The Creation. A. Sermon. By the Rev. Richard
Chaffer, M.A. Greenwich :H. S. Richardson.

One of the most successful attempts we have
seen (and not the least calculated to be popular)
to show that there is no real disagreement be-
tween the conclusions arrived at by geological
science and the record of Scripture, rightly under-
stood. The discourse was pruached, it seems, by
the author at the Church of St. Alphege, Green-
wich, of which he is curate, and is published by
request. It is characterised by laudable candour,
reverence, and research. Objections are fairly
marshalled and considered, the author bringing to
his task a clear and manly understanding, and due
reverence for the truth of Revelation. We trust
the discourse will meet with the extensive mile it
deserves.

VAN DIEMEN'S LAND COMPANY.—The Van Diemen'a
Land Company have issued their report preparatory to
their yearly meeting on Thursday next. The chief agent
of the company, having been absent from the colony
during the last 12 months, sales of laid have been sus-
pended in order that he might, on resuming his duties,
carry out some fresh regulations. He returned to the
colony by the Royal Charter, from Liverpool, in January
last, and took with him new instructions. Meanwhile
the evidence afforded of the rapid rise is the value of the
Government lands adjoining those of the company, by.
the prices obtained when sales have taken place, gives
strong encouragement with regard to the prospects of
the entire district. In a recent instance the company
had to relet 300 acres of cleared land which had been
previously occupied for four years at 11. per acre, and it
was immediately taken for one year at an average of
more than 3/. per acre. The facilities of steam commu-
nication along the ceaet continue to be maintained, and
a prospect ex sts of its being established between Circu-
lar-head and Melbourne. With regard to the finances
of the company, there are not at present sufficient funds
to pay a dividend of 108. per share, but it is hoped such
a distribution will be made before the end of the year.
ho amount now in hand is 3,8491.
