TAMTA--A Republic Proclaimed-Wep pub
lished on the 18th of April last, short memo
randum brought by the captain Of the schooner
lydia, of rebellion which had sprung up in
the Society Islands against the authority of
Queen Pomare. We find in the last number
of La Trait d. Union some farther particulars,
which, though not as late as our advlces direct,
fill up the skeleton report we had previously
received The inhabitants of Raatea--one of
the society group-have changed their form OF
government. Up to the present time they have
lived under the rule of Queen Pomare, but
they have just overturned her authority. She
had recently appointed one Of her sons gov
ernor of Raiatea.
Before the arrival Of their new governor the
inhabitants of that island, like those of the
Others that adjoined them, assembled appointed
n governor of their own choice for two years,
and constituted themselves into a republic of
confederate States-each island TO form a sep
arate State. The chief elected is half white,
who, it is said, does not lack ability, and knows
well how to please the islanders. The French
officers paw no attention to these changes. The
power Of Queen pomare being only nominal, it
is impossible for her TO compel her rebellious
subjects TO return TO their allegiance. She was
even on tho point of being abandoned by those
who had remained faithful 10 her, for they were
thinking of proclamng the same form OF gov
eminent as that adopted by their neighbots.-

AUsTRALIA--The late I dates from the South
Sens continue to present the most unparalleled
pictures of the gold fields of Australia. Socie
ty is utterly disorganized. Deserted villages
are all the vogue. Towns are abandoned for
the fields; houses for tents; the pursuits Of
ordinary life for the extraordinary pursuits of
the placer and the vein. Thus a correspondent
of q London paper writes from Melbourne
"The judges servants are all gone he has
put down his carriage, and lis sons clean the
knives and shoes this, | assure you, ia true
and wheel their afflicted father about in an in
valid chair. In this state he goes to his court
of day. TIE men from the gold fields are
rolling in gold, and so perfect reckless oft, that
the anecdotes tod of them are not only anus
ing but astonishing. One man put G5 note
between two pieces of bread, and butter, and
ate it up as sandwich. Another rolled two
Is notes into a small ball, and swallowed it as
pill. Another went into confectioners to
eat few tarts, put down G5 note, and would
not accept the change. They seem to have no
idea of the value of money. and take their
losses and robberes as complacen'ly az philoso
piers, merely remarking, well there is plenty
more This was the remark of man at the
bank when he had been robbed of cheque for
fl49, and which had been cashed before be
called about it,"
Another writer from the same place:
81 saw four men lifting scaman's chest into
a dray half an hour ago, almost too heavy for
their united strength. This chest contained the
product of six weeks labour, and contained at
least 200lbs. of gold The banks and the post.
office are working double hours; all other pub
lie departments are crippled for want of hands !;
male servants not to be had, even at extrav-
atant rates women are not much better
Marriages are now in high favor; almost all the
single men arrive from the dggings with gold
enough to maintain wife. SO far the abstrac.
ton of young women from service is desirable,
be the Inconvenience what it may; but there are
other channels for expenditure where profgacy
and RIGHTEOUSNESS are exhibited ona fearful
SCALE amid the riot of vast and reckless prodi
gai,y; enormous sums are squandered by the
dggers and their families Every Jack has his
Jill, and Jack has more money besides than his
master of the preceding month"
