“ A loan of this kind would be one of the most glorious things that could be done for this colony. The settlers would then be able to obtain the means of carrying on their improvements at a fair rate of interest, instead of the usurious exactions to which they have been subjected, so exorbitant that they could seldom or never after extricate themselves from the load so brought upon them. ”

“ Simplicity in the orthography of a language is not less important than desirable. And, as the vowels in Derbalese are not much varied, each having seldom more than two distinct sounds, which must be invariably governed by accentuation, I have disencumbered the language as much as possible of consonants. ”

“ They are the very worst species of members that a community can possess—they are absolute drones upon its industry, for they do nothitg—they may be known by never on any occasion laying out a shilling on tiny colonial improvement whatever.

“ This is the terrible draw-back that is daily gaining head against us, and scarce a vessel now quits our shores that does not bear with it some one or the other capitalist of this description holding us fast by the more than iron bonds of parchment to pay our annual tribute. ”

“ In every case therefore in which the vowel a is not thus marked, it is pronounced in the manner usual on the continent of Europe and North Britain.
But enough on this subject. Pronunciation cannot be acquired by reading: it must be communicated by tuition. Suffice it for the present, to observe, that Derbalese resembles English, in its tendency to an antepenultimate accent. Sometimes, the accent is placed still higher. ”

“ They are fortunately in the hands of those of whom we hope better things, as soon therefore as the pulse of the market has been felt we may anticipate to see the price established at such a rate, as will bring the commodity within the reach of every settler in the colony ”

“ We have as yet no loans at exorbitant and ruinous interest to encumber us, and now the rock upon which our neighbours have split is clearly laid down for us, it will be a lasting reproach if we strike upon it. ”

“ The new scheme has had brilliant success hitherto, and has been warmly welcomed by the inhabitants of the colony, which it is the object of its promoters to improve. Besides this, a New Brunswick Land Company has also been announced, and within these few days, a Central American Company. We are afraid so many speculations will only tend to the ruin of each other ”

“ Our proximity to India and highly favoued climate, entitle us to the first consideration, and a word to the wise from those gentlemen who have visited us, and have interested themselves so warmly in our behalf, we have no doubt would influence the government in delermining in our favour. ”

“ The post-man on his way down to Fremantle yesterday, happened to fall in with one of the sheep which had strayed from the flock lately driven up to a farm on the Swan, and from the exhausted state in which he found it, he carried it to the bush inn, a distance of about a mile and a half, for which exertion he received 2s!!

“ This the natives have always considered an objectionable act of power, as they view the animals in a religious light. As two European constables, stimulated to the utmost pitch of zeal by the reward of half a rupee for each dog, were killing one in the compound of a native, they were astonished by a desperate attack made upon them and were severely wounded. ”

“ The railway companies likewise appear to be tolerably flourishing; but the schemes which take the best of all, are those which chime in with the prevailing rage for emigration. The Australian and Van Diemen s Land Companies (now some years established) seem to be sufficient for those distant colonies, this is quite correct—we have quite sufficient of these companies in these colonies—notwithstanding the able men, Sir E. Parry, and Mr. ”

“ All these are described to be maar-beelenak, above the firmament. The three persons here named, may be found to be nothing more than demi-gods; or men deified. But, if it should be found to be a principle in their creed, that they are immortal and eternal, it will be an interesting discovery.
Ngorrabberrak, an expression denoting the displeasure of the Deity.
Maar-warra-wallagobee, an opening in the firmament apparently implying a communication between heaven and earth. ”

“ The recent arrivals at this port, have brought us a supply for a short period, of every necessary article of consumption, and have reached us at a time, when the scarcity of the greatest part of the investments, will, we anticipate, render the speculations productive of mutual advantage. As the winter is now rapidly drawing in upon us ”

“ If the Houses of Parliament will not take any higher view of the subject, perhaps, they will be influenced by financial considerations. Every tribe of the natives that are instructed, will learn to work for their bread ”
