From the foregoing it is evident, by
Mr.. Harris certificate, that the loan from
Mr.. Earnest was unsolicited on my parl,
or rather urged by him; that his bank
notes were not at that time receivable in
the Land Office; and it may easily be
discovered that j. was matter OF accom-
mediation to him, knowing that the Gre
dit OF the southern banks was at tina,
time very fluctuating. The certificate
OF the Rev. Joseph Chance shows that
Mr.. Earnest had received about S4oo

amounted TO about $500 that only about
$500 remained due lin October l823)
on the note. That he was satisfied that
the reports ofmy approaching bankrupt

note for said balance Of about $500 with
security "agreeable to his own PROPOSE

me and was satisfied that my course TO-.

his most pleasing and favoritc visions sud-
denly changed to the sad realities OF sorrow
and dismay. 1t is, however, source OF
consolation, while the wheel OF fortune IS
continually revolving, that even our reverses
are not exempt from the universal decree,
and that they too are not stationary out
that bv due and diligent exertion OF our
mental and physical powers, what appears
lost NAV be restored, exhaustion become
plenitude, relaxation recover its elasticity,
and honest poverty be again endowed with
wealth and rewarded with the blessings of
prosperity and peace.
The celebrated Goldsmith remarks that

is much philosophy and Judgment in the OBJ
servation, which moreover encourages to
practical application. IF eastcrly winds
bring with them dark clouds and unwelcome
news from our mercantile friends in Europe,
let westerly winds bear back to them, what
we trust they will be glad to know, that dis
appointments in business will only induce US
to redouble our efforts, that our spirits will
| bend, but will not break under the pressure
! of losses which human foresight could not
prevent, and inaction cannot remedy, and
that like the undertaking Sun, our Merch-
ants, cheered by "hope that points to tu-
ture good,' will continue to perscvere IN the

MATERNAL AFFECTION.
Ertracf from II Funeral Sermon.


"What other friend has watched like her,
over the hopeless and uneasy hours of sick
ness--borne with its Observation-Disclosures
to it's infrnities-soothed its pains--and
smoothed its feverish pillow Where are
the friends Of our prosperity when "the evil
days come and the years draw nigh, in
which we must say-we have no pleasure In
them?" When the clouds of misfortune de-
scend, and poverty and want overtake us;
when the heart is sick with the unfulhlment
of hope, and the spirit droops over its blast
ed expectation; when the cup of life is en-
poisoned by mischance or gule-when the
storms hath no rainbow, and the midnight
hath no star; where then are the hatterers
of our cloudess skies and our sun-bright
hours! When the schemes of earthly am
bition fail, and the hiss of the multitude fol-
lows our downfall; whittier have they de-
parted. Where is the shadow that attended
us. when the sun has veiled his beams?
Where are the summer birds, when the
voice of winter sighs in the leaf1ess forest?
Alas il is but interest or convenience or hab-
it or fashion that preserves the friendship OF
mankind. Where are the friends OF this
world, when the mouth OF calumny has
breathed mildew and pestilence over the
promise of our growing rePutatlon-W mere
are they, when the LdlHt ol WoiiuiJ ulohouoi
has fallen on our heads, and shame, whether
deserved or not, has pointed us out for scorn
and mockerya They have gone to worship
the rising sun; and left perhaps their former
benefactor to pine in gloomy solitude over
their ingratitude and to feel the biting mem
ory of ''beneits forgot.
| ssFor what is friendship but name,
A charm that lulls to sleep;
A shade that follows wealth and fame,
Then leaves the wretch to weep.
But the attachment of a mother, no change
of fortune-no loss of inhuence--not even
the loss of character can destroy AS the
triumph of her children is her own, SO is
their downfall. and their dishonor Her
heart blceds for them instinctively, her tears
flow unbddcn for their SORROWS. Her eye
follows them while present, and her soul

BOTANY BAY.
From the Quarterly Review.


When Botany Bay was first established
as penal establishment, thirty years
ago, we believe it never entered into the
contemplation of those who recommended
the measure, that such n population and
such state Of society, as now exists in the
two colonies, could have been created within
the first hundred years. The town of Sid.
ney has 1900 houses, and 1000 Inhabitants !;
and such is the demand for land apd new
buildings, that the former in many places Is
stated to be worth 91000 an acre, and that
houses let for from G100 TO :P500 a year.
Nothing can be more delightful than the
commanding situation of this capital of the
Australasian world. Its noble harbour, with
its hundred coves, capable OF containing all
the shipping in the world, its warehouses
and its quays, and the number of ships which
visit it, give to it the appearance and hustle
Of AN English seaport. 1t has two Episcopal
churches, two Methodist churches, and q
Roman Catholic church; an excellent mar
ket held three days in the week, in large
oblong square with commodious public stores
for the reception Of unsold goods; IN re-
turn for which, triiling dues are levied, a
mounting in the year 1917 to Els. and in 1872
to I575.
n chartered Ddnk is cSldullsllSu dl .of,i'
ney, which has shared dividends among tho
proprietors of from 10 to Is per cent, ane
there is also Savings Bank, instituted by
Governor Macquarie. They have the Aus
tralasian Magazine, the Australasian News
paper, and the Sidney Gazette. They have
also a Philosophical, an Agricultural, and
horticultural Society. Neither has the re
ligious and moral education OF the adults
nor of the children OF the poor been ne
elected. They have various schools fo
both sexes, supported from the public rev
enue of the colony: besides Sunday Schools
for the gratuitous instruction OF thepoor'
which the Methodists alone have five. at
tended by three or four hundred children
they have private seminaries for the NOR
opulent classes, two of which are kept b,
ciergymen Of the established church am
