I I I +kr.• NO NOES. LOSOPHICAL SocirrY.—The first meeting of the Thilesopliical Society of Van Diemen's hind was held in the COurt.house on the 16th of January tact ; the president, Dr. Henderson, in the chair. The Lieutenant Covernof (Colonel Arthur), Mrs. Arthur, and several other ladies, .with upwards of a hundred of the most influential persons in the colony, were present at the inauguration of a learned society on a spot, which, compa ratively few years ago, was occupied by savages. The Chairman read ari address explanatory of the objects and character of the society. He began by taking a view of the benefits likely to be derived from the institution, and proceeded to remark on the present state of the natural sciences, perticularly as regards their nomenclature, sug gesting an entirely new system for introducing ono general and determined form of expression, by which those who col lected new plants, animals, or other curiosities, though themselves at a distance from each other, might infallibly be enabled to give the same name to their discoveries. Calling the attention of the society to the importance attached to a scientific acquaintance with all that is connected with the soil, its productions, and inhabitants, he gave a sketch of the geological formation of the isle, and explained the no tion that he had formed from the inspection of several parts. From this he proceeded to remark upon the botanical vari eties already discovered in the country, and to point out the numerous subjects of natural history that encourage the researches of the philosopher at every step. Mr. FRANKLAND congratulated the Members on the formation of such a society on an island, their very residence on which was a practical proof of the utility of science, for it was the progress of astronomy and navigation which led to its occupation. He observed : " science led to its dis covery, but its discoverers, instead of bringing bless ings in their train, have heaped ruin and destruction upon those children of misfortune, the aboriginal owners of the soil ; a people naturally amiable and intelligent, who, with better treatment on the part of those who have come in contact with them, might have been rendered valuable friends, and have continued a happy nation. However, f should hope that there is yet time to restore that harmony which, but for the brutal inhumanity of white men, had never been broken ; and surely no more glorious object could this Society propose to itself than that of acquiring a more in timate acquaintance with this much-wronged people, with a view of ameliorating their condition, and of saving them from being extirpated from the face of that earth on which he Almighty had placed them." Mr. HONE said, he was glad that his friend, the surveyor general, had alluded to the aborigines as a subject towards which the inquiries of this Society might be applied. He lamented the estrangement which had taken place between Europeans and the natives, and remembered a meeting which had been held in the building opposite (pointing to the Church), at which he bad presided : much had been said on that occasion, and much had been done since. Dr. Tv as sou. remarked, that though Lavoisier, by re casting the language of chemistry, had given new life to that science, yet similar attempts had failed in benefiting equally the other branches of natural history. The Presi dent had endeavoured to supply this desideratum, on a new and unambitious plan, which certainly promised to be suc cessful. He had declared war against the 30,000 arbitrary names of plants received in the nomenclature of botany, and had suggested the substitution of certain syllables and let ters, of which might be compounded names expressive of the diagnostic marks of each particular plant. It remained for the President to apply these principles to the new plants dis covered in the botanical investigations of the Society, and should they work well in practice, most assuredly he will have conferred a great boon upon science. The opportunity was favourable if the system could here be tried on neutral and untrodden ground. Dr. Ross said that he shared in the gratification which the Society must have experienced from the scientific and beautiful essay that they had just heard ; but he held a dif ferent opinion from their worthy President on one part of the subject on which he had enlarged. He alluded to the pro posal of adopting a new form of nomenclature. He thought that the attention of the Society ought to be devoted, in the first instance, to the collection of facts illustrative of the natural resources and productions of the island, rather than indulge in speculative schemes and new theories ; that whatever new species might be discovered by the members would for many years to come readily find a place in the ex cellent classification which learned men had adopted in the old world. No. 2.—AC A DEM YOr SCIENCES Or PA aze.—On November 2, the secretary read, on behalf of Dr. Larrey, an extract of a letter from M. Gamba, French consul at Tiflis, wherein he states some particulars relative to the progress of the cholera marks in the Russian empire. The disease appeared at Tera, in the autumn of 1829. It ceased during the winter, but in the spring it broke out afresh, spread along the banks of the Caspian, and extended to Astraean. Its ravages seemed for a time to moderate, but they soon recommenced with redoubled force. On the Bth August it appeared for the first time at Tiflis, and at tacked three soldiers of the garrison. The nature of the malidy was not at first known ; but prior to the 13th no doubt remained. The affrighted people endeavoured to check this new scourge by making processions ; but the assemblage of per sons, some of whom had the germ of the disease, only served to accelerate its propagation, and the number of cases aug . mented with prodigious rapidity from day to day. • The earliest symptom was commonly an entire prostration of strength, which was soon succeeded by alvine evacuations and repeated vomiting, icy coldness at the extremities, then all over the body, cramp, and at length death, which often happened before the eighth hour. Calomel, bleeding, and stimulants were applied, but no mode of treatment succeeded. In order to restrain, as much as possible, the causes of contagion, the bodies were buried immediately after death, and with the clothes on; but i va riety of general causes contributed to favour the propaga tion of the disease : such as the elevated temperature of the place, and the situation of Tiflis between two mountains, which impedes the free circulation of air. In less than a year, the number of inhabitants has been reduced from 30,000 to 8,000. At Tabree: more than 4,000 persons have already fallen the plague. iiich pre- PANORAMA 'The following arrangement will bencetitward be con tinned in the STAR, and it will combine the interests of the united kingdom in one focus. Public attention is invited in this manner, and a separate arrangement tilopted, in the confidence that so useful a feature will recommend this Journal to preference in every place where a daily evening paper is read. In all the colonies,and in all countries where Englishmen reside, this yaws 'Rom HONE will confer peculiar interest on the STAR. The circle of every six days STAR will present a complete picture of the kingdom. As an integral part of this Panorama of the Empire, intended to be at once Barran and COLONIAL, the Con ductors of the STAR earnestly invite original communica tions of facts, authenticated to the Conductors, by the names of the writers. At this interesting crisis, they especially invite information relative to the real state of the country— and the actual remuneration of the productive classes, both in agriculture and manufactures—and they will be happy to record instances of the lowering of rents—of modifica tions of tythes, and increase of pay ; specifying the rates and amounts—end in particular, they desire to be apprised of all cases in which parochial allowances, and the comforts of poor-houses and parish cottages have been increased. They wish to see the Press instrumental at once in making real grievances known, and in doing justice to all acts of concession and liberality. For means of doing their duty, the Conductors of the STAR appeal, therefore, to the public spirit of their Readers in every part of the empire. Editors of papers, desirous of being quoted in the STAR, are requested to transmit them ; and, in our daily references, the strictest impartiality shall be observed batween conflict , ing interests. SHEFFIELD MERCURY, JAS. I. Certain subscribers to the fund for the restoration of York Cathedral, opposed to the removal of the organ s erten, consider, the decision of the meeting of the 28th of December as ratifying that of the 29th of July last ; that the guardians of the Minster have therefore no right to as. same such opinions as indicative of the wishes of the subscribers • and that under these circumstances, we consider that no ulterior proce edings Wading to remove the screen are justifiable. That whatever be the future decision of the Chapter on this point, we expect, in case the screen is removed, that the Dean will be prepared and empowered to redeem the promise re pea tedly given by him, and uncontradicted by any member of the Chapter, though in their . Bence, that every dissentient subscriber shall receive back, if d emanded, the whole of his subswiption. We pledge ourselves to make that de. mend,: and in case the than is not empowered to return the money, we shall call on him, as personally bound, in honour, not to consent to the removal of the screen. An information was laid by Mr. Paul Bright, the Inspector of Coen Returns in this town, under the 9th of George IV. against Messrs. Vickers and Sons, coin-dealers, for having neglected to wad in a return of the British corn purchased by them in the Sheffield market, on the 7th of December last. Mr. B. Vickers admitted the offence, but showed his memorandum book, in which he bad by mistake entered the pur chase under the Rotherham market of the previous day. The magis trates convicted him in the lowest penalty-81 13s. Id. On the morning of Saturday last a stack of oats, belonging to Mr. John Ellis, of Fawesther, near lkikion, was discovered to be on fire. He hastened to call his neighbours to his assistance is quenching the fire, but before, however, this could be accomplished, the stack was al. most totally consumed. Our letters from the country bring oa;ounts of several new fires. The premises of Mr. Nunnery, in Theme - It-lane, near Whhchurch, were to tally consumed on Wednesday night week. Mr. Roe's silk-manufac. tory at Congleton, Cheshire, was burnt down on Thursday morning week, and only three bales of silk were saved. This day, the pensioners who reside in this town and neighbourhood will be sworn in as special constables, in compliance with the proclama tion of the King. The feverish condition of the manufacturing &trim excites, at the present moment, $ painful degree of interest throughout the country. Tug Poos-Rarzs..—ln 1776.6, the expenditure for the poor in Ragland and Wales, wheat being then at 465. the quarter, amounted to 1,630,0001. The average cost of the poor for the last 17 years, em bracing two of war and Mass of pesos, has been 8,430,0001. Tan LOVA/HUM Tozw.cottr.—The men still remain off work, but they have not displayed any desire to disturb the public peace ; consequently the reports which have been circulated in this town, of a number of factories having been burnt, is without foundation. A Special Meeting of the Company of Proprietors of the Sltelleld canal, numerously attended, was lately held at the Town Hall, which it was unanimously agreed to authorise the Committee to oppose the projected Railway from Sheffield to Goole.

The c o mment have no wish to cheat the fait ex pression of public opinion, nor to interfere with the right of petitioning parliament, or of temperately appealing to those a ith whom the power of redressing the grievances complained of may rest. But, I am further directed by his Excellency to observe, that while he is mat anxious to secure to the people the undisturbed exercise of their constitutional eight, it is no less his determination than hie duty, in the mean of the high dila with which he has been entrusted by his Majesty, to guard against any abuse of those rights leading to a violation of the law or a breach of the public peace.
