VAN I: IN A N'S A Nl).—lv. yestertiry a series
of Gazettes from Hobart Town, Van Dieman's Land, to the
end of August. The progress of improvement of this
fine colony appears to be extremely rapid, of which,
perhaps, the most striking instance is afibrded in the pro-
jected establishment of passage-teasels, constructed after
the manner of the Leith and Berwick smacks, to sail
regularly between Hobart Town and Sidney, for the
conveyance of passengers. A company had been formed
for this purpose at Hobart Town, to which the sum
of %SOW. had been subscribed, the whole amount re-
quired for the undertaking being 6,0001. The Berwick,
a passage-vessel for Van Dienian's Land, had brought
out a supply of merino, the greater part of which arrived
safe; but of 24 head of horned cattle shipped on hoard
the same vessel, the whole unfortunately perished. These
cattle were of the approved breed, and in consequence of
the very serious lour sustained, as well to the colony as to the
individuals concerned, a legal investigation was likely to
take place on the subject. We are glad to perceive that pro-
; per protection is given to the passengers on their voyage ro
this colony, by giving them damages in the law courts in
cases of neglect or ill-treatment by the Captain. Three
actions for such conduct were brought in the Lieutenant
Governor's Court against the Captain of the Berwick, in
all of which verdicts were given for the plaintiffs. It was
in contemplation to establish a bank at Hobart Town.

The of of the Anglo-Mexican Mining Associa-
tion, are proceeding with considerable activity. Contracts

ments, viz. Messrs. Walker and Co.. of Stalfindshire ; Mr.
George Stephenson, of Newcastle; and the Neath Abbe!.
Company, and several persons in the service of the company
are preparing to embark for the scene of their future la-
bours.

The Mexican, belonging to Messrs. J. Hibberson.and Co.
of this town, has c:mpleted six voyages from this port to
Havannah and hack, in a f.w days less than two years,
having traversed, in that time, about 70,000 miles of
ocean, besides taking in and discharging twelve cargoes.--

A gentleman of this neighbourhood, who has two sons at
school at Caen, in Normandy, has recently been advised,
that by a Government order, all children, without refer-
ence to nation or religious opinions, educated at the French
schools' must attend the celebration of Nlass : in other
words, be initiated into the principles and practices of the
Catholic Creed. We promulgate this for the information
of parents who have children in France, under the care of
French tutors.—lfonipshire Telegraph.
