Some letters have been delivered to-day from Van
Diemen's Land to the sth of June ; the accounts are
generally favourable. As far as the original settle-
ments are concerned, mercantile affairs are repre-
sented as having to a great extent recovered from the
extreme depression they have of late exhibited, which
had been owing chiefly to over-trading. The crops
,being expected to be most abundant, no apprehensions
were entertained but that the prospects of the colo-
-nista would realize the anticipation which had been
formed. The intelligence more interesting is to be
gathered from the accounts of the country in general,
._in preference to particular places, inasmuch as these
more-particularly concern a large portion of the popu-
(tlation of this country. It would appear that the pro-
sstroterLo7areforts to be derived from the newly located
great; that the settlements lately formed
Are progressing favourably, and that new sources for
the
~distribution of the produce, are being almost
4ilEepened. But very few years have elapsed
When .the quantity of wool exported from Australia
Svas represented by a cipher, and a small portion
from the, Cape of Good Hope was literally given
away, the only stipulation in the contract being, that
the buyer should pay the dock rates. Facts are now,
however, completely reversed, and England, from
).iOng dependent upon continental nations for the
supply of this most necessary article, has a sufficient
quantity derived from the colonies, not only to supply
the home demand, but also to allow a portion of it to
he shipped to those countries upon which it formerly
relied. One of the greatest evils with which these
,f4DINIW, have had to contend, has been the high rate
4f/interest, and a proportionate, advantage has been
taken of. the necessity under which they were to bor-
Wiy, in order to charge a high rate of interest. It is
ft4tisfactory to be able to notice that the value of
kateney.there is likely to be reduced to_ something like
411 approximation to what it is in this country. The
4i:valry of the various establishments in London has
oiloubtless materially contributed to bring this about;
)10%Ut from whatever cause it may have arisen, the bene-
Ai t 4 the inhabitants in the reduction will be great.'
Par example, by a Parliamentary return, a sum
of about :+9,0001. appears . to have been borrowed
Upon Gorernh?ent Bonds for a particular purpose,
the interest paid upon which, in six years, amounts
to no less a sum than 23,900/. It may therefore be
calculated how great the henefit will be which a
Alualler interest will confer upon individuals, when
Government have paid so dearly for a loan ; and it
Will be the more apparent when a comparison is in-
stituted between the credit security which one party
glOd the other were able to of
~.

::'he tone of the Money Market exhibits an im-
trPTement, though business has been wholly confined
tP.N. ,few small purchases for investment. :Consols are

p-kt,k)eing considered that the report of a new Dutch
1l being about to be contracted is premature, and
even, were such an event to occur, no effect ought to
be producifl.by it on the value of the bonds already

advanced ,to 1024. *Vhe - only other transaction in
