From AUsTRAL1A.-The growing importance
of this young colony may be judged of by the fol-
lowing items
1t appears that IN the year ending June, 1850,
"a vessels sailed for Great Britain from South
Australia, their total tonnage amounting to 10, 267
and their total cargoes consisted of ID O52 bales OF
wool 1867 bags of wheat, 9l0 bags and 10 bar
res -four, $3.50 tons of copper ore, 277 tons five
cwt. two qrs. i pounds of smelted "copper" 70 tons
of lead ore, Glib casks of taow, and quantity of
miscellaneous goods"
Its mining wealth is exhibited in prospect by the
following extract:
The Mining Journal directs attention to the
fact that there are in Australia about thirty known
deposits of copper and silver lead ores acquired by
the colonists, which, owing to deficiency of capt
tai, cannot be worked, and which, of course, lie
dormant for the absolute want of means to reach
treasures they assuredly contain"

proud not only of the deeds, but of the physique oil

The STEAMER GEoRGETowN.-Th Louisville
Courier of the 2Sth notices another magnificent
boat for the New Orleans and Louisville trade.
The Georgetown says the Courier is of the largest
size, having much and as ample accom-
modations any packet in the trade. The model
OF the Georgetown is the most perfect and beauti-
full and at the same time as substantial as that Of
any boat in the west She is intended exclusively
as New Orleans packet, and she can accommo-
date one hundred passengers in the cabin with
staterooms The hull of the Georgetown was
built by the late James Murray, who had no supe-
rior, and this was his last and best effort. The
extreme length is 265 feet breath of beam 80 feet
depth of hold 1-2 feet. She has four boilers
forty inches in diamer, and twenty three feet in
length, and two engines with cylinders twenty -four
inches in diameter, and three feet stroke Her
water wheel is thirty-two feet in diameter, and her
draught light-only three feet. Her cabins, gem
eral outfit, and other appliances, are in excellent
style, and equal to any of the packets in the trade
The Georgetown will be commanded by Captain
Mcpherson. She was to have left Louisville for
this port on Sunday the goth.

Destructive GALE. The Eastern papers
come to us with accounts of destructive gale
which occurred on the 23d. The NewYor Herald
of the 2jth says;
" The storm which swept over this city on Mon
day, has been OF almost unparalleled extent; and
though it was only wind here, producing results
not very disastrous yet in other parts of the con-
tlnent it was remarkably There was little
or no snow here but in places the snow
storm was of unexampled severity. From the
accounts received by telegraph, it appears the gale
extended as far as Washington South; Montreal.
North Halifax, East and Buffalo, West-thus
traversng a space OF one million square miles
1t is remarkable fact that notwithstanding the
severity OF the storm we received on the same
night, intelligence of its career from those points
so distant from NewYork and each other How
far it has extended beyond the area we have men
toned, we cannot, as yet, determine, but no doubt
1t will be found that it has spread itself over far
wider limits than these.
" The change in the temperature was very
remarkable. The thermometer on Monday morn.
ing at 81 degrees. Yesterday morning the
mercury stood at II. That, however, is not so low
as 1t was on the morning of the Goth December
last year, when there was similar Storm and the
same low tides, and the stoppage of the ierry
boats. The thermometer that occasion was al
nine. The severity OF the weather, however i.
more felt now than last year, from its coming on 81
suddenly after an unusually fine autumn"
We have not room to give particulars of destruc
ton by the gale,

Texas,

BY the arrival of the steamship Palmetto, Capt
Smith, we placed in possession of files of Texas
papers. We present the following as the result of
geanings:
FROM THE RIO GRANDE.-From the Western
Texan we learn that Lieuts. Smith and Mechler
with party of men under their command have
returned to that place, after absence of nearly
five months, during which time they were en-
ployed in examining the Rio Grande from Ca
MARCO to a point about one hundred miles above
the mouth of the Pecos. From Camargo to a
short distance above Laredo, the river be made
navigabe for several months during the year Tor
liuht dranght boats From that point to the termi-
milton of the party's explorations, the average
depth of the river did not exceed eight inches the
stream in many places being filled with large bould-
ers, and lodges OF rock stretching the entire
bed of the river each obstruction creating its water
fall to stop the march of civilization. The prva-
tons and labors of the party were great, the men
being engaged for days in succession in dragging
| their boats along the shadows, and at other times
in carrying them around the various falls that in
errupted their in the bed Of the stream.
The distance by the river from Laredo to the point
where their labors terminated, is about $50 miles
| The result OF this examination OF the upper Rio
Grande agrees with the previous explorations OF
that portion OF the river 1t may be set down as a
fixed fact, that forty miles above Laredo is, and
will be in all coming time, the head of steamboat
navigation. Above that point, there is nothing in
tHe iiFcI W give Vi lOr a
lerent result.
The Houston Telegraph says:
"The effects of the late frost have been far more
disastrous 10 the suglr crop than we expected
The cane on several of the plantations on the Bra
EOS, San Bernard and Caney, was frozen even in
windows, so that scarcely one.third Of it was fit
to grind for sugar 1t is estimated that full one
third of the cropof sugar has been destroyed. All
the cane that was standing is entirely destroyed
and that that IN mattresses has Jared little bet.
ter 1t is said that there will be quite a scarcity
of cane for planting. The weather was so cold
that The San Bernard was frozen entirely over.
The steamer Colorado Ranger built expressly
for the Colorado river, has arrived at Matagorda
and at last accounts, her commander, with mum
Der of hands, were making arrangements TO gel
the steamer over the raft. The citizens on the
Colorado may expect to see the Ranger ploughing
ils waters on the first rise.
The late rains (says the Galveston Civilian
have restored the navigation of the rivers Brazo.
and Trinity completely. The Brazos boats art
now running to Washington, and the Jack Hay,
will to-day leave for the Trinity deeply freghlec
with valuable merchandise. Other boats will soor
follow and no further interruption of navigation
is expected the present season.

STREET INSTRUCTION. - For some nights past
views of the Heavens have been given, by means
of large telescope, on ST. Charles street, near the
Commercial Exchange. We had the qualification
last evening Of an excellent view of the planet
Saturn, with its rings and satellites. Views of
other planets of the Milky-way, of the Moon, etc.,
are also given. The telescope has great power and
accuracy. These views of the Heavens are not
only interesting, but instructive. A dime may be
spent much less protitaby. At the same place and
time may be had microscopic views of various
minute objects. In drop of Mississippi water, for
instance, under the effect of powerfully magni-
flying glass, may be seen much to excite wonder
and to suggest thought.

TITLED DANCING MAsrERs.-The Doors Of this
republic ought to feel themselves honored by
receiving lessons in the five steps, as we'll as
four kings, from the nobility Of Europe. Several
corn doctors haze patents of nobility, and we yet
hope to have our republican pug pulled by noble
barber, and we shall yet quote Ben Jonson:
llsay unto my cook There's gold,
Go forth, and be knight!''
We notice that old friend Capt. Gabriel de
Korponay, of Philadelphia, has been appointed Aid
to the Governor of Pennsylvania, with the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel. He is undoubtedly an Aus
TRAN nobleman--we will swear he is a gentleman,
judged by the standard of Col. Damas "Sir you
fence exceedingly well; you must be man of
honor. don't care jot whether you are prince;
but man who has carts and tierce at his finger
ends must be gentleman" Korponay is not only
an accomplished teacher of dancing, but gallant
| soldier.
