THE HOUSEHOLD NARRATIVE.

tion, and proposed that the members of the Council
should be chosen by "the combined votes of all persons
possessing the electoral franchise in the whole colony,"
-arguing that the possession of the confidence of so
vast and varied a constituency would be a qualification
higher than the ownership of 20007. or even 4000l. fixed
property. The popular proposal was supported only by
the elected members, Stockenstrom, Fairbairn, Brand,
and Reitz: Mr. Godlonton joined the officials, and
made the division against it one of seven to four. By
a similar vote the property qualification was affirmed;
and it was resolved that the members of Council should
be elected for ten years. On the 20th September, the
secretary of government having presented some drafts
of ordinances for consideration, Sir Andries Stockenstrom
moved as an amendment, that the ordinances for consti-
tuting the local parliament should be proceeded with
till completed and passed, before any others be taken
up. He was supported by the same three popular mem-
bers who before sided with him: Mr. Godlonton again
joining the officials, he was beaten by seven to four, and
a resolution the reverse of that which he had moved
was affirmed. Sir Andries handed in a paper of "
sons for dissent," signed by himself, Mr. Fairbairn, Mr.
Brand, and Mr. Reitz: he and those gentlemen then
tendered the resignation of their seats in the Council,
and retired.

On the 21st September, the representatives who had resigned issued a joint letter to their constituents, assuring them, that within a few days some proposal would be publicly subinitted for bringing their wishes explicitly before the Queen, the parliament and the people of England.

The accounts from New South Wales reach the 30th of July. The Legislative Council at Sydney was in full session, and applying itself to measures of a useful and practical character, some of them rendered necessary by the exigency of peculiar circumstances, and others consequent upon the rapid advancement of the colony in population and commercial prosperity. The question of steam communication with England was brought before the Council by Mr. Donaldson, in a series of resolutions which excited an animated and interesting discussion, in the course of which the several speakers were unanimous in condemning the tardiness of her Majesty's government in completing the necessary arrangements. The subject was referred to a select committee, with an instruction to report upon the propriety of withdrawing the vote of 60007. per annum, already placed at the disposal of the Executive, and offering it as a bonus open to private competition. A select committee of the Legislative Council was also appointed to inquire and report upon the expediency of forming a settlement at Cape York, on the north-west coast of New Holland, or in the immediate neighbourhood. Its eligibility has long been the subject of investigation and favourable recommendation by naval surveyors, and it is expected that a staff of government surveyors will be speedily despatched to the projected colony. The geographical position of Cape York is such as is said to render its occupation an object of paramount importance. The mover of the resolution in reference to the proposed settlement was Mr. Nicholls, a native of New South Wales, born of European parents; and the conclusion of his speech affords gratifying evidence of the feelings entertained by that class of the community towards the mother-country. Such a settlement (he observed) would undoubtedly be another step in the progress of civilisation-another outpost of the great Australian nation which was destined to perpetuate the religion and the language of the Anglo-Saxon race in the southern hemisphere. It was by such steps as these-by pacific triumphs-by establishing educational institutions, and by fostering commercial enterprise, that Australia would become great, and never by the arms of its children being turned against their forefathers

Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein, travelling as Lieutenant Gronwold, and accompanied by Captain Stanley Carr, a British officer, had arrived at Sydney from Port Philip, and was a guest at Government It was expected that the young prince would shortly return to Europe by the way of India.

PROGRESS OF EMIGRATION AND COLONISATION.

The work of Emigration goes on rapidly from the west and south of Ireland. In the end of October a crowd of New World. The local paper states that they came from peasants passed through Athlone on their way to the the village of Clonoron, about two miles distant, and had been but a few days previously evicted from their holdings. While going through the town they were cheering and shouting, and appeared in the best possible humour. On ascertained to have arisen from the circumstance of their inquiry as to the cause of their unusual mirth, it was having received a large sum of money from their friends in America, which came to hand on the very morning A remarkable case of Successful Emigration is that Two-and-twenty they were ejected from their cabins. of Mr. James Wilson, a native of Caithness, who lately arrived in England from Australia. years ago he landed as a young emigrant at Van Diemen's Land with 50s. in his pocket; fifteen years ago he crossed over to Port Philip, when there were only two huts in that now flourishing colony, and there he has remained ever since. He is the largest individual sheep farmer in the colony, being the owner of 30,000 sheep, and land sufficient, reckoning, as he does, an acre to a sheep, to feed 60,000. He is now worth 30007. a-year. His visit to England is to see the old country once more, when he purposes to pass the remainder of his life in South Australia.

Intelligence has been received of the arrival in Australia of the first parties of Female Emigrants despatched by the Committee of the Female Emigration Fund. The ship Culloden, with a party of 38 girls, arrived, all well, at Port Philip on the 6th of July; the ship Duke of Portland, with 65 on board, arrived, all well, at are stated to have behaved with great propriety during Adelaide, on the 2d day of August. The young women their passage out, and to have had good health throughout their voyages. The most favourable testimony is borne to the good conduct of those in charge of the emigrants, and to the well working of the arrangements which were made by the committee here on their behalf. Both at Melbourne and at Adelaide this immigration appears to have been very favourably regarded by the colonists. Of the 38 landed at Port Philip on the 8th of July, it appears by the Melbourne papers that 31 were engaged as servants at wages varying from 127. to 201. a year before the evening of the 10th, and subsequent advices state that every one of the girls had obtained employment. All the girls landed at Adelaide had secured employment at fair wages within four days after arrival. The ladies' committee, who provided for the reception of the young women at Port Philip, appear to have been most favourably impressed by their appearsays, "They appear to belong to a class of immigrants ance and demeanour; and one of the Melbourne papers peculiarly adapted to this country, being young, healthy, and intelligent, and apparently possessed of that happy buoyancy of mind, and that hearty determination of purpose, that will enable them to act well their part in invitingly before them." any of the many situations of usefulness which lie so

NARRATIVE OF FOREIGN EVENTS.

PRUSSIA with twice three hundred thousand men has accomplished the great feat of marching up a hill and marching down again. She has shown all her teeth, that the world may perceive she is unable or indisposed to bite with them. Industry and commerce have been suspended, the workshop and the farm have been deserted, all the ordinary hopes and avocations which make up the everyday life of Prussia have received a check of the most disastrous kind; and, as far as yet appears, for no earthly object but to show how eager the king is to obtain the domination of Germany, and how utterly unable and imbecile to accomplish his desire. It remains to be seen whether the people, thus bodily dragged into the conflict, may not take upon themselves at length the authority of ending it.

The French President has delivered a message as meek as Cardinal Wiseman's appeal. He promises nothing less nor more but that he will be a good boy in future, and attend to all the tasks which the Assembly may choose to set him. He is delighted that France should be so prosperous, and is preparing all kinds of things to make her more so. Will the Assembly be so hardhearted as to turn him off when he is so good a boy?

Pio Nono, after dispatching his bull to England, favoured Sardinia with an "allocution." In this document his Holiness adopts all the acts of the Cardinal Archbishop Franzoni, formerly commemorated in this narrative; and distinctly approves of the refusal of the holy sacrament to a dying statesman, who had been active in promoting a law hateful to the Roman See, because favourable to the equal civil rights of priest and layman! Let Lord Beaumont, and other Catholics in England, take warning in time.

The man-hunts continue in America; and a real rebellion has broken out in China. The earth is full of portents of which the issue must be waited quietly. Mr. Webster preaches not only the sacred duty of obedience, but the infamy of resistance, even to the law which creates property in the bodies and souls of human creatures; but even in quiet and stationary China, it would seem, and with little more than tariffs and duties at issue, a termination is apt to come, sooner or later, to these duties of obedience and penalties of resistance; and Mr. Webster may yet live to discover that there are inhuman laws which carry with them no obligation of human acquiescence or submission, even for a day.

and distributed. The motion was seconded by another Montagnard (M. Baudin), but was received with loud expressions of disapprobation by the majority. M. Odilon Barrot then rose and said that the prorogation committee did not consider it necessary to present a report, and that he had therefore no further explanations te give on the subject. He terminated by moving the order of the day, which was voted by an immense majority. The House then rose.

The National Assembly of France met on the 11th. | different meetings of the committee should be printe On the following day it chose its officers. M. Dupin was elected President, by 383 votes out of 594 present; the other votes being divided between M. Mathieu de la Drome and two or three more. M. Dupin took the chair, and immediately declared M. Baroche, the Minister of the Interior, to be in possession of the tribune. M. Baroche proceeded at once to read the "Message of the President of the Republic; presenting, in virtue of the 52d article of the Constitution, the exposé of the general state affairs of the French Republic, addressed to the Legislative Assembly in the session of the 12th November, 1850." The Message treats its subjects under the headings of Interior, Finances, Public Works, Agriculture and Commerce, Justice, Public Instruction and Religious Worship, War, Marine, and a concluding Resumé.

Under all these branches the view given of public affairs is highly favourable. In the Interior, confidence and tranquillity have been restored. The finances progress favourably; international commerce has been raised; and everything concurs in warranting the hope that the deficit of 1850 will be sensibly diminished, and that the equilibrium announced for 1851 will be realised. Great reductions are making both in the army and navy. Foreign relations are satisfactory. The benefit to the French flag of the liberalised navigation-law of England is acknowledged; and hopes are expressed that pending negotiations will end in arrangements still more in conformity with the interests of the two countries.

The reading of the Message was listened to with fixed attention, and the closing passages called forth loud applause. The favourable impression made by the Message had even increased on the 13th. Twelve hundred copies were posted up in the different quarters of Paris, by orders of the Prefect of Police; and 37,000 copies were sent to the provincial communes.

At the commencement of the sitting on the 13th, the result of the ballot for the vice-presidents was announced. MM. Daru, Léon Faucher, Benoist d'Azy, and General Bedeau were all re-elected and proclaimed vice presidents. The old secretaries, MM. Ârnauld (de l'Arriège), Lacase, Chapot, Heckeren, Beraud, and Peupin were also re-elected. The business transacted was not of public interest, except perhaps the motion made by M. Antony Thouret, who proposed that the prorogation committee should deposit what it has drawn up on the incidents which have created so much agitation in the course of the vacation, and that the minutes of the

The subsequent business of the Chamber has hitherto been of little interest.

A serious occurrence has taken place in a small towr. of about 5000 inhabitants, called Bourg St. Audéol, in the Ardèche. On the morning of the 18th the AttorneyGeneral of the department, accompanied by 90 men, comprising gendarmerie and troops of the line, proceeded to effect the arrest of a person named Morrice, Deputy-Mayor of the town, on a charge of being impli cated in the Lyons affair. The arrest was effected; but as they were escorting him the troops were followed by a large crowd, and when they were about to issue from. the streets to the country, they found their way stoppe by barricades, from behind which they were received with a volley of stones and some musket shots. The soldiers fixed bayonets and moved steadily on, while those who were mounted were preparing to leap the barricade, when the lieutenant who commanded the gendarmerie was struck by a bullet which broke his under jaw. The troops halted for an instant, loaded with ball, fired a volley at the assailants, charged, swept in an instant the barrier before them, and scattered the infuriated rabble in all directions. One of the insurgents lay dead behind the barricades, and several wounded. The gendarmes arrested seven, and led them off with the prisoner to rescue whom the revolt was got up.

The intelligence from Germany during the past month has constantly fluctuated between peace and war; and the innumerable conferences and negotiations between Prussia, Austria, Russia, and the smaller German states, have as yet led to no ascertained results. In consequence of the failure of Count Brandenburgh, the Prussian Minister, to effect an amicable arrangement with Austria, the whole Prussian army has been placed on a war footing and the landwehr has been called out.

The Prussian chambers were opened on the 21st by the King. The following is the portion of the Royal

in another, 700 in a third, 400 to 500 in a fourth; and in the other 11 or 12 khans there were as many as made up the number of 7000. Honourable mention is made of the conduct of M. Lesseps, the French Consul, who distinguished himself in his unceasing endeavours to provide for the wants of the distressed, of whom he received in his Consulate upwards of 200, and the personal requirements of about 600 others he daily supplied. An account three days later states that a reinforcement of troops had arrived, that the fugitives were beginning to return to their homes, and that an appearance of tranquillity was restored, though there was still a strong undercurrent of evil.

The latest accounts from New York are dated the 15th instant. The excitement caused by the operation of the Fugitive Slaves Bill still continued, and serious disturbances had taken place at Philadelphia and other places. On the other hand, a great meeting had been held in New York, at which leading citizens expressed their regret that a measure regarded by the greatest statesmen as a portion of a fair compromise, and declared

by them to be strictly constitutional, should now be
denounced as unjust and unconstitutional, and as war-
ranting resistance by physical force. A letter from Mr.
Daniel Webster gave his warm adherence to the reso-
lutions.
"The measure," he said, " is not such a measure as
I had prepared before I had left the Senate, and which,
of course, I should have supported if I had remained in
the Senate. But it received the proper sanction of the
two Houses of Congress and the President of the United
States. It is the law of the land, and as such is to be
respected and obeyed by all good citizens. I have heard
no man whose opinion is worth regarding deny its con-
stitutionality; and those who counsel violent resistance
to it, counsel that which, if it take place, is sure to lead
to bloodshed and to the commission of capital offences.
It remains to be seen how far the deluded and the
deluders will go on in this career of faction, folly, and
crime."

This demonstration at New York is said to have had much influence on public opinion in the Northern States.

NARRATIVE OF LITERATURE AND ART.

THE Laurel has been bestowed on Alfred Tennyson, and could not have had a worthier recipient. It would be well if the detur digniori could be as certainly put in practice in every office. It is understood that the offer was accompanied with an intimation that the usual birthday odes had been now for some years discontinued; and whether or not this implies that they will not in future be expected, it is yet satisfactory to feel that an ancient office which directly connects the highest person in the realm with its literature is not altogether abolished. Certainly the salary was not worth saving. Originally it was a hundred marks, which James the First raised to a hundred pounds and a tierce of canary, for poor old Ben Jonson's sake. The tierce of canary is now commuted to some five-and-twenty pounds; but, nevertheless, what with income-tax, land-tax, pension-fees, and other fees and taxes, the whole remuneration is little more than ninety pounds. Another appointment of the past month has given equal satisfaction. Sir Charles Eastlake is the new president of the Royal Academy, his talents and accomplishments having marked him out without a competitor for that distinction.

The publication of new works has been more active than usual, but very few books of importance are discoverable among them. Not a small proportion have been pamphlets and treatises connected with the current agitation against popery, of which it would be a waste of space even to transcribe the titles.

Miss Strickland has commenced a series of Lives of the Queens of Scotland in the manner of her book about the English queens, and with promise of an equal amount of gossiping detail. A certain Baroness Von Beck has published Personal Adventures in Hungary during the late civil war, proving herself a heroine of some of the most daring attempts and most marvellous escapes on record. Another lady has given us a novel of earnest and highly-wrought incident called Olive. Nor will it be much out of place to conclude this list of feminine achievements with the mention of a book which Sir Francis Head has dedicated to the ladies, on the Defenceless State of England. Its object is to show what Lord Ellesmere formerly demonstrated, that if a French army resolves to invade England, it can easily do it; and when it reaches London, which there is nothing to prevent, it will only have to walk in at one end while everybody else is marching out at the other.

nigh fourteen hundred years the Makamet of Hariri has just been awakened by the translation of Mr. Preston, an able English scholar. The design of this Eastern classic was to display the vast resources of Arabic in a series of rhythmical and metrical anecdotes containing all the riches of the language, and illustrating its rare words, proverbs, and figurative and enigmatic expressions. From this the character of its interest may be estimated, as well as those difficulties of translation which Mr Preston has mastered admirably.

The fact that the Keepsake has appeared once more may still interest some readers. A sort of ghost of the book of beauty in the shape of A Court Album which visits us at the same time, and another volume of The Drawing-room Scrap Book, are all of the once gay and crowded ranks of "Annuals" which appear to have survived the revolution in this kind of literature. Its passing away leaves nothing to regret.

Mr. Macready is giving a series, or rather completing the series which was interrupted by ill-health last year, of farewell performances at the Haymarket Theatre. He has appeared, during the month, in all his principal characters, and has been received by crowded audiences with the utmost enthusiasm.

and Marie de Meranie, at the Olympic; Slous's play, The Templar, at the Princess's; Mr. Lemon's farce, The School for Tigers, and Messrs. Brough's melo-drama, Jessie Gray, at the Adelphi; and The White Hood at the Lyceum.

Lord Ellesmere himself has been meanwhile engaged in the less alarming work of writing an agreeable introduction to a translation of Michel Amari's War The principal dramatic novelties produced during the of the Sicilian Vespers. Southey's Life and Corre-month have been Marston's play, Philip of France spondence has been brought to a completion. A clever little compilation of Narratives of Shipwrecks of the Royal Navy, between 1793 and 1849, has been issued in one volume. Another book has been added to the many that may now be consulted for the terrors and enjoyments of Sierra Leone. A treatise on the Distribution of Wealth, by a Mr. Thompson, has been disinterred from its sleep of a quarter of a century to show (which was quite needless) that the French Socialists have had English precursors. And from a profound rest of

Webster's tragedy, The Duchess of Malfi, has been revived at Sadler's Wells, adapted to the modern stage by Mr. Horne.
