Advices have come to hand from Sydney tof,"„v .
18th of June, which are of a more satish-cyjie
character than those received for some time past-

The prices of manufactures were generally hi Pe";
t
Wheat and Flour were also looking up, the
being at 20s. to 21s. for fine. In Tea and Sugar there
had been a large business done.
It is highly satisfactory to no! ice the fact of thet
large number of immigrants who reached Sydney 385 d
year, amounting to 23,200 persons, having all fool_
ready employment generally within ten days of ding
landing, and their rapid distribution is cited a!' 1/
proof of the ability of the country to sq-

lit is particularly desirable should be extensively 11137
known throughout the United Kingdom. For ilieLe
persons of a superior description, particularly C011i;
menial clerks and overseers, there is no demand, 11. •
such persons are subjected to great privations, as we' , -

is generally a superabundance of these.
In the official report of the Colonial Government 0.
upon the subject of immigration, it is stated that the,
number of persons arrived oat last year was 23,20uti Jo'
of whom 19,523 were sent out under the hour'
system. This gave partial employment to 101 shiP,'-'4 Jsal
of 36,170 tons. In 1840 only 7,000 persons arrived

THE ACCIDENT ON LORD MAYOR'S 110.0.-Ses.

Esq., the Coroner for Surref' •
aged thirty-four; who was drowne under the folios',"
Day, was on board a craft off Bankside, mayor g
turn of the tide her place was about to be shifted (the
captain was in the stern, and he at the head), and she
was to be got off the shore. For this PurP°se'
a '
he got a pole just as the procession was passing, ain
tried to get the head off. In doing this he was wally ,
ing backwards, and going further than he intende
put
out, into the river. An alarm was mad:, the boat puv,.
out, and the drags procured and used for an hour, bob
the body was not found till the next day. Some in-
quiry
was made as to whether the deceased could hae
been pushed over, but the captain said he was sure
and at tt.e
such a thing had not been attempted. Verdtet—Ac-

A CANDID CONFESSION.—Among the traditioflS
Westminster-hall is one of a certain Sergeant MIST'
who flourished some centuries back, in a darker age
than the present. He was accused, once upon a time
by his brethren of the coif, of having
their order by taking from a client a fee

copper ; and, on being solemnly arraigned for ilms •},
offence in their Common Hall, it appears, fro n
the unwritten reports of the Court of Comm° —::
Pleas, that he defended himself by the fell; ..:

admit that I took a fee from him in eappe: '

a sergeant that I never took a single fee from him 1

SHIP WRECKS.
On Wednesday morning, between three and four
o'clock, the ship William, Captain Houston, while on
her passage from Gloucester to this port, was totally
wrecked at Kilchattan Bay, Isle of Bute, while in the
act of wearing, during a heavy storm. When the
vessel struck, her owner, Mr. T. Hamlin, a gentleman
of extensive nautical experience, told the alarmed
crew to keep calm and collected, in which case there
was a fair prospect of their lives being saved, whereas,
should their terrors lead to confusion, their danger
would be greatly increased. The advice was at-
tended to by the major part of the crew, but two of
them, in spite of every remonstrance, lowered them-
selves overboard on what seemed from the ship to be
dry rocks,. but by this step they only met the fate
they sought to slur), the boisterous surge into which
they dropped having washed them back, and carried
them under the ship's bottom, where no assistance
could he rendered them by those on the wreck. The
rest of the crew, after remaining on board with great
difficulty till the morning broke, the sea during the
night washing over them, and the ship rapidly going
to pieces, were enabled to land on the receding of the
tide. By the time they had left her she was a com-
plete wreck, little remaining but the deck. The mas-
ter was a good deal bruised, and the mate had his
hand seriously injured. Mr. Hamlin and the crew
were much exhausted by the severity of the. weather,
but were, with one exception, uninjured!, One old
man was saved with much difficulty. as from the cold
he had become quite benumbed. Mr. Hamlin speaks
in the highest terms of the kind atl ention he, his offi-
cers, and crew experienced from'Mr. M`Dougall, far-
mer, in the vicinity of where the wreck took place,
and of the .ready aid he afforded them, which was
the means especially of saving the.life of the old man
above alluded to. He, also sent his carts to save any
property of value which might come ashore. The
severity of the gale, which proved fatal to the William,
may be judged of by the fact that she was blown
from Pladda to cumbrw, a distance of 21 miles, under
bare poles, in somewhat less than two hours.--Green-
ock Advertiser.
ANOTHER FATAL SHIPWRECK.—About two o'clock
on Thursday morning, the smack Diligenee, of Ports-
mouth, of about :JO tons burden, bound to Southamp-
ton from Guernsey, laden with potatoes, came on
shore on Chisel Beach, near Portland, in a squall of
wind from the S.S.W. It being at the time near high
water, hopes are entertained that she will be got off as
the spring tides make. The greatest mystery, and
one not likely to be solved, is how this vessel, bound
to Southampton from Guernsey, with the wind
S.S.W., should be near Portland. We should have
thought, if she had been left to make her own course,
after leaving the Caskets, she would have been nearer
the Isle of Wight,. with the wind from the same
quarter. One poor fellow, about twenty years of age
(we could not learn his name), met with a watery
grave just at the Moment the vessel struck.—Sherborne
and Yeovil Mercury.
PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 19.—The steam-ship Mer-
chant, from New Orleans to Texas, went ashore a few
days since in a gale ; eight persons were -lost, as well
as the vessel and cargo. While in the agonies of des-
pair, a passenger named Barker, prompted by deli-
rium, shot a fellow-passenger, and then shot himself.
The brig Cuba, from Texas for New York, went down
with all hands. Two schooners shared a similar fate.
The barque Virginia was abandoned off the Florida
coast ; the brig Francis Lord, of New York, was lost
off North Carolina ; and the barque Plato ashore, with
five men lost, and several other valuable vessels are

missing.

" Main Barracks, Cape Town, August 31, 1842.
My dear Sir—As commanding the reserve batta-
lion ofshe 91st Regiment at the time of the wreck of
the transport Abercrombie Robinson, in Table Bay,
I feel myself authorised to express my sense of your
coolness, intrepidity, and readiness of resource during
those anxious hours of responsibility, when, from
eleven o'clock on the night of the 27th to daylight on
the morning of the 28th, the lives of 700 souls de-
pended, under God, on your firmness and seamanship.
" They are qualities essential in the commander of
a ship at all times, and must be more than ever ne-
cessary when several hundred soldiers, women, and
children crowd his decks.
