It is worth while remarking tidbits how comparatively short a pe. riled umbrellas have become common. We remember hearing an old friend state, that having purchased an umbrella ow his first visit to London, wises a young man, it was so great a rarity in this part of the country, that, whenever he used it, the buys were arcostome.l to follow him in the street. This article, however, now forms a branch of the manufactures of this town, of no inconsiderable magnitude. Great quantities are made here for exportation, as well as for the home trade ; for, we understand, it appears by the quantity of whalebone taken by the trade here, that there are more umbrellas made in klaochestrr than in all the kingdom besides ; the trade, is its working branches, giving employment to upwards of 2,000 hand., a considera ble proportion of them being females, who do the work at home ; and such is the effect of ingenuity and competition in reducing She priers of our mansfaelisre", that we are assured many hundred doses" of umbrellas have lately been fold as low as ?Is. per dozes.

The petty constables receive sit allowance of a ra tion and is half for themselves, mid sometimes for their families, and double snits of slops, but lOU pay. The district constables in the country were, until the month of April, 1820, appointed by the magistrates of the rliff.-rent districts ; but they are now recommended to the Governor, and he ap points them ; they are generally selected from the class of settlers who had become free by service or pardon, and at Sydney a few of them had 'been formerly soldiers of the 102 d and 73d regiments. The duties of the district constables consist of re porting and giving information to the chid constable and magistrates of all occurrences in their districts, ■ud attending the bench of magistrates will► prisoners for extuninsiimi, and taking the musters on Sundays. Time petty constables in the towns act as watchmen at night, and call the hour as they go their rounds ; and in the day-time are required to be in readiness to convey letters or orders : this duty has of late very much increased, and hiss Ih►ru allowed to interfere ton much with the perforinence of others, of a more local and important kind. From the inconsiderable allowances that the petty constables receive, a great difficulty has bees, found in prevailing upon men of good charucter to accept the situation. Many of them hold tickets of leave, sod some are convicts, selected on ac count of their character, to all of these selections numerous disappointment occur, for constables have been frequently di-missed, either for drunkenness or inattention to their duty, ■ud unwillingness to pelting) it, though not for positive connivance in crime. On the 20th May. 1820, the names sod districts of the constable. of every description in the colony of New South Wales, were published by order of the Governor, in the Sydow, Gazelle ; sad it 9 1 0 - peered flirt at Sydney there was one chief constable, six district constables, with 95 assigned to them, 13 town constables, right to the gaol, three as. signed to the Judge Advocate. and one as an office keeper, and one to Mr. J. Field ; one comitable was also assigned to the establishment at Gro s e Farm, and one for the protection of the lumber yard ■t Sydney. It has silvery& been customary to assign constables for the nightly protection of the government-house. and residences at Sydney, Pitmans, and Windsor ; and also to certain of the civil officers at Sydney.. A constable was itt. tithed to my own residence in the town of Sydney. although it had also the protection of ■ military sentinel towards the street ; but it wits not comtidered safe, unless it was protected on both sides. At the liter periods of my residence at Sydney, a constable was appointed to act as • messenger, whom I was under the necessity of disiniseiog. for gram neglect and intoxication. in the performance of ■ duty of some importance, with which he had been specially charged. The assignment of three calabsh's to the Judge Advocate, and one as an office-keeper. which wa. only made at a late period, appears to exceed that of any other civil °Meer on the establishment, and may admit or reduction to two. But lam not aware that the number of the constables in the whole establishment at Sydney can be reduced, until their efficiency in point of character is increased. The estsblialuneut it Pantsuits consisted of one chief constable and 17 town constables ; that et Windsor, of one chief constable and IS town con stables ; and that of Liverpool, of one chief con►ta ble and three town constables. In the districts of New South Wales. there were 41 district constables, who were also pound-keepers. Three petty constables in the district of A i rds, and three in thereof Bringelly and Cooke. These are necessarily attached to the service of the different Magistrates. Previous to my departure I did not fail to call Governor Mac qvarrie's attention to the obvioue expediency of paying ill the constable with more regularity thin had hitherto been observed; and he promised to at tend to that suggestion s The meaner of thstnbuting the convicts in Van Dietnntr's Lend to the settlers, end the numbers so distributed, hive already been observed. Until the end of the year 1819 they continued to be in demand both at Port Dalrymple and Hobart Town. The regulations respecting their labour and their food, payment of wages and clothing, are the same as those that prevail its New South Wales; but the convicts generally partook more largely of animal food in Van Diernair's Land, and received larger and more frequent ra tions of mutton, and less of pork. Their clothing. on the other hand, was neither so good in kind, nor had been so regularly supplied ; and the prices were considerably higher than those at Sydney. The cost of a sinner and summer suit of clothing for a convict is estimated at 61 7s. 7d.; his stile. 'Potence at 111. 25. ; and these, with his wages, of 71. make an annual charge of 241,95. 7d. to a set tler for every convict assigned to lino. The estimate is framed upon the regulated ration. consisting of seven pounds of fresh meat, and right pounds of wheat per week ; but as this quantity is generally incrwased by the settlers to ten ;annls of meat and one peek of wheat per week, the coat of maintenance is mud to IV. 17s. 6tl. per man, mak ing, with his wages and clothing, an annual charge of 311.55. I observed that a rest many of the convicts in Van Memo'. Land wore jAckeis ■ud trousers of the kangaroo kin. and sometimes caps of the same material, which they obtain from the stock-keepers Mho life employed in the interior of the country. The labotar of several of them differ., in this sespect. from that of the convicts in New South Wales. and is hither pastoral than ogricultstal ; perwissi,m having been given, for the last five vests to the settlers to avail themselves of the ranges of open plains and wallies that lie on either side of the road leading from Austin's Ferry to Launceston. a ths. mice of 140 miles, their flocks and herds have been committed to the care of convict shepherd. mid stock-keepers, who are sent to these cattle range., diatom sometimes 90 or 40 miles from their me tres estates. The boundaries of these tracts are described in the tickets of occupation by which, they are livid, _i . ina nliCh sr* made 'renewable every year,ln 'Pty. anent .f a fee to the Lieutenant-Governor's clerk. One or mo►e convicts are itarioned on them, to at. tend to the flocks and cattle, and are supplied with *hest, Sr., mid anger, at the Monthly trails Or the owner. They are allowed the use of a musket NMI a few cartridges to deftrill thentielvei tigsinst the natives ; and they have also dogs, with which they leant the kangaroos, whose flesh they Mr, mid dis pose of their "kin. to persons passing from Hoblrt Toter to Lanticeston, fu exchange rot tea sod sugar. They thus obtain • plentiful supply of feed; nod sometimes succeed in cultivating a few ergs tables. Their habitations are mode of turf and thatched, at the balk of the dwarf eucalypti'', o p gum tree of the plains, and the interior, in Van Diernsn's Land, is udt of sufficient expanse to ferns covering or shelter. The regulations that have been adopted fo, tha control of the convicts in Van Dieduiii's Laud, a, stated at length in the evide.ice of Mt. Hamphr.•i:, the police magistrate at Hobart Town, to whom much credit is doe for the diligence and correctnesi with which he has carried into effect the several or ders of Lieutenant-Governor Sarre-11. Upon his as sumption of the cormsaud in Van Diru►sn'a Lind, on the gth of April I b 17, be (aloud both the settle sweats at Hobart Town, and at Port Dalrymple, as well as all the intermediate and neighbouring dis tricts of the island, in a state of alarming subjection to the parties of bush-rangers, who had for three years preceding bid defiance to all efforts of she local government to subdue them. Mr. Humphreys has traced their origin to the necessities of the settlement, mid the scarcity of lood with which it had to contend, at its lint esta blishment under Lieut-Col. Calh•.. The convicts assigned to the military officers, according to the custom and necessities of that day, were obliged to furnish to their master, and to procure for them selves • certain quantity of kangaroo fle-h; and having first gone into the woods for these temporary supplies of food, they graclutlly acquired a know ledge of the country, and of the means of support ing themselves in it. To this at length they wery driver' ; and the predatory habits of these men, who hare since remitted the common amid.- tiou of busli.rangers, have continued from tar year 1805, with more or less of violruce and rapacity, until the mouth of October in t h e year 1818. The relaxed state of discipline in which the convicts were kept under the commands of Major Murray. Colonel Geils, end Lieutenant- Colonel Davey ; the little co-operation ■ud con. fidence that these officers were enabled to inspire in the settlers ; the waist of a criminal court to try offenders; and lastly, the effects of • measure re. sorted to by Governor Macqu•rrie, have all had as influence its giving permanence to the destructive successes of the bush-rangers. All tho nature and effects of this measure of Go. veruor Macquarrie have been much relied upon by Lieuternint-Colonel Davey, in certain represent*. lions that he laid before ote, and which he inform ed me had been transmitted through the Earl of Herrrowby to your Lordship, and as I found se veral well-informed persons in Yon Dietuan's Laud had imputed to the same measure the prel•nged contiousnce of the mischief that it intended to sup. press, I think it necessary to nuke sore mention of it. The excesses of the bush.rangers in the neigh hourhood of Port Dalrymple, and likewise near Ho bart Town, had @named their utmost height, sad most sanguinary chancier, at the bitter end of the year 1813. They had been joined by two persons who had held subordinate stations in the coosissa. net deportment, named Peter Mills sod George Williams; and continued a system of violent de predation upon the houses and property of indivi duals of every description. So great was the int , - mnialion produced by their combined efforts, that the initalleasses of sevend districts abandoned their dwellings and removed for safety to the towns. Colonel Davey had issued a proelanntion offering rewards for the apprehension of a party of nine, whose depradations had been marked with great atrocity and cruelty; and a further reward to soy person who should give information of the as sistance that it was well known they received.
