Marriage in Australia.

1t appears that the male and female con-
viets obtain certain privileges which wonder
fully promote mAtrimony. A correspondent
writes to the Alto California, from Van Die
mans Land:-"The only care of the Gov
ernment seems to be to get these people of
their hands as fast as possible, and another
method has been hitupon in finding ready
market for thousands Of convicts. and there
by relieving the Exchequer of the expense
OF maintaining them, and presume the man
that first devised it, was made baronet BY
the British Government. 1t is neither more
nor less than encouraging, between the con,
vlcts and the free portion OF the inhabitants,
matrimonial alliances In these, young
ladies alliance themselves 10 old men, an
young men marry old women. l will ex
plain. A female convict. by becoming the
spouse of free man, is entitled to all the
rights Of a free woman. AS lsng as she
keeps with her husband, the bonds of mat.
rim 1ny are the only bonds to which she i:
subject. The same with the male convict
BY marrying free woman, he becomes by
virtue Of his Office as "husbaud" as free as
the Governor himself, as long as he con,
ducts himself to the satisfaction Of his bet.
ter half
The consequence of this clever stroke o.
policy is, that marriages of this description
are continually coming off with wonderful
rapidity. Any old man can get, in this ac
commodating country, as young lady for
his wife as he please that is, if he is moi
over scrupulous to her past character, which
is never, in Van Deman's Land, by-the by,
taken into consideration. He has many
hundreds to chose 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
would refuse her hand to Old Nick himself.
And on the other hand, any Australian lady
verging upon tifty,can be supplied, if she re-
quire it, with as youthful ii husband as her
heart can desire. There are before her
men of every age and condition to select a
partner from parsons, doctors, clerks,
tradesmen and laborerS few will hesitate a
moment when she breaches the subject
The vast majority, to get out Of Government
power, would marry the Witch of Endor
herself, if that would accomplish it,"

Pickwick.
A Whig Paper ON a Whig Min
lister.

Greeley is trump. With all his non
sense, there isastreak of good sense in Gree
ley. His Tribune bolts it right out some
times The way he pitches into the new
iwhig minister, to England, Mr.. Ingersol, is
as follows:
Mr.. TNGERsoLL We wonder if we shall
ever again have live dplomatist to man
age our side ofthe controversy in any prac-
teal issue in which we may happen to be
invol 'ed. We have plenty of blatherskytes
ia and out of Congress who are very yalo-
rous when questions are at distance, but
we have mighty few men of the right mettle
who show a face of flint when it comes to the
final settlemant of them. Ourmode oftreat-
ing public questions of late years has been a
scandal and buresque. We backed square
down on the North Eastern Boundary
and let England have just what she
wanted We fumed and swore and turned
up our shirt sleeves and threw off our hat
on Oregon, and then skunk down to 40 de-
grees without whimper, In the settlement
of all our questions with England of late
years we have been wheedled complete Iy.
And it seems to us to have grown out of the
overweening desire of our diplomatists to
stand well with the British nobility and gem
try, and to please our own commercial and
money circles.
We have just seen new sample OF this
Uriah Heepsm in the late speech of Mr.. In
gersol! at the banquet given to him in Liv-
erpool. In the only practical question be-
tween us and England, namely Reciprocity
and the Fisheries, we fac Mr. Ingersoll full
of delightful concurrence with the British au-
thorities. His tone is, Anything you please,
"gentlemen, we wont have any difficulty,
Itjust name your wishes, and we won't be so
obstinate as not to grant them. We must
''be good neighbors. gentlemen, and havea
'periectand friendly agreement in all ching (,
$50 just speak out. and We'll concur. We
"know you are after reciprocity, all on one
"side, and that side is yours, but no matter,
gentleman, good temper, good dinner, and
"easy times, and no disputes are far better
''for elderly sik-stocking gentleman like
Lord Derby and myself, than vulgar con-
"troversy or plebeian disputes" 0aa
| We are sick Of this want Of brains, and
want of spirit. and want of true American
feeling among our Fogey diplomatists. We
think Mr.. Ingersoll has been in England
quite long enough. Let him pack up bis
duds and start. aa

The inaugural address Of Gov Wright is
a capital production. 1t is brief, but COM
prehensive, containing a just view of the
importance Of the rights and independence
of the States, and urging the importance of
ludiana's taking stand upon the great prin-
cip(es OF state legislation, state pride and
state ambition. Hesays of this state:--
"We have great work before us. We
have commenced new system under an
admirable constitution, and we can most
prottably employ our whole time in devel-
opinS our own resources and improving our
institutions. u
The common school system must be ma,
tured, and so arranged that it can be sus
tanned by the people, and made capable o.
furnishing the means Of instruction to every
child in each district of the state. The bur
dens Of the people by taxation must be
lightemed by the gradual reduction Of the
state debt. We must adopt an efficient sys.
tenn of agricultural and mechanicsl associa
tions, SO well calculated 10 make labor at.
tractive and to dcyaIope the energies of the
people in agriculture, commerce, and manu-
tactures. We must lay bare the iron, coal
marble, rock, soil and salt of the state by the
investigations Of skilful geologists, and thus
draw additional caprtal and labor within
our borders. All these objects demand oul
attention, and will repay US for our exer
tionS. 8Hl Az aag 8#

DREADFUF WARNING.-About two weeks
ago, we were introduced, in this city, to IL
young gentlemen named Bartlett, engaged in
the extensive importing jobbing house of
CIapp, Kent d Bcklep, Broadway, New
York. He was young man Of pleasing
address, and universally admired by tn ose
with whom he became acquantei but alas,
those ql.ilies--goodress of heart--unsus-
pecting sposition--ki indness--am biIity--
and attachment to his fellows, as is 200 often
the result, led to dissipation with
him at hore, with his N ind occupied in
his business, and for three or four days prior
to his departure for his home, with compan-
ions like himself, he gave himself up to the
mad destroying cup. On last Tuesday, we
bade him good bye, saying he must ''get
straight" before arriving home, as it would
almost brake his fail e"s heart to know how
he had been acting. Yesterday we heard
of him; he had reached EImyra, still contin-
uing to drink deep, when he W as attacked
with mania potu, and during its paroxysms,
cut his throat, killing himself Instantly
What a lesson to all young men, particularly
those with whom he wqs especially associa-
ted, during his spree. May they take
warning, for snch habits must invaribly lead

must be blasted in many cases, as in this,

Death from want Of Slaep.

How long can one live without sleep?--.
This question we never have seen answered.
But an authentic communication has been
made to a British society whose field Of OPP
erations are in Asia, descriptive Of mode
OF punishment which is peculiar to the orig
mai code Of China. 1t appears from this
communication that Chinese merchant had
been convicted of numbering his wife, and
was sentenced to die by being totally de'@
prved of the privilege Of going to sleep
This singular and extremely painful mode
of quitting an earthly existence was carried
into execution at Annoy under the following
circumstances: The condemned was placed
in prison underth careof three police gdard So
who relieved each other every alternate
hour, and who prevented the prisoner from
sleeping fora single moment, night orday. y
He tbuslived for nineteen days without aeif- y
joying any sleep At thc END Of the eish-
teenth his sufferings were so cruel chat hs

blessed opportunity Of being strangufatta' Y

p Eg-It has been suggested that law
should be passed forthwith, declaring the
charter of every bank, which refuses to pay
its taxes, forfeited:
So says the Steubenville Union, and we
wovld like well to see the suggestion acted
upon. Every one of these institutions has
forfeited its charter by paying out the
paper of the banks ofother States 1t cer-
tanly looks well lor their myrmidon organs
to talk about violating contracts bah The
Repository; and other jackal sheets, never
imagined a bank could do wrong, much less
did. They imagine the dear people must
lie perfectly quiescent while being plunder-

chartered monopoles have their own way
