HYAM now stands, Fir his " Paletot Shooting-coat," known in all la;ds ; Enveloped in these, it soon will be found, That the wind and the rain fall powerless around. For warmth, style, and freedom, none such can be got, Just wear one—you soot wit be reckoned a " shot." Then sportsmen of England, appreciate well, One who pleases so much, and who strives to excel For that is the cause why the journals express Such very great faith in his prime shooting dress. Fulfil then your wishes—your pleasures complete, By a call at the Mart, 36, Graceckurch-street. The stock is unvaried, you can't lack success, In equipping yourself in a " good shooting Dress."

BRITISH POSSESSIONS IN EUROPE, AFRICA, ASIA, AND AUSTRALIA CONNECTED WITH ENGLAND BY THE INDIA AND AUSTRALIA MAIL STEAM PACKET COMPANY. Prepared at the request of the Committee by the Author of the " History of the British Colonies." This brochure, whieh has been most carefully com piled by Mr. Montgomery Martin, and which is de dicated to the Earl of Clarendon, gives a succinct account of the different colonial dependencies of the British Empire, between which and the mother country the Indian and Australian Mail Steam packet Company will open more frequent communi cations. The royal charter incorporated the company for the conveyance of mails, transport of troops, pas sengers, specie, goods, and merchandise to and from Great Britain the East Indies, Austra lasia, and New Zealand, and to other intermediate ports or places." The powers of the company, there fore, extend across the glebe from north-west to south-east, over 180 degrees of longitude and 100 degrees of latitude, on a line 13,000 miles in length. Their object is to establish a weekly postal commu nication with India, taking en route Gibraltar, Malta, the lonian Isles, Alexandria, Suez, Aden (from whence a steam communication will probably be opened with the islands of Seychelles an d th e Mauritius), and so on to Bombay,Madras, and C a lcutta, taking en route between Bombay and Calcutta, the island of Ceylon. From Ceylan the line goes through the Straits of Malacca to Penang and Singapore, from whence it goes to Batavia. From hence two lines of communication are opened with Australia; the one goes to Port Essington, of the north coast of New Holland (from whence a steam communication could be easily opened with New Guinea, an island the colonization of which Mr. Montgomery Martin strenuously advocates), and frcm thence to Moreton Bay and Sydney ; another goes direct from Batavia to the Swan River. From Sydney there is to be a direct steam communication witt. New Zealand and with Van Diemen's Land ; while from the latter island there is to be a line to Port Philip, South Australia, and West Australia, or Swan River, thus establishing a complete and perfect steam communi cation between all the British Australian colonies, the most important as well as the most interesting colo nies of the British empire. In speaking of these magnificent possessions, Mr. Montgomery Martin says— " After an examination of nearly all the colonies of England, that New South Wales is the proudest monument of the Christian civilizatioe of our country. Founded with the refuse of gaols and prisons, peopled originally by the lowest class of emigrants, planted at the Antipodes as if ashamed of the outcasts, and afraid of their moral pestilence, yet has this extraordinary colony become the centre of a new empire in the southern hemisphere, from which all the blessings of Britain will radiate to millions yet unborn; and future ages will contemplate with admiration and reverence the nation that gave the criminal time to repent before he went to his final judgment; turned the erring sinner from his way, and held forth the prospect to him of a useful, nay, happy life; that with such means peopled the desert, and raised a monument to the glory of God by the dissemination of His word among the isles of the south, and amidst myriads who shall yet revere his name. " South Australia, of which Adelaide is the capital, is another illustration of the rapid progress of British colonization in this part of the globe. In 1836 South Australia was hunted over by a few migratory savages, and depasturated by herds of kangaroos; notwithstand ing some early unfortunate proceedings, its improvement has been little short of marvellous. The colony is situated on the south coast of New Holland, between the 26th degree of south lat. and the sea-coast, and the 132 d and the 141st degrees of east long. This area ex tends over 300,000 square miles, i. e. nearly 200,000,000 acres of land—about double the size of Great Britain and Ireland. _ .... ___. " The province is remarkable for its park-like scenery; one-third is estimated as good open agricultural or pas: vad-ilmtinsa_yet well adapted Adelaide, Pera, and Gwalior plains, a plough might be driven 12 or 14 miles without a single obstruction. " The harbour of Port Adelaide is an inlet from the sea; it is nearly eight miles in length, and will accom modate a large amount of shipping. Captain Stokes, R.N., calls it a natural dock. Ships of 500 or 600 tons can always pass the bar in safety. " Two great inland seas indent the coast; Spencer's Gulf on the west, and St. Vincent's on the east; each being separated by a long and narrow neck of land termed York's Peninsula. Kangaroo Island is situated in front of St. Vincent's Gulf, and is a good barrier against the force of the Southern Ocean, and contains several safe and commodious harbours. The mariner, with ordinary precaution, has no difficulty even at night in sailing through the other gulf, or Investigator's Strait, as they are quite free from hidden dangers. "In the absence of navigable rivers (except the Murray) abundance of water is found for man and beast. " For five months in the year the creeks and rivers are running with good water, and during the drought t h e i r natural reservoirs are full ; besides, water can always be procured at a depth of 20 feet. " Situated on the south coast of New Holland, it has the benefit of the whole indraught of the south-west winds which prevail for four months of the year. The colonial surgeon, after some years' experience, says, 'we are without any endemic disease. We have no marsh miasma, and consequently escape those dreadful remittent anWetermittent fevers so prevalent in India and China. have all the meats, fruits, and vege tables to be found at home; and if our days are warm our nights are cold and bracing.' The average of the mortality for five years is less than one per cent.; in England, it is 2'13. " From the calculations of Mr. Dutton, the coldest day was in June, 1844, when the thermometer was 47 deg., and the warmest day in January, 1845—at noon it stood 106 deg. The average of the annual quantity of rain which fell in South Australia is 19'902. The longest day, in December, is 14 hours; shortest, in June, 10 hours. " It is surprising how long this fine region was ne glected. In 1836 its woods resounded to the war-cry of the naked savage. In 1839, there were introduced from New South Wales, 4,200 horned cattle ; 130 horses ; 35,000 sheep ; and the first three months of 1840, 7,000 horned cattle ; 100 horses, and 25,000 sheep, the total being valued at 230,8001. in fifteen months. "The subsequent increase of stock is enormous. 1839. 1840. 1841. 1842. 1843. 1844. Sheep .. 108,700 200,160 242,065 300,000 350,000 450,000 Horned cattle • . 7,600 15,100 16,696 20,000 95,000 30,000 " Pigs, horses, and goats, which had increased 30 per cent., are omitted. In 1845, there were 480,669 sheep, 26,146 horned cattle, and 1,044 horses assesed as stock in South Australia. "The agricultural resources of the colony are quite equal to the pastoral. " The official return of acres in cultivation under wheat, barley, oats, maize, and potatoes, was in 1840, 2,503 ; 1841, 6,722 ; 1842, 19,790 ; 1843, 28,690; 1844, 26,918 ; 1845, upwards of 30,000 acres. " The produce is exported to Sydney, New Zealand, Van Diemen's Land, Swan River, Mauritius, Singapore, Cape of Good Hope, and England. " The South Australian, of the 13th of April last, states, th a t 660 acres of land, situate at Lyndock Valley, produced 28 bushes per acre. At Mount Barker, some hundreds of acres produced 35 bushels per acre. Sweet pea yields 40 tons per acre, arrow -root, 4 tons, and maize ranges from 70 to 100 bushels.' South Aus tralian wheat sold in England for 965. per quarter, when English wheat was selling for 60s. In November, 1845, there were sold in England 450 quarters of South Aus tralian wheat at 765., when English wheat was 60s. ; these 450 quarters were freighted at 641bs. weight per bushel. "The mining resources are also very great. The South Australian Mining Association during the first six months raised 2,707 tons of ore, and a great increase was looked for. A conical hill, 40 miles north of Spencer's Gulf, is . said to be literally a mass of copper ore, which it would require ages to work. " The share list of the mining companies in the colony in 1846, shows the estimation entertained of their pros pects Paid. Price.

Sir Thomas ,in recent expedition to the north-east, found a region like the TJralian Mountains, abounding in gold. The spe cimens I have seen of the gold are very rich. It is in large grains or irregular veins, loosely imbedded in white quartz. Lead is also found. " The commerce has augmented in the same pro earing in mind that the colony portion as the produ cts.

In 1846 the exports had increased to 287,0001.

" The population in the colony in 1847, is about 35,000, and there is a truly British and enterprising spirit in the inhabitants, who, as well as their brethren in New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land, deserve a free representative constitution. " Western Australia, or Swan River,' between the parallels of 31 deg. and 35 deg. S., and that part of New Holland westward of the 129 deg. of longitude, is 1,280 miles from N. to S., and 800 from E. to W., comprising a great extent of country. The colony has made less progress than the settlements on the east and south coast. It was founded in 1829; in 1836 the population was only 2,000; and in 1845 no more than 4,350. The imports from Western Australia into the United King dom in 1844 were only 4,778/., and the British and Irish produce consumed there the same year only 13,4771., yet Parliament has granted altogether 232,6621. to Western Australia. The best means of improving this settlement is by establishing a good inland communication with South Australia, thus de veloping the internal resources of the colony. Steam communication with Mauritius is impracticable by reason of the distance (3,400 miles), want of coaling stations, violent adverse winds for a large part of the year, and absence of traffic. The same remarks apply to com munication with India.

" The most striking feature of Northern Australia is an excellent harbour, sufficient to hold the largest fleet; since the establishment of the settlement, aid has been rendered to vessels in distress, and the surviving crews of shipwrecked vessels: good teak and oak for repairing ships are found on the spot. " Port Essington and the contiguous country was first taken psssession of in 1824, by Sir G. Bremer, but was not made a station of until 1838. The township (Victoria) is situate 16 miles from the harbour; this great distance was selected with a view of combining the advantages of a good soil, fresh water, and an easy approach for the ships in port. Shortly after the set tlement was formed, Lieut. Stewart, and a party ex plored the Coburgh Peninsula, on which Victoria is situated. The second day they crossed several running streams, with grassy patches, fine cedar trees, while thick woods of mangroves appeared on all sides. On the eastern side of the Peninsula, they found a rich and beautiful ; country, which reminded them of the South American forest rather than the Australian wood. " Their observations extended over about 80 miles. Lieut. Stewart says, there is abundance of fresh water on the Peninsula; the south side is the best locality; the trees are free from the white ant; and the cabbage palm abounds.' " Captain Grey says, ' the productions for the growth of which the country and climate seem best adapted, are cotton, sugar, indigo, and rice. The cotton-plant • " The Rev. Dr. Lang, whose exertions for toe men of Australasia deserve the highest commendation, has recently arrived in England to urge the formation of a new settlement on the northeast coast of Australia for the growth of cotton and other such tropical products. " Captain Stokes, R.N., says of Port Essington, it is in truth a magnificent harbour, and well worthy of having on its shores the capital of North Australia, destined to become a great commercial mart and naval station.' Its great size and admirable position render it a shelter for vessels in distress. " Dr. Leichardt's expedition overland from Sydney to Port Essington shows that there is excellent pasturage and water for cattle the whole way. Cotton andi ndigo have been found growing wild in the intermediate country, and the report on the cotton is very good. Chinese would make the best settlers on this part of Australia. " Port Essington possesses little influence at present, but experience has shown what great emporiums have grown up from small matters. Wherever a few English merchants settle, if left free, they plant the germ of future prosperity. There ought, however, to be a station at Cape York, and one at Wellesley Islands, at the head of the Gulf of Carpentaria. " We now pass from Australia to Van Diemen's Land, an island of the South Pacific, lying between 41 deg. and 44 deg. south latitude, and 144 deg. and 148 deg. east longitude. It is about 210 miles from north to south, and 150 east to west, and contains 24,000 square miles, or 15,000,000 acres—nearly as large as Ireland. For a length of time it was erroneously conjectured to form a portion of New Holland; Mr. Bass, a surgeon, discovered the strait which separates the island from the continent. Hobart Town, the capital of Van Diemen's Land, is 800 miles distant from Sydney, and is picturesquely situated on the river Derwent. The physical features are very beautiful, and in some places grand. The island reminded me of Great Britain more than any other country I have visited. It is well watered, and has several excellent harbours. " The colony is more agricultural than pastoral. The land is very productive, and although the progress of the colony has not been so rapid as New South Wales, it has been more steady. The island was colonized by by a detachment from New South Wales in 1803. The population in 1844 was 57,420 ; the exports in 1845, 242,5611., and the imports for the same year, 339,1191. " Wheat, oats, barley, flour, potatoes, cattle, wool, and oil, form its chief exports ; that of wool now amounts to nearly 5,000,0001b5. " Van Diemen's Land has a weekly communication with Adelaide and New South Wales, and would be much benefited by steam communication with India and England. " Late accounts state that the colonists had petitioned for a free emigration to be provided out of the surplus land fund. Wheat tillage last year exceeded 70,000 acres—produce 1,200,000 bushels, which was then fetch ing 4s. Gd. a bushel. " New Zealand islands, equal in extent to Great Bri ro tain and Ireland, next cla tui utteiitlon. th islands, lying north and south, extending from 76 35 deg. to 47 deg. south lat. , an d between 164 dog. and 1 deg. east long. The most northern island, Eainomawi, New Ulster, is about 400 miles long from north to south, and sto 30 miles broad. The middle island, New Munster, separated by Cook's Straits from the northern island, is ab p out 500 miles long, varying in b rea dth from 50 to 120 miles. " The most southern island, or Now Leinster, is not much larger than the Isle of Wight. " The North Cape (Otou) is situate in lat. 34 deg. 35 ; sec. 30 min. south , lon g . 173 deg. 9 sec. 48 min. east where the country terminates in barren hills of sand and rock. This portion of the coast has a dreary fsspect, but none of the shores of this country give any indica tion of the fertile interior. The east and west coasts are divided from each other by mountainous ridges ; in many places at the southward the altitude is such as to be continually covered with snow. "The greatest b r eadth is at the East C a its enpe i 37 stimat ed deg. 44 min. south , 178 de g . . west, wher width is about 300 miles, but the average breadth is not more than 100 miles across. " The Bay of Islands, in latitude 35 deg. 10 min. south, longitude 171 deg. 30 min. east, is capacious, being nearly 12 miles in width ; it will accommodate the largest ships. The anchorages vary in depth from sto 25 fathoms. This has been a favourite resort fvr the ships of all nations for many years. "The North Island is so contracted a few miles from the North Cape, and at the Thames. the centre of the island on the east, and Kaipara and Manukou on the opposite shores on the west, that canoes are drawn by the natives across the narrow isthmus, which does not exceed three miles. The east coast is the best locality; the harbours indenting its shores are valuable, not being obstructed by sand-banks. New Zealand, lying north and south for about 900 miles, enjoys a great variety of salubrious climate, is well adapted to European con stitutions, capable of supporting a large and civilised community, and worthy of becoming the Britain of the south. " The New Zealand Company deserve great credit for their colonization of the country. The far-seeing mind and promptitude of E. S. llalswell, Esq., M.A. (who patriotically made a philanthropic voyage to our pos sessions in the southern hemisphere, with the primary object of ameliorating the condition of the aboriginal natives, and also with a view of understanding the nature of penal discipline there, w Mr. Ha's e 1 being an active magistrate of the Middles ex bench of magistrates 1 in Ludo), in conjunction with other spirited [PRICE SD. viduals, caused the dispatch of the ship Tory' on a preliminary expeditiun.to New Zealand, May, 1839, and thus pre'venled. those noble islands becoming a French colony. It is to be hoped that the differences between her Majesty's Government and the New Zealand Com pany are now entirely at an end, and that the progress or the colony will be as rapid as that of its sitter set tlements in Australia. " The number and tonnage of vessels inwards and outwards from one sr.ttlement in New Zealand, the port of Wellington, in 1846: _ _ Vessels. Tonnage. Men.

Coal quite equal to that ob tained at Newcastle (New South Wales) abounds at the Nelson settlement, and has been burned on board her Majesty's steamers. The European population is about 14,000, and the natives, a bold, hardy race, capable of being trained to useful industry, and a totally different race from the Australians, who melt like snow before a summer sun, are estimated by Mr. Halswell at not more than 107,000. " Governor Grey has ably brought the war to a close, and it is to be hoped every aid will be given to,the New Zealand Company to carry out colonization on a large scale with those fine islands in the Southern Pacific, which are very near our antipodes. A Scotch colony is being now planted in Otago, in connexion with the Church of Scotland. This settlement, which comprises 400,000 acres, is situated on the middle island, and where there are not more than 1,000 natives. This system of colonizing, by providing religious instruction on the outset, is a revival of the ancient system of colo nizing ; and Captain Cargill, the leader of the colonists, will, it is to be hoped, have his noble efforts crowned with success. " Sir Robert Peel rightly said—' When I look to the extent of New Zealand, the line of the coast, the quan tity of land, but, above all, its position, I think it is destined to occupy a most important station in the world. Its relation with this country is most important.' " The passage from New Zealand to Sydney is about a week; by means of the India and Australia Steam Company,' Auckland, the seat of Government, would have a regular post from London in less than 70 days. Such a measure would rapidly raise the value of all property in the colony, and give a greatly enhanced importance to the lands of the New Zealand Company." HEALTH AND MORTALITY RE TURNS FOR TIIE LAST QUARTER. The Registrar-General's report on the health and mortality in 117 districts of England for the quarter ending, Sept. 30, 1847, has just been published. "The quarterly returns are obtained from 117 districts, sub-divided into 582 sub-districts. Thirty six districts are in the metropolis, and the remaining 81 comprise, with some agricultural districts, the principal towns and cities of England. The popu lation was 6,612,800 in 1841." The deaths, registered in this quarter were 49,479 ; a number less by one thousand nine hundred and forty-eight than were registered in the corresponding quarter of 1846; but 7,007 more than the corrected average of the September quarters of 1838-46. Upon the whole there is a slight improvement in the health of the country. The summer season of 1847 must, however, be considered on the whole unhealthy, inasmuch as the deaths have exceeded the average proportion by 7,007, the actual number of deaths having been 49,479, whereas the average number deduced from the average of 1838-46, had the mortality been uniform, and had the numbers increased at the rate of 1-75 per cent. annually, would have been only 42,472. As compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, however, there is a decrease, the number of deaths during the quarter ending Septem ber 30, 1846, having amounted to 51,427. It appears from the tables of mortality here given of the deaths in each quarter since 1838 that a small rise in the mortality took place in the spring after the mild winter of 1846, that a sudden advance occurred in summer-that the mortality reached the maximum (56,105) in the winter of 1847, and has since slowly subsided. , , deaths were registered in the September quarters of 1845, 1846, and 1847. The deaths in the summer quarters of the three years from small-pox were 76, 51, and 320 ; measles, 688, 78, and 521 ; scarla tina, 194, 208, and 316 ; diarrhoea, 449, 1,549, and 1,196 ; cholera, 26, 197, and 98 ; dysentery, 43, 75, and 143 ; remittent fever, 8, 12, 23 ; typhus, 273, 403, and 895 ; erysipelas, 56, 92, and 126 ; the zymotic class of diseases generally, 2,409, 3,234, and 4,061. The deaths from diseases of the respiratory organs were nearly stationary; 1,558, 1,784, and 1,581 persons died of consumption ; 1,111, 977, and 1,071 persons died of inflammatory and other diseases of the lungs. Two, three, and sixteen deaths were directly ascribed to various kinds of privation in the three last September quarters. The increase in the deaths by external violence, which were 342, 403, and 425, may have arisen from erysipelas and other affections supervening on accidents in an unusual proportion. In the first nine weeks of the quarter the mean temperature of the atmosphere, and of the waters of the Thames, was above 60 deg.; the mortality in London from diarrhoea, dysentery, and cholera, rose from 17 on the first to 188 on the seventh week of the quarter, and gradually fell to 107 on the last week. Typhus raged with unusual virulence. The weekly deaths were never below 50, and in the third week of September 111 persons died of this disease. The weekly average was 30 for the same quarter of five preceding years. The epidemic of fever has been more fatal in Lan cashire than in London. In Manchester, Salford, and Chorlton, 4,154 deaths were registered :from all causes. Diarrhoea and fever were the prevalent dis eases. Typhus carries off men and women in the prime of life. Diarrhoea destroys more children, and becomes dangerous to adults in the form of cholera. Liverpool-created in haste by commerce ; by:men too intent on immediate gain ; reared without any very tender regard for flesh or blood; and flourishing while her working population was rotting in cellars -has been severely taught the lesson that a part of the population, whether in cellars or on distant shores, cannot suffer without involving the whole community in calamity. In itself one of the f un healthiestr towns of the kingdom, Liverpool, has a e year been the hospital and cemetery of Ireland. ll w Th 6 ere deaths registered in the four quarters of 1,934, 2,098,.2,946, and:2,735; in the 3o6 t h; thre e Bquartersand of 1847 ending in. September last, 6,669! The population of LivFrpooi the last census., It, is impossible to was 223, correctly than is done by th e short notes of t he re gintritrq the p.itenus spectacle _which this great town pres ented ; with the floating lazarettos on the Mersey, th e workhouses crowde d with destitute paupers, the three large " sheds which will hold 300 persons, nearly full of patients at the present time,'' and the fever " getting tmore prevalent among the upper classes." The mortality remains high in Birmingham, Dud ley, Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury, in many of the towns of Lancashire, in Leeds, Hull, York, and Sun derland. The returns from the other towns of the kingdom present nothing unusual, the mortality being much the same as in previous years. This re fers to the relative mortality. The absolute mortality is always higher by from 10 to 50 per cent. in towns than in open country districts. This is illustrated by a comparison of the deaths registered in London during the last 13 weeks, and of the deaths which would have happened if the rate of mortality had been the same as in Dorsetshire, one of the agricul , tural counties, in which the wages a re low, and in which the condition of the labourer is far from what it is desirable that it should be. The total number of deaths registered in London during the 13 weeks ending September 30, 1847, was 13,187 ; the number, had the mortality been at the same rate as in Dorsetshire, would have been only 8,109, showing an excess of 5,078 deaths as against London. 3,506 children under 15 years of age were de stroyed in London, in addition to 3,078 carried off by causes which may be supposed to be the same as those fatal in the country. The mortality is equal at the age 15-35, when London receives healthy re cruits from the various counties. After the age of 35 the mortality is 45 per cent. higher i n London than in Dorsetshire. If the chance that a man above 35 will die in the count r y d ur i ng the summer a e quar ter be represented by 2, th e c h ance t h at he will die in London is ne ar ly 3. It may b e admitted that part of the London population is poisoned by alcohol, and that in th e i r h ouses and persons they are dirtier than the country people ; still the great excess of mortality, and in part, perhaps, the intemperance and impurity must be ascribed to the crowding, the want of water, decaying animal and vegetable matters un removed, and the inefficiency of the sewers, which neither carry off the solid, liquid, or gaseous matters poured into or generated within them every day.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness end social coaent. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

NEW SOUTH WALES. ihe T d he et a l a i l s papers s t ofan e x fr e o e m e din N g e South l yw interesting experiment d u n r e . y, l w t vi of eundineretyaeakesinngbythMe of at 1 a S b y o Mr. . supplyßoy d , this gentleman that it would be desirable to obtain immigrants for the colony from the South Sea Islands, and he accordingly dispatched a vessel for that purpose, the captain being instructed to call at as many islands as possible, so that he might satisfy himself not only as to the people most fitted for the wants of the colonists, but also as to the number likely to be procured. In due time the vessel returned with 65 of the natives of the New Hebrides group (distant about three weeks sail from Sydney), of various ages, from 14 to 25, while the general accounts given of the cruise were such as to warrant an expectation of satisfactory and extensive results. Mr. Boyd's wish was, that in the first instance only 50 should be engaged, but so eager were these people to be taken on board, that it was only through the authority of their chiefs that the number could be limited, the explanation of this desire for removal being that the inhabitants of all the Coral Islands are in a condition, during upwards of eight months of the year, little short of starvation. With respect to the habits of the people, and their fitness for the occupa tions of civilised life, it is stated, that although canni balism and infanticide prevail amongst them to a fearful extent, they manifest in their intercourse with strangers a very great degree of tractability and in telligence ; and hence it is considered that their vices may be attributed rather to the influence of the suffer ings to which they are periodically exposed than to any ineradicable peculiarity. The expense of intro ducing them is about 8/. per man, and Mr. Boyd's intention is to employ them as shepherds. At the same time, from the description given of them, it would seem that they might easily be instructed for other services. Regarding the conduct of the party during their three weeks voyage, the master of the vessel reports as follows : " My first care en getting to sea was to limit the quantity of food for each person, particularly salt meat ; to have the hold well aired and constantly cleaned, &c.; and so successful have I been in my endeavours to preserve all in a healthy state that I landed them all at Twofold Bay, with only one slight case of dysentery having occurred during the passage ; and I cannot refrain from mentioning the grateful attachment they have all shown to me, as it exhibits a trait in their characters rarely found amongst savages, and one which will contribute in no small degree to render them manageable during their resi dence in the colony ; but on this score I have no doubt, as, short as the time is that they have been with me in the Velocity, they have already learned to make themselves useful, and the alacrity with which they endeavoured to obey any order I gave fully proves their inclination to work." With reference to the numbers to be procured, he adds "I have no hesitation in assuring you that from the various groups in the vicinity of New Holland, this vast island, now nearly uninhabited, may be supplied with an almost unlimited number; for as the miseries of an over-population are removed by emigration, the crime of infanticide will cease, and the desolating effects of perpetual warfare, not only car ried on for the purpose of eating the slain enemies , but also in the hope s of plundering the enemy's country of the fruit and roots produced in it, will end when the principal cause is removed." Perhaps the chief danger to be apprehended is the common one in all these case of the temptation of intoxicating drinks. It must also be remarked that the number imported by Mr. Boyd consists entirely of males ; and that, if this practice be persevered in, there can be no doubt of a repetition of the evils which not many years back were denounced in the first attempts at Coolie emigration to the May.ritius. tng • Times.

A , ll the dise ases o f th e zymot i c class—such u small pox, measles, scarlatina, typhus, influenza, and cholera —have the remarkable property of becoming epidemic. After certain intervals of time, in which they are fatal to a smaller or greater number of persons In different places and seasons, great multitudes are suddenly attacked and destroyed in a given locality; the disease in thi s i ntense form involves the neigh bouring population, spreads around the whole region, and sometimes travels over the tracks of human in tercourse through the world. Little is known of the immediate chemical or vital causes of epidemics; but in given circumstances, where many are immersed in an atmosphere of decaying organic matter, some zymotic disease is invariably produced ; where there is starvation, it is most frequently typhus; cold, in fluenza ; heat, it is cholera, yellow fever, plague. At the mouths of the Ganges, of the Nile, of the Niger; in London, particularly up to the . 17th century ; i n camps, in barracks, in ships, in prisons formerly; in Ireland, in Liverpool, in all our towns now, the cir cumstances in which zymotic diseases become epi demic may be witnessed. A city breathing an atmosphere perfectly pure may not be exempt from every epidemic; but observation has shown that such irruptions are infrequent, and fatal to few persons of strength or stamina. Internal sanitary arrangements, and not quarantine or sanitary lines, are the safeguards of nations. A salubrious city in an epidemic, like a city built of stone in a con flagration, is exposed to danger and injury, but not to the same extent as the present cities of Europe, which, are left without any adequate regulations for ths health and security of their inhabitants. The great historical epidemics have diminished in intensity ; and there appears to be no reason why they should not be ultimately suppressed, with the advances of the population among which they take their rise. Their origin is obscure, but influenza appears gene rally to become first epidemic in Russia, cholera in India.* It is in India that the source of the latter disease must be attacked. If the health of India be come sound, Europe might be safe, and bear no more of the epidemic which is now traversing Russia. The attention of the Indian authorities has for some time been directed to the subject. The Marquis of Wellesley, in 1821, effected improvements in Bengal. Mr. Martin, one of the commissioners appointed by the late Government to inquire into the health of towns, addressed Lord Metcalfe, the Governor-Gene ral, on the sanitary improvement of Calcutta in 1835; his comprehensive plans were promoted by that eminent statesman. Lord Auckland appointed a sanitary commission, of which Sir John Grant was the chairman, and thus procured a very able official report on the health of Calcutta, before the subject was touched at home.t The other nations of Europe are beginning to tale an interest in public sanitary improvements, and any plans found to succeed in England will no doubt be carried out as speedily as possible in all parts of her Majesty's dominions ; for the vast population th a t owns her sway is intimately united. Asiatic cholera has taught us that the lives of thousands in England may depend on the condition of the Pariahs of Jessore.t * In Italy influenza is called the catarro ruaso ; in Germany, the russicche krankheit. - I - See Lancet, Sept. 25 and Oct. 9, 1847. f The epidemic cholera, which reached England in 1831, broke out at Jessore, near Calcutta, in 1817, and destroyed 10,000 persons. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. TlMES.—Another comparatively quiet day has been experienced, and the English Funds have risen considerably. Consols for money, which closed at 81 on Saturday, opened this morning at 81+ to r. After some slight fluctuations they advanced to 82 ; and, although a few sales caused them to leave off at 81i to j, they still wore an appearance of firmness. For the account they opened at 815 to 1, advanced to 821, and closed at 82. In the Stock Exchange money from day to Say was easy at from sto 6 per cent. Out of doors also there was perhaps some slight relaxation. At the Bank, however, there was much demand, and the rate for advances was raised to Bf, and in some cases 9 per cent. This being the day for the usual half-yearly balance at the Bank of England, the transfer offices were closed. _ _ _ The suspension of Messrs. Coates and Co., Ame rican merchants, of Bread- street, Cheapside, with branches in Nottingham, Manchester, and Liverpool, was announced this afternoon. For the last fifteen years the firm have been extensive buyers of manu factured goods for the American market, and disap pointment in the receipt of remittances is stated to be the cause of the stoppage. The liabilities of the house amount to about 100,0001. The bills drawn by the 16th of Auomst A • triatrickan pu - tk..a.uce being the one above-mentioned. The ',v.v.. from the country received this morning bring no accounts of failures in addition to those men tioned, with the exception of that of Cowans, Smith, and Co., commission agents of Glasgow, whose liabi lities are stated at 23,000/. At Manchester and Liverpool, however, the feeling is evidently very gloomy The Ocean steamer, arrived to-day from Rotter dam, has brought 15,000/. in gold. Advices from St. Petersburgh to the 22d of Oc tober repeat the previous accounts of estrem• dullness in all the markets. The weather at that period seemed to indicate an early closing of Ale navigation. Exchge was quoted at rates so wide as to show the pre lence of great distrust regarding many of the bills offered, the rates varying from 371 d. to 38d. and to 38 5-16 d. The Amsterdam Bourse accounts received to-day are less satisfactory than those last mentioned, the prices of several securities having again given way in consequence of speculative sales. Rhenish Railway shares, after improving considerably, had also expe rienced a severe reaction. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. POUTSMOUTII, Nov. I.—The Recruit, 12, Com mander Slade, will be paid off on Saturday. She was built of iron, about eighteen months since, by Ditch burn and Mare, of Black wall ; but, after being from that time until now in commission, and commanded by one of the most worthy and scientific officers in the Queen's service, she is found so utterly unworthy of the pennant, that the Admiralty have resolved on depriving her of that honourable indication of her character. She will, most likely, now be sold out of the navy. The Rhadamanthus steam-vessel, Master-Com manding Jonathan Aylen, arrived, last night, after dark, at Spithead, and came into the harbour to-day to coal.

The royal party may be expected to arrive at Dover about nine o'clook in the morning.

C A V t r T a l g O e •l'‘ d ' yIN CLEANSING CESSPOOLS.—The Long acre has been recently rehearsed, if not acted over again, at Tittenhangers, an estate of the Dowager Countess Hardwicke. How the ides of " disinfecting" cesspools or sewers by help of oil of vitriol origina ted, it is hard perhaps to say, unless it might be in the expec tation that a combination of sulphur and oxygen, such as it is, would neutralise one of sulphur and hydrogen, leaving nothing but sulphur and water ; but it ought never to be forgotten that cesspools and sewers . will always abound with soda, potash, and probably lime, which will hold these hydras dire, in afixed state, and that sulphuric oxyacid will itself be neutralised by tll the alka line bases, and will liberat e in p lace of destroying poisonous hydrides.—Builder. . de scription has recently been fixed to the . guard's NEw RAILWAY SiGicAL.—A signal of an enorrnoas on the South Western line, consisting o bell and a red flag.merely pulling a thing wrong in the train,. d a 's l3 c o a v rr e i l ages wire, cause the bell to ring s a sn o o d, al that the engine time a red flag flies up, as upon htlerieerevagnu,arbiy d a i n sc a o v a er t i t n h g e s a a n m y e . dependent. driver is immed iatel y to stop the tram.—Devouport In I
