There will also be a variety in thicker substances, but, for the extreme heat anticipated on the moors this season, those described will be found a perfect luxury in comparison with others. They will also be found very useful as a Fishing Coat, and other such purposes ; but it is necessary to observe that they can only be had in London, of 11. J. and D.

A meeting of noblemen, Members of Parliament clergymen, physicians, surgeons, and gentlemen distin guished for their services in the advancement of science and philanthropy, was recently held at the mansion of the Earl of Ducie, No. 23, Belgrave-square, for the purpose of taking measures to establish an institution, by means of which the benefit of mesmerism, in the cure of diseases, and the prevention of pain under surgical operations, should be more widely extended to the poorer classes, than they could be by individual exertion. The meeting, " being convinced of the vast benefits derived from mesmerism," came to the following resolutions:— " 1. That a Mesmeric Infirmary shall be established by voluntary contribution, for the cure of diseases, and the prevention of pain in surgical operations. " 2. That this infirmary shall be under the manage ment of a president, vice-presidents, trustees, a treasurer, secretary, and committee." The Right Hon. the Earl of Ducie was elected presi• dent; the Baron de•Goldsmid, Viscount Morpeth, M.P., R. Monckton Milnes, Esq., MT , J. H. Langston, Esq., M.P., the Rev. J. Sanby, jun., and the Rev. T. Robert son, vice-presidents ; Mr. Briggs, treasurer ; and Drs. Ashburner, Buxton, and Elliotson; Surgeons Clarke * , Chandler, Flintoff, J. Hands, D. Hands, F. G. Johnston, and Symes ; the Rev. Dr. Dickson, Major Buckley, Captain James, Messrs. Blyth, Fradelle, Kingdom, and Topham, were appointed as the committee. A sum, amounting to several hundred pounds, was subscribed ; to which the Earl of Ducie, the Baron de Goldsmid, Lord Morpeth, and Mr. Langston con tributed 1001. each ; Mr. T. Lamie Murray, George street, Hanover-square, and Dr. Elliotson, 501. each ; Mr. Kingdom, Westbourne terrace, Hyde Park, 211., with 51. ss. annual subscription. The other donations and subscriptions varied from ten guineas to one. The immediate cause of this infirmary being founded under such high patronage, may perhaps be found in the letter addressed in April last, by the Treasurer of the new charity, Mr. Briggs, to the S3cretary of the Mid dlesex Hospital, and published in the last number of the " Zoist," with a narrative of the cases referred to, and of the subsequent treatment experienced by that benevolent gentleman, at the hands of the , pseudo-magnates of the medical profession, who, in his instance, surpassed their ordinary displays of presuming ignorance and dogmatic insolence. Mr. Briggs having received, as a governor of the Middlesex Hospital, the usual invitation to attend the annual dinner, declined to do so in a courteous, but very earnest letter, in which be referred to particular cases of happy cure effected through mesmeric agency at his expense, and evidently with the knowledge of the anti-mesmeric savans in that hospital, in whose hands the patients so rescued by his zeal and charity had lingered for years in torture and despair, under the severest physicing administered without hope, and amputation executed:(as the event proved) without cause. He recommended that mesmerism, which had effected so much in those cases, should be tried upon some others which he proposed. He was answered that ' " mesmerism was not orthodox." He referred to the many undoubted operations lately performed without pain. (Those performed at Cherbourg, Leicester, Not tingham, and various places in America and the West Indies, are too well authenticated for any reasonable man to doubt.) He referred especially to the cases of Dr. Esdaile, of the East India Government's civil staff, which have occurred, and been presented to the world under such circumstances and with such authority, that Dr. Esdaile, on his departure from Hooghley, left after him a MESMERIC STAFF, paid by the Government. When the engagements with the Sikhs threw 3,000 men on the army surgeons, the civil surgeons were ordered to join the army, and Dr. Esdaile was called away. But he had in the previous eight months performed seventy-three severe operations without pain, and with healing results; such as rarely (if ever) are found to follow similar opera tions performed in a non-mesmeric state. This success was rightly viewed by the authorities of India as too important and encouraging not to be followed up. Life is too valuable in their service to be sported with for the sneers of a fashionable, but unbred and unread "doctor," or the jests of a witty surgeon, who tests the sensibility of a patient by tearing the skin from her hand with his nails. The example of India will shortly be followed up at home. One of Dr. Esdaile's cases was the re moval of a scrotal tumour, weighinc , forty pounds. During the operation the man remained as motionless as a corpse ! Mr. BRIGGS had evinced his good will to the Middle sex Hospital by subscribing to it for many years, and inserting in his will a handsome legacy to it ; but as he could not afford to subscribe to that, and, at the same time, pay for mesmerising the poor, he was compelled to make a choice between the two. It was the conduct of the managers of the public hos pitals on this and similar occasions, which seems to have convinced the founders of the Mesmeric Infirmary, that it was necessary to delay no longer the establishment of , such an institution.

'TIE BOTANISTS.—At the Police Correctionelle in Paris, a few days ago, two young naturalists, of the tender ages of fifty and fifty-two, named Flacon and Rozelcur, made their appearance on a charge of garden robbery. Being questioned as to their being found in a certain locality, Flacon informed the President that they were returning from botanising in the forest of Bondy. The President— " Botanising at three o'clock in the afternoon, in the height of the dog-days! That's not usual. You each had a large sack." Rozeleur—" When one hasn't got a box, one must get something to put the subjects in that one finds." The President—But when your sacks were opened, they were found full of beans, 'peas, and onions." Rozeleur—"All also asparagus, new potatoes, an d carrots. We have demon strated that the potato is free from disease this year, and the carrots we found were in remarkably fine condition." The President—" But all these things are useful productions of the earth, according to the code." Flacon—" At that rate, one must leave off botanising, for everything in nature is useful; besides, what fault was it of ours if the subject of the lecture chanced to be vegetables ?" Rozeleur—" In botany, the lecture is suited to the season. You may ask at the Jardin des Plants, cf M. Pacquet, M. Noisette, or any body you please; they will tell you that it is the season of vegetables. ' In spite of this definition, the unhappy victims of science were sent to prison, to make up a kortus siccus at leisure. ROYAL BOTANIC SOClETY.—Yesterday the annual meeting of this society was held at the gardens, Regent's Park ; Sir George Cockburn in the chair. The report was read, from which it. appeared that the society is in a flourishing state, there hiving been numerous additions to the list of Fellows, and also largo contribu tions to the fund for building the conservatory, and a great increase in the proceeds of exhibitions. During the past year the council have executed works of great extent, and great progress has been made in tha building of the conservatory, an erection positively ne cessary for the purposes contemplated by the society, and specified in the charter, and the early completion of which two years ago would have been looked on as impossible ; the completed part, how ever, is but a fragment of what it will be when completed. The plants already placed there consist chiefly of donations. The sum of 3,0001. was contributed by 247 out of 1,050 Fellows, and the total amount received by the Ourator towards the sum of G,OOO/., whic,h ealVeted /Till D . 6445 e 4.114(1 1 is 0004 Thoyeport was roeeiveit: C 3; 3 - e-- .

N. . zr PRICE SD. VENTILATION OF THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. !< ~ ~ There has just been issued, by order of the House of Commons, a return relative to the ventilation of the new Houses of Parliament, and containing Dr. lleid's reply to the report of the referees appointed to inquire into the warming and ventilating of that buiHing. The fol lowing is an extract from the said reply, containing a summing up, as it were, of the Doctor's arguments upon the subject Having now offered such observations as appear re quisite in respect to the report of the referees, Dr. Reid considers it incumbent on him to present the fol lowing summary. The Select Committee of 1835, appointed to consider the best mode cf warming and ventilating the new Houses of Parliament, and of rendering the same favour able to the transmission' of sound, recommended, in the first place, the experiment made in the House of Com mons, and also specially recommended that some plan for warming and ye:Ai:Wing should be systematically adopted, befors the commencement of the new buildings, stating that provision should be made for it in the first instance by the architect, so as not only to insure its succees, hut to prevent needless expense and incon- venience. Mr. Barry not only commenced the work, but built the vaults of the river front from end to end, under all the libraries and committee rooms, without any plan for ventilation being either considered or adopted ; and although he agreed at the earlier pro ceedings Ns ith Dr. Reid, that the necessary channels and chambers should be provided there, successive alterations in plans he at first agreed to were made at his request (of which the evidence may be seen in the works, as well as in recorded investigations), and these contemplated everything required there. Dr. Reid's attendance in London commenced in May, 1840. State ments and questions by Mr. Barry, in 1845, would lead any one to believe that the appointment was given to him in consequence of undue influence exerted in his favour, and in opposition to Mr. Barry's views. This is not the fact, as is proved by a letter from the Hon. C. Gore, one of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods, A minute inspection of the site of the new Houses, and of the obstacles to the introduction and supply of fresh air, led Dr. Reid to propose a peculiar series of arrangements, in addition to those required for the venti lation of all principal apartments. It was in the option of the architect to enter into these new arrange ments, or to decline them, when each House would have been treated as if no other existed in the building. lie entered into the views proposed ;he stated in a letter that he saw no practical nor other ob stacle to their application. He was then the architect, as now, responsible for the construction of the building. He now objects to plans he was the means of authoris ing, at the very time when ho still records his anxiety that the central tower proposed by Dr. Reid should be retained for architectural purposes. Dr. Reid's plans were presented to the architect in April, 1841, but were not finally adopted till August, 1842. Mr. Barry could have objected to these plans at any time between his first application to Government for Dr. Reid's assistance, and the final decision of the Committee of both Houses in 1842. But though examined repeatedly before Committees of both houses both in 1841, 1842, 1843, and in 1644, when he never said one word either against him personally or against his plans, he tried to impress his witnesses and Mr. Gwilt, the referee in 1845, with the idea that Dr. Reid's services had been thrown upon him without his knowledge and against his consent. In the following year, 1842, great difficulties, which had occurred from the commencement in procuring sa tisfactory information from the architect, led Dr. Reid to address two letters to him, which have been re corded in evidence before a Committee of the House of Commons. In 1844 it was represented by Dr. Reid to the Com mittee of the House of Commons, of which the Earl of Lincoln was Chairman (at that time Chief Commis sioner of Woods and Forests), that the architect was proceeding in opposition to the report of the Committee in 1835, and to his own evidence of a more recent date before the Parliamentary Committees. In the beginning of 1845, Dr. Reid reported to the office of Woods the differences that had occurred with the architect at the temporary committee-rooms ; the progress of the session proved practically the extent to which imperfectly closed drains below (and open gas pipes), and tarry roofs above, destroyed the ventilati He appeals to Sir R. 11. Inglis, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Card well, and other Members of the House of Commons, who are aware of the effect produced by some of these causes, as to their influence on the atmosphere of the com mittee-rooms. In the same year the atmosphere supplied to both Homes was severely affected by circumstances not under Dr. Reid's control, some of which are detailed in a lithographic print referring to tlsis matter. In April of the same year Mr. Barry opened a corres pondence on a point connected with the fire-proofing, founding Isis observations on a reported conversation be tween two gentlemen in his office and 1)r. Reid. The evidence subsequently laid before Mr. Gwilt, proved that Mr. Barry and one of the parties in question had dis cussed, and were perfectly aware, two years previously, of a difficulty of construction which they now for the first time attempted to fix on him. Dr. Reid then recommended that the system of com munication between the architect and himself should be made the subject of inquiry. Since that period, May, 1845, the works have ad vanced without any intermediate party to adjust dif ferences, or to arrange temporarily any plan for the removal of immediate difficulties ; passive and active resistance in every shape and form has interfered with the advantageous application of the plans for warming and ventilating. A document both unjust and most inaccurate was transmitted by the architect to the of fice of Woods, of which Dr. Reid was ignorant, and which must have seriously injured his position. And while inquiries have been conducted in a manner which have deprived him of the opportunity of bringing out the essential features of the case, the course taken has tended to injure the ventillation of both Houses, and to multiply difficulties that ought never to have existed. In addition to those that have arisen from the course adopted by some of the parties, the architect has thought proper to place between himself and Dr. Reid, fifteen months have now elapsed since Mr. Barry and Dr. Reid have had any meeting for any useful or practical pur pose, and the determination of numerous points on warm ing, lighting, and ventilating have been accordingly re tarded or suspended. Thus facilities have not been eiven, on the faith of which, as recorded in the official letters of 1840, Dr. Reid undertook his present engage ment. The works, as well as official documents, prove the endless alterations made by the architect, with which lie has had to contend ; and, in short, the business of the works, for the last eighteen months more especially, have been conducted practically, in a manner hostile to his plans, and destructive of any fair opportunity of satisfactorily adjusting his arrangements. (Signed) D. B. REID. Ventilating-office, House of Commons, July 20, 1846. THE LATE CASE OF MILITARY FLOGGING.—A correspondent of the Northampton Mercury gives the follow ing particulars of the late unfortunate soldier, Frederick White, of the 7th Hussars:—" I knew him when a boy; and we grew up together, and continued friends and companions till his father was compelled to leave his situation as postmaster at Nottingham. After leaving the academy in Toll-street, Not tingham, still conducted by Mr. Roper (where he met with some of the most respectable families of the town, and one who is now an able barrister,) he was apprenticed to Messrs. Barker and Adams, wholesale hosiers. I believe he con tinued with them about two or three years; and about the same time that his parents had to give up all they possessed, the above house either stopped or decreased its hands ; poor White was then out of employ ment, and he tried in vain to obta i n a situation in the town. He stayed however about Nottingham some time, and was supported by his friends who knew him in better times. 1 recollect the night before he left the town ; he was then going to London, where he expected he should find friends who knew his parents, and who, he confidently said, would get him a good berth—a situa tion under Government, or in the East India Company's service. He went, and met with repeated disappoint ments, till he was driven to enlist in the 2d Life Guards. He did not remain long in this regiment. He met with an accident—put his arm or his shoulder out, and was discharged as being unfit for service. After this he was in the London police, and was one of that body which was sent to Birmingham to quell the riots there in 1840. At this town, he tells me in a letter, that he enlisted into the 7th Hussars, being in liquor at the time. I (1 . letters after this from Nottingham, Leeds , and lastly. Bir; mingham, extracts from which I beg to give. * y letters As an apology for not answering one of sooner, he states, " I intended to have writ b te ra ti n t - t a o lno o s u t as soon as I arrived at Birmingham, tdirectlye hospital, afte and to after I ca me heroohta obtain money w was taken or paper ill an,:l there vas out .3; tos out of the question." Is not this au answer with respect to what the adjut•int sai d on the inquest ? His friends had not been written to, nor did they know where to write ; at least so it appears to me. In another part of the same letter, he says, Some day I may have the pleasure of showing you that my wild oats have pro duced a good crop after all.' have not heard from him since February, 1845. Ile was a tall, rather slender • young man ; and I remember when he was about seventeen years of age, he stood nearly six feet high. He was of a kind, affable disposition, gentlemanly in his deport ment, and respected by all who knew him. In conclu sion, Sir, I beg to deny that he was destitute of friends; there are gentlemen now filling high stations in so ciety, in Nottingham, London, and Sussex, who were his friends and companions, and would, like myself, have served li'an to the utmost of their ability, had they but known. Sir, I cannot, as a friend and companion in boyhood and man hood of the deceased, refrain from raising my voice against the brutal use of the lash to any of her Majesty's subjects, more particularly to those brave men who defend our land." [ADVERTISEMENT.] — The following extraordinary case, as connected with HOLLOWAY'S PILLS, cannot be made too public:—George Wright, of High-street, Vauxhall, well known at Hill's Potteries. Vauxhall-walk, where he formerly worked during ten years, but for the last live his health had been so bad that he could do nothing, being greatly emaciated, suffering from a diseased liver, and also the dropsy, besides an affection of the spine. lie was n the hospital at Winchester for five months, and afterwards in Westminster Hospital for three months longer. To sum up, from almost a dying state lie has been restored to such comparative health and vigour, in the short space of five weeks, as to astonish all who know him, and this by Holloway's Pills, which may be had at Pro fes_sor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand; and a AU respect medicine vendoilthroughout the civilised world.

In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully -imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the 111 e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

To give an idea of the great coneeirse of people y yesterday at Scheveningen, we will mart: i6n that 8,000 persons were conveyed thither by 03 . stage-coaches : I and omnibuses, and that the number 4 dt private jartil riages were estimated at 600. To-day is he 18thritt 1 niversary of the birthday of the Princess Wilhelmenia, daughter of his Royal Highness Prince Frederick. The last accounts from the East Indies to the end of April, state that the sickness which had so long pre vailed among the European inhabitants of Amboyna had abated, and though fevers were still prevalent, the number of patients diminished, and deaths were of rare occurrence. In the dominion of the Sultan of Sumanap, in the island of Madure, a violent sickness had attacked 4,000 persons, chiefly inhabitants on the coast, of vshoin 629 were carried off by it. A rapid change for the better had taken place. In the month of March, ten pirate vessels, supposed to belong to one of the Soloe islands, appeared off the island of Kangeaa, east of Madura. The pirates landed and killed or carried off several persons. The chief of the island quickly assembled an armed force, but was unable to fall in with them. Four native.: trading vessels were captured near Go rontalo, in the island of Celebes, by six pirate vessels, supposed to be Tabellorese. It seems that the want of ships to convey the troops, occasioned by the late arrival of the merchantmen ex p2cted from the Netherlanls, was one cause of the delay of the expedition against Bali. ARNFIEDI, AUG. s.—Just as we were going to press, we learn from Cologne that the lower part of the City of Naples had been destroyed by an earthquake (per haps the same that was lately felt on the Rhine and in Belgium), and that 30,000 persons lost their lives. We hop° that this melancholy statement will not be confirmed.—Antheint Courant. The Hawkishlad says, in copying this paragraph, we must add that none of our German correspondents men tion so dreadful a disaster ; that several of the principal houses of Amsterdam, connected with Italy, have heard nothing of it, and that the French telegraph brings no notice of it. AMSTERDAM, Au°. 7.—As we expected, there is n o confirmation of the above statement. Dutch Papers, August 8, 1846. 1 - AGUE, WELLINGTON STATUE. A copy has just been issued, by order of the House of Commons, of the report of the Sub-Committee of the Wellington Military Memorial, enclosed in the letter from his Grace the Duke of Rutland to the Viscount Melbourne, dated 14th July, 1839. This report is curious, as showing the original undertaking with re spect to the proposed position of the statue, which has utterly been the cause of such discussion and difference. The documents have, at various times, since May, 1838, been so frequently before the public, that it will be un necessary to quote at any length from them at the pre sent moment. The following extracts, however, may be here given : The meeting was accordingly held on Monday, the ' 28th of May, and was attended by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and twenty-one other members. " At this meeting it was unanimously resolved, upon the motion of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridze— " That, in the opinion of the Committee, an equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington will be the most suit able mode of carrying the object of the subscribers into effect." It was then resolved, without any dissent or hesitation N't hatsoever, upon the motion of the Marquis of London derry— " 'fbat the summit of the triumphal arch at the entrance into the Green Park, on Constitutional-hill, going out of Piccadilly, would, in the opinion of the Committee, be an appropriate situation on which to place such equestrian statue, provided her Majesty the Queen's permission can be obtained for that purpose." Upon the motion of the Right Hon. Sir George Cock burn, it was unanimously resolved— " That his Grace the Duke of Rutland, as Chairman oF this Committee, be requested to take such measures as he may deem most respectful and advisable for humbly soliciting her Majesty's most gracious permis sion for erection of the statue on the triumphal arch." At that meeting (9th June) his Grace the Duke of Rutland stated that, having submitted to her Majesty and to the Government the proposition of the last meet ing, for the erection of an equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington on the arch at the entrance of the Green Park, he had been honoured with her Majesty's gracious approbation and sanction, and had received, in the , fol lowing letter from Lord Viscount MelbJurne, the con currence of the Government : " Duwning-street, May 30, .1838. "lly dear Duke,—With respect to the wish of the subscribers to the Wellington testimonial, to be allowed to place the statue of his Grace upon the arch at the entrance into the Royal Park, I beg leave to inform your Grace, that after a consultation with Lord Dun cannon and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, I am pre pared to advise her Majesty to accede to the wish of the subscribers, provided it is undertaken that those who are to manage the work will act upon communication and in agreement with the architect, Mr. Decimus Burton, and also will lay before the Lords of the Treasury a plan of what is intended to be done, for their approba tion, before the work is actually commenced. " I have, &c , (Signed) " MELBOURNE. "To his Grace the Duke of Rutland." Upon receiving this report the Committee resolved unanimously, upon the motion of his Grace the Duke of Rutland, " That the dutiful and grateful thanks of the Com mittee be humbly tendered to the Queen, for her Ma jesty's gracious acquiescence in their wishes." LAUNCH OF THE CONFLICT, PROPELLER WAR STEAM-FRIGATE. 11.0.-ERFORDIVEST, SATURDAY. —Yesterday a fine war steamer, built under the superintendence of Sir William Symonds, named the Conflict, was publicly launched from the Royal Decks and at Pembroke, attended with full naval honours. The weather being remarkably fine, an immense concourse of beauty and fashion honoured the dockyard with their presence ; the rush at three o'clock, the time of opening the dock yard gates, was such as would have borne down any opposition that might have been offered. The arrangements of the launch were under the direction of Mr. Thomas Pertioces, the assistant-master shipwright. Miss Williams, the daughter of Captain Williams, of the Royal Engineers, and director of the works in the dockyard, officiated in the ceremony of christening the vessel. From the cards which were distributed among the company it appeared that the principal dimensions of the vessel are as follows : Length over all 209 feet 5 inches " between perpendiculars 185 0 ‘, of keel for tonnage Breadth extreme 34 4 " for tonnage 34 0 id moulded Depth in hold Diameter of propeller l2 0 Burthen in tons Power of engines Armament—Two pivot guns, 56-pounders, ten feet long, 85 cwt. ; and six eight-inch 68 pounders, weighing 65 cwt. At four o'clock, every preparation having been com pleted, the signal was given, when the dog shores were knocked away, and the noble vessel glided o t but he r off into her future element in beautiful style, the dockyard band playing " O ff she goes. " There craftwas i ll . th lar o g h e a num be r rbo . r, h coaf,iyiyaelhadtse,nswteiatmh steamers, spectators, s 9 and happily not the least incidunt occurred to mar the day's proceedings. The Conflict, as soon as she is jury-rigged, will be taken to London, where her machinery is in a forward state of construction. Another large steamer, on the same principle of propulsion, to be named the Encounter, will be launched from an adjacent dock in the course of three or four weeks. DISCOVERIES IN AUSTRALIA. Important advices came to hand from Sydney by one of the mail packets. The latest date is March 31. Mr. Leich hardt, the enterprising traveller, had made some extra ordinary discoveries in the interior of Australia, and under the most trying difficulties, of which it is almost impossible to foresee the consequences. A new region, offering a con stant succession of water, is opened from Gilbert's Lagoon to the Yappar, extending along the east coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria, is described as being highly adapted for pastoral pursuits; but only as regards cattle and horses, the climate not being favourable for sheep. Large plains limited by narrow belts of open forest land—extensive box-flats and tea tree flats openly timbered, changing with a more undulating country—fine grassy meadows along frequent chains of lagoons and shady forest land along the rivers, render the country, it is said, pleasing to the eye of the traveller, and inviting to the squatter, and long stretches of country would be adapted to the cultivation of rice and cotton. Even pa far north as lat. 14 deg. 48 min„ a country openly timbered was discovered, and near the forest land of a black soil and richly grassed. The season in Australia has been the dryest and warmest experienced for six or seven years, and yet Mr. Leichhardt discovered a country unlike that hitherto known, because so well watered. There had been no fall of rain for eight months, consequently the pools, lagoons, brooks, wells, and streams discovered are fairly presumed to be perpetual. Our enterprising traveller had given names to about 12 creeks and 15 rivers. It is considered probable that some of these rivers will be found to flow into the Albert, which empties its waters into the southern extrezr it y of the Gulf of Carpentaria, and which Captain Stokes of the Beagle ascended for the distance of 50 mike, and that some one or more of the others will connect Halifax Bay, on the eastern coast of Australia, with the Gulf of Carpentaria. Mr. Leichhardt, as had been truly observed in the colony, if recent e xperiences justifies the expectations raised, has discovered Australian Paradise" of immense importance to the mother country, and perhaps of still greater to the world. The joyous emotions excited in the colony by these brilliant discoveries were heightened because they so soon followed the gloomy disappointment caused by the disastrous issue of Capt. Sturt's last expedition. Captain Pilfold, of the schooner Frolic had discovered some islands and reefs on his voyage, shortly after leaving Chilcott Island, and as these lie directly in the track of ves sels proceeding through Torres' Straits, their discovery.is considered most fortunate. [he latitude was 16 deg. 23 min. S., and the longitude 149 deg. 15 min. E.
