Married and gfven IN n6arriage.

| An Australia correspondent of the Alta Cali
forn;a gives quite an interesting account of the
British convict system in Van Dieman's LsndI and
thus describes the marrying mania which exist
among the convicts who are out at service and the
reason therefore. He writes:
But the only care of the Government seems to
be 10 get these people of their hands fast as pos
sible, and another method has now been hit upon
in finding ready market for Thousands of the con-
yicts, and thereby relieving the Exchequer of the
expense of maintaining them; and presume the
man that first devised it was made Baronet by the
British Government. II is neither more nor less
than encouraging, between the convicts and the
free portion of the inhabitants, matrimonial al
liAnces." In these, young ladies Alliance them
selves to old men and young men marry old wo-
men. l will explain. A female convict, by be-
coming the spouse Of freeman, is entitled to all
the rights and privileges of a free woman. As long
as she keeps with her husband, the bonds of ma
trmony the only bonds to which she Is subject.
The same with a male convict. By marrying a
free woman; he becomes, by virtue of his office as
"husband," as free as the Governor himself, as
long he conducts himself 10 the satisfaction Of
his better half. The consequence Of this clever
stroke policy is that marriages of this description
are continually coming of with wonderful Tapidity.
Any old man can get, in this accommodating coun-
Try, as young lady for his wife he peases; that
is, if he is not oyeI scrupulous as to her past cha
racter, which is never in Van Dieman's Land, by
the bye, taken into consideration. He has many
hundred to choose from, not one of whom will
spurn his offer. So anxious are they to escape
from Government, that question whether one OF
them could be found who refuse her hand even
To Old Nick himself. And on the other side, any
Australian lady verging fifty can be supplied, II
she require it. with as youthful husband as her
heart can desire. there are before her men of
every age and condition to select partner from
parsons, doctorS, clerks, tradeSmen and laborerS
few will hesitate moment when she breaches
the subject. The vast majority, to get out of Gov
eminent power would marry the Witch Endor her
self if that would accomplish it.

A'DEMocRArrc' SrA7E.-The Democratic State
of Arkansas is in beautiful predicament;c
ly Lankpupt, without credit, without banks and
without internal improvements, 10 account for its
indebtedness, or realize the means of paying it,
Governor Roam, in his last message, presents the
following woful picture of Democratic policy:
awe owe a debt OF more than S2,000,O 900; upon
which we are not paying dollar of the accruIng
interest, nor will our revenues enable us to do so.
Under this system, virtual reputation is upon US
with all its train OF odious and disastrous conse-
quences. An auansepent can be made with q
majority of ou- creditors, by which our bonds car
be taken up at less perhaps, than their value, pro-
yide6 the State will issue to them new bonds, paya
BILE at some future period, and provide for the in
terest thereon And in addition to this, the pres
ent bondholders will, on like security, make fur
Their advances to the State OF half million OF
more, to be applied to works Of internal improve
ment, calculated to develope the resources Of the
State.
