She will take out about 100, above CO of whom go from Newgate. Fifty were sent from that prison on Friday and Saturday ; they appeared in general young and decently dressed women, and most of them went off in good spirits. Considering the great disproportion that exists between the numbers of the two sexes in New South Wales, which is said to be ten males to one female, perhaps a more desirable consignment could not be made to the colony than a cargo of women ; Govern ment seems to be aware of this fact, as scarcely any female convicts arc now sent to the Penitentiary at Milbank. In the above-men tioned ship there are also between 30 and 40 females who are going out as free settlers.

The Lord Blayney arrived this day with th e fi rst mail, or *hat they call a ship letter-bag. which will be made up at this office for every steam-veassl of that (St. George) establishment, notice to he given 14 our post-office a day or two before the timed sailing. llse charge of a single letter by this letter-bag is only one-half the regular postage. The Lord Blayney left Cork at eight o'clock on Saturday evening, and arrived here about twelve at noon. Mr. Lee, the gentleman who lost the pocket-book eon taing the Exchequer bills, has arrived here, and will attend the re-examination of the prisoners to-day, at the Town hall. Letters From Mexico, of the 7th September, received here, mention the prevalence of a sort of scarlet fever, which caused deaths to the amount of two hundred a day, chiefly among the young people; which, in a population of IRO,OOO souls, is considerable. A letter from Mexico, of Roth September, observes, the there is not any relaxation of the duties on tritish goods, and that there appeared rather a disposition to favour the French. THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. Captain F. Arthur, of the ship Swift (reported under' maritime head), informs us, that on his return from the coast of Japan he touched at Atooi, one of the Sandwich Islands, about the 20th June, and left there on the 46th) a short time prior to which former date, the British f r i gate commanded by Lo r d B yron , despatched for the purpose of conveying from England the remains of l{hio Rhioi had arrived at Oahu. The corpse was landed at that island, and immediately deposited in the house of Billy Pitt, Prime Minister, which house was thereupon strictly tabuoV. After having duly lain in state, the funerii was solemnized in the European st-yle—a lottg and splendid procession was formed, consisting of Europeans, Americans, and natives, who attended the body to the place of sepulture. For the first time the natives were prohibited by their chiefs from exhibiting the customary evidences of grief on such occasions. Of this regulation the natives complained sadly—saying. that if they were not to be perfilitted to " cry," of uttet audible hamenta lions, their late King might as well have been buried he England. Many European customs had also been intro duced through the influence of Lord Byron, and those chiefs who had virited England. Among the new laws way one allowing to every native the privilege of procuring a market for the produce of his own labour, without first being compelled, as formerly, to bring his commodities to the chiefs. The utmost tranquillity prevailed at the islands. George Tamoree, the late disturber, was going at large, perfectly harmless ; though the chiefs cherish a determination to destroy him, as soon as the protection of Billy Pitt shall be withdrawn. The young Prince Regent is very much beloved.—Nantucket inquirer. The ROCKY MOUNTAINS in NORTII AMERICA St. Lours (Missouni) Oct. 8. Our fellow-citizen, General Ashley, has just returned from his adventurous enterprize to the Rocky Mountains, bringing with him one of the richest cargoes of fur that ever arrived at St. Louis. He spent the whole of the past winter in the bosom of the mountains, and made excursions in the spring down several of the river which take their course to the Pacific Ocean. The furs obtained by him were brought on horses to the waters of the Big Horn, where they were embarked about the middle of August, and after a voyage of three thousand miles, ar rived at St. Louis on the 4th inst. It is thus, by an effort of heroical enterprise, General Ashley has indemnified him self for all the losses occasioned by the murderous attack of the Arikaras, in the summer of the year 1823. In the course of his expedition General Ashley fell in with a party in the service of the fiudeon Bay Company, who ere be lieved to have 1000 men in their employment west of the Rocky Mountains. The riches which the Company are carrying out of the territory of the United States are im mense, and beyond all calculation. The single party met with had taken beaver to the amount of 200,000 dollars.— New York Paper. MARKETS. (From the London Nem Prkc Current.] Tumult', Nov. .

The Sugar market has been further depressed this morning, by the de. liveries from the SVest India warehouses; the delivery is nearly 1,000 casks short of the quantity delivered in the corresponding week last year : the stock, compared with last year, is only about 6,000 casks deficient ' • the consequence ha s bee n a great stagnat i on in the trade, and th e few sales made te-day at a further reduction of Is. • brown Demerara sold at 638.. coloury Ws. ; Jamaica brown quoted 645.
