A GLEN.
It was a little glen—a solitude—
Bv nuture tashioned in her gayer mood:
There was so much of sunshine in its shade:
—ich pleasant n.u-ic from the bre-ok, that made
P- way o'er pebbi • , Mii..!t:g white, l.ke pearls
Amid some loyal maiden s ..i\en curls.
It had no distant prospect: The blue sky
Closed like a dome o’er the sweet sanctuary;
And forest ties-', like pillars, girt it round,
VYI - ■ branches, summer tapestry, swept ihe ground;
And then there was a little open space,
Enough to mirror on the water’s face
A glimpse of th bright heaven. U|K>n its banks
oiyw the sweet thousands of the harebell’s ranks,
Amid white daisies, that, like light and air,
And hnj>e and love, are common e ery where;
An*’ like a couch spread the voluptuous heath,
stv. t ngthe air with its Arabian breath.
Australia.
A pa uphlet has just been published in New York,
containing in a brief form, a variety of information res
ting tins new gold region. The Courier furnishes
;h following editorial notes of its contents:
There are four direct settlements in Australia, or
New Holland, each claiming more or less attention from
The voieriean and English, viz: 1. New South Wales,
n ‘he eastern side so called from a slight resemblance
to South Wales in Great Britain.) This colony was
i. led in . T-'T, as a penal settlement. 11. Western
Australia, or Swan River, founded in ihe year 1829 bto.
111. 8- .tit Australia, or P. rt Adelaide, founded in 1835
IV. Port Philip, or Victoria, lying to the South
eastern point of the island, founded in 1*36.
The gold region lies in the first and fourth settlements
above tinned, viz: New South Wales and Port Philip.
! ; ; are adjoining each other, and are in the southeast
portions of the Island, betwe it tle latitude 30 deg aid
is deg. 45 min. South, and the meridian 113 deg. 10
min. und 153 deg. East of Greenwich. The area of the
whole Island is estimated at 2,690,810 square miles,
and the coast line at nearly *ooo nautical miles—equiva
lent to more than three fourths the extent of Europe.
The climate of the whole territory is remarkably salu
brious. as is shown bv th • general health of the many
Europeans employed with the exploring expeditions
within the tropics, who are exposed to the scorching sun,
and provided with scanty shelter at night, and misera
ble tood. Numerous facts indicate the excessive dry
ness of the central portions of the Island, where the
fleece of the sheep takeu by the explorers ceased to
grow.
In New South Wales, January is the middle of sum
mer, and July is in the midst of winter. The summer
extends from December til! March, when the thermo
meter ranges Loin *>s to 7- deg. Tite average tempera
ture of spring is 6‘> deg, summer 72 deg, autumn 66
deg win er 55 deg. The winter is of a bracing cold-
D’ ss. with occasional frosts at Sydney and snow in the
riur. As instances of the remark able healthiness of
tint region, it is stated that not more than five or six
sick. oei s*n.s will he generally found, in a Cuinmunity of
twelve bun area, ana at Some military stations* seven
years have elapsed without the loss of a’ man.
Rain at times tails in heavy and continuous torrents
At one period of twenty four bouts in Port Jackson, the
fall was twenty-five inches; and ten or fifteen feet
above the ordinary level of a river is not an unusual
bright during the rainy season.
in New S.utli Wals, the wboleline ineofcoast presents
’ general an aspect of bold aud perpendicular cliffs of
saad stone, lying in horizontal strata. In addition to
bit vast treasures of gold existing in both settlements
t New South Wales and Port Philip, copper and iron
have been found, wish extensive mine* of coal. The
xams of coal are distinctly visible in the abrupt face of
the dirt’s near the harbor of New Castle, and can be dis
tinctly traced for a distance of uine miles. According
to Mr. Pattison, who has published some uotices of the
country, a mine has been opened where steel “is dug
•tom the earth with little boring aud of endless ex
tent.”
Ihe first discovery of gold in the new regions of Aus
tralia has been attributed to a shepherd boy, who after
filing his gold at the city, returned to seek for more,
‘it was followed brothers, and is supposed to have
h*'n murdered. Dr Clu terbuck saw as early as 1849,
rive gold in the workshop of a watch maker at Mei-
SrK iderick J. Murchison had given his opin
” i that gold existed extensively in Australia; but it
y not hilly developed or made known until February,
* I. when it was found in abundance in Brisbane
1 ‘uity, lying about 100 miles northwest of Sydney, the
foeftown ol New South Wales. At this period, three
:is of quartz were discovered, weighing about 224 lbs.,
ae product of which in pure gold was lotj pounds, and
Id in Bathurst for Jt!4,z4 1 sterling. lu Septem
er •• Mowing, gold was extensively found also in the
; ..n\ of \ jetoria or Port Philip. In this district was
‘.":nd the largest lump yet discovered, and called “the
the Nuggets,’ front Forest Creek, Mount Alex
ter, and weighed 27 lbs. 6 oz. 15 dwts. This was a
“•ve lump of pure gold, of a tine color, and measur
ed eleven inches in length aud five in breath.

t t A l t’Mto L, Ikted. —The grand jury of New Yoik
cir.y has indicted for m’sdctneanjr in office Alderman
Bitii.h and Alderman llard, two ot the members sitting
on the Bench of the Court, to which the indictment was
made. T he presentment states that man v of the wi'nessrs
s imm.uHd have refused totestifv, but enough has been
elicited t, show that gross sn 1 stupendous frauds, and
vi..ul violations of tbt?irofficial duties have been penje
rated on the part of various members of the Heads of
Departments and the Common Councils—every one of
whom, is alleged, could be identified if the witnesses
had not refused to testily. They show that a certain
piece of city property was sold for $130,000, for which
one person offered $225,0tf0, and another $300,000; and
it is luriher alleged that Alderman Sturtevant deman
ded of a certain party $2,000, and that Alderman Bard
received 0 for certain services as Alderman: that
Alderman Smith vvas paid ss<fo, and subsequently de
manded $3,000 for securing the passage of a certain
grant; and that he also agreed for S2OO to suppress res
olutions reducing the fees of coroners, which sum he
subsequently received. It is also shown that enormous
stuns of money have been expended for the procure
ment of railroad grants in the city, and that towards
the procurement of the Eighth Avenue railroad grant,
a sum so large that would startle the most credulous,
was expended; but in consequence of the voluntary ab
sence of die important witnesses, the Grand Jurv was
left without direct testimony of the particular recipients
of the dill ‘rent amounts. Various other sums are given
as having been paid to Aldermen. The Grand Jurv
conclude by turning the whole matter over to the Re
corder for a full investigation.
The Impromptu Coat.
M. de Louvois had been very wild iti his youth, and
spent his money with marvellous facility. His father,
ir. i.ate l by his extravagance, refused to supply him
with the means of continuing his disorderly career ; and
his credit being quite exhausted, he was forced to re
turn, like the Prod gal Sou, to Ihe Parental chateau. He
arrived unencumbered by a saco id coat. A large par
ty had been invited to dinner; but as our hero expec
ted the company to be rather stupid, he wished not to
appear, giving his toilet as an excuse.
“ Monsieur,” said his father, “ I will expect you to
join this dinner pally.”
“ I should feci much pleasure, but it is impossible!—
this coat ”
“Wear another.”
“ I have not go! it.”
“Vou have not one! after spending sixty thousand
livres with tailors and embroiderers.”
“ That would have been a very good reason former
ly but it ino longer so. They are all worn out.”
“Get one.”
“Monsieur, that is easily said, but to get a coat one
must have money ; and at this moment ”
“ What! after borrowing two hundred thousand
livres from usurers?”
“ Moil Dieu! monsieur, I do not mean to contradict
you. but the crowns have followed the coats.”
M. de Louvois raised his eyes and arms to heaven,
uttered an exclamation of anger, and left the room:—
he turned when Le got to thedoor, and said,
“1 will not enter into a discussion on your extrava
gince, monsieur; but 1 will say that 1 desire to see you
at my table on the appointed day, and that I forbid
you to appear there in the coat you now wear.”
The chevalier was stunned—embarrassed ; he knew
not what to do. The paternal mandate was positive,
and he had no hope of future assistance from his father
if he did not obey him now. He called his valet, a
second Scapiti. and they all their wits to work to
find some means of ge ting ou’ of this dilemma, but in
vain : human invention seemed unequal to the task.—
The chevalier was distracted; he paced his chamber in
dismay, when casting his eyes upon the hangings
i which represented the marriage procession of Alexan
der and Siattira. as a suddeu thought struck him.
“Ah !” said he. “ I know what I will do. Go into
the village, and briitg me the tailor, with his imple
ments, immediately ; and tell him to prepare to spend
the uight here.”
“ But M. le Chevalier ”
“ Go immediately, and do not reply.”
When the valet had left the room, he proceeded with
the greatest coolness, to take down the curtains off his
bed, and laying them ou the table, marked out the fig
tires he admired most. The tailor was brought.
“ Come my man,” said he, you must make a coat,
vest and culotte out of this; be sure to choose the hand
somest ladies for the front, and this high priest with
his long beard, will do very well tor the hack.”
The valet and the tailor thought, and with very good
reason, that their young master was losing his senses,
but lie was so determined that they were obliged to
obey. The suit was finished in time and fitted extreme
ly well; the chevalier was very “well pleased, and hav
ing completed his toilet, descended to the dining-room,
which he entered with an imperturbable countenance.
He was received with shouts of laughter. His father
was very angry ; but this public disgrace obliged him to
open his purse for his extravagant heir, who with fresh
funds returned to Paris.— Memoir* of the Baroness

Literal Compliance. —Some years ago, the A'ankee
schooner Sally Ann , under command of one Captain
Spooner, was beating up the Connecticut River. Mr
C. nistock, the mate, was at his station forward Accord
ing to bis nolion of tilings, the schooner u .is getting a
little too near to certain “fiats,” which lay along thelur
boar 1 shore. So alt he goes to the Captain, and, with
his hal cocked on one side, says:
“Cap’n Spooner, you're getting’ leetle too close to
them fiats—hadn’t you better go about?”
To which Captain Spooner replied :
“Mr. Comstock, jest you go for’ard and ‘tend to your
part of the skuner, and* I’ll tend to mine!”
Mr. Comstock went “for'ard,” in high dudgeon, and
hallooed out.
“Boys, see that ’are mud hook all clear for lettin’
**”
“Ay, ay, sir—all cleat!
“Let go then!” said he.
Down went the anchor, out rattled the chain, and like
a flash the Silly .4an came lulling into the wind, and
then brought up all standing.
Mr. Comstock walked aft, aud, touching his hat very
cavalierly, said:
“Well, Cap’n, my part of the skuner is to anchor!”—

John Randolph Octdone. —Os the many amusing
anecdotes of this eceatric man of Iloa.no'e, we do r.ot be
lieve the following was ever in print :
He was through a part of Virginia in which he was
unacquainted—n the meantime, he stopped during
the night at an Inn near the forks of the road. The
Inn keeper was a line old gentleman and no doubt one
of the jir* fa.mi ce of t\e O and Dominion. Knowing
who his distinguished guest was, he endeavored during
the evening to draw him into a conversation, but failed
in all his efforts. But in the morning when Mr. Ran
dolph was ready to start, he called for his bill, which,
on beiug presented, was paid. The landlord still anx
ious to have some conversation with him, began as fol
lows :
“Which way are you traveling, Mr. Randolph?
“Sir!” said Mr. Randolph, with a look ot displea
sure.
“I asked,” said the latter, “which way are you travel
ing?”
“Have I paid you my bill?”-
“Ves.”
“Do I owe you anything more?”
“No.”
“Well, I am going just where I please -do you un
derstand?”
“Ves.”
The landlord by this time got somewhat excited, and
Mr. Randolph drove off. But, to the landlord’s sur
prise, in a few minutes the servant returned to
enquire for his master, which of the fol ks of the road
to take. Mr. Randolph not being out of hearing dis
tance, the landlord spoke at the top of his breath, “Mr.
Randolph, you don't ow'e me one cent, just take which
road you please.”
It is said trial the air turned blue, w ith the curses of
Randolph.
Uncle Tom in Ri ssia.—A correspondent of the Lon
j don I)ailv Mew* writes from Moscow as follows: —
“The celebrated •Uncle Tom,’ that remarkable negro
who has encountered so many strange adventures, con
tinues his course through the world. In Russia he is
becoming known through the medium ot a very imper
fect translation of Mrs. Stowe’s book, and enjoys great
reputation. The police do not interfere, although the
circulation of the work remains as yet unauthorized.—
In Russia, you are aware, enfraneisement is the order
of Ihe dav ; perhaps this has somewhat to do with the
non-intern-rence ot the officials.
“As soon as the firrt copies of the work arrived,
there were so few of them that they made the tour of
the town, being let out to hue for two hours a* u time,
and :hus passing from one hand toanolher of the Mus
covite aristocracy. Trusty servants were seut from
house to house with them wrapped up in silk or b:i
tis'e, with as much care as new-born infants, ami hid
den in a little portfolio. Tc-day thousands of ‘Uncle
T<> i’ t ired .to in the capital, and I am informed that a
very distinguished man is at this moment engaged in a
good Russian translation.”
The following from the London correspondent
of a New York Sunday paper, will go for what it is
worth:
Queen Victoria is said to he dreadfully alarmed i.i
the idea, which perpetually haunts her, that a revolu-,
lion will drive her from the throne of Lngland. On I
this frar she is said to have invested the av-j
ings of her income in foreign securities, to have means J
if subsistence in private life: and it has been said a j
hundred times over, that her chief investments arc in i
the IT. 8. I have even heard that the Barings have;
purchased for her at least half a street of good houses
in the city of New* A ork.

postmasters, or the affidavits of other creditable persons,
tor failing to arrive in contract time ; for neglecting to
take the mail from, or deliver it into, a post ottice; for
suffering it (owing either to the unsuitableness of the
place or manner of carrying it) to be injured, destroy
ed, robbed, or lost; and for refusing, afier demand, to
convey the mail as frequently as the contractor runs,
or is concerned in running, a coach, car, or steamboat
011 a route.
6. The Postmaster General may annul the contract
for repeated failures so run Agreeably to contract; for
disobeying the post office laws, or the instructions or
the Department; for refusing to discharge a carrier
when required by the Department to do so ; for assign
ing the contract without the assent of the Postmaster
General; for running an express as aforesaid; or for
transporting persons or packages conveying mailable
matter out of the mail.
■ • The Postmaster General may order an increase of
service on a route by allowing therefore a pro rata in
crease on the contract pay. He may also order an in
crease of speed, he allowing, within tlie restrictions of
the law, a pro rata increase of pay for the additional
stock or carriers, if any. The contractor tnav, howev
er, io the case of increase of speed, relinquish the con
tract by giving prompt notice to the Department that he
prefers doing so to carrying the order into effect. The
Postmaster General may also curtail or discontinue Ihe
service, at pro rata decrease of pay, if he allow one
month’s extra compensation on the amount dispensed
with, whenever, in his opinion, the public interests do
not require the same, or in ease he uesires to supersede
it by a different grade of transportation.
8. Payments will be made for the service bv collec
tions ot, or drafts on Postmasters, or otherwise, after
the expiration of each quarter— say in February, Mav,

plied be correctly stated.
VOL. XXX.—NO. 49.
10. The Postmaster General is prohibited by law from
knowingly making a contract lor the transportation of
the mails, with any person who shall have entered into,
or proposed to enter into, any combination to prevent
the making of any bid for a mail contract by any other
person or persons, or who shall have made any agree
ment, or shall have given or performed, or promised to
give or perform, any consideration whatever, or to do,
or not to do, anv thing whatever, in order to induce any
other person or persons not to bid for a mail contract.
Particular attention is called to the 28th section of the
tict of 1836, prohibiting combinations to prevent bidding.
11. A bid received after time, viz : the 4th of April,
1853, at 9 am, or without the guaranty required by
law, or that combines several routes in one sum of com
pensation, cannot be considered in competition with a
regular proposal reasonable in amount.
12. A bidder may offer, where the transjiortation
called for by the advertisement is difficult or impracti
cable at certain seasons, to substitute an inferior mode
of conveyance, or to intermit service a specified number
of days, weeks or months. He may propose to omit an
inaccessible office, or one not on the stage or railroad, or
at a steamboat landing, as the case may be; or be may
offer to substitute an inferior mode of supply in such
cases. He may propose different times of arrival . ;id
departure, provided no mote running time is asked, and
no mail connexion prejudiced. He may ask additional
running time for the trip, during a specified number of
davs, in seasons of very bad roods; but beyond these
changes, a proposal for service differing from that called
for by the advertisement, will not be considered in com
petition with a regular bid reasonable in amount \V here
a bid contains any such alterations, their disadvantages
will be estimated in comparing it with other proposals.
13. There should be but one route bid for in a propo
sal.
14. The route, tlie service, the yearly pay, the name
and residence of the bidder, aud those of each member
of a firm, where a company offers, should be distinctly
stated; also, the mode of conveyance, if a higher mode
than horseback be intended.
15 The bid should be sent under seal, addressed to
the Second Assistant Postmaster General, superscribed
“ Mail Proposals in the State of .” It should be
guarantied, and the sufficiency of the guarantors corti
ned,’ (see forms,) and should be dispatched in time to
be received bv or before 9 A. M., ot the 4th of April,
1353.
16 The contracts are to be. executed and returned to
the Department by or before the Ist ol July, 18. V-.
17. Under the act of March 3d, 1545, the routes are to
be let to the lowest bidder tendering sufficient guaran
ties, without other reference to the mode of transporta
tion than may be necessary for the due celerity, ciitaiu
tv, and security of such transportation. When the low
est bid proposes a mode of conveyance, inadequate to
the due celerity, certainty and security of the mails, it
will not be accepted.
1.3. When the bid does not specify a mode of convey
ance, also when it proposes to carry according to the ad
vertisement, but without such specification, it will be
considered as a proposal for horseback service.
19. A modification of a bid, in any of its essential
terms, is tantamount to anew bid, and cannot be re
ceived so as to interfere with regular competition, after
the last hour set for receiving bids.
20. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the
sufficiency of guarantors or sureties without knowing
that they are persons of sufficient responsibility ; ana
all bidders, guarantors and sureties are distinctly noti
fied that on a failure to enter into or perform the con
tracts for the service proposed fin - in the accepted bids,
their legal liabilities will be enforced against them.
23. Contractors are required to take the tv.a rom,
and deliver them iuto, the offices at the >. . > utes
and all intermediate offices ; and or. steam: rail
road lines into intermediate offices not more u. ghty
rods from the lauding or station.
22. Present contractors and persons known at the De
partment, must, equally with others, procure gurantors
and certificates of their sufficiency substantial!} n the
forms above prescribed. The certificates of sufficiency
must be signed by a Postmaster, or a Judge, or Clerk
of a Court of Record.
