VAN DIEMAN'S LAND.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED MACQUARIE..STRIET, HOBART.. •
TOWN, APRIL 2* ...(111r THE LANG.)
" After a voyage of five months we came to anchor in
the Derwent, having, out of that time; spent but twelve
hours at Madeira, and a week at Rio de Janeiro. We had
a great proportion of fine weather. I am much better
pleased with Hobart-town than I expected to be; it con-
tains many excellent houses, almost all the necessaries, and
many of the luxuries of life, and the climate appears a
very fine one. It is not more than 20 years since the first
settlers, some poor people from Norfolk Island, arrived
here : it is the genius of England that presides here, and
makes the country what it is ! Amongst other proofs of
its parentage we have a free press. The Hobart-town
Gazette is the Government paper, and the Colonial Times
is the Opposition paper, and free enough they make with
each other : as is ever the case, what talent there is, is on
the side of the latter. The people here are divided into
plebeians and patricians, or rather the prisoners and free
people ; all who are not of the former degraded class hav-
ing a certain nonchalance about them that appears to
acknowledge no superior. I should imagine it is nmeh
the same tone of feeling that exists between the black and
whites. I should beg the negro's pardon for such a com-
parison—he is a noble and exalted being compared with
the civilized criminal: would you see degradation personi-
fied, it is in the fettered convict.
" It is for from a luxuriant country, but capable, I be-
lieve, of great things if properly cultivated. In a few years
it will become another England. I can wish it nothing
better than it should be so. The first view of the coast is
barren; the mountains thinly covered with a reluctant
herbage, and as thinly clothed with stunted trees, chiefly
of the Hum pine. Some of the mountains are bare rocks
to the very summit, particularly the Newstone, which
never saw any thing but an eagle, or an albatrdss, alive
upon its summit, since it came forth frog) chaos. At a
particular point of view it looks like a lion coucliant. I
have as yet seen no large trees, nor can I hear of any. I
thought of the oak, the elm, te ash, and the chestnut,
those magnificent trees of my own dear matchless country!"

" Although the charm of novelty is wearing off, I think
there is good reason to be satisfied with the country in ge-
m:III, and that an industrious man, with some property, is
pretty sure of getting on in the world. I cannot speak
&clayey with regard to agricultural pursuits, but of the
produce of the land I must acknowledge the accounts are
not much exaggerated. Our wheat, vegetables, and
butchers' meat, are of the first descriptio» • many of our
fruits are very fine, and all would be so did description;
know how
to manage them. As one proof of the goodness of . these
things, and the fineness of the climate, we are getting daily
fatter and fatter. I can scarcely put on any 61 the clothes
I brought out with me. I have not been able to ascertain
the population of this town; I should guess from 4,000
to 5,000 would be the extent. The people here are, as
usual, divided into two violent parties, and the Radicals
make the greatest noise.
" The Bush-rasgers are now all taken, and will shortly
be tried and executed; they have been the scourge of the
settlers for the last two years : two or three of them would
go and make risoners of ten or a dozen gentlemen, and
their servants and labourers; so much were they dreaded,
and so unprovided were the settlers with the means of
defence.

SHOCKING Ace tDENT.—Last night an accident
occurred in the family of a Mr. Upjohn, in Oxford-
street. Some few friends had been invited to spend
the evening with him, and the children were sent into
the kitchen, when on a sudden the company were
alarmed by the screams of one of them, and on run-
ning down stairs they discovered a little girl about five
years old enveloped in fire; after some t►me the flames
were extinguished, but it is feared the child will not
recover.

EXTRAORDINARY tnENT.—An inquest was
held on Tuesday, at Abberley, Worcestershire, on the
body of William Morris, aged eight, who, on Saturday
afternoon, was gathering nuts with a cherry picking
hook, and was holding down the branch of a nut-
tree, with his foot upon the lower hook, when the
bough sprung up, the hook caught his right eye, and
penetrated nearly to the brain ; he died in great agony
the following afternoon. Verdict—Accidental Death.

SnocKiwo AvrAtilt /qr. Hunter, one of the
guards of the until-coach from Dumfries to Port-
patriek, has just informed us that on passing through
oletiluee on his way to Dumfries last night, he was
told that the hotly of A bullock had been cast ashore
some miles to the south of that place, and that the
people who found it thought, from its fresh appear-
ance, it might be safely cut up. It was so, and di-
vided among a number of families, but soon after
had then died, and fourteen others were lying dan-
gerously eating it they all became excessively sick ; one man
gerously ill, and very faint hopes entertained of their

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, SEP7. 9, 1826.

We have received the Paris Papers of Tuesday and
WedneSday, and the Etoile of Thursday morning, from
which we have made, long extracts, which will be found

another column.

The Etoile of Wednesday contains accounts from
Constantinople to the 3d of August. It is stated in
these accounts that the general terror which prevailed
seemed alone to prevent a re-action on the part of the
Mussehnen. The Sultan and Seraskier are every day
, the subject of the most hisulting Placards, but the
Sultan, nevertheless, goes regularly to the Mosque.
Fresh executions had taken place, and the future pros-
pect seems more gloomy than ever.
It is announced positively in these Papers that Lord
COCHRANE had arrived at Napoli di Romania on the
26th of July, and was waiting there for the remainder
of his vessels. If the commencement of his Lord-
ship's services is to U 4 delayed till his vessels arrive,
months and months may yet elapse before the cause of
Greece can benefit by his enterprize and skill.
The Constitutionnel gives, in a letter from the
Greek Committee at Marseilles to that at Paris, some
account from Smyrna of the success of the Mainotes
over IBRAHIM, and asserts that the affairs of Greece
in general had taken a favourable turn.

The Etoile of Thursday alludes to the conspiracy
at Lisbon, but denies that persons of distinction are
implicated in it. It insinuates, however, that discon-
tent was beginning to manifest itself even in the
capital, and that people were watching each other with
apprehension.

These accounts come down only to the 25th of
August, and we know that tranquillity was perfectly
restored at a time subsequent to this period.

seem disposed to listen to them. Posterity will bless him
for this, even if his conteqiporaries -should be so short-
sighted as to desire the return of the old abuses. I have
frequently mentioned those that had crept into the admi-
nistration of the Customs. The Pope, of his own accord,
without consulting the Board of Finance, which was just
engaged on a very different plan, has dismissed all the
officers and subalterns, and half the soldiers of the
Customs : the other half is to be new-organized. The
civic guard, or rather its general staff, which alone eXisted,
and heti a bureau, which occasioned considerable
expense
without doing any good, is dissolved, and the offic I .ed
oil half-pay. The Administration of Ecclesiastical
.ers placed
taacte,
in the provinces has had the same fate ,
being
wholly
abolished, and united with the Ministry o"1" y
Finance. The
most importpit reform, however, as it seems, will be expe-
rienced by the Chamber, especially. that
of it called
part
the Cornputisteria. A few .4
-ays ago the. Chief Revisore
and eight of his subalterns
were dismissed. The new
Revisore has received orders to state accurately the number
of clerks he wants, and to choose
among the most able and
honest Which-041S 01 the otlive i the 9thaii will be dis-

charged. The chase and the Asheries, as important
branches of the subsistence of the people, have likewise at-
tracted the Pope's attention. It is said that all restrictions
on both will be shortly abolished, only of course con-
tinuing the prohibition of them in certain seasons of the
year.

We received thistmorning the Allgemeine Zeitung
to the 4th inst., but its-contents are uninteresting.
The fair at Frankfort seemed to promise well, par-
ticularly in cotton, if we may judge from the immense
quantities which Austria was sending in. Prince
METTERNICH was expected at Frankfort by the 6th
or Bth of September, but all the reports respecting his
mission are said to have been without any foundation.
His object was chiefly of a private nature, connected
with buildings erecting on his estates at .Tohannis-
berg :

FRANKFORT, AUG. 28.
Our hotels are at present full, as well of persons return-.
.ng from the baths, as of strangers who have come to,
attend the fair. Among the latter are numerous pur-
chasers, especially from the countries on the Rhine, who
are usually the first that arrive at the fair. Large Owl-
tities of, wool, particularly from Austria, arrive daily.
Persons who are competent judges in these matters, are
inclined to expect a more favourable conjunction for this.
article, than, considering the state of the manufacturing
districts in England, has hitherto been expected.
His Highness Prince Metternich, who is expected here
about the 6th or Bth Sept., will stop a few days in this citY•
and then proceed by way of Darmstadt and Carlsruhe, to the
Lake of Constance, after which, be will return to Vienna,
by way of 'Salzburgh. All the reports previously spread by
uninformed journals, respecting certain political objects con-
nected with his Highness's journey, and his visit to Johan-
nisberg, have been now proved by the event, to have been
totally unfounded.
The Prince, as we hear, has had extensive buildings
erected both on his estates in Bohemia, and on his domain
at Joflannisberg, partly ornamental, and partly for use;
and the desire of seeing the state of these improvement',
aff
and of enjoying the recreation which the country ords,
and the social intercourse connected with it,
is probably
the only motive of a journey which has given rise to so
much speculation.

Frankfort Papers to the 2d of September also ar-
rived this morning. The first Diet of the Principality
'

of six years, after greatly reducing the public debt.
SAXONY, AVG. 6.
The first Diet of the Principality of Schwartzburg ittl.
dolstadt, which was convoked in 1821, is now terminated,
after sitting the six years fixed by the law. The Govern-
ment has announced this, and at the same time signifies
that the Prince is satisfied with the proceedings of the late
Diet, and that the Deputies have fulfilled all the expects',
tions that could reasonably be entertained. In the coarse
of the six years 100,644 dollars of the public debt have
been paid, and several improvements in the Legislation
have been made. Due notice will be given of the couvn'
cation of a new Diet.

Prince Henry LXXII., of Reuss Eberdorff, considering
the present unfavourable state of manufactures and sgrr
culture, has been induced to excuse his subjects, for thin
year, from the payment of three instalments of the 1U
tary tax.

and Konitz have no mind to pay taxes for the war-

Place WA A trading voyage A kw mouths ago returned frou Pa

on the 17th inst., and reperts that his vessel was seized by the China
Captain at that place and plundered of a large portion of her lading.
It appears that While the vessel lay •in Pahang river the Com-
mander had some dispute with his crew, who in revenge for what
they considered ill treatment on his part, deposited some prepared
Opium in the boit and laid information against him, upon
which be was immediately arrested, imprisoned in the house
of the China Captain, and sentenced without a hearing to pay
4 fine of two hundred dollars. When the unfortunate man re•
turned to his beat he found that the crew had left her, and that
she bad been plundered of property to the amount •of 1,200 dol-
lar& He immediately repaired to the China Captain, who re-
fused to give him redress, and denied all knowledge of the seizure
of the boat, although the Commander was well apprized that a
considerable portion of the goods which had been taken were
lodged in his stores. The Chinaman finally complained to the
Rajah, but his Majesty was either too indolent to pay attention
to him, or too much afraid of the China Captain to give the poor
man any satisfaction. The answer of his Majesty to his petition
was, " that the China Captain knew the affairs of all Chinese so
much better than he did, that he would not interfere, as he was
confident the China Captain must be right."
In all Malay ports the head of the Chinese has great influence
in the affairs of Government. At present the state of Pahang is
almost entirely governed by a rich Arab and the China Captain,
who supply his Majesty with money and opium, pay him the out-
ward respect due to the Sovereign, and relieve him of all the bur-
den of Legislation and the cares of Government.

We have received a Brazilian Paper, entitled 0
Spectador Brazileiro, of the 22d of June. It con-
tains an account of the proceedings of the Chamber of
Deputies of the previous day, which does not pOssess
the slightest interest. In it we find likewise a letter of
the English Consul at Monte Video, addressed to the
Brazilian Admiral, complaining of the detention of
two English ships, the Monarch and Jessey, seized
at the mouth of the La Plata, on pretext of their at-
tempting to force the blockade of Buenos- Ayres. The
Consul does not deny the right of the Emperor of
Brazil to blockade the capital of his enemy, but he
declares that the blockade was not effectual at the time
of the capture, many ships of other nations having
entered and sailed outwards without molestation. The
Admiral in his reply declares the blockade a good one,
and cites the practice of Great Britain during the late
War to establish its validity.

It was mentioned in the accounts which accompa-
nied the intelligence of a treaty of peace being ratified
with the Burmese Monarch, that some severe fighting
had taken place previously.

Private letters from Calcutta, dated March 5, state,
that on the 30th January, a force of between 400 and
500 Burmese, posted at a place called Watamachoote,
were charged by a Party of the Governor-General's
Body Guard, under Lieut. TRA NT. About fifty of
the enemy were either sabred or shot, and amongst
them a chief of rank named MONTOUNGBO. The
remainder were dispersed.
On the 9th February, the enemy, in considerable
force, having ventured out of their stockades, and form-
ed on the plain, were attacked by the force under Sir
ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, and completely defeated,
at a place called Paghamew, which was captured, to-
gether with 40 pieces of artillery and 90 jingalls. Sir
A. CAMPBELL, with a small escort, is stated to have
been at one time completely surrounded, but the
enemy were speedily put to the rout, and about 500
of them were either killed or drowned, being driven
into the River at the point of the bayonet.

Our loss is said to have been extremely trifling.

It is now reported confidently that the ATTORNEY
GENERAL will succeed LORD GIFFORD as Master
of the Rolls, and as Deputy Speaker of the House of
Lords. In the latter case a Peerage must attend his
elevation to the Bench.

The improvement which has already taken place in
the state of trade, since the Order in Council for the
admission of Oats and Pulse, may be considered as
atrording some criterion by which to form an opinjohl
of the effects which would result from the more
general opening of the ports. What the effect
may be upon the state of the Money Market remains
to he shown, but to our comtnercial interests generally,
there can be no doubt that the most beneficial conse-
quences must ensue from the adoption of this measure.
We are ready, however, to admit that the immediate
influence of the importation of corn will be prejudicial
to the Landowners ; its ultimate effect must be
beneficial to them as well as to every other class
of persons in this country, because the interests of
the Agriculturist and Manufacturer are so intimately
connected, that if one is in a flourishing condition,
the other must necessarily be likewiie so: But op-
pressed as the land is 'with various Taxes and
Rates to which other descriptions of property are not
liable, we think that it will be found expedient
and necessary to relieve the land of some portion of
those payments with which it is exclusively saddled
at present, by throwing a part of them upon the other
great branch of property in this country, viz. the
Public Securities.

We are not advocates for, and will never lend our
support to, any measure with regard to the Funds
which may in the smallest degree be constru-
ed as a Breach of National Faith ; but con-
sidering the Funds as solid and substantial
Property as the land, we cannot see upon what
Principle of justice they should be exempted from the
PaYment of some part of the Taxes, Y which for the
Beeurity, as well as fex the necessary expellees of the
State, and the relief the Poor, are now entirely drawn
trulli the land. The holders of Stock were as much
interested in the successful termination of the war
" the Landowners, and once admit that Stock is
r°PertY guaranteed by the State, as firmly as Land,
tZtre:son can be adduced for continuing its exemp-
anti) 'ruin taxes, rendered necessary for the protection
3.eetirity of the whole State. Nor can it be as-
froo any degree of reason, that the Income
Property in the Funds shoulti be exempted film

contributing to the relief of the Poor, while the same
amount of Income derived from the Land would be
subject to a payment (on the general average of the
whole Kingdom) of two shillings and sixpence in the
pound.

It appears to us, therefore, to be no less just than
expedient that property in the Funds should be subject
to a contribution towards the national necessities and

the support of the indigent poor, who have the same
claim upon the rich in stock as upon the rich in land.
The attention of the new Parliament will, Ae hope, be
early directed to this subject, in order that the con-
stant struggle which will otherwise be carried on be-
tween the 'Landowner and the Stockowner, may be put
an end to, which will not be less for the security of tke
latter, than for the just interest of the former.

Upoa a full perusal of Mr. Jo II N WILKS'S many
headed letter, we think it a pity to deprive our readers
of a production so unique in its character, and so
much in keeping with the eccentricity of the writer.
It will be found in another column, dealing out
destruction and absurdity in pretty equal mea-
sure. The unhappy Gentleman has very diligently
ransacked the dictionary of vengeance for long words,
as conveying, no doubt, a more expressive' . idea
of the interminable duration of his wrath ; but this
offspring of his invention is as little blessed with
common sense, as the depth of his own black diamond
mine with the light of day. It was, however, very
charitable in him
,to give the Newspapers timely
warning of their impending destruction, for all
are destined to undergo the annihilation of his " fell
swoop." But one thing-in this letter is not a little
singular—Mr. JOHN WILKS, jun., congratulates him-
self upon enjoying the entire " confidence of his
friends, and above all putt peace cif mind resulting
from an honest conviction of having acted .with
rectitude and honour, as a man, and a gentleman,
which no unfaithful reporter, or unprincipled stock-
jobber can ever hope to possess,"—and yet, after all
this, he is not contented with his happy lot !—Poor
man, his peace of mind, we fear, is not of this world,—
it is all vanity and vexation of spirit.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Turs DAY.)
FINAL. SITTINGS.

His LORDSHIP has at length declared, and with no small re•.
luetance, that he will sit again on Monday and Wednesday, but on
no other day for this season.

MOTIONS AND PETITIONS FOR INJUNCTIONS.
His LORDSHIP desired to have it publicly understood, that the
established practice of the Court was, that during the vacation,
all applications to be made to the Chancellor or any branch
of this Court for injunctions to stay waste, or to dissolve
injunctions, ought to be made- by petition, and' not upon
motion, which he wished to be attended to in future; and
though he did not intend to sit in public after Wednesday
next, yet any Solicitor having such applications to make,
by sending the petitions and affidavits to him, he would
immediately attend to them, and write orders upon them.

He meant to devote some hours in every day of the vacation, to
getting through some of the business before him,
remaining to be
disposed of in judgment:
After having heard several applications, in almost all of which
the parties failed from defective records, his Lordship rose.
