" The main points of this treatise are the clear and detailed state ment of the principles on which the author's system is based, and very explicit particulars of its verification by experiment. . . We cannot refuse to entertain Mr. Hay's system as of singular excellence. The simplicity of his law and its generality impress themselves more deeply on the conviction with each time of enforce ment. His theory proceeds from the idea, that in Nature every thing is effected by means more simple than any other that could have been conceived, —an idea certainly consistent with whatever we can trace out or imagine of the all-wise framing of the universe." —Spectator, Jan. Ist, 1853. " This is a treatise which, in its ingenuity not less than its sub ject, is exquisitely beautiful . . . Briefly, it is here proved that man, the image of his Maker, has, even in his low estate, a frame based on the type of the most perfectly conceivable symmetry. By founding (if we may so phrase it) this noble theory, Mr. Hay has covered his name with distinction, and has 1. id the basis, we con ceive, of no ephemeral reputation. By illustrating it anew, through tile medium of this graceful treatise, he has conferred a real boon upon the community, for he has afforded the public another oppor iunity of following the golden rale of the post—by looking through the holy and awful mystery of creation, to the holier and yet more awful mystery of Omnipotence."—The Sun, March 17, 1853. "Au point du vue philosophique ou xsthetique nous comprenons fort Hen l'utilite du travail oublie par M. Hay . . L'ouvrage est interessant, et indique des etudes consciencienses." L'Athenamm Francais, Dec. 25, 1852. William Blackwood and Sons, Edinburgh and London. THE WAY TO WIN—To win affections, to win fame, to win a fortune by industry or by business transac tiohs—in fact, to win without risk or inconvenience—is one of the happiest events on which we can calculate. Every one is aware of the power which appearance has in gaining the most desirable ob jects, and every person is convinced that success is often decided by the garments in which they are arrayed. "PROPERLY DRESSED," " VERY RESPECTABLY ATTIRED," are the most prominent parts of an interesting description. Thus the CLOTHING BUSI NESS is the first and foremost in the circle of trade, and on its right management the success and comfort of millions in an important measure depends. Therefore, all tasteless, comfortless, and fashion less CLOTRING is an infliction on the patience and pockets of the public. But E. MOSES and SON have won universal and ceaseless fame by business transactions beneficialto every class—for the NOBLEMAN every order of ATTIRE required, or for his servants LIVERIES to any design—for the MERCHANT, CLERK, or MECHANIC, the best and most suitable, and at the same time the cheapest, goods are presented. The Holiday Dress for 'Youths and others provided by E. MOSES and SON exhibits novelty in Materials and magnificence in Style and Workmanship, which has no parallel i a this or any other country, and, as usual, the prices are much lower than are charged elsewhere. The Hosiery . Goods, for Ladies and Gentlemen are, the newest, the best, and most fashionable articles which have been produced. lists and Caps in every variety for the season, in which superior quality and cheapness will again win the approbation of all purchasers A magnificent stock of Boots and Shoes, not to be equalled in any respect by all other houses combined. E. MOSES and SON, Aldgate and Minories, and New Oxford- street, corner of liartsstreet. The Emigrant's right course is to get a good Ship and a good stock of suitable Clothing: the former is required for his safety, and the latter for his comfort and success. A good Ship may be had in most places, but a good Outfit only in one Establishment—that is, E. MOSES and SON'S. Shipping information is furnished without any charge, and Outfits are speedily arranged for any profession and o'cupation for considerably less money than others charge, and at the same time the articles are better in nuality than any obtained elsewhere. An outlay at E. MOSES and SUN'S Is productive of considerable profit to Emigrants, and occasions less inco ivenience in sale than any other kind of goods. A separate dep.irtment is kept for Emigrants. Full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen may be had on applicatton, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of "Being connected with their Establshment," or " the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have • No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as :01lows : London City Establishme it. 134, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

SAMUEL LAWERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. - - • • AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis uses known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfraltfld Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and s the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply row arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. _ At home fOrconsuitation daily from 'Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 1/., and advice and medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LAILERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s Gd, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

CONSUMPTION OF SPIRITS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.— A Parliamentary paper states that 24,423,202 gallons of proof spirits were distilled in the United Kingdom dur ing the year ending the sth of January, 1853. Of these 5,286,322 gallons were distilled from malt only (Ireland and Scotland) ; 15,360,243 gallons from malt, with un malted grain ; 1,208,207 gallons from sugar or molasses, with unmalted grain ; and 6,792 gallons from molasses only (Scotland). The quantity distilled in England was 6,363,276 gallons ; in Scotland, 9,942,218 gallons ; and in Ireland, 8,117,706. In the same year 9,820,608 gal lons paid a duty for consumption of 3,846,404/., at the rate of 7s. 10d. per gallon, in England; 7,172,015 gal lons, a duty of 1,314,8691., in Scotland, at the rate of 3s. Bd. ; and 8,208,256 gallons, a duty of 1,094,4341., in Ireland, at 2s. Bd. per gallon ; making, for the total duty paid on 25,200,879 gallons for consumption in the United Kingdom, 6,255,7081. 2,2 6 7, 419 gallons were imported into England from Scotland, on which the duty, at 7s. 10d. per gallon, was 888,072 ; and 1,258,993 gal lons from Ireland to England, on which the duty, at the same rate, was 493,1051. ; 1,008,857 gallons, paying a duty of 134,5141., at the rate of 2s. Bd. per gallon, were imported into Ireland from Scotland, and 25,598 gal lons, paying a duty of 4,6921., at the rate of 3s. Bd. per gallon, into Scotland from Ireland. From England, 10,858 gallons were imported into Ireland, on which the duty, at 2s. Bd. per gallon, was 1,447. The number of gallons removed under bond, to be warehoused in Eng land without payment of duty, was 1,303,162, being 623,829 gallons from Scotland, and 679,333 gallons from Ireland. On 1,109,187 gallons of the above quantity the duty was paid within 21 days, leaving 193,975 gal lons actually war e h ouse d under Excise lock.

The Royal Mail steam-ship Severn, Captain Strutt, arrived here this •morning with the usual River Plate and Brazilian mails, in charge of Lieutenant-La Touche, R.N., Admiralty agent. The latest dates are, Buenos Ayres, April 8 ; Monte Video, April 6 ; Rio de Janeiro, April 14 ; Bahia, April 19 ; Pernambuco, April 22 ; St. Vin cent's (Cape Verd), May 2 ; Teneriffe, May 8 ; Madeira, May 9 ; Lisbon, May 12. After leaving the Brazil coast the Severn expe rienced strong head winds, and between Madeira and Lisbon encountered a heavy gale from the north-west ; from Lisbon the winds have been from the north-east, with thick weather. She landed 91 passengers at Lisbon and 3 at Madeira, and brings 79 to Southampton, among whom are Cap tain Prolet, Governor of Senegal ; Baron V. Ker mann, from Madeira, Major White, C. 8., &c. The freight list includes specie from Monte Video, value 260/. ; silver bars from Lisbon, value 1,6501. ; dia monds from the Brazils, value 100,000/. ; 128 bar rels tapioca, 129 serons cochineal, 11 casks wine, 11 boxes lemons, 724 half chests oranges, 222 boxes potatoes, and 106 packages sundries. The accounts from the River Plate are of a most unfavourable character. The expectations enter tained that peace between the belligerent parties in the province of Buenos Ayres would be preserved are negatived by the intelligence brought by this packet, which states that General Urquiza, having refused to ratify the convention of the 9th of March fora suspension of hostilities, preparatory_to_a treaty of peP : ce, had marched upon Buenos Ayres and effected a junction with the rebellious forces en camped outside that city. All hopes of a pacific settlement of the dispute had therefore vanished, and both sides were preparing for active warfare. The British Packet gives the following summary of events during the past month "It would be a long and difficult task to enumerate the ever changing aspects of the past month. In the official documents, recorded in our successive numbers, may be traced the fallacious hopes of peace, rudely dashed from our parched lips at the moment least expected, and by the hand of him who had proposed and initiated the negotiations—consequently the very last quarter from which so unkind a blow could have been anticipated. Bearing in mind that the commissioners came invested with full power's ' • that they brought specific instructions as to the ends to be attained andythe means for their attainment • that one of these commissioners was the President of what General Urquiza recognises and in vokes as the National . Congress, and that another was his Minister of Foreign Relations ; that they had been met by the Government of the province of Buenos Ayres in the most frank and conciliatory spirit ; and that every thing had been arranged to the entire satisfaction of the respective commissions ; the veto of General Urquiza places the question in a new light, that leaves much room to doubt the sincerity of his professions and the sanity of his intentions. " his conduct during the negotiations and consequent suspension of hostilities is still more flagrant and inde fensible. Instead of maintaining the stipulated statu quo, we see every exertion made in the sense of a premeditated rupture, and the sanctity of the armistice violated by an armed invasion of the province. Nay, to add insult to injury, the announcement of his non-ratification of the treaty, and march to join the provincial rebellion, is accompanied by the modest request that the capital should still maintain the suspension of hostilities—that is, allow him to effect his movements and concert his measures of aggression without molestation. "We are aware that such charges must appear fabu lous at a distance, but we refer to the public documents in which they are consigned ; and, were other proofs wanted of sinister intentions and Punic faith, we have them in every column and syllable of the Federal Argen tine, published under the eye of the Provisional Direetor, and no doubt the faithful echo of his sentiments and l poaun Urquiza c uw y i z. ill never iste vn i eos thereoe p d needless nn t eo o gwo m l te p gt c ieo e dn t sh h : e a exceptdm o a f t ttehrt there gain e G b e e e i 01 1 n a e or for some sinister motive, nor respect and ratify what may be stipulated in his name, unless compelled to do so by the extremity of hiti situation. "On the other hand the Government has taken its stand, in the note of the 23d of March—a document cordially responded to by public opinion, and from which it cannot deviate with either safety or honour. We can therefore see no alternative but the prosecution of the civil war ; and the next question that presents itself is, what direction may that probably take ? Will Urquiza venture an assault on the capital, or content himself with carrying out the programme of Lagos, by waging war to the knife against the inoffensive oxen ? In either case, and especially the last, which appears to us the more probable, we can foresee only a gloomy prospect for commercial interests, and that for an indefinite period, be the immediate results of the contest what they may. If the treaty of the Vth of March be set aside and Gene ral Urquiza, openly espouse the cause of the rebellion, farewell, a long farewell, to all our fondly cherished hopes of national organisation, of peace, progress, com merce, and the dearest rights and interests of humanity." The Buenos Ayreans accuse the besiegers of vio lating the armistice by acts of wanton barbarity, and mention the assassination of Messrs. Romero and Andrade. "These gentlemen," says the .13z itish Packet— "Availing themselves of the suspension of hostilities, left their families and companions on the morning of the 4th, in all the buyancy of youth health, and hope, to visit certain friends in the neutral camp. Night came, but the youths returned not. On the following morning a bloody cravat was picked up and identified as the pro perty of Romero. The fears of their relatives instigated every inquiry and reclamation, but in vain, and an at tempted search was opposed by open N:olence, and re pelled by a threat of armed force. This state of agoniz ing suspense lasted for two days, when the bodies were discovered in the Saladero of Don Prudencio Rosas, mangled and mutilated in a manner too horrible for description, and ultimately,, on the interposition of Admiral De Sum, delivered up, by the order of Lagos, to their bereaved and distracted families. " Such is a faint outline of as dark and revolting a tragedy as ever cannibals enacted in our pampas, or the heathen wilds of the South Sea Islands. " The intense excitement arising from the events al luded to above at one time threatened the public order of the capital, and individuals of the besieging forces who had entered the city were in imminent peril from sanguinary reprisals. Fortunately the counsels of rea son and prudence - prevailed, and the popular resentment was in some degree allayed and pacified, by merely de taining some 50 of the rebels as hostages for the good conduct of their companions." With regard to the movements of Urquiza the same paper says : " As to the movements of Urquiza reports are con flicting. Some have him already at the encampment of Lagos, others at the Villa de Lujan yesterday morning, and others still on a countermarch for the province of Santa F 4 to suppress an insurrection that had broken out at the Rosario. We have no means of deciding among these rival surmises, but in the Comercio del Plata of the 18th inst. it is stated that he had levied a contributions of $20,000 on the town of Rosario, which we cannot fancy a very popular measure, however patriotic the destination to which they were to be applied. " The same uncertainty prevails as to the armed force he brings along with him, the sum total varying from 390 to 2,500. Whatever the number may be, we know from private and reliable sources that the proportion of Entre-Rianos is small indeed many of the militia force, when cited, having emigrated to the Oriental republic, while others sought a temporary asylum in the forests of Entre Rios." The British Packet also states— " Our news from the south of this province are far from satisfactory. On their retreat, after the dis persion of the. 22d January, some serious depredations were committed by the Indians, all along their route to the Azul. The reclamations of Olmos and Bustos have been disregarded ; and reports, we fear too well founded, announce a subsequent incursion, more towards the coast, with depredations on a much larger scale, and all the revolting atrocities of a savage invasion. The latest accounts represent the garrison of Bakia Blanca as closely besieged and reduced to the last extremity, without other means of subsistence than a few remaining mares and horses, and their only prospect death by starvation or the lance of Indians. Allowing for some exaggeration in the current rumours, there is room to apprehend the most disastrous accounts from that important section of the province." The arrival at Buenos Ayres of the treaty with Paraguay is thus alluded to :-- " On the afternoon of Saturday last the Locust and Flambart arrived at this port from the interior rivers, conveying Sir Charles Hotham, Chevalier St. Georges, and the Hon. Mr. Pendleton, bringing with them re spectively, it is said, a treaty of commerce and naviga tion with the Republic of Paraguay, thereby solemnly recognising its national independence. As to the con tents of these documents nothing has transpired. They are probably of a uniform tenor, and cast in the com mon reciprocity mould !of such South American docu- ments. " Since the recantation of San Nicolas we have been in open dissidence with the m arch of forei g n diplomacy in the river Plate. The declaration of Urquiza, leaving the province of Buenos Ayres to its own fatal resources, and confining his directorship to the 13 remaining pro. vinces, presented then an opportunity of conciliating all interests ; by understanding with him officially as to the foreign relations of said 13 provinces, and officially with the Government of this province, as to what concerned. it. Taking into consideration that nearly all the exist ing foreign interests are centred in the province of Buenos Ayres, this was a course of self-evident expe diency, and might have saved a world of painful sacri fices and unseemly and formidable complications. It might have been done without any derogation to their official dignity, without a semblance of disrespect to General Urquiza, and with the happiest effect to the "BUENOS AYRES, APRIL 3. "With General Urquiza's last note, and the reply of the Government, our last hopes of a pacific arrangement vanish. I enclose the Progreso of this morning, in which they are contained. We believe Uroniza has got into a fix. From the provinces, Santa Fe excepted, he need not expect a man. The commissioner he sent to Cor rientes to demand its contingent, had to make a precipi tate retreat, and we know positively that the province was arming in mass, and had 4,000 men on the Entre Rios as soon as they know Urquiza to be in active hos tilities with the Buenos Ayreans. " We are also satisfied that the Gauchos here will not fight against the city on behalf of Urquiza, but we have serious fears that he may ravage and desolate the province, and blight our prospects for many years to come. "The reports of a revolution in MonteFideo seem all but confirmed. We believe the Brazilians to be at the bottom of it, and, if successful, it will strengthen the hands of Government in various ways." The British Packet gives the following account of mutiny and murder on board an English vessel : CO We have just heard, and fear it is likely to prove correct, that a mutiny took place on board the British vessel Reindeer, on her homeward passage, somewhere in the neighbourhood of Cape Horn, in which the cap tain, mate, cook, and two passengers were murdered, and that the mutineers have subsequently landed at or near the Salado, in this province, and fled into the in terior. We have as yet no dates, nor further details than those mentioned." From Rio de Janeiro and' the Brazilian ports there is no news of importance. It is mentioned there was a probability of a modification, if not a change of the Cabinet soon after the report of the Ministers, to be presented to the Chamb ers on th e 16th of May. By a decree of the Government, the export duties on coffee will be reduced to 9 instead of 11 per cent. from the Ist of July next. Her Majesty's ships Centaur, Trident, and Lo cust were at Buenos Ayres ; the Sharpshooter at Rio, and the express at Bahia. Her Majesty's troop-ship Resistance, from Jamaica, bound to Gambia, was at Teneriffe. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the British Packet.) BUENOS AYRES, APRIL 3. The stagnation of the past month can hardly be ex ceeded—a sort of negative consolation for those who have the philosophy to accept and appropriate it. The transactions of the wholesale market, besides a very limited demand for local consumption, were confined to a few unimportant remittances for the Paraguay market. The demand for the littoral and interior provinces, that gave a character of comparative buoyancy to the month of February, was completely checked, first by the hopes of peace, and latterly by the fear of war—so true is it that extremes meet, the most opposite causes, in this in stance, conspiring to produce the same effect. In ordinary times Easter week is a season of display and finery, especially among the fair sex, that gives a lively impulse to various departments of business ; but in this instance, to their honour be it recorded, everything was conducted with a commendable frugality and simplicity —the sentiments of patriotism and religion enhancing and ennobling each other. RIO DE JANEIRO, APRIL 12. The exchange upon London for this conveyance opened on the 29th ult. at 28d. at 90 days. Later little was doneuntil the 9th inst., when business recommenced at 28, 27i, and 271 d. at 60 and 90 days. These have since been the ruling rates. In all there have been passed 240,0001. upon London (of which about 110,0001. at 28d. and 77,0001. at 27id.), 950,000 f. upon Paris, 360,000 M. B. upon Hamburgh. The shipments last month were 157,234 bags of coffee (against 157,050 in March, 1852)), 182 cases, .10 boxes, 184 barrels of sugar; 3,073 hides, 810 tanned half-hides, 25,096 ox and cow horns, 40 pipes rum, 644 rolls to bacco, 51 bags rice, 2,777 planks Jacaranda, 431 bar rels Tapioca, 3341 b. Ipecacuanlia. . _ _ - Stock—There was as fair demand at the close of last month for Six per Cent. Stock, but transactions on the whole were moderate. The rate advanced to 1071 to 108, and closes firm at these quotations. Unimportant business done in Provincial at 101 to 102 per cent. P.S.—Ami. 13, 2 P.M. Exchange—Upon London, 20,000/. have been passed this morning at 27'0. and 28d. BAHIA, APRIL 18. Up to within the last few days the same dry and hot weather continued, but now, fortunately, we have beon blessed with some copious showers, and hope better times are coming. The traCie in British manufactures never was worse; there is not the slightest demand for any goods whatever, and stocks have accumulated to that extent that it will require six months' active demand to clear them off. We are again well supplied with all the principal articles of food—say beef, flour, and fish. Fever very bad indeed among the shipping; 17 sailors buried one day last week, besides several cases on shore, but chiefly among new arrivals. A few days ago the Forte-de-Mor fired into an English barque, the Mariner, as they say, for going out without being visited, which was not the case. The English Consul detained the vessel here some days, and demanded an explanation from the President, but nothing satisfac- tory was offered ; on the contrary, the President made light of the affair. The ship has since gone to sea. The ball passed between her masts, and was very nearly causing the death of two men who were just below it. Exchange opened at 28id., and closed at 284 d. Vessels are scarce, and 4/. and 4/. ss. paid to Europe. We do not expect any decline at present. Tobacco—A very large stock on hand, say 30,000 to 40,000 bales. Last sale---firsts, 3,200; second and thirds, 2,500 per arroba. Cotton nominal. 4,800 to 5,000 per arr. Little on sale. PE RNAMBUCO, APRIL 18. ' Sugar—Since the departure of the Tay on the 24th ult., owing to very wet weather the supply has fallen off. The favourable accounts for the article brought by the Severn caused dealers to be more firm, and an active business was done at advanced prices for the stocks of dry sugars then on hand. There is now less inclination to purchase, the late supplies being damp and inferior in quality. Freights—Tonnage continues scare, and our last quo tations have been sustained, of 80s. to 82s. 6d. to the Channel and British ports, and 83s. to 85s. Mediterra nean, calling at Gibraltar, 755. to 82s. 6d. Genoa direct, 80s. to 82s. 6d. to load at Paraiba, 85s. at Rio Grande de Norte, and 925. 6d. at Maceio (the last for " cases") to the Channel and United Kingdom. There are few disengaged vessels, but, with the present high prices de manded. for sugar, there is less demand for vessels, and the rates look flat. Exchange—About 100,0001. has been done for this mail, at 29d., 28id., 284 d., of which the greater part at 28id. Our rate closes at the lowest quotation. TVESTERN AUSTRALIA. The following is from a correspondent of the Times, dated— PERTH, W. A., FEB. 16. The sailing of the brig Jane, for Singapore, affords a chance of forwarding letters vid the overland mail, of which I gladly avail myself. Things in general in this colony are looking well. The advent of convicts, after nearly three years' experience, has been found to contribute more to the welldoing of the pockets of the settlers than detriment to their morals. There is no t telling, however, how berg this is to continue, as by the Dudbrooke, which arrived on the 7th with 200 odd convicts, the report is brought that we are to be honoured with the company of some Irish felons, who are to be conveyed hither from Cork by the Pyrenees. lam not certain whether the influx of a few ribandmen and tenant-right gentry would not have an unpleasant effect upon the existing peaceful state of affairs. The force at present for keeping those we have here already consists of not more than 200 enrolled pensioners and one com pany of the 99th Regiment —a force manifestly insuffi cient. The local Government has, however, bestirred itself in the matter, and steps are to be taken to organise a truly effective police, under the superintendence of Mr. J. Conroy, a nephew of Sir John Conroy, and who will receive a salary of 2001. and forage for three horses from the Home Government. The prospects to farmer emigrants held out in this colony are equal to those of any other part of Australia. ]i is now ranging from 28/. to 301. per ton (fine), and this, too, at the end of the harvest, and in spite of large importations from America pouring into the neigh bouring colonies. The crop this year of wheat was splendid, and the quantity on hand, kept back from last harvest in expectation of still higher rise, is considerable; yet flour at the present moment fetches the prices named above, and no fear of diminution when we see the num ber of people pouring into South Australia and Victoria from all parts of the world. The mining prospects of the colony are certainly im proving. The Geraldine, one of our local companies, have lately procured from England a mining captain and several miners, and have besides some 30 or 40 men (ticket-of-leaves and others) at work on their property, and which, from the report of the captain, appears to consist of • several very valuable lodes of lead, and capable of being easily worked. The great drawback to this undertaking has been the want of a passable road between the mine and Champion Bay, the port of ship ment. The local government promised to assist them in this particular, but as yet have not done so. Coal has also been discovered at Bunbury, a location about sixty miles to the southward of Perth, and near the settle ment of Australind, established by the late company of that name. The seam appears to be of good quality, and is near the sea, with a favourable place for loading, and an easy country to traverse. A company is on the tapis for working it. You good folks at home are, no doubt, fancying that we arc in the full enjoyment of the blessings of steam communication. The neighbouring settlements may be, but, as for us, we are worse off than before. We could then depend upon getting letters and papers from Eng land per sailing vessels, and by the Overland mail, via Singapore, in some reasonable time ; but now we stand in the same relation to the two steam companies —the Australian and the Peninsular and Oriental—as the bumpkin between two stools. Both companies eschew Swan River, calling with their mails and coaling at King George's Sound, instead of at Fremantle. /Cow, King George's Sound is very near as far off, or occupies very near as much time in communicating- with, as formerly 3o o miles le ft o . v e r T I a h n e d l t e h t r t e o r u s g h h a a v c e 0 u t 3 4 rbye which,broug ht Anger Poi n t—th e p l ace where our Overland mails were some the winter season, is not only dangerous, but at times, from swollen rivers, &c., absolutely impassable, and if sent up to Fremantle by sea, the dangers attendant upon rounding Cape Leuwin would prevent many bold sailors from attempting it. The result is, that we are in a worse plight as regards postal communication than before. As an instance, at the time of writing this part of my letter (Feb. 14) our latest news from England is to the 22d Nov., and that by means of a stray news paper from the Cape of Good Hope, received per steamer Melbourne, which called at King George's Sound on her way to Adelaide, &c., Jan. 23. The sub ject was brought forward at the late meeting of the Legislative Council by Mr. Marshal Waller Clifton, the late agent of the Australind Company, who mo ve d and carried a vote of 1,0001. towards repaying the expenses of whatever company should first make a rule to call at Fremantle with the mails, and also pledging the Govern ment to run out a jetty and provide other conveniences in the harbour for them. Surely it is the place of the Home Government to look to this, now that Fremantle is a large convict depot, and Western Australia has up wards of 1,300 convicts and ticket-of-leave men, and every likelihood of the number being doubled in 18 months. The gold mania has drawn off' a few from this colony to Melbourne and Adelaide, but not to any serious amount. Many of those who have gone have returned, and many more would be glad of the chance, if they had but the means, The Queen of the Netherlands, Dutch steamer, from Batavia, en route for Adelaide, put in at Fremantle for fuel on the 29th of January, and on her departure carried away a few naore of those infected with the yellow fever. We can well afford to stay at home. Growing corn for the market offered in Port Philip will be as good as a gold field in point of economy. We need not, however, give up all hopes of finding the precious metal in West ern Australia. It has been found here, and very lately, but not to such an extent as justified its being made public. Some few ounces were found in a quartz rock, in the northern district, in the eastern portion of the colony, and several of the returned diggers are out " prospecting ;" and I should not be surprised if in my next communication I had to announce the existence of an extensive geld field here. The party political matters of great moment here are not likely to be of such importance as you would render a chronicle of 'them interesting. I will merely state that at the last meeting of Council (in December), among other things, the Colonial Secretary (W. A.

Captain Sampson, master of this ill-fated steamer, has given the following statement of the circumstances under which she perished : I am under the painful necessity of reporting the loss of the steamer Independence, lately under my command, on her passage from San Juan del Sud to this port (San Francisco) and about one hundred and twenty-five lives, consisting of the passengers and fifteen of the crew. She was lost on the, island of Margarita, off the coast of Lower California. After leaving Acapulco, we experi enced strong breezes from N.W. to N. Passed Cape St. Lucas on the morning of the 15th of February. At 12 o'clock M. of the 15th, we were in lat. 23 04 N., long. 110 42 W.W., steering N.W. by W. W. per compass, intending to go to the westward of Margarita Island. On the morning of the 16th, at one o'clock a.m., made the main land to the eastward of the island, having been set in shore by the current. Altered the course to S.W. At two a.m. made the Island of Margarita, the south point bearing W. by S. per compass ; then altered the course to W.S.W. I intended to give the point a berth of three miles, but owing to a haze over the land I was deceived in the dis tance. At 15 minutes past five, just as day was begin ning to break, she struck on a sunken reef extending off the south point of the island, about a mile from the shore. The sea was very smooth at the time, not break ing on the reef at all. Backed the engine, and she came off ; examined the hold, and found that she was rapidly filling ; knew that I would have to beach her to keep her from sinking ; got a sail over the bow (under her) to try to stop the leak, and set a gang of men to work at each hatchway baling, and ran along the west side of the island, close in, to ffnd a good place to put her ashore. Told the engineer to.let me know five minutes before the water would be up high enough to put outthe fires. When we had run about four miles the engineer came up and reported the water nearly up to the fires, and that they would be extinguished in a few minutes. Put the helm bard a-port, and ran her ashore in a small cove on the south-west side of the island, head on. Lowered a boat, and sent the mate and two men in her to run a line ashore to the beach, which was about 100 yards distant, but the boat broached-to and was swamped in the surf. Lowered another boat, and sent three men in her with another line, which they succeeded in getting ashore. I now ascertained that the ship was on fire. Told the en gineer to take his men and put out the fire if possible. Ordered the other two boats to be lowered, and to come forward, and the women and children to come to the forward gangway. Loaded both boats with women and and children and sent them ashore. The ship had now swung round broadside on. The mate and two men came off with the boat that took the line ashore, and she was immediately loaded with women and children, and went ashore with them. The fire originated with the furnaces. It was necessary, after the steamer struck on the reef, to use wood and boards for fuel, in order to keep up steam until she struck on the beach, when the water was so high as to stop the draft from the lower flues, which forced open the furnace-doors, and the flames rushed out and caught the wood-work in the fire-room, and also round the smoke-stack, thence spreading very rapidly. Every effort was made to get the fire under, but of no avail. The flames were now coming up from the hatchways, fire-room, engine-room, ventilators, and around the smoke-stack. Everything was consternation and dismay—the people seemed completely bewildered, and were jumping overboard by dozens. The scene was perfectly horrible and indescribable —men, women, and children, screeching, crying, and drowning. I ordered, the spars, hatches, and tables, and all that would float, to be thrown overboard, which was done, and they were immediately covered with people. About an hour after the ship struck the beach she was in a perfect sheet of flame, and there was no one on board of her except one of the coal passers named Beaumont, and myself. The smoke-stack had fallen, and the promenade dock forward had tumbled in ; the flames were coming out of the side lights, and it was impos sible to stay on board any longer. A boat came off from the shore with two of the deck hands in her. Beaumont, who was near the fore-rigging, jumped into her, and I jumped overboard, swam to her, and commenced picking up those who were afloat. After 'picking up three boat loads, Thomas Heron, the steward, succeeded in launch ing another boat and saving some of the people. When all that were alive had been picked up, and some of the baggage, I landed, and had the spars which had drifted ashore hauled up into a ravine, and with one old sail that had washed ashore made a tent large enough to shelter the women and children. The ship was still in flames, so that it was impossible for any one to board her. I gave the mate and engineer orders to have the dead taken up above high-water mark and buried, and to board the wreck as soon as possible, and save all the boatprov i a si n o d ns fo a u n r d in w e a n t , e a r nd th a a t t they could. artedtopull roluntdhetnhetonok north end of the island to Magdalena Bay, in search of as sistance, expecting to find some ships there.

After pulling an hour and a half, I discovered a vessel close in to the main land ; pulled for and reached her at eleven o'clock a.m.; found her to be the schooner A. Emery, Capt. Gordon. The captain and most of the crew were ashore, looking for water ; set a signal, and they came on board. Capt. Gordon said that he had been in the bay five days, and that there was no other vessel in 'the bay.

Arrived abreast of the wreck at two p.m., having been gone from there 51 hours. The surf was breaking very heavily, making it dangerous to land. The mate came down on the beach, and said that the passengers had gone across the island, and that I had While at work getting provisions from the wreck, we saw a steamer bound down the coast about six miles distant. We made signals for her, but she did not notice them. Launched a boat and took men in, and attempted to get off to speak her, but the surf, which was breaking very heavily at the time, swamped the boat and broke one of the oars, and when I reached the shore again I was so much exhausted that I could not make another attempt. After getting all the provisions that had been saved, which occupied two days, I chartered the ship Meteor, Captain Jeffries, to take us all to San Francisco. to sail as soon as the vessel could be made ready. While the ship was being fitted I took a boat and crew from the ship Ome ga , which lay off and on the island on the look out for a steamer, hoping to speak owe on her passage up and get some assistance from her, but none came in sight of us. On the 3d of March, everything being ready and the passengers all on board (except a few who chose to go to the Sandwich Islands in the other ships), we sailed for this port. I was on the larboard paddle-box when the steamer struck, and had been on deck the whole night. If the steamer had not taken fire not a soul would have been lost, for they could all have been landed safely if there had been time. The reef upon which the steamer struck is about two miles long, making off in a south-easterly direction, and is not laid down in any of the charts that I have ever Too much cannot be said in favour of the humane conduct and kind treatment received from Captain J. Fisher and officers of the ship Omega, Captain Whd don, of the ship James Mau r y ; C apta i n J effries, of the ship Meteor ; Captain Lane, of the barque Clements ; and Captain Gordon, of the schooner A. Emery, who promptly came to our relief as soon as they heard of our situation, and rendered us all the assistance, and made us as comfortable as possible during our stay in the bay. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVAL OF TIIE Simoom.—The Simoom, screw-fri gate, Captain Kingcome, has arrived in the Channel from Canada, with the 57th Regiment, and will probably land the troops at Deal or Dover. The arrival of this ship has thus effectually contradicted the cruel and absurd rumours of her total lose. MEN OF WAR FOR SALE.—The Admiralty have or dered the following steam-vessels to be put up for sale : —Merlin, Medusa, and Medina, steam-packets, lately employed in the Mediterranean packet service, and for merly on the Holyhead packet station; and Jasper and Pigmy, old steam-packet ; and Dwarf, screw. The Lap wing, old 10-gun brig, is also to be sold. The first three are at Woolwich, the next four are at Deptford, and the last is at Deptford. They are to be offered for sale on the 31st inst. PORTSMOUTH, MAT 17. The First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir James Graham, Bart., having been on a visit to her Majesty at Osborne yesterday, went on board the Fairy yacht this morning (incog.), and passed through Spithead. In the afternoon Sir James steamed up the harbour to look at the old York convict-hulk (placed up the lake as a target for the Excellent), and went back again to Osborne at four p.m. We believe Sir James returns to town to-morrow morn ing. - The Commander-in-Chief, Sir Thomas John Cochrane, went to Spithead this morning in the Queen, Master Commander W. F. Paul, to inspect the Sanspereil, 71, screw, Captain Dacres. The admiral returned into har bour at 5 p.m. The Black Eagle, Master Commander John E. Petley, left this port last evening, having received a party on board that arrived from London by train; and went away by to the westward. _..• The Dauntless, 24 (screw), Captain Edward P. Hal sted, is stripped to the stumps, is entirely cleared out, and will pay off on Thursday. The Star, 8, Commander Wa rren , rece i ve d a d vance wages to-d. at Spithead. She sails for Brazils, to be under the orders of Rear-Admiral Henderson, C.B. The Plumper, 9, screw.—We believe the order for commissioning this vessel will be countermanded. She will be rigged and fitted and held in reserve. The Sprightly, Master Commander Allen, took Sir Frederick Smith and engineering party to Sconce's Point this morning, to inspect the works now in progress. The Sprightly returned into harbour at 5.30. The Odin, 16 (paddle), Captain Francis Scott, received her powder and shells on board to-slay at Spithead. The New York line-of-packet-ship American Eagle arrived at Spithead this morning, and, having embarked her passengers, sailed with a f air w i n d d own Channel at 3.30 p.m. SHEERNESS, Mir 17. The Comus, 14-gun sloop, Commander W. A. Fel lowes, Mr. Jon Ward (a), surgeon, 11th of October, 1 1851 has this day taken up his commission to this sloop. Se%ten able seamen belonging to the Waterloo have ob tained petty officers' ratings to this sloop, and been permitted to volunteer for her. By the Admiralty regu lations, no seaman serving in any of her Majesty's ships in commission is permitted to volunteer, except for par ticular service, for any other ship, unless lie shall have made such progress in seamanship as to entitle him to a superior rating in the ship he may be willing to volun teer for. The Comus has received her full complement. of boys, who have been draughted from the Waterloo here. Her marines and seamen gunners are daily ex pected to join. For the want of hands she is progressing very slowly in her equipment. The Barracouta, 6, paddlewheel steam-sloop, Com mander George Parker, has taken in an extra quantity of coals from the coal depot Fortitude here, and is now riding at the Nore waiting the arrival of Captain Ingle field's expedition from Woolwich, which she will accom pany to the ice. The Archer, 14, screw steam-sloop, Commander J. N. Strange, has left here for Woolwich, for a survey being held on her machinery and boilers, in order to ascertain her seaworthy state for accompanying Captain Ingle field's expedition to the ice with the Barracouta. The Archer's boilers are reported to be in a very defective state at present, and it is expected she will be paid off at 'Woolwich. ' The steam-sloop Phoenix, Captain Inglefield.—The seamen volunteers from different ships composing the Channel squadron, who have volunteered for service on this expedition (on which she is about to proceed), have arrived here, and were sent on board the Barracouta yesterday at the Nore. These seamen will complete the full complement required for the Phoenix. WOOLWICH, MAY 17. APPOINTMENTS. Acting Assistant-Surgeons—Thomas R. Warren (1853) to the Comus, 14, sloop, at Sheerness ; Fleet wood Churchill (1853) to the Nerbudda, 12, brig, at Chatham. Clerk—William Horniman (1845), at present serving► as clerk in charge of the Tyne store-ship, to be clerk in the Tribune, 30, screw steam-frigate, commissioned at Woolwich, The Archer steam-sloop, Commander Strange, went down the river yesterday afternoon, having Mr. Ather ton, Chief Engineer at Woolwich Dockyar, on board, to witness the state and working of her engines, and it will depend on his report whether she will be kept ill commission or paid off, in the event of her repairs occu pying some time. The Terrible steam-frigate will be commissioned about the 20th :nst, and all the boys at present entered in the Fisgard flag-ship at this port are to be turned over to her, and they appear gratified with the prospect of serving in that fine frigate. Upwards of 1,500 visitors went over the dockyard yesterday, and upwards of 1,000 to-day ; the Royal Albert, 131, now nearly ready for launching, was a great object of attraction to them. The piles for carrying out the necessary ways for the launch of this splendid screw steam-ship-of-war have already been driven to seine dis tance into the river, and the dredging machines are still at work in the basin to deepen it for her reception when launched.
