The New Zealander is arrived in the Downs from
the Southern Fishery. She touched at Port Jack-
son on her way borne, and brings accounts that the
colony had been very plentifully sugplied from India
with wheat, rice, &c.. Governor Macquarrie was
preparing to go to Van Diemen's Land, when the
above vessel left in October. We understand that
there had been another flood at the Hawkesbury,
which nearly inundated the settlement. Lieutenant
Lord, of the Marines,_ and a Captain Campbell,
came passengers : the latter has been very success-
ful in the pearl fishery in the South Seas, and . has
brought a large quantity of pearls with him.
The letters from Port Jackson state, that in con-
.sequence ot a quarrel at the.races, a duel bad taken .
place betwoen Capt. Ritchie, of the 7.3 d, and Mr.
Campbell, Secretary to the Governor, la which the.
former was severely wounded'.
Thepearl fishery in the South Seas promises to be
luerative---one vessel, which sailed from the Islands
with pearl oyster-shells, and 'pearls, dis, used of them
to.great advantage in India, arid returned to Port
Jackson, with a cargo from the proceeds valued at
twenty-seven
,thousand pounds.
Letters frOm the United States mention the vol-
canic eruption of a mountain in' North Carolina,
the lava of .which extended about three quarters of
a mile, and changed the courseof a liver.
An uncoerenon occurrence took place at Dalmar-
nock last week :—Notwithstanding the mildness of
the day, a whirlwind suddenly lifted from-the dye-
works' about twenty webs, which had been' seread
out to dry, and, after having carried some of them
to such a height as to render them scarcely visible,
. let them fall upon the holm, at the distance of a
quarter of a mile from the works.
Tuursday the wife of Mr. Drinkwater, a respea-
able farmer, of Bugsworth, in Derhyshre, who oc-
castonally ads as midwife was called up at midnight
to attend a woman, who was named to her. On
opening the door, she was beset by a' number of
ruffians in disguise, and' with their faces disfigured,
who-presented pistols, and demanded -1001. of her.
Seeing resistance was in vain, she opened to them
all the drawers and cupboards, from which they took
abor42ol. in cash, ten cheeses, twenty pair of sheets,
, blankets, and all her clothes. At this time a fellow
stood over the husband, as he lay in bed, threaten-
ing him with instant death if he stirred. He the
more willingly obeyed -this injunction, as by that
be saved a case containing two hundred pounds in
money, and the title deeds ot his freehold, which
was under the bed on which he lay. The robbers
collected a booty of about -1501.
,The soldier, who failed in his duty when the
populace attacked Mr. Cartwright's at Rawfolds,
has been tried by -a Court Martial, and sentenced to
receive 300 lashes, On 'Monday he was marched
to Rawfolds to receive his sentence ; but, owing -to
C.'s humane interference, the punishment 'was miti-
gated to 25 lashes.
