NEW SOUTH WALES. 1 (From. the dustrotiart.) SYDNEY, Faa. 24.—The dull monotony of Sydney events has been a little broken in upon by a comical inci dent which occurred last week. It is undoubtedly in the recollection of our readers, that tire Ahnorah was chartered by Government, or by the Commissary, in the early part of September last, to make a voyage to Batavia, to fetch a largo of sundries, consisting of rice, of dollars, of sugar, i 'of wheat, anti of tea, to meet and provide against the hor- I 'Tors of an apprehended (by whom we know not) famine. happens, 'tat Batavia is in those limits within Company have and possess the ex ‘-e particularly in the article Company have in some re recent enactments. Still, llow ill enjoyment of this branch of, further happens, Cut although conditions, and with a proper 'tither a general cargo, exclu undred chests, or rather we . quarter r. __... to' tea, were considered as subjecting her to all the pains and penalties of an illicit trader ; so at least were the officers advised, of his Majesty's ship the Slangy, which guards the entrance of Sydney Cove. Ac cordingly, on the day after her arrival, and when it was known where she had been, and what she bad got, a boat's crew, accompanied by the First Lieutenant of Blaney, proceeded on board, clapped a lock on the hatches, sealed up the ship's papers, a tiger and all, and declared the Al morah a lawful prize. Tire bonne bombe, which a certain Hpersonage had anticipated i n hi s Rh en i s h, was not even allowed to quit the hold. Despatches, telegraphic and I post, were immediately set a going between Paramatta and Sidney. The Captain of the man of war declared it to be his duty to seize the ship, on behalf of the East India Cen - pany. The Governor, it is generally rumoured, has disclaimed participation in the greater part of this mercan tile speculation. His Excellency, it is understood, gave his sanction to only so much of the project as extends to a cargo of rice. The Government, therefore, are completely. exonerated from the consequentea; and the conflict, if any there be, will be between the East India Company on one hand, and the charterers on the other. The cargo is very valuable—it has been variously e'stimatcd. The .dollars, 'it has been asserted, amount to twenty-five thousand ' ands; there being, according to many accounts, fifty xea, each containing 2000 dollars. We have heard, in deed, that one hundred thousand dollars are actually en tered in the manifest. The wheat cost at Batavia about twenty shillings a bushel ; and we have been assured that this article will at any time fetch in the Batarian market full twelve shillings a bushel; if this be true, it is welt worthy the attention of the Australian farmer, who may be sure of a remunerating price; and, in this respect, has a wry great encouragement given hitn fur the cultiva tion of his land. Treasury Bills obtained a premium of 17 and 18 per cent., which amply pays for the whole expense of sending for them, including commission, freight, &c., the rate of exchange here averaging between 14 and 11 per cent. The tea was bought tolerably cheap, it having cost only Is . a pound—it is black tea. The rice is supposed to be worth about 13s. per bag. There are some private in-' vestments on board. The Captain had a small venture of dollars. among the number o. joaroal, that rae 'Society of Jesus, who have had their re nown much Hemmed by the recent beatification of the venerable Alphonso Rodriguez, desirous of presenting the HoJy Father with a painfing illustrative of some memo sebte patinae In the life'bf the bb seed, have intrusted the execution of the work to Louis Cochetti.

Oa Monday, at font o'cloci in the afternoon, the usual meting a! the Combers and Weavers in the Union As sociation was held at Fairweather Green. In consequence of the measures adopted by the master manufacturers last Thurstlity. the attendance was unusally numerous, there being not fewer than from eight to ten thousand present.' It vita expected that a number of resolutions would bare' been proposed, explanatory of the steps they meant .to pursue in this new crisis of their affairs ; but as there had not been aufdcient time to receive answers to the circulars which had been sent to different parts of the kingdom, the Committee determined to postpone the proposal of their plan until the following week. Several speeches were made, but no business was done. The principal speakers were John Tester, and some dele ga►es from the neighbouring towns. The master manufacturers of Bradford have had no further meetings since the one we reported last week. We are informed, that on Saturday last, those of the worsted manufacturers in Keighley and its neighbour hood, who had pledged ihernselves to support the Brad ford masters, began to dismiss all their combats and wea se-a belonging to the Union. Our informant adds, that me of the best workmen thus turned off, have been al r..ady engaged by those of the masters who bad not pledged themselves to th; mature of dismissal. On Saturday hst, a meeting of the wcrrated spinners and manufacturers of Ilalifax , was held at the Old Cock Inn there, to consider the circular of the Bradford masters. A number of resolutions were rimed, expressive of their disapprobation of the combinations at present existing, and their determination to dismiss from their employment such men u contribute to the Union.—Leeds Mercury.

In on sma'l house on Lancashire-hill, we are informed, no lei.; than eighteen intlividnals are resident, in a space, which, by the very lowest of our countrymen, would be deemed insufficient for the comfort of a man, his wife, and two children. The manner iu o hich this numerous fa mily are lodged at night, although not very novel, is still cut. ms, and forms a striking contrast to the ideas of com fort which are generally entertained in this country. The inmates of the holm seek for repose in what is termed a rout.tl bed, which is neither more nor leris than the hare where they lie down indiscriminately in a circle, the mitre of which is formed by the feet of the party. Their ideas of cleanliness are also completely at variance with those of their neighbours and the filthy picture which the interior of one of their habitations exhibits is really disirusting.—Stoekport Advertiser.

A CONSLLTATION.—A gentleman remarkable for his penurious habits, and whose ill-health, though somewhat alarming, could nut induce him to send fur a physician, was sitting a few evenings ago at the Chapter Coffee-house, when a inctlical gentleman, of much popular celebrity, came in, and, entering the same box, took his seat oppo site to him. The afflicted economist considered this a good opportunity of getting a prescription without a fee ; and accordingly, after conversin&on the weather and other indi&rent topics, he began to touch upon his own health, and, stating at some length the symptoms of his complain-, concluded with asking him " what, suffering as he did, it would be proper fur him to take ?" To which, knowing his man, he answered very gravely, " I think, Sir, you ought to take advice." A truly splcnaid collection of etuffed birds has been pre settled to the Ashmolean Museum by the Hon. and Rev. Arthur Phillip Percival, Fellow of All Souls' College, Ox ford.

(From the laserstois Mrestick.) 0-- . rutinent to the requisition of Ids Honour the Mayor. a Meeting was held on Wednesday, at the Court-heitfe;', Kingston, the the purpose of raising a lend, by puhlic sub- ! scrip:lee, to be appropriated to the erecting of one or morel new places of worship, wider - the govecunent of the P.i.- 2opal Establishment. At about eleven o'clock; the !I-ton. 1 i Joseph Barnes being called to the chair, the Bishop ed ! dressed the Meeting, which was nnmerous slod highly-ne- spectable. His Lordship spoke at some considerable length.' Ile stated that it had devolved on him, in the ,discharge of the important duties which his Sovereign hod ilrusted to' him, to institute inquiries into the moral and religi,va wants 1 of the people of this extensive and important colony, and to, propose measures of instruction commensurate to their wants. "Those inquiries bad been particularly directed to that part of the population, whose condition had, of late, been an ob ject of especial solicitude to the Executive and the Legislr lure of England. He alluded td the slave population. It wa► with very considerable gratification, said his Eordship, that he was enabled, at so early a period of his ministry, as the Eccles;estical Head of this Diocese, to bear testimony to the circumstance, that, since the abolition of the slave trade, great intellectual changes bad exhibited them selves in the negro slave. Viewing this question in its i political aspect, he considered it one which should call ' forth the attention of all classes of his fallow-citizens. It was entitled to regard, no less from the commercial than from the ecclesiastical orders of the State. With the consciousness of this fact, he maric a confident appeal to their liberality on this occasion—a liberality that was the more demanded from them, inasmuch as the important changes in the social and moral state of tfle negro,were the result of those gradual measures which had, from time to time, been adopted by them, as a conveponiTing disposition evinced itself on the part of the slave popalasion, to render every ustasure piedaetive of its audiripairi e bnefit• If he were required to sfate paettenisel,.`e *ass bit ects the intellectual change to which be all ,, ied had manifested itself—he felt assured that the eggerlenee el every one would yield a roily concurrence in his own conclusions— that it was remarkably demonstrated in the decline, and, he hoped, rapid extinction, of the popular superstitions of Africa. The horrid influence of . that ignorance, whose source diffused its poisonous stream from their Afri can progenitors, was dying naturally ; awl he doubted not, that a)Civ years, aided by increased means of Christian in struction, would produce all those happy result} which had been anticipated by the people of England. He, how ever, felt himself bound to declare pup sly (and to him it was a source of heart-felt pleasure tO make this public acknowledgment of th ose seritimente with which he, bad been received by them on his first antra to take upon him self the functions of his office), that all his inquiries had convinced him that the decrease of crime—that the dimi nution of all the evils arising from a disregard to the obli gations of social life, and they were obligations whose beneficial effects were seen in the rapid advances now made in the civilized society of .fiurope--were to be as ' cribed to those improved systems of management, and to that extended protection, which hewaosure had emanated from their unconstrained reflections on their own interest and their own security. He felt fully assured, by his own short experience in the community, that they would cheer fully redeem the pledges of support which they had given him in their several addresses—that they would concede the propriety of extending their munificence to the claims which he made upon them for .Christian inetniction to the regro--that they would fit hinf' and prepare him for extending those opportunities of utility to himself and them—that they would see that they did not render their own ameliorating conci shims abortive, by withholding themselves from assisting in drawinhe slave into a respect' for religion and a love of good or der; eff,qte which were perceptibly operating on the negro'ajtabito fit his own vo luntary relinquishment of the Sure%y mile, and his own desire to render the Sabbath a day of rest, and of Christian instruction, His Lordship here read a communication from his Ho nour the Mayor of Kingston, relative to the fact of a change in the negro habits being the growth of time and of gradual amelioration; not forced by express legislative enactment, but being the result of an increased religious feeling on the part of the nee roes themselves. The ad vancement of the negro mind from barbarism to civiliza tion, said his Lordship, under 'he benign spirit of Christi lewi•e, lad amp::. testimony home n it by several Minis. ten, wtli known to the s . etr i ceseinet; the names of Mr. Trew, Mr. Stainsby, and others of tne island Clergy, in the report of the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Frreign Parts, (a report which his Lordship bad only recently received from England,) had added weight to the conclusions formed by his own experience. The testimony was so interesting and so apposite to the purposes of the meeting, so calculated to stimulate their zeal, that his Lordship said he should request permission to read an extract to the meeting. He then resumed. Now, said his Lordship, that I have (as Pt necessary part in the exposition of an object in calling this meet ing) touched on the subject of gradual amelioration, I am tempted to make my unequivocal declaration that it is the only means which experience holds out as an effectual re medy for the moral evils in the condition of the slave. All violent measures, or rather measures that have not re ceived a corresponding enlargement of reflection in the mind of the negro, will infallibly defeat the beneficent ob ject of a benevolent spirit. He alluded, he said, to mea sures designed, if he might use the observation, to change him, as it were, per saltum, and net with a due regard to the general unfolding of his moral perceptions. All human experience bears testimony to thie momentous truth. He who would scorn its precepts is an injudicious friend of hu manity. If we advert only to the growth of the human body with whose growth we perceive the intellectual expansion of man to be intimately connected, we see it ar riving at maturity by the gradual and simultaneous exten • sion of all its functions, both mental and corporeal; and , such it was in the social habitude of man—we must teach him habits of utility, we must instruct him in the advan tages which those will bring about before we shall rouse his attention or redouble his exertions to attain them. This must be the work of time. St. l'aul, in illustrating the gradual progress of religion in the soul, represents by a similar figure, the newly admitted Christian as receiving the benefits of the doctrines of the holy faith by differently modified circumstances--the milk first, as moat accordant to the slow development of the economy of animal nature, till we become fitted for the reception of substantial food by the robust action of the system. It is, however, with you, said his Lordship, to accelerate or retard the opera tions of this law of our social as well as animal nature. He then declared his confidence in their liberality and benevo lence, and concluded by assuring them that, feeling that the cause of the laity, from the claims of interest, was the same as that of the clergy—that the propagation of the Gospel was the best meat's of securing the integrity of the colonial empire—aml that Chtfatisoity, by diffusing A conci liatory spirit, was the extending ofhappiness to one and all —he sat down under the conviction that, as auxiliaries, they would, by the resolutions of that day, be found power ful and unwearied, and evince themselves the judicious I friends of the human race.

This is an excellent regulation, and has long been adopted at Bristol. It would also be desirable to give the plates only to Etch as will drive their own carriages ; by these means a more civil race of coachmen would be substituted. We recommend all com plainants to go to the Hackney Coach-office in Essex street, and not to the police-offices, where the Magistrates cannot be expected to know the distances. In Essex-street they do. Ta•werustom or BLOOM—The extraordinary opera tion of taking blood from the veins of one individual, and injecting it into those of another, was lately performed by Dr. Blundell, Lecturer of Midwifery at Guy's Hospital, upon a poor woman aged 23 years. She was to all appear ance, dyirg from loss of blood, after a severe labour, when Dr. Blot dell (seeing the imminent danger of the case) laid bare one of the veins of her left arm, taking care to pre vent the blood flowing from the orifice. The husband of the woman, who war a robust man, was then called in, and two ounces of blood taken from his arm into a glass turn hlzr this blood was then, by means of a syringe, slowly thrown into the vein of the woman, in the direction of the heart, and the same quantity immediately after repeated. In about ten minutes the woman ralli.vl, and gradually recovereffrom the jaws of death. The syringe was of brass,.and well tinned on the inside; to the mouth a pipe was fixed, of about two inches long, and the size of a crow's quill, shape : like a pen at the end, but with a blunt point. All air was ca expelled from the sy tinge when used. «re Sroarixe!—On Tuesday f est two medical students at this town, who were dettirtut of improving in the art of shooting, procured a pigeon, which they tied by the leg, 'allowing it to sport in the air whilst they tired at it.

Turning round, however, I petecited at the extremity of the adjoining basin an opening into the Call-place Dock, which had pre viously been separated from the former by lock-gates, and a surmounting bridge of temporary construction.
