newly discovered ta Califentia.
An item of ours le the reeestt attempt to pima Mrs. Cal.
hose,the wile of the gentleman whom I have already alluded
to in this letter. Two of her slaves plead oxalic acid (which
in in common use fa American houses to clean bums) in
her coffee. She is very unwell, but not, dangerously so. The
motive of these guests not known.
Our money mark.t is easy, and specie muss to be ex-
ported. Oar grain market i. becoming more i wive, in the
expectation entertained by us that your linnets will prove s
failure. The long drought has injured the proviso cis of our
cattle-dealers materially. The grans is literally hared up.
The army orders have assigned General Winfield
Scott to the command of the eastern division of the
army, and General Zachary Taylor to the western.
The great fire at Albany has scarcAy ceased to be
the theme of conversation, when another disaster of
the mane kind takes place. A great conflagration has
burnt down en immense portion of Brooklyn. Nearly
three hundred buildings, including three churches, and
an immense quantity of goods,wares, merchandise, and
household furniture, amounting in value from one
million to one million and • half of dollars, have
fallen a sacrifice.
Lieutenant George F. Buxton, aged 38, of the 89th
Regiment British army, died at St. Louis on the 29th
ult., of dysentery. He was the writer of the Bleat.
wood series entitled " Life in the Far West," and had
obtained some fame by his volume of " Adventures in
Mexico and the Rocky Mountains." He arrived at
St. Louis a few weeks previous to his death, with.
another British officer, who, supposing him to be on-
valesient, proceeded with General Brooke fart the'
Upper Mississippi.
We have received *deices from C.mpeachy (11,.e•-•
tan) to the 27th ult. The whites had been everywhere.,
snocessful throughout the peninsula, and Yucatan had.
been reunited to Mexico. Mexico had offered a fall
pardon to the Indians, on condition of their ceasing
hostilities. Mexico is to pay Yucatan 140,000 dole.
In commercial matters, the Courier and Inquirer
says :
The intelligence up to 28th August from Liverpool, by the
Hibernia, seems to indicate that the will be a comparative
scarcity. of grain in England, even though the harvest should
not be injured by bad weatier. The extent to which the
potato will probably be destroyed, and the slmeet entire pre-
natal exhaustion oh all the European accumulation of grays,
seem to ,Instify the calculation that, even with a lair average
harvest in England, thus will still be a wasemity there ter
sousidersble importations of foreign grain; and this 'sped&
tire is fortified by the factthat orders fur the purelisaeolgreim
en foreign amount wo re received by the Hibernia—:bough
at limits too low to admit of their be-ng more than p oddly
executed. Our own markets on the seaboard, indeed, are
comparatively ban of breaks& The high prime of the
last two years have enabled the farmers to hold their pro-
duce back, in the expeataion of like high prices this year.
We may anticipate, as soon as the news of a foreign demigod
shall be circulated is the interior, to dad produce harried s
the seaboard in gnat quantities. Our crops thh year have I
been mut bountiful, and our capacity to export is quits
equal to say demand likely to be made on it. The cotton
growing crop will be very large. At the last accounts Irma
the south the weather continued fine for the mav
en and
picking of the crop ; bet thus processes were s re-
tarded by rains I. parts of July and August, that [marsh's
weather will be required for soma weeks to make us feel
reasonably coaddeni that 000,000 bales will be secured. At
the present women the 11611011118 are perhaps more in favour
of 2,600,000 than t;;C0,000, but there I. still a possibility of
2,900,000. la foreign exchange the demand is not very
active—the rates for hille on London are from 9to 91 Oa

a company of Bombay artillerymen, from the same place, had
reached &hundred by steam. They weld roach Moulton

made to capture the city without waiting for the Fero:epee

reach after the business has all been nettled. Two Sikh

credible as regards the Mockers intentions, as it is neatly
upresillie they can be known by those out of the city. It is
however, extremely probable he will once more attack the
allies before they are j iced by the advancing British forge,
as he must well know that after their junction it woad be
sedans to attempt to molest them. The allies had en-
trenched their camp as well as they could, and had applied to
the Elsa of Baliawulpore for pioneers and artificen to suet
batteries by the time thesiege guns should arrive.

B.laai.-rriepreCipitate retreat of the Dutch in
June last was followed by the no Ism hasty departure of the
expedition to Batavia. Accounts from Bally to the middle
of July contain expiation' of surprise at the flight of the
Dutch; the }Winese considered their me so hopeless at
Djaga Raga that they were co the paint of yielding submis-
sion when the enemy, compelled exhaustion and the
want of ammunition, suddenly tar and Bed. This move-
ment •the Balinese state believed at the time to have
been • mere feint to induce them to quit the forts and sally
forth. Happily for the Dutch that it was so, or scarcely one
would have returned to the transports alive. A young
Dutch soldier was taken prisoner by the natives, but finding
that Ise eoald not speak Javanese or Malay, he was set
at liberty, and returned to the camp. The loss on the part
of the Bilious was very great, amounting to abut 2,300,
of which number nearly 300 were priests and chieftains of
some note. The day after the battle the Balinese collected
the corpses of their brave relatives and friends, and per-
formed the fennel rites peculiar to the nation. The beads
of the Dutch troops that fell in action were removed; the
triumph was celebrated by festivity, and the heads of the
enemy were distributed smong the relatives of the slain to
stark the semen of the day when so many brave and noble
Brims hied in defence of their lealiemble rights. The
failure atlas expedition is said to have been wholly awl.

matter for dimwits. Great dissatisfaction is expressed on
mount of the mel-ansagemests of the general commending,
who relieves himself et the blame by throwing the responsi-
bility oa the governor•general and the small force placed at
his disposal. The affair has now blown over, or rather is
absorbed in the approaching nuptials of Governor. General
Hochman. A anti-liberal feeling is gaining ground: the

dom of opinion. It is aid that Dr. Van Hi3evel, a learned

SOUTH AUSTRALIA. ADELAIDE. Advice'
and journals received to June 16th represent the colony as
protressing at gnat strides, and the mineral stores of the
plane become daily more and more developed. litilways
are ones more agitated : • more rapid awl regular communi-
cation between Adelaide and the port is found to be indispen-
sably neeemary. Offers of land for the tertninus and part
of the line are made free, but money Is wanting; until the
monied and landed interests of Adelaide ere on better terms,
there is little prospect of the introduction of railways.
On June 2nd, the legislative council was opened by
Governor Robe, who, after various remarks, stated that her
Majesty's government bad consented to forego the claim of
4.4631.75. 2d. on the part of the neval department, on se-
count of the employment of her Maier y's ship Buffalo at the
early settlement of the colony ; a bill sot embodying a colonial
militia west* be laid before the council, founded on the pr
eiples of the law of England. On Ince 6th a return ees
laid before the legislative council of the extent of the aid Mee
ceived by the colony from the British governm-nr, and } cen
the land fund; from the former had been received 226,3821.,
and front the land fund 84,35314 the latter sum
his Excellency proposed should be at once paid by the
colony, that sum paid, the bonded debt of the province would
be but 85,8001. at 38 per cent. On the same day the gover-
nor submitted the estimates for the year ending 31st vends,
1860, and the supplementary estimates for 1848-49. The
total estimated receipts for 1849-60 were 90.200 t., and
the expenditure 62,1871. Os. 11d. The supplementary esti-
mate for 1848-49 was set down at 39,6141. The rapid pro-
gress of the province is bent illustrated by some statistical
returns submitted to the legislative council, from which it
would appear that sines the discovery of mines the popu-
lation has increased 60 per cent, notwithstandiner which the
agricultural interest has will steadily progress. d. Tuen again
as to the exportations of copper ore in 1344 but 664 tow,
valued at 10,0001, were asp xted, while in 11447 no less than
10,600 tons, valued at 200,0001., were exported. Wool had
steadily increased at the rate of 4,0001. per annum. Bay
whaling has been commenced in South Australia, and es as
egeneed of messy two very large whales had been captured.
POUT PHILLIP.—MlitiltwaSS AND GEELOI4O.
The intelligenos from Port Phillip is to June 21. The state
of the colony was most satisfactory. Great eutheetations
were formed as to the bluetits to be derived from separation.
On May 28 the schooner Thetis, from Sydney, struck on the
Lonadale reM, at Port Phillip Heads, and became a total
wreck ; four lives wen lost to the catastrophe. The Thetis
left Sydney for Melbourne, and arriving off Twofold Bay was
compelled to put in there through stress of weather ; she
again started for her destination, but in consequence of the
darkness of the night she struck on the rocks and her masts
fell overboard. The pueengers ,and crew (24 in number)
rushed on the side of the vessel, expecting every m meat to
be their last. The weather is came tempestuous, and the
vowel began to heel, when the children of Mr. sad Mrs.
M'Carthy were washed overboard and were drowned. The
captain caused the peasouper' to climb along the spars
and drop from the topmast to the reef, which was
bare, and within a tow yards of toil vessel. The
M'Carthies, denuded of club(' g, were landed in a weak
state, to all appearance dead. Alter much difficulty the sar-
vivon were conveyed on shore in safety. On May 31
sneaker wreck occurred not far from the piece where the
Thetis struck. The schooner Sophia lett Hobart Town for
Melbourne : on May 31 the captain sighted the Shortland's
Bluff lighthouse, and resolved to run in, bat the night he-
same dark, and the lighthouse was not perceptible. The
Sophia struck upon a reef at point Nepsan with such vio-
lence, that she almost immediately commenced filling.
The rudder broke, and the vessel becoming unmanageable,
&Idly after capsized. The passengers and crow fortunately
got into the schooner's boat and were floated off the rock.
The gale was fast increasing; after much :difficulty they
reached the shore and landed near the ?llote` station, Short-
land's Bluff. In 18 minutes after striking the Sophia went
1 down in 30 fathoms water.—An encouraging prospect is
ooaed by the intimation that Earl Grey, at the solicution
of Mr. A. Boyd, has been induced to sand out 20,000 emi-
grants to Sydney and Port Phillip, to arrive at the rate o
four ships monthly. It is said that government has contracted
for 60 ships. Thememigraata an to be equally divided between
Sydney and Port Philip. Depots are to be formed through the
colony to receive the immigrants, numbers of whom are to
forwarded when practicable along the coast by steamers ;
so that Port Phillip -has a prospect of receiving an addition to
her population, during the next twelve mouths, of act lem
than 10,000 souls, sent out at the entire expense of the
British government. Oa May 30, Governor Fitzroy con-
veyed a memos to the legislative couacil at Sydney, to the
effect that his excellency had received a despatch from Earl
Grey, suggesting a scheme by which a sum might be raised
in the colony (New South Wales) by the creation of a
fended debt, for the purpose of carrying out a more ex-
tensive scale of immigration than is at present provided for.
His excellency remarked that on so important a subject he
deemed it necessary to give the earliest publicity ; he would
sot press any specific measures for the consider tion of the
ecommed, as the funds arising from territorial revenue at the
dimmed of the crown were sufficient to provide for the con-
Wend supply of emigrants foe some time to come.
