By the arrival yesterday af the Dutch bark Koning
WilIem, III, Capt. Menkman, 81 days from Sydney,
we have received colonial dates to March 20. Our
Sydney files have not come to hand, and we compile q
summary of the commercial news from papers fur
nished by Captain Hackfeld.
The HYlem III. is bound to San Francisco, having
on board some 800 sheep and a number of passen-
gers. When several hundred miles to the northward
of these islands, becoming short of water and hay,
they concluded to run for Oahu for supplies.
The papers contain but little of interest beyond
local matters. The gold mines continue to pour out
their treasures. The receipts at the Sydney Mint for
the week ending March 18th, amounted to some $500
ounces.
The American whaleship India, Capt. Rice,
belonging to Messrs. Williams s. Mitchell, arrived at
Sydney, March 9, from Honolulu, with a cargo of OIL
We note the following in relation to the mutineers
of the Junior.
THE Mur1NY ON BOARD THE eJuNIoR.."-Th
Wonga Wonga, which arrived from Melbourne
Yesterday, brought with her four more of the desert
ers from the American whale ship Junior, the re-
naming two being still at large. although there is
but little doubt they will be captured in a few days,
as the police in Victoria are upon their track. The
names of the four men who have arrived areJos.
Brook, seaman William Sampson. seaman ; Adam
Cannal, seaman William Herbert, seaman. They
were escorted to Sydney by Inspector Smith, of the
uItiDO tCSt AVhSN3
the Water Police Court yesterday, and remanded un-
til Monday next. They draw a frightful picture of
the suferings and pr%ivations they endured after
landing on the Port Philip coast. They state that
they were for several days lost in the apparently in
terminable mazes of a dense a-tree or MALE scrub.
and unable to procure a morsel of food or a drop of
water. Suffering acutely from the intense heat. and
with no other sustenance than a few roots, they sue
ceeded at length in regaining the coast, which they
tracked up for a great distance, until they were for
tunate enough to find water. Having refreshed
themselves, they pursued their journey, and after un-
dergoing a second series of hardships, arrived in
Gipps Land District. The particulars of their appre-
hension and subsequent deportation to Melbourne
and Sydney, have been published in a previous IS
sue-Sydney Empire. March 6.
From the report of the subsequent trial we clip the
following
The course which the Bench intended to pursue,
would be to commit the prisoners to clearinghouse

be obtained, to enable the authorities to dap patch
them for trial to some port in the United States.

the scene of the new gold discoveries ON Puget
Sound has been peopled. 1t probably now con-
tains a population of several thousands of adven-
turers, who though they may not all remain there
will only aid in redeeming a fertile but heretofore
waste territory, and scatter over it the blessings
of civilization. Steam, in this case. is the active
agent in peopling this new field, and it will
continue to serve the wants of its teeming popu-
lation.
After witnessing the agency of this great
motive power in building up and scattering enter
prise through distant sections of our neighboring
territories, we cannot avoid urging again its in
PRODUCTION to develope our latent resources. We
do not, however, maintain that so great results
would follow here as are observable in other new
countries, for our natural advantages are not
backed up by any such mineral or agricultural
wealth or by so Industrious a population. But
we might as well assume the position first as last,
that we can make no material progress as a ma
ton in our agriculture, manufactures or COM
merce, or even maintain our present position,
without the immediate introduction of inter-
island steam communication. With our present
facilities our business men will not travel them
selves, except under the direst necessity. Stran-
gers will not visit us to see our wonderful
volcanic curiosities, except here and there a solita-
nv straggler-while outer districts of our group
are, for all practical purposes, farther removed
from us than California. But we need not go
over and rehearse the advantages of steam which
everybody knows. All we wish is to urge the
Importance of introducing it Immediately. If
the government are willing to undertake it, it is
all very well. Two years ago the Legislature
voted the liberal sum of $50, 900 for this same
purpose ; but if we are not misinformed, we are
no nearer the issue to-day than we were the day
that sum was voted. Had the matter been under
taken with any determination of purpose, we
doubt not that the whistle of at least one steamer
would now be daily heard in our island ports,
squirting trade and travel among them. We hope
the Legislature will do one of two things-either
vote the same sum that was appropriated the last
session, and order a competent agent to proceed
Immediately and procure the best vessel that can
be had or else stop the appropriation altogether
and declare inter-island steam navigation, with
such privileges as they may choose to grant, open
to any person or persons who may be willing to
undertake it.. We have no doubt that parties
are ready to place steamers on, if the government
give notice of its intention to abandon the enter
prise. But still we hold that government, having
taken the subject in hand, ought to execute it as
soon as possible.

"THERE is an old Arabian tale,'' says a CO.
temporary, I. in which three young princes are
represented as having obtained possession of
three implements. the works of the genii. which
were esteemed the most wonderful of which man
had vet heard. There was a small telescope,
which could assist the sight of the observer to
penetrate thousands of miles from the spot on
which he stood. There was a carpet, which
transported any one who took his station upon it,
swift as a wish, to any place TO which he desired
to 60. There was an apple, which healed all
diseases, if the patient but inhaled the fragrance
of its sunny rind. Such were the subjects of the
tales with which the Arabssoothed the monotony
of their midnight en~campments, and which the
Indian story-teller related to his swarthy audience
under the arch of the city gate, in the short twi-
lights of the East. The imaginations of the most
imaginative races had been taxed to their utmost
stretch to conceive what miracles could be per-
formed if the supernatural powers might be made
favorable to man, and such were the results
Science, in these modern times, and human rea-
son, acting, as we believe, under the immediate
guidance of Providence, have outstripped these
fanciful legends of the Eastern world, in the in
PRODUCTION and application of steam and electric
ity as agents to subserve the interests of man in
spreading over the earth and in developing the
wealth and power which the Creator has hidden
in it for his use.
With .lothing were we more forcibly impressed,
during our short stay in California, than with
the almost superhuman power of steam as an
agent of ouiHzation, proving itself more potent
in its results than the implements in the Arabian
tale. 1t is true that in Europe and in the
older American States, a traveller sees every
where evidences of the aid which this power fur
nishes to man, not only in accelerated travel, but
in everything in which power is sought for.
But there, where civilization is a fact, its power
is not so observable as in a new country. In San
Francisco, and especially in the interior sections
of the State, we see changes, wrought sin a day,
which can only be attributed to its agency-the
population increasing at an unheard of ratio
towns laid out in the wild woods or plains, and
built up as if by the spell of an enehantress-grain
farms, vegetable gardens, and Fruit groves irri-
gated by steam power, which, though expensive,
is found to pay well,-and all the distant sections
of the country brought into comparative contig-
nifty mainly by steam. We do not intend to say
that all this progress is due to steam alone, but
that it is the principal agent, and that without
steamboats, and steamships, by whose aid distance
and time APE shortened. California would not
poses half the wealth, nor perhaps half the pop
Nation which ten years have given her.
Not less noticeable is the rapidity with which
