AUSTRALIAN EXPLORATION.

The following sketch of the journey aoross the
continent of Australia, by Messrs. Burke and Wills,
in a letter from the Governor of Victoria to Sir
Roderick Murchison, was read before the Royal
Geographical Society on the 13th of January;--
" My dear Sir Roderick,—Knowing the interest
which you have ever taken in the exploration
of the interior of Australia, and that you
still occupy the post of Vice-President of the Royal
Geographical Society, it was my intention to ad-
dress you fully by the present mail steamer respect-
ing the Victorian expedition under Burke and Wills
which you will learn has achieved the honour of
first crossing from sea to sea, by a route far distant
and utterly distinct from that of M'Donall Stuart;
from whose great fame as an explorer I have not the
least desire to detract.

"I wished, indeed, as the expedition had cost the
gallant leaders of it their lives, to narrate in a con-
nected form its design and history from the very
commencement, in order that it might serve the
Geographical Society as a record, and prevent any
misconception of the eauses whieli have marred its
triumphant result.
" 1 find, however, that, the of other
prevent my carrying -out this ticNign, and
n►ust content n►ys:elf therefore with tor wardiur
I the uewspapera con Wu the l„ t:1 report of
what hie: reeently come to tight, together with the
diaries of Burke and Wills as published in a pamphlet
form, and lastly with a map of Australia on which-our
Surveyor-General has added to other recent ex-
plorations a reduced tracing of the track of the ex-
pedition, from the depot on Cooper's Creek to the
Gulf of Carpentaria, where it struck, as would ap-
pear, the Minder's River, and not the ' Albert,' as
the explorers supposed.
" I would refer you at the same time for precise
details of the whole enterprise to my several de-
spatches of Aug. 21, 1860, July 20 and Nov. 20,
1861, which I am confident the Duke of Newcastle
will put at your disposal for the information of the
Geographical Society, if applied to.
" On one account I am not sorry to be obliged to
postpone a detailed communication on the subject,
for it would be difficult to tell the sad story of the
sufferings and death of the brave men who returned
to the spot where they expected to find friends and
ample store of provisions and clothing only to find
the depot abandoned, and to perish miserably in
default of assistance, without at least implying blame
in some quarter or other, and, as a good deal is still
enveloped in mystery, and I have appointed a com-
mission of inquiry to take evidence and report
4.hereupon, it would obviously be improper in me to
anticipate their conclusions.

"The sole survivor of the party who crossed the
continent, John King, once, I believe, a soldier in
India, is expected to reach Meibourne to-night,
and with the aid of his recollections of the journey
the Surveyor-General hopes to be enabled to add
to the chart on a large scale, which he is con-
structing from Mr. Wills's Field Books, fuller
particulars as to the nature of the country, as well
to supply some blanks which were evidently left to
be filled in afterwards, especially in regard to the
route back, which, from the determination at our
observatory of one of his earlier camps, from an ob-
servation of one of the planets which is recorded,
seems to have been considerably to the eastward of
the course pursued in going, though this is not ex-
pressly so stated.
" I need hardly add that as soon as Mr. Ligar
finishes this chart I will send you copies of it, as
also of the report of the commission of inquiry.
"The country towards Carpentaria, or Burke's
Land—as I hope it will be called—seems so good
that there can be little doubt of the formation, at
no distant date, of a colony on the shores of that
estuary—a project which you have long, I know,
had at heart ; and before we recall the several
parties sent out for the relief of the missing expe-
dition I trust we shall be able so far to complete the
task as to connect the settled country by Mr.
Howitt's aid with Burke's Land by the best pos-
sible route, and, by means of the party sent by sea
in the Victoria steamer, to add greatly to our know-
ledge of the gulf, and of the embouchure of the dif-
ferent rivers falling into it.—Believe, me ever, my
dear Sir Roderick, yours very truly,

" HENRY BARI-MY.

" Government Offices, Melbourne, Nov. 25, 1861.
" P.S.—After I had finished my letter I received
a memorandum from the Surveyor-General respect-
ing Mr. Wills's astronomical observations, which is
of so much importance that I enclose it for your in-
formation, not having time to get a copy of it.

BEALTII OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

(From the_l4lstrar-Generars Weekly Return.)

The mortality in London returned for the week
that ended last Saturday was excessively high ; the
number of deaths was 1;561. But it was exceeded
by the births in the same period, which were 1,881.
The average mu of deaths in eorrecponding
wet.kt, of ten previous years (corrected) is 1,4.10. It.
Appears that iltirink; the last wetk 1 7 persons died
' daily iii excess of the number that would
if the estiwted rate of mortality had ruled.
Tlic ‘,,,e1: has been fatal to ver,:oro. in advanced
life. The deaths in Ow previous return at 0) years
(,f ;Igo anal upwards were tfs7 ; in the present re-
turn they are 3sl. There are no less than
nonagenarians, whose tale of car is told ; of
whom had arrived at the age of 95, 2at 97. Besides
these, there aro two centenarians—a widow, aged
100 years, who died at 6, George-place, Greenwich;
and another widow, whose age is reported to have
been 102, and who died in the workhouse, Princes-
street, St. George-in-the-East. Amongst the former
is a man, 97 years and 11 months, who had served
on board the Venerable and the Belltehrooptrehooen,,abuudt

to 170.
Twelve deaths, all except one those of infants,
were caused by suffocation. The Registrar of Holy-
well subdistrict, Shoreditch, draws attention to the
fact that in his return alone are recorded three
deaths from suffocation in bed.
The wife of a shoemaker in Westminster, and
another married woman brought from 8, Mint-
street, to the workhouse, Borough-road, died from
want. A labourer died in St. Mary's Hospital
from the "inhalation of chloroform."
The mortality from scarlatina did not increase
last week, but the deaths from diphtheria rose to
27, which seems to indicate that the complaint thus
designated is more dependent than the former on
that state of the weather which aggravates bron-
chial affections. Scarlatina was fatal in Kentish
Town and Fulham.
Last week the births of 918 boys and 963 girls, in
all 1,881 children were registered in London. In
the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1861-60
the average number (corrected) wax 1,903.

The suspension of specieLpayments in America is
an event which, during pie 'past six months, has
been so. entirely capable of demonstration as certain
to happen at a given period, that its announcement
to-day has been received almost as a matter of
course. Its immediate effect upon commerce will be
unimportant, and the only inconvenience on this
side will fall upon the holders of bonds payable in
dollars—a comparatively small body, the coupons a
most of the American securities held in Europe being
payable in sterling at a fixed exchange. The poli-
tical effect, however, cannot fz it to he very Eerieut,.
It will either shorten the war, or lead to the flooding
of the country with a currency destined to decline in
value day by day, until all confidence is paralysed
from the dread of ultimate repudiation. If the
warning is accepted by the Federal Government in
its true significance, they will see that a continuance
of their present scale of outlay is out of the question,
and that if the war against the South cannot be
conducted at less cost there is no alternative but
to come to some pacific a'ljustmcnt. It is to be
fearet, however, from recent experience, that the
stoppage
course will be preferred. For months putt
the assertions made in England that the present
was inevitable have been copied into all
the.leading American papers only for the purpose of
assuring the ignorant multitude that the prediction
would prove totally erroneous, and that they could
not do better than bring out their hoarded specie
for investment in the Government loans. A similar
policy of delusion therefore must now be expected,
and, as the manufacture of "money" in the shape
of notes will henceforth not be liable to any check
other than that which may ultimatelyaise from
popular suffering, consequent on the discpysry that
when offered in exchange for bread, ter--,.§c
wine, or ..any other necessary, the w '.-iiit ' '
I 'scarcely., anythipg, o.lo:oowiFira4cl c0,4*..- •, ;','lii):
,one of unparalleled , rarildity._ AlieaVitit-ritte Of:: .. ,
exchange has advanced to 112, and for the future
in its
.various movements we shall week by week
be presented with an index of the extent to which

the Federal Government are going beyond their
available means. Meanwhile, it may be expected
that the prices of some of the stocks in the New
York market will advance,. because the quotations
will represent, not the 'value of these securities in
specie, but in the inconvertible notes, which are
likely to be issued in profusion. At the same time
it must be borne in mind that -railway and other
property, the tolls of which admit of being ad-
justed and increased to meet the depreciation in
the value of the currency, need not necessarily be
injured by the measure. All commercial debts to
foreigners also must, of course, be remitted in the
currency of the country where the debt is con-
tracted or its equivalent. The home annuitants,
and all the classes that depend upon rents or pay
at fixed terms, are those by whom the pressure
will first be felt, and when the army and navy, as
well as the members of Congress and Government
officials, shall have attained thorough experience of
the practical working of the system, the test of their
patriotism will be complete.— rmi.,k' Artie/c.

SOUTIIAMPTW-:, jAN. 14.

Her Majesty's ship Argus has been placed at the
service of Capt. Patey, R.N., the Admiralty Super-
intendent here, for the purpose of conveying de-
spatches to the Dauntless frigate, and other pur-
poses, rendered necessary by the presence of the
Confederate and Federal war steamers Nashville
and Tuscarora in our waters. The Argus is sta•
tioned at the mouth of the docks.

It is believed that the mysterious movement of the
Tuscarora yesterday, in leaving her moorings, was a
ruse to prevent the Nashville getting under weigh
for 24 hours, since, the former having left, the latter
could not start for a day and a night afterwards.
Southampton, it is said, will be the head-quarters
of the Tuscarora for a year or two. It is said that
the orders of the Tuscarora are never to lose sight
of the Nashville for a longer period than absolutely
necessary; to blockade her in Southampton, and
if she once leaves to chase her as long as she is at
sea. It is thought that the Tuscarora would have
not such particular charge of a feebly-armed ship
like the Nashville, when it is known where a dan-
gerous ship like the Sumter is, if some other Federal
man-of-war is not on the look out for the elgrirg
privateer. Some of the guns of the Tuscarora are
nearly 11 feet in length. Both Captains Pegrim
and Craven have each a son, an officer, on board
their respective ships. The Royal Mail steamer
Seine brought very few passengers yesterday, Ame-
ricans being afraid to travel on account of the Trent
affair, and because Federal and Confederate war-
ships are in the track of the English mail packets.
At St. Thomas the Federal man-of-war Quaker
City would hold no communication with any one,
Even the English Admiralty agents were not
allowed "On board. This conduct was pursued, it
was understood, in order that the movements of the
Quaker City in search of the Confederate privateer
Sumter might be kept secret. -This port is likely
to be very shortly crowded with American war
vessels, both Federals and Confederates, who will
be watching each other, while British men-of•war
will be watching both. Even the Tuscarora and
the Nashville here impose a considerable expense
on the British Government, as every movement of
the belligerents has to be taken cognisance of and
reported night and day,
