Sydney Papers have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house to the 17th December.
( From the above Papers.)
The women of the George Hibbert were landed yesterday,
and numbers of them assigned to applicants. We are glad to
state that the officers of the ship speak very highly as to their
conduct during the voyage.
The Bathurst-road in particular is represented to be crowded
with teams bringing wool to Sydney.
The aborigines, it is said, in some parts of the country have
assumed a hoitile attitude, which has rendered it necessary for
the troops and colonists to arm.
Van Diemen's Land Wheat was selling at 12s. a bushel,
and bread at 14d. the quartern loaf. The fine weather which
has succeeded the rain for the past few weeks has given a most
promising appearance to the crops throughout this division of
the island, and as far down as Hobart Town the country has a
delightful appearance. The local intelligence from Van Die-
men's Land is of some importance. The new Jury Bill has
been read twice and was in Committee. The Post-office re-
gulations, which gave universal dissatisfaction, have been modi-
fied and the scale of postage on letters graduated. The price
of \Vheat according to the last information had experienced a
fall ; some samples have fetched from 11s. 6d. to 12s. 6d. a
bushel. The supplies must exceed the demand.

DEATH OF WILLIAM LINLEY, ESQ.—This ac-
complished musical amateur died suddenly yesterday morning
at his chambers in Furnival's Inn. He had dined with the
Catch Club on Tuesday. Mr. Linley was the son of the
writer of the music in the Duenna, and brother to the cele-
brated Mrs. Sheridan. He was himself a very good composer
and an excellent judge of music. His death will be lamented
by a very numerous circle of friends, and by the musical pro-
fession generally. He was verging on seventy years of age.
Robert Arkwright, Esq., will be a candidate, at the
next election, for North Derbyshire. We announce that he
will be a candidate, because Mr. Cavendish and Mr. Gis-
borne are now paying canvassing visits to the electors.—

Derbyshire Courier.
It has been stated by some of our contemporaries,
that Sir Howard Douglas has been recalled. This is not the
case.
THE THAMES TUNNELL. Lord Augustus
Fitzclarence, and a party of Ladies and Gentlemen, visited
the Thames Tunnel on Saturday last. The work caused
much gratification to the visitors. The works are continued
with great activity. The shield, which has been buried for
the last eight years at the extreme point of the working, where
it was at the last irruption of the water, is now exposed to
view, and a number of workmen are making preparations to
replace it with a new one, after which the operation of con-
tinuing the tunnel will be resumed.
The Brighton Gazette of to-day contains a renewed
attempt to frighten Lord Surrey out of his senses and his seat.
His Lordship only laugh at the braying of these bullying
boobies. Their misuse of religion for sordid, selfish, and
merely worldly purposes can excite but one feeling of ineffable
disgust LI all moral and right-thinking men.

ACCIDENT.--Yesterday afternoon a lamentable
accident occurred at a new factory, building by Walton Bul-
cock, Esq., at Cabin End, near this town, in consequence of
the falling of a scaffold. Five men were precipitated to the
ground, all of whom were seriously injured, and one so severely
that his life is despaired of.--Blackburn Gazette.
Lewes Fair on Tuesday exhibited one of the largest
supplies recollected to be witnessed in it, and was tolerably
well attended by buyers. The best store stock was in tolerable
demand, at somewhat improved prices ; some of the best Sus-
sex beasts, Devon', and Welsh runts, producing nearly, or
quite, 3s. ; good barrens,. 2s. 6d. per stone of 81bs. estimated
at their supposed weight ven fattened; but with old and low
conditioned cows, steers, runts, &c., trade was exceedingly
dull, at very low prices. About 80 gentlemen and farmers are
said to have sat down, at three o'clock, who drank the healths
of the King, Queen, Duchess of Kent, Princess Victoria, &c.,
to which were added that of the Duke of Richmond, and
several other Sussex noblemen and gentlemen, together with
merciful landlords and honest tenants, &c. ; an account of
which we have read in the Brighton Gazette, occupying more
than a column and a half of that large folio paper. The
market, and what is termed the new colt show and horse fair,
in honour of which the above-mentioned dinner took place,
was held on Tuesday ; the annual Cliffe bullock fair on Wed-
nesday. At the former, exceedingly little business seemed to
have been transacted,
