SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

NEws.—By
- - - -
GENERAL papers received yesterday,
bringing down our intelligence to the 13th June, we learn
that the legislative council was to assemble for the despatch
of business on the 24th of that month. Another special sur-
vey had been claimed at the foot of Mount Remarkable, and
it was said that the evidences of mineral wealth on the spot
were unprecedented even in this colony of minerals. The
names of Elder, Younghusband, Aston, Anstey, and Dutton,
were sufficient guarantee that the balance of the 2000/. be-
yond the deposit would be duly forthcoming. The parties
who had claimed the special survey near Mount Remarkable,
had also claimed another at the Emu Plains, and from their
known prudence the survey was hardly deemed a speculation.
LAND ORDERS,—THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COMPANY
AND THE GOVERNMENT.—An action had been tried before
the Supreme Court, in which Atigas and Others were plain-
tiffs, and Bonney defendant, representing respectively the
South Australian Company and the Government. The
special jury found for the defendant, the action being brought
against the government officer as a trespasser. The point
involved will be understood by an extract from the charge
of the judge, who said
Mr. globes had spoken of the company's having advanced eight
thousand pounds towards making up 32,0001., for which they had
102 lanclanlers, and a right of priority of choice. At an early meet-
ing some persons selected—some reserved their land-orders—no doubt
what Mr. Cites did he did fur the best. At all events he had reserved
some for Kangaroo Island. If after a time the company did not find
land surveyed there, there was no reason that they should not select
elsewhere--end they exercised the right. Persons who reserved their
landarders were, by the regulations of 1836. to be subject to the
existing regulations, and regulations became laws when framed by
persons duly authorised. The land-order was dated so far back an
10th December, 183.5, rather better than ten years ago. It appeared
that the holders chore to postpone their choice : then, putting
aside Kangaroo Island altogether, they had the sane rights as
other persons under the regulations; formerly, priority was given in
order of date; but this document having been held back for
years, the Waste Lands Aet came into operation. Before that
Act no land could be taken by a land-order till it had been open for
selection for a month. The plaintiffs did not come in wider those
regulations. This was land which had not been open for tender for
a month, eo that even under the old regulations, they could not have
taken it. The Waste Lands Act did not formally repeal the former
Act, though virtually it did so, by providing a different mode for the
sale of land. In effect, lands could only be sold by private contract
after they had been submitted to labile auction. Under the old regu-
lations the plaintiffs could not claim as they had ceased to exist, nor
could they under the Waste lands Act, became the two sections prin-
cipally claimed bad not been submitted to public auction. Whether
they might claim land which had been so submitted was another
question. Then Mr. Fisher referred to the clause in the Act which

saved existing contracts. Perhaps under this clause there might
he a mode found of satisfying the plaintiffs, that was. If thi y were
dispeced to be satisfied in a reasonable manner. There were diffi-
culties in this colony which there were not in others ; but perhaps
the Governor might convey to holders of landorders land which had
been submitted to public suction, or might allow the price of a land.
order in the amount of a purchase at auction ; but this did not allow
them to take land which had not been offered. It was raid it was
lased for the company not to get land which they had paid for tea
wean ago; but that was net • question for the Jury. Now lands had

STATISTICS OP THE COLONY.-A statistical publication,
issued under the authority of the Governor, gives some corn.
parative details that speak highly for the progress of the
colony. A colonial print thus sums up the results:
" We perceive that the registered births in 1845 amounted to 708,
that the marriages were 141, and the deaths 238, in a population of
22,320-of whom 12,670 were males, and 9.650 females. 114 ships
and vessels entered our harbour during 1845, being an annual W-
erra." of 44. The perronal arrivals and departures by sea in 1845
Dave test a balance of 1,883 in favour of the colony, being 1,110 more
than in 1844. There are 41 pima, of worship, adapted to
contain 7,020 mesons; the attendance at Sionlay schools, in 1845,
Is stated at 1,265 ; and at various day schools 1,536 ; the latter
return being more than double that of 1844. The revenue for 1815
amounted to 36,11121. 9s, 10d., being an increase of 8,3031. 175., as
compared with the previous year; whilst the expenditure was
32,099/. Is. 3d., only 2,6451. 12s. 9d. more than that of Intl; the clear
surplus revenue for 1045 being 4,0831. Is. sd. The exports of colonial
productions in 1815, consisted of-wheat, 13,6271. 10, ; flour,
11,2701. 10s.; gum, 7,1191.; oil and whalebone, 1,934/. 10s. • wool,
72,2351. 125.; butter, 1,1651. 135.: copper ore, 17,1791. 5i.. 6d.;
lead ore 1,8391. Os. - and miseellancous exports under 1,f001.,
4,978/. 18s. Oci. ; ;mounting to 131,8001. 75., and being
49,5311. 13s. 4d. more than in 1841. The imports of 1845 were
184,8191. 18s. 5d.; being 64,901/. Ils. 6d. more than in 1844. We
infer that some considerable amounts in specie, as well as other
uncronsumable property must have been included in this return. The
number of licensed or noble houses had inermsed in 1813 to 82.
Amongst other establishments of which returns are made, we find 18
breweries, 24 flour-mill, 4 foundries, 10 malthouses, and 8 tanneries,
In the list of mines, only fifteen principal ones are mentioned. In
1845 the land sales amounted to 52,9022. Bs., being 47,335/. 15s. more
than the land sales of 1844. The return of acres in cultivation is
26,9071, for 1844; and 26,2184, for 1843; the number of cultivator
returned is 1357, for 1844; and 1269. for 1845; this decrease
may be accounted for by several combinations of small farms,
consequent upon the return of farming mechanics to the town busi-
ness, now as abundant The returns of animal stock were moderately
assessed to the following extent in 1845:-lames, 1,044; cattle above
six months old, 26,146; sheep and weaned lamte, 480,669. The cri-
minal convictions in 1844 were 21 ; and only 22, with the increased
population of 1845. The insolvencies in 1845 amounted to 26. The
Sheriff's writs were only 57 in 1843. The amount of inortgagto reffl6-
tend in 1845 was 12,4621. 7s. lid, being 7,5751. 13e. lOd. Ics.s than in
1841. The registration amount of bills of sale, Judgments, and warrants
of attorney in 1844 was 22,1331. 158. 4d.; and 23,76,1. 10a. Ili. in
1845. The last paper of the series is a comparative statement for six
years, namely, 1840 to ISIS inclusive, and from which it appears that
in 1810, when the population was only 14.610, the acres in cultivation
only 2,503, and the exports limited to 15,61(11. the government expen-
diture was 169,9661. 19s. 6d., whilst the amount of revenue was only
30,1991. 14s. lid. In 1845, we discover • mighty change-for
although the increase of population bad only eaten to 22,390, the
exports reached the large amount of 131,80 W. 65., the acres in cultiva-
tion were 26,2181, and the government had a handsome surplus re-
venue in an aggregate of 36,1821. 9s. 10d., with only 32,0991. 3e. lid.
of expenditure to meet.

PRICE OP Gat IN TN THE CoLoNT.—The price of wheat
was rising ; the South Australian Register (June 3) rays:
" Wheat was quoted yesterday at Ss. 3d. to Se. CL, and there
appears to be every probability of a further advance in the price of
wheat and flour. In fact, we know that sixteen pounds (cash) has
been demanded for a ton of (2,000Ibs) of dour, and that Ss. Gd. per
bushel has been reused for a large parcel of wheat. As toasts, there
Is @meetly a bushel to be purchased, and Sr. 14 asked. It was fully
expected that the Scout would have brought a large parcel of oats,
but coupling the prices at Hobart Town with those here, it was found
not expedient to make the shipment. Four shillings was offered yes-
terday and refused for Cape barley, and this, too, for a large parcel"

The Adelaide Observer, whielt gives a similar statement,
but, in mnra detail, adds—

"Since the above 'was In type some gratifying statements have
appeared in this week's orernment f,aaelte, the important results
o whichU
are all we can find room for upon the present occasion.
" Exports, the produce of South Australia. have been mole during
the quarter ending the sth of April last, to the surprising amount of
104,718/. 1.55. The mod considerable amounts comprised in the
aggregate are—bark, 1,802/. ; bread and biscuit, 398/. 5a.; butter and
cheese, 3201. 10s.; barley and bran, 344/. 10s. • cows, IDOL ; wheat,
6,588?. 6,.; flour, 3,044/. • gum, :22/. 10s.; oil and whalebone, 1,428/.;
potatoes nd salt (aebdom found together on the table of the hearty
South Australian labourer unaccompanied by good beef or mutton
and a fine wheaten loafer a solid "damper") surplus exported 208?. ;
copper ore, 47,863/. ; k-ad ore, 8571. ; and lastly wool, 40,770/. 10s.;
the remainder bring principally composed of exports respectively
below 100/. in value.

"The imports intended for internal consumption, amount to
48,688/. Ds.
" The ordinary revenue receipts for the quarter amounted to
10,958/. Ito. 3d., and the expenditure chargeable upon these receipts
to no note than 9,327/. 171 9d. The salary to emigration agent, and
the expenses of maintenance for widows, orphans, and sick or desti-
tute penions, de not amount to more than 161/. 12a. 4d. for the quar-
ter, so that even if these claims were sati-lbsl out of the ordinary
Snub% there would still be a surplus of 1,275 19s. 2d., such is the
flourishing state of our pros Metal finances.

VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.
" The brig Union arrived on Monday from Launceston
(21st of May), bringing 55 passengers, 36 horses, and several
vehicles.

" We are pleased to observe that Captain Begot, M.L.C.,
and his lady, have returned to the colony in this vessel.
" The ship Joseph Somes, 620 tons, arrived on the 19th
of May at Hobart Town, from London (Jan. 16), with 243
male convicts.

The Gazelle contains the quarterly abstract to the 31st
of March. Total revenue, 28,6151 7s. Id.; expenditure,
28,1381. 14s. sd. Compared with the corresponding quar-
ter of 184.5, there is a decrease in the revenue of upwards of
2,0001., and an apparent diminution in the expenditure of
4,4001., although the estimates are the game. The anomaly
is attributed to the exclusion of unpaid government liabi-
lities.

meeting of the Legislative Council had been again
postponed to the 15th June, when, it was currently reported,
a measure was to be introduced for the imposition of a duty
of 15 per cent. on S,nith Australian produce imported. The
popular sentiment seemed to be opposed to the measure.
"A meeting of the Hobart Town Auxiliary Bible Society
was held on the 11th ultimo, his Excellency Sir E. Wilmot,
in the chair. A report was read and adopted. The Rev.
W. Day, missionary from Samoa, on the conclusion of an
interesting speech, presented to the governor a cony of the
Samoan Scripture.
" The public officers at the head of every department in
Hobart Town, have forwarded to the editor of the Nara/
and Military Casette a letter flatly contradicting the in-
ainuatbns implied in its colonial cerrespondence, some time
ago, and reflecting upon the moral character of Sir E.
Wilmot.

" Upon the whole, affairs seem to have assumed an im-
proved tone, although the large amount of cash deposited
with the hanks, and not bearing interest—no less a sum
than 393,082!. 19e.—evinces much hesitancy as to what may
be called the staple pursuits of the colony. The liabilities
of the banks amount to 457,6861. 9s, 2d., their assets to
1,172,7461. Os. 7d., showing a balance in their favour of
716,1591. lls. 6d. The specie held by them is stated to be
290,9021. 13s. Bd. The amount of bank circulation
(57,5621. 7s. Bd.) would appear to be contracted; but the
aggregate amount of discounts and cash credits
831,4741. 6s. 7d.) which appears in the recent bank returns,
looks somewhat formidable.

" There is a manifest improvement in the working of the
probation system. The number of men for promotion from
a lower to a higher class was 176, and for six mouths not a
single complaint had been made against one of them. Half
of the number has been in pnvate service, and the re-
mainder distributed at the various hiring depots. A similar
circumstance occurred last month, and also the month
previous; 161 men emerged from probation to first and
second clams in August last, and 100 in September, and not
a single offence was recorded against one of the number
when their names were submitted for promotion in February
and March. _

" Under the pastoral care of Bishop Nixon, twelve new
churches and chapels and fourteen ministers had been added
to the previous ecclesiastical establishment. The establish-
ment of the college is secured. The colonists nobly responded
to the call for aid in this important work, and have seconded
the example set before them by British philanthropy, with a
zeal and libera:ity that do them honour. One gentleman, with a
munificence worthy of the land from which he sprang,hils alone
endowed it with property to the amount of 150/. per annum.
Others have not been slow to render the assistance which the
specified conditions demanded.
" The desire to render available the natural productions
of Van Diemen's Land, which we lately noticed in respect
of the indigenous timber, is further evidenced by increased
activity in the coal mines. On the 18th May, about 300
tons of Port Arthur coals were sold by auction, the price
varying from 13e. 6d. to 15s. per ton.
" Recent sales of sheep and cattle had attracted more
competition than heretofore, and greatly improved prices
were obtained. Fifty-two head of imported cattle fetched
from 71. to 81. 15s. per head at auction.
"Amongst the exports of wheat from Van Diemen's
Land may be mentioned the Benjamin Heape, for Liver-
pool, conveying upwards of 11,000 bushels, and the Minerva,
for Sydney, 11,000 bushels. Several other vessels were ex-
pected from Sydney for wheat, but the prevalent impression
appeared to be, that the quantity remaining on hand was
not more than sufficient for domestic consumption ; never
theless, the price of the best samples of wheat at Hobart
Town, had receded to 4s. 6d. on the 16th ult., and the
highest Van Diemen's Land quotation for fine flour is 131.
per ton.
" The cargo of the Mona, from the Cape, consisted of
140 hhds., 67 pipes, and 474 quarter pipes wine, 1,705 boxes
raisins, and other produce of which a portion only was
landed at Hobart Town, where she was to fill up with wheat
for Sydney."—South Australian Register, June 10.

MATENCE.—RELIGIOUS TOLERATION.—We learn
from the Univers Israelite, that the Israelites of that
city have just sustained a heavy loss in the death of Rabbi
Leo Ellinger. The deceased Rabbi, a man of the old
school, was beloved by all members of the community ; and
by his amiableness, his influence, and his sagacity, he pre-
vented the ardent conflicts which, in other towns of Ger-
many, separate the orthodox from the reform party. The
funeral of the deceased Rabbi furnished a rare example of
religious tolerance. Among the procession following the
venerable Jewish ecclesiastic to the grave, were the heads of
the Catholic and Protestant clergy ; Bishop Kaiser, of the
former, and Dr. Noneweiler, Archdeacon of the latter.

•
THE TEMPLE CLWRCII. The following extract
from a hook, published about a hundred years ago, should
clear " Cromwell and Co." from any direct or indirect charge
of having been concerned in all the disfigurements to which
the Temple Church, on its late repairs, was found to have
been subjected. " The body of the church has three roofs,
supported by tall and slender pillars of Sussex marble. The
windows are all adorned with small neat pillars of the same
stone."—The Modern Universal British 'Traveller, by Bur-
lington, Rees, and Murray ; London, folio 1749. The com-
mon routine of saving the trouble of further inquiry, by
charging all church mutilations on " Cromwell" or the
" Puritans," evidently involves a considerable anachronism
in this instance, to say nothing of other historical difficulties.

LEARNED SOCIETIES OF THE METROFOLIS.— The
meetings of the various learned societies of the metropolis
which have partially commenced in the present wadi,
come into full activity the first week in November, and con-
tinue so until June. There will then meet periodically no
fewer than forty societies for reading papers and the disco-
Bien of the various matters of literature, science, and art,
which they respectively embrace, in addition to twenty-one
for the delivery of lectures, and which hold occasionally
soirees. As the parent of the whole stands the Royal Society,
embracing the whole range of the various departments of
mathematics, natural philosophy, and natural history. Thus
are four devoted to antiquities: the Society of Antiquaries,
established in 1717 ; the Numismatic Society, the British
Archaeological Society, and the Archeological Institute d
Great Britain. Natural history in its various departments
is cultivated by eleven : the Linmean, Zoological, Enamor
logical, Horticultural, Royal Botanic, Botanical, Medico
Botanical, Floricultural, Microscopical, and now the Padua
logical Society, whilst the Royal Agricultural Society also
holds monthly meetings for the discussion of the praetiet
and science of that art. The science of medicine teat nisi 'n
devoted to its especial cultivation : the Westminster,
London, South London and North London Medial,
with the Medico-Chirurgical, Physical, Hunterian, Ilarveiss
and London Homepathic Societies. For th.- cultivation d
chemistry there are three—the Pharmaceutical and Chemied
Societies, and the Royal College of Chemistry. The study
of the heavens embraces the resources of two—the Royal
Astronomical and Meteorological Societies; whilst three devote .
their attention to the earth, its structure and human inhabis
tants—the Royal Geographical, Geological, and Ethnelegiell
Societies. Addressed to specific objects there are the Sta-
tistical and Royal Asiatic Societies; and for the proaecution
of literature there are two—the Royal Society of Literati",
and Philological Society, in addition to nine which hold no
periodical meetings, with the exception of their annivirsaries,
and are confined to the re-publication of the works of the
earlier writers. These are the Camden, l'arker, Perch
Cavendish, Ray, Shakspeare, Sydenham, and Handel So-
cieties, with the Oriental Translation Fund. The useful at
and the kindred subjects of architecture and engineerittg,
embrace the services of three—the Society of Art:, Institu-
tion of Civil Engineers, and Royal Institute of Briai
Architects. At the Royal, London and Russell Institutions,
lectures of the highest order of merit on different branches
of science are given ; whilst sixteen other inatitutione,
which lectures on the general branches of literature and
science are delivered weekly, are scattered throughout the
metropolis and suburbs. Of the above learned societies, seven
hold their meetings weekly, 18 twice a month, 13 monthly, ail
two at intervals, as also occasional soirees are given by the
Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, which are not
included in the above list. Four only receive national
support in the grant of gratuitous accommodation—Pie
Royal, Astronomical, and Geological Societies, and Society
of Antiquaries; and two royal grants for premiums to the
Geographical Society and Royal Institute of British Arclu-
tech!. The revenues vary much, the two highest being the
Zoological and Horticultural Societies ; but the gross amount
of the sums annually expended by the members in the pee'
secution of objects of scientific and intellectual research,
may be stated on a moderate estimate as 56,7001. dispensed
through their means, to which may be added at least 7,ooY-
for the support of the sixteen minor institutions for scientific
instruction. To the above may be added the sinecure
en-
dowment of Gresham College, where seven courses of
lectures are delivered at the commencement of every term.
