J. Burnett.

GOVERNMENT ORDER
Colonial Secretary's Office, March 1, 1827

IN notifying the appointment of the Police Magistrates in the interior, whose time will be more exclusively devoted to the Public Service, the Lieutenant Governor begs to assure the gentlemen in the Commission of the Peace, of the high sense he entertains of the zeal with which they have gratuitously performed their arduous duties, and, although His Excellency anticipates the greatest benefit to the colony by this augmentation of the Police, he is induced to hope that the Magistrates will not relax in that active assistance which they have on all occasions rendered to the Government.  Their zealous co-operation with the Police Magistrates, will doubtless be attended with the most beneficial results, and His Excellency feels assured they will not fail to act in unison with the Government in giving full effect to the new arrangement.

By Command of His Excellency,
J. Burnett.

Wool, we rejoice to state, has advanced ten per cent. in the London market, and large shipments are now making to India for the manufacture of silk and woollen stuffs. This, we trust, will be the means of opening an export direct to that country from this port. If the East India Company. promote their own Interests, they will bestir themselves in the furtherance of this object. We should then obtain our tea, sugar, rice, silk and other Indian goods for wool in the raw state, instead of dollars.

The prisoners by the Andromeda are chiefly countrymen, only three of the number being tried in London.

The brig Wellington sailed from Sydney, three months ago, with 66 prisoners for Norfolk Island. When fairly out at sea, and while the master was observing the latitude at noon, the convicts surprised the guard and crew and overpowered them. They succeeded in carrying the vessel to New Zealand, where coming in view of Captain Duke of the ship Sisters, who lately sailed from this port, they were recaptured after a sharp engagement of four hours. Four of the robbers fell, and several were wounded, but providentially Captain Duke and his brave crew escaped unhurt. The soldiers, 16 in number, were stowed in the hold from the day of their seizure.

We regret to state, that the Wesleyan missionaries have been obliged to abandon their labours on account of the natives, and have returned to Sydney by the Sisters, with the loss of all their property.

The Midas, Baigrie, and the Albion, Ralph, with male prisoners, from London, and the Brothers, Motley, from Cork, with female prisoners, have arrived at Sydney.

The Portland sailed from Sydney for London on the 8th February, with colonial produce.—Passengers, Lieut. Col. Balfour of the 40th, and Captain Lockyer of the 3rd, with their families.

Captain Dixon, late of the Skelten, is coming out in a new ship called the Tasmanian.

Lieutenant Vachell with a party of the Staff-Corps and mechanics, is, we are happy to learn, proceeding to Oatlands to erect a military barrack.

The loss of wheat and flour at the Supply Mills, will be about 3000 bushels. The damage done to the building will cost about £150 to repair.

Four causes were tried in the Civil Court on Wednesday, viz. Maclachlan v. Abel, Kemp and Barker v. Davis, Champion and Charlton v. Same, and Dixon v. Bedford, the three former for bills of exchange, and the last for a horse, and verdicts for the plaintiffs were pronounced in each. We regret to see the business of the court so frequently retarded, owing to the irregular attendance of assessors.
