Mr. Malhies'in's new schooner, the Gipsy, of about eighteen tons, built at Wanganui, arrived in Port on Saturday last, having left Wanganui on the 24 ! h of March. She encountered severe weather on the passage, and was blown off the heads no less than three limes. The Gipsy is a handsome looking craft, and a good sea-boat, being built on the American principle, and we trtut she will proie a remunerative speculation to her spirited owner. A new srhooner, the properly of Messr.*. Martin and Cro«, will be launched from the building yard, at Kai Warra, in the course ot a few days. She is strongly built, and about 40 tons burthen. The Country in England. — There is a character about the country in England, which we find nothing to resemble : its peculiar greenness, the richness of its hedges, the vecerableness of its trees, the abundance of its streams and rivulets, and the beauty of the cattle which dapple its meads are unrivaled and almost unresembled. "We are assured," says the Debats, " that the Prussian government is about to take severe measures for arresting the progress in Germany of the new sect of Catholic Dissenters. A circular, has been sent by the Minister of the interior to atHhe censors of the kingdom, directing them to strikeout every article having the slightest tendancy to promote these religious movements, which may be proposed to be inserted in any of the journals, or other periodicals, which are not expressly authorised to treat upon these questions. Cdriods Coincidences. — The Duchess of Sutherlsnd, and her two daughters the Marchoness of Lome and Lady Blantyre, have all been deli* rered at Stafford House, within the month, and all of sons! Captain Denham, R.N., formerly Marine Surveyor, of Chester, has been appointed to explora the Bight of the Benin and the rivers and estuaries on the coast of Africa. The object of this survey is to form a better chart of that region, in which the slave, trade is carried on with the gratest audacity. Her Majesty's steamer Avon, to which vessel Captain Denham is appointed, is to be fitted up with every contrivance which can diminish the risk of surveying so unhealthy a region. The Protestant bishop of Jerusalem has received firll permission from the Sultan to build an Evangelical church on Mount Sion.
