sented him with captains dress OIL this occa-

BOTANY RAY

The Analeclic Magazine for tie present
month, after observing that a new Cover
nor has been appointed for New s. Wales,
which IS 10 be discontinued as place OF
punishment, and 10 be converted TO more
important purposes, proceeds 10 give some
account OF the settlement, derived from
the information fan eyewitness. The
following is an abstract Of that account =
Botany Bay is so called from the guam
fly Of new botanical plants found growing
on its shOrcs-'The most considerable dis
trlct is Sidney, where are built ships of
500 tons, which sail 10 China and Peru
The East India Company are jealous of
the trade to Chin should they crush if,
by their influence in the British Parlia-
ment, the measure would infailibly pro-
duce opposition, and might be produc-
tive of serious rupture. The climate is
pure, diseases being scarcely known,)
and the soil is excellent. The spring there
is in August. Fresll fruits and vegetables
are produced in every season. Agricui-
tural labor is the most profitable aitho'
III the town are found mechanics, manu-
facturers, and artists of every description.
There are two harvests i'll the year, of
maize produces 600 ! Rice, millet, and
oats, thrive well.
The wild cattle are almost as nume-
Tous as in South America. A peculiar
breed of sheep has produced very SUI
pcrior fleece, estimated to be worth 6s.
per pound in England. The climate is
favorable for sheep, and the mutton is not
surpassed. A woOilen mandatory is
established at ParamatIa, a dependcn-
Cy,) and al Sidney, 78 looms are employ
ed i'm weaving sails and sacking, a coarse
cloth and linen.
From Sidney, the voyage to New Yea
land is frequently performed in three
days ; 10 China, ill five weeks ; TO Peru,
IN four; to Bengal, in six, and to the
Cape of Good Hope, in fve.-The sea
that washes the shores of New South
Wales and of Peru, has violent currents,
no trade winds, no Chinese tuffOons.
Herring visited Botany Bay during No
vember aud the following months and
five or six species of the fish common 10
the British Channel are daily caught.
Sperm whales abound. One house in
Sidney, Of three partners, formerly con-
riots, in one year RENTED OIL and seal skins
to London to the value ofl50,O00. The
trade in skins and Goals is the most thri-
wing the culture of flax and hemp, for
expectation, is rapidly increasing. Alasts
and spars are exported TO Bengal and a
profitable trade is carried on in sandal
wood, procured from the neishbouring
Feejee islands.
P0ttarics and breweries have been csta-
blIshed. Iron ore, good and abundant,
has been discovered, but moi yet worked.
But The chief hope Of New South Wales
consists in IFS extensive Wild territory, re-
Gently explored. IT is probable that here
the future glories Of this interesting coun-
try will FIX their seat. Already the peo-
pie are 81 remote from calamilyas any ma
ton upon earth. Perhaps at no distant
day, the infant colony arriving at mature
vlgor, may jectparentdl control, and as
sumo The Independent functions OF its
manhood.

will not soon return to America.
With the intention of proposing a set
tlement with his de- tor, Swaney went on
tie laih OF March 10 the shop of Baiily
lie offered him glass OF brandy, and al
So To workman who was present, and
led the conversation 10 the business III
hand. lie offered TO reiimquSh 300
francs of his demand, If Bailiy would give
him note which he could negotiate, So
that le might return TO his country. Bail
ly refused, saying, Bring your su;t .
manage as you will, youwill get nothing.
These words threw Swaney inio despair /;
he was so turiouslv emraged, that lle seiz-
ed the bottle that stood upon The table,
broke il TO atoms upon Ba,Iiy's head. aud
wounded him so as 10 Il priye HIM iorev-
er OF sight.
Struck with horror at the act he had
committed III his passion, Swaney left
the house. He was advised 10 az he
refused. He was told the guard would
come and take him. He reniicd, well /;
will moi wait for hln will 90 ami
seek him." He went Immediately 10 the
guard house, acknowledged the act ofvi-
olence he had been guilty Of, and dcclar-
eel himself ready 10 submit 10 the punish
ihent OF it.
During the whole course of the exa-
mination and Of the pleadings before the
court of assizes, Swaney constantly gave
proof of the most hearty and sincere re-
pentance. He always expressed himself
IN the tone of frankness and grief He
attributed TO the despair in which he was
plunged, the act of fury of which he had
been guilty. When he heard Bailly pro-
nounce these words, YOU will get moth
ing, he was struck as with d ihunderbolt.
He saw all hope O. returning to his coun-
try, and OF seeing his family again was
lost to him. He saw himself exposed TO
misery, and TO death. II the river had
been near him, he should hare droUned az it
ks anger amI las dShoaor.
There were many Americans in tie
Court room. The United States Consul
was in the Advocates bench, near the
counsc! of Swaney, who, though he ex-
pressed himself with some diitiyulty in
French, yet had no need ct an interpreter.
Many Witnesses were heard. All testi-
fed the goodness, the senshility of heart
of the accu ed, and his active Charity
The audience were much affected by the
testimony Of the young tailor.
NJ. de Schooner. kings advocate, thought
he must persist in considering Swaney as
having given the wound voluntarily, but
never, said he, can the rOyal ccmency to
which the jury and the court will earnest
~ recommend him, be exercised upon u
person more deserving OF it,
Baily having brought civil prosecu-
ton, lis cause was piea,ied by MIR. Boyer
Swaney was del nded by Mr. Chalk d Es-
tango, with much zeal and talent
The jury pronounced the accused gull
ty of INJECTING the wound, but that it did
not appear That he did ii voluntarily. The
court acquitted him of the criminal
charge bat he was amerced in 600 francs
damages for the benefit of Bailly.
