" On Jane Pa, 1816, I planted three grains of common rid wheat, in what might be railed good, but sot rich ground, sE Millbrook. in Feclestow, La•easkire. They sprained well, alidl produced 'event side shoots, which I had tatesided to divide and transplant early in August; bat being from home, the transplanting was delayed till the 118th of the mooth. 1 Shea lookop the three paint, and divided the shoots, which arotented to 150, but in transplanting, rotted I had room for only IN plants without going to a different soil, These 116 plows might he consist. red the produce of two sod a half grains of wheat. " A few of the slips died; the rest were healthy, and each pat forth several side shouts. Owing to the excessive wet nows and backwardness of the season. I did out transplant these as soon as I could hove widiell; but, " Oa October 18114 I took up all the survivors of the 126 plants, subdivided and reptinted them In a more op.o place, Toted that the produce was 6SB perfect wheat plants. I shrew aside what might be called tho prodoce of half a grain, sad ascertained that at this second subdivision and tranoplanting, two pains of wheat had yielded 974 distinct plant., or 267 plaids room one grain! I then committed the whole to the care of Divine Providence till the next spring, totendiug to subdivide and transplant the produce of those 1.74 pleats twice in that season, should it be propitious. " Monday and Tuesday, March 24th anti 26th, 1817, I took up the shove plants, which had, in general, steed the winter very well; a few plants wily having died, and a few teem killed with the frost, which had been pretty keen for 'meal moraine ie the preceding week., " As they bad, in the coarse of the preceding October (the time of the last transplaotiag), mid is the beginning of this spring, pat forth several side shouts; I again di vided them, and fussed that one of the grates, that is, 2 87 plants, ha d multiplied itself into 900 plants and the second groin into 916! These I planted in rows in a Geld, along. side of other wheat, sown in the common way; setting the plants four Inch's asunder, and about ten melte" bets/tea the rows. I mice more committed these two groins, in their produce, to the care of that astonishing Providence which had multiplied one into nine hundred; and intended to sub. divide ouce more. should the spring prove forward and fa vottrable.

The reports made from the criminal courts nre equally deficient in pitnng these particulars, by which the means of forming a comparat►ve judg ment of the character and conduct of the different descriptions of convicts transported to the colony is altogether lost. It was the general opinion in New South Wales, that although the state of crime in the convict and general population had neither exceeded the propor tionate augmentation that had taken piece in it, or had been marked with such characters of atrocity and desperation as had distinguished the earlier periods of the colony, yet that the labouring classes of the convicts were not under such goad control us for merly, and that although they were better fed. yet that their labour was not so severe. These circumstances we►e mole particularly ob served by the older inhabitants of the colony. both by the class that had suffered, and by those that bad profited by them. The character of the population, at those period., had also much influence upon the state or discipline. The only distinctions that then prevailed in the cond•t►on of the inhabitants, con sisted of that of free persons and convicts; and in the former (consisting of civil or military, or, as it frequently happened, ■ compound of both) the convicts saw only • combination of physical and moral strength, slid a monopolizing enjoyment of civil benefits, that inspired them with fear and with obedience; all external marks of de ference and respect that the free people could devise were demanded and enforced from those of the convict classes. They are still required to be paid to civil and military officers, but not to per sons who have not that rank. The feelings of the individuals who took • lead. ing part in the government that immediately preceded that of Governor Macquarrie, and who had co-operated in the violent suspension sod expulsion of Governor Bligh, strongly partook of the spirit by which the superiority of the free population over the convicts had been maintained : ity of dis cipline in the labouring class of convicts, and a dis tant and haughty demeanour towards those who had lately emerged frelli that ChM, were the characters by which their short administration was marked. Since that period an intermediate class has arisen and become nume►ous, consisting either of the lower cl a f settlers who came free, and who do not partake the same sentiments, and of persons whose sentences of Irauspo►tation have expired, or who have received emancipatious and pardons. To many of these persons convict servants have been assigned, without a sufficient attention to the su periority that it is so essential to preserve in the re lation of master and servant, many of them being mere tenants, although they are described in the returns as landholder., and some of them only hold ing tickets of leave. lit thin description of per sona it iv. that Air. Cox, • gentleman much dis tinguished for experience and sagacity, boa observed • want of authority over their convict se le, and au unwillingness to appear against them, arising from sympathy with a condition that was once their own, that tends to relax the seventy of discipline, and to defeat the efforts of the magistrates to main lain it. As the population of New South Wales has, un til lately, been vittually limited to the occepotion of a small tract of land that lies between the Blue Mountains and the sea, and nearly encircled by the river Nepean, and as few temptations to plunder existed in the tracts contiguous to these bosiodaties, excepting those that were afforded by the wild cattle in the cow-pastures, the offence of bush-rang ing, or continued ■bsence in the woods, has not of Iste been common. Instances have occurred of the departure of convicts for the purpose of tra versing the country with a view to escape; of the escape of some from Newcastle, sent thither for punishment, and their wandering and temporary existence in the vicinity of Windsor; and latterly. a few instances of escape from the road parties to the districts of Liverpool and Bathurst ; but there has been no systematic, continued, or combined effort of desperate convicts to defy the attempts of the local government of New South Wales, or to subsist by plunder, such's' have existed until a very late period in Van Dieman's Lend. The supply of animal food, moreover, in the district of Cumberland, had continued to be sbundant until the month of October of the year 1819; and the offences of cattle and sheep-stealing had not then been common, with the exception of the attempts before alluded to, against the herds of wild cattle in the cow pastures. Foont the want of menus, that has before been ad verted to, for making individual refrrence to the names of convicts in the books of the Governor's Secretary, as well us in those of the tirinci l ial super intendent of convicts at Sydney, I found it im possible to ascertain what degree of iufloeoce the dif ferent condition of the convicts transported to New South Wales might have had upon their conduct there, or the greater propensity of one class than of the others to commit offences. I could only, therefore, resort to the opinions of the best-informtd of the inhabitants respecting it. I found that this was a ►rthject upon which very few of them hail ever bestowed any consideration; for the selection of the convicts on their arrival, by the settlers, as well as that which is made by the Magistrates, pro ceeds altogether upon their capacity for labour, and not upon ally retrospect of their former lives or characters, or the length of their sentence.; and upon the same principle the dismissal of a convict, either for crime or neglect, by one master, forms no objection to his admission into the service of another. The general opinion appeared to be, that the period of seven years, reduced as it frequently is by service on board the hulks and the voyage, was too short for the purposes of punishment to the labouring classes of the convicts; that it led them to indulge prematurely the desire of assuming the condition of settlers, and relaxed these feelings of habitual caution and obedience, and that respect ful demeanour, for which those who had arrived in the early periods of the colony, and had endured its rigorous discipline, were and are yet distinguished. The shortness of this term of seven years, being still further abridged by the expectatiuus of remit. I elan or pillasluttenf, tbat have assum e d mort the character Of claiasi thin of rewards, since the pro. mulgotion bf Goveroor Mack'Gerrie% order* of the par leo. inspire& the tbrivict transported to New South Witte', for that term, *ith • s t ronger w i sh to return to Englaod, than to remain in the colony. This feeling is also shore prevalent amongst the convicts whose criminal habits are confirmed, and whose only view in returning to England to that of indulging theiti, than amongst those who have been the vietims rif a single error, or of casual but strong temptation. to this WI descrip. tion of convicts the transportation to New South %Vales, even for seven years, holds out an oppor tunity of retrieving that error, which it will he rare. ly their lot to bad at home ; and it affords a Artier from reproach, from which, I have heard rosily of them declare, they *ere most anxious to be i c , leveed, and which they were determined never sow to encounter. With such feeling., men transport e d for short terms may be made good servants, and may afterwards become good settlers. To this class of convicts, which, in respect to the term of see. tense, is • numerous one, it must be admitted that the prospect afforded by transportation to Neo South Wales is more one of easigra , ion than of punishment. Iti the convicts transported for four teen years, and for life, there is a natural disposition to remain is the colony; and if their previous state of discipline in it were prolonged, or rendered more severe, and, above all, if it were adapted to their future state of existence in the colony, it might hare the effect of creating industrious habit., accunip o . nied with a hope of ultimate reward, that is yet consistent with a long state of servitude and bond. age. This hope, however, should be directed to the colony, and not to Great Britain; and all tfe circumstances that tend to revive or to cherish dart hope, must be carefully kept out of view.

SINGULAR REQURST OP A CONDILIINED CULPRIT. -ma.- At the Glasgow Assizes, yesterday . se'nnight, James Campbell was indicted for entering a dwel ling house, by means of false keys, on the 14th July last, and stealing 851. in bank note.. The evidence for the prosecution and the defence having been gone through, the Jory, by plurality of voices, lova the Prisoner guilty of the came libelled. The Learned Judge (Lord Pitesilly) said, that as there were a majority awd minority in this case, he thought it proper to aisle, that hod he been out ihe Jury he should have agreed with the former. Lord Pitrisiq then admonished the Panel, in jayvee. sive language, to prepare for the awful and inevit able fate that awaited him, and concluded by senteneing him to be hanged on Wedeesday, the 1311 October next. Campbell then addressed the Heidi as follows : "My Lord, as ibis is the last lime that you am' 1 will meet together on this earth, I have two requests to 'nab?, which I hope your Lordship will grant me. The (lent in, that my name shall not be cried thorough the public street its those puny papers, se is usually done with persons 4 my situatiorr; sad that on the day of execution 1 shall not be brought into the Court Hall amidst the gime of an iiinorset rabble, by which say devotions may be disturbed, sad my thoughts diacompored. I will ever be' glad to receive the Instructions of any Protestant orrini.t,rs who may desire to visit me, as I was bred up to that persuasion; aid I hope that your Lordship elk indulge me is my wishes, mid, that though we bare been enemies here to-day, we will meet to gether as friends is Heaven." This was said in a very firm audible voice. Lord Pilmilly said he world do every thing is his power for him; but it lay not with him to grant his requests. He had no doubt, however, if be would apply to the Magistrate, of Glasgow. who, while they acted was firmness, were at the same time merciful, they 'would do. every thing possible fur a percet' to his ...happy situation. Campbell then said, " I have your good will, my Lord," and left the bar, saying, " Death was sweeter than eon finrenent ; cowards doe many times, but I shall ouly die once." t s • .
