Henry Carmichael's Pamphlet on New South Wales, N!herein h e o b serves—. " Th ere are at presen t i n Sydney three Joint Stock Banking Companies in operation, with a paid - up capital of abut 80,0001. each ; which divide a profit ninually of from 20 to 25 per cent. His Excellency Sir James Stirling also, in his recent work on Western Australia, says, in allusion to the Western Bank of Australia, " The second half-year left clear profit over the e enditure of 14 and a half per cent. , which, a f ter setting aside 00 .fifth as an accumulating fund, dividend to an existing rule, enabled the Direc tors to declare a 'ivtdend of 11 and a half per cent. on the paid-up capital ; at e close of the year no dishonoured bill remaining on hand, nor l'ad the Solicitor of the Bank to commence a single suit for the recovery of a debt due to it." f Tbo Directors have for some time been mak'ng arrangements ,'" immediately carrying into effect the objects of the Corn ireall,3'; and in order:. o advance the influence of the Bank in the , s ' .3l °"lies, they have reserved a portion of the shares for distri bution there. As the principal part of the business must necessarily be ear ned on in the C o l o ni es , it has been thought. inexpedient to lave a numerous Board of Directors in London : it has there fore been determined that - the number. shall not at any time exceed to i ; but to secure the prudent administration of the affairs of the Bank, a complet e s y s t em o f su p er i n t en d ence i s no;v being organized by the Directors for the Establishments in the Colonies. Dim As.tattlicient capital ha s a lr ea dy b een su b scr ib e d to ena bl e the ors to commence business immediately. They have therafore resolv e d, i n or d er to avo id t h e inconvenience which has been found to arise in other undertakings from an unre stricted application of shares, and to induce only those to apply who wilt to become berm fide proprietors, not to entertain any applcation unless made in the printed forms provided by them for that purpose, and accompanied by a payment of 21. upon each share applied for, the Directors reserving to themselves, at the time of appropriation, the right to reject or comply with such 'application, either in whole or in part, the money to he returned if the application be rejected, and to be placed to the credit of the party in respect of the shares allotted to him if accepted. For the guidance of those who may wish to become proprie tors, it may be mentioned, that it is not in contemplation to call up voore than 101. per share for the next twelve months. The Directors have postponed filling up the London Board to the full number of ten, in order to give them the opportunity of selecting influential proprietors, whose assistance and co oPeration they may think it advisable to secure for the interests of the concern ; power is reserved to them for that p ur p ose, Inad they are also authorized to complete all other arrangements necessary for putting the Company into immediate operation.

NORRIS'S DROPS are a certain remedy for Fevers, Colds, Influenza, and all Diseases . that arise from obstructed perspiration. The Medicine here recom- Imended to the Practitioner and the Public is composed of articles llowa to be the most anti putrescent, combined with the ingredient no.vn to the profession, as the only certain antidote for Fevers of ey 'rY description. When the disease is produced either from cold, ob struction, bad air, swampy and damp situations, or putrid miasma, whether maligrant or epidemic, or by other causes, this medicine is certain in its operation and effects, it produces the most gentle and sal utary perspiration, and by a specific qu a lity, p ecu li ar to i tse lf , not te l l expels the disease, but re,tores and invigorates the system. celebrated Drops have had the unbiassed testimonies to their P variable effects, of numbers of the nobility, gentry, and medical Men of this Kingdom, and the extensive demand for them from the heldlndie and America, prove that in those c o un t a i es t h ey are l in equal estimation.

About 11 o'clock on Tuesday sight a man and his wife, of the name of Jarvis, residing in one of the cottages in the immediate neighbourhood of the place where the mur der was committed, were apprehend, d on suspicion of being concerned in the horrible transaction. They were conveyed to the station-house at Islington, where they were kept in safe custody the whole night. Yesterday morning, shout six o'clock, another man, named Gould, was taken sato custody, in consequence of information ree,:ived by he police, implicating him in the murder. At about half-past ten o'clock yesterday, tslie three pri soners were conveyed from Islington to the Pol,ee office in Hatton garden, for examination before the Magistrates. They were handcuffed together, and as they mar, bed along the streets were followed by u large crowd of persons. The night charges at the Police-office having been dis posed of, the three prisoners were placed at the bar. Gould is a tolerably good-looking young fellow, about 20 years of age; Jervis and his wife are older; they all appear like persons who gain their livelihood by hard labour. A Mrs. Allen was the first witm ss examined. She said that the prisoner Gould had occasionally lodged at her house for some time past. Lately lie had been in the habit of sleeping there once a week. He always went to bed very early. On Monday night last he was to sleep there, hut instead of coming in at his usual time, he did not snake his appearance until about three o'clock in the morning. At that time he went to bed. Early in the morning the witness saw him washing, or endeavouring in -oine way to remove what appeared to be stains from his trousers: This took place in the wash-house. Mr. Miller, an inspector of police, was next called.— He said that in consequence of some suspicion he enter tained, he went to the cottage in which Gould was stay ing. Gould was in bed. He told him to get up, for he wanted him. Gould asked him what he wanted, and whether he bad got a warrant 1,.r his apprehension, for, said he, " I expect one." He searched the prisoner, and found 9s. in silver in hii trousers pocket, awd seven lucifer matches in his waistcoat, and on taking him to the watch house found a new pair of shoes on his feet. fitness then sent a sergeant to search the cottage; and he found near 51. in money, and some garments stained with blood. The velvet waistcoat now produced, belonging to the prisoner, was also marked with blood, and one part of is was burst. In answer to a question witness said he took Jervis into custody because in his house a bag was found containing a shirt which appeared to have been soiled with blooy hands. The prisoner Gould told him he had thrown away his old shoes. On searching the cottage where Gould was apprehended a cotton stocking and cloth cap were found. Several other wi,nesses were examined, but their evidence was net important. Mr. COOMBE then asked Gould whether he wished to say anyhing 'Gm;ld-L - Ithink it is as well to stop till all the evidence is gone into. John Jarvis said—l can only say that I knelt nothing of the circumstances until I returned home at night. Mrs. Jarvis said—There weie only one or two persons outside the cottage when my husband returned home. Mr. COOMBE said he would remand all the prisoner's for further evidence; but there was already sufficient to bind the witnesses examined over to appear to prosecute them at t'le Central Criminal Court, which was accordingly done ; and the prisoners were taken from the bar and locked up. They were eventually take 3 off in a van amidst a crowd of spectators. It is lout justice to state that Francis Capriani, the Frenchman, who was. remanded on Tuesday, was brought up early in the morning, and discharged without imputa tion. An inquest was held on the body last night, but no new facts were brought to light. The inquiry was adjourned to Monday next. ORDER OF KNIGHTS OF SAINT DAVID. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) At the present moment, when the institution of an Order of Knighthood for the principality of Wales occupies so prominent a place among the topics of the day, the following extract from Planche's " Loyal Records" may not be uninte- resting : " Another word whilst upon the subject of Walcs. The Guelphic Order being a Hanoverian decora tion, and consequently no longer at the disposal of the Sovereign of Great Britain, it has been rumoured that her Majesty will probably institute some new order of Knighthood in its place. In such a case we would most humbly recommend to' her Majesty's gracious consideration the claims of a British Saint and Champion who has been sadly overlooked. Here we have St. George and " The Most Noble Order of the Garter," for England ; St. Andrew, with " The Most Ancient Order" of the Thistle ,for Scotland - ; and St. Patrick, with his " Most Illustrious Order," for Ireland ; btit Wales, the fourth gem of the British Crown---that gives a title to its heir—that gave a title to the I3lr.ck Prince ; the land of Arthur and Llewellyn,the country of the Bards, the soil of the Royal Tree of Tudor; has not only been excluded from representation in the arms of every British Sovereign since Eliza beth, but her Patrod 'Saint has been denied the honours of chivalric fellowship, which have beep lavished on many other holy and renowned cham pions of Christendom." With regard to the Guelphic Order above alluded to, its preamble states t hat it has been instituted " to reward faithful servants of the State, intAriduals de voted to his Maje Sty's exalted person, Ngtiquishel services to - the country, and the undoubted proofs, of unshaken fidelity and attachment shown by all claswtt of our beloved German 'subjects, partieetilorly thci never-to-be-forgotten fame obtained at tin, battle d Waterloo," &c. Now, surely, if the above qualifications. are to be considered as forming a claim to Royal notice, few. of her Majesty's subjects can assert a stronger title to this honourable distinction than the - natives of \Vales. Whether we look to their unshaken loyalty at home, or their bravery in the field, from the 'ar duous and protracted struggle of the Peninsulit.to the fierce and decisive conflict of Waterloo, no Where shall we find more illustrious instances of devoted ness and valour than amongst the Welsh. At the last-named battle, so well established was the high character of one of the heroes of Cambria in the mind of his formidable antagonist, that on the morn ing of that day one of Napoleon's first inqui ries was, "On est la division de Picton ," The Order of Knighthood having been granted to the lonian Isles, it is doubly singular that it should have been left for our present Queen to notice the lost • augmentation .of territory by the Crown of England instituting the famous order of &t. David, and to her Majesty's honour it will ever redound, whether instituted on her nuptials or on the birth of a Prince of Wales. It is unaccountable how the arms of the Principality happen to he omitted in the Royal escutcheon with those of England, and also how it is that the Red Dragon, the an cient banner of the Princes of \Vales, has been for gotten in the State processions of the late reign, especially as Henry VII. instituted the heraldic degree of Iton.):,e Dragon expressly 'to commemo rate the victorious standard of Bosworth. EFFECT OF THE NEW POSTAGE ARRANGEMENTS ON THE NUMBER OF LETTERS. • At the Statistical Society on Monday evenin !, a corn municatkon from Mr. Rowland Hill on this subject was read. It consisted of a series of estimates based upon the returns which have just been laid on the table of the House of Commons. The returns were stated to give the number of letters delivered from the several Post offices of the United Kingdom, according to an account taken libr three separate weeks ; the first before the re• duction, the second during the operation of the four parny, and the third during the penny rate. The totals for these Reeks (including franks during the two first) were stated to be as follows : Week ending 24th Nov., 1839, 1,585,973 letters. 22d Dec., 1839, 2,008,687 do. 23d Feb., 1840, 3,190,637 do. Deducting franks, the numbers of the week of November, become 1,450,873, and of the week of the fouroenny rate, 1,874,587. In order to estimate the increase on general -post letters, the letters of the old penny-posts, and of the London twopen )y-post, where a small re duction only was made, should be deducted. From an), examination of the whole account, it :tpreared t 1 r't un.4n. the 4d. rate letters of all kinds inocnsed 29 per cent.; and under the Id. rate, 121 per cent. ; or, de,- ducting the Government letters, 117 pe# cent. The greatest increase, under both the 4d. and Id. rates, hats taken place in Scotland. Under the 4d, tate, tire chargeable general-post letters increased 40 per cent., and under the Id. rate, 169 per cent., or, d.-eluding the Government letters, 165 per cent. In London, the communication stated, that the district unpaid letters a veraged about one in sev en, whilst those of the gen e _ ral.post were about one in thirteen.—Morning ch On 'Tuesday forenoon the 'body of a respectable cle'ssed lad, about sixteen years of age, was discovered floating o .:th e Thames, near St. George's stairs, Deptford.

She bas just examined the prison in this city for youthful criminals, with the religion and moral in struction of the children in which, having conversed a long time with the members of the Board, she could not refrain expressing her eatisfactien, and an ardent wish to see in troduced into her own country, an institution, the first ex ample of which was given to Europe by our country. BELGIUM,. MARCH 15.—After three days' debate the Belgian Chamber of Representatives decided, by a ma jority of 42 to 38, that the amount of the pay of General Van der Smissen should be struck out of the Budget. According to a statement in the Ministerial Independent of the 4th, at eight o'clock in the evening all the Ministers, immediately after the Clamber broke up, held a Council, and then tendered their resignation to King Leopold.

Yesterday a meeting was held at the Court Ilouse, Osborne street, Whitechapel, pursuant to advertisement, fer the purpose of preparing a petition to Parliament for the total repeal of the Corn-laws. A small party of Chartists were stationed in different parts of the Court. Mr. MARTINEAU was called to the chair, ar,d stated, at considerable length, the objects of the meeting. Air. COATES proposed a resolution to the effect—" That the imposition of prohibiting duties on Corn inflicts a heevy urden upon all who live by their labour, whether thLt Labour he agricultural or manufacturing." Mr. FARY seconded the resolution. A Chartist, named SAVAGE, n proposing an amendment, said he th tested the Corn-laws as mid and unjust, but their repeal without an equal adjustment of the funded dt-bt—( Hisses, and cries of " Bravo," and " Oh, oh")-- and the enfranchisement of the whole male population of the age of 21, and untainted by crime—( Loud huzzas)— culd be of no advantage to the working men, but tend still further to oppress and degrade them.—(Great con fusion.) Two Chartists then successively addressed the meeting, and were followed by Mr. E. F. Young, late Member of Parliament for Tynemouth, and by Mr. Gregg, the lec turer against the Corr-laws. Mr. Laurence, My. Offer, and Mr. Michael Scales, severally addressed the meeting, but the uproar was in cessant, and only detached fragments of wbat they uttered could be heard. _ . yV The amendment was then put, and about fifty hands were held up for it, and the original resolution was sup ported by a very decided majority. The triumph , as it appeared to be considered by the inhabitants of the Tower Hamlets, was received with loud buzzrzs. Dr. Lushington and Mr. Clay both advanced to the front of the hustings, and the Doctor endeavoured to ad dress the meeting; but a sturdy red-headed Chartist " breasted" him, amid a scene of uproar which is inde scribable ; and having patiently awaited for the abatement of the storm for upwards of ten minutes, and no symptom airs calming down being visible, the Hon. Members made their bow, and withdrew at five o'clock. Resolutions were then agreed to for the abolition of the Corn laws, to be presented to the House of Commons by Dr. Lushington and Mr. Clay. Thanks were voted to the Chairman amidst tremendous uproar, and the gentlemen on the platform left the meet ing, the Chartists contending that they had the " best of the day," although their amendment was not carried. The patent spectacles, manufactured by M r . E . Solomons, No. 36, Old Bond-street, and 10, Old Jewry, City, rank in importance among the greatest of modern inventions, which is of the greatest importance to the public, in conse quence of their improving and preserving the sight, and their being of less specific gravity than any others, will be found highly advantageous to all persons having a determination of blood to the head or eyes. Their great efficacy is most satis factorily authenti cated by the concurrent testimony of thousands of living witness es of the first respectability in thi s an d th e sister kingdom ; added to which, the documentary proofs sub mitted through the medium of the daily Journals, decidedly es tablish Mr. Solomons reputation as an optician an d sc i ent ifi c man. His voice conductors, recently invented, are t h e most powerful instrume nts hitherto discovered for defective hearing. Deaf persons are enabled, from their minute construction (being only of an inch in diameter), to wear them entirely unseen ; they aro inserted and removed with the greatest facility. B Y their use musical sounds, and the lowest whisper breathed at public assembly, vibrate on the organs of hearing in such a pleasant manner as to afford the greatest relief to those afflicted with the distressing ailment of deafness. Owing to parties of the same name fraudulently advertising spectacles as " newly invented," the public attention is particularly directed to the address of the above establishments. COWES, MARCH 17.—The Earl of Durham who has been severely ill, is slowly recovering, and has been recommended to try the sea air ; and wo hear it is his Lord ship's intention to take up his residence at Cowes early in the Spring.

Sir Robert reel in the Chair. After " Qdeen," " Prince Albert," " The Queen Dowager* aLd the rest of the Royal Family." " The Army," The i Navy," were severally given, Major Oliphant and Rear-4. 1 Ad.niral Young respectively responding to the last toasts, The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Success to the men's Hospital and the Committee of Management th OSA - cf." He was convinced that it could be nothinu but it4no ranee of the objects and end of the Society which cann;d have prevented a much more ample contribution to Its fund. The Society had been founded nearly twenty r•ars ego, for the purpose of giving relief to those seamen v,iv. wera suffering from disorders, of whatever character st , :„ might be, and within the limits of the means of the Ite tution there was no restriction, provided the patient er.,ri sailor, and suffering under indisposition. In every Air:ir case a home and medical attendance were provided. and it might be truly said that the Corporation wag. lanaed on the principles of universal and unrestricted henc svolence.—( Cheers.) Since its establishment newly 50,000 seamen, of all countries, had received relief; and in the course of the last year no fewer than 3,94.4 persons, employed in the trade to the port of Lontiorn had benefited by it.—(Hear, hear.) Thew facts wee known to the company present, but he vv`as sure that iV they were generally communicated to the public, and more particularly to those merchants who had in some degree laid the foundation of their fortunes and pro l oarit .7 upon the commercial navy of this country, much more litre rartcontributions to the funds of the society would be se cured. A meeting like that assembled in the city , of Le t !_ don could not take place without giving a great Ftinaulus tra the affairs cf the institution.

LITLITEItA uitE. HISTORY OF THE HUGUENOTS. Whianker, London, 1840 The work before us forms the second Number of the " Popular Library of Modern Authors," and is from the pen of Mr. Browning. it is a history of the Re formed Church from the earliest period to the present times, and, among other curious matiers, gives the ful -I..st details we have yet.met with, of the atrocious mas• sacres of St. Bartholomew, which surpassed in horror even the worst excesses of the Reign of Terror. The work has long been popular, and the present is merely republictstion of it ; we need not, therefore, enlarge on the subject, further than to recommend it to the atten tion of those who would wish to get an insight into the ►:.onstrcus frauds and cruelties that have been practised undor the name of religion. LIVES OF THE QUEENS OF ENGLAND, Vol. ll.—dlburn, London, 1840. This volume commences with the Life of Berengaria, Queen of Richard the First, and concludes with that of Anne of Bohemia, who was the first wife of Richard the Second. Miss Strickland, the authoress, has shown great extent of research in her task, having carefully compiled her biographies from official records and other r.uthentic documents, private as well as public, not a few of which have never been investigated till now. The most entertaining life—a';. least the one which must bounds in curious matters of information—is that of Queen Berengaria, in which a novelist, like Mr. James, might find some excellent materials for the purpose of romance. By way of frontispiece, the volume coutai`ns en engraving representing the worthy consort- of our lion-hearted Richard received at Acre by . Phillip Augustus of France. POEMS OF CHIVALRY, 4-c. Smith and Elder, London, 1840. " The, age of chivalry," says Burke, "is gone ;" and he taste for poems of chivalry has, - we tear, gone too. We therefore cannot anticipate much popularity for this unassuming little volume of verse, yet it contains many pleasing thoughts expressed in bartnon:otts language. LECTURES ON BURKE AND MILTON. We have now before us two Lectures delivered at several of the Metropolitan Literary Institutions, by a gentleman named Fry (of Lincoln's Inn), upon the characters and writings of those two illustrious lumina ries of English literature, our Homer and our Der:los t/iv:es—the one the very genius of sublime intellect, the other the rising sun of senatorial eloquence. We have a high opinion of the beneficial effects which mutt be produced by the diffusion, in a popular form, through the medium of these institutions, of the influence of such master spirits of our language ; and the Lecturer has wel accomplished this object. Most heartily do we rejoice, especially in the laudable attempt to rescue from absurd malignity or ignorant neglect the trazni ficcot prose of Milton—bursting as it is, with noble and - elevated thought, and enriched by the same gorgeous imagination which sheds so imposing a lustre over his poetry. OLYMPIC THEATRE. Mr. Butler is certainly a most indefatigable caterer for the amusement of his patrons. He last night produced another new (and, we had almost said, of course) suc cessful drama at this elegant little theatre. The title of the new piece is The Muse and Merchant. The scene is laid at Nantes. The folliya ing is a sketch of the plot :—Edward Evan (Mr. Hal!), a clerk in the counting-house of his uncle Monr. Pigalt (Mr. Brookes), a merchant, is more devoted to the service of the muse than of the merchant, and is, in consequence, constantly committing errors in his accounts, from the consequences of which he is frequently saved by the attention and kindness of his cousin Rose (Miss Fit zwalter). He, however, despises her, as being absolutely without en thtssiasin. A cheque is missing for a considerable amount—it had been confided to Edward. He can not account for it, and is given into custody on suspicion of having stolen it. All condemn him except Rose, and then, for the first time, he appreciates the ' sterling qualities of her head and heart. At length it ;s discovered that in a poetic fit he had written a sonnet ' on the back, of the check, and sent it to a periodical for insertion. • 'lbis explanation of course clears his charac ter, and on his promise to give up the muse, the mer chant rewards him with the hand of Rose. Mr. Hall is new to this theatre ; he is, however, likely to prove an exceedingly useful actor. Miss Fitzwalter is entitled :o great praise ; she exhibited, last evening, a pathos and a feeling, for the possession of which we hid not pre viously given her credit ; and, by her ac:ins . J.,, contributed . materially to the success of the piece. Mr. G.Wild, as ;dieter Slop, an American merchant. relieved the graver parts of the drama very agreeably by his humorous delineation of the peculiarities. of the American cha racter. The Ladies' Club followed, to the chair of which Mrs. Stirling has been elected since the secession of Mrs. Glover. A more worthy sue ' eessor could not have been chosen, arid we Congra tulate Mr. Butler in having secured the services of one of the most lady-like actresses of the day. In a little drama which followed, entitled Love and Charity, the veisatile talents of Mrs. Stirling were brought well into p'ay. Her delineation of. Phoebe Pop, a charity girl, is qne of the most exquisitely rich pieces of quiet humour we have ever witnessed. The Gentleman in and french. Polish concluded the evening's riacusement.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. am surprised to see in your Monday Evening Edition of The Sun, that you, so far from usinz your en. deavours to support the religion of your country, rather try to make that, which is alone tht support of this country, the subject of ridicule. I see with deep regret that you have conde3cended to cony from the Sunday Times an article which is headed " Observance of th, Sabbath"—un article which is calcu lated to do an immense deal of injury to the minds of =Tins Christians. Remember to keep the Sabbath-day holy ; end we pray each Sabbath that God would " incline our hearts to keep it holy." Let me remind you of the responsibility of your station; to you is entrusted the means of diffusing good or evil— religion or sin. Pray excuse these remarks, if they be thought at all at all severe, and consider that they come from one who has his Redeemer's cause at heart. Believe me, yours with respect, AN OCCASIONAL READER. Cambridge, Tuesday. [We willingly insert this letter, because it evidently comes from a Christian without guile. Would that we could say the same of all those who make such unmeaning noise about the strict o bservance of . the Sabbath, an d to whom we have been invariably opposed, for the best of all reasons, because they confound the very esaence of religion and morality with the observance of a particular day. Th e i r religion is directly opposed to the law laid down by our Saviour, and history proves that in place of promoting mo rality it promotes vice and an utter disregard of true reli. g i on . Cromwell and the Saints of his time were strict ob ,ervers of the Sabbath—they murdered Charles andl., paved the way for the licentiousness of the reign of Charles I.] • fr In I ' !This day is published, in Bvo.
