LYDSTBR, ARIL cailusßss, SEPT. 11. This morning a most uuessuipled scene of dis. tress took place on our coast. The early part of last night being uncommonly cairn and serene, almost all the herring boats from the Ord to Wick Put to sea. Alt.! how many of them never to re turn again. About midnight, the wind veering to thesouth. blew a tremendous gale; during the re. insining part of the night, the most intense anxiety prevailed amongst the relatives ■od friends of the poor fishermen, nor did the appearance of the snorting tend to diminish the general distress: hardly any of the boats had been able to find shelter during the night, and but few of them, even so late as Seven this morning, had succeeded in gaining the harbour of Wick, or any of the creeks to the south of it. Son') after this hour, the writer of this intelligence reached the small fishing station of folligo, in time to witness a most distressing scene : • boat from Forst, with four men on board, swamped within two hundred yards of the mouth of this creek, situated nearly three miles to the -north of Civilness ; and he is sorry to say, that •notwithstanding the most earnest entreaties he could use to induce the fishermen of that place to put off From the shore to the assistance of their fullow creatu►es, not one of them had the courage to stretch out a saving hand to these unhappy men, perishing before their eyes. Of the great probabi lity of suecess in this enterprise the writer enter tains not the slightest doubt, as a host, with only two oars, had very nearly succeeded in rescuing the unfortunate sufferers. For nearly an hour, or at any rate, for some considerable length of time, he watched the boat slowly sod gradually drifting co the point, the men sitting up to their waists in water, without oars, and their sails down; having • sppareutly abandoned all hope of saving themselves, but, as it were, alternately looking towards the shore for assistsuce, and to the two•oared bort, 'which, by the manly exertions of the crew, seemed almost within their despairing grasp. In a moment, however, the sinking boat was dashed on the face of the rock, and the unfortunate wretches were for so instant Pen faintly struggling for their lives in the waves, within 20 yards of numerous seafaring men, looking on with the coldest apathy and laid... ference% A boat from Clyth perished near Ulbstet, with 'all on board, including a father and two sons. At 'this moment (four o'clock) the widd blows most tre mendously from the S.W., and some boats have been seen out ut sea holding on by their nets, which it is to be feared may be overwhelmed by the con. sionance sod increasing severity of the gale. We Would now only throw it out, as a suggestion to the Chvernment of this great maritime country, whe ther it may not be worth their while, as a matter of State policy, if cot of common humanity, to expend • some few thousand pounds in forming safe bar ' bows, for the sake of affordmg protection to that most deserving and industrious portion of the com munity, the fishermen, who are obliged, in the daily and nightly exercise of their profession, to ex pose themselves, in all seasons and in e*weathers, along this most dangerous and rugged coast. It is well known that tnany •of the inlets• now used as • fishing stations are capable of being converted into safe *oil commodious harbours, at a comparatively trifling expense. • Paint or PORTER.—We copy the following peregreph, in the hope that the London brewers • will be induced to iiniteie their Dubin] brethren : " The porter brewers of Dublin have at length Melded to the general demand for a reduction in • tie price of that article.

WALE& LETRACT FROK THE REPORT 01/ TUE COMMIS SIONER OF INQUIRY INTO THE STATE OF THE COLONY OF NEW SOUTH WALES. (('optilandfrola our Paper of yesterday.) The most numerous offences of convicts commit ted at Parsmaita, are those of drunkenness, des. obedience of orders, neglect of work, and stealing. At Windsor, and in the adjoining districts, the of fence termed bush-rouging, or absconding in the woods, and living upon plunder, and the robbing of orchards. are the most prevalent ; and at Emu Plains, or the district of Evan, gambling, absence from work, iiiaolettce to overseers, neglect of work, and stealing, are the most numerous offences. The difference before alluded to, between the number of offences brought to the notice of the police in the town of Sydney and neighbourhood in the years 1819 and 1820, is to he attributed to • real increase in its convict population, that was much more con siderable than that which is stated in the ter of the latter year, and also to • greater degree of vigilance and activity in the police of the town, after the appointment of Mr. Miuchin to the superin tendence of it. . _ . was not able to make a comparison of the num ber of convict* and their offences in any years pre ceding 1819, as I found on referring to the muster books, that the number of convicts not victualled in each district, or rather those assigned to settlers, were not distinguished, but that they were included under the general head of " persons not vic tualled," and I was not able to learn their precise numbers from any other source. In the years 1819 and 1820, however, these dis tinctions having been made, it appears that the proportion of crimes to the convict popula , ion, in the town and districts immediately adjoining Syd ney, was that of 1 to 6 ; in Paramatta and the adjoining districts, as of I to 3 ; and at Windsor and the adjoining• distric!s, one in nine: in the year 1840, the offences of the convicts in Sydney were as one to three; in Paramatta as one to two, and in Windsor as one to eight. From this statement (subject always to the in correctness of the numbers of the convict popula tion, as returned in 1820) the evil consequences of employing convicts iti towns may fairly he collected. The punishments of the convicts. inflicted by the Magistrates, consist of confinement to additional labour at periods when other convicts are released, confinement to their barracks, solitary confinement in the cells of the different prisons and barracks, and flogging and removal to the Coal River, or as it is frequently called, Newcastle. A magistrate acting alone, can only order cor poral punishment to be inflicted to the amount of fifty lashes ; and it was also customary to transport convicts to the Coal River under the same autho rity, for such term as his Excellency the Governor should assign. I found on my visit to the Coal River that the commandant had no special instructions on the subject, but that this term was considered to be that of one year, subject to be shortened or extended according to the good behaviour of the party under it ; and had been so considered by his predecessor. I found, however, that the indefinite nature of these sentences produced a feeling of de spondency rather than of encouragement in the minds of the convicts who were suffering under it; and that the circumstances of the crime were not so much considered in the apportionment of this par ticular species of punishment as they ought to have been. I recommended to Governor Mac quarrie, that the Magistrates should be instructed in future to define in these sentences the extent of the several terms of transportation to the Coal River, which was accordingly done; and now the concurrence of two magistrates, at least, is required for inflicting the punishment of tea noportaticni within the colony. The latter restriction has been little observed in Sydney in the year 1820, in conse quence of the insufficient attendance of the magis trates there, and the number of prisoners whom it was necessary to punish summarily. I also observe that ispitishments of transportation have been or dered by Mr. Cox and Captain Brabyn, when act ing alone at Windsor, on several occasions. It is the opinion of most of the magistrates, that the punishment of transportation of the convicts from the settled districts of New South Wales to the Coal River, is felt, and sometimes dreaded by them as a punishment ; and that it succeeds in breaking dangerous and bsd connexions, but that it does not operate in reforming them. It is least effectual in its operation on the female convicts, who, from the difficulty of finding proper places of confinement and employment at the Coal River, and from the disproportion of the numbers of the sears there, obtain the means of enriching them selves by the connexions that they form. The particular employment and management of the convicts of the, Coal River will form a separate branch of observation ; at present I will remark, that considerable inconvenience arises in the ma nagement of that establishment, from the want of authority in the commandant to detain the prisoners sent to the Coal River, under sentences of the ma gistrates, beyond the period of their original or English sentences; and as sufficient care had not been taken in the office of the Governor's Secretary, to transmit a statement of that fact along with the other particulars, the knowledge of it, as well as the detention of the party under the colonial sentence, was left to depend upon no better authority then his own recollection. Delay has sometimes been experienced in obtaining till" particulars from Sydney; and from the apprliknsion of incurring the consequences of illegal detention, the com mandant has yielded to the importunity of the parties with which lie alive,* was assailed, on the expiration of their original sentences, and has sent them back to Sydney upon the faith of their own statements. I should submit that this is a defect in the state of the colonial punishments which it is material to remedy ; for it is obvious that the effect of these, or any other punishments for time, must be fre quently lost upon the convicts who are transported for short term., and who commit offences in the co lony, punishable by its magistrates, about the time that their original sentences may expire ; and it will be necessary to have recourse to some legislative enactment. by virtue of which the operation of pu nishments inflicted by the Magistrates in New South Wales and Van Diemen 's Land upon persons who were in the condition of convicts at the period of S . . • .. sentence, Mir Continue, not - withstanding the expi ration of their original sentences. The operation of such an enactment would form some security against the misconduct' of convicts under short sentences, which is found to be considerably and disadvantageously affected by their approach toia state of freedom. The corporal punishments inflicted by Mr. Went worth, during the long period its which lie held the office of supetintendent of police, have 'weer ex ceeded the limited number, and have generally rilleo below it. It has been the opii t i 111 l of many persons, that he has shown too much lenity in that respect ; but he felt convinced, froin his expe riente, that solitary confineinetit, and the priva tion of ordinary enjoyments, way a punishment more severely felt by convicts than the infliction of stripes. It hes been also customary to order • greater number than were actually intended to be given, with a view to produce intimidation. and some promise of amendment; and both at Para matta, Windsor, and Sydney, the corporal punish ments, by means of bribes given to the flogger., have never been, of late yeats, inflicted with ity. Those that have taken place at Pars. matte, under the authority of Mr. Marsden and Mr. Hannibal M'Arthur, have already been adverted to; and I think that the degree in which they exceed the punishments of the other Magistrates is to be attributed pertly to the individual feelings that these Magistrates themselves have imbibed from the discipline of the earlier times of the colony; the necessity of endeavouring to overawe the movies, its • place that afforded so much temptation to crime as the town of Paramatta, from the uncon trolled residence of the convict women; and further, to the want of more ample and effectual means of punishment than was afforded either by the cells of the gaol, or the chain gangs. The limitation, also, that was made by Governor Macquarrie's order. iu the year 1814, to the numbers in each chain gang, made it necessary fur them, as well as for other Magistrates, to resort to other modes of punish ment, and to avoid, as much as they could, the consequences of an overcrowded gaol. The chain gangs, if kept under strict control, might be made more effective than they are at present. At Sydney, the convicts condemned to work in them have been employed in loading and un loading the colonial vessels at the dock yard. and in levelling uneven ground; at Paramatta their employment has consisted in performing any heavy work that was going forward, and its cleaning the streets; and at Windsor they have been employed in the same way. Their ration is the same as that of the convicts in the barracks, or in the employ of Government. In the gaol at Sydney, one room and a yard, having • separate access to a back street, is appointed for the chain gang. In this room they dress their ra tions and sleep ; and two convicts of the gang are allowed to attend and assist them in cooking and fetching wood and water, and keeping their room clean. Military gusrd.beds have been placed in it, but they were generally destroyed or mutilated by the men themselves, through waotoa mischief, as well as the flagged floors on which they stolid. Some of the convicts bring bedding with them into the gaol, and they gamble with each other for the use of it, so well as for their rations. The hours of work are the same as those of the other convicts ; and the only difference is, that of working in chains separately. and sometimes together. The chain gangs at Paramatta have likewise • separate room in the gaol there, hut it affords no effectual separa tion from the other convicts ; and it has been of late very much crowded with prisoners. At Wind sor, the accommodation afforded in the new gaol admits of greater separation ; stud a room, in which their food is prepared for them, has been lately added. Both at this town and at Portman' the chain gangs are made to attend church on the Sundays, which is not the case at Sydney. Their dress has latterly consisted of pony-coloured jackets and trousers, to distinguish them from other con victs, and in pursuance of • general order of Go vernor Macquerrie, issued in the year 1814. In the hours of work the chain gangs at Sydney are more separated from the population of the town than those at Paramatta and Windsor; but their assuci•stion in one room io the gaol, with no other control than that of an overseer who lives in the yard, encourages their disposition to gambling and mischief. Quarterly returns of the offences and punish ments ii,flicied by the magistrates, were required to be made to Governor Macquarrie since the year 1814, in pursuance of his order that has been before referred to ; but 1 found that in the Windsor dis trict this practice had latterly nut been observed. The regulAtion itself was highly u se ful ; and if correctly made, and accompanied by a particular description of the several convicts that hail been brougbt before the Magistrates, would, when re duced to an alphabetical list, have furnished to Go vernor Macquarrie the safest guide in the future distribution of tickets of leave ■nd emancipation', and have formed the best check upon the applica tions that are made for them. In the form in which these returns are made at present, no distinction is noted of offences of convicts who are in the service of Government, and of those in the service of settler. ; and none has been made in those of the Appendix, except in the returns from Paramatta, between the 24th January 1818 and the 90 h September 1820 ; neither is any notice taken of the length of their sentences, nor the ships in which they came into the country, ob-ervations which are absolutely neces sary, as points of future reference, to fix the i,letitity of the convict when he becomes en applicant fur indulgence.

LATE ROBBERY OF THE NORIVICII lit4lL. The following particulars respecting the late robbery of the shove mail have been pnblishvd :—Mr. Colchester, a confidential clerk in the service of Messrs.

He was accompanied by three inside passengers, and only left his seat on two *cc*. sioos--the find at lagatestone, where be took a glass of beer; the overload lime •t Colchester; donee the last be held the door in his hand, wills hie back to the other three inside passengers, and ors neither occasion did he lose sight of his valuable treasure more than three or four o k, e l, s .
