The Department has been perplexed and embarrassed by the refusal of that portion of the Stockbridge Indians, of Wisconsin, parties to the treaty of 1848, to accept the tract of land selected for them in accordance with that treaty, and to which selection they at one time gave their assent. They are, or pretend to be, anxious to remain where they now are, at Lake Winnebago, and individual members of the band have repeatedly visited this city to urge an arrangement to that effect. For reasons stated in my special report to you of the 25th ult., their application could not be granted. The only alternative seems to be to find them a suitable home within the limits of Wisconsin, and, as they require but a very small tract, this can be accomplished with out prejudice to the interests of the white population of the State. The only other Indians having territorial rights in Wisconsin are the band of Oneidas, who occupy a small reservation near Green Bay, and are so far advanced in civilization as to justify the presumption that, like the Brothertons, they will, at no distant day, dissolve their tribal organisation and become citizens. There are, however, within the limits of Wisconsin, and also within the northern peninsula of Michigan, a few small bands of Chippewas of Lake Superior, who still occupy their former locations on lands ceded by the treaties of 1837 and 1842. It has not thus far been found necessary or practicable to remove them. The Chippewas who reside in Minnesota, west of the Mississippi, are not, it is understood, desirous of ceding any portion of their country west of that river ; nor ia such a cession at this time deemed absolutely ne cessary, so far as the wants of our citizens are immedi ately concerned. There are also bands of Chippewa Indians residing in the region north of the headwaters of the Mississippi, who, from the imperfection of former treaties, 10 not participate in their benefits, and are, therefore, in a very destitute condition. It having been found th a t t h e country proposed to be given to th e Winnebagoes, by the agreement made with them last year for an exchange of lands, would, in many respects, be an improper location for them, it was re commended by the Department that the agreement should be so amended as to assign them a location on the southern branch of the Crow River, to include Red Cedar Island Lake. The difficulties connected with our relations with the Sioux Indians of Minnesota were, a year a g o, as ex plained in the last annual report, of a serious c haracter; but they have happily been surmounted. During the last season articles of agreement and con vention were concluded with the Omaha, Ottoe Mis souria, Sacs and Fox of Missouri ; loway, Kickapoo, Delaware, Shawnee, Kaskaskia, Peoria, Wee, Pianke shaw, and Miami Indians , all residing within the cen tral superintendency, and in the newly organised terri tories of Nebraska and Kansas. Congress appropriated the funds necessa r y t o f s lfil the stipulation s of these conventions—the Senate having ratified all without amendment, except those with the Miamees and Shawnee'. There are several other tribes in Kansas Territory with which it will be necessary to have new conventions at an early day ; and it is also very important that arrangements be made as soon as practicable with the Pawnee and Ponoah Indians of Nebraska, by which their limits may be restricted and defined, and their as saults upon emigrants, and their hostile excursions against other tribes terminated. Within the central superintendency no perceptible im provement has taken place during the year in the moral condition of thelndian tribes ; while the unusual and pro tracted drouth that has prevailed in that region of coun try has caused, in many instances, an almost total failure of the crops of some of those who have heretofore at tempted to cultivate the soil. some of the tribes will have corn sufficient to supply • their necessities • and, to guard against inevitable suffer ing and want, i t been determined to retain a portion of the annuities of the present year due to such as are destitute of provisions, and thus afford them the means necessary to procure food during the approaching winter and spring. The residences of the tribes who have recently ceded their lands should be considered (subject in a few cases to a contraction of limits) as permanently fixed. The Osages, Pawnees, and others, have also annoyed the emigrants, and committed depradations upon them. . The roads on the principal routes to the Pacific coast have become very important thoroughfares. Thousands of emigrants and many merchants who, with their property to the amount of several millions in value, pass annually over the plains, are entitled to the protec tion of the Government. The weakness of the present . military force operates injuriously in various ways, and it would be much better to withdraw entirely and let eveigra l pts have notic e th a t th ey must protect t h emse l ves and their property, and leave the Indians to be dealt with by our agents alone, than to permit the posts to remain in their present weak and enfeebled condition. The four principal tribes within the southern superin . tendency—the Cherokees Creeks, Choct aws , an d Chick asaws—continue gradually to improve their condition. Haying generally adopted the habits and puruits of civi lised life, they are probably more prosperous and happy than any of the other tribes within our borders. The Seminoles within this superintendency are in a much bum satisfactory condition, being ig noran t an d more or less debased, idle and addicted to dissipation. The Greeks, within whose boundaries they reside, complain that they are the instruments and agents through whom most of the ardent spirits brought into the country are introduced, and they have appealed to the Government to interpose to abate this nuisance, which is attended with much injury to their people. The United Senecas and Shawnees, and other small _ bands of Quapaws and Senecas, also within the southern superintendency, are in comparatively comfortable cir eumstances • but the Osages in the same district who not yet abandoned the chase, are in much less favour able condition. The Choctaw authorities are anxious to put into ration a general system of neighbourhood or common schools among the people, but have not the means neces sary for its accomplishment. They have requested that - t ale balance of the orphan fund remaining in the hands thebr agent, unclaimed, may be appropriated for that PelNeee, but, under existing laws, the department is te comply. The Indians in Texas are r ep resen t e d t o b e now more peaceful and orderly than they have been during a great portion of th e year. They have committed many out rages upon frontier citizens and continue their forays beyond our b elindarjes, in spite of the military f that quarter , and the efforts of the agents t o h . r i c s e d l e n . de partment to restrain them. It is in contemplation to hem on three reservations which collect and colonize t the State of Texas has granted for the p ur p ose , an d subsisted at the expens e where they are to be 'Anibal of the United States for a year or two, until they . askinparovthide fornecessary their e ns ar y can be induced to Curn their a t tention to agricniture and the raising of stock, and. th us own subsistence. The duty of explorations of the country , and of selecting and f Marcy, te o f th sur veying the boundaries of the reservations, was confided to R. S. Neighbors, the princip al agei3. nt depart meet -in Texas, and to Captain R. army, who were instructed to make a joint report of th e result of their proceedings, with the plans of the reser vations. Conventional arran gements are necessary with all the Indians in New Mexico and Utah, e xcept the Pueblos, for the purpose of fixing them in proper locations, and of gividg to the department such Influence and con trol over them as will enable it, as far as pos i sihP, to ,confine them thereon, and to induce them to resort to agricOlture and kindred pursuits, instead of relying, - .aLti4y7-kow do, for support upon the uncertain and supplies of the chase, and when that fails, -41:0 14 \ • .• a • nd • • Letters for the Two Sicilies and Tuscany may be paid to their destination ; those for Parma and Modena, via Austria, only through Austria ; those for the Papal States and Austrian Dominions, to their destination ; those for Greece, by French Mediterranean packet, to destination ; those for Greece via Austria, and for the lonian Islands via Austria, may be paid to Trieste ; those for Hanover, Saxony, Mecklenburgh Schwerin, MecklenburgStrelitz, Brunswick, Oldenburgh (except the Principality of Birkenfeld), Servia, Poland, and Russia, to their destination.

ROWLAND HILL, Secretary. B.IIIGRAiI 7 T'S LETTER FROM SOUTEI AusneALlA. The writer of the following letter, dated September 4, is a self-taught young man, who has lately emigrated : " It is thirteen months since I had the pleasure of speaking to you; but many times have I thought of you and your kindness to me, for which I cannot thank 'you too often.- The only way I can return your kindness is to do all I can for my fellow-creatures, which by God's help I will. " I like this country much ; it is the place for steady working men ; here is a chance for all who try. Tell any one who thinks of coming out to Australia that if they work they must get on hero. Any labouring man can earn enough in two years to buy land and settle down on it in comfort for life. When I think of the poor steady labouring man in England returning home from his work on Saturday night with his Bs. or 10s. for a week's work, and here he can get that for a day, I wish he were here. I have seen and spoken to many men from all parts of Australia ; they all agree with me in saying to the man in England who is strug gling for a living to come here. This is a fine country —plenty of good land, good water ; in some places the country is very scrubby—some parts full of gum trees, some parts sandy and no water ; in other parts nothing is wanting but men. I have been over many hun3reds of miles of country from the city of Adelaide, which is, like all English towns, full of bustle, to the out station of the sheep farmer on the far distant Murray. I have been 1,200 up the Murray and up the Wakool. Go where you will good steady men are wanted ; many men come out here who are not fit for anything ; they will not work, and like drink, which soon kills them. lam living at Goolwa, on the river Murray, about nine miles from the mouth ; it has not a good entrance, but with care a steam-vessel can always get out, for last week Captain Cadell came in with the Melbourne steam-boat. On Tuesday next he will take her up to the Wakool, when he will proceed up to Albury in New South Wales, with the Lady Augusta steam-boat. I am repairing the engines ; I am superintendent of the work on shore. I can save 51. per week, and live better than I did in England. I have no fear of a bill coming due and not being able to meet it, which many better men than I have in England. I would rather be in any part of the scrub in this country without ls. than in any Eng lish town with 1,0001. I have had troubles and trials here ; first the death of my only daughter. May I always be able to say Thy will be done, 0 Lord.' We must expect death here as well as in Wrentham. May I always be prepared. I find that God is here 411 well as in England. I hear that there are many changes in —. If you have time I should very muck like you to write a line to me. I have had two letters from ; he was in Adelaide. I had a fire when I had been out here about four months, which burnt all my tools, dm, about 891. worth. I can soon get that up. Though I am in Australia, I want to trouble you again. I have sent by this mail to you 1001., which I wish you will pay over •as under. . . . I paid the 1001. into the hands of last week. We have a steam-mill at full work at Goolwa. It is a growing place ; many settlers round about. They want me to set up my foundry and smithwork. I shall not do that yet. A. man must be very cautious about what he does here. Land is now selling in this township for 350/. per acre, which two years ago was sold for 11. to many spe culators at work. Do not buy any Australian land or mining property in England, as many of them are of no account. I have been from the mouth of the river Mur ray up to the junction of the Wakool. For the first 200 miles the land is good ; after that not of much use but for sheep, except the large eats, which are xovered with gum trees. I saw many places fit for wheat or any kind of corn. The old settlers give the country a bad name ; say it is good for nothing but only large sheep farms, tbat is, a farm as large as the county of Suffolk. The naviga tion of the Murray will do away with that. If I can give any one any information about Australia I will gladly do so. You may depend on me when I say this is the place for steady working men. My wife has her health much better here than in Wrentham. I have only been ill one day since I left. I hope this will meet you in the enjoyment of good health ; and may God bless you and yours is the prayer of myself and family. " W. N. B." with my Clerics and the other men in my employ, ail of whom wished me to prosecute, and I accordingly gave the prisoner into custody. Juhn Matthews--I manage the business for Mrs. Catherine Massey, at No. 116, Leadenhall-street. I have bad frequent dealings with the prisoner during the last 6 months. The first transaction I had with the prisoner was on the 22d of June, when he brought me some burnt lace and a small lump of silver, for which I paid him 11/. 133. 6d. The next was on the 7th of July —two lumps of silver, weighing 221 ounces, for 51. 13s. 4d. On the 20th of July I bought of him a small lump of gold for 7/. 3s. On the 16th of August, coins, silver, and burnt lace for 9/. 41. ld. On the 28th of September, two lumps of sil ver we i g hi ng 424 ozs., for 10/. 12s. 6d. On the 2d of October, two lumps of silver weighing 531 ers. ' for 131. 7s. 6d. O n thi s occa sion he said his brother, for whom he was selling, had another lump, which weighed 48 OZ3. 4 dwts., and I paid him 121. is. for it. He did not come again until the sth of December, when I remarked that he was quits a stranger, and that I supposed business was dull with his brother. He replied that such was not the case ; but that be had been down in the country. At that time I bought of him some burnt lace for 21. He also left a lump of silver, but there was so mach dirt in it that I declined to buy it until I had remelted it. That lump of silver produced a bar weighing 45 ozs. 3 dwts., for which I gave him when he called on the fol. lowing day, 11/. 14s. 7d. On the 19th of December he sold me two lumps of silver, 48 oz. in weight, for 121. On the 26th of December he brought another lump of oze., for which I paid him 121. 12s. 6d. I paid him sometimes in notes, but latterly in gold, because he preferred it. Alderman Lawrance—What is the total amount that you have paid the prisoner in these dealing I—Witness —lt is over 1001.

That prelate has, in re ply to their respectful remonstrance, approved of the c'induct of his secretary, and says he cannot consecrate the ground at Torrington because of the 85th canon, which requires churchyards to be " well and sufficiently fenced and maintained with walls." The board having ob tained the approval of tke Home Secretary in respect to the ground intended to lee consecrated, have applied to tie parish vestry to vote the requisite funds. Before the vestry meeting the Board pledged itself anew to carry out their design intact—to spend no more on the Epis copaliao than on the Dissenting chapel, and to build the two chapels in all respects alike. The Vestry voted the sum required with the utmost readiness, and without offering any exception to the Board's plan ; and the usual notices for raising the money and for contracts have been issued. Should, therefore, the Bishop perse vere in his refusal to consecrate, there is a prospect that , w place ill t h e i n habitants of the nolens vaens, be all buried in unconsecrated earth. OF A sox.
