The sbeorbing interest of the events in the East has ovcupied attention to the exclusion of all other matters. From England we have nothing of mo- ment to report. The London agents of the Peruvian government have given notive that the general bond for the con- version of the deferred Three per Cent debt, has been deposited at the Bank of England. They have also advertised the particulars of the special bonds, amoontiog to £16,500, which have been purchased and caucelled in conformity with the operation of the sinking fund. Affairs of Feargus O’Connor. Before the Lords Justices of Appeal ia London. I¥ LUNACY—IN THE MATTER OF FEARGUS O'CONNOR, The object of this petition was to obtain an order from the Court directing some person to execute conveyances of the several allotments of the O’Con- norville estate (formerly called “ Herring’s-gate farm,”) at Rickmansworth, in Hertfordshire, to the edlottces of the same, inthe place aud stead of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, who has been found a lunatic. It was asked thot the official manager eppointed to wind up the affsirs of the National Land Company might be appoiated to execute the deeds, because he ‘was a person who, in his cfiicial capacity, must do #0, and, if he also executed on behalf of the {unatic, toe giving to the allotices, who are persons in hn«able umstences of fe, would be most essential, as, if any other person were directed to do 80, every deed must be perused on his bebalf, and the execution by bim of every deed mu:t be separately attested, and the expense of a consequen‘ial attendance. The peiition was headed not only “in Lunacy,” but “In Chancery,” under the Trastee Act, L850, and also in the matters of the National Land Com- peny’s Dissolution Act, and the Joint Stock Compa- Dies’ Winding-up Acts, 1848 and 1849, Mr. Roxburgh supported the petition. Mr. W. Forster appeared for the committee of the lunatic. Lord Justice Turner.—We are of opinion that we Tave jurisdictiqg to make the order, and therefore make it as folloWs:—‘Order, that the official mana- ger do execute the conveyances, under the Sth sec- tion of the act to dissolve the National Land Com- pany, to the allottees, in the name and on the behaif of Feargus O'Connor, to be settled by the Master, the money to be paid and payable by tha allottees to be subject to the same lien, if any, of Feargus O’Connor as the estate would have been.” Mr. W. Forster said that the petition had been ori- | ginally presented to Vice-Chancellor Wood, who, there beiag a lunacy, had, of course, no jarisdiction to entertain it, and therefore the costs ought to be paid by the petitioner. Lord Jastice Turner.—Let the costs of all_parties to this petition, and of the petition to Vice Chancel- Jor Wood, be paid out of the estate of the National Land Company. Ireland.

Galignani’s Messenger, Dec.11.] There has been for some days past ® rumor in the diplomitic circles that the governroont intenéed to ublish in the Moniteur some remarks ou the fusion tween the tvo branches of the Bourbons. It was said that the Emperor had received the news of tha | fa ion from the Raron de Sourqueney at Fontaine- Dleau, on the 20th ult. and had communicated the | itormation to the members of the diplomatic corps who were at the palace, and to the principal person- ages of bis court, observing briéfly,and with great | — feeling, that it was Bratitying to see the discord ween two families forming part of thegreat family | of Frauce at an end; but that, if any person saw tnt tis fusion a politicel character, it might bo said to | hi them, that it was not for individuals but for God and the sovereignty of the people to fix the fate of skit and dynasties, It was not in- ded, it was said, to take tiny public notice of the fusion until rome false statements had appeared in the foreign journals represen'ing | the news of the fusion to hive caused great | s8, 6nd even alarm, in the Imperial Court. It was then, according to this rumor, resolved that a notice of what bad really passed should be taken of | the affiir in the Montteur. This bas not been done; | but in the two semi-official journalx—the Pays and the Constitutionnel —not less than a page and a half are filled with an article on the subject by the political | director of those journals, M. de 'a Guéronnitre, The | text, which it had been reported would be published | in the Moniteur, is preserved by this writer, but it is | Bo diffused as to love much of ita force.

But the patriotiim which eurvives alt cecgptions will be the refuge of all the fidelities be- trayed and of all these convictiors deceived. To those per/ons who have no longer any perty to serve, there re- mains the country to love end to defend, The fusion does not disquiet the empire; it would comselicate it, had it need of any consolidation; for, in slieting the monarchi cal situations, it only allows a principle cf governineat, a force of authority 10 subsist; and that in the principle whence it has issucd, it is the force whieh it earries ia ite Mande, It ia, besides, to be remarked that the fustoa is so well convinced of its weakness that it dces aot think of triumphirg by its own force It knows wall that i: would net have the slightest chance of tuccess, execpt by & disaster of the courtry or by the diseppearauce of the man of genius who now ocsup'ca the throne. It fs, consequently, reduced to make itself dauphin; it dots not aspire to replace the Emgeror, but to succeed him. It could sot succeed him, unless he carried away with hi prudence, his sloverness, th prestige of his name, the confidence and faith of the seople. It would then place itself in the void of anarchy rely to disappear in it, and soon to be itself aunihi- lated. What then is the fusion? A word, and nothing more; it iarota power; it is not a prinsiple; it is no: evens party; it is not either monarchy or revolution; it 4s the result of the morarchy, completely deteriora‘ed; and of the revolution, disevowed; something vague, inde: finite, which has neither precedent in history nor root in the country; a bastard royalty with double face, one Icoking to the past, and the other to the future; the half of a throne joined to the half ofa tribune, not for the pur- pore of staying it up, but for the purpose @eestroying {teelf by the inevitable avtagoniam cf preterd@us which have slways opposed eachapther and the collision of which bas been the cause of all our revolutions, The fosion presents itesif as the trisl to be made of & new jovernment.

Tt shows the cause of their grandeur, acd of their downfall, in the respect or forgatfulzess of the principies from which they draw their existence, In fine, it proves once more the tcuth, for parties ns for men, of that expression of Montagne, so pro- found in iteelf, "What is ost difficult 1, not to live well, bu: to die well.”? Yes, we deslare it with profound gadners, if the French monarchy is to die, we should have desired that it@desth should be worthy of its life, and that it ehould be extinguished with its Jaet scion in the pesity of its principle and in the glory of its flag, which that of ancient France, Tho institutions, the govern- ments, and the men so dying, do not expise altogether, for they revive for posterity.

The following summary of the position of the ey of Victoria is extracted from the Molboarne 101 gj the improvement reported in our last summary as become more decided.

Great things are expected of the Ovens during the coming summer. Bedigo elso continues to maintain its reputation. But the chief talk of late has been about Balarat, the firet of our gold- fields, and still worthy of being ranked among the best. At the clese of Jast month several diggers there came uj what they called a regular “ table of gold;” and thore who were so fortunate as to took almost fabulous quantities out of, their claims, which from their richness recetyed the appellation of the ‘jewellers’ shops.” he escort returns having raed the current Tep rts, a “rush” was the immediate consequence though from the nature of the new diggings in that quarter multitudes will be doomed to disappoint: ment.

Our own prodaction is amere drop in the bucket, comparéd with our con- sumption; and co numerous is our population becom- ing, and such large consumers are they of all the necessaries of life, that the somnles of all adjacent colonies, New Zealand included,must for a long time be utterly incdequate to our requirements. Wehave considerable stocks of American flour on hand; but shipments from the ports of the United Statesappear now to have been nearly saspended; and, as is al- ways the case in a rapidly fluctuatizg market, low prices have for a time prevailed, and we begin to fear a possible scarcity before our own harvests come round. It is rathera fearful thought to those who do not deal in flour, and therefore have no interest in high prices, that a commanity like ours, accustomed to extravagant consumption, is ao far distant from all extensive sources of supply. The course of post with England and America necessarily occupies many months, and between the periods of orders Lil sent and being executed there seems quite a possibility of eles ranging from a rate that will be ruigous to sbippers—to one little short of famine to the consum- ex. While fodder continues-so high that oaten ha; has long been, pound for pound, dearer than wheat en flour, our agriculturists will naturally avoid turn- ing their attention to the produetion of grain. And in the meantime, probably for many years, the sup- ply of these colonies with breadstuffs will constitate aetrade very well worth the careful attention of the merchants o! Great Britain and America. TRADE AND COMMEROE, The market is still overstocked with goods; but our extraordinary [Rebs of consumption have pre- vented anything like a decided glut, waile symptoms of a firmer feeling are beginning to appear. Credit and confidence are unshaken; and activity is discer- bible in every department of industry and enter- prite. Building operations are carried on to a sur- prising extent, a 4 the town is consequently spread- ing out in all directions, and exhibiting an improve ment in external appearance which wonld reflect credit on older cities. A wew hotel has been opened, fitted up in astyle of great magnificence. An ar- cade bas been erected in the centre of the city. Pab- lic baths are added to the list of our luxuries. We have now a post office, which is a perfect model of completeness and convenience; and, if the official msnagement of the institution bears any analogy to the mechanical perfections of the budding, we shall hear no more complaints about postal irregu: larities. We heve the pleasure, also, of recording in this summary a decided progress in railway under- takings. The Melbourne and Hobson's Buy Railway is in course of construction, and is expected to be opened for traffic in six or eight months. The ter- minus atthe bay is to be connected with a pier, which will admit of large vessels cae alongside for-discharging their cargo. This will be of im- menre advantage, not only to merchants, who will thereby get their goods landed, both at less expense and in better order, but also to immigrants, who will be saved from the vexatious attending the present tystem. The wonder is that such a work was not undertaken sooner; but, once begun, we hope that it will be peabes forrard speedly to its completion. The Legislative Council of Victoris had been ed on the 30th of August. The speech of the Governor, Mr. Latrobe, contained an unexpected an- nouncement that it was the intention of the govern- ment to abolish tke gold license fee. For the next thase months a fee of £2 is to be collected; at the expiration, of that period the act will have been pa: abolishing the fee altogether, of reducing it toa nominal sum for the purpose of registration. e is sudden change of policy on the part of the government of Victoria would render it impossible to maintain the license fee on the fields of the pro- vince of New South Wales. The Constitution bill tor Victoria, it is announced, will constitute the upper chamber of that colony on the clective principle. SYDNEY. On the 18th 6f September a great public meeting was held in Sydney to agree to a petition to Her Majesty, containing a protest against the provisions of the Constitution bill, as opposed to the wishes and interests of the inhabitants, and to all sound principles of British liberty. The petitioners ex- press a desire to see established a furm of govera- ment framed in accordance with the genius and spirit of the constitution of their mother country, and declare tha‘ the preceyt{Legislative Council does not, and cannot, represent the yoice of the people of. New. South Wales, end is, therefore, incompetent to frame a constitution which will be satisfactory to the inbabitaute of the colony. They aiso declare their perfect confidence in the wisdom and justice of the Imperial Parlisment and the sentiments that sway the Councils of Her Majesty on this question; and they prey Her Majesty to withhold her assent to any measure that may fail to embedy the views and wishes of Her Mojesty’s loyal subjects and petition- ers, and that some regard be paid to those views in any meosure that may be laid before the Imperial Parliament.

The government gave way without a struggle, and the miners were for a moment satisfied; but we took oc- casion to observe thatafter euch a concession the eu- thority of a government is gone, i's weakucss is con- fessed, and it orly.exists by the snfferance of a lawless muititude, ta, whom it has taught the terrible secret of theit own LS bags The same will which repeal- ed witha breath the reasonable Cemand of govern- ment can break through other restrictions. There are no longer two parties to the contract between the (Sie seeker and the government. They take as much and pay as little as they please. ‘The evil is only atits commencement. As these persons lave met together by no concert, some tine must elapse be- fore they can be brought to act in unison, but every day brings us nearer to such a result. We have not for- gotten the ridicule with which these opinions were Teceived by our contempcraries of the English press, or the abuse levelled at them in the colony. We have waited for time to do us justice, and that time has come at least as coon a8 we expected. Inatesd of the police heing made really efficient, it seems, through a mistaken snd mosi prodigal economy, to bave been allowed to fa)l into absolue coutempt. The inadequacy of salaries caused the best officers and men to retign, and they were replaced by ome morally and physicelly unfit for the duty. The dig- gers became enlightered, as we predicted they would be, as to the secret of their own strength, and also as to the weakness of the body which professed the leseon. In June and July of this year meetings were held detiouncing the license fee, and agreeing to a memorial to ihe Governor praying for its reduc- tion toten shillings. At these meetings the most fapguinary threats were uttered, and one of them concluced with an attack on the police, who fled from it in terror. On the lst of August the depnia- tion waited on the Governor with a memorial, sigued by geven thousand miners, requiring the immediate | reduction of the license fee, a3 esteblished by law, from thirty to ten shillings. Mr. Latrobe answered, ‘‘What you ask me is im- possible; I cannot destroy the law; I am sworn todo iy duty, and am prepared for anything. While the license fee is law it must be obeyed; there are other and more important interests than the gold diggers’ to be considered.” This answer brought matters to a critis. The miners assembled with flags and agreed to pay no more than ten shillings licenee fee, avd to appoint a deputation to tender that sum to the Commissioner. In answer to this demonstration Mr. Latrobe published a letter, already commented on in these columns, in which he argued the matter in dispute with calmpess snd ability. On the 28th of August a tumultuous reeeting was held at Bendi- go, and the ten shillings, in fail payment for licenses tendered to and refused by the Commissioner. Guas were fired, a badge of resistance, a red riband, was adopted,the miners abstaived from taking ou! licenses for the next month, and separated after announcing their intention to reassemble on the Ist of September. They had no occasion t do s0; on the 30th day of that very August, on the 1st of which Mr. Latrobe had so emphatically refused 10 lower. the license fee, the Legizlative Council of Victoria met, and it was thus that panic stricken" Governor addressed a craven Legislature:—¢ The objections to the present lizense fee, and the practical difficulties iu the way of col- lecting it, have forced themselves latterly so forcibiy upon me that Iam disposed to propose to you its total abolition, merely reserving a registration fee for police purposes. A of revenue Ww a large amount will thus be incurred, which I propose to supply by a revision of the tariff, including an export duty on gole.” On the lst of September the gum trees at the goldfields were placarded with notices of the intentiops of the government, but drawn up in such abject terror that of two documents, ared on the same day, one asserted and the other Sonic that the license fee for the current month would be collected. A hurried committee of the Legislative Council recommended, az a ma‘ter of urgency the passing of a temporary act, fixing the lcense fee at forty shillivgs for the remaining three morthe of the year—a sum which, after the declara- tion of the Governor, will, of course, never be col- lected, and can only be considered as a decent pre- lade to allowing the tex to drop altogether. ‘Thos, then, bas one of our most uufavorable pre- dictions been more than rea'ized; the government of Victoria is humbled in the dust before a lawless mob; the reign of order and the supremacy of the Jaw are at an end. With regard to the mining creant government are forced to register tie edicts of a heterogeneous multitude, and the institutions still left to the colony exist avowedly upon sufferance, As was the case wen they defeated the attempt to increase the license fee, the miners for a moment are fatiefied, and a shortlived tranquillity is procured. But who shall ray “how Jong that tranquillity shall last? Bow long will those who refuge to pay a com- peneation for the public property which they appro: priate submit to pay it mdirectly ia the form of an export duty? What injustice can be greater than to impede the operations of commerce and the acqui- sifion of the necessaries of life, in order to grant peciese impunity to a class’ already in possession of incredible riches? And whet grester aggravation of this injustice can there be than the consideration that itis inflicted under the dictation of violence and the influence of terror? O” conrie, the aban- donment of the license fee in Victoria will draw after it its abolition in New South Wales; and just at the moment when gn increased revenue is required the colonies will find themselves aap res of that they already possess. Weare weary of the part of Cas- sandra, but if this plague can be arrested the home govervment ovght not to lose one moment in takiog pore ; and, if it cannot, they had better surrender a goverpment which they ‘admivister under the Gictation of a mob comprising in its numbers the most desperate of adventurer? and the vilest of criminals.

The Chancellor and Judges of the Court of Errors, the highest court in the State, have decided in fuvor of the validity of its bonds; and according to the law of the State, it has nothing for it but to pay up without more ado. The judgimeut, however, is about ss unpalatable a3 Por- Via’s in the ear of Shylocks when she repaid him with a literal reading of his bond, and the American Shy- lock—that is, the noble citizens of Mississippi—are determined to resist the law by ell the means their constitution puts in teeir power. As fast as the | jusges present themselves at the elections for the gislature of the State they are rejected by the horest avd patriotic repudiators. Judge Yerger bas already paid the penalty of his unseeuly deaplngta the rights of the credivor; and Governor Focte bas been rejected, there appears to be little doubt, for having shown the same ili-judged predilection. ‘Tag citiays sre in arms, and “ Repudiation or death” the battle-cry of the contest.
