SYDNEY PAPERS.

By the Sydney Papers, it appears that the Bush-
rangers continue their atrocities; a party of nine
have formed a gang, and are committing robberies
up the country. About ten days since they made
their appearance at Cains-hill, on the Cow-pasture
road, they then entered the house in the absence of
the owner, the house haring no other protection
than females, and robbed it of property to the extent
of 2001. sterling; u they are recognised and known,
it is hoped an early period will be put to their pro-
ceedings; they are well armed with various sorts of
weapons. .
Some disturbances have taken place with, the
Aboriginal Natives in the district of Hunter's Myer..
A party of them went to Mr. Campbell's farm at
Wallembie Creek, aad began to plunder the maize;
they filled a number of sacks of English manufacture,
which they had doubtless stolen from elsewhere.—
At length the servants became enraged at their de-
predations, and commenced firing amongst them,
and ten or twelve of their sable enemy were killed,
and the survivors put to the rout. As they retired
with dreadful threats of returning with a larger force,
which it is well known they generally keep most
punctually, it will be requisite for the v►hite inha-
bitants to be on their guard against surprise.
Colonel Gibbs is appointed Lieut.-Governor -of
Van Diernan's Land in the room of Colonel Arthur,
recalled.

Thus writes a Lieutenant Roberts to a highly
respectable person in the Colony :
" The Agent of the New Zealand Company has
entirely abandoned all the views entertained of fix-
ing a permanent establishment on that Island. The
emigrants who came out have been offered a passage
back to England, at the expense of the Company.
Some are expected,however, to remain in the colony."
The fourth anniversary of the Annual Meeting of
the Agricultural and Horticultural Society has been
held at Paramatta. The President produced his
annual report, which refers to the tobacco craps
not having been so extensively grown since the re-
duction of the: duty. The crop of wheat is said
to be a saving one, notwithstanding the long drought
which has prevailed. Mr. Frazer's services to the
Colony in introducing to notice in England the
Sea Island cotton, is duly appreciated. The state of
the vineyards is mentioned as extremely luxuriant.
The influence of the Turf Club is then adVerted

book on the Agriculture and Grazing of New South
Wales, and the lesser gold medal to Mr. Frazer, for
his colonial cotton.

The Sydney gaol is stated in these papers to 1),.
in a very crowded state, and contains 310 persons,
one-sixth of whom are for trial, there are also 40f
female prisoners confined within the factory of Para-
matta.

The black natives near New Castle have again
become troublesome, they selected what they thought
fit, and destroyed and burnt the remainder of a
but ; and had also set fire to the bridge building
over Iron Bark Creek, which was much damaged ;
a wish is expressed that the Justices of the Peace
of the territory had their limits of authority more.

The American schooners General Sucre and 804-
rat., with spirits and sugar, from Manilla, had called
at the Derwent for refreshment,and were much pleas-
ed with the appearance of the town.
Five of the men convicted of piracy for the seizure
of the Wellington, had been executed, it is hoped
the remaining 60 may be sent to Norfolk.
A recommendation is expressed, that a duty of
10 per cent. should be levied on the amount of all
property amassed,' when the party intends to re-
turn to Europe. This alludes to a Mr. Paul, au
auctioneer, who, as stated, has realized au ample
fortune in the course of four years, in New South
Wales.

In consequence of a paragraph in the Australia
paper, a duel had been fought between Colonel
D-g and Dr. W-. 1; the former accompanied
by Captain G-n, the latter by W-h; when,
after exchanging three shots, the seconds interfered,
and Dr. W-1 walked up to Colonel D----g and
apologised. Colonel D-g's third pistol missed
fire ; the parties walked off the course, however,
without any reconciliation taking place,

An Inquest was held this morning, before
Mr. Alderman EvAws, one of the City Coroners, on the
body of an old man,
upwards of 80 years of age, named
Taylor, who was found dead by his bed side. It appeared
that the deceased, who was a man of extremely temrerate
habits, returned to his room last night about ten o'clock,
as usual. He !no in the habit of ringing to have his
candle taken away, and not doing so within an hour, the
servant went to fetch it, when she found the old gentleman
on his knees, by the bed-aide, and the bed-clothes turned
down. She thought he was still at prayers, and retired ;
but on coming again in an hour's time, the still found hint
in the same situation, and upon examination he proved to
be quit%dead. Verdict,—“ Died by the visitation of God.'
