perfon ftrongly to refemble the mifchicvous '
native animal, was Lift week ihot dead at
Parramatta, owing to the miflaksn nation
entertained of his pedigree. He was a pro-
digious favourite with his mailer, v/ho iii
toke.i of the veiy high eflimation in which
he held him, could devife for him no fingle
appellative more pur j and prscious than that
of Brandy. So choice nfpirit was certainly
deferviig of a better fate j but detraction,
which feldom lofes fight oÇ any imperfec-
tion, fubfequently declares his principles to
have been lhamefully adult ¿rated by a neg-
lected education, which paved the way to
many a vicious habit ; and unfortunately for
the memory cr the deceafed, the fufpicion oi
his immorality is flrengthened confiderably
by tlie ill-natured report, that fince the fpirit
of this immaculate Brandy has evaporated,
darks, geefe, and tiukies retire to their pil-
low without the apprehenfion of a midnight
fummons.
A dog, whose sad mischance it was, in
person strongly to resemble the mischievous
native animal, was Last week shot dead at
Parramatta, owing to the mistaken notion
entertained of his pedigree. He was a pro-
digious favourite with his master, who in
token of the very high estimation in which
he held him, could devise for him no single
appellative more pure and precious than that
of Brandy. So choice a spirit was certainly
deserving of a better fate ; but detraction,
which seldom loses sight of any imperfec-
tion, subsequently declares his principles to
have been shamefully adulterated by a neg-
lected education, which paved the way to
many a vicious habit ; and unfortunately for
the memory cr the deceased, the suspicion oi
his immorality is strengthened considerably
by the ill-natured report, that since the spirit
of this immaculate Brandy has evaporated,
ducks, geese, and turkies retire to their pil-
low without the apprehension of a midnight
summons.

of a just and honourable Power, little credit
can be derived from the lawless exercise of
an authority over the subjects of a nation in
perfect amity with his own - or in defiance
of the solemn engagement universally known
to subsist between the mariner and owner, to
decoy, or even to admit among his crew a set
of runaways, who from a notion of tempo-
rary security, could by a glaring act of felony
b.and themselves with lasting reproach and
infamy: if such really be the case, he must
certainly have been governed by a lunar im-
pulse ; and with returning reason he must for
his own security be alarmed.
Little doubt is admissible, however, that
the tread of justice will overtake the perhaps
already discarded miscreants, whose persecu-
tion they have themselves determined.

The deîiberate and determined villany of
the principal offender, Pawson, though it
excite contempt, lays equal claim to the de-
testation and abhorrence of a man who could
thus meanly betray a trust at first reposed in
him from a high opinion of his integrity,
but latterly from motives of humanity alone,
as he had, by a former breach, incurred some
censure, and even a slight suspicion of his
honour. Gratitude to his employers might
have influenced him to a very different con-
duct : but this is, alas ! an incompetent and
slender tye, that sometimes hangs' upon the

prosperity's early dawn, flies off in empty

The flattering countenance, the fostering
and liberal protection by Government affor-
ded to this still tender branch of dawning
commerce, has excited emulation, and patro-
nized the exertion necessary to extend it :
The benefits derived from it are not confined
to the owners alone who fit out for the em-
ploy, but are general ; and in proportion to
their successes are the general interests af-
fected. Must we not then sympathize at
their losses, and glow with indignation when
those losses are not dispensed by Providence,
but the result of human perfidy against which
it is almost impossible to guard ?

The last week's advertisement of Messrs.
Kable and Underwood will, it is to be ear-
nestly hoped, answer the desired end of
bringing to justice the faithless and depraved
miscreants, who, to the most unpardonable
treachery in infracting a solemn engagement
have basely added an act of felony : exposing
their distant employers thereby to certain da-
mage, the possible extent of which cannot be
ascertained.
