BOTANY BAY.

Botany Bay Papers have been received. inchnl-
ing a series of the Sydney Gazette, from the 6th of
September to the gUth of December last inclusive,
whence we snake a few extracts, which may prove
rather gratifying to our readers. They term wills
proofs of the genetsl prosperity of the colony, and
that the individuals composing it, though residing
at such an insinesisst distance from England, have
nut forgotten its customs. manners, or gaieties,
and, unhappily, its crimes.
By the latest recounts from the Society blinds,
it appears that they are rapAly advancing to civili-
esti #### . have abandoned their human sacrifices and
barbarous customs. of child murder, and already ex-
perience the irtvaiitages of applying Christian tenets
to their lievereimeest, and of casting away the su-
perstitious idolatry and deception that had plunged
them into ruin. A thirst for instruction universally
prevails; a correspondence in wilting is maintained
among the natives. and the few letters in their
language being always used to express the same or
similar sounds. they find little trouble in spelling
correctly. But, above all, ilw tree of Christianity
is planted and thrives among theta. Otabelle is iii
a state of perfect tranquillity, the 51issionaries en-
joy the best health. and all the islanders have beets
converted to Christ •ty.
The inhabitants of New Zealand are tint equally
docile. They still hanker for every vessel that visits
them, and plots with that view are continually sr.
ranging with the Chiefs, against which it behoves
the masters and crews to be unceasingly on their
guard. Messrs. HAIL and Kist:, the gentlemen
belonging to the Church Missionary Establishment,
awl placed there by the Bev. Mr. MARSDEN, de-
scribe their situation as by no omens all enviable
Star. The endives rob, insult, and oppress them in

THE BRITISH PRES S.

LON FION,
TUESDAY. JUNE 30, IBIS.

The progress of the poll at Covent-garden be-
gins anise to be regarded with ektresne anxiety by
the friends of the several Candidates; but if the
frieilds of isidepetstlenee 'coutinue for the few Joys
still remaiwiwg to exert thriusrives with the satue
energy as has been hitherto displayed, no doubts
can be entertained of the result. The nutubrir
polled yesterday were--

Total.
Sir S &nallly 217 .. ♦,006

Sir F. Burdett 3iit;
Sir M. Maxwell

Henry Huai, Eby . 2

It thus appearo, that Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has
improved considerably over the Candidate who has
been set up and sapportad by the power and in-
fluence of the Minister.

Since the out-intuit:Ate accident that prevented Sir
Muacte slsxwxtA, front appearing on the hust-
ings, the early part of the dry presents nothing
remarkable, beyond the discordant din that usually
accompanies the polling at a General Election.
The uproar is reserved fur the close of the poll,
the period assigned for the speech-making ; but
yesterday the friends of Sir MURRAY MAXWELL
seemed resolved upon strewing their spirit. and in
evident oppositi to the purple flags of Sir F.
BURDETT'S Adherents, carried a boat in triumph
as the symbol of their party. The populace as-
sembled in front of the hustings, however. could not
brook this invasion upon what they would conceive
their peculiar privileges, and a contest between
them and the &minim i tttttt ediately ensued, which
terminated in the discomfiture of the latter, and the
utter destruction or their symbol. This display of
courage was, in our mind, extremely ill advised on
the part of Sir Aluttastr Maxxxi.t.'s adherents,
more especially as we are taught by the Trea►ury
Journals to believe that the gallant Captain is sup.
ported by none but lemons of a respectable class in
society, and that " every fellow with a dirty face
and a broken coat is sure to rule for HURT. Buie-
VETT, or itoatiLLY." We will not pretend to say
to what class of society a man named Caleb
to wheelie name the designative title of chivalry
is sometimes facetiously prefixed, belongs, but the
outrages of this fellow and his gang again►t the

friend• of the popular C.ltiliciatts, have been such
as would hove disxraerd any of the " fellows with
dirty tiers end broken coati.," who vote fut the in-
defirodelier of 11'es 0000 itt ster.

The Msnistertal rapers can account for Sir
Fa.itrus Buausres present elevation on the poll,
only by attributing it to the influence of bribery,
w thout acknowledging that of a name long asso-
ciated sith every ennobling and generous prin-
ciple of In edom which can inspire The bosoms of
Englishmen. This is at least a novel species of
attack by the hirelings of the Treasury. Perhaps
they h•rve in oniforinly found bribery efficacious,
that its the consciousness of their own weakness
they asi ril4e In it a perfect omnipotence, and
imagist that in every great went they can trace the
titivation of its presence. The great number of
Voters in %Vest ::: ll stet would, however, preclude
the possibility of purchasing theta, even thought the
public purse were opened for the market ; and of
this, se tiust, the Limitary will soon have a practi-
cal di owustration, by the defeat and exclusion of
the Court Candidate.

But if throttle of the poll be taken es the evi-
den' e of the grin-real iu Vi'rstniiiseer,
why are, the Treasury Prints silent with respect to
the et,usiesasieling situation of S.r SAMUEL RM.
