The greatly increasing population, the commerce, the pastoral, and agricultural fiches of the colonies of New South Wales and Vic toria. the great success of the banks already established in Sydney, Melbourne, auil Geelong, together with the extraordinary yield of the gold mines of these colonies, justly warrant the establishment of a New Australian Bank, with branches in such towns as may appear Szpedient. It ti.ts tuerefore been proposed to form a new banking association, to be entitled the Royal Australian Banking and Gold Importing Company, to be incorporated under a Royal Charter. • The capital is proposed to be 320,0001., in 50,1 h 0 shares of 5/. each, On which a deposit of :Z. each shall be paid, and no further call to be .made until the Royal Charter shall have been obtained, and not then, except by a resolution agree) to by a majority at a general meeting of Shareholders, to be called together for that purpose, by three regular advertisements in the " Times," and three other Lon dondon daily newspapers. The object of the proposed Bank is to establish an office in Lon don tor the purpose of regulating and directing the general affairs of the Company, by establishing a Bank at Sydney, with branches at Melbourne, and, if expedient, at Geelong, and other populous towtis. The bank and the branches to carry on the ordinary busi ness of banking by discounting bills on approved' security, issuing notes under the provisions granted by Charter, in proportion to the paid-up capital, advancing money on undoubted security, and also on consignment of gold ore and refined gall to the Company in London; and purchasing cold in the colonies of New South Wales and Victoria, together with the transaction of such other business as tray be safely and legitimately conducted by a Bank ; but not to engage in any mining operations, which the high rate of wages, and the great temptation to fraud, involve su ch imminent risk as • to be considered unsafe and improper for a bank to undertake. To avoid losses by fraud or neglect of duty, the manager, and all per ilous appointed by the Bank, shall give competent security in England for their fidelity and good conduct in those colonies. A great part of the above capital being already subscribed, the Royal Charter will, without delay, be applied for, the preliminaries for which are already prepared, and the Deed of Settlement will be completed when the remaining shares are subscribed, and the de posit of 1/. per share paid to the bankers. The combined advantages of banking and gold purchasing are evi dent. Firstly,—As a bank, an entirely new field is created by the im mense influx of population, which is being continuously added to by the daily increasing emigration for the main purpose of raising gold, for which the bank would afford a convenient and secure place of deposit, as well as a market for its disposal, involving a • provrtionate increase of trading operations and banking accommo dation. The shares of the banks already established in Australia are now at high premiums, kia . ,Que.instanee Lthe Union Bank Shares) .per Cent. • • • • • • - • SC:indli,—By the purchase of gold in those colonies by a bank at about 61s. per ounce, with a market value here of about 80s , a profit is.shoWn of nearly 25 per cent. ; and looking at the enormous quantity of the precious metal, this business would appear to be un limit ea, while the recent factities of a regular steam-packet inter , course,,both by the way of the Cape of Good Hope, by way of Egypt, and shortly by way of Panama, will increase the profits o nn the capital by enabling the Company to make frequent importatio of gold during the year. Such are the sound and practical advantages which are submitted by the Directors to the public, and which they will have the greatest satisfaction, both as Directors and Shareholders, of promptly carrying into execution, in the full confidence that this Company will prove one of the most secure ,and profitable invest ments of the day.

The last official accounts state there have been already discovered 1,500 miles of gold region, extending over New South Wales and Victoria, and the quantities of gold exported from those colonies exceeds 2,000,0001. In 1841 the ponulation of New South Wales was 149,669 ; and in 1850, :65,503; thus nearly doubling in the nine years preceding the gold discoveries. Therefore we may reasonably ex pect that it will be quadrupled within the next two years. TO RAILWAY AND STEAM COMPANIES, ENGINEERS, MILLWRIGHTS, AND OTHERS. COQUATRIX'S PATENT LUBRI CATOR.

GOLD !—Extract from an Emigrant's Letter "Coming out here was the most fortunate circumstance whi' could have happened to me. We (the diggers) at Mount Alexander have sent down as much as a ton of fine gold weekly ; but •of all circumstances, the selection of an Outfit is the most fortunate, that being•made at E. MOSES and SON'S, whose thorough and practical acquaintance with the Emigrant's requirements fully qualities them to make up the most complete, portable, and serviceable Outfits at a cost considerably lower than at any other establishment In the world." The superiority of E. MOSES and SON'S Outfits Is evinced in every article; the distinction which has been conferred on every branch of their gizanttc trade is overwhelming, but the vast amount of their Outfitting transactions is still more amazing. To perpetuate their celebrity as Outfitters, they are re,olved that every Emigrant shall have the most perfect attention, a separate de partment being kept in their magnificent Establishment expressly for that purpose—that every article of perfect suitability shall be provided—that the goods shall continue to be of a quality superior to any width can be offered elsewhere—that the most suitable and serviceable clothing shall be provided for all classes of Emigrants during Weir passage and after their arrival—and all their goods shall be offered on the most economical terms, and that their supe riority in every respect shall continue the celebrity which E. MOSES and SON have already gained in all Emigrant Stations. Full Lists of Outfits, and all requisite information may be had, on application. or post free, to any part o f the kingdom. CAUTION.—E.

According to re gular course this mail would only have been dis patched on the 3d inst. It .was sent thus early in consequence of the approach of the monsoon and its accompanying gales. During the ten days which had elapsed since the departure of the last mail no event of importance had occurred. A steamer from Rangoon Was overdu at Calcutta. ‘Ve subjoin the summary of intelligence f rom th e Bombay Times of the 22d of M a y :-- " The three mails of M a y are proverbial for their follow dulness; they not only each other in such rapid e succession, that even in stirring timea the events of a week in India could scarcely form a chapter in history, but they are dispatched at a season of proverbial life lessness and inactivity, when with a vertical sun the • thermometer rarely registered short of three figures, and an impending deluge, a state of semi-somnolent in activity is almost universal. Fr om t h e en d o f April to the beginning of August there is next to nothing to write about save the heat and the rain, next to no disposition to write were topics as abundant as they are scarce. It is no w generally understood that nothing more will be att em p te d in Burmah till after t b e rains; that, contrary to th e original expectation, the whole force will remain i n th e country for the asiost part in all likelihood on bo ar d t h e shipping, and that the war will be resumed with doubled the season vigour the moment permits. Amidst the aPprehensions experi enced of the unhealthiness of the Delta of the IrrawadtlY) and the melancholy recollecti o n s of our former losses from disease, it must be remembe r l. that the. position in which matters now stand isne a yas unlike as pOB. sible to what it was in 1825, and that it by no mean s follows from the mortality which then occurred that our troops in Rangoon should suffer sn ore daring t h e ap proaching rains than they usually do during t h e we t season anywhere in new or in appropriate quarter s. Should it prove oth erw i se , an d pestilence beg i n to threaten us, the fleet which bore th e army to Rangoon could in a few d a ys ca r r y it b e y ond the reach of ma' laria. The demand for the immediate d i spatc h o f ord nance stores and supplies has - bee n s o heavy as to "over-tax the resources of Calcutta, and Ma dras has been applied to. B om b ay will, i t i s said, be called on to provide so me 5,000 men, an d our soldiers are eager for the f ray , if the same de termination of . purpose and en ergy of spirit wh i c h now actuate our councils remaina there is every reason to believe that three months after th e renewal of hostili ties the war will be concluded, and a treaty dictated b y us signed by the Golden-footed Mo narch in his capita l , seceding from the Crown of Burtnah f or ever an amyl® slice of his dominions. The calamit y of the annexation of of the whole peninsula from Chitta gong to Penaug, had we but a just claim and fought in an honest quarre l such as now, seems a much less calamitous and greatly less unhappy accident than it app ears to be considered at home. An increase of five or six m il lions clear t o our revenue—of probably twice as much more to the value of our commerce—of eight or ton millions t o the num ber of our subjects, and a Toth or sixth to the arc- s of our do minions—is one of those misfortunes Englishmen in the East could submit to with patriotic fo rtitude and Chris tian resignation, especially in the case o f a country w i t h a magnificent seacoast and line of shipping ports all that can be imagined.

Very heavy rain had fallen on the 10th, since when the weather has been cool and agreeable, the ther mometer having fallen nearly 40 degrees. The rumour of our 112esident at Hyderabad having been instructed to recommend to the Nizsm that a cession of territory should be made to us, the revenues of which would be sufficient to pay the contingent, has once more sprung up, with the addition on the present occasion that the Niz on is merely to be persuaded to agree to the propo sition. In the Calcutta Englishman we find the an nexed extract frcm a letter from the Deccan:—' I think the Yawl will shuffle out of his difficulty. If he were to be treated with common justice; it would be found that he owes us nothing, During the last 50 years the Madras Commissariat at Secunderabad has wrongfully received and appropriated all the duties on liquors, &c., denominated the "abka rrY,” producing, one year with another, a lac per annum, S o we ma y get out of the scrape, but the contingent will be reduced, horse, foot, and excessive staff.' As our contemporary remarks, this is certainly something new to us.

Of course our-local government, in this, as in most other matters—the filli ng u p of ap pointments always excepted—stands still. " The, weather for the, past three weeks has ibeen about the most extraordinary ever experienced at this season of the year. The winds in place of blowi ng from N.W.. and E. alternately day and night, hiv e m ostly been from S.W., with"a cloudy instead o f a oloud l ess sky, lightning every evening, a moist at mosp h ere, fre quent showers, and a constant threatenin g o f the ra i ns , which scarcely ever sot in before the beginning of June. 1 " The Governor-General continue s at Barracapore, near Calcutta; Sir H.

" We mentioned iu our last that the Government of India had bestowed 4 donation a 2 0001, on pr, O'Shaughnessy, in acknowledgment of his services in the construction of the electric telegraph ; the C a l_ cutta Chamber of Commerce has followed with a miler acknowledgment of more moderate amount ; the Trade Association ha 4 led the way in doing jus tice to his merits. The officers of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have presented a handsome piece of plate to Mr. Piddington for the invaluable service he has conferred on navigation as one of the first cyclonelogists of the age. His merits in this way have been fully recognised by the Admiralty at home, and by most Governments and all meteorologists throughout the world. Empty commendation has hitherto been the sole reward of a man who, bad he re ceived a tithe of the property saved through 'his means, would have had a princely fortune; Government never bestow good appointments on men of merit—they seem to think intelligence and excellence their own reward, and that the good things of the State should be reserved for those destitute of either. The case of Dr. O'Shaughnessy is en exception, and a very rare one , to a general rule almost uniformly adhered to. Th e Madras Athena.= assures us • that the Madaulay Code will very shortly become the law of the land, Mr. Peacock having brought out the amended draught in his portmanteau. But few of Mr. Bethune's additions will be retained it is said. We shall be curious to see what success has been achieved in the way of removing the objection made to the code on its first appearance in the pages of the Gazette.' " A correspondent of the Bengal Hurkaru gives the following string of rumours prevalent in the City of Pa laces on the 10th inst. There were various reports and conjectures current in the bazaar yesterday. One was to the effect that the five per cent. aiccas was to be paid off instanter. The other that a new four per cent. Com pany's was to be opened, inviting subscriptions in half cash and half in the four per cent. siccas, so as to con vert all Government securities into one denomination of coin, namely, Company's rupees. The third was, that the coffers of the Treasury have not b ee n s o full for many, many years (with about fifteen crores), and spoke volumes in favour of Lord Dalhousie's highly prosperous administration, that there were more than ample funds to provide egainst all contingencies of the Burmese war." And the Burkaru of the 12th states that money was so plentiful in the bazaar that loans ou the deposit of Com pany's paper, leaving a very moderate margin, might be obtained trom respectable shroffs at the rate of 3i per cent. per annum. At Calcutta the markets for imports and country produce continue very dull. In the money market there was something like a glut. Not much doing in exchange, which had an upward tendency. The quotations for first-class credits at six months' sight were 2s. to 2s. op. per rupee. Freights, sugar to Lon don, on first-class British vessels, 3/. 58. to 3/. 7s. 6d.; on American bottoms, ss. to 10s. lower. Trade at Bombay has been done at a moderate extent only, and the port may now be considered closed for coasting vessels. The money-market continues extremely uneasy. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Bombay Times.) BOMBAY MARKETS FROM THE 12TH TO THE 22D OF MAY INCLUSIVE. The Money Market—As the season draws to a close money in the bazaar appears rather less scarce. In European quarters it continues, as it has done all the year, most abundant. The share and Government secu rity markets are much the same as when we last wrote, and current quotations may be given as follows: Transfer Loan ... at 113 Sicca Fives at 107* to 108 Sicca Fours at 94 New Fives ... at 105 Co's Fours ... at 91 Oriental Bank Corporation Shares .. at 27i per cent. prem. Bank of Bombay Shares ... at 15 per cent. prem. Bank of Madras Shares ... at 15 per cent. prem. Agra Batik Shares at 10 per cent. prem. Commercial Bank Shares ... at par. The Shares of the Bank of Madras seem to be about 10 per cent. lower since the Governor in Council of the benighted Presidency wrote that mischievous minute on its affairs, and recommend e d to the Court of Director s the withdrawal of its charter. It is truly lamentable to think that the collective wisdom of the Government of a vast Presidency should be so destitute of something useful to employ themselves with that they are reduced to writing minutes on banking, the only visible effect of which is depreciation the property of the share holders by 10 per cent. Tonnage—The arrivals have been heavy of late, in consequence of which the rates for Liverpool hav e de clined to 31.25. 6d. to 3/. 55.; for London, 31.55.; and for Greenock. 3/.75. 6d. To China the rate has declined to 14r. to 14ir. per candy.

The short period of time which has again intervened between the dispatch of the last and the present mails, coupled with an unusually dull market, has limited the amount of transactions which we have to record, and our remarks thereon must, consequently, be unavoidably brief. ► Our export market has remained inanimate and dull, and the business done has generally been on a restricted scale. In sugar the transactions have been very mode rate, with drooping prices, which, nevertheless , still ex ceed' those of the London market, as quoted in our last advises. Raw silk has only been in moderate demand. Silk piece goods have been quiet, and on the descending scale. Saltpetre has been in good inquiry, although the amount of business recorded has not been great. The exports of rice are proceeding on a fair scale to Great Britain and the Mauritius. Lac dye and shellac are, also, in fair inquiry. The market for safflower is ani mated. Hides still in very moderate request. Oil seeds continue to attract attention. Jute is comparatively neglected. Our import market has underkone no improvement, and still remains depressed. The accounts from the upper provinces are of a discouraging tenonr, and the business in progress here is chiefly intended for local re quirements. The demand has been principally directed to 39 and 40-inch gray shirtings and gray jaconets, and also to the low and medium qualities of white jaconets. for all of which a moderate demand exists. With the exception of diagonal lappets and Japan spots, for which some little inquiry exists, all sorts of Glasgow fabrics are neglected. Mule twist has been selling more freely, bat at unimproved prices. The sales of red twist have been wholly confined to Germans, no British yarn having been sold for some time Iron has advanced 1 to 2 arenas per md. The demand for bills has been very small, and the rate of exchange has, consequently, been tending up wards; at going to press we could scarcely call it fixed for the mail, but credit bills could be got at 25,, and do cuments ito higher. No alteration worth mentioning has occurred in the rates of freight, which remain much about our last quotations. The money market is very plentifully supplied. Loans are offered at from 4 to 5 per cent. on good securities, and the rate of interest is likely to go lower, as capita lists cannot find full employment for their funds. Bank of Bengal Shares have realized 6,700 each, and all good joint-stock shares are firm. FREIGHTS.

AMERICAN XENVS.- LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, By the Royal mail steam-ship Asia, Judkins corn mender, we have advices from New York to the 17th inst. She brings 924,000 dollars in specie on freight. The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Com stock commander, arrived at New York on the 13th, and the Royal mail steam-ship Europa, Lott com mander, on the 16th. In the House of Representatives a Bill had been reported authorising a contract for the carriage of mails between some southern port of the United States and the port of Para; the mail steamers to touch at Porto Rico or such of the Windward Islands of Bra zilian ports as may be considered most advantageous. Tee Whig National Convention had assembled at Baltimore for the purpose of nominating a candidate for the Presidency. General Scott had written to the Convention, emphatically declaring his adhesion to the compromise of the last Congress in allittspe de parts. The New York Herald says that owing to the mand for seamen the Government is unable to ob tain crews for the vessels composing the Japan squadron. The latest news from the city of Mexico is to the 19th of May. The leading item of. importance is that relative to the Tehuantepec route. one of the Mexican journals give any information of the grant to Mr. Sloo. The only intelligence of his movements comes in private letters to New Orleans. The Picayune of that city, of the Bth instant, says : We learn on reliable authority, that on Saturday night, the 15th ult., at the city of Mexico, Senor Rami rez, the Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs, named the next day. Sunday, the 16th ult., as the time when he would meet the representatives of Colonel Sloe, and sign the contract made with him for opening the route over the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The information came in a letter trom the city of Mexico, of the shove date, which is the very late s t. "The Siglo of the 14th of May copies from a Minis terial paper of the previous day an article which states that the American Government, not being able to comply with the stipulation in the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which obliges it to defend the Mexican fron tier against the Indians, had offered 6,000,000 dollars to the Government of Mexico as compensation. The Siglo adds If this be true, we think the subject needs the approval of Congress, and if it should be a g reed to, we much fear that the 6,000,000 will be wasted without the frontiers receiving much attention.' "One of the papers of the city of Mexico says that the State . of Chiapas is threatened with an invasion from Guatemala, aided and abetted by certain parties in the territory of Mexico. The Government has no means of defence. The Sig/0 says that the last insult that could fall upon that unfortunate country would be an invasian from Guatemala. _ _ .... " On the 13th, the four Ministers formally resigned their offices, in consequence, as they said, of not having merited the confidence of Congress in the Tehuantepec affair. The Zempoalteca, of Jalapa, believes that the President has persuaded the Ministers to withdraw their resignations. " The discussion on the tariff was still proceeding i n Congress. The Monitor calls on all Members to forget personal differences, sacrifice their cherished opinions, and unite in some measure of the kind for the salvation of the country. "A correspondent of the Zempoalteca, writing fro m the city, says that on the 18th ult. the law f or t h e ad mission of foreign flour into Vera Cruz was lost in the Chamber of Deputies by a vote of two-thirds." By this arrival we have the details of the Californiau news brought to New York by the ste am - ship nois. The Pacific Mail Steam Co m p l n Y ' Oregon left San Francisco for Pan ama on ts:i6tll vessel l of May, with 1,603,803 dolls. 62c. i n gold de l dust on freight.

Sterling exchange was 47i for 60 ays. Seamen were getting wages at the rate of 30 li e dolls. to 70 dolls. per month ; labourers, 4 dolls. to 5 dolls. per day; carpenters, 7 dolls. to 8 dolls.; and workers in machinery, 8 dolls. to 10 dolls. It was confidently asserted by the chief engineer of the Panama Railway that on the Ist of Marc)), 1853, the line will be opened to the Pacific. From Kingston, Jamaica, we have accounts to the 6th inst., but they are devoid of interest. The weather was very hot and business dull. From the Sandwich Islands we have advices to the 24th of April. On the 22d the treaty with Great Britain of July 10, 1851, was ratified by the con tracting parties. On the 14th a severe earthquake MS experienced about three miles to the northward of the one previously reported. The New York stock-market had an improving appearance, Government and State Stocks being in a good demand at higher rates. The money market continued to be liberally supplied with money, and it was thought the low rate of interest would continue some time, it being impossible to find satisfactory securities to absorb any consider able amount of the floating capital offering. There was a fair demand for exchange, with only a mode rate supply of bills, and rates were firm. Mils on London, 110 to 1104 ; Paris, 5 164 to 5 15 • Am sterdam, 40 4 to 41 ; Hamburgh, 364 t o 36f ; iremen, 79i to 79t ; Frankfort, 40f to 40g. The cotton market was dull, 1,050 bales sold at 4c. to fc. per lb. lower than quoted a week previous. The flour market was languid. There was a good demand for wheat for both milling and export purposes, but operations were restricted in consequence of the short supply of good shipping qualities. Indian-corn was in good demand, the better kinds selling readily at enhanced rites. There was improved demand for all descriptions of provisions, and holders refused to sell large lots at the current rates. The iron market was unaltered. A. few hundred tons of Scotch pig iron bad been sold at 19 dolls. 75c. to 20 dolls. for six months. Pit and pearl ashes were dull of sale. Freights dalt. To London flour has been taken at is. 6 d. ; naval stores, 2.. per barrel; and mgasure went goods at 203. to 30s. per ton. S HIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

As the time draws near for the annual migration of the larger oe our river yachts to Cowes and other such ports, the Themes clubs are hurrying on their matches, and accordingly on Sa'urday the London Yacht Club held out as the prize for their second race this seoson a passe containing 40 sovereigns, to be sailed for from Erith round a boat moored off Southend and back to Erich again. The morning of Sisturday—u seems this year to be the rule whenever racing is concerned—broke very gloomily, and was ushered in by a cloudy sky and a steady unwearying rain, which continued till about h a lf-p as t 9. }lupe must have been sorely tied that morning, and in many breasts found wanting, for at a quarter past 9, the appointed time of leaving London bridge, the company was very small; but, as the Meteor steamer remained till 10, when the weather had assumed a less hostile appearance, a few more straggler s were added, and as she called at Biackwall, by which time the sun was out, more dropped in, and formed altogether a pretty good gathering, Arrived at Erith, the candi dates for the golden prize were found lying at their moorings, and drawn up in the following order, begin ning from the north bank of the river:— Mouse, 15 tons- , --414. G. rift-Broeuter: - , Phantom, 20 tons—Mr. S. Lane._ Zuleika, 20 tons—Mr. Morris King. Secret, 25 tons—Mr. R. Bell. Whisper, 19 tons—Mr. T. Eveleigb. Vampire, 15 tons—Mr. C. Wheeler. All being ready, the signal-gun for starting was fired at five minutes to 12 o'clock, and then all went about in excellent order and very skilfully. The Mouse and Zuleika were the first to get their main canvas set, and the Zuleika and Vampire beat the others in getting their topsails hoisted, but tee whole seemed almost magically to be clothed in canvas. The Zuleika was round first, with all the others close behind, and obtained a slight start, the Secret being' last. But almost immediately afterwards the little Vampire took the lead, and main tained her honourable position for some distance. The wind was from the south-west and moderately fresh, so that they were able to run the whole distance down, although at some of the bends they had to lie up very close. The Secret kept working her way past each successive opponent, and round Erith Reach became number one. Pluck cannot tell against metal altogether. and the Vampire having had her spurt was passed down the line, and off Greenhithe began to make her way for the larger ones. Off Grays the Za leika passed the Secret, ell the others following v er y closely except the Mouse, which was straining every nerve, lying over with her gunwale completely under water, but still could not keep up the speed. At Graves end the Meteor passed a large emigrant ship, an d the band of the Hula Artillery, who were on b oard the s teamer, and added very much to the pleasure ucisuc.re logrtits of the day by their excellent music: , struck up " A u ld Lan Syne.'"rhe old familiar air must h ave touched are sponsive chord in the hearts of many of the who crowded her sides, as was evident in tilt p - arty cheer they gave. But, to return to our yachts Lower Hope the Zuleika and S ecret were ' first at a th nti e second, the Phantom third, well no to windward, and edging up very suspiciously to the first two, the fourth, the Vampire fifth, and the Mousy hi sper still very close.

The a( cond boat was allowed 101. to defray ex penses, which the Phantom lost by one minute; and the Vampire and the Mouse were within the same time as fifth and sixth; so that the race throughout was very interesting, and well contested. THE LIFE OF MARIE DE MEDIC'S. BY MISS PARDOE.—This interesting work has, we are glad to hear, met with great and deserved success. " A life more dramatic than that of Marie de Medicis (as a contemporary justly ob serves) has seldom been written ; one more imperially tragic, never. The period of French history chosen by Miss Pardoe is rich in all manner of associations, and brings together the loftiest names and most interesting events of a stirring and dazzling epoch. She has been, moreover, exceedingly for tunate in her materials. A manuscript of the Commaidetir de Rambure, Gentleman of the Bedchamber under the Kings Henry IV., Louis XIII., and Louis XIV., consisting of the memoirs of the writer, with all the most memorable events which took place during the reigns of those three Majesties, from the year 1594 to that of 1660, was placed afrsher dis posal by M. de la Plane, member of the Institut Royal de la France. This valuable record is very voluminous, and throws a flood of light on every transaction. Of this important do cument ample use has been judiciously made by Miss Pardoe; and her narrative, accordingly, has a fulness and particula rity possessed by none other, and which adds to the dra matic interest of the ect. The work is very elegantly. written, and will be read with delight. It forms another mo nument to tlat wotthiness of female inWllect IA the age vre lire Nil (..
