An affair, in some respects analogous to the cele-
brated trial of Rhodez, bad been prosecuted before
the Assize Court of Montauban. The circumstances

are briefly as follow :
A-young female, named Henrietta Etehe, was isduiad
by earnest professions of future marriage, to consent to
an illicit connexion with a rich farmer's son, near
Pease. On his parents dying, Ile failed to fnitil his
promise, and his frail mistress became the wife of an-
other; notwithstanding which they still carried on their
criminal intercourse. Henrietta, deceived in the hopes
she so long entertained of partaking the fortune of her
false paramour, resolved to get possession of a portion of
it. To this end, she one day enticed Wing° her hushand's
house, where he had scarcely taken his seat by the fire,
when her husband entered settle a large knife in his band,
and behind him soother man armed with a similar
weapon. Thev seised him instantly, and menaced him
with the fate of the unfortunate Feakles, if he did not
sign two promissory notes which they presented to him.
To save his life, he consented ; notwithstanding this
isompliance, however, his death was still meditated, when
Henrietta on her knees begged his life, which was
granted, and he was compelled to take an oath of secrecy.
Next day, however, he went to Caussade, and deposed
M the Areurnstanees of the attack before a Justice of the
Peace. The house. was taken possession of by the
p.-
lice, and the two notes, to the *mount of 30,000 francs,
were found in the mattress of the bedding. Henrietta
and the accomplice, were rendetuned to six
years' imprlsonummt is Ovally Her hesbond was as*

The following letter to the Governor of New South
`Wales, from a gentleman employed in tracing to its
Warn the rivet Macquarie, *ill probably prove inter-
esting to our readers :-
1 Pert Stephen', Nev. I, 1616.
Iltn—l have the honour to inform your Excellency
diet 1 arrived at this port to-day ; and circumstances
tendering it necessary that Mr. Evans should proceed
to Newcastle, 1 embrace the opportunity to make to your
rillbeellency a brief report of the route pursued by the
ulletern expedition entrusted to my direction.
*My letter, dated the rid June last, will have made
pikst Excellency acquainted with the sanguine hopes I
ittrtained from the appearance of the river, that its
lotion would f i either in interior waters, or coase-1
lipys. When I wrote that letter to your Excellency, I
lenrtainly did not anticipate the possibility that a very
few Jays further travelling would lead us to its termina-
-1
Iden as an accessible river.
On the 29th of June, having traced its course without
the smallest diminution or addition, about AI miles fur-
ther to the N. N. W. there being a slight fresh in the
river, it overflowed its banks; and although we were at
the distance of near three miles from it, the country was
se perfectly level that the waters soon spread over the
pound on which we were. We had been for some days
Wore travelling over such very low ground, that the
people in the boats finding the country flooded, proceed.
ed slowly, a circumstance which enabled use to send
them directions to return to the station we had quitted
I the morning, where the ground was a little more
'berated. This spot being by no means secure, it was
arranged that the horses with the provisions should re-
torn to the last high land we had quitted, *distance of 16
miles; and, as it appeared to me that the body of water in
the river was too important to be much affected by the
mere overflowing of its waters, I determined to take the
large boat, and in her to endeavour to discover their
point of discharge.

Oa the 24 July I proceeded in the boat down the
river, and in the course of the day went near 30 miles
on a N.N.W. course, for ten of which there had been,
strictly speaking, no land, as the flood made tke sur-
rounding country a perfect sea; the banks of thT river
were heavily timbered ; and many large 'spaces within
oar view, covered with the common reed, were also ell-
r circled by large trees. On the 3d, the main channel of
the river was much contracted but very.deep, the banks
being under water from a foot to 18 inches; the stream
continued for about 20 miles on the same course as yes-
terday, when we lost sight of land and trees, the clian-
nri of the river winding through reeds, among which
the water was about three feet deep, the current having
the same direction as the river. It continued in this
manner for near four miles more; when, without any
previous change in the breadth, depth, and rapidity of
the 'dream, and when 1 was sanguine in my expectations
of soon entering the long desired place, it all at once eluded
'7ol:nwrsnil, by sprusdiug ea 404 pieta frees
1111 E. over the plain of tends which surrounded
us, the river decreasing in depth from upwards of 20
fret to less than five feet, and flowing over a bottom of
tenacious blue mud, and the current still running with
nearly the same rapidity as when the water was confined
within the banks of the river. This point of junction
with interior waters, or where the Macquarie ceased to
have the form of a river, is in latitude 30. 45. S. and
longitude 147. 10. E.

To assert positively that we were on the margin of the
lake or sea into which this great body of water is die-
charged, might reasonably be deemed a conclusion that
has nothing hut conjecture for its basis t bet if an opi-
nion may be hazarded from actual appearances, which
our sobsepient route tended more strongly to confirm,
feel confident we were in the immediate vicinity of an
inland sea, most probably a shoal one, hod gradually
decreasing, or being filled up by the immense deposi-
tions front the waters lowing into it from the higher
lands, which, on this singular Continent, seem not to
extend a few hundred miles front the sea coast, as, west-
ward of these bounding ranges (which, from the obser-
vations I hare been enabled to make, appear to me to
run parallel to the direction of the coast) there is not a
single bill or other eminence discoverable on this ap-
parentiv boundless space, those isolated points excepted,
on which tee remained until the 28tis of July, the rocks
and stones c posing which are a distinct species from
those found ou the above ranges.

1 trust that your Excellency will believe, that, filly
impressed with the great importance of the question as
to the intrrior formation of this great country, I was
anxiously solicitous to remove all ground for further
conjecture, by the most careful observations on the
Galore of the country, which, though it was to me a
proof that the interior was covered with water, yet I
felt it my duty to leave no measure untried which
cola in any way tend to an elucidation of the
'fart.

It was physically impracticable to gain the edge of
these waters by making a detour round the dooded por-
tion of the eonatry on the S. W. side of the river, as we
provei it to be a barren wet marsh, over-run with a
species of polyginant, and not offering a single dry
spot to Which our course might be directed ; and that
there was no probability of finding any in that direction
1 had a certain knowledge from the observations made
during the former expedition.
To circle the flooded country to the N. E. yet remained
to be tried; and when on the 7th July I returned to the
tents, which 1 [mod pitched on the high land before
mentioned, and from whence we could see mountains at
the distance of 80 miles to the eastward, the country be.
tween being a perfect level, Mr. Evans was sent forward
to explore the country to the N. E. that being the point
on which I purposed to set forward.
On the Itlth July, Mr. Evans returned, having been
prevented from continuing on a N. E. course beyond
two days' journey, by waters running north-easterly
through high reeds, and which were most probably
those of thollfacqoarie River, as during his absence it
had swelled so considerably as entirely to surround us,
coming within a few yards of the tent. Mr. Evans after-
wards proceeded more easterly, and at a distance of 50
miles from the Macquarie River, crossed another mach
wider, but sot so deep, rattail% to the north ; advancing
still more easterly, he went nearly to the base of the
mountaintseen from the tent, and returning by a more
motherly mew found the country somewhat drier, but
not it) the halt more elevated.
The discretionary instructions with which your fix-
milenty was pleased to furnish me, leaving pm at li-
berty es to tie coarse to be pursued by the eupedition
pa its rptura to Port Jackson, I detereainri to attempt

linking the sea sent on as innerly couralatelero-
lending along the base of the h4/11 n-
tined. which I still Indulged MINI 4rt haid lle t4',

embracing a low line of coast on ehn gteiti ow

the knowledge obtained of the conatry we "elan liner-
de, might 'materially tend to the advantage 14 Go-
lony. in the erne of any communication with the in-
tern being discovered.
We quitted this station on the 30th Jelh being, in la-
titude 31. 18. S. and longitude WI 31. K 4 MD r'irs,
route for the coast, and on thoglitli oi Anonetaerls - i

range we had the most extended prenpen: From South

the mien is extent, but yet without water being ilf"-
cerned, the range of high land exhindle, to the N. E.
by N. elevated points of which were dieuegnished up-
wards of 120 miles.

From this point, in conformity to tht resolution I
bad made on quitting the Macquarie River, I 'pursued a
N. B. course; but after encountering numerous clifficu:-
ties, from the country being an entire marsh, inter-
spersed with quicksands, until the 20th August, whe,,,
7 fiodi I was surrounded by bogs, I was rsluctant!y
compelled btake a more easterly course, having prac-
tice y proved, that the country could not be temperer.'
on any point deviating from the main range of hirq
which bound the interior, although partial dry portion,
of level alluvial extend from their base westerly to a dis-
tance which I estimate to exceed 150 miles, before it is
gradually lost in the waters which I am clearly con-
vinced corer the interior.

The alteration in oar coarse more easterly, soon
brought us into a very different description of country,
forming a remarkable contrast to that which had so
king occupied us. Numerous fine streams roaming
northerly, watered a rich and beautiful c.oentty,
through which we passed until the 7th of September,
when we crossed the Meridian of Sydney, as also the
most elevated known land in New Smith Wales, being
then in latitude 31. 03. S. We were afterwards con-
siderably embarrassed and impeded by very lofty IDOIIII-
tains. On the 20th of September we gained the sum-
mit of the most elevated mountains in this extensive
range, and fromiwere gratified with a view of the
ocean, at a dist*m fifty miles, the country beneath
us being formed into an immense triangular vatic!, the
base of which exteAed along the coast from the Thine
Brothers on the th, to high land north of Smoky
Cape. We had the further gratification to find that we
were near the source of a large stream running t the
sea. On descending the mountain. we followed the
course of this river, increased by many acceseless,
dn-
iil the Bth of October, when we arrived on the beach
near the entrance of the port which received it, having
passed over, since the Bth of July, a track of coaatry
near 500 miles in extent from west to east. •
This inlet is situated in latitude 31. 518.38- S. Awl
longitude NI. 30. 18. East, and had been previevily
soured by Captain Flanders, bet from the distance at
which he was necessarily obliged to keep front the
coast, he did not discover that it had a navigable en-
trance ; of course our most anxious enemies woodi-
rected to this important point ; and although the wont
of a boat rendered the examination as to die depth of
water in the channel incomplete, yet there reit
to be at low water at least three fathoms, wiser:a:safe
though narrow entrance between the sirad.rotteri on
either hand. Having ascertained thus far, and that by
its means the fine country on the banks and he the neigh-
bourhood of the river might be of future service to the
Colony, I took the liberty to name it Port Macquarie,
in honour of your Excellency, as the original promoter
of the expedition.

Oa the 12th October we quitted Port Macquarie,.oar
our coarse for Sydney. and although no charts can be
more accurate in their outline and principal points than
those of Captain Flinders, we soon expenenced how lit-
tle the best marine charts can be depended upon, to
show all the inlets and openings upon an extensive line
of coast; the distance his ship was generally at. front
that portion of the coast we had to travel over did not
allow him to perceive openings, which, though doubt-
less of little consequence to shipping, yet presented the
most serious difficulties to travellers by land, and of which,
if they bad been laid down in the chart, I should have
hesitated to have attempted the passage, without as-
sistance from the sea-ward; as it is, we are indebted
for our preservation, sod that of the horses, to the pro-
vidential discovery of a small boat on the beach, which
die men with the most cheerful alacrity carried • up-
wards of 90 miles on their shoulders, thereby enabling
Ise to overcome obstacles, otherwise insurmountable.
Until within these few days 1 hoped to have had the
satisfaction to. report the return of the expedition
lout accident to any individual composing it, but such is
the ferocious treachery of the satires along the coast to
the northward, that oar utmost cireninspeotiou could not
wave us from having 'one man (William Blake) savirelf
oossolisd by them, at by the skilful care bestowed orb
bits by Dr. Harris (who accoispaaied the expedition he
a vebtateer, and so whom, upon this occasion, 'mid
tbreagbaat the whole zoom of it, we are iadebted tor
mach valuable assistance), I trust his recovery is on
Wager doubtful.
The general merit of Mr. Evans is so well known to
your Excellency, that it will here be sufficient to observe,
that by bis sealons attention to every point That Gould
facilitate the progress of the expedition, be has endea-
voured to deserve a condolence of your Excellency', ap-

of depraved doctrines. It is further stated, that the Di-
rects» of these Schools are, generally speaking, Meth*.
d.sts, whi introdce Bibles, translated into English by
" the Bible Society," and abounding in errors; with the
este. view of sedaang the youth, and entirely eradicating
boa their minds the truths of the orthodox faith.
Under then cirrionstances, your Lordship already
p.reeives with what solicitude and attention pastors are
bound to watch and carefully protect their Rock from
the " snares of wolves, who came in the clothing of
sheep." If the pastors sleep, the enemy wiH quickly
creep is by stealth, and sow the tares; soon will the
tares be seen growing among the wheat, and choak it.
Every possible exertion must, therefore, be made to
keep the youth away from these destructive schools; to
warn parents against suffering their children, on any ac-
count whatever, to be led into error. But, for the pur-
pose of escaping the " snares" of the adversaries, no plan
seems more appropriate than that of establishing schools,
wherein salutary instructions may be imparted to pee-
pers and illiterate country persons.
In the name, then, of the bowels (of the merry) of
Our Lord Jesus Christ, we exhort and beseech your
Lordship to guard your flock with diligence and all due
discretion from those who are in the habit of thrusting
themselves insidiously into the fold of Christ, in order
thereby to lead the nnwary sheep astray; and mindful
of theilsrewarning of Peter the Apostle, given in these
words, viz.—" There shall also be lying masters among
you, who shall bring in sects of perdition," 2. Pet. ii. S.
Do you labour with aH your ant ht, to keep the or-
t'sodoz youth from being corrupted by them—an object
which will, I hope, be easily effected by the establishing
of Catholic schools throughout your diocese. And. con-
fidently trusting, that in a matter of such vast import-
ance, your Lordship will, with unbounded zeal, endea-
vour to prevent the wheat from being choaked by the
tares, I pray the all-good and omnipotent tiod to guard
and oserve yon safe many years.

There are reasons to believe that the Ottoman

ence has surpassed the period calculated by some
of the ablest diplomatists and politicians of the lest
century. The last advice. from Constantinople
speak of serious disturbances having broke. out in
several parts of Asiatic Turkey ; two hides have
been obliged to retire, and the rebels ere masters
of several towns. The Glum) Suonea is still at

What can the Court of Madrid expect any number

The moment the latter Power declares in favour

We take very little interest about which Minis-
ter may go out, or what man may succeed, so far
as it assured the public an amelioration in the Go-
vernment itself, and in the affairs of the country.
But we should suppose Mr. VssairrAirt will be
glad to find an occasion to withdraw from a task
which, whether in its own nature heavy or light,
he seems, poor gentleman, so incompetent to bear.
The publication in The Moniteur, of Paris, last
week, of which we have given a brief sketch, has
shown the people of both countries how inade-
quately the office of Financier of Great Britain is
Ailed at this moment.

We are truly glad to see so much individual corn-
misseration and charity exercised at this inclement
season, in ♦arious parts of the United Kingdom.
It is consistent with, and conformable to the cha-
racter the country bears, in this respect, through-
out the world. It is the Government only which
is unfeeling and inexorable in its extravagance.
Under such a state of things, what great good can
be done by individuals Much that is pleasing to
behold, to be sure, but nothing that will be per-
, manent in its nature.

The representations which reach us every day
of the different distresses of the people of this once
happy and prosperous isle, and which have un-
doubtedly been created by the extravagant, and,
in many other respects, mal-administered Govern-
ment of the country, are enough to rend in twain
the heart of every benevolent man who attends to
them. A few, a very few well and charitably dis-
posed Members of our House of Commons, who re-
ceive intimations of these afflicting scenes in low
life, do attend to them ; but what can so small a
minority do. The majority of these Representa-
tives, of we know not whom, have too much bu-
OWNS of their own, and the Minister's especial bu-
siness to transact, to allow them leisure, if they bad
the disposition, to interfere in what appears to them'
trifling cowmen*. Many of them eater into dig,
Honourable House of Commons upon apendatien
and It isliatural that they should settle their own
private affairs, before they lend themselves to the
concerns of other people. " Charity begins at
home." Nay, if a few humane individuals, like
Mr. Bassist exert themselves to institute an in-
quiry into this or that grievance, affecting the lower
dosses, or any enormous abuse of office, they are ge-
nerally twitted or scoffed at, for having a too perspl-
MMOM eye, which can discover neglect or cruelty in
se Obscure department of the State, and give Minis-
Sem the trouble of making returns or inquiries into
dm alleged neglect or delinquencies of its officers.
Ka few of these patriotic men in Parliament have
new and then made motions, and even carried
sem of them, for inquiries in the state of the work-
houses, gaols, or hulks, very little ultimate good is
ever effected thereby. The Legislators, remote
as they are themselves from such a wretched con-
dition, behold with very little concern those abo-
minable abuses, and either think them not worth
being reformed, or, if allowed to be reformed,
might lead to another kind of reform, a general re-
liseimition, which would more particularly concern
lbw than any class of men whatever. We might
ask, indeed, as a general question, who are the
friends to the poor in a Senate composed of rich
men only t This inquiry would not be thought of,
if the Representation were differently constituted.
As it is, bow few among them are likely to be

weight of the most cruel oppression, they without
shame earnestly and incessantly deliberate on the
