INTERESTING FROM AUSTRALIA, ‘gome ACCOURT OF OPHIR NO. 2, ONE OF THE LATEST SYDNEY LETTERS. Our Sydney Correspondence. Sypvey, August 16, 1853. Situation of the City—Its Business Prospects— Public Buildings—The Exchange—Post Office —Hotels-—Theatre—-Negroes in Australia-— Drinking Houses—Neuspipers—American En terprise Needed in Australia—The Gold Fields, ete., ete. ‘Australia is the fifth, or as the late Sydney Smith has denominated it, the ‘‘ pick pocket quarter of the globe;” it is now growing rapidly in importance, not only in the estimation of its own denezans, but in that of the rest of mankind, Knowing the great in- terest that is felt at the present time in regard to it by your readers, I propose to give you for their benefit, some account of the sayings and doings of this rising people, and to keep you duly advised of all matters of interest transpiring here. This city, so far as regards location, has perhaps no superior on earth—it is situated on a bay of exquisite natural beauty, having on every side a fine depth of water to its very shores, with a harbor in extent sufficient to accommodate the commercial marine of the world. Bydney has within her grasp most of the elements to insure her speedily becoming a great city; her geographical position, noble harbor, delightful climate, large capital, extensive stone quarries at her very door, her immense back country now rapidly being peopled by the Anglo- Saxon race, her increasing foreign commerce, and the inexhaustible treasures of her adjacent gola fields—all combine to point out her destiny, and tel the story of her future grandeur. It needs no pro- phetic eye to see that ere long she will be entitled to the appellation of “Queen of the Southern Ocean.” Business, to an American, seems to be conducted in a slow and limping manner; yet the aggregate is large, for few of our extensive?merchants}can call ther profits for the last year less than from £15,000 to $20,000. No horse power nor steam engines are called in requisition in the discharge of cargoes; manual labor alone does the work, and I have known im San Francisco a clipper of the first class arrive, discharge, clear, and be on her voyage in a less space of time than is required here for one of half her size to give delivery of cargo. I have seen nine men hoisting a single barrel of flour into the second story of a warehouse. This tells a tale of inertness, and reflects upon the character of a commercial people. Another instance of the want of Yankee go-ahead- itiveness manifests itself in the fact that although rents have increased enormously, and a great want of comfortable accommodations, both for residences and business purposes exists, very few buildings are now being erected to meet the increasing demand. The only excuse given is, high price of labor and mate- riais, both of which, if employed at their present max- imum, would give an immediate interest of twenty ‘to twenty-five per cent per annum on the investment. The capitalist, thinking the laborer not worthy of his hire, wants to reap for himself all the benefits arising out of the new regime; but the lowly me- chanic and the man of toil begin to see and feel that they too are human beings,entitled to something more then a mere beggarly existence; have taken the mat- ter into their own hands, compelling the rich proud man to bend to their demands, and with the coming pring seagon a lively business in the building line willcommence. The houses here are generally of sandstone, on a field of which the city stands; but little taste is displayed in their style of architecture, and with few exceptions the city can boast of no handsome edifices either public or private. The Government House is, par excellence, the building of the colony. Its proportions and style are really beautiful, and in good taste throughout. It stands in the midst of a lawn, overlooking the magnificent harbor, adjoining which are the govern- ment domain and the far-famed botanical gardens, [Serial even now in the midst of oor winter, with jooming flowers, aud shrabs, and plants, from every | othe e known world, whe the eye of the visiter not to be surpasse even in Europe or America.

The building stands m Circular Quay, is ample and conveniment in its ngements for business purposes, and is surmount- led by the “Royal Arms.” There isan abundant supply of churches in the arket for the Piteglp demand; many, however, are iin an unfinished state, some having one side ot elabor- ly carved stone, the other of a boarded wall. The jedral (Episcopal) which was commenced more han twenty oes since on a grand scale, stands now n a half finished and a roofless condition, quite a re flection on the religious character of the wealthy Recently there has been a espe! ie people, seconded by the in- ence of the Bishops of New Zealand and New Cas- ‘Je, to raise funds for its completion; they have suc- teeded, and ere long the church will have a roof,and the new Bishop a covering for his head.

My future communi mn will not be so troublesome; there is one subject, however, that in by a fine breeze. We expect to cross the line in about a week. This being the last nigh! of the old year, some of the boys intend to get upa spree; as I now sit in the cabin, I can hear the sound of merriment from the deck; but another squall, accompanied with rain, tends all down below. The shower was light, aud in a shor: time all were again on deck. I also weut uo, but staid only a few minutes, and then went to bed.

What shout is that? “Sail aboy!” And now the rain, though falling in torrents, is for- pe, and all hasten to get a view of the approach- ig vessel. She is ing right down upon our bow, and it is evident the two ships will pass within a short distance of each other, and the anticipated pleasure of sending letters to friends and home is experienced by all who can claim those ties.

I added a few lines to the closing I must call your attention to, and ask the in- fluence of your journal, and through it that of the whole press. I allude tothe manner in which pas- eenger vessels are permitted to leave San Francisco on their long vo; to these colonies. I mean American vessels. Not one has arrived here with- out just cause of complaint from the passengers, fo the groseest negligence in fitting out, finding. &c. And in many cases the passengers have ar rived in an almost half-starved condition, and penoi less—having been compelled to spend their little al! atthe islands, or starve there. Nearly all vessels arriving here, of that class, come in bottomried for as much as they are worth. 1 have now one in hand with three distinct bottomries on her—mor than her value. This serves the owner right, but benefits not the poor passengers. The passengers, in these courts, have no redress against vessels under the stars and stripes. What e reflection it is upon that glorious , that such villanogs impositions are permitted under its sacred name! I enclose you prices current and review of markets, and will keep you advised by every direct transit. WooLLoomooLoo, Our Australian Correspondence. INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF A VOYAGE FROM NEW YORK TO MELBOURNE. Mexsourne, Aug. 1, 1853, The Departure and Subsequent Gale—Concert on Board—Christmas Day— Capture of Sharks—A Strange Sail— Weather at the Equator—Cress- ing the Line, and the Ceremonies Observed on That Occasion. As you desired me on leaving New York, to write to you a detailed account of my adventures and ex- periences in my voyage to and travels through the land of gold, I have thus far kept a daily recard of the scenes which I have witnessed aud acted in, and T intend continuing my diary, and extracting there’ from whatever I conceive to be of interest to you and tothe readers of the Hexaup. The following leg of my voyage will, I hope, partake of that character :— On Tuesday, the 14th of December, the ship Scargo left the harbor of New York with upwards of two hundred souls on board, bound for Port Philip. You have already been made aware of our detention in the bay the whole of that day, in consequence of a deficient cooking apparatus which had been put on board, and which it was necessary to replace with a betterone. The next day we made very little pro- gress. ‘The passengers, at least a great number of them, brought their muskets and revolvers on deck, and passed away the day in practising their aim at sea- gulls. There were some very excellent revolvers and rifles amongst them, and I am certain every man on board was armed with either, besides haviog dirks, stilettos, and knives, in every shape and size Thursday, the 16th, was another beautiful day, bu with the considerable drawback of there being a head wind, which sent us withia fifty miles of the coast ot Maine. pen! = nee coco Suruny up, and away 8} e Scargo at nine knots an hour, rt Y pointing fair to the land of promise, and before night cast her dark mantle over the waste of waters we had lost sight of land. That Thursday evening’s breeze freshened and freshened, and from Friday morning until Tuesday about the same hour in the morning, the Scargo careered before the blast | with bare poles, with merely as much canvas as was necessary to keep her steady. Friday, Satarday and Sunday we had some severe hail showers, render- ing our life on the ocean wave avything but pleasant. Saturday night the hatches of the second cabin were closed down. The storm that afternoon had reached its fiercest point, and the good ship shook in every timber as each succeeding wave, more terrible than its forerunner, appeared our path, and towering up straight as the mast, and ng, as it were, for & moment to collect its strength, broke with all its fury Epon her; but she stood it well. The gale biew favorably, and, not losing a mile by going out of ow course, we ran from Friday until Friday again at an average rate of nine knots an hour. An accident occurred on Saturday, during the gale, which for a time frightened us a little. Our captain—one of your sailor-like democratic captains, a Cape Cod Tan—went to assist at the wheel, (two men had been required to steer for a couple of days, and they lashed;) through some carelessness the wheel slipped out of their hands, and one of the handles, as the wheel turned rapicly round, struck him on the leg, under the knee, yenne up the flesh and causing a severe wound. It lackily did not strike him on the knee, or it would have shattered it to pieces. On Monday, the 20th, the reel was thrown out, and it was ascertained that we were then going at the rate of ten miles an hour, and steering east-southeast. This was a very pleasant, warm day; the sick had all recovered, and women and children for the first time appesred on the deck. On the poop-deck a concert was got up: there were a violin, @ clarionet, an aczordion, a flute, and about balf a dozen of capital singers; but soon four Italians appéared on the scene with their gui- tara, and I assure you that very soon the listeners to the violin, clarionet, &o., fell off aud gathered round the Italians. Their harmony was of the most choice description, and I never Bie a concert in Metro- politan Hall half as much asf did the concert that evening on the poop-deck of the Scargo. It wasthe | first time I ever heard the Marsellaise sung, and it delighted me. Tuurspay, 23d—in 35 14 north latitude, and | 42 49 east Icngitade—For the first time since we started, a sail appeared in sight, steering directly to- wards us. I saw her first about thirteen milesoif. I remained observing her until she passed us, which she did in about a quarter of an hour, or perhaps less ; the wind was too high to allow of any communica- assing between us. The strange sail wasa brig, bound, I believe, for Philadelphia. This was a very cold, wet, unpleasant day, disagreeable on deck and below. Saturpay, 25th, Christmas Day.—This morning T arose early and paid my usual visit to the wheel. I was pleased to find that we were steering E. 8. E., end going about eight knots; the moraing was most delightful, and the sun shone bright and warm. During the day it was exceeding hot, being in strange contrast to my Christmas experience of frost and snow. I luckily got hold of ‘ Master aan "s Clock,” and occupied iia in reading the Old Curiosity Shop, laughing at Dick Swiveller, and feeling for the noble |.ttle Nell in all her troubles, The ba assed off without any particular inci- dent. Dickens’ beantitul, soul touching language often brought my feelings bask to father and brothers —to the Christmas days of our boyhood, whea our feelings were young, and when I remember often shedding tears of joy on peholding our dear fatnor surrounded by alt his children. Those days are fled forever, and I could almost picture to myzelf his sit- tig alone on last Christmas day, and liken him to the deaf old gentleman that Master Humphrey found eating his Christmas dinner alone. As often as I have read the “Old Curiosity Shop” before, it never afforded me half the pieasure it did Christmas day. Sunpay, (St. Stephen's Day.)—What recollec- tions crowd upon me as! write the words! How many well-known forms, companions of our boyish sports, the mn wand of memory conjures up be- fore me, as if to draw me back in spirit to those times when the little town on the banks of the Eroe was our world, and when we cared for nothing be- yond it, and when St Stephen's day, above all days in the year, pee us the largest amount of boyish sp: rt! If my wishes could smooth the path of life for | our old playmates, I would meke itasmooth aud | pleasant way for them. ‘This moruing the thermome- ter at 8 o'clock was at 72. 1 forgot to observe the | thermometer any other part of the day, but the sun was very hot during the day. We had a sacred con- sert ou the poop deck all the forenoon. ‘he devout | had it a}l their own way, as the Italians did not dis- turb them. I have been told that the captain ob- served that we had reached about midway between New York and the line. Our voyage so fat has been most prosperous. About 9 o'clock A.M., a gnddéa sqaall strack over ne without doing any damage. The sun this mourning was exceedingly hot, tempered, however, ' letter I had written some time before, and hurried upon deck, having my letter rolled up in a sheet of Rewepene, together with a cabbage stalk, to enable me to throw it on the deck of the strange vessel, if she came near Copan! ‘and in the event of our cap- tain not sending a boat alongside. But to the mor- tification ot all, myself included, I found that no boat would be launched. nor was it possible to throw letters on board, as the strange ship was too distant. The captains communicated by 8) ing trumpets; the other ship proved tobe an English merchant- man from China, ninety days out, and bound for New York. Her captain promised to report in New York all well on board the Scargo. She carried the red ensign of England at her gaff, and as the two captains, with their apeelnie: bee ade waved an adieu, three hearty cheera were given for “ Old England” by the gold seekers of the Scargo, who for the most part hail from Canada, and are, indeed, awildcet. The weather for the remainder of the day was very fine, but our progress very slow. We dread the setting in of a calm, which may now be expected if we do not catch the 8. E. trade winds, which blow about this time in those latitudes. For the rest of the day the passengers brooded over their disappointment, and many a sorrowing glance was thrown across the horizon, where the Englishman was slowly fading from their sight. ‘When o'er the silent seas alone, For days and night ww’ve cherrless gone, Oh, they who’ve felt it, know how sweet Some sunny morn a sail to meet.”” Saturpay, 8th.—This morning broke clear and bright, and gave promise of a warn day, which indeed it pote to be; the heat would have peen insupportable were it not that it was tempered by the cool seabreezes. The thermometer at 12 o'clock stood in the shade at 82. This evening was spent by the esengers in dancing, which they kept up to a late ‘our; jout as there are no females to join them, it is rather an uninteresting affair. There are but three unmarried young women and three elderly on board. I slept this night, for the first time, on deck. Sunpay, 9th.—This was a very dark and gloomy morning; we had some excitement, however, for a time. A young shark was discovered early in the morning, following the ship. A large hook was im- mediately got out, aud a corresponding piece of pork put through it. Three or four feet of iron chain was attached to the hook, and a strong rope again to the cbain, which was thrown over the stern, and in less than a minute the shark was making love to it; he caught the bait, but bad not swallowed when the person pulled up; the shark was drawn a little out of the water, but immediately fell off. The bait was again lowered, and the shark, no wiser than before, but doubly voracious, swallowed it in a gulp; he was drawn on deck amid the shouts of the few who were up at that early hour. It was necessary to give him a wide berth, for his vain efforts to relieve himself from his captors were terrible; he was dragged for- ward, and in a few minutes from his capture he was gazed upon by every man, woman and child on rd. He measured about six feet, but was quite oung. In an hour after his death he was cooked, and distributed all over the ship, that the curious might eat, and have it to say they partook of a shark. lonDAY, 10th.—The warmest day we have yet ex- erienced; lassitude has seized on all; the children ave taken m of the deck from end to end; they never had so clear a berth before; shelter from the heat is sought in vain; not a piece of awning or cover overhead, from the bow to the stern; the man at the wheel has an umbrella strapped to his leg, which partially protects him. We are } g as im- movable as a log on the waters; the children’s noisy play is hushed; not a breath seems to stir the listless sails; not a ion of cloud in the blue sky; not a ripple on the \d sea. The deep repose of nature has infected the living mass on board, and the slightest sound disturbs not the monotony of the hour. On the evening of the next day, although atill some distance m the equator, the sailors re- solved to observe the ceremony usual on crossing the line—of shaving with an iron hoop, and using tar ia- instead of soap. All On the ship’s ks who had not before crossed the line—some half dozen of the pas- sengers—had reason to feel uncomfortable when this was known, tor they were marked out as Mority be the Dee subjects in the time honored custom, “more honored—in thei: estimation—in the breach than in the observance.” About 5 o'clock, P. M., I wevt forward and saw the preparations. On my re- turn aft] informed the deomed ones of what was Boing on forward. They were struck with terror; some hic themselves and some spoke warmly of resistance, at the same time trembling at every shout. One six foot and upwards chap, of the name of Muchall, was for ‘weeke aware of the honor intended him,and my report frightened the wits out of him; he sported a soli! moustache—nothing more—and this hirsute append- age was the dearer to him, as it flourished alone; he fel counsel of me, ets that I was in a like predicament with himself. advised immediate docking, and thus by anticipating the object of the intended ceremony, prevent it altogether; for it was a selection of moustached individuals tha Neptune proposed to operate on. In his terror he accepted my friendly suggestion, and down to the cabin, amid roars of laughter, I led my victim. By this time the sailors had commenced operations on the couks and waiters, and the cries and shouts of the Neptaneites and the noise and uproar of resistance added to his fears. In a short time, with the aid ot a pairof scissers and a rusty razor, the first we found, [ suc- ceeded in making him cut one of the most ridiculous figures I ever saw. All the time of the operation I mastered my inclination to laugh; but when [ got fairly through I ran upon deck to {odalge my ideas | of the ridiculous, in giving vent to my long suppress- ed Te eel in which I was loudly joined by all. | Muchall came on deck in a minute or two after, look- ing the very emis of a victim of a joke, and the sailors themselves joined in the laugh and annoyed him no farther. The tarring and shaving of the weiters snd cocks stil) weut on, for, as none of the passengers had any particular sympathy with them, the sailors;were encouraged to carry on the fan, which was near costing one of them pretty dear. A waiter,an Irishman named Taylor, stabbed a sailor twice before his knife was taken from him—the waiter had not room, luckily, to use it effectively, and the sailor was but slightly hurt. Another of the waiters escaped, aud sought protection from the captain, but it was unavailing; he was dragged along the decks to the forecastle, despite of his cries and struggles, where he soffered the torture. Having gone over the ship's hands, they came down to our cabin for a fellow of the name of Farrings worth, but he having expected them, was armed with a large dirk knite. Their object in threatening some of the passengers was to get brandy from them; but they failed in their object with Farringsworth, a fel- low heartily bated by every one in the first cabin. As the contest between him and the sailors got warm, he drew his knife, but in a moment half a dozen sail. ors’ knives were unsheathed and brandishing over his head; they did not, however, proceed to any extremi- ties with him. Had he been on deck they would cer- tainly have ducked him, but, with a few cuffs, they left lim. Norton was the next they determined to wait on; but be had already taken refuge in the captain's ca- bin; this they dare not enter, but they surrounded the door and commanded Norton to come forth to be shaved, cr else pay the fine due to Neptune on such occasions. In reply to this summons, Norton, a moroee, ill-tempered fellow, drew forth a pair of pis- tols which he began to load, and then placed before him on the table. The interior of the cabia can be seen from the outside, and the sailors haying witness- ed this exhibition of his temper, yelled forth ali sorts of execrations on him, in which they were joined by the b’hoys around them, and groans for “ paper Jack,” (a nickname of tft were again and again given. This uproar called forth the interfer. ence of the captain, who ordered the sailors forward; 80 they were forced to give up this contest likewise, without gaining their point, consoling themselves with yenting threats on Norton, which they would put in practice the first time that he should be caught heer the forecastle. Their raid, however, in other quarters was generally more successful, and the tars were jolly. Neptune, a little fellow of the name of Jones, undistinguished by any outward paraphernalia of his godship, led off his followers to his temple in the forecastle, aud having regaled them there, again came ou the quarter-deck, attended by a goodly train of followers. He was enveloped in a large mantle, fastened round the waist with a broad belt; he bad on his head a canvass bag, such as is used for lifting weter over the side of the ship, and he sarvied a handspike for a trident—a rather unclassical cos- LO tume on the whole, but it served to distinguish him on the occasion, and that was sufficient. He made a sbort speech, promised to treat all hands the next eveving, when he had collected his promised contri- butions, and then invited them to close the evening with a dance. A couple of fiddles were immediate. ly ic trim, and Neptuneand one of his mates, dressed in a woman's cloak and bonnet, to represent the Am- phitrite, led off the ball. I watched the proceedings , all through up to this moment, and then walked aft | to the stern. It was a most beautiful evening; there | was neither moon }.or stars in spread themselves along the evening sky, and with their golien tints lent a charm to the lovely twi- light, which lingered long over sea and air. the twilight gradually receded, occasional sheets of lightning would traverse the space in upper air, #0 instantaneously that they seemed as if stealing a march from the electric magazine in the west- ern horizon. These black clouds had been sometime collecting slowly and ominously, darkening the air and water un with their sombre shadows. These subtle avant cowriers were succeeded by flash after flash of Eahusing, 80 uoremittingly, and so bright and vivid, that the whole empyrean ap, as ae in a general conflagration. Nota breath of air stitred—the rea was still and motionless, the noise on deck ceased, and a'l looked on in wonder at this most beautiful phenomenon. It continued a con- siderable time; even after I stretched myself on deck for the night, I could not prevent myself from watch- ing each more slowly reccurring flash, until I fell asleep. I am afraid I have inflicted too long a letter on you; but, as the remainder of our voyage was prox ieee and devoid of any very interesting incidents, will content aie with saying that we arriv safely in Port Philip on the 20th of March. My next letters will contain sketches of life and manners in Australia. The Seotch View of the Cuba Question. {from the Glasgos Post, Oct. 16.) It is a very dangerous pastime for peoole who live in glass houses to throw stones, for they are almost sure to provoke a volley in retaliation; neither is it safe for us—meaning by “us,” the nation as repre- sented by our executive—to interfere in the way of censure with the foreign transactions of other go- verpments; for the truth is that there are so many black spots in our own dealit with strangers that an acute advet finds no difficulty in detecting some of these week points, and pointing his shafts against them. All the world knows, or may know, that at the time when Geveral Lopez, with a band of so-called rebels—we cali ‘hem rebels because they were taken and garrotted or shot; if they had done the same good turn to their adversaries, patriots would have been the word—was making his attempts upon the Island of Cuba, our government, along with that of Frauce, urgently pressed on the United States the propriety of the three powers entering into a treaty to guarantee Cuba to Spain in all time coming. This Bsopers was declined by the United States, end in reply to this declinature, Lord John Russell, who was our Foreign Secretary at the time, penned a dispatch, in which he and his frieods thought, no doubt, that there were some smart hits at Jonathan for his lawless annexing popenaitiee. Mr. Everett was then the American retary, although he has since lett office ; but, considering that he was bound to defend his own manitest against Lord John, although retired to a private station, be has issued a document over which it is very likely the Yankees are crowing as lustily as John’s backers did over his, In placing tke following quotations from it before oar readers, it will be understood that we mean neither to vindicate nor impugn the cunduct of tse American government in reference to the island of Cuba. Our main object is to hold upa icture of ourselves as drawn by an adversary, who fad no prejudices to flatter aud no resentments to be afraid of, and to show that if America entertains any intention of acquiring Cuba we are not the par- ties to throw stones at her. The first quotation draws a hypothetical para!lel betweea our policy in another instance, aud that which we were by impli- cation attributing to the States, from the force of which there is no setae “Tn order,” says Mr. Everett, “to establish for France and England an equal interest with the United States in the condition of Cuba, you say— ‘Great Britain is in possession, by treaty, of the island of Trinidad, which in the last century was a colovy of Boain.’ It is true that Spain was com- ellea by France to cede Trinidad to Great Britain yy the treaty of Amiens. If while this cession was in sgitation—as it was for some time—the United States and any other neutral power, (if there was apy other,) exerted themselves to defeat it, aud had invited you and France to bind yourselves by a perpetual SOAS never to acquire it, the interfer- ence, I apprehend, would have been regarded as worse than gratuitous. I cannot see why we have not as good a right to obtain, if we can, from Spain the voluntary cession of Cuba, as Ree had to accept the compulsory cession of Trinidad, which is by Raion and strength the Cuba of the Southeastern Antilles.” Neither can we. We have closed our mouths effectually against protesting that the States shall not acquire by the bucca- ‘uba in an honest way, neering, dishonest rapacity with whic! we have seized upon the possessions of other countries in every quarter of the globe. Our “ antecedents,” as Mr. Everett calls them, are wofully ae us, for the following tic quoque is as undeniable as it is ap- plicable : ‘ Consider, too, the recent antecedents of the powers that invite us to disable ourselves to the end of time from the acquisition in way of this natural apy patel Mr. Cobden’s ared with which the reasons assigned by wading Turkey are respectable.’ This is the “ie ie we ex} face of the worl territory which are lauded by statesmen in our Legis- lature, and for which, we lament to say, bishops and other holy ersons have been found to return thanks to the Almighty. It is a strange anomaly of our his- tory, that the wrongs of a Scotch lady in an Italian duchy, or even of two foreigners of whom we know ‘ing, are motive enough to summon public meet- ings and originate parliamentary discussions, while ae & topgue wags in defence of a plundered king- jom. Lord John Russell, in a sarcastic tone, had coun- selled the United States government to pay more respect to “those rules for the observance of inter- ational relations which for centuries have been known to Europe by the name of the law of nations;”” but how much better would he have beem to have steered clear of such a topic! for mark how the American statesman takes him in the rear, turns his own guns against him, and sends every word home with the force of a sledge er. “From the breaking out of the wars of the French revolution to the year 1812, the United States knew the law of nations oply as the victims of its systematic violation by the great maritime powers of Europe. One hundred millions, at least. of American property were swept from the seas un- der the British orders in council, and the French, contravention of the law of nations by the two pow- ers themeelves, each speaking of the measures of the other party. For our enormous losses under the British orders in council, we not only never received indemnification, but the sacrifices and sufferings of war were added to those spoliations on our com- merce and invasion of owr neutral rights which led to its declaration. These orders were at the time regarded by the Lansdownes, the Barings, the Brougbams, and the other enlightened statesmen of the school to wh’ch you belong, as a violation of right and justice, as well as soun polic nd within avery few years, the present distinguished Lord Chief Justice, placed by yourself at the head of the tribunals of England, has declared that “ the orders in Council were grievously unjust to neutrals, and it is now generally allowed that they were contrary to the law of nations and our own municipal law.” If we are not the better of having these plain truths, we ought to be; and in place bake ge brazen out the matter, it would be a much more hopeful symptom if we were to acknowledge and try toamend onr errors. Considering, too, that when wars do break out, nations, like individuals, who have em- barked in a quarrel, are yet apt to do things which they may afterward regret, we should by all means strive to feb on our Saintes we et. ting the upper hand of us, lest we should be led into temptation. A Coxvict Parpongp iy Missovrt.—William Trowbridge, formerly bookkeeper in the house of Me- Creery & Fssex, on Main street, received a full pardon frcm Governor Price on the 3d inst. He was released from the penitentiary on that day, and immediately took a downward bound boat, but got off at the town of St. Charles, and came throvgh to St. Louis in an omnibus, arriving here on Saturday. He was convicted ia April or May last, in the Criminal Court, of embezzling more, than $4,006 from his employera, and has served about seven months of his sentence. His mother, who resided in the western part of New York, came on to obtain his pardon, and has since striven so earnestly to accomplish it, that the Governor has at last yielded to her solicitations, She is now stopping at the Monroe House, on her return hone, Trowbridge went to jailon Saturday night, and asked permisrion to remain there until morning, which was granted.

In my fet were rinfontaed that e revolution was at an end, since which time the utm»et tranquillity has prevailed, and the future prospect of continued peace is good.

The yellow fever and black vomit continue to deci- mate the population of this and the neighboring provinces. It is now ten mouths since it first ap- peared, and its ravages have but little abated. The administration of government affairs by José Grego- reo Monagas meets the cordial approval of all in the republis save those few who, tor their thon. esty aud (sited violation of every sacred trust confided to them, have been disgraced by removal, and others more faithful and trusty appointed to sueceed them. It is those abv ve alladed to, and their confederates, who fomented the late disturbances, and sought to displace the faithful and honest executive who now presides over the destinies of the republic; and the miserable failure of their attempt at revolution is the best evidence that could be given that the people of Venezuela desired nochange. Appearances indicate that Jose Tadeo Monagas, the brother of the present incumbent, will be elected, by unanimous acclama- tion, President of the Republic for the next term. The Hon. J.

Miss Davenport is an artiste. The great charm of her acting is ber perfect repose while on the stage, and the certainty one feels that she is equal to what- ever she undertakes, She thocoughly weighs the effect of every passage, and its delivery is always perfect.” The Jowrnal says of ber Adrienne Le- couvreur:—‘‘We could find no fault with her formance, which appeared to be satisfactory to her audience, and was equally 80 to ue, who went deter- mired to be critical, for we had heard such uncom- mon praises of her performance that we meant to as- eure ourselves of the reality. The satisfaction of the audience was testified by their frequent and hearty applause. We learn that Miss Davenport's present engagement will be but ashort one, and we would advise all to see her as soon as possible, for those who have not witnessed her delightful performances | know not what is in store forthem.
