-',We. have much satisfaCtion in receiving from Capt.
Bieoxs, of the Ship Alexander, lately arrivedfrotn
Botany Bay, ft more favourable account of the state
of that Colony than . could have been expected so
soon after the calamity of the precedingyear.• An
inundation of the River Hawkesbury Arad swept
,away the storehouses and stacks of corn in the
neighbourhood, A great scarcity of provisions • was
the immediate consequence. 'By the .wise and'elfec-
mat measures adopted by the Governor, Captain
the present pressure of that evil was greatly
alleviated. The prospect of a most abunthm t.harvest
November afforded to the settlers a, well ground-
' ed coutidencein the return' of plenty. 'And the gra-
naries, which by the diredion of the Governor, were
it~ittaediately to be rebuilt, would secure the Conti-
.nuance of that plenty. It is but justice to add,
that Capt. is indefatigable in the
.discharge
,ofhis tidy as-Governor of New South WaleS.•• At
Si4ney be nutonly advises and assists' the settlers,
„bin -Personally inspeCts their farms, gardens, and
.portichts ofland. He adopts with eagerness. every
J,IICJSI)-re which wisdom and patriotism can saggest
'for Ilse prosperity •of the colonists. The laws are
Carried Into stria execution, and iMtnorality ol:overy:
' 'kind repressed. The illicit intercourse between the
sexes,' Which has been but too prevalent in theCO-
lony, is discouraged and checked; marriage'
strongly recommended, and Married persons parti-
cularly assisted and preferred.
,The religious obser-::
vance of Sunday, and the Kegtilar attendance on pub,
lie worship, Is rigorously enforced. When , the
benign temperature of 'this 'Climate, the extrerue.
lielvess and fertility of its soil, and the influence:.
Which GOvertior BLIGH'S wise regulations promise,:
soon to hi4e upon the manners of the inhabitants,
are' cousidered,. Capt. BRooKs is firmly of opinion
that this Colony 'will speedily becotne a desirable.re-
sidence for speculators in husbandry and farthing, a
source of private Wealth to the inhabitants, and of
permanent- Commercial' benclit to the Ilietltit Conn-

1,':d;•, tie:lr theshop 01 Mr. Davioh, :Perfumer, in
I'L•ct-:4treet, .I'intrsday last, *as brought up for
ft ;-trier ekantiriati'dn. s The Lady wounded by the
pistol-Shot pronounced so dangerously hurt
that is Was urcortail „hat might be the conse-
quence, and of course she did not attend to give
evidence..

The sister of Munro being exatilined, stated, that
the:Prisoner came from Glasgow, where he former-
ly Rdpt a tobacconist's shop, and had lived with her
in London :,iitee January last. '.While he resided
he had been taken into custody for the
sanyf otrence, tiaincly, firing a pistol, and afterwards
discharged,'as he.prored to be,insane. 'He came to
England with the.waness, who knew he was de-
ranged in his intelleets, but since the first time of
discharging :a pistol, he had never attempted to hurt
any person until the-present affair occurred. It had
been his custom, 'during several months past, to
walk otit, at ten o'clock in' the morning, to various
parts of the.toWn,,and return in-the evening. A few
clays: since witness gave him a one pound note :Co
pn. rohase an umbrella, and he went out and bought
some article, which he locked up in his box, and she
was.of dpinion that-he bought a pistol'instead of an
umbrella, but was. not certain, as she'did not exa-
min-eh:s box. Ho was not married 'man, and
depended upon witness for support, whO poSSesied
property.
-The pistol being'.produced, Which was new, also
powdeX tnd balls, found in his pockets, Sir JOHN
'EAmER asked him,if he conld'assign any cause for
his conduCt. He answered, ‘4, Sometimes I had
caire„andsometirnes I had.not." •

cause had you yesterday ?—A. Yester-
day I wa4•not well. . • .

Where did: you-get the powder .and pistol
A. >G got the pistol by We. rninster Bridge, at the
West end of the town.

Q. Where did you get the balls ?—A. I bought
the balls with the pistol.
It appeared, by iris: answers to other interrogato-
ries, that he had the pistol loaded in his possession
`duffing seven or ejght days. It also appeared that he'
bac) purchased it-t. hut of whom, or in what street,
.co 'ld not be discovered. ~ . .
irloiiir EAMER observed, it was dangfrous to
Su -erithe Prisoner to be at large. A Man who
~could discharge a pistol in the public street, having
done the same thing before, ought to he taken,care
of, !and 11.;- thought it would be better for him' to
take his' trial upon the present charge; or to con-
fine him until his friends came fors.vard, and - un-
dertook the care of him. - His conded could only
be :attributable to insanity, as it. did not appear he.
had the-slightest knowledge of the Lady he fired at,
and it was better,- under all the circumstances, to
centrnit ,him to the Coropter, and order proper care
Ito be taken of him. The Prisoner was accordingly:
torritnittee for further' exarnniuiativa at the end of
Yen .. day s. . [

went a private examination, and was cOonitted-for
