FRANCE . Paris . Saturday . — . ft is evident from Use turn the delate ' nave taken for the last tiro dijs in the Lsgislatf-e Assembly , thai the Conservative majority is oeterniiacd lo lie avenged on t ! i 3 President of the Repuniic , both for bis message lo the President of ' 2 se Assembly , aad the dismissal of the late cabinet . They support the e _ w ministry on all the great questions of stale , but oil all paints regarding the personal di gnity or wishes of the President , they show a deteminati-in to i * pay him lmmiiiation for humiliation . On Thursday , this petty war was carried on in llie shaiie of a motion that the Assembly
should henceforth attend no more public ceremonies , lest the Present should appear a greater man on these occasions than . any of tks representatives . Yesterday it was through ths ViccPresident ( M . Bonlay de la Maarfhe . ) that a hit was made at the bead of the state . It will be reme : abEr ? d that the salary of the Vice-President of the Republic was fixad h y the Constituent Assembly , at the sum of 43 . 000 frsiKS , with apartments in " the Palace of the Luxembourg . Tha apartments in question are not furniil ' . ed , and M . Boulay has conssq-emb ; never been able to take possession of them . An attempt was made in the Consihuent Assembly to have the
matter placed on a mare proper footing ; by giving an additional sum under the name of frafs de representation , but ths Republican membess of the Constituent Assembly refns- d . Tilings remained in thzl position ii : l now , when the Princa de 1- Mosfeowa , ft ) , de Flavigny . 3 d . Gavina , aud some other Bonspartists , sSetsrmined to bring forward a measure allowing the Vice-President 52 , 000 ? . as expenses of his household . The committee to which the bill was referred ( composed entirely of Conservatives ) reduced the iKonosed grant to 20 , 000 francs , and now the A scmblv , by a coalition of ultra-Conservatives , hsTg ? .- j < xitd tbe proposed nrant altogether .
1 ' aris , _ vsday . —The ' Moniiear' publishes a decree nominating General de Lahite Minister of Foreign . Affairs , in the place of 51 . de Uayneval ; and another , by which M . Darcy , prefect of the Rhone , is nominated Under-Secretary of State for the Department of the Interior . By the condemnation of the persons tried at VcrsalKs for the affair cf the 13 th of June , uo less than thirty s- ^ ats in tbe Legislative Assembly have become vacant ; and it is supposed that the Assembly , in the course of to-mono w , will issue orders for new elections . The following are the departments vacant , triib the names oi ths late members , ail of

French Cokbixatic-x Laws . —The question which occupied the Legislative Assembly en Saturday , aHic-iigh it appeared to interest ihe mcKIjers present wucb lets than the pueiile and personal squabbles of the previous two days , is one of very considerable importance . It was with respect to the combinations iaws , which , though long sine " : abolished in Englaud , are still iu full force in Prance , and that with even a greater amount of injesxice to the working man thau was tolerate : " among us even in the worst of times . The present s'ate of the combination laws in France is simply tlm : —By articles 414 , 415 , and 416 of the penal
code concerning coalitions , a donble difference is established between masters and their woikmana difference in the tkfinitiun of His offiinee , and on- ; ia the extent o : ths punishment . Article 414 only punishes masters when they ' uujistly and abusively ' combine far the purpose of lowering wages . Article 415 , which has reference to the coalition of workmen , does not mention the words unjustly and abusively . * Besides this , the coaiiiirn of workmen is subj-seted to a snore severe punishment than that of the masters . To suppress this unconstitutional distinction , sad to re-establish eq _ a . ty iu the relations of these two great classes , a proposition was brought forward by a great number oi' the membsrs cf the Lett who proposed the simple repeal of Articles
414 , 415 . and 416 of ths penal code , which would be equivalent to the repeal of the combination Jaws altogether , and a declaration that combination was no longer En offence . To thi 3 sweeping , but , as we in England ihink , just changp , the committee to which the proposition wss referred proposed a modification , which was on Friday supported , in the nams of the committee , by M . de Vaiimtsnil . By this plan tbe articles of ti : e penal codeweuld be retained , wlih the simple emission of the words 'un . justly and abusively' in art . 414 , the effect of which would be ta leave the combination laws in full force , but to place the masters aad workmen on an equality . A third plan was proposed by M . Morin , to the fffect thai combination should not be
conszaereu an offjiice on the part either of masters er workmen , excepting in ihe case of violence an < i intimidation b ; ing nscd for the purpose of cither raising or lowering wages . A fourth plan was brought forward by MM . Wolowski and Valett ? , which is simply the insertion of the words' unjustly and abusively , in article 415 , the effect of which \? ould be at tbe same time to place masters and workmen » a an equality , and to deehre that comlftmticns , > ither by the ens or the oilier , were not Sndictabk effaces , excepting in certain cases where injnstic-: and a ? iusc were proved .
The d : bit 3 of Saturday turned almost entirely on the plan proposed by il . Morin , by which * the liberty and legality of combination were proclaimed , aud the only mailer declared punishable was the use of threats and violence for the purpose of produring a rise or fall of wages . This plan was Strongly sujiporled by MM . Bastiat aud Le Beuve , and opposed by M . de Va'Jr aesnil ; but after a long discussion the proposition of M . . Morin was rejected by a maja . 'iiy of 393 to 203 votes . Towards the termination of the sitting M . Valette spoke at
considerable length in favour of the plan proposed by himself a :: d II . Wolowslci , and after a soon reply from M . Bazfi the debate was adjaumad till Monday , on the motion of M . Wolowski . The discussion will probably bs closed on Monday , and there is no doubt that the Assembly will reject the proposition of MM . Valette and Wolowski , as it has rejected all others which have for their object the total repeal of tbe combination laws . The fact is , that Praacs is yet a hundred years behind England on that and many other questions .

difficult for those who support King Ferdinand in ths British parliament and the British press to justify what is now going on in Naples . The most sincere fii-nd of despotism " must regret a policy which leads to republicanism , whilst the lovsr of justice and honesty will shudder at the violation of every law of civilisation . Arres ; s continue . Some thirty paid agents of the government are employed denouncing everyone suspected of constitutional opinions . Upon the testimony of one of these degraded scoundrels the ex-deputy Maya , who has printed his protest against any movement previous to the revolt of Mav 15 th , is under an order of
arrest as a revolutionist . Many oihers are in a similar position . Re ' galdi , the well-known poet , has actually fallen into the hands of the police without any accusation whatever . The deputies Posrio , Pica . Arossa , Barbaraze , Drasonetti , and Spaventa are victims of this system . Enough that they were supporters of the constitution , and faithful to the King ' s oath . That is the real crime ; but the agents of re-action will identify them with the revolt of the 15 ih of May . That the majority of
¦ hj deputies refused to take the oaths which the articles of February imposed is perfectly true , because the king himself abolished them by the decree of April ; and Ferdinand , profiting by this circumstance , organised the revolt through the instrumentality of Ruggicro an'l B : ZZ 2 ! li , who were appointed ministers on the 16 ih of May . The events of Europe have enabled the Camarilla to lake their revenge , and the best raen of the country are now the victims of a police which a demoralised country like Naples aion " . could produce .
Home , Nov . 10 . —The change in the French ministry appears to have dispelled every idea of the Pope ' s return , tbe timid camarilla at Ponica having again resolved to wait and see the turn of events in France before abandoning the hospitable shores of Naples . . Calandrelli , the skilful major of artillery , whose exertions in the defence of Rome was so destructive to the French , aud who accepted the office of triumvir after the resignation of Mazzini , has been recently imprisoned , having obstinately refused to
leave his native c : ty . How long he may have to remain in durance vile no one can say ; for the other prisoners , who , like Cernuschi , were arrested soon after the entry of the French , have spent four months already in prison , without being able to get judged or released . Cernuschi is generally considered to bs the victim of a vindictive feeling ork the part of General Oudinot , on account of the severe language with which he reprimanded the general ' s prevarications and deceitful proclamations on disembarking at Civiia Yecchia .
A pa « quinade , lately composed , purports to represeut the respective feelings of the Italian , French , and Span sh soldiers in the la'e war , in a suppositious conversation between three soldiers , one of each nation . 'We fought for liberty , ' cries the Roman , 'We marched , 'says the Spaniard , 'to get a little extra pay ; * 'And we , ' roars the Frenchman , in King Carabyses' vein , pour Vhonneur ! ' ' In fact , ' sums up the Roman , ' we all sought to obtain that which we had not . '
GERMANY . Letters frem Munich bring the information that the Countess liatthyany , the widow of the murdered Count Louis , had arrived there accompanied by Count Paul Francis Ziehy . They are about to proceed to the Bodensee . The Hanoverian Chamber has adopted a proposition fcr an amnesty towards all political and press offenders , by a large majority . The ministry advocated a less extensive amnesty .
A telegraph despatch from Berlin , dated the 18 ih inst ., states that in the sitting of the Council , ol Administratioa of the previous day the elections for the German Parliament were decreed to take place on the 31 st January . Erfurt has been definitively designated as the seat of the Parliament .
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . A newspaper , conducted by Count Fcsteties , and entitled' Morgen Post , ' has been suppressed by the authorities . The wsr contribution imposed on the Jews of Pesth aud Bada is not remitted , it seems , after all . After the order of General Haynan had been given out some'days back that these unhappy Israelites should furnish within forty-eight hours the second instalment of their fine , amounting to 200 , 000 florins , and twenty hostages were indicated , who wouid be \ vli strictly responsible for the discharge of this obligation ; a second official announcement followed , retracting the first order , as founded on a ' mistake , ' and substituting an amendment to the effect that of the total contribution imposed upon the Jess oi
Hungary , which amounted to two millions and a half of florins , not one penny would be remitud ; but that as it was ascertained that several Hebrew CTCinranities , like that of Buda , were unable to pay their quota , the whole fine should be divided among thetvhole of the Hungarian Jews in common , with the exception of those of Presburg and Tomeswar . On the 9 in iust . the Jews of Pesth were called upon to pay between fifty and sixty thousand florins without delay in silver . In vain the victims deprecatid the unreasonable aggravation of their lot by demanding metal , which cculd only be procured at an enormous agio , white the notes secured on the revenue o ! Hungary are obliged to be taken at all government cash-t . ffices . Of course General Haynan was deaf to such arguments .
The ' Pesther Zntung' brings a fresh hatch of nine court-martial sentences , four to death b \ powder and lead , ai : d the remainder to various term ' s from three to fifteen years of imprisonment , with hard labour in irons . The sentences to death were , in conformity with the late government order sent to Pesth . not executed , and commuted to fifteen years of imprisonment , with hard labour in irons . The offenders so senti-uced were three of them members ef a tribunal under the revolutionary government at Grosswarriein . Another of the prisoners is Thomas Bruno , a Franciscan monk from R . ime , aged fifty-two , wh . i was convicted of having armed himself with a musket , and joined the insurgents at the rising of the landsturm at Stuhlweissenburg .
A lady named Korosy , aged fifty-seven years , and mother of three children , has been tried by court-martial at Retteg , in Transylvania , for retaining in her possession two handsome fowling-pieces , that were left by her deceased husband six years ago , and condemned to three weeks' imprisonment in irons , sharpened by two days' fast in each week . Viekna , Nov . 14 . —Kolosay , who has just been apprehended at Pesth , for the part he took in the murder * of Count Lamberg , was examined by the (• olice authorities for several hours on the 10 th .
The prisoner is a Wallach of Transylvania . During six years he led a quiet obscure life in Pesth as a private teacher , giving lessons by the hour . Afterwards he retired ( o Hermannstadt . When the place of his concealment was discovered , by a love-letter signed with his name , and just a week before his arre . t , he provided himself with a false passport under the name of Donat , and came to Pestb , where he presented himself , according ; to the rule , in the pol-ce-omV . When arrested , he seemed , from his equipment , to be on the point of departure . During his examination he exhibited nerve and confidence
The remaining Hungarian officers , in-number thirty-six , who were confined in the New-buildiue . were transported to Arad on the 11 th inst .
TURKEY AND RUSSIA . ( Prom the' Morning Chronicle . ' ) Letters from Vienna of the 1 lth inst . have been received in London and at Paris , calculated to convey the supposition that a new complication had arisen m the extradition question between Russia and Turkey . We are enabled to state that this quf sturn may bs regarded as completely settled ; all that the Emperor insists uponand to which the Sultan
, is willing to comply , is the removal of tbe refugees into the interior of Asia Minor , or at all events from the [ rentier as dangerous to the peace of both countries . There is no truth in the rumour that rurkey mtends abandoning her sovereignty OVtr the Danubian principalities ; 1 he rumour arose S the mthdrawal of a portion of the Tarkish troops under Omer Pacha , the reason for which was to quell an insurrectionary movement in Bulgaria . the

sension arose from an error in the interpretation of ihe article of tiie treaty ; and as the error lias now ! 1 S 8 n lecoaitUed , the refugees of ^ Widtiin , the principal of whom lmve been at Chourala for some ( toys past , will be simply sent into the interior . I ' lie pacific intentions of tbe court of Austria are already known , and its definitive reply , which had to be concerted with the court of Russia , cannot he different from that of the cabinet of St . Petersburg . We may , therefore , consider the affair as terminated , and diplomatic relations between the Porte and the legations of Austria and Russia as renewed . This sojution , which satisfies all interests , will be received with joy liv everybody .
Constantinople , Nov . 5 . —Latif Effendi , secretary to Fuad Effendi , the Turkish envoy at St . Petersburg , arrived here on the 3 rd inst . He was the bearer of despatches from Fuad Effendi to the Turkish government , giving the details of the audience grained by the Emperor Nicholas to the envoy of the Porte . Fuad Effendi expressed himself pleased with the reception given him by his imperial majesty , and augurs , from the amicable tone in which he was addressed by the Czar , that the present difference between Turkey and Russia will be speedily sfitileii in a peaceable and satisfactory manner . Further tbau this , the long-expected audience had no other result , and Fuad Effendi had nothing but surmises , seemingly , however well founded , to send to his government .
Notwithstanding the news from Russia , the British fleet has entered the Dardanelles . The notes of M . de Titoff and Count Stunner , alluded to above , aud which are the result of instructions received by these ambassadors from their respective governments , at nearly the same time that Fuad Effetidt ' s despatches arrived at the Porte , giving an account of his friendly reception by the Czar , have greatly irritated the Turkish government . The grand council have met to consider these fresh demands of the Russian and . Austrian cabinets , and it is understood that the notes of M . de Titoff and Count Stunner J ' ave been met by a refusal . This question , therefore , continues to be complU cated , and the presence of the British fleet in the Dardanelles bas offered a new and very serious difficulty to its speedy arrangement .
General Aupick has instituted a subscription for the relief of tbe Hungarian and Polish refugees in Turkey . Sir Stratford Canning has joined in this good work , and a committee ha 3 been formed under the auspices of both ambassadors for its furtherance The Porte have given their authority to this charitable proceeding , and it is even said that the Sultan lias subscribed a large sum . The Russiaus , in their late negotiations with the Circassians for peace , have offered such terms as prove their great anxiety to have at disposal the troops engaged in the endless Caucasian campaigns , It is said that they consent to restore all the
iortresses except Suknm Italeh and Anapa , aud to acknowledge the independence of the Circassians if they will only grant-the raising of recruits for tbe Russian array in thf-ir territory , and acknowledge the Russian protectorate . The Circassians rejected these conditions , and sent deputies to the Turkish government to ask souasel and negotiate a strict alliance . " These deputies are the Sultan Gueray , thu three brothers Tury Uglou , and an envoy from Schamyl . The latter states that emissaries of Schamyl are scouring . Crim Tartary in every direction to pick up adherents , and prepare ihe Tartars to join them in prosecuting hostilities against the Russians .
EGYPT . A letter from Cairo , in the ' Journal de Con . stantinople , of the 29 ih ult ., states that perfeet tranquillity continued to prevail in all parts of Egypt . The annual oveiflow of the Nile had taken place , whereby the fertility of the land in the ensuing year is rendered certain . GREECE . It is stated in a letter from Athens , addressed to one of the Constantinople journals , that the Rus . sian government had sent a strongly . worded and even threatening note to that of Greece , complaining of the reception given to political refugees ,
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . ARRIVAL OF THE CONVICTS . We have received advices from the Cape down to the 21 st of September , from which we learn t !; at the Neptune had arrived at Simon ' s Bay with 282 convicts on board . The following account of her arrival is extracted from ihe Cape oi Good Hope' Shipping and Mercantile Gazette ' : — ' The Neptune ( which left Bermuda on April the 22 nd , and Psrnarntmco on August lllh , ) arrived in Simon ' s Bay about 6 p . m . on Wednesday last , with 282 convicts on board , seven having died at sea . At uinc her arrival was known in Cape Town , and
at half past twelve the same night the members ot the Anti-Convict Committee of Vigilance proceeded to Simon ' s Bay , to take such immediate precautions as the case might require . Early the next morning the alarm was given by the sounding of the gong at the Town-hull , and the tolling of bells in the churchrs . Though great excitement prevailed , the general feeling was evidently one of relief and satisfaction . No difference of opinion appeared to exist as to the necessity of employing instant and decisive measures to put an end to the suspense anil anxiety which have now prevailed for nearly three
months , and have been—as was justly remarked by a member of the association— ' disorganising everything , gormiment , society , and business of every kind . ' About eleven o ' clock a letter was sent to his Excellency by the Municipal Board of Cape Town , staling in plain terms , that as ' the people have determined that the convicts must not , can not , and shall not be landed , or be kept in any of the ports of this colony , ' the board trusted his Excellency , in accordance with his often expiessed desire to promote the well being of the colonists , would order the Neptune , after victualling , to leave our shorf s , and declaring that his Excellency would be
responsible for any consequences that might ensue from his refusal to accede to this request . At halfpast twelve a reply was received , informing the hoard that his Excellency would adhere to tbe determination which iie had previously announced , not io relieve the surgeon-superintendent . The ship would , therefore , ride at anchor in Simon ' s Bay until advices were received from the Home government , which would probably be within a month or six weeks . Ills Excellency concluded by regretting the tone of the board ' s letter , which the prevailing
excitement might excuse but could not justify . The reading of the letter was followed by groans and other expressions of disapprobation . " No further proceedings were immediately taken , as it was considered advisable to wait for tbe report of the committee at Simon ' s Bay . The excitement throughout the town continued to increase Many mercantile establishments were closed and business was generally suspended . The perfect union and fixed determination which exist leave no doubt that the peaceful and kga ! measutes which will be adopted will be crowned with complete success .
INDIA . ' Tbe news'by the overland mail is of secondary importance . The deplorable condition of Indian finance was the engrossing topic o { conversation at Bombay . ' For the last ten years , ! remarks the Bombay Times , ' we have been spending continually from three-fourths of a million to two millions and a half beyond our means . We have extinguished since 1838 a balance of nearly ten millions , converted a surplus of from half to a whole million into a deficit of double the amount , and got rid of an addition since made to our revenue of nearly two millions per annum . ' This gross
extravaga ncy is imputed by the ' Bombay Times' to the warble policy of the Home government . The Goyernor-General of India , had been for some time indisposed , and not having experienced much benefit from his trip toi the mountains , proposed visiting Bombay about the beginning of next year , with the view of taking a sea-voyaRe , if necessarv .

The head and hand of Sigr . or Arnaral , which the murderers had backed off , and carried with them , had been ' discovered ' by ' the Chinese authorities in Canton , and offered lo be delivered up to the Portugese , provided the three Chinese soldiers , captured at the barrier , gate , were surrendered . To this the Portugese would not agree , as the evidence to be given by these men was considered to bo oi importance . ¦
CANADA . Our Montreal dates are to the 3 rd of November . _ The Canadian ministers have taken up their ground strongly and unequivocally against annexation ; acting as wtll as speaking . All holders of office under it who have declared themselves annexationists are being displaced . Messrs . Rone and Johnson , members of the Lower Canada bar , and O . ueen's counsel , have been deprived of their silk gowns . A circular has been addressed by the adjutant-general of militia to all officers ( if any ) who have signed the annexation address and to state whether they signed it of their own free will , or under intimidation . The provincial secretary has instituted a similar inquiry respecting justices of the peace .
The Governor . General has come to an open collision with Mr . Gowan , Past Grand Master of the Orange Association in Canada , and the real head of the order alike when in and when out of office . Lord Elgin has erased Mr . Gowan's name from the list of justices of the peace , and has dismissed him from the militia in which he was a lieutenant-colonel . The reason for this step is understood to have been Mr . Gowan ' s participation in the Brookville meeting , at which among other outrages Lord Elgin was burned in Effigy .
M . Papineau has come out as an annexation ^ . M . Papineau , however seems to stand pretty much alone in Canada . The French are at present divided into two parties ; the men of the old school headed by the Seigneurs End the Roman Catholic clergy ; ' Young Canada , ' of which the most active members are young barristers . M . Papineau is said to belong to the latter , but 150 of ' Young Canada ' signed the Montreal anti-annexation address . The clergy and the Seigneurs are decidedly opposed to annexation .
There are increasing rumours of a dissolution of the House of Assembly . If they should prove true it is expected the elections will turn upon annexation' and . ' British connexion . The coolness with which the Americans have received tbe news of tbe annexation movement has thrown cold water upon it .
UNITED STATES AND MEXICO . New York , Nov . 6 th . —The arrival of the steamer with the astounding news of a large advance in the price of cotton has had a very curious effect on the public mind . To the public it was quite unexpected for we believe here that prices never suddenly advance in England on American produce without a panic or a sudden necessity . We suppose that all the cotton , we had to sell might have beea obtained at former rates , if the English dealers had acted in concert . A single paragraph in one of your leading journals , stating that there was a fair supply of cotton , or that some of your mills had stooped work
would have knocked the article down some fractions of a psnny . We now suppose that the knowledge of the state of our crops led to a fear of an unusually short supply , and that this induced the strongest buyers to obtain what they required without delay . I have taken some pains to-day to ascertain the condition of the present crop . It is very poor , and sadly deficient in quantity . The ravages of the worm have been dreadful ; and I am now prepared to say that cotton must advance in your markets , even on tbe present rates . Nor is this all . We imagine that we shall have again to furnish a large amount of provisions for the Irish during the approaching
winter . Among the other events of the day , is the rapid growth of cotton manufactories in the southern states . South Carolina is particularly turning her attention to the business , and this emulation of hers is akin to the political feeling of independence her people cherish with so much ardour . They are so opposed to the north in many , particulars , that if possible they would raise everything at home which they consume at home , and they are determined t ' aat if the northern states continue to assail slavery they shall no longer clothe their slaves ; at which the friends of xYmerican industry set up a broad grin , and inquire if South Carolina intends to become a tariff state !
An interesting attempt is now making in South Carolina by a gentleman , formerly well known in London ( Junius Smith , ) to cultivate the tea plant . He selected a place where the temperature was mild and equable , and has found his plants uncommonly promising . The black and green are now in full blossom , and in a few weeks he expects to make his first crop . He is perfectly sanguine of success , and of making the Southern States profitable competitors in the tea marts with China itself . He bas also succeeded in producing the almond . An important discovery has been made in the State of Missouri , which is hailed with much satisfaction . It is found that rice may be cultivated there with perfect success . This will be a material addition to the value of her staples .
Miss Bremer has been the object of much curiosity here . But the public enthusiasm has received a damper in the discovery that she is pretty well advanced in years , and is anything but handsome . At Ycia Cruz , a fatal disorder had broken out , called the boho , which was more dreader ! than the cholera . Mexico on the whole does not appear to be in o prosperous state . Its transitions are those of one exigency succeeding another , rather than the advances of a strong and clear political sagacity ,
Certainly its raillcniura is very far off . Private accounts justify these sentiments , They assure us that there is no longer any security for life or property in Mexico , that assassinations and robberies are frequent in broad day light . A hot war is carried on between 'IlSiglio , ' and 'El Monitor' on the subject of Santa Anna ' s return , while we are assured that the feeling of all classes except these who are in the enjoyment of power , is in favour Of annexation to the United States . Since the departure of the American troops , there has been no tranquillity .
CALIFORNIA Tim Pandora just arrived at Portsmouth , has brought home an immense variety of specimens of natural history for various museums , among them are two mammoth tusks , weighing nearly three hundred weight each , and obtained on the north west coast of America . Also , about £ 15 , 000 in gold from California , which was conveyed to the Bank of England . The ' dtggins' at California induced one man and a boy to run from the Pandora and it seems that the man , J . Coombs , had been very successful as he was speedil y in command , and owner of a very One schooner , in addition to two similar vessels he had purchased
PITCAIRN'S ISLAND , PACIFIC OCEAN . Letters from this colony have been brought by the Pandora , which contains some interesting details relative to the island , and the descendants of the unfortunate men connected with the mutiny of the Bounty , and from which we make the following extracts . ° •¦ Pi tcairn ' s Island , July , 1849—The number of inhabitants 149 - males seventy-five , females , seventy . four-of this number three are Englishone

During the last five years one-fifth of the population have been born , and only one has died a naturali death , one of lock-jaw , and a child burned to death . The inhabitants are occupied chiefly in cultivating the ground and carpentering ; several of the young men are good at cabinet work , and as blacksmiths . There are ei ght marriageable males and seven females at present unmarried . The soil is E ? ^ iSL P ^ J i ^ P ' . ° P ° rtiondecomnosed lavahe other rich ' 1 I

The animal and vegetable productions of the island goats , hogs , and poultry , yams , sweet and Irish potatoes , the api-root and tarro in small quantities .
Plaintains : pines , melons , oranges , bread fruit , suxar-canes , limes , and the vi , or Brazilian plum . The only grain is maize . The food of the inhabitants is chiefly yams and potatoes ; animal food two or three times a week . Fish are getting scarce ; Bed-clothes are generally manufactured by the females , from the ante , or paper mulberry . Wearing apparel is obtained from the whale ships , in exchange for vegetables , &c . Cotton cloth is much wanted . Blankets and woollen ai tides , and soap ,
very scarce . The average number of ships touching at the island annually is eight or nine , mostly Americans , and they always behave well . Last year there were seven ships , ten less than in 1847 ; the last vessel that touched there was an English brig , from New Zealaad , bound to California with emigrants , there being eight English women amongst tliem . ' On the 1 st day of each year a chief magis'rate and councillor are elected , all persons ( male and female ) over sixteen years of at / e are voters . The chief magistrate then chooses his counsellor or secretary . The duty of the magistrate is to convene meetings and luar cases ; it is then left to a jury of
live parsons , and if the decision is not satisfactory to hoth parties , they are allowed to appeal to the commander of her Majesty's ships of war , punishments are generally fines or labour . The inhabitants generally retire to rest early , and rise with the sun . From August to November they have plenty of employment , digging yams , also planting bananas , yams , and potatoes , weeding ground &c , and when not busily employed they generally meet in the morning , and if the weather is favoutable go fishing ; if not on Saturdays , they go out hunting for a Sunday ' s dinner . On the arrival of a ship off the island no one is allowed to go on board before the pilot , who always takes charge of the boats when landing , and provides for ihe captain wheu on shore , each family in rotation furnishing a pilot , or providing a substitute , who always expects a small remuneration for
his services . The females generally asnst in the cultivation of the ground , preparing thatch for the houses , &c , and , in fact , are more employed than the males : they are generally very strong , many of them being able to carry a barrel of potatoes down to the landing place , the path to which is very rugged and steep , and in the rainy season . very difficult to ascend or descend . Since 1831 there have been 16 deaths : 4 of them accidentally , 4 of fever , 1 a disease of the ear , 1 of the heart , 1 of cancer , 1 of consumption , 2 of influenza , 1 in childbirth , and I in infancy . The diseases most prevalent are asthma and catarrh , which prevail mostly among the females ; bilious attacks are frequent but slight , and easily give way to treatment . Influenza had visited the island during ths last seven years , and caused 2 deaths . '
