opulent seem to be in a very awkward predicament,
and the Bank, it is feared, will certainly clinch thid
unhappy State. Great numbers of the proprietors
are determined not to sign the new deed, unless
there be an alteration for the better, whilst others
are resolved upon requiring them to wind up its
affairs. It is reported that Mr. J. T. CAMPBELL has
relinquished his seat as a Director, for which a Sen-
timent of sorrow is expressed, and it is observed,
the direction of the Bank is reduced to two Mer-
chants, two Lawyers, a Collector of Customs, a
military Captain, and one of the Medical Staff. At
the meeting of the Court of Proprietors, for the bal-
loting of Directors, a great many angry epithets were
used.' Mr.-WENTWORTH, as Chairman, refused to take
the sense of the meeting, or put to vote the proposed
election of Mr. RHINE; high words ensued between
Dr. REDFERN and Mr. D. COOPER. The Doctor
ifflye the lie to the mention of private meetings hav-
ing been held, they were retorted by the former,
'Lnd order was proclaimed from the Chair. Such
an Uproarious meeting, it is observed, was scarcely
ever witnessed. The meeting then adjourned to the
nett day, when Mr. A. K. MACKENZIE was elected
cashier by a majority of 248 to 1. This latter gen-
tiernan, it seems, has incurred the displeasure of Dr.
REDFERN, who made several charges against him,
and it appears that the Doctor was desirous to bring
jn his brother and oust Mr. M. from the situation.
Governor DARLisc'had been much indisposed, so
reh so as to prevent his leaving Paramatta.
This is represented to be caused by his
"remitting attention to business. A novel oc-
curence took place at the Police Office, in which
the printer (GEORGE LITTLE) of the Gazette
Office, was
charged with printing a Racing Calendar
With his name, without having had any printing
Press or types registered in the office of the Colonial
Office, and, fined, but which the Clerk of the Turf
Club refused to pay. The Calendars having been
printed by his orders, it was admitted that. LITTLE
had no intention to infringe the law. It is said
Mr. BATE produced 200 lbs. of raw silk, the pro-
duce of the colony, and the result of his patriotic
exertions.

It is mentioned in two Papers, as a singular fact,
that prisoners under Scotch sentences of transpor-
tation are entitled to emancipation at the end of
seven years from the date of the charter of the ves-
elvrhich conveys them to the colony. This pro-
valon in favour of Scotch prisoners is, we are in-
fried, contained in the Act of Union. It is said
'tilt Port Macquarie is on the eve of abandonment,
1 Penal settlement; and, it is asserted, a plan has
een recommended to the Governor to declare that
port a free" settlement, by the establishment of
coin ly for the cultivation of sugar and tobacco,
4'l' Which it appears to be admirably calculated, and
(f which samples have already been raised that will

'ltY and colour.

We regret to state that letters have been received
at Portsmouth, announcing the death of Captain
WHITE, of his MAJESTY'S ship Tyne.

'lend sailed.
