A Gentlemtn jun arrived from New Soutbiitfalee
gives the "following interelling account of that little.
ment, as afcertained by him in OCtobet laft:
" New South \Vales, of which Sydney h the ta-
pir al, contains about eight thnufand inhabitants (in.
eluding rhore of Norfolk Wands). 'The number, is
alto very rapidly increafing, from• the great additions
fent from England, •alid from-the prolific nature of
thofe who are•refident. The climate is wholefomei
and the face of the country delightful, confidering
that the colony is hill in an infant Rate. The Ha w kef.
bury River is beautiful, and the foil of the adjacent
lands-is rich and fertile to a degree .fcarcely to be
equalled by any titbit track ofialid 'to the Choi et •
tent. It is, however, liable to otie inoonveniaxi, as
it is often overflowed by the .floodshorn the adjacent
rticoniktainr, where the river is thought to have its
fource. This inconvenience is felt/orb felt, however.
only when the heavf rains commence, which gene-
rally happens in May. June; dr July. The tempo-
rary annoyance which this eircinntlance otcafions, is,
betides, mote than amply compepfated by the manure)
which the floods leave on the grotind. which, ow.
ing to this cattle. is never impoverithed. It is evi-
dent from this circumflance, that the overflowing of
the River may, in the courfe of improvement, be
directed in fuch a manner as to fertilize a very ex-
tenfive country. and New South Wales ma v, at no
very distant period, rival the exuberance of ancient
"4 Molt part of the land, if well cultivated, will
produce from eighty to one hundred bulimic of In-
dian corn per acre, and thirty buthels of wheat, in
addition to that, as a fecund crop in the fame year is
reckoned but a moderate produce. The other parts
of the country which are cleared, are not equal to
the ground upon Hawkefbury River, for the produc-
tion of corn, but are all excellent for pantile. The
climate is exceedingly favosteabje for fruit trees, and
in a fhort time firth will be more abundant than the
confumption of the inhabitants can require.—
Peaches are exceedingly pleutiful, aidlan atteMptihas
been made to diflil cyder from them, but I am in-
formed that it is not very palatable. A few hops are
alfo growing in the Lieutenant-Governor's garden,
which as it is fuppored, will thrive very well. The
public buildings eonfift of a church nearly complete,
lituated at Paramatt.i, about (lateen miles from
Sydney ; another which is building at Sydney ; the
'buildings for the Governor and Lieutenant Gover-
nor, the latter of whom commands the troops ; ban
racks for the officers and foldiers ; hofpitals, Ilore-
houfes, gaols, Ste. &c. There, together with nine•
tenths of the private buildings, are but one limey
high. Within a few years pail there has been an es-
teem building creeks' fur the education of Orphans,
and a fund appt npriated fur its fupport. The inereafe
of the flock is furprifing, particularly fheep, Which
produce twice a-year.
.4 The imports are principally European goods.
Tea, fugar, hotter, fpii its, and wine are much in de-
mand. At prefent the exports are not great, but in
all probability they will loon be very confiderable,
particularly whale and elephant oil, the trade in
which to Bats Straits is rartiA un at precept with
fume fpirit.
" The harbour of Port Jack fim is large and com-
modious, and capable of containing any number of
(hipping, and fheltered from all winds. It is ear), of
seeds, but about a quarter of a mile from the en-
trance has a flans' in mid-channel, which diktat low
water,

" The honks of the conviets are in general con-
ilrufted of wanks covered with Mingles, and plai-
tiered infide and out with clay, over which they put
a coat of lime, burnt from Mells, giving them a very
neat and clean a;spearance. It is feldnm that two
families inhabit one dwelling, therefore every man
becomes abrolutely mailer of his honk, and when
he can afford it he weather-boards and paints it. In
the (mallet dwelling I entered, I never law Ivfs than
two apartmenti: Many 'Mures are eonitrutted• with
bricks, and as !well finiiked to the eye as European
buildings. Iti fuck the apartments are numerous.
In Ihort, from the very comfortable manner in which
thefe people ate lodged (much mote fo than the
pour in England) I cannot avoid temarking, that
it no doubt has a tendency to promote a great degree
of health and flow of fpirits, of which I obleeved
them to be poffeffed, and readily accounts for many
wishing to remain whole years of banilliment have
aspired."
From thefe accounts it would appear, that tranf-
pertation to New South Wales would ceidi to be a
punifhwient, were it (tom any other country than
England ; but for the bleffings of this country no-
thing can be a compctifation ; and bmiflintent from
thi► to any other place in thewotid would be a curls.

A Love's I SAVED —lt is cruel indeed to
ncgleEt the cries and tears of thole dear innocents
they cannot tell their afßiaion. Stich was the dread-
ful cafe with the infant of a wine merchant tall week.
Its cries would have pierced the hardell heart, while
devoured by a voracious anima), formed like a Lob.
tier. with four fangs to its head, and eight legs to the
body, about two inches long, and green colour: co
vered with hair, and very dreadful to the human eye.

day or night, with the infant's Sighs and groans, Dr.
