T " EMIGRANT FAMILY;
Or the
STORY OF AN AUSTRALIAN SETTLER.
By the Author of "Settlers and Convicts."
" This is what Milton called a real book—a book calculated to afford
solid information as well as lively entertainment. The author's know-
ledge of Australian life is extensive and exact, and lie has turned it
to profitable account. The whole scene and business of thu colony
is placed before you, breathing with life."—Daily News.
"The characters are drawn with great distinctness, the incidents
are natural and striking ; there are many passages of great power
and pathos, and the truth of local colouring imparts a charm to the
fiction."—Atlas.
" Intermixed with the story are many sketches of a settler's life,
and the almost romantic incidents that frequently occur en the out-
skirts of the coleny."—Spectator.
" The story reads like truth—the chief merit of fiction."—Globe.

PRUSSIA.

The Committee of the Prussian Chamber of De-
puties on the German question resolved, on the 31t,
ult., to propose to the Chamber to ratify the constitu-
tion promulgated by the three Kings to support the
Ministry in its German policy, and to modify the
Prussian constitution so as to make its provisions
agree with that of the three Sovereigns.
The Legislative Chamber of _Bremen has just
voted, by 118 votes to 103,:the adhesion of the Govern-
ment to the constitution of the three Kings, but that
of LUBECK, by a majority of two, has taken a contrary
decision. It is, however, not believed that LUBECK
will persist in this resolution.
A letter from Ilamburgh of the 31st ult. states that
part of the Prussian forces had left that city, and
that the Prussian garrison was to be ndUced to
4,000 men.

Mr. Ellis Roberts, who won the prize harp at the

his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The intima-

from Colonel Anson to the Hon. G. Rice Trevor, M.P.,
viz.:—" Mr. Anson presents his compliments to Lieu-
tenant• Colonel Trevor, and has much pleasure in in-
forming him that her Majesty the Queen has graciously
appointed Mr. Ellis Roberts harpist to his Royal High-

tutor to his Royal Highness.—North Wales Chronicle.

METROPOLITAN.

The opening paper of the Metropolitan, " Have
you ever been Behind the Scenes ?" is, we fear, an
" ower true tale ;" it exhibits a sad picture of heart-
lessness on the part of the aristocratic hero, and
of unmerited suffering on the part of the unfor-
tunate heroine. The author of " Swissiana "
contributes a new translation (at least the
thousandth) of Schiller's "Walk to the Forge."
There is also a review of Mr. Buckingham's
very Utopian project for a model town of 10,000
persons, from which all intoxicating liquors or sub-
stances, and all weapons of war, as well as all
gunpowder and other explosive compounds, and to-
bacco, in every shape, is to be excluded ; besides
continuations of the various novels and romances in
the course of publication in the Metropolitan, and
some very tolerable poetry.

THE COLONIAL.
The articles in the September number of this
periodical are characterised by the usual ability
with which matters are treated in its pages relating
to the interests of our colonial empire. We would
particularly direct the attention of the reader to the
" Strictures on the Policy of Lord Hardinge in India,
and of Lord Torrington in Ceylon." The tyrannous
proceedings of the latter nobleman are justly held
up to reprobation—proceedings worthy of " the
precepts of Machiavel, and perhaps the practice
of the Borgias."

" WOOLRICH ARSENAL.

" M. 53, waterman. cholera 12 hours, August 26, on
board a coal hulk off Woolwich.—A man of very in•
temperate habits; he had an attack of diarrhea early in
the morning, and afterwards went out rowing on the
river, drinking ale and spirits, upon which he got worse
and took tincture of rhubarb, then sent for medical as-
sistance, but too late to be of any avail."
Such are a few only of the numerous instructive cases
contained in the Registrar-General's last weekly report•
It is to be regretted that in those districts where cholera
has been most severe the particulars of each case are
most scanty. This perhaps is inevitable from the ad-
ditional amount of work thrown upon the registrars. The
difficulty, however, might be met by their furnishing a
short report as to the condition of those spots in their
districts in which the epidemic had manifested itself with
the greatest virulence.

PLYMOUTH, MONDAY, SEPT. 3.
At Plymouth the cholera has given some evidences of
abatement. The deaths for the week ending on the 2d
inst. are 54, against 61 for the previous week, and 84 for
the week ending on the 19th ult. The deaths for the
week, daily, are August 27th, 8; 28th, 10; 29th, 7;
30th, 13; 31st, 4; Sept. Ist, 2; and 2d, 10. One re-
markable feature in the present visitation of the disorder
in Plymouth has prevailed throughout, viz , the attacks
tieing confined almost exclusively to the labouring, the
pauper, and the itinerant classes, especially the latter.
Quarry-court, in Stonehouse-lane, where the disorder
tii st appeared, was depopulated, and thoroughly cleansed
by the local board of health. The structure of the place,
however, and the mode of its occupation, are circum-
stances over which the board has no control. This in-
fectious vicinity is being fast occupied again by vagrants,
who nightly crowd the small, ill-ventilated. rooms, bring-
ing a large revenue to the landlords, and a serious evil
to the town, the ratepayer& of which have to provide
food and medicine for them directly they are overtaken
by sic' nete or went, real or feigned.

THE BRAZILS.

FALMOUTH, SEPT. 4.--Her Majesty's packet Pe-
terel, Lieutenant Creser, commander, arrived last
night with the Brazil mails. Her dates of departure
are :—Rio de Janeiro 10th July, Bahia 23d ditto,
and Pernambuco 29th ditto. She brings about
25,0001. on freight, and the following passengers,
viz.:—Mr. H. ',which, Mrs. Truss and son, his
Excellency Senor Antonio de Lima and son, Mr.
Williams, and Mr. Kludschmidt. She left at
Rio her Majesty's steam-sloops Hydra and Rat-
tler; Brazilian ships of war Don Affonco, Guapiassu,
Urania, Berenice, Oriente, and Parana ; American
ships of war, Brandywine, Falmouth, and Supply;
Portuguese ships of war, Vasco de Gama and Iris ;
and French frigate Galati. Her Majesty's brigantine
Griffon was at Pernambuco.
Exchange at Rio was 25c., Bahia 25c., and Per-
nambuco 251 c. This arrival brings no general or
political news. Business at Rio continues dull. In
freights few transactions bad been done. The month
previous to the Peterel's departure the number
of disengaged vessels in that port was small, but
satisfactory news from Europe or the United States
would cause a rise in the rates, which were then as
follows :—Coffee in bags (other goods in proportion),
Antwerp, 455.; for Belgian flag, channel, 425. 6d. to
505.; London, 40s. to 455. ; Liverpool, 405.; United
States, 60c. to 80c.
At Rio—The English ship Hamilton, from Cardiff
for Coquimbo, was outside, refreshing. John Hor-
rocks barque, for Islay, from Liverpool, was under
repairs, and the following British vessels were in the
port disengaged :—Ship Fatima ; barques Cynthia,
Alice Brooks, and Ann Bates ; brigs Jane Black,
Rover's Bride; schooners, John Murray, Robina,
and Commodore. The following were loading for
London :—English batque Tasmania, schooner Ar-
chimedes ; for Liverpool—English bai goes Ben
Moich Dhu and Etnilia ; Channel—Prussian brig
Titania, and English barque Indus ; for Antwerp—
barque Adele and schooner National.
Her Majesty's schooner Spider, which arrived at
Rio with the River Plate mails a week previously to
ttie sailing of this packet, reports things to be as per
t advices in that quarter.

THE NORTHERN STATES

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The intelligence of the arrest of BEM in Transyl-
vania is not confirmed; it was reported in Vienna on
the 30th ult. that he, together with KOSSUTM and
DEMBINSKI, had passed through Semlin, en route fur
Constantinople. Klausenberg was occupied by the
Russians on the 15th ult.
The journals of Vienna of the 30th ult. state that
the greater part of the garrison of Comorn had left
the fiirtress and laid down their arms at Gran, but
that the remainder of the garrison positively refused
to surrender. The fortress of Peterwardein had
not been given up by the insurgents, but General
Kiss, the commander, has made overtures for sub-
mission.

The General Correspondence of Vienna states that
a Protestant minister and a printer had been shot al
Pe-6th for having been found with arms in their pos
session.

It is stated in a letter from Vienna of the 30th ult.,
that the statements which have been made of Russia
intending to exercise its influence on behalf of the
Magyars is totally unfounded.
A Vienna letter announces that the Count LEI-
NINGEN has been shot at Arad for having served in the
Hungarian army, he was, it is said, a relation of the
Queen of ENGLAND.
General HAYNAU bas ordered the Jews of the Banat
to deliver to the Austrian army, within four months,
100,000 havresacks, 10,000 cloaks, 10,000 pairs of
shoes, and 5,000 pairs of boots. For every day's delay
the Jews are to pay Loom: fine. At Arad the Austrian
General SCHLICK has also exacted considerable con.
rributions from the Jews; but the Lloyd': says that
in the latter town the Jews were getting themselves
baptised Christians.

A letter from Pesth of the 28th says that General
HAYNAU arrived in that city on the preceding day.
A letter from Ischl states that about a fortnight
ago the Archduke FRANCIS CHARLES requested the
hand of the national guard to repeat a particular air
which they had played under his window. Whilst
they were so engaged, Count WUBMBRAND, an
aide-de-camp of the Prince, came up and
angrily ordered them to cease, adding that
he was disgusted at seeing workmen in uniform.
This excited the indignation of the musicians, and
they were with difficulty prevented from giving the
Count a charavari. The next day they sent a depu-
tation to the ARCHDUKE to complain of the Count's
conduct. His Imperial Highness was excessively
indignant, and called on the Count for an immediate
explanation. The Count expressed his regret at what
had occurred, but the Prince rebuked him and
ordered bim to go to the balcony to make a public
apology to the people, and afterwards leave the town.
This order was obeyed by the Count.
The French semi-official Patrie of last night an•
nounces, on the faith of letters from Vienna, that
KOSSUTH, BEM, and DEMBINSKI have arrived in safety
at Constantinople.
London, England, 1849-09-05

"BERMONDSEY; St. James.

" Mr. Martin, the registrar of St. James', Bermondsey,
appends the following note to his return:—` It will be
observed that six of the deaths registered this week have
occurred on the banks of the disgusting tidal ditch so
often reported, now rendered more offensive than ever
from a great length of its narrow part having been
covered in; nearly all the refuse from the very poorest
houses have accumulated at that part of the ditch near
to the new water pipes, and where, under the window of
a typhus patient of mine, might have been seen the
bodies of thirteen dead dogs and cats on one day this
week, beside other offensive-matter. As district surgeon,
I have, with great respect, but perfect sincerity, warned
the authorities of the fearful and tremendous respon-
sibility they are incurring.'
" SOUTHWARK; Borough-road.
"To the cases in the neighbourhood of the Borough-
road the following report is appended :—' With reference
to the various streets and dwellings in which deaths
from cholera and diarrhoea have occurred this week, any
observations I could make would be but a repetition of
those conveyed in last week's return ; indeed, the
whole of this district, with the exception of the
leading thoroughfares, may be said to be densely
populated ; it is truly astonishing oftentimes to
find the number of persons who live in the same
house. Of the 14 cases which have occured in the work-
house, it will be seen only one was an inmate. Many
of the other 13 were persons brought in when the disease
had done its worst for them; one did not survive a quer
ter of an hour after admission, and some only a few
hours, I have ascertained also that several were per-
sons of very questionable reputation and habits; still,
the sudden and great increase this week over the pre-
ceding clearly shows that those localities which have
been visited by the epidemic, and where it appears par •
tially to have subside d, are by no means to calculate on
security at the present, as will be seen by the following:
—ln the weeks ending August 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th,
the numbers were 48, 28, 25, and 21. This week
have registered 33, hence the importance of increased
watchfulness and increased exertions; and this applies
not only to the authorities, but to tradesmen, employers
of workpeople, and heads of families; who can often
impart advice and instruction to their neighbours and
dependents with greater effect than official communica-
tions produce; and thus, whilst the guardians of the
poor and the medical officers of the various parishes are
endeavouring to fulfil their duties, let those to whom I
have referred strengthen their hands and aid their
efforts.' _ _ _

with which matters are treated in its pages relating
to the interests of our colonial empire. 'We would
particularly direct the attention of the reader to the
" Strictures on the Policy of Lord Hardinge in India,
and of Lord Torrington in Ceylon." The tyrannous
proceedings of the latter nobleman are justly held
up to reprobation—proceedings worthy of " the
precepts of llachiavel, and perhaps the practice

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have arrived.
It is said that an intrigue is on foot to procure the
abdications of the Queens of SPAIN and PORTUGAL,
the marriage of the son of the Queen of PORTUGAL
with the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of MONT••
PENSIER, and the union of the two kingdoms under
the rule of the Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER.
the object in view being the annihilation of English
influence in the Peninsula, which is to be given over
as an appanage to the Orleans family in exchange for
the withdrawal of their pretensions in France. In
allusion to this precious intrigue we find the following
in the Riforma:—
" The journals of a neighbouring kingdom make im-
portant revelations respecting negotiations or intrigues
between statesmen hero and those in power at Lisbon.
They are of such a nature that we dare not venture to
translate them. Amongst others, the Patriota is parti.
cularly explicit. It speaks of a project of mutual ab-
dication; of the dethronement of personages who have
not yet reached maturity ; of the acknowledgment of
certain rights and the waiving of others; of future re-
gencies, &c ; in a word, the manifestation is so seri,.us,
that doubtless the organs of the Government will be
forced to notice it, arid make same • xplicit declaration.
Meanwhile we abstai❑ from making further comments.
We expect further information, since silence would
sanction these rumours, and compel us to take them into
consideration, in order to ascertain what is their
foundation."

The Clamor Publico of Madrid, of the 30th ult.,
says that bills drawn by the Spanish Government on
a town of Italy for half a million of reals, for the pay-
ment of the troops forming the Spanish expedition,
Lad been returned protested.

LAMBETII; Waterloo• road ( lat Part).

"M. 3, son of a journeyman carpenter, cholera, 14
hours, August 25, 9, Le Grand-place.—Le Grand-place,
where these four deaths occurred, is a small place, con-
taining 12 houses, situate at the back of the Waterloo-
road; one end is close to the wall of the churchyard,
the other runs into a mews at the back of Stamford-
street; the houses have, I believe, two rooms each;
they are densely populated; and the entrance from the
Waterloo-road is the site of nuisances which increase
the pestiferous atmosphere breathed by, the inhabitants.
" M. 20, shoemaker, natural death, cholera 11 hours,
July 25, 5, Bate's-buildings, Broadwall. Inquest.
Bate's-buildings is one of the narrow courts in Broad-
wall crossing the boundary sewer. The house No. 5 has
been the scene of more than one tragedy; a brother of
deceased, a youth of 12 or 14, hung himself—by accident,
it was presumed; a younger sister died of cholera i❑
July; the mother was next taken ill, and removed to the
workhouse, where she also died of cholera; the next
death was the one now registered. The father, a shoe-
maker, was in the hospital during the period of the ill-
ness and death of his wife and two children.

PRUSSIA.

The Committee of the Prussian Chamber of De-
puties on the German question resolved, on the 31,,t
ult., to propose to the Chamber to ratify the constitu
tion promulgated by the three Kings to support the
Ministry in its German policy, and to modify th,
Prussian constitution so as to make its provision:
agree with that of the three Sovereigns.
The Legislative Chamber of Bremen has jus'
voted, by 118 votes to 103,.the adhesion of the Govern-
ment to the constitution of the three Kings, but that
of LUBECK, by a majority of two, has taken a contrary
decision. It is, however, not believed that LUBECK
will persist in this resolution. .

A letter from flamburgh of the 31st ult. states that
part of the Prussian forces had left that city, and
that the Prussian garrison was to be reduced to
4,000 men.

Note.—The above returns include 243 deaths from
cholera i❑ the metropolis, which are given in the re-
turns of the union officers. The number of attacks
reported by the union officers are—tor the metropolis
479, and for the country 611; but their returns do at t,
in general, comprehend the cases that are treated by
medical men in private practice.

The continued violence with which cholera manifests
itself in the metropolis will render interesting the follow-
ing extracts of the more remarkable cases included in
the Registrar-General's returns:—

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The intelligence of the arrest of BEM in Transyl-
vania is not confirmed; it was reported in Vienna on
the 30th ult. that he, together with KOSSUTH and
DEMBINSKI, had passed through Semlin, en route for
Constantinople. Klausenberg was occupied by the
Russians on the 15th ult.
The journals of Vienna of the 30th ult. state that
the greater part of the garrison of Comorn had left
the fortress and laid down their arms at Gran, but
that the remainder of the garrison positively refused
to surrender. The fortress of Peterwardein had
not been given up by the insurgents, but General
Kiss, the commander, has made overtures for sub-
mission.

The General Correspondence of Vienna states that
a Protestant minister and a printer had been shot at
i'esth for having been found with arms in their pos-
session.

It is stated in a letter from Vienna of the 30th ult.,
that the statements which have been made of RUESIII
intending to exercise its influence on behalf of the
Magyars is totally unfounded.

A.Vienna letter announces that the Count LEI-
NINGEN has been shot at Arad for having served in the
Hungarian army, he was, it is said, a relation of the
Queen of ENGLAND.
General HAYNAU has ordered the Jews of the Banat
to deliver to the Austrian army, within four months,
100,000 havresacks, 10,000 cloaks, 10,000 pairs of
shoes, and 5,000 pairs of boots. For every day's delay
the Jews are to pay I,ooof. fine. At Arad the Austrian
General SCEILICK has also exacted considerable con-
tributions from the Jews; but the Lloyds says that
in the latter town the Jews were getting themselves
baptised Christians.

A letter from Pesth of the 28th says that General
HATNAU arrived in that city on the preceding day.
A letter from Ischl states that about a fortnight
ago the Archduke FRANCIS CHARLES requested the
band of the national guard to repeat a particular air
which they had played under his window. Whilst
they were so engaged, Count
URMBRAND, an
aide-de-camp of the Prince, came up and
angrily ordered them to cease, adding that
he was disgusted at seeing workmen in uniform.
This excited the indignation of the musicians, and
they were with difficulty prevented from giving the
Count a charavari. The next day they sent a depu-
tation to the ARCHDUKE to complain of the Count's
conduct. His Imperial Highness was excessively
indignant, and called on the Count for an immediate
explanation. The Count expressed his regret at what
had occurred, but the Prince rebuked him and
ordered him to go to the balcony to make a public
apology to the people, and afterwards leave the town.
This order was obeyed by the Count.
The French semi-official Patrie of last night an
nounces, on the faith of letters from Vienna, that
KOSSUTH, BE m, and DEMBINSKI have arrived in safety
at Constantinople.

ings abounds with noxious effluvia. The privies are most
offensive, the water scarcely fit to drink; heaps of refuse
matter constantly thrown about by the costermougers,
hosts of whom reside in this locality. Pigs, horses, rabbits,
and all sorts of animals are kept hereabouts. lam told
the fish, vegetables, &c., in which the people deal, are at
night frequently placed under the bed. There are two
cats'-meat dealers in Apollo-buildings, the stench from
which is much complained of. The landlord refuses to

can leave it.

complained of, but not yet removed.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, AuG. 31.—His Majesty, accompanied by
the Minister Bruck, will shortly visit -Trieste, and
probably also the Italian States. His Majesty will
return by way of Agram.
'1 he nomination of Lieutenant Field-. Marshal
Gyulac as Governor of Hungary has not yet been
delinitively settled, as the Government is desi-
rous of having the opinion of Baron Jellachich,
who expected to arrive here to-morrow.
The negotiations with the commandant of Comorn,
according to the Presse, have up to this time had no
definite reallt. 'the principal insurgents, it is said,
are taking advantage of the fortnight's armistice.
14.000 men of the garrison, which is 20,000 strong,
have already embarked for Gran, where they have
laid Oown th.-ir arms. 6,000 men, for the moat part
volunteers, still remain in the fortress, resolved to
defend it to the last extremity.
According to a letter in the Presburg Gazette from
Comoro, lapka and the Magyar officers are unani-
inously agreed to surrender the fortress ; but the
Austrian officers who have joined their ranks are
apprehensive of the sentence of death, and therefore
persist in defending it to the last extremity, and have
drawn over a part of the troops to their resolution.
Count Esterhazy denies, in the Wiener Zeitung, the
letter said to have been sent to him by Kossuth.

SCHLES WI G-HOLSTEIN.
