Yesterday a meeting of the Governors of the Isindon Fever Hospital took place at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of receiving the Twenty-third Annual Report of the Fonunittue. J. L. MALLET, Esq. Treasurer, in the ('hair. The CHAIRMAN observed, that the Committee had conceived it noressary, in dog their report, to remind the public. that the objects of this Institution were to diminish the mortality of contagious malignant fevers, by a speedy removal of the persons Linn taxied into the Hospital; and to prevent tile !prowling of these fevers by purifying the apartments of patients by means of wbite-washing, fumigation, &c. Two very important advantage *ere thus acquired, which were unattainable by the ordinary regu lations of public charities. First the admission was not delayed by formalities of recommendation, on stated and distant periods Mr the reception of patients; so that ft early application be nude the dis ease might be taken in the commencement, and easily cu red. And secondly, the assistance being extended beyond the walls of the Hospital to the infected apartments of the sick, those who had not already suffered were preserved to their families, and the patients, mice recovered, escaped the danger of a fresh infection on their re tam home. The effects of the insidious approaches of malignant infectious fevers had been too often felt among all ranks, and of course no institution had a stronger claim upon the opulent than one which, by cutting off the very sources of contagion. secured them from the visitation of so dreadful an enemy to the human race. The purposes of the Institution would be much promoted by the cu-operatton of medical practitioners, especially of those who visited the parish poor, and also by the activity at overseers and other parish officers, in obtaining information of the existence of fever in their districts. Dr. CiEv Env, presented the Report of the Committee, which Has read. It stated, that in the year 111'3 the admissions into the Hospital amounted to 336, of which number =1 had been dis missed cured, 14 wore dismissed as improper objects, and 46 died. There were remaining in the Hospital 23; and the total number of admissions since the opening, in It J 2, amounted to 4,871. For the font ears preceding 1922 the cases of fever were gradually di minisheo, the admissions being in the first year 606 ;to the second .5361 in theyhird 477 ; and in the fourth 323. An increase of 100 took place In int for the number rose to 426. Last year the dumber had declined to 339. So that the Committee considered malignant infectious fever as stationary for the last three years, so far as they could judge from the Hospital records. With respect to scarlet fever, it was grateful to remark, that though amongst the public ft was uncommonly. prevalent, and In mina families had Wen very destructive, and though no ler than fifty-six patients had been received into the Hospital within the last year, no one instance of death had occurred from that disease. The parishes containing the greatest number of sick were St. Pancras; St. Andrew. Holborn; St. Lake; St. James, Clerken well ; St. Matthew, Retimal-green; Christ Church, Spitalfields; St. Giles, and Whitechapel. In no preceding year had the In. stitution rendered such Important services as in die present. Seventy-five domestic servants had been adniitted, and many families had been relieved from the anxiety and danger naturally attendant upon persons in contagious fevers. A little girl had been brought so thebospital front the Asylum for Female Orphans, in the typhus fever, and was cured; and no other instance ofinfectinus fever had since occurred in the nunmerous family of that excellent charity. The Report, after some further interesting statements, which our litnits will not permit us to detail, regretted the low state of the finances; notwithstanding which two important improvements had bees made last year. A convalescent ward had been built, and a distinct apartment had been fitted up for the reception of the sick upon their arrival at the hospital. With respect to the improve ments which appeared to be indispensably necessary, an apartment for the physicians, the Director's pupils, and visitors, was still a deritleruton; antl pronounced by an Intelligent veteran for meth eine the chief defect of the establishment. The Report concluded by observing upon the necessity of increasing the funds of so ad mirable a Charity. Dr. SHEPHERD then moved, that the funds were inadequate to the extensive objects of this Institution, and that it should be re ferred to the General Committee to adopt measures for increasing the resources of the Institution. Some conversation took place upon this resolution, in which se veral (lender:wit joined. It was unanimously agreed to. The Duke of Somerset was then re.eleeted President for the year ensuing, and the name of Lord Bexley was added to the list of ice- Presidents. The meeting then separated. A vessel is arrived from Rio Janeiro, which place she left on the 6th of December, but the letters are not yet delivered. By the arrival, however, of the Lycurgus at ( . owes, on her way to ilatnturgh, we have some news front Bahia which refers to events of interest, of which we have received no account. The next post will probably explain the matter fully. The following is an extract frau the letter of our Cowes correspondent : The Master of the I.vcingus reports, that s few days before Its satkd from Bahia, the 'Pernambuco troops 'hail left Bahia, on their return to Pernambuco, in the English vessels George, Mar quis Wellington, and Cambrian (after - having quelled the distur bances and token Bahia). Great jealousy prevailed between the Pernambuco and Bahia troop* ; a Colonel of the former was stabbed the day before the Pernambucans left ; and it was much feared another commotion would have taken place previous to their evacuation," The following is an extract of a letter from Jamaica to a gentleman in Edinburgh : St. Andrew's, Jamaica, Dec. 22, Mel " We are preparing to mount guard in all the parisho, some baring already commenced. In , O. :Mary's, the negroes have been undennining • fort, and taking out the ammunition. Ten bare been condemned, and will be hanged next week. Their Intention was to maioaere the whites. with the exception of La dies and 'Medical Gentlemen. This information transpired this morning." Thomas Jervis, Esq. is appointed Puisne Judge of Chester • and Horace 1 wise, Esq. is nominated Counsellor to the idmiralty and Navy, in the room of Mr. Jervis. CALMCCUI AND MONGt i.s.—The Calmucks and Mon gols arc the remains of the Scythian., who, under the intamand of Medics, became masters of L'pper Asia, and conquered Cyaxares, King of the Mears. They are the men whom Ghenghis Khan and his sons led afterwards as far as G2rn any, and who formed the empire of the Mogul under Tamerlane. These people are a striking example of the vicissitudes to which all nations are subject. Some of the honks, far from being any way formidable, yield homage to Russia. Such is the situation of each particu lbr tribe of Calmucks, who inhabit the country between Siberia and th e C Caspian Sea. Here they found, in 1720, a a uhterraneous house of stone, some urns, lamps, and ear rings j , an uestrian statue of a Prince, with a "'adorn on eq his head, tw wome n Oriental seated on thrones, and a !IP of parchment, which was sent by Peter the Great to Acad e my o f I nscr i pt i ons at Paris, and proved to be ill the language of the kingdom of Thibet. All these I nonument s plainly show that the liberal arts formerly re ," led in this sow barbarous country, and are a lasting Rnof of the truth of what Peter the Great said more than that those arts h a d ma d e tour of the whole world. , RE-ELECTION 'of Ste RIGHT HOY. THOMAS WAk LACE, far the BOROUGH cy . WEYMOUTH. WEYMOUTH, FEB. 12. On Monday last, a numerous and re:peetable meeting of the frienda of the lion. Thomas Wallace took place at the Guildhall, in this borough, when it was unanimously resolved, that the Right Hon. Gentleman should be re elected as one of their Reprewmitatives in Parliament, five lof expense, and by a full attendance on the day of eleetitn, to testify their regard and estean for his many invaluable services, as well for the benefit of the public as for his great attention to the interests and welfare of his consti tuents. This being the day appointed for the election, soon after ten o'clock the Guildhall was crowded to excess with a 'most respectable assemblage of freeholders. At eleven o'clock the worshipful the Mayor Joseph lionford, Esq., in his Magisterial robes, decorated with his gold collar and medal, and attended by the Sergeants at Alace, proceeded from his house to the Guildhall. After the usual forms had been gone through, EDMUND UN XING, EM., rose and shortly addressed the meeting by observing, that after the many proofs which the free. holders hod received of Mr. Wallace's steady and sincere attach. ment to our excellent Constitution, and the very great ability and zeal which he hail shown for the interest of the trade and general welfare of this country, it would be the height of presumption in him to add a single word more on the subject, r he was thoroughly convinced that any thing lie could say would fall infinitely short of the Right lion. lientlemon's merits. lie should therefore propose the Right lion. Thomas Wallace as a Mond proper person again to represent the borough of Weymouth in Parliament. The motion woo seconded by John Martin, Esq. and carried with bursts of applause. The MAYOR then demanded if any other candidate would offer himself; when— The flee. Mr. Harattitssm Mee, and in expressing his gratifica tion at the harmony which prevailed on the present occasion, ob served, " How good and joyful a thing it was for brethren to dwell together in unity ;" which was not only most correct in a reli gious but also in a political point of view, and when contrasted with the scene, of tumult and riot which had existed at former elections for this borough, but which bad now happily subsided into so pleasing a calm, was particularly gratifying to his feelings. The Rev. Gentleman then stated the qualifications which, in his opinion, a Member of the Commons II ouse of Parliament ought to possess : be should have a clime understanding of the great interests of the country, an independence of spirit and manliness of character, with a most inflexible integrity. These qualifications he considered were possensed in the highest degree by the Right lion. Gentle -1112/1 who solicited the honour of being again returned as the Repre sentative of this borough; which was the greatest trust that an Englishman could receive, or that Englishmen could bestow ; and he congratulated the Right Hon. Gentleman on the honour which awaited him in again receiving the unanimous suffrages of so large and respectable a body of freeholders. (Cheers.) The MsToit then declared the Right lion. Thomas Wallace duly elected, which was received with loud and reiterated cheers. The Right liononrable Titom aE s WALLAC rose.—Gentlemen, often as A have hat the honour a addressing you as freeholders of tins borough--sometitites as a candidate in soliciting your suffrages, sometimes in the heat of contest, and at other tintea in returning you thanks for the honour you had conferred on me—yet never did I rise to address you under circumstances of greater difficulty than I feel at this moment; a difficulty arising from recollections of the strongest and most affecting nature. No language I ant capable of using can express my feelings for the kindness you have shown me. In return fur this kindness I can only promise you that my humble abilities shall be exerted to the utinovt of sty power to your service and that of the public, though I fear they will fall *hurt, very Awn, of what a Representative in Parlianient ought to possess, and even below what I myself consider to be ne cessary in one who undertakes so great a responsibility. All, how ever, that is in my power topromise, I pledge myself you shall have. (Cheers). 1 cannot but express to you my regret at not having of late been enabled to appear more frequently among you. The cause of my absence has not arisen from my being engaged in pleasure or amusement, but in the discharge of my parliamentary duty, and in the execution of the high trust of reform which the legislature has imposed on me and my colleagues. (Applause.) The expres sion of your approbation of my exertions in Parliament affords me peculiar gratihcation--exertions which have been directed to eman cipate the trade of this country from the restrictions to which it was subject, and to place it on a more enlarged and liberal system with respect to other nations and to mankind in general, so as to open a way fur the commercial interests of Great Britain to partake of the benefits resulting from an intercourse with the whole world. At such a moment as the present, I deem it highly necessary to refer to the general situation of the country. When ( last addressed you in this place, the country exhibited many symptonis of despondency, arising from the transition from a long protracted war to a state of peace: our trade languishing, our agriculture in a state of un paralleled depression, and, as a natural consequence, our revenue diminishing. But what is the present state of the country it Agri culture rapidly reviving; commerce extending itself beyond any former period ; the revenue not only such as to enable us to diminish taxation, but also to afford relief to many important branches of national industry; our manufactures so flourishing, as nor to be able with the utmost powers of machinery to answer the demand both at home and abroad; and I ant induced to believe that the measure which I had the good fortune to introduce in Parliament has in some degree contributed towards so favourable a result. (Cheers.) After so long a war, we are now egioyina the full bene. tit of peace, and I hope we shall net be induced to endanger us con tinuance by interfering with Foreign Powers, or by being led away by any romantic love of liberty to force it upon a people so totally unworthy of it as the Spanish nation. The Right Honourable Gentleman then congratulated his constituents upon the cordial union which prevailed among them, and concluding by returning his most sincere thanks for their unanimous support, assuring them, that next to the general interests of his country, the pronto. titan of their welfare and prosperity should be the principal objects of his attention and regard. The Right Honourable Gentleman sat down amid loud plaudits. The Right lionourable Gentleman was afterwards chaired round the Borough, accompanied by the Mayor and Body Corporate, preceded by a baud of music and colours flying, amidst a vast con course of gentlemen and inhabitants of the town. The day being a remarkably line one, rendered the whole a must imposing 'WPM— Dorset (*usual/ Chronicle. ANTIQUITIM—An interesting discovery has recently been made in the ancient and celebrated Abbey of Cluny. in France. In a tomb at the bottom of a cave, and walled entirely round, were found the remains of James Ambrose, brother of the Cardinal of that name, and forty-eighth Abbe of ('luny. A body in perfect prectrration has also been discovered in the village of !Andres, in the depart ment of the Haute Maine, which has lain there for centu ries. Several parchments, the contents of which have not yet been deciphered, and some coins, bearing the effigy of the King-Cardinal ('harks X. were found near the body which is supposed to be that of one of the warriors killed at the battle of Fontaine.—Fronmise. • Aceint Nr.—On Thursday, while a girl, employed at a wool-mill in Mill -street, was taking some wool front under one of the breastorollas, it caught her hair, and dragged her in among the machinery. Before she could be extricated, one of her can was nearly torn away, one of her eyes was almost forced from the socket, and her whole head was fearfully bruised and lacerated. She was conveyed home to her parents ; and hopes are entertained that she will survive the accident.—Glarginc Free Press. MIRACULOUS ESCAPL.—We have seldom had to record a more miraculous escape than on the present occasion. About twelve o'clock yesterday part of the house of Mr. Braggs, baker, of Drury-lane, and part of an adjoining one, fell with a most dreadful crash. The houses were inhabited by lodgers, all of 1 whom had .amilies, but, strange to say, with the exception of one person, none of them were hurt. Several men employed in remov ing the rubbish from the vacuity made by the pulling down of two houses nest door, just at the moment the accident took place, had gone up the street, and they also escaped. The anxiety of the crowds of persons, who were with difficulty kept front approaching the remaining tottering fabric, may be better felt than tlescribed ; hundreds stood watching the gradual opening of the apertures, until at length 1111.A* were adopted to prevent further mischief. DICRnLi.—I/n;night, about half-past ten o'clock, as John Jones was returning home, accompanied by his son, a boy about fourteen, from attending a friendly society, of which he was a member, lie was attacked in Vauxhall-road, op posite the end of 3laguire-street, Liverpool, by three men. They were armed with bludgeons; and as soon as Jones came up, they struck the unfortunate man several blows on the head with these deadly weapons, ;aid he fell almost instantly. 'rile savages, having accomplished their wiaboliml purpose, immediately tied; but the shriek,' of the boy having attracted the watchman, and other per sons, to the spot, the villains were pursued, and one of them was fortunately secured. He was committed to Bridewell to await the Coroner's Inquest. Meanwhile the unfortunate man was taken up insensible, when it was found that his skull was so dreadfully frac tured by the blows it had received, as to leave no chance of his recovery. He was conveyed hirsute, and after lingering in great agony, expired yesterday at noon. The deceased was a sawyer, and had continued at his work, notwithstanding the bulk of the trade have, for some time past, been standing out for wages ; and his conduct has, it is supposed, excited the hostility of the other men. The man who was taken in endeavouring to make his escape is also, we are infolnied, a sawyer. The bludgeon with which he was seined is a piece of square mahogany, so formed as to be firmly grasped by the hand, and to strike with great force.—Liverpoo Paper. UTION.-111:Ale$ GREARE.—J. Atkinson, importer of the genuine Bears' threw*, respectfully cautions the Public against numerous counterfeits of the above article ; many of these counter. faits are sold as low as Is., and are only lard, marrow, Ike., and some are very injurious to the hair. The genuine of his importa tion has a Bear printed on the top of the pot, and a printed bill round the pot with his signature and address. The high estimation this article has long held for the growth of hair, and the remarks of a celebrated modern lecturer on physiology, that " Bears' thew from the animal in its native climate possesses very remarkable mope-Mew for regenerating the Hair," supersedes the necessity of further remark. J. A. wall only add, that this is a genuine article, which he regularly receives once in six or eight weeks from his Correspondents in Husais. It is of the very finest quality, and very pleasant for dressing the hair, making it beautifully soft and glary.

Oa Saturday, the 7th instant, Mr. Rice attended the Claire of Ring's Bench, and remained there during the hearing of the case ilicyswit •r. faun Parabolic.' At aboitt three o erne. on passing through the Hall, it was said, he was accosted by M G O'Grady, that gentleman inquiring for a certain Noble Rani at present in London. Mr. like said - he was well. Mr. O'Grady then expnnaed himself respecting that Noble Lord in a manner quite disagreeable to Mr. Rice, who, politely bowing, said ha understood • and if the remark conveying a harsh opium of his Noble Rel ative was intended as an taselt to hits, he knew the course to tyke. On Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, the parties proceeded to decide the quarrel. Dawn Robeck and .Ir. Franks were the seconds; Mr. F. bring second to Mr. Rice. The nestaata of the principals, with two surgeons of eminence, proceeded t• a field all Sininiond's Court-avenue, on Donnybrook road. The ground was measured, and the parties were about to receive the signal for tiring, when the police appeared, who had no previous knowledge whatever that a duel had been on lout. Their presence thtre was for the purpose of preventing a violation of the Sabbath, and in order to disperse the individuals who had on previous Gass 'ons assembled in that quarter for the purpose of hunting badgers tile. It was the appear a n ce o f the carriages in that retired lane, that dinovered the intended duel as the officers passed by. The seconds, on the appearance of the police, were immediately appre hended; the principals effected their escape. The seconds were bound over to keep the peace. Col. Cutle, U.P. was afterwards requested by Mr. Rice to act for him—by some means the I.:stistratt s heard of this, and caused that gentleman to be bound over in ro less s penalty than 5,0001. Hilton's Hotel was in vain searched for Mr. Rice. At eleven o'clock on Sunday sonic of his friends were to have breakfasted with him, and lie did not return. During the day, Mr. Sheriff Perrin made the most diligent inquiries in all parts of the metro polis, but sought in vain fur the parties. In the evening the man sion of an exalted relative of Mr. O'Grady was visited by the Po lice; Mr. O'Grady was not there, neither was it known where be was to be found. The houses of 'trim friends of Mr. Rice, in Fitswilliam-street, were visited by )Ir. tlabbnt, the Magistrate of College -street. and by Mr. Farrell and Mr. Ijoutlisou, in the evening ;—the object of their search was not to be touhil. Up to a late hour last m i ght no intelligence of Mr. Rice or Mr. O'lirady had been received in any quarter accessible to us it is supposed that they have gone to the country. Officers have been stationed at Howth and Kingstown, with warrants to apprehend then), in case they may feel irchned to decide this nutter in an other kingdom.—Dubliu are happy to hare heard of the termination, honourably to both parties, of the misunderstanding which unfortunately took place between &distinguished senator and a young barrister, highly connected. It is said that our gallant county reprementative. Co. lonel T , and Captain W , agreed on a mutual ex. planation, which ended in the retraction of certain expressions dis respectful towards a Noble Earl. The popularity of one of the parties engaged in this affair, and the extraordinary nature of the immediate origin which report tu.sigriud to it, were calculated to ex cite a great degree of interest in the public mind, with regard to the result. And we feel great pic.isure in being enabled to set at resist! further anxiety on the subject.—Dabliu l'rcemurd's Journal. On Monday, as a respectable gentleman, labouring under an aberration of mind, was passing along blethven-street, with a double-barrelled gun in his hand, the dog by which he was ac companied was attacked by another animal, which so irritated the gentleman, that he tired one of the barrels of his piece. Pan of the contents slightly wounded three men who wcre in the street and he was only prevented from tiring at a person who was about to remonstrate Witil him, when he %.1% disarmed by Bailie Wright, who had the unhappy man conveyed home.—Gl.4 , ver /'taper.

At a General .Meeting of the Agricultural Society of Van Dientan's Land, held at the Ship Inn, Hobart Town, on the 13th August, 1823, the President delivered the following Address:— " At this Meeting I cannot omit to call the attention of the So ciety to an agricultural comparison ( which has lately appeared as part of an Address, read by the President to the Agricultural So ciety of New South Wales) between that colony and Van Diemen's Land. (See the British Press of Jan. 30.1 1 owe it to the office which by your favour I occupy, and to my own connection with this country, as a proprietor of land and a fanner, to state the grounds upon which, I trust, we shall be enabled to shew, that we have better pretensions than those assigncd to us. " The superiority of New South Wales, as a country, is asserted in several points.— First, as to water. It would occupy too much time to go into topographical details, by which only the comparison could be brought to test, nor is it necessary for me to attempt it ; I need only dispute the assertion, and earners my conviction, that on proof the comparison would not be unfavourable to our Island. We are at least exempted from the alternate droughts and I floods, to one or other of which New South Wales is almost an ' nually subject; and whith tender its mops so uncertain, that, like those of a sugar plantation in the West Indies, it may be ac counted to do well if one season out of three is productive. " The comparison of climate for wool, at present also rests solely upon assertion—for proof exists not. Ihe experiment is here in its infancy ; it is not my place to vindicate our pro genitors of the colony, for having so long neglected to follow the example of New South Wales in improvement of sheep. We all know, that the improvement of wool in New South Wales has been pursued for the last 23 years at least; but, while we ought to acknowledge this useful example, we cannot admit that a pre sent comparison of the wool of the two colonies carries any proof of the influence of our climate being adverse to its improvement. We have imported largely, and continue to receive by almost every ship fine-woolled sheep, from the best flocks in Europe and New South Wales ; and we had an excellent stuck of our own. 1 1 In noticing the comparative tale prices of the wools of the two colonies, as given by the President of the Agricultural Society of New South Wales, 1 must say, that I see nothing to be ashamed of. It there appears (obscured rather, I confess, in a parenthesis), that two lots of our wool bore 2s. 2d. to 24. 7d.; the wool of New South Wales, in large quantities, from 2s. 441. to 3s. 4d. Surely this is nothing discouraging; if we have already 2s. 7d., who shall say where we are to stop, with the present spirit of improvement, and the means which accompany it " Our climate certainly forbids sny tropical productions ; it ex cludes us from some productions of New South Wales, of which probably maize is the only important one; but, I think, this is more than compensated by other advantages. We have, in equal perfection, and with greater facility, all the fruits and vegetables of the Mother Country, and we can keep them as lung, which, in New South Wales, is impossible. %ye may well resign the orange and the citron, when we can have grain in substance and produce and in store quality (for the weevil immediate)tinvades the grana ry, as the moth does the stack, of New South %Pales), one-fourth superior in value to what that country affords ; and potatoes, to which those grown in the Sister Colony have no resemblance. To hot winds, and their destructive blights, we are nearly strangers ; our summer heat may be taken as 70 to 90 to that of New South %Vales, and our winter is never severe. The interior of the island, I need not say to any one who has seen it, exhibits nothing like a Prairie—the country described under that name is uniformly wet and insalubrious. Our isLuiil, in every variety of surface, is healthy at all seasons. It is throughout alternate hill and dale ; in some parts lofty downs, but the soil rich ; in others moderately undulated, and generally lightly timbered ; and it is unquestion. ably a mast picturesque and beautiful country. I deny, therefore. the claim to superiority for the climate of New Conch Wales ; and I am prepared to say, that for the general purposes of man, our climate has the advantage. " The important benefits arising to New South Wales from the country beyond the mountains, I freely admit ; it is the heat part of the colony, and is stated by those who have seen it to be in fea ture, soil, and climate, very . similar to the interior and north-side of Van l)ienian's Laud ; %about that country, indeed, I believe the Eastern Colony wou ld not have supported its stock. Corn. mencing at a distance of 150 miles froau the seat of Government, and from navigation, New South Wales has an unlimited back country open to her. The limits of our island are fixed, but large tracts, not half that distance front a port, are untouched, and new ones are continually discovered • and we have a large space, or rt. thee corner of the Island, to the north-west, which I hope will be! betterknown next summer ; it is already sulliciently so, to assure us of its importance. We are not likely to feel any pressure until the efforts now in progress to improve our pastures shall have taken eftcct, without which no inclosure.system, upon which selection, separation, and improvement of stock so touch depend, can be pursued. To inclose the native pasture would be ridiculous, and without domestic pasture dairies to any extent are out of the ques. thin. I deny that stock require to be winter foddertsl in this cowl. try, more than in New South Wales ; they must in either country have unl . 'tad range, with mixture of hill and bottom land, it they are to subsist on the native pastures throughout the year ; if in in. closures, the same pastures that would suffice in the one country, would answer as well in the other. _ _ " Having thus explained to the Meeting my views on the agri cultural comparison cf these countncs, I may perhaps be excused, if to correct error, I billow the President of the New South Wales Agricultural Society into other topics of comparison. It is said that we are twenty rears behind New South Wales in civilization ; that Colony was :minded 35 years ago : this dates to 20 years. To the Mettler for ito years was directed all the capital—all the labour—all the advantages of every kind, which onanat,tl front the 3luther Country, or ..hick depended on the Colonial Govern ment. Till eight years ago, this was a cline pun ; no vessel could enter, nor could any thing be imported but sin Poet Jack son, from whence we received her refuse treble-convicted felons, out of which bands of robbers were formed, which for years deso lated this colony. New South \Vales than monopolizing every advantage, even to the monopoly of supplying its depressed des pendency ; the latter might well remain stationary as to improve ment. Hut better day, arrived, just prior to the emigration commencing, this colony began to obtain relief; its subsequent progress has shewn its capability. It might be enough, however, for us at present to chew, that we arc at least upon a par in civilization, with the detached countries of New South Wales, viz. beyond the nmuntair,s and Hunter's River, to which emigrants are recommended, in prefer. encc to Van Dieman's hand ; for in the old colony all the land is granted away. But, confessing our original deficiencies, and as sii,ting their causes, we now only require time for the respectable emigration, which pours in upon us, to establish itself ; it is fast doing so, and unless we suppose the civiliza,ion—the habits of industry—and the valuable qualities belonging to Father Land, to have been lost on the voyage, we cannot doubt of their effects ; and that, in two or three years, we shall make up for the differ ences between 20 and 33 years, or I might bette• say, between tire and 35 years • for we can hardly allow ourselves :0 be more than five years , NSACTION.
