Some letters have been delivered to-day from Van Diemen's Land to the sth of June ; the accounts are generally favourable. As far as the original settle ments are concerned, mercantile affairs are repre sented as having to a great extent recovered from the extreme depression they have of late exhibited, which had been owing chiefly to over-trading. The crops ,being expected to be most abundant, no apprehensions were entertained but that the prospects of the colo -nista would realize the anticipation which had been formed. The intelligence more interesting is to be gathered from the accounts of the country in general, ._in prefe rence to part i cu l ar p l aces, i nasmuc h as t h ese mor e - particularly concern a large portion of the popu (tlation of this country. It would appear that the pro sstroterLo7areforts to be derived from the newly located great; that the settlements lately formed Are progressing favourably, and that new sources for the ~distribution o f th e pro d uce, are b e i ng a l most 4i l Eepened. But very few years have elapsed When .the quantity of wool exported from Australia Svas represented by a cipher, and a small portion from the, Cape of Good Hope was literally given away, the only stipulation in the contract being, that the buyer should pay the dock rates. Facts are now, however, completely reversed, and England, from ).iOng dependent upon continental nations for the supply of this most necessary article, has a sufficient quantity derived from the colonies, not only to supply the home demand, but also to allow a portion of it to he shipped to those countries upon which it formerly relied. One of the greatest evils with which these ,f4DINIW, have had to contend, has been the high rate 4 f/ interest, and a proportionate, advantage has been taken of. the necessity under which they were to bor- W i y, in order to charge a high rate of interest. It is ft4tisfactory to be able to notice that the value of kateney.there is likely to be reduced to_ something like 411 approximation to what it is in this country. The 4i : valry of the various establishments in London has oiloubtless materially contributed to bri ng thi s a b out; ) 1 0%Ut from whatever cause it may have arisen, the bene- Ai t 4 the inhabitants in the reduction will be great.' Par example, by a Parliamentary return, a sum of about :+9,0001. appears . to have been borrowed Upon Gorernh?ent Bonds for a particular purpose, the interest paid upon which, in six years, amounts to no less a sum than 23,900/. It may therefore be calculated how great the henefit will be which a Alualler interest will confer upon individuals, when Government have paid so dearly for a loan ; and it Will be the more apparent when a comparison is in stituted between the credit security which one party glOd the other were able to of ~. ..

IRELAND. NATIONAL EDUCATION.-THE PRIMATE. Dum.Dr, SEPT. 18.—Sufficient importancel;;;i been attached to the adhesion of the General Assem bly of the Presbt•terian Church of Ireland to the na _ onal system of education. The last report pre sented to Parliament states that 400 schools connected with the Presbyterian body in Ulster are receiving aid from the Board. The Presbyterians, without trenching on a single principle, have thus been en abled to avail themselves of the funds voted by the Legislature. This junction of so important and in telligent a body may be regarded as putting an end to all-chance of successful opposition to the national system. originally proposed by Lord Stanley, and now adopted by the present Ministry. Under such circumstances the ultras and bigots in Ireland, whilst crusading against that system, are only exposing themselves to public ridicule. The struggle about to be made for Mr. Hamilton, in the University of Dublin, has for its object resistance to the national system of education, and the grant to Maynooth. The Primate, Lord John George Beres ford, is the leader of the Hamilton party. His Grace, at the annual visitation of his arch-diocese, held on Thursday in the cathedral of Armagh, re peated, - in the presence of upwards of three hun dred clergymen, his well-known opinions on the subject of education, no doubt with a view of fully impressing them upon his clergy, every one of whom is an elector of the University. Thus we find the Primate in Armagh, working very practically against the Government in Dublin Castle. The great fair of Banagher commenced on Thurs day. Sheep rated at from 4s. to ss. under the prices of last year. The sellers dreaded a greater fall. It is feared Ballinasloe will prove a very bad fair. About five o'clock this morning a fire was disco vered in the extensive china and dell establishment of Mr. Hill, Thomas-street, in this city. The house and property were nearly destroyed before any alarm was given, and the inmates had a very narrow escape —if all of them have escaped. One man, who ap peared at an upper window, within reach of the flames, was fortunately rescued by some people, who bravely ventured upon the roof, and drew him up by ropes. The house and all it contained were consumed ; but, by great exertions, the flames were prevented from extending. S. Peake, build er , R amsgate —W. CER TIFICATES—Om 11. Ward, plumber, Manchester—W.

The B qfast Vindicator contains the following, from which it appears that the denunciations against the National Board have not been wholly unavailing : " A national school-house was burned in Culaleeky in the course of the last month. The Commissioners consented to continue to the master the salary, pro vided he could procure any house in which the chil dren might he accommodated. The owner of a house which was promised to the master for this purpose, received a threatening letter, informing him that his tenement would suffer the same fate. The outrage was investigated at the Ballymena Petty Sessions on the 29th and 30th of August, but nothing tangible euuld be elicited beyond the deposition of a witness, that the threatening notice was written in the hand of a. certain person. In the course of the examina tion of witnesses, it appeared that in that district a strong party prejudice prevailed against the National Board, as being identified with Popery: This is passing strange, as the patron of the school is a mi nister of that communion.

AN HONEST MAN.—Some days since a group containing portraits of Fleury and Desplaees was ab stracted from the case containing specimens of M. Claudet's Daguerreotype at the Adelaide Gallery. M. Claudet having. previously missed a portrait of one of her Majesty's horses, by advertisement offered a reward of ten guineas for the detection of the appropriator. On Saturday a parcel, containing the missing portraits of th e n amicers" was delivered to M. Claudet, accom panied by 1). idtgr signed " A. 13.,” in which the writer stated that he 'had pnreln.sed the plate from a man in Holborn, and that `e as he IVO itP4iORS not to have sfaen property Jbund in his possession, he had returned it."

LITERATURE QUARTERL YRE VIE 11: Nu. XL. Murray, Loudo n . The ("option whether Mi.. Pitt. excelled in written coniposition as well as in Oratory, which has been often discussed, and on which no de cisive opinion has hitherto been pronounced. has . at length been set at rest by the puble_..ayon of his official correspondence with the Duke of Rut land, who was appoiuted Lord Lieutenant of Ire land in 1784, about a year or two after Pitt's first aceession tort power. This correspondence, of which an aide notice appears iu tli Number befbre us, exhibit; the illustrious statesman quite in a new light—namely, as a vigorous ad graceful writer, whose style has all that sue vinetness and felicity olexpression which is seldum arrived at, except by continual practice. Among iii. letters to the Duke is one, dated 17811, wherein, alluding to a peerage which his Grace requested tutu to I WSI oNV on a minted friend, lie Say :—" A variet y of circumstances have nit avoidably led me to reeommend a larger additioa to the 13riasli peerage than I: like, or than think quite creditable; and I am on that accoent very desirous not to illereitNejt 110 W Iltrther than 14 absolutely necessary." s This passage is not a little remarkable, wheo we bear in mind that it was writteu by , a Premier, who, at a subsequent period, increased the peerage to a greater extent than any two of his successors. " Pitt's 11111Sli r00111s" was a phrase of the day in every one's mouth, and was strictly applicable to not a few of his new creations, by whose means chiefly it was that he carried his favourite project of the. Irish Union. Front the Attire' passage we see that in recommending such .a multiplication of honours, he did considerable violence to his own feelings, and yielded only to the force of in exorable circumstances. Of his correspondent, the Duke of Rutland, little need be said. He was no great politician, but, nevertheless, he made a highly popular Lord-Lieutenant, being possessed of many of those showy qualities which the Irish like; his 'nature was frank and social, his munificence and hospitality un bounded; his address was conciliatory to a degree; and his love of conviviality so great, that he fell a victim to it at the early age of thirty three. If we remember rightly, Wraxall has related many pleasant festive anecdotes of him in his Memoirs; and his character shows to great advantage in &abbe's Life, prefixed to the last edition of his poems. " Marshal Blucher" is an interesting review of a bio graphical memoir of this veteran warrior, pub lished recently at Leipsig, from which it appears that lie was born in 1742., and served through the latter part of the famous seven year's war, under the Great Frederick. He was con sequently- far advanced in life, when, on the general rising in Germany against Napoleon's despotism, he took the command of the Prussian forces; but few, if any, among his younger military contemporaries, exhibited more energy and decision of character.- He was brave as a lion, an adroit and ready tactition, and, as Bona parte observed of the British soldiery, never knew when he was beaten.. "His jests," says the Reviewer, "frequently of a description ill calculated for chaste ears, extorted grim smiles front lips black with the cartridge, and sent laughter through the column, while grape-shot was tearing its ranks. When he checked his horse in the hottest cannonades to light his pipe at the linstock of the gunner, the piece was, pro bably not the worse served. • Towards the close of the campaign in France, the infirmities of age at one moment almost induced, him to contem plate the abandonment of his command, and to retire into the Netherlands ; bu t th e s pi ri t tri umphed over time flesh, and though unable to remain in the saddle for the last attack on Mont martre, he gave his orders with calmness and precision from a carriage. llis appearance on this occasion must have taxed the geavity of his staff, for, to protect his eyes, then in a state of violent inflammation, the. grisly vetern hail re placed his cocked-bat by a French lady's bonnet and veil !" We quote an amusing extract, re specting Blucher and Wellington, while engaged in the battle of Waterloo : " The 18th saw Mueller again in the saddle, at the head of Bulow's newly-arrived division, urging Its onward course, and his own, like Milton's griffin through the wilderness, cheering the march-worn troops till the defile of St. Lambert rang to his old war-.cry and . soubriquet _l: l or.tvards'—reminding them of the rain which had spared so much powder at the Katzbach, and telling them of the promise of assist ance which he stood pledged . tO,redeem to the Eng lish. Nobly,' indeed, was that promise redeemed, and the utter ruin of the French army is to be ascribed to that assistance. IJngrateful we should be not to acknowledge such service, though we cannot subscribe to the theories, whether French or Prussian, which gave it the full merit of saving from destruction an army which had, while as yet unsupported, repulsed every attack and annihilated tho i French cavalry. We know that no thought of disastrous a result crossed the - minds of those about the Duke's person, and that officers of his staff who left the field wounded towards the close . of the action, did so with no other feeling of anxiety than for the personal safety of him they lilt behind. His servants, who, in the village of Waterloo, had the opportunity of witnessing the inci dents of the rear of such a battle—which try the nerves more than'those of the fray itself—knew their master well. The manceuvreS 'of..the kitchen were conducted with as much precision as those of the Foot-guards at St. James's. Reign what confusion there might in the avenue of Soignies, there was none in the service of the Duke's table, and the honour of the Vattel of his establishment was preserved free from stain as his own. " That he ever returned to eat the dinner so pre pared was certainly not due to any avoidance of per sonal exposure on his own part. Of Buonaparte's conduct in that respect on this his last field-day we have seen no account on which we could rely. We have no doubt of his sang froid under fire; but whe ther Waterloo witnessed its conspicuous display we are ignorant. On divers celebrated occasions he is known to have abundantly exposed himself; but in general he would seem to have been as free as our • own commander from the vulgar ostentation of court ing danger, and in most of his greater battles there was little call fur it. We have heard that Bertrand, at St. Helena, set much store by an opera•glass through which Napoleon had discovered the Eugl4,li General at Waterloo. We believe that niiitlior the Duke nor his staff succeeded at any moment of the . action in identifyi ng th e person or exact pos i t i on of his great opponent, though few great battles have brought rival leaders so near. That our chief was everywhere except in the rear is'well linown; and the 'casualties among his own staff, of whom many were hit at his side, bespeak the hot service he went through. Danger pursued him to the lot: Alta sixteen hours in the saddle, he Ms .R.1i4 1 ,10% At his own quarters, when the spirited anintab long after wards a pensioner i n the paddocks of Strathfieldsaye, as if conscious of the termination' of his labours, jerked out his heels in a fashion which a slight change. of direction might have made fatal to his, WA Vider. Such an exploit would have rendered poor Copen hagen rather more fareees flok tittle gentleman in black relort,§ct gilen toasted in our Jacobite revel* At' the last century." In speaking incidentally of the battle ,of Waterloo, the Review tAiOs the oppinlunity of exposing some of AlivAlisau‘s ntis-statements on the suleeet ; in his "History of the French Ro, Volution," and in reference to his assertions that the Duke occasionally threw hinlSelf into a square, ,and, in couSe(.4lence of the severe l oss imor.e4 iii§ steif, was obliged, in the close of "hp itiv; ,to tile casual assistance of as Port kt , geese, whostood _near, to carry .titc3 %OA 110ees nary orders;"—in referenee to, tilese as%ertion s th e Reviewer olli:P 4 rYc'a ; ' `.c We are able to assure "Mr. Alioqn .sinry, however generally correnf 3 cit the: fluke's ova , asiontrlly t; Irit~j self into - a - square, - is a fiction.

" Poems by AlfVed Tennyson" is a favourable notice of tl:e works of the most promising young poet of the day, whose " Loeksley Hall"--a production full of -original beauty—displays much of that force of expreSsiou and fervor of emotion, which we find in some 'of the ntiuor poems of Lord Byron. Mr. Tennyson has all the luxuriant imaery of Ideates, without any of his effemis nate sensibility, and wilfhl caprices of rhyme. He feels strongly, and occasionally evinces much subtle power of thought but he should beware of dabbling; in metaphysics, which is the rock on which Coleridge split. The "Orestea of Eschy lus" is evidently the production of a sound clas sical scholar, and of one, too, whose heart is in his subje.A. " Policy of Sir Robert Peel" has already been noticed in The Sun. It is unmea sured praise throughout, and even defends the Income-Tax, on the grounds of its "novelty," e ble and "obj ec ti ona bl e character." Objctiona enough, it is Ciod knows; but as to its " no velty, it is so far from being novel, that it is neither more nor less than a State pla4iaristu from the Whigs. ---- AN AWKWARD '. MISTAKE. ARREST OF THF, DUKE OF BRUNSWICK ON SUSPICION OF BEING ONE OF THE SWELL MOB. Most of our readers are aware of the extensive rob bery committed at Preston on Monday se'nnight, during the celebration of the Guild, by a party of ac complished swindlers, who succeeded in introducing themselves to Mr. Marquis, of Accrington, and easing him of, his pocket-book, containing 1,900/. in Bank of England notes, and 100 sovereigns. In the evening of the Thursday following, a dashingly -attired fo reigner entered one of the hotels in that town, and called for a pint of wine, tendering a 51. Bank of England note in payment. The waiter having heard a description of' the persons by whom the robbery of Mr. Marquis had been effected, fancied that the per sonal appearance of the strange guest tallied with that of one of the parties implicated in the theft ; and this supposition - was con verted into almost absolute certainty when the fbrmer withdrew from his purse a note of the identical hank %%hose promissory obli gations constituted the hulk of the stolen property. Fired with the supposed discovery, he communicated his suspicions to the proprietor of the hotel, who i on curred in the probability of the supposition, and de spatched a messenger in quest of a policeman, who was ushered into the room where the supposed "con veyancer" was luxuriously reclining on an ottoman, and humming snatches of an opera time, when his, privacy w thus rudely disturbed. The constable, without ceremony marched up to the sofa, grasped its occupant by the collar, and after stating the nature of the charge against him, blandly desired the favour of his company to the station-house. Words are wanting to describe the mingled air of rage and asto nishment with which the " strange gentleman" re• ceived this intimation, and its accompanying infringe tNi‘l•hyerne,peinlietderinti:eofcharge declaring mint of personal liberty. For some moments he was disregarded& the Duke of seemed deprived of utterance, but at length his tongne considered. it, indignation and resumedhimself i m disdain, sel t ho i e t s boheffiau no g e o h , less a personage than protest againstgpxh a ''„, b ltli t ri b s e w po lc l k ic . onlialniisanadvoiNil.sal, abettors, honove however, a mere artifice resorted in the hope of overavel-„, thernthe lice-office; a ; proceeding, and dis tance of from four to five hundred yardc,. a crowd i n d s f p a i g t spite of h i i i s imto earnest police-ofd; of persons following, attracted by the rumoured detection of one of the scoundrels by who'di Mr. Mar quis had been plundered. On arriving there, the, stranger reiterated his former declaration, and in prove of his assertions referred to the owner of the mansion where he had taken up his stay, and als o t o several iii.,- tinguished individ ua l s whom he named.

THE USE OF EARTHQUAKES. At the celebratiOn of the union of the Leeds Lite rary and Mechanics' lnstitutiop, Dr.. Buckland, the eminent geologist, made the following observations„: — Agricultural chemistry was now hailed by the agri culturist as a sword in his right hand, to break through the barriers that have, till within these last very few years, impeded the progressive improvement of the soil. It was to the result of chemical discoveries, aided by judicious agricultural observation, and by meteorological, electrical, geological, and in fact the combined operation of every science that could be pressed into the service of procuring food for man, that they must look with confidence for an efficient, and more than efficient remedy, for those increasing numbers that were daily coming into the world, and which must be fed. Professor Leibig showed th a t th e vegetable kingdom had fo r it s final ject the adpata tion of elementay matter to the use of the animal kingdom. It has been often asked —what was the tc,e of such an infinity of organised beings The plants of the field .were beautiftik• but it might be said that halfof them were never seen. But they had their use. If they looked to -the atmosphere which they breathed—if they looked at the earth on which they trod—if they looked at the substrata beneath the were full, teeming with riches, and with demonstrations of the goodness and greatness of the Creator. In the rain that fell from heaven, Pro fessor Liebig had told them that there descended the elements of fertility to the earth, and in the dew that fell in the summer nights there descended again the elements of fertility. They had seen the effects of all this before, but until lately, the manner in which those effects were produced was unknown. It was not water only that the dew-drop contained—it brought down ammonia, which arose from the putre facticn of animal and vegetable matter; and so in purifying the atmosphere for their lungs, it fertilized the earth. It also brought down carbonic acid, which they evolved in such enormous quantities each day from their lungs, and which loured in such gorgeous clouds over this murky town of Leeds—all that smoke which made dense the atmosphere of this great manufacturing town; it brought down all that close ness and denseness, for the purpose—he would not say of manuring —but of feeding by a more delicate process, those beautiful trees and gorgeous crops of corn, which they saw in the park of the Noble Earl (Fitzwilliam) and other persons whose estates adarned this neighbourhood.—(Applause.) They had at Leeds long been in the habit of impressing fire and water into their service. It was long ago observed by a negro, on his first coming into this country, that the pig was the only gentleman in England. " You make," said he "fire work, water work, steam work, wind work, everybody work, and the pig be the only gentleman in England." There was in this neighbourhood one point especially deserving of notice. Ile had seen most of the coal fields of England, and the surface of most of them—cf South Wales for ex ample —was as to agricultural purposes entirely barren,—large and extensive mountains covered with heath and grouse, which were all the proprietors got from it. But what was their more fortunate lot ? Why, that from Nottingham, at one end, through Chesterfield, Elsecar, Barnsley, Wakefield, till they came to the boundaries of the coal formation on the wharf,—what had they ? Not only one of the richest coal fields in the world, but they had that same coal field loaded, saturated, gorged—as Elsecar and Barns ley would testify—gorged with iron ore, two, three, and four feet in thickness; the coal alongside of it, ready to reduce, at the least possible amount ofexpendi ture, the ore which was worthless, into that metal which was most precious and valuable. Not only had they this extraordinary, this most especially ex traordinary condition of the sub-soil; but on the sur face, instead of the wilderness which a coal field •usually presented, they had fields of the highest order of agricultural capability, smiling parks, and waving woods, from the splendid mansion of Lord Harewood at one extremity of the coal field, to that of Mr. Gaily Knight at the other. He would notsit down without observing, that it was to this very coal field that the great bulk of the population of the West Riding owed its existence. Let them go by railway from Leeds to Manchester, and count, if they could, one quarter of a mile which they would not find studded with swal lows' nests along the crags, which suspended over that most extraordinary geological chasm produced bygeo logical events. The meeting would pardon him for being somewhat professional. He considered it bad taste to shy the shop ; and he held it good taste to say that there was nothing like leather. He was prepared to say that but for the geological circumstances he was referring to not one in a hundred of the persons he had now the honour to see before him would have come into existence. He held it to be a feet that • but for these geological phenomena—first, the CP4:fiol, of the coal ; ne x t, th e disturbances lunent revo lutions—call them earthquakes ,ney liked, but which were a thousandfold ineriintense than modern earthquakes —not one in a hundred of the persons he saw before him would have had existence. From the bottom of those lakes Awl seas, and estuaries, in which depo s it s had beetsgoing on f or ages, had been raised by the action of earthquakes more intense than imagination could conceive, that great chain of mom tains that separated them from the valley of Lanca shire, and which separated Leeds from Manchester by the almost impassable barrier of Blackstone Edge. They had there the coal " set on edge," and plung ing on one side to the eastward, and on the other side to the westwerd, and covered over in Lancashire and in the neighbourhood of York with red sandstone, and . with the wre c k s o f t h e revolution which caused' this elevation. When that elevation of the• mountain chain took place, it brought from the bottom of the sea the local strata to which he had referred, and when this movenieut of a portion of the globe, thisbursting, so to speak, of one coat of the great anion, occurred, it was by all the laws of physics accompanied by a series of' fractures. In consequence of these phenomena, they had five great transverse fractures eastward, and west ward, that had been the causes of the valleys, down which flowed the magnificent rivers which united in the Humber. They had the river at Wakefield, the river that passed through Leeds, the Wharf, the Nirki, and the Swale, and every one of these rivers was ge nerated by transverse fractures, which in the main— not literally —were at right angles to the great line of elevation. Above all, they had the fracture, the great chasm, by which they went from this town, through Sowerby, To.dwearden, and Rochdale, to Manchester. Whq WAA that ti It was that great chasm, that great swip et' the back bone, when the great giant laid prostrate in the earth was brought up 1,200 feet to be quickened into a, state of activity, and to present them With thong 17034 of coal which had been the means of oliniAB7. into operation their ingenuity and mechani eal invention. Ile could not but think that it was be coming, on the present occasion, that he should allude more particularly to the operations of Providence, which were sa obvious, at least to himself, who had la red for 30 years in investipting the structure of the interior of the earth, but which were the less obvious, perhaps, to those whose condition in life had not brought before them the phenomena so striking to him self, it was, he thought, a duty that lie should not 41 down without publicly stating that the study of these great works of Providence produced in his mind the liveliest conviction of the power nil good nyn c h f the. Creator.—(llear, hear.) Other friends w4u were occupied in some of the highest depart went% of physical investigation, he 'knew to be ani tri,ooanltlesd: s 4, l on b , y the same feeli ngs; and one of his friends in who was oc cupie d i n microscopic examina id that he felt di sposed to fall on his knees at, every new discovery he made.—(llear, hear.) It was quite unnecessary, after what he had stated, to impress upon them the enormous debt which the in habitants of this•ueighbourhood more especially owed to Proyidenets---not only the common debt which all Mankind owed for their existence and for the ordinary blessings of life, but that especial debt they owed for having been born on a soil so pre-eminently favoured in the surface, and so bountifully enriched in the sub surface,----4Applause.) In Leeds, he was quite sure, ho sided not do more than bring the knowledge or the fact before their imagination, to excite in them those sentiments of deep and fervent piety which were due to mach an occasion. I htoN VEssras.—There are now in the iron ship building-yard of Mr. John Laird, of North Birkenhead, two vessels of rather singular construction. The first vessel is intended for a floating-light for the entrance of the Mersey. It is much longer than the present light ships, and is expected to have less motion, even in a rough sea, than the short wood vessels now in use. It will be ready for sea in about two months. The second vessel is building for the Honourable the East India Company. It is intended for a pilot-boat in the Iloogley. Unlike our pilot-boats, which are small, it is of two hundred tons burthen, and of more than ordinary breadth of beam. Its interior is to be completely finished in Liverpool. In the hold will be large tanks for holding water, with which, it appears, the pilot-boats on the Calcutta station always go to sea, that, in the event of falling in with ships short of water, they may supply them with so in dispensable an article. The cabin will be a spacious apartment, lofty and well-ventilated, with berths all round for the pilots.

CUININEY-SWEEPERS,--A man, named Martin, a: master sweep, was charged, on Saturday last, before Me- Rushton at the Liverpool police-offic e , w i t h having seta a b..iy under the age of 21 up a c hi mney. Mr. Richt-W.

One of the men in the. employ of the informaut ,proved the case against both parties. Mrs. Houghton, who ap peared on behalf her husband, having strtisfied the Magistrate that she was deceived by the dePendant both as to the age of the boy and the age specified by the law,. was acgratted. Mr. Rushton, however, told her to takes nothe, that the law did not allow any individual and( r 21 years of age to be sent up a chimney, and that ar t y housekeper suffering an individual under that age to ascend a chimney became liable to a penalty of not less than 51., and which might be 101. Martin wag tined 51., and, in default of payment-, was ordered t o be imprisoned one month.
