The ship Paramatta, from London t© Sydney, was boarded on October 23 by somo of tho islanders of Tristan d'Acunha. Captain Goddard reports:—"On the day named I was boarded by twelve of the islanders, who brought on board a few sheep, pigs, geese, and potitois. Although not in want of the stock, I took it from them, giving in exchange a quantity of flour, sugar, ricy, coffee, and tea. I understood the live stock, etc., was tie common property of all the islanders, and what I gave in return would bo equally divided amongst ail the families on the island when landed. After they had flnishod the barter with me, each man brought out a small store of eggs, wilk, and drkd skins, which they traded on their own account, preferring cocoa, coffee, tea, etc. ; hut taking old clothes or anything thoy could get. After thoy hid been on board about two hours I was obliged to hurry them awav, as the wind wai freshening fast and the weather looking wet and unsettled ; this was about six o'clook, und we were about ten miles from the land. I took the boat in tow, p.n 1 just as it was getting dark left them close under th 9 land. They reported all will on tho Islam, tho population ot 108 souls all In health and contentment Since tho death of tho old corporal they havo no one in actu 1 authoilty over them but the oldest man, whose name Is Green, seems to be looked up to as a guide, and makes all the arrapgetnents for bartering with passing ships."—' Sydney Morning Herald.'
