(Cheers.) Although forty years have now e:apsed since the occurrence tock place, my memory, I think, will serve me sufficiently correctly to state one fact im Mlustration of the kindly spirit in which our im- perative duties were carried out in that ship. In one of Our skirmishes on shore—it was in the Petuxant, I think —we captured some seven and twenty or thirty militi: men, were, of course, conveyed on board as pris mers, but were treated most kindly, as, indeed, were all who fell into our hands—and they were many. These poor fellows were not clad in the latest fashion, or the most ecmfortable babiliments of that day; por, from ‘their 4) nce, had they been fed upon such viands as we have partaken of at your hospitable tables this even- ing. utions of clothing were made for them by the officers and men, and they were kept on board for a few days, fattened up a little, and then restored to liver- ty and their sorrowing families aud friends, without, of Course, the arms of destruction in which they were taken.

And so the company weat on enjoying them- selves until the approach of midnight, when, in reverence to the Sabbath, they dispersed. The Rev. Dr. Hatfield on Money Making. The Rey. Dr. Hatviexp last evening delivered a sermon on the above subject, atthe Presbyterian church, corner of Broome and Ridge streets, to a very numerous eongre- gation. The roverend gentleman took his text from the Sth and 10th verses of the 6th chapter of the First Epistle to Timothy : “But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurt- ful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition- For the love of money is the root of all evil; which, while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.’’ It is not easy to speak acceptably, said he, from the pulpit, upon the pursuit of wealth, for we must necessarily come into collision with yeeentiog tastes, B airere and preju- dices, and our arguments will be heard with jealousy and distrust, and our motives, however pure benevolent, will be called in question. Ministers of the Gospel are seldom found, at least im this republican land, among the wealthier classes, and are therefore shut out, by the peculiar claims of their pro- fession, trom those occupations by which wealth may ordinarily be obtained. At the very commencement of their ministry the necessity is laid upon them to aban- don the very idea of devoting their lives to getting money. But whether seceptable or not their message must be de- livered, and they must exhibit the connection of money with man’s piritusl and eterval destiny and its influences upon his moral character. Every human being is sus- il t b, and it is a laudable de- dual and the well being of society. The de- sire of property in all civilized communities very natu- rally, s#sociates itself with the, possession of money or its ‘representative, and money is desired, loved, and sought for, not so much on its own account, as for what it can do through its possessor. Itis universally acknow- ledged as the representative of property, and may be, at apy time, converted into any species of property that is desired. It will procure food, raiment, furniture, orpameate, lands, and every thing for the purpose of rank influence and power, Therefore, money is desired an rought fur, aud becomes the great business of Nife—the ‘ sumnum bonum,’’ “the one thing needful,” “ the all in all,”’ and as current pirascology expresses it—" to do well and prosper,’ “to go along handsome,” “to be well of,” ‘money makes the man,” “many a mickle moukes a muc¥le,” “a ake saved is twopence clear.’’ In this country everybody wishes to make money, and we so instruct our children: and what wonder then we have become celebrated all the world over as the lovers of dollars and cents In no country on the earth, save perhaps England, is the desire to make money so deeply studied as here. In no one thing are young men so perfectly agrecd as in the desire to make money, for profusion is now the order of the day. In resolving to devote yourselves to the aequisition of wealth you cheat yourselves gut of heaven, You will become independent of your Maker himself. Dives, but for his wealth, might have found his place in Abraham’s borom; and Lazarus, but for his poverty, might have been sent to perdition. By wealth the soul is exposed to splen- dor and luxury, the soul is led blindfold to destruc- tion. Money getting becomes » man’s only passion whe once indulged in. Everything he touches must be con- verted into gold; and he sacrifices everything for the low ambition of being worth a certain sum oi money. Every gen- erous impulse is stitted, and bis heart becomes an iceberg. ‘The appeals of charity he believes are made only to de- fraud him. He hears with alarm the amounts given to benevolent societies, for that might have been put out to seven percent. He substitutes for the law of God his own interest, for he judges of everything by that standard. He learns and practises deceit—learns the art of chcat- ing, defrauding, aud all under cover of law. He ceases to be a true man, and acknowledges no law but that of covetousness. Such are some of the snares of mo- ney making, and et thie moment the world is filled with the agonizing cries of the victims and the vanquish- ed, alike victims of this men, how you sell your souls for gold, serve God and Muzumon.

Neither the price of flour has realised the expectations of speculators, and a small parcel arrived in the Chase ley, having been bought at Liverpool at 26s. per barrel, has been sold at 18s, in Sid: e market price is £18 per ton, equal to $9 for 200 Ib. bags of Chili. In consequence of the large immigration, laborers are plentiful, though at high prices. ‘The Empire containa little or nothing of importance; everything is going on well and in good order, and no dis- turbances in the mines are mentioned. The rate ut which the Australian colonies are progress- ing and are likely to progress is shown in a strking man- ner by some statements in a Sidney paper. The revent of the Australias for one quarter of s year, with less than 500,000 inhabitants, amounted to £812,000, giving for the fobr quarters of the year £3,248,000. ‘At the pre- sent rate of progression, it is estimated that the revenue for the now running louble above sum, or £6,400, 000, . INTERESTING LETTER FROM AUSTRALIA. ‘The following letter is from a compositor from this city, who left last summer for the golden land of Aus- tralia. Ite statements may be of service to those—and partieularly printers—who contemplate a journey to that far off land with the idea of bettering their condition:— Murwourns, Nov. 15, 1852. * * * % You are aware that we sailed from New York on the 3d of July. We arrived here on the 14th October, all in good health, only having had one death on the voyage. Six emigrant ships came up by the same tide, having altogether about 3,000 passengers, * * * Immediately upon landing I leoked out for a boarding- house, but met with no success, as every place was as full as it could be, and thousands of people were living in tents in and about the city. However, I wandered a mile or two out of town, and contrived to get into a shed atthe moderate rent of £2 2s. per week, * # * * ‘There are but two newspapers in the place, and two job. Ding offices. [The writer was lucky enough to get a situation on a daily Paper shortly after arriving, and Gaia ES - plese of oot iene in ah eee countable. ur paper pays 2s. 6d. per 1,000 ens, Ba, €d. per hour, or 26 per week ($30), T''can earn as many pounds here as I could dollars in New York. There is not another paper, however, that pays so high a price, and we bave to labor under ‘many We have no waterand no gas. There are quite as many compositors walking about the streets idle as there are em] Prat ‘Thousands of poor creatures land in this city with scarcely five dollars to blers themselves, and by the time they have had a few meals they are without a farthing. Nearly all my fellow passengers went to the diggings, and several have returned quite discouraged. They say those who are there are barely ir ex- penses, and that two things are indispensably necessary— capital and a proper knowledge of mining. I have re- ved letters from several parties at the mines; they all tell the same tale, and all are anxious to leave the dig- gings and follow’ other pursuits. There are,'no doub’ many opportunities in this city at present for a man of ca fal and en! , but one without either had better remain at home. Wages have been very good, but are now decreasing on account of the vast influx of people, and we are eapecerig or day to hear of our wages being low- ered. On the hand, provisions are the same rice now they were a month since. Bread is 2s. 6d. per yee | loaf; flour, £47 per ton; penton £15 per ton; eggs, 4d. and Gd. apiece: apples, 6d. per pound. I baye tasted nothing in the shape of vegetables, except potatoes, since I arrived in the colony; I heard that 5s. was asked for a eabbage. Ale and porter are 2s. per quart; beef and mutton 1s. per tb. Furniture is amazing- ly dear. The house I now live in is a small one of two rooms, on the ground floor, something similar to one of those Irish shanties in the suburbs of New York, for which my land- lord pays £2 104. per week. ‘There are scarcely a hun- dred respectable looking houses in the whole place. Building lots sell at the rate of £16 per foot in some parts of Melbourne. There seems to be idea A little colin this city, though there is plenty of capital, and plenty of labor in the market. There are no public works in oper- ation; no railroads, no canals, no telegraphs, to be found anywhere. Everybody says things cannot last long in this way—they must come toa crisis. Things are in the same tate at Sydney, Adelaide, and HobartTown. * * * The imate is not geod by any means; the changes of tem- jerature dre much more sudden, and more extreme, than those of New York. Melbourne is about the size of Newark, and the dirtiest place I ever set foot in. I would advise every one who has an idea of coming to this place to stay at home. There are ten chances, to one that he will do better in America than here. There are thourands of people in this country who are cursing the day they ever decided tocome to Australia. There are now about 100,600 people at the mines, and the escorts during the last four weeks, have not brought down any- thing near 60,000 ounces per week, on an Sadao ie P * Intelligence from Buenos Ayres. The ship Parana, Capt. Langston, arrived yesterday from Buenos Ayres, whence she sailed on the 24th of February. The United States ship Jamestown, Capt. Downing, was at Buenos Ayres—officers and crew all well. The British Packet of the 19th of February contains the following:— ANOTHER APPARENT REVERSE. The defeat of Colonel Rosas y Belgrano infused new life and vigor into the cause of the capital; and we are not without hopes that the sorry episode of tho steamer Merced may operate in the same way. Our present infor- wation is confined to the following offieial éocuments:— Buenos Ayres, Feb. 18, 1863. Tor ComMAnprR IN Cuter OF THE Naval.

It is, therefore, my opinion that the affair be treated without reserve, giving it publicity as carly as possible, in its true colors God preserve the Under fecrctary many years! FLORIANO ZUROWSKI. COPY OF THE INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN TO THE COMMANDER OF ‘THE STEAMER LA MERCED. ‘You will start with the yexsel under your command, as soon as possible, for Colonia, for the purpose of seizing two Argentine schooners, the names of which are un- kwown —the one an American hull, and the other of Bra- zilian build, formerly rigged as a pilot boat. You must conceal ay far as possible your departure, setting sail from this port during the present night, avail: ing yourself of your practical acquaintance with the banks, regulating your course so as always to keep in shallow water, to erve you a3 a defence in case of an un- expected attack by the enemy. Should you have to re- treat to Buenos Ayres, do not engage in a combat, except ino rafe and certain ease; and should you bring the prizes in tow, and be unable to saw them, kink them and endeavor to gain the benks for your safe return.

This change in likely to thwart the plans of Urquiza more than all the amicable media- tions talked of. Numberless reports have been in circulation as to the movements of the latter; but it appears that down to the 12th he had not moved from his Estancia of San Jose, and that his forces showed little disposition to obey’ his citation. ‘The operations of the siege during the week have beon confined to desultory guerillas. This the anniver- rary of the triumphal entry of the grand allied liberating army, something more formal was expected; bat, like the 24 of February, it has only served to show their im- potence.
