(From the /newness Courier.] A Gentleman in our neighbourboOd has retained us with 'letter just received from VIM ffiemen'• land, from which the following interesting partichlars are extracted :-- Campbell:own. Elisabeth Riter, Aug.l, 1825. Sup.—lt it now time 1 should endeavour to fulfil my promise; bat being well aware that many false accounts have been sent to the mother country from this colony as well IS from Australia, I therefore thought it best to deter writing till such time as my know ledge of this country would prevent me from C. amitting similar earns. It is now better titan two years and a half lance I arrived in this colony,—the greatest part of which lime I have resided on my own farm, with the exception of three or fouajourneys I took to different parts of the island ; so I now think that I *hall be able to give a pretty correct opinion of the cottony. When we diet en tered the Derwent, I cer airily was greatly disappointed with the land that app-aced in my view, That part of the Wand as far as the eye could reach being very hilly, or rather mountairiona, toge ther with its being very thickly timbered, induced oie to think that the country was not to good as it had been represented ; but the farther we sailed along the river the better the land appeared, although as yet I could not see many farms in cultivation. How ever, own) my arrival in Hobert Town. my mind was quite altered from the dislike I took to that put of the country I first saw, hav ing then in my view an innumerable number of farms in the highest state of tillage. with neat cottages erected thick together, with substantial soil fences every where to be met with. llobavt Town isthriving fast, an - I the increase 0 population, and new houses built since my arrival, la quite beyond belief ; but as yet there are no villages in the interior, with the exception of one in the bieutitul fertile &strict of Pit Sa'ater,--although there are a number of townships lett throughout the country for the purpose of buildirg and farming ; but as yet there Aeon more than three or ea o ) four Mattes erected upon any torpor iii viz., a Government col lege, a jail, a barrack, and PI public -liruwe but as the colony is fast iticreatiog in popteation, I have 1o It tailor' in sayiwg, that era long, they will :anomie a different appearance. Launceston is situ ated on the junction of the I.ake and Esk rivers with the Lamer, and is a very thriving town. and from its situation with Syd ney. must increase rapidly. The Derwent and the Lamer are the la gust ricers in the island—the former navigable for the largest ships nine miles higher .up than Hobart Town, and twenty-two miles fur her up for sloops of ordhary burden. The Lamer is also navigable for ships of 500 tons as far up as Launceston. Two other large rivers have lately been discovered, but as yet there is no settlement formai on their banks. The island from one end to the other, aw.far ati it list been explored, consists of hills and valleys, for the most part thinly wooded, with large plains here and there perfectly clear. The soil. even on the very top of the very highest hills is of a very good quality. and canable, if ever land should get scaree, of powlueing any kind of grain as well as some of the low lands. al y own farm of 800 acres, as also my brother's of 600,stre of a very good quality, and should we at any tame find our interest in cultivation, we Could plough 590 acres, without having a single tree to retard the progress of the plough ; and many other farms I know are equally clear of timber, and the soil even better. The cheapness of wheat last year, together with the former year, pre vented us from doing much in the farming way, farther than a sufficiency to serve ourselves and %avant*: but owing to the great quantity of wheat exported limit towel() Sydney, South America, Cape of Good Hope, and the Isle of France this year, the price of wheat and barley has been raised from six or seven shillings to IN. and 201. per bushel. 1 ant told that 20t. have been refused from Government. All the farmers in the country, together with many that have not been brought up in that way, are now busy ploughing and sowing, and from the great qmintitrof seed sown this year, it is fully expected that wbest wiU he down next harvest to its former price of Ga. or 75., which sum ought to pay the farmer pretty well, considering that he has neither rent nor taxes to pay. Horses are very dear in thineountry, sae from ;AI. to 1001. I paid 80 guinea- for a mare the otber day, which was considered cheap. Sheep end cattle are much the twee as they are at home in Eng land, set ewe' and *edam from Ifs. to 265., and cows from 5/. to 151. according to their quality. We paid for the first 700 ewes we purchased 255. per head; but they were of the very best quality. Gar number of sheep is rather better than 21100, besides 400 wed ders we sold the other day to a butcher for I!. 6s. fel. each, and' delivered at our stock-yard. The climate of Van Diemen's Land is much her than I ever expected. I do not recollect to have WM. LINDEMAN. Sec `U' i R. A.

For his part he was quite ignorant of what had been done • Mr. Wingfield had the arrangement of every thing. He unde rstood that more money was required to finish a steamer ; but nod' he could satisfy his own mind that there.was a rotnpany really in est istence, and that the Shareholders approved of the expenses if. ready incurred, he never would consent to a further call.

The birds are the emus, from C. to 12 feet high, the black and white cockatoos, black and whim swans, parrots, paroquets, pigenns, quails, different kinds of ducks; amongst the number is the large mountain duck, together with the beautitul musk duck, whose skin is so very valuable, There are native hens, which are much like the common ben at home ; mag, pies, eagles, hawks, and crows, are plentiful, together with a va riety of pretty little birds. The only reptiles in the country are snakes, which tire of two kinds, the black and yellow snake; they generally run from three to six feet long: their bite is instant death. ',nicest the piece is cut out the very moment it happens. Many of the farmers of this country cultivate tobacco with success.; but as the Lester country is much better adapted for the growth of that article, the preference is generally given to it. The Merino sheep have come to great perfection in Australia, and many of the stockholders of this island have been improving their flocks fast of late years, so that many of them have flocks now equally line with those of New South Wales. The new estabiisliment at the Gulf of Carpenter is, I am told, doing well, as every thing they have tried promises abundant tmurn to the adventurers. The tobacco plant, sugar cane, tea plant, and ail kinds of spices thrice well. The great Australian Company formed in London has already sent a great dal of their property to that country, and it is expected that the undertaking will pay well. By the latest arrival from England we are made acquainted with the country having been made independent of Sydney. We will now have a Governor-in-Chief of our own, which will to a certainty be of the greatest importance to Van Diemen's Land. I have now. Sir, given you all that I know, as far as rcgatds this country, and must say, that I consider Van Diemen's band to be one of the best places io the world for a man of family,—l mean a farmer, with a numerous family of sons and daughters, that could bring two or three thousand pounds with him. I never would advise any per son to come to this country with less than bOOl. unless he be a working man • if so, he can do very well should he not bring a farthing with Ctim. At the time that I arrived in this country, the merchants were by no paeans enterprising. They had but very few vessels of their own, but now it is quite different with then). They have a number of sloops, schooners, and brigs of the first quality. sailing regularly between here and Chins, for tea. &c. Isle of France for sugar ; Bengal, Batavia, Cape of Good Hope, and all the de Perrot ports of Smith America, besides a number of vessels that are always employed in the whale fishing; the whales being so very plentiful that many of them have been caught this season within a mile of Hobart Town ; and from the good accounts that whaling vessels bring of the number canght by them selves and others not yet arrived, it is certain that oil will become a good article of export. The essence of wattle will also add to the' export, and is now in great demand to be sent to the ruott.er coun try. Wool will also in a very short time make one of the prineipsl article* of expert to England : it is besides found out that there is a never falling market fur the surplus of corn, as Brazil alone will ! take 70.000 bushels annually, and the Isle of France 30,000, he- sides many other places will take less or more. There are seven • distilleries and five breweries in the island, all busily employed - Tea and sugar have been rather il!ar this season, in consequence of the destruction of Canton by tire, and a hurricane in the Isle of France that destroyed their cane; but the Lest season it is expected.' that both those articles will he down to their original price:—fine , young Hylton 9L to 91. 10s., Ilyson skin from 71. to 71. 10a. per chest ; and line sugar V i tt. to 4i. per pound. Black tea is never 1 used here, the common people would not even look at it should it let imported. There is scarcely a poor individual in the country bu• takes tea to every meal. The pour people live in this country much better than most of the !substantial fitment in England, at least so far as beef, mutton, pork, and flour, together with good tea and sugar, go. Cheese is generally sold from Is. lid. to 2s. lid. per lb. ; butter Is. lid. to 3a. Col., eggs Is. lod. to 3s. per dozen ; fowls 3s. to 3..141. per couple, according to what supply is brought to market. Prisoners are the only servants in the settlers' employ, with the ex ception of one here and there, as overseers, or such as take employ ment ; some of them that 1 have seen are not a bit better than the common convicts, and are generally very ungrateful to their em ployers, or rather to the person that brought them from England, as they do him no good till such time as he gives up their Wen.

CORONER'S INQUEST. DREADFUL SUICIDE.—Last night an inquest was held at the Bud Tavern, Sherborne-lane, bombard-street, on the body of Mts. :Margaret Clifford, who committed the act of self-destruetton. . Hancock, of No. 12, Sherborne-lane, coal dealer. deposed that on Sunday morning, soon after eight o'clock, he was informed Ales. Cli ff ord had hung herself in her bed-room. He went to her apartment immediately, and found there Mr. Benjamin Stocks and the deceased's husband. She was suspended by the neck from a large nail in the wall by a handkerchief. Witness held bet in his arms whilst Mr. Stocks cut her down. She was quite dead. but Mr. Price the surgeon was sent for. lie bail knows her many years. Her husband was in the Post-office. She was about thirty years of age, and latterly had appeared very strange in her manner, which he attributed to her being addicted to drinkles. Benjamin Stocks stated that he lived in the same house as the deceased. On Sunday morning, Mr. Clifford, came down stairs and aroused witness's wife, who went up stairs, and then he heard a shriek. Winless ran up stairs, and found the deceased hanging as described by last witness. He cut her down imme diately, but she was quite dead and cold. She was very fond of liquor ; and when drunk, which was frequently the clue, was like a madwoman. Witneu always considered that the deceased aid her husband lived happily together. Mr. Price, a surgeon, residing In Cannon-street, stated Slat the husband of the deceased fetched him Shout half-psat eight on Sun ' day morning; and when he arrived he found that she bad been cut do wn. She was quite dead and cold, and had been se an hour and a half. There was a ligature round her neck, and he had no doubt she died from strangulation. A young gentleman, an assistant to Mr. Price, stated that he • had attended the poor woman for some time, and very lately sh: bad complained of an affection in the head, and she had frequentl y told hint that she was sometimes so bad that she was usable to pur sue her ordinary business. Mary Arnold knew the deceased, and considered that she bad been of nniound mind for some time past. Clifford, the husband, stated that on Saturday night .he and b s wife retired to bed about ten o'clock, Sbe was then much in I ' About six o'clock next morning she got up and left hint bed ; he reaesined asleep till about eight, and when be arose 1 v discovered her banging by the neck, and quite dead. Witness lust observed a very great change in her manner lately, and she had given herself up to drinking to excess. The deceased had tied, first, a handkerchief round bet neck very tight, and then the end of another handkerchief vas &Mend to the one about her throat, and the other end to the nail in the vie. She had then mounted the table, and, having attached the end 1 , 1 the nail, threw herself off, and left herself suspended, with her feet about two feet from the ground. The Jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased banged Inc self in a paroxysm of mental derangement."
