Hobart Town Papers to the 16th October have
been received at the North and South American Coffee-
house.

(From the Colonial Times, October 15.)
The accounts from Cloudy Bay, brought by the
Marian, have been so extremely gratifying, that half
the people of Hobart Town are crazy to leave for the
new colony now establishing. The soil is of the best
quality, and the climate, although rather cold, is salu-
brious.

We understand that Mr. Murray is about to colonise
New Zealand : his corps d'armee is already formed,
consisting of Lieut.-General Emmets and Major-Ge-
neral Gilbert Robinson.

It is with pleasure we observe, from the proceedings
of the Legislative Council, that attention has been
drawn to the number of insolvents now in confinement,
both at Hobart Town and Launceston, for debt, and
that the subject has been referred to the consideration
of the judges.
(From the Hobart Town Paper of Oct. 11.)

It is with unmingled regret we announce, that at
the very moment we are writing.jhese few lines, our
doom, our existence as a journal, will, we fear, be
sealed in the Council Chamber, if the proposed post-
age, amounting on the average to 2d. per paper, be
resolved upon.
Accounts from Alexandria, Egypt, state that a fire
broke out on board a 64 gun-ship in that port, which
was consumed. Fortunately there was no powder
on board.

Mehemet Ali, with his ministers, were at Cairo,
where they expected to be joined by Ibrahim Pacha,
where a conference is to be held on the affairs of
Turkey.

rpeacpeeivrsedt.o the 16th February, five days later,
nature. The Paragon, Thompson, with a very eanmtbeaellieiengaence has just reached town of a distressing
valu-
able cargo on board, from the north side,_ on her pas-
sage in Morant Bay, struck on a rock. Fears arc
entertained that she will become a complete wreck.
Our country readers will be surprised to hear that
attempts are making to get up a memorial to the King
to abolish the Jamaica Legislature : this must be man-
fully resisted by the independent planters, and those
who have property at stake in the country. All was
tranquil in the island.

Both the weather and Funds have a dull appear-
ance this morning, and little or nothing doing. Con-
sols are at present 91 to for the Account. Spanish

Letters are in town from Pernambuco to the middle
of February, and at that period order was again re-
stored.

Great anxiety prevails for further information from
Lisbon, as it is expected that Don Miguel will make
some movement.

At present few persons are in attendance in the Fo-
reign Market, consequently there is little or nothing
doing in Portuguese and Spanish Securities.

FASHION.—In the reign of Elizabeth, the
mode of enormous breeches was pushed to a most
laughable excess. The beaux of that day stuffed out
their breeches with rags, feathers, and other light mat-
ters, till they brought them out to an enormous size.
They resembled woolsacks, and in a public spectacle
they were obliged to raise scaffolds for the seats of
these ponderous beaux. To accord with this fantastical
taste, the ladies invented large hoop farthingales ; two
lovers aside could surely have never taken one another
by the hand.---.D 'lsraeli.
