NEW SOUTH WALES.

In ourlast Number we made some -remarks on
the situation of New South Wales, and have since had the
pleasure to learn front an intelligent colonist that our opinions
are well founded respecting the general peaceful behaviour and
'inoffensiveness of the natives of New Holland. It is only on
the N.W.' shores that any thing like vindictive or ferocious con-
duct has been shown, and probably wherever this spirit has been
called4orth_a.ggreission and insult have caused it. We trust,
however, that even in that quarter any • angry- feelings will
not continue, as our Government have directed a new settle-
ment to be thrilled in Torres Straits, for wilich purpose the
ship Countess, of Harcourt, with 110 men, 40 women, and
25 children, accompanied by his Majesty's .ship Tamar;
Captain Bremer, was to sail on the 23th of August from
Sydney
.for Melville Island, or its vicinity. There, not only
the natives will have the advantage .of witnessing the good
effects of civilization, but the Malaya, Chinese, and other traf-
fickers, who have frequented the strsits for the purpose of taking
beck de mer, birds' nests, &c. will resort for the profit of bar-
tering their commodities and products for British manufactures.
Every praise is due to government for the promptitude dis-
aplayed in this instance of carrying into effect the suggestions
nd wishes of the merchants, who recommended the formation
of a colony on the northern coast of that immense island.—
Capt. Barlow, of the Buffs, was appointed commandant of the
new settlement.
It has been too much the fashion of some Journalists to at-
tribute every appointment of government to corrupt motives, or
under parliamentary influence; but, on turning our attention to
New South Wakt, a striking instance is exhibited to the con-
trary, as we believe that Gen. Darling, the newly appointed
governor, and Alexander Mac Leay, Esq. the new colonial se-
cretary, owe their nominations to merit and talent alone ; and
we know of no appointments which have recently afforded
so much satisfaction. The former, after performing the duties
of Assistant-Adjutant General at the Horse Guards, became
Provincial Governor of the Mauritius, when his attention to
the interests of the colony were conspicuous, and his urbanity
and discrimination universally admitted. The latter gentle-
man was Secretary. to the Transport Board during the whole of
the late war, and performed the most arduous duties with great
zeal and unremitting labour. He is also well known, not only
in this country, but over all Europe, as one of the most scien-
tific naturalists and horticulturists ; and the Linnwan Society
of London, of which he has long been the gratuitous secre-
tary, will deeply lament his absence. In such hands as these
we may confidently look forward to the increased prosperity of
the colony, which has already become an important acquisition
to the mother country, and cannot fail in a very few years,
from the fertility of its soil, the salubrity of its climate, and
the enterprise of its inhabitants, to stand amongst. the very
first of British possessions. It has our best wishes for its pros-
perity, and we shall, from time to time, lay before our readers
some valuable information respecting it..—(Telescope.)

Amongst the many new inventions on the tapir'
we should not lose sight of those which come imme-
diately within our daily and indeed almost hourly
wants., The articles we now allude to are those
of cocoa paste and prepared chocolate powder,
that is the cocoa, and chocola-t.e_nut manufactured
by an entire new and superior process, each of
which are so expeditiously prepared for use that
less than one minute of time only is required
to make them into a most agreeable beverage.
The great obstacle to the more frequent use of
both cocoa and chocolate has certainly arisen
from the difficulty of preparing them for table,
and families have preferred the daily use of tea
more from the simplicity of the mode of making
it than from choice on account of its virtues.—
The method of making the cocoa paste and cho-
colate poWder ready for use is still more simple
than tea, for it is merely required to put a spoon-
ful of either in your cup, pour the boiling water
thereon, and it is immediately ready for use, ad-
ding milk and sugar to your palate. The Public
are indebted to the house of DEACON and Co.
of the Coffee Mart,. Skinner-street, London, for
the improvements in the mode of manufacturing
cocoa paste and prepared chocolate powder which,
by their plan, will keep free from mould or turn-
ing musty for any length of time. This is a very
desirable invention, and, we hear, meets with
great encouragement from th© army and navy,
public schools, colleges, and the .inns of court,
through which channels we understand they are
introducing their articles of cocoa paste and pre-
pared chocolate .powder.---We wish them success.

We have received this tnorning from Paris
by Express, the Mode, dated yesterday. It ap-
pears by a private letter in this Journal from
Rehia, dated the 128th of November, that Omani-
pedal authority was expected to he re-established
in that town within a few days. The two
officers who assassinated the Governor, FELTS.
DERTO Gomm, have sailed for the United States,
but Captain MACARIO, who was one of the or-
ganizers of the insurrection, and by whose orders
the Governor was murdered, is still in the
town. Dissensions, however, had broken out
among the Republican Chiefs, and the Imperial
troops had taken advantage of them, and would,
in all probability, succeed in restoring the Em-
peror's authority.

The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday
arrived last night. The Public Offices were shut
on the latter day as the Anniversary of the death
of Louts XVI.; and we have not of course any
quotation of the Rentes that day, nor would
any Papers be published the following morn-
ing. The Mouiteur contains a Royal Ordi-

nance, authorising a Company to erect a new
bridge over the Rhone at Lyons, opposite the
Place du Concert ; it is to be called the bridge of
CIIARLES X. The Company are to be indemni-
fied by the privilege of levying, for 99 years, a
toll, as fixed by a tariff annexed to the Ordinance.
By the same mail with the papers, private let-
ters were received, from which it appears that
the Ministerial project of law for indemnifying
the Emigrants is the object of the most violent
and incessant attacks on the part of those for
whose benefit it is brought ferward, and that it
is very doubtful whether it will pass even the
Chamber of Deputies, over whom it was sup-
posed the influence of M. DE VILLELE was irre-
sistible. But whatever may he the fate of the
Minister's measure with the Deputies, the oppo-
sition it is sure to encounter in the Upper Cham-
ber renders it next to a certainty that it will
there be thrown out. The following are ex-
