SOUTH AUsTRALIA.-By late arrival from South
Australia we have received Adelaide newspapers of
the I'd OF August, by which we learn that tract of
country has been discovered within the boundaries
OF the province not less than ninety miles in length
by thirty miles across, stretching the western
bank oil the Glenelg, and extending eastward far
as hivoh Bay. Mount Gambler and Mount Schank,
which are both situated in this neighbornood, are
found to be extinct volcanoes; Mount Schank having
fve crateTs, each of which is filled with pure fresh
waier,and about three quarters of mile in diameter,
with perpendicular Cliffs at the height of about 200
teetirom the waters edge. About ten miles from
Mount Schank there is good harbor, which, the
dlscoverer says Unjust eventually be the shipping
place for the exports of Australia Felix 4" The
whole of this tract of country is said to resemble
"nooleman's park on large scae.''
DISTRESS OF THE WELSH FARMERs.-The farmers
In the county of Caermarthen, and in the adjoining
counties OF Pembroke and Cardigan, are in dread
fully distressed state and we have been assured by
several that they can scarcely get 81 los for The
description of cattle which last year would have
fetched - Several instances of this sort have oc-
Cured and we are enabled further to state that in
consequence OF the almost total absence of ready
money amongst numbers of the farmers the shop.
Keepers are complaining sadly and trade lie affected
Emlyn. almost entirely supported by the neighbor-
ing farmers is one of the chief sufferers by this
dearh OF cash, in consequence of the reduction in
the value OF the stock.-Ihe Weshmam
The GREAT NORTHERN SrEAMER.-Tbis extraor-
binary steamer, now in the East India Docks is the
object OF general establishment. Her amazing
length, breadth, and depth exceeds we believe the
dimensions OF any steam vessel ever in existence
She was built at Londonderry, and is a remarkable
monument OF marine architecture. She is propelled
by the Archlmedlan screw, which works on each
side the rudder, and is turned by an engine of 36O
HORSEPOWER No paddles are required, and, but for
the tunnel which Is seen amldships, she might pass
Tor square ngged ship OF the larger class She has
three masts, with lower and upper yards and is rig
ged in every respect like frigate or sloop of war
The following are her dimensions Length from
the faffrail TO the stem. 247 feet breadth of BEAM
81 feet depth from the gangway 10 the keel, 80
feet. On her passage from Londonderry she ran
upon the average, l3f knots, without the engine,
which can be spared or used, as circumstances may
require. When il was necessary to put on the en-
Sine she ran nine knots, head TO wind. The space
tor stowaze Is most capaclous. Standing aft, and
looking forward on the orop deck, the distance
seems immense, exceeding indeed the length of
the largest irst-rate in the navy. With all this room
there is at present want OF arrangement for cabins;
but we understand she will be fitted up the best
style With respect TO her external appearance, the
vessel seems huge monster steamer, but pleasing
In her mould and trim. A beautiful female figure
is placed over the cutwater, and her richly de-
corated with carving, gold, and color. In conse-
quence OF the heavy masts, yards, and rigging she
will require immense quantity of ballast Al pre-
sent II s not decided whether she to run to and
from Ireland, or be employed on any other service
WHERE is GAIT. SHENLEY LATE EIopEuENT
Captain Sheney, who some short since eloped with
a young lady OF Is years of age from the United
States and which affair at the time caused conside-
rable excitement In America, from the circumstances
attending 1t, and notice of which appeared in the
London journals, is at present residing at Surinam,
where he fills the office OF Judge of Her Majestys
Slave Commission Court; but intends to return, as
i'll health OF his lady, and will then take the oppor-
tunlty TO sedeavor to bring about an amlcable re-
conciiatioS between himself and Mrs shenley's
y about d DO nea af
ling, and consists OF real estate In Pittsburg-no
small fortune tor this gallant son of Mars to storm
and capture II is bequeathed to her under the will
OF her grandl alher, the late General O'Hara The
PENNSYLVANIA Legislature passed an act setting aside
this legacy and giving the revenues TO the trustees
but 1t may be supposed that such law is null and
Nolu, anu Vi no effect IN court OF law and equity.
1t is most probable, if the law thus passed be cor.
recty represented, that the ladys ultimate right to
the property fully conceded, and only prevents her
claiming it until she becomes of age AT the time
OF her eopement she resided at Mrs Inglis's Sc
minary at Staten Island. Captain Shenley, imme-
diately after his nuptials came to England, and was
with his lady presented TO Her Majesty on his ap-
poiniment. He has been twice widower having
married first the niece of Lord Fife, and secondly
the second daughter of Sir w. Pole, Bart.-Gtbe.

night. MIR. Henry RusseI, the celebrated American
composer and singer, gave musical entertainment
at the Assembly rooms, in Great George street. to a
numerous and ashI )nable auditory. Mr. Russell
sung several OF his own very fine compositions with
great taste and expression, alternating from the
grave 10 the gay with pleasing facility; at one time
moving his hearers to laughter by his humor and
vivacty, aud anon calling forth tears by his pathos
and feeling. Some of his nieces are al once novel
