AFFAIRS IN AUSTRALIA The system which
the English government invariably pursucs, of
giving to its favorites large tracts of lands
which it presumes to be at its disposal, to the
detriment of the laboring classes meets an op-
position from the people of Australia equal to
that 1t has heretofore encountered in other por-
tions of the British dominions Ten and twen-
ty thousand acres are appropriated, at a uomi-
nal rent, to individuals who do not desire TO
cultivate them; while there are thousands who
would gladly purchase and till them, who are
now either idle or unprofitably employed. The
people talk boldly Of taking the land question
under their own supervision, if their wishes are
not very soon complied with so that those par
ticularly desirous that the English government
should retain her distant colonies, might do
well to remind her that when disposed to throw
Oft the yoke, there have been instances when
they were not as easily held in subiection as
possessions nearer home.

"ALAs! THE POOR INDIAN NO wonder
that the Indian makes attacks upon his natural
foe, the white man, when opportunity presents
Read the following, from the Shasta Courier
+ Mr.. Pierce, a packer, missed some of his
animals one morning week or two since, on
the Trinity, and after searching Intellectually for
them for some time, returned to his camp. Soon
after he observed several Indians approaching,
and jumping at the conclusion upon the instant
that the Indians had stolen his animals, he shot
two of them dead. In a very few hours there
after he found his animals in the immediate vi
cinity of his camp! The consequence has been
that since that time the ranchmen in the valley
have lost q large number of animals and the
ultimate result will be the further loss of life on
both sides. Such inconsiderate conduct on the
part of sensible white man is inexcusable--
proceeding from malice or mere resentment, and
not being necessary for purposes of justice, it is
pure revenge and O most henious crime"

HORSE AND CATTLE THIEvEs-A large mum.
Der of valuable cattle, says the Sonora Herald,
were stolen about ten days ago, from the rancho
of Mr.. Sanchez, by party of Chilenos, headed
by Frenchman. They were travelling towards
the mines with the cattle and some stolen hor-
ses, and excited the suspicion of Messrs. Bolado
and Ripa, of San Luis Gonzaga, by passing
their place at night and in mysterious man
ner. Messrs. Bolado and Ripa started in the
morning in pursuit, and after getting a rein
forcement of some Americans from Stones
rancho, on the San Joaquin, they soon came
up with the thieves who as soon as they saw
their pursuars, attempted to run with the hor-
ses, leaving the cattle behind. They were too
closely pressed, however, and had to leave the
loose horses and escape into the mountains, one
only being caught, after a hard chase, by Mr..
Rafael Ripa. The Frenchman, the leader Of
the gang, would also have been caught by Mr.
Stone, but for the breaking of his saddle girth.

captured robber, and proceeded to deliver the
former to their owner and to lodge the latter
