NEW SOUTH WALES.

By the last accounts- from New South Wales; down
to the 7th of March, it appears such is the rapidly
increasing population of this territory, that, agree-
ably to the official Census in October, there were
mustered, in Sydney alone, 13,400 persons, being
1400 more than in the year 1810 were in the various
settlements of the whole territn! y, including Van D:e-
meit's Land. The total poreilation. of Si•L'.!.ey, Para-
maitarLiverpool, Windsor, lia:bnrst, Newceittle, and•
the surrounding districts, was mustered at 34.400;
and; including Van Diemen': band, the inhabilants
of the territory at large, at the chase of the last year.
mete: ive exceeded 42,000 persnns. TEe increase of
respectable settlers during the preceding two ;rears
exceeds the whole number that had arrived in the .
rrcceding 32 years of the establihruent of the 13:itish
Government in this part of the world. •So late as'
1818, therC were only ten Nlagistrates, and by the
last Papers we see.that Sir T. BkisnAt4e had directed
a Dedimus Potestal-em to be issued to 26 Gentlemen,
exclusive of the Magistrates of Van Diemen's Lard.
Lieutenant It. Jolt sTsroNE,R.N. who had been sent
to examine the coast to the southward of Jervis's Bay,
to ascertain if a river fell into the sea near that place,
found at• the head of Bateman .Bay this of
a fine clear capacious river, with nine feet water over
the bar, deepening after to she fititomc, and continu-
ing from four to seven fathoms for 25 miles. For the
first 15 miles the land is stated to be good forest land,
after which irbectimes lower and Stier for cultivation.
—Mr., TH ROSBY had also- proceeded overland from
Sydney to Jervis's Bay (having 'set out on the 28d of
Noveniber, and returned on the 6th Decemberi; he
is decidedly of opinion that a good road may be cut
from Sydney to thatharbour, and reports the land to
be extremely rich and- promising. The Wag Ga-
zette, of March Bth, says---" In confirmation of the
many avOWah that New South Wales has latterly
rapidly increased in'coMmercial prosperity, we state
the pleasing fact,. -that ten vessels have left the'pot is
of Australasia, with cargoes for Europe, within- the
space of twelve months.' ' ' '

A young man, of the. name of Isaac Ober,-aged
about nineteen, was killed bylightuiiig ut-, New Boston,
on Monday, the Ist of July, together with his dog
running by his side. What is %Militia! in such cases,
the head-of the young man-was considerably fractUred.
William Nulter, a native of Maine, died in Ne4r
York on the 20th ultimo, in consequence of drinking
cold water.

As a man was lately driving a load of hogs through
Broome-street, near the Presbyterian Church;Phila-
delphia, the cries of those in the-cart soon attratted
about a score of others, threatening destruction to
every person who
.came in their way. One of the
largest of them gave chase to a boy about six years of
age, threw him down, and instantly 'attempted to
seize him by the throaf ; fortunately, 'however, it
missed its aim ; it then laid hold of him by the breast,
and would soon have killed :him, -if a young man,
who happened to be near, had not rushed forward
with a knife and killed the hug.;
MRS. SARAH BON D.—Abotit.tvielye months since,
we announced -the death of this eccentric within, at
her residence; Cambridge heath; leasinggreat Wealth,
which was to go to King George.the Fourth, if I°
relative could be found to claim-it.- Since her death;
vestry and parish.clerks, beadles, sextons, country
schoolmasters, and all persons holding any ottcial
situations about cathedrals, churches, or chapels, have
been employed in searching out her pedigree, but all
to no effect, The publicity thecircurnstance obtained

week Tim and his son; a youth aboutl6;
from Sunderland, from -whence they -tad
_walked ; • he
said his name was Bond; he was sure she was his sister;
and he would not quit London without the money:
.
hcol/ever; upon investigation, he could produce no
other authotity than being of the same name ; he was
therefore compelled to return again almost pennyleis.
The week previous, a decently di essed elderly maiden
female made her appearance ; she had just arrived
outside the stage from the environs of carmartheqs.
her story was, that about SO years ago her sister left
her, and had proceeded to London to seek her Toi,s
tune; they had never corresponded, but from the
-name and description of -the deceased, she had Ina
doubt hot she was her sister, and that the money be-
longed to her ; it had cost her nearly all the cash site
could raise to come from Wales, fully satisfied
with being amply repaid for her trouble. She met
with the same fate as the preceding applicant. The
next claimant was a Jack-tar, who had just returned
from the West Indies, where he had been Moored,
he said, thirty-five years ; he lett two sisters be-
hind him named Bond ; one was very remarkable
for the eccentricity of her !banners, partitularly
her love for money ; and he declared he had been
an eye-witness to her trequently /making a vied on
cat's meat; this he thought quite sufticieut proof of
his relationship, and insisted upon entering a caveat
against the claim of King George the Fourth ; hilt
being convinced that his Majesty at present appeared
to be the legal claimant, be swore he would "go and
tee his Royal Master, and ax him if he had any ob-
jection to dividing the money between them ?" It is
Impassible to enumerate the numberof persons that
have put in' their clainw front all quarters of.the
world.; but the King's Proettsr stands first, in the
'native Cqurt, and nothing has yet transpired to
affect. his right in behalf of his Majesty:. Die hut
