ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.---A highly
interesting meeting was held on Monday evening, G. B.
Grcenhough, Esq., president, in the chair. A communi-
cation was made from Count Stelinsky, on the discovery
of a new and large tract of land in New South Wales, to
the north and south of the Australian Alps, not inferior in
point of salubrity or fertiliy to any ether part of this vast
island, and to which lie gave the name of Gipps's Land.
An announcement was made from Mr. Brooke, who some
time since left this country in his little yacht, the Royalist,
and who was then investigating the Indian Archipelago
It was satisfactory to know that he had proceeded so far
on his route, and his intention was now to return to
Borneo and keep the coast urti.l he ennui to Manilla, from
whence he purposed to go to China. An interest-
ing paper was next read, communicated by Lord
John Russell, containing an e.ary of a journey
of Lieut. Caddy and Mr. Watson from Belize to the
celebrated ruins of Palatay, in the province of Yucatan in
Guatemala. Notwithstanding their grandeur and immense
extent, they were not known to travellers until the latter
part of the last century, when it required the aid of 100
Indians to cut down the trees by which they were si!r-
rounded, so profuse was the vegetation. Tbe !mains
were evilently of Egypte-Indian architecture and in them
was seen the true Saracenie arch which has not hitherto
been met with out of the country of the Saracens. The
travellers were 48 days in the ruins, making
.sketches,
and returned to Belize through a country rich in every
variety of natural produce, and with which an extensive
and advantageous commerce with this country
.might be
carried on. Mr. Wilshire next gave some detailsin of his
recent journeying in Megadore and Morocco,
explore the botany of those regions.
