Even the convicts of Botany Bay cry out for

" 27th March, 1844.
" This colony, I hope, is rising again. ingThe boil-
or rather steaming down cattle and sheepis be-
coming quite a business, and the tallow, I hear, is
white and hard. There are now three or
1°I;Ir large establishments formed for the purpose
which
this town on the banks of the Yarra, some of
luell boil down two or three hundred sheep every
:4Y• The legs are either sold fresh at 6d. each, or
are salted and cured. This makes a sheep worth
much more than it used to be; and I really believe
the average value now is about from 6s. 6d. to 7s.
each.

They are also commencing to boil down cattle,
which ill pay the settler much better than at the
vrices the butchers at present give. The process is
ipple, but the stench is dreadful. Pigs are fed with
offal—which makes no difference to me—not
being a pork eater—but I don't envy those who do
eat such meat.
" There has been a great amount of tallow ex-
Ported this season, and next year the quantity will be
very much larger. We have likewise exported this
Year a very large supply of Mimosa bark—some
People say enough to Out the home market. The
":o°l has been earlier dispatched this season, but the
iQuality I rather think is not quite up to the mark ; as
°be,. Wool growers being so short of cash, have been
Liged to hurry the washing and shearing that they
Tight obtain the advance. I may explain to you that
ew Persons " buy out" the wool here—the merchants
and hanks, instead, advance a certain sum, say 10d.
Per lh. to the grower, and when the returns arrive
from home, the settler receives anything that may be
over the 10d., after deducting expenses and the com-
mission of the broker, &c. If the wool does not
bring 4, the said 10d., then the settler has to make up
the difference. I believe, however, that this year
only 9d. has been advanced, and the settler will,
therefore, most likely have to receive.
"The people of Port Philip are loudly crying out for
separation'—the Governor having just drained this
treasury of 20,0001.—the fact is, that almost all the
revenue of Port Philip is spent in Sydney, and I
reallyo cannot wonder at the cry. Port Philip, strange
t say, was made in Sir George Gipp's time, and yet
h
a treats it as a changeling.
," A good deal has been said lately about the desir-
ableness of making this the central depot for the
„nrQelis quartered in these colonies. It seems rather a
'IS.M idea, for it would be very easy to have a body
%I men here at a moment's notice to throw into either
of the older colonies. I cannot say that I should
fancy, Van Diemen's Land much as a place to live in
,
'1?w• The enormous number of convicts at present
at large on wages is rather fearful, and robberies, &c.,
are becoming very frequent. It is reported that 400
"'en have broken out from a stockade, and are in pos-
session of a road, and that the military are in full
march to oppose them—also that the Government

birds -uhtstiNG-Biaps.—We found many humming-
at Port San Antonio, which we attributed to the
sheltered situation of the place, and the luxuriant growth
of fusehias and other plants, upon the sweets of whose
flowers they feed. Here, hewever, one of the same spe-
cies was seen sporting about in a most exposed place
litinad during the fall of a snow shower—a proof of the
rdY character of this little bird, which, if it doe 3 mi-
grate upon the approach of winter to a warmer clime,
irlgers, at least, as lon as it possibly can. This was
the middle of April ; the winter had, in fact, already
(?mmenced, and all the mountains around us were
clothed with snow, while the ground was also coated
with the same dazzling covering.—Voyages of the Adven-
