The Beagle, surveying ship, Commander Wickham, was at
King George's Sound on the 17th April. She was about t°
go to Swan River for a supply of provisions, havingveieli
endeavowed to find a river on the coast in that quarter;
the land expedition, under Lieut. Grey, had been equally un-
successful ; he had not been able to penetrate more than 7v
miles inland, and he had passed over much bad and stne4
country, with some patches of rich soil. He had found t%
natives very troublesome. On one occasion Mr. Grey 'ld
struck by three spears, and but for his powder-horn one Beagle
have passed through his breast. The boats of the ne,ag;
had surveyed the whole coast from Roebuck Bay to Die 7
George's Sound. Mr. Grey found a small fresh water ri•el;
uniotis",
which was explored for 60 miles, but it had no comm
tivtli the sea. Several other indentations gave hope of Irate
gable rivers, but they generally terminated in tnai,g,,— to
swamps. The thermometer ranged from 92 in the °Log
87 in the night, but the whole of the crew and the explori
parties were in perfect health. The Beagle would next Pr:b
coed with the unfinished surveys of Bass's Straits, and red
Sydney in August.
An order has this day been received at our Dockyard, eeti;
ermanding the destination of H. M. S. Pique. The f
chant steam-ship Sirius has been hired for the conveYsaediPg

in our harbour, and had there been fitting for the above r
pose till the new order arrived.

at the last Somerset-house sale by Mr. Levy, ship-breakcerfi'de
Chatham, was towed by the steamer to Chatham on oil-The
last, and on taking the ground, literally fell to pieces- the
forecastle broke short off from the body of the ship ; the
decks fell in, and the sides tumbled outwards, formingeni
most extraordinary wreck that perhaps was ever °dcoct
providentially no one was hurt. The ship was stare ° i%ti
at the Texel in 1799, and was very probably at least
years old.

was done in hops than we have noticed for many years yagerr
but as we did not expect more than a pocket or two °I 00y
hops could be ready for the fair, we did not anticipate many
country buyers. The only parcel of new hops sent os thu fair
was a small tump grown by Mr. Dent, of Munderfieljifered
