surely had time to when to the situation of Ireland, for the

Lor t'afrt.r REAGII said. that wherever difficulties might sur-

temper it had been conducted on both sides of the House.
The Right Hon. timtlenisin who spoke last had particularly
infused that temper and conciliation into the debate. He was,

In a letaer, dated June the 20th, we have the followhtg ac.
count of the newly-discovered country in New Snuth Wales,
behind the Blue Mountains, which before the year 1614, was a
complete Terra Jneoguiln:•--
"The new country is but thinly peopled, anti its natives re-
semble much those about Sydney, though their language is
very different: they differed also in. being well covered whh
kangaroo skins, sewed together very neatly with sinews of the
emus; they wore the fur side next their skins, and on the
upper or flesh side they bad picked,. very ingeniously at d re-
gularly. ornamental devices, among which were crosses. They
see•oted to be a laughing,. g,:colmatured people, without
savac,• uarlike spirit or fury of the Sydney natives. They hail
with them tamed native dogs, with which I fancy they caught
kangaroos. Their spears ale heavy and clumsy, and they
tlu•uw them only a short distance out of their bands, like the
New Zealanders.

" The day we left Badrirst Plains, tho Governor dispatelival
Mr. Evans, Deputy Land Stirs evor, with two men and horses,
to procced,as far as he could to the westward. lie returned a
few days ask), after haring penetrated in a due west direction
11. i miles from Bathurst. 11e reports all the track of country
he ihtssed over to be even lulu rior to that we explored, and
mach more thickly peopled; which he attributes to the asto-
nishing herds he constantly. saw of kangaroos and emus, on
which the natives- subsisted, together with abundance of fish,
which a estisideiably-sized river, running to the westward,
abounded with.

"The river is nearly the size of the llawkeshury ; and, as
far as lie can judge, may he easily explored with a boat, or tra-
velling along its banks, through a. beautiful plain fertile coun-
try. He has brought with him hillier w large quantity of the
finest manna I have ever seen, whiob he collected among the
grass and in the burnt fields, whiek he described to be cluster-
ed with it, in small pieces. I conclude it to be the produce of
our locust insect !Tetigonia); either what those insects have
deposited in the grass, or what they routained.when they were
destroyed by the grass taking lire. The native, were very shy,
and almmed at his appearance.. He limed whole mountains of
tine blue lime-steam, and'a profusion et' the common uuva mina
pebbles, topazes., and crystals, usually riumulon the coast of
bass's strait:. The- country is well wooded ; end' among the
trees are numerous pines, 40 feet high, without a brawah. The
soil and pasturage is rich in the extreme."
