HEW SOUTH TTALBS.

The fiwitowing are extracts of a letter from Tur-
ner to his wife It will be recollected that he with
others, at the Assizes at Derby, about two years
since, when Ludham and Brandreth were convicted,
was allowed to plead guilty,l and thus •to save their
forfeited life:—
New. South Wales, June el. 1113.
We have bads pretty good passage, walleye been middling
well treated ; muchbetter than the general nut of those that were
with et. We are all much dieappointelin• not having had our
freedom on our arrival. as was promised us. Lam working fur
Government from day light till, tiro o'clock in the afternoon ;
after that time I work fur myself, sad can minas much as I
could get furs whole day in England ; therefore was I oa
own hands• I could get a very pretty living lam very well
considering ray situation, as I live with an old man and woman,
who is constable to the Governor, and they treat me as one of
thcm'elves. Indeed, I hove partly egreud with them for aau
acres farm.

" Now, my dear wife, if you wish for us to meet again, and
end our days to happiness, let m advise you to apply to the Se-
enaary of btate,to give you an order for a passage to this country
tree of espence..and I shall be restored to you on your arrival
If it be agreeable to my brother Joseph to apply likewise to come
as a settlers I.should much urge him to it. He 'add be
granted a farms and provisions horn the stores for six months;
but, however. he would not want that t: and he would be able to
gain a little •fortune in a few years, as ouebusiness is one of the
best in this country, and farming is as good. There is no rent
nor taxes to pay. Wheat is in general toe a. Intsbei ; Indian
corn 3s. ; beet Gel, a pound ; mutton and pork ad. and gd. , the
pork is very good. beef and mutton middling ; useable tea and
sugar very cheap; tioathing is rather cheap. The natives are
slender people. Swedi,h iron it 6d. apound ; sheet, is. ad. If
you can get the works et: an eight-day cluck it will fetch a good
pricc here. We are building a Nlethudist Chapel. and I hare
engaged for the cutting of the stone • relsgion is strongly pa-
tronized by the Governor and the heads act the Colony. 'the
stone of the. country is remarkably. white. and works kindly.
The buckling here is very. coarse, for want of good im.thanics ;
the workmen arc chiefly Insh.that know but little about budding.
The timber is very. good.. both for house building and for kr-
niture ; it chiefly consists of cedar for furniture. New Zeeland
pine for building, and oak stringers instead of tiles; the
oak apple tree chiefly foe Bring. We Mae no limestone ; the lime
is wane of burnt shells. We have plenty..uf genie, both tish
fowl. and no game acts to pay.
'• My nephew, Joseph'turner (called Manchester Turner), is
very well, and is overseer to Captain 31iInholders, who sain;e in
thexhip with me. John Hill, one of the Derby convicts. front
Southwingtield, is well ; and lie is up the country about to miles
from Sidney, wsth a gentleman. Our winter is your summer.
We hare plenty of (suit ; poaches in abundance ; lemons and
oranges,andqUiintiilith of vegetables. here are U.: handsomest
binls in the world.

•' I very much wish my brother Joseph to come, as it would
be the making of us. The passage is nothing to what it used to
be,.as they remit us in atoput four months; very few die in the
passage.—Emptire for me at John Dow's near Government
Mores, Sidney. New South Wales.
