1t was stated that three French gates would follow the
Phooue with troops insure the possession Of the island
The Sydney Herald says:
We have reason to believe that the immediate object
of the French Government is to establish penal settle

tension of French influence the Society Islands, the
Pomotou Group and the Marquesas this
sumes great Importance in political point of view and
indicative Of wecondered designs the part Of the

"In commercial point of view, the colonization OF
New Caledonia, by the French may appear first

consideration is entirely secondary in Importance, and
sinks into nsignfcance by the side Of the moral social
and political consequences attached the occupation OF
one Of the most splendid islands in the Pacific by rival

say opposite to those which have for many years been
earnestly contemplated by the intelligent coonists

Your notice. dear Miss, has Just met my eye,
And with your leave, brief answer I'll ryj
Like yourself, of single life WEAR.
I find II so lonely, and 80 dreary.
To any man you be a treasure,
Bur does your triH 10 your strength bear measure,
Your quoting Scripture is out Of season,
For cen nature teaches better reason
To multiply have no objection,
But to odd comes first in that connection:
Else we might find. much TO our veIation,
An error in our multiplication.
Your brief description charms my very soul,
Such parts must form a guise angelic whole;
Your ''sense, and virtue of the purest kind,
Are richest treasures 10 the genial mind;
Would you consent my lonely hours 70 bless,
With these content, and more, but never less;
Together we would spend our happy lives,
Nor dread the world, its anxious cares and strlfes
Now for myself IN sure hardly Know
am no widower, nor fop, nor beau;
No rake, no clown, nor tool mats ful or show;
These am not bur how shall say what
ss think what a husband Should be, am thatI';
As to beauty the ladies do not stare,
You well NAV think there's little beauty there:
Yet there il some; l am not quite fright,
For Indies often take a second sight;
Nor am burden'd much with cares Of wealth,
NV chief POSSESSIONS industry and health;
As 10 my virtue, believe il pure,
And. strengthening still, through life TO endure
And now, Thus much for the present must do,
The rest shall be told, but only to you.
