“ If lands are not bestowed on the inhabitants and new-comers with a generous hand, the society endure the evils of an old and over-peopled state, with the superadded inconveniences that belong to a wild country. ”

“ The intensitive jil, the meaning of which is accurately rendered by the English word verily, is, however, equally applicable to substantives, interjections, and all other parts of speech; as "kardo jil," one who is in the direct line to be married to another; "kana jil?" eh, verily?
In forming the principal tenses of the verbs, but few difficulties present themselves. The present tense differs in but few instances from the infinitive mood. The preterite is nearly always formed by the addition of ga to the present, whilst the participle present is formed by the addition of een. ”

“ By His Excellency's command, PETER BROWN, Colonial Secretary. THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN JOURNAL. SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1839. " Neither conscience nor taste will suffer me to fight one class or interest against another, for separate benefit, or to take the narrow ground of undeviating panegyric. " It was our intention to have offered some remarks upon the copious extracts we have made relating to Canada and Southern Australia, as they fully confirm the sentiments we have long entertained, in common with most men of experience, of the true policy to be adopted in the disposal of waste land. ”

“ If the acquisition of land, in whatever quantities, is made difficult or troublesome, or is subjected to any needless uncertainty or delay, applicants are irritated, settlement is hindered, and emigration lo the colony is discouraged, as emigration from it is promoted U very different methods of proceeding have effect in the same colon j', or in different parties of the same group of colonies, the object of some can scarcely fail to interfere with or counteract the operation of others ”

“ Monotonous and stagnant indeed must ever be the state of a people who are permanently condemned to such separation from each other. If, moreover, the land of anew country is so carelessly surveyed that the boundaries of property are incorrectly or inadequately defined, the government lays up a store of mischievous litigation for the people. Whatever delay takes place in perfecting the titles of individuals to lands alianatrd by the government, occasions equnl uncertainty and insecurity of property. ”

“ Many of them will no doubt be thriving settlers in ten years' time; but more (probably) will be a dissatisfied, ne'er do well class as long as they live. Mr. Dutton astonished the people of Adelaide by taking Mrs. Dutton with him to see his new purchase. Even the men at Adelaide (we speak generally of course) have a horror of " the bush."
As for the women, they think all who go ten miles out of the town will be murdeied by the blacks. Sydney Monitor, February 18. POUT PHILLIP. THE inhabitants of South Australia are indebted to our exertions for their seasonable supply of beef. ”

“ The population of Adelaide consists chiefly of Londoners; broken-down shop-men and tradesmen of habits, feelings, views, and knowledge, just the reverse of what are calculated to make them thriving colonists. Necessity, the mother of invention, and, we will add, change, if not reforma tion, will compel these people to go lo work in the country, in some shape or another. When they do so, they will be able to get a living ”

“ In this way settlement and emigration are discouraged, inasmuch as the people, both of the colony and of the mother-country, are deprived of all confidence in the permanency of any system, and any familiar acquaintance with any of the ¡temporary methods. It would be easy to cite many other examples of the influence of government in this matter. ”

“ This will be a subject for future remark. DISPOSAL OF PUBLIC LANDS-EMIGRATION. . "I have mentioned the peculiar importance which,in newly settled societies, is attached to the' works for crealing and improving the means of communication. But in such communities, and especially when only a small portion of the land has been occupied by settlers, there is a still more momentous subject of public concern. I allude to an operation tf government, which has a perma- nent influence over the happiness of individuals,* and the progress of society: towards wealth and greatness. ”

“ This termination of the participle present becomes, however, in some districts, ween. Example:—
Present, yugow (to stand.)
Preterite, yu-ga-ga.
Participle present, yu-gow-een.
There are three kinds of preterite tense, which relate respectively to a time just elapsed, to a time which has elapsed by a small interval, and to a time which has long since elapsed. These are distinguished by prefixing to the regular preterite the words go-ree (just now) , garum (a short time since) , and gorah (a long time ago.) ”

“ In the sister-colony the inhabitants have shown their superior ardour and talent during three years of occupation, discovering but now -¿fresh water river, distant forty five mile&l!! from the city of Adelaide. The settlers in Australia Felix have traversed and occupied a country extending upwards of five hundred miles in every direction, and in the space of eighteen months, commencing with Mr. Hawdon's departure, will have driven over to South Australia about ten thousand head of cattle, in as many as twelve distinct expeditions.-Port Phillip Gazette, February 2. ”

“ On the said thirtieth day of October next, at Twelve o'Clock, will also be offered for Sale by Public Auction, before the Court-House in Perth, under and by virtue of an Order issued out of the above Court, dated the 2d of August, 1839, All the estate, right, title and interest of the Defend- ant in and to all that piece or parcel of Land situate and being on the Avon River, in the district of York containing 2,746 acres, or thereabouts. ”

“ Iam speaking of the disposal, by the government,'of the landa uf the new country. In old countries no such matter ever occupies public attention ; in new colonies, planted on a fertile and extensive territory, this is the object of the greatest moment to all, and the first business of .the go- vernment. TJpon the mauger in which ¡tjiia busi- ness is conducted it may áín * be said thai every thing else depends. ”

“ The article un- der the head of Emigration is taken from Lord Durham's report on the state of Canada. This report embraces many points of material importance to our com munityy and will unquestionably be read with much interest The article under the head of South Australia, a colony establisded with a change of system, bears strong marks of accurate judgment, founded upon incontrovertible data. ”
