VAN DIEMENISLAND CANT,

versus ENGLISH CANT.

From (11furray's Austral-Asiatic Review, of the 6th
of November.)

On Monday last the Legislative Council had a warm
and animated debate upon the two following motions,
which were made by Captains Forster and Swanston with
a view to their being embodied in the Police Act, now
passing through the Council on its road to the status of a
Colonial Law.
The first was to the effect, that no little boys shall be
allowed to play at any game whatever on a Sunday, within
any public place in any town in the Island.
The second was that no windmill nor watermill shall be
allowed to work on a Sunday.
We really know not which of the two propositions did
the highest credit to the religious zeal of the mover and
seconder. Yet on the division it was found that the Sir
Andrew Agnew 3 of Van Diemen's Land only counted
three followers out of the eleven members present I! Will
it be believed that both motions were lost by a majority of
Sto 3! ! We can only condole with the colony that the
heinous offence committed by half a dozen children in play-
ing at leap-frog on a Sunday is not to be punished by fine
and imprisonment, and that although cur Tasmanian Quix-
otes combine to attack and demolish the devoted wind-
mills, the inhabitants must still continue to have their de-
vout feelings disgusted by the irreligious and profane sight
of their revolving sails on the Sabbath Day. Their car-
riage wheels must certainly be the next sacrifice. No
wonder, then, that the House of Commons believes us to be
a most wretched and depraved community.
