VAN DIEMAN'S LAND.

AN END TO THE CONVICT SYSTEM.—We have heard from
a source on which we place great reliance, that it is more
than probable that the next convict ship will be THE LAST
that will ever be dispatched from England for this colony.
The intention being to form a new settlement every year
along the north coast of New Holland, until every harbour is
settled. The social system probation men from Norfolk
Island are said to be the pioneers who are to prepare the
several places for the reception of the free settlers. As
soon as this is accomplished, all the well-behaved men will
get tickets of leave : those who have misbehaved, will be
forwarded to a new settlement for further probation ; and
that from which they are removed, will be thrown open to
free settlers—the ticket ofleave probationers furnishing them
with labour. We will take an early opportunity of consider-
ing at some length the probable effects of this projected
change upon the future prospects of this and the other Aus-
tralian colonies. We have long ago predicted that the men
who were laying out so much money in buildings in Hobart
Town would find that they were misapplying their capital.
Hobart Town, as a head, has far, very far, out-grown the
body which supports it ; but we have not space to enter on
the subject this week.

POLITICAL CHARACTERS

(From the Oxford Herald.)
LORD DURHAM.
The haughty Lambton next advanc'd,
Of all his race the valiant'st,
Durham the great, renown'd in song,
Like Herc'les for repair of wrong.
He rais'd the law, and fortify'd
The weak against the strongest side ;
Part friend he was to reformation,
Until 'twas worn quite out of fashion.
Neat rectifier of every law,
And would make three to cure one flaw.
Learned he was, and could take note,
Transcribe, collect, translate and quote ;
But spouting was his chiefest talent,
Or argument, in which, being valiant,
He used to lay about and stickle,
Like ram or bull at conventicle.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, AUG. 17

Ihe import of dry Butter during the past week has not been
heavy. There has been a better demand, but at no advance in
price. Belfast we continue to note 94s to 91 s ; Waterford, Carlow
and Kilkenny, of respectable brands, 93s to 955. Pickled Butter is
Is per cwt. lower. Beef and Pork in moderate request at rather
lower rates. Bacon again higher, the finest Belfast being worth
53s to 55s per cwt.

CAMPEACHY

The schooner Patriot, which arrived at New Orleans on
the 15th July, brings later accounts f ont Campeachy, whence
she sailed on the Bth. That port is now in possession (tithe
federalists, and has been since the'l6th of June last. On
that day the garrison of Campeachy, to the number of two
hundred men, surrendered. The terms of capitulation were,
that the prisoners should be permitted to carry away with
them their arms and baggage. They were transported to
Vera Cruz in five schooners belonging to the federalists,
under convoy of a French corvette. On landing the troops,
the agreement was that the federal schooners should be per-
mitted to return unmolested, and the French corvette at-
tended the squadron in order to enforce the fulfilment of the
stipulation. The utmost quiet and good order reigned through-
out Yucatan.

western country, say up to the Brazes, beyonddFort Bend
and Richproud, to the Colorado, there could not be
a finer country for English families who are desirous of
emigrating. The quality of the land is very superior:
it is a fine, open country, and the plough can at once
be put into operation ; the pasturage, too, is' abundant;
herds of cattle are met with everywhere, and to be pUr-
chased at twelve to fourteen dollars a-head, say £2 10s.
sterling. Of course, any one who goes out to a new country
must expect to rough it for some time, particularly an agri-
culturist; still, the climate is mild, and, except a north wind
that blows sometimes during the winter months, any party
may live well under a tent till he builds his log-house. La-
bour is exceedingly expensive, so that every one who goes out
must be dependent upon his own exertions. With respect to
mechanics, I think that most trades would do well, but I
have a better opinion of farming than any other; the two,
however, coinbined will always answer; and, if the besetting
sin of drunkenness can be dispensed with, I am sure any man
may do well there. Provisions are expensive, but this will
only be a drawback for six months to the settler : he can

raise more in the first year than twenty families can consume.
A Mr. Fitzgerald, a friend of mine, who has been both to
Van Diemen 's Laud and New South Wales, says, that one
acre of land on the borders of the Colorada, or any part (
the western country, is worth, for grazing
any live he ever saw in those settlements

I am of opinion

that good wool, with judicious crossing of the common Alex,
can sheep, which can be bought for 55., would be very pro-
ductive, as well as the rearing of cattle. I would strenuously
advise all the parties going out on no account to listen to the
tales they hear of this or that tine situation, but go there and
select, and keep their money in their pocket. Not one-half
of the claims which are Sold are valid: with the money there,
they will buy what they want at fifty per cent. cheaper. The
climate on the sea coast is like all the Gulf Mexico ; not so
the rolling lands on the Colorado' and about Richmond,
Washington, &c. the climate there I think unexceptionable,
and in every way suited to English constitutions. Above all,
impress your friends, that their money is better in their pock-
ets than laid out among these schemers. If you- will send any
party to me who wants any particular account of the place, I

TO THE CONSERVATIVE RATEPAYERS,

" Up, boys, and at them," was the rallying cry of " the
Duke" at the memorable battle of Waterloo. " Up, con-
servatives, and at them" is the advice which we would offer
to the ratepayers during the impending struggle for the office
of Dock Trustees.

The contest which was commenced yesterday is one which
involves far more important results than the conservative
ratepayers of Liverpool seem to be generally aware of. The
question at issue is, not whether we shall return fivetnser-
vatives to the Dock-office—not whether we shall have dock-
warehouses erected—but whether the borough of Liverpool,
with all its important interests is to be handed over, in
perpetuity, to whig-radical thraldom.
Conservative ratepayers of Liverpool! we would have you
to reflect upon the momentous consequences which are in-
volved in the present struggle. Upon your decision will de •
pend the future independence or the future degradation of
the borough. Are you willing to be made the subservient
tools of Alderman Evans, and the radical clique who com
pose his " tail ?" Do 'you wish to see the• Council-room
once more filled with radicals ? Are you willing to have the
town represented in parliament by two thorough-going mi-
nisterialists? Your votes to-day will solve these questions,
either to your honour, or to your disgrace—either to the sal-
vation of the town from radical tyranny, or to its degrada-
tion and enslavement.

" Procrastination is the thief of time." We beseech you
to be prompt in tendering your votes. Delay or indecision
may cause you hereafter many a pang of bitter but unavailing

TO THE RATE-PAYERS TO THE DOCK ESTATE

The struggle was this day commenced by the liberal party
in the Town-council,,under the firm of Eyre Evans, Tindal
Atkinson and Co., to swamp the cause of conservatism in
this town.

Unable, as the leaders are well aware, by their own
strength, to do any injury ;, they have induced some gentle-
men among the conservaives to permit themselves to be
brought forward as candidates, under the plea, that the
Warehouse ouestion is not a political question. This con-
clusion I decidedly deny, and ere too late, I urge those con-
servatives who have not voted to take aarning, and by ten-
dering their votes at one o'cl9ck to-morrow, (to which time
the polling is adjourned) in favour of Messrs. Potter,
Crosthwaite, Chaloner, Henderson, and Bold, convince the
brawlers for liberty, that the cause of conservatism is still
dear to them.

The standard of feminine beauty demands ;

Three black—and our standard departure forbids
Worn dark eyes, darksome tresses, and darkly-fringed lids;
Three. red—and the lover of comeliness seeks
For.the hue of the rose in the lips, nails, and cheeks ;
Three long—and of this you, no doubt, are aware,
Long the body should be, long the hands, long the hair;
Three short—and herein nicest beauty appears,
Feet short as a fairy's, short teeth, and short ears ;
Three large—and remember this rule as to size,
Embraces the shoulders, the forehead, the eyes ;
Three narrow—a maxim to every man's taste,
Circumference small in mouth, ancle, and waist ;
Three round—and in this I see infinite charms—
Rounded fulness apparent in leg, hip, and arms ;
Three fine, and can aught the enchantment eclipse
Of fine tapering fingers, fine tresses, fine lips ?
Three small—and my thirty essentials are told,
Small head, nose, and bosom compact in its mould.

Will need not the cestus of Venus to please ;

TO THE EDITOR
,OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD,

Sin.,—lt is positively disgraceful the apathy of the conser-
vatives in the struggle now going on in the Dock-office :
many refused to go to the poll because it rained!!! and, un-
leSs every exertion is made this day, the cause is lost.
A CONSERVATIVE RATEPAYER.

FANCY BALLS.—We understand that some gentlemen of
our town intend giving a series of public fancy balls during
the coming winter. If properly managed, we think no
means of enjoyment likely to become more popular in the
good old town." In London, Paris, and many provincial
towns, this elegant recreation is daily becoming more admired
and general. Its light, airy gaiety is unsullied by the coarse-
ness and lack of delicacy which too often attended the almost
exploded masquerade; and its brilliant.display of beauty and
magnificence, its vivid realisation of the fairy dreams of
childhood, and its comparative freedom from the formal re-
strictions of the full-dress ball, bid fair to dethrone the lat-
ter, and erect in its place the far more fascinating attractions
of the fancy ball.
