CHRONOLOGY. 
April 24, Newspapers from Van Diemen’s Land 
received, by which it appears the colonists have 
lately been much annoyed by a system of depreda-

ganized plan to exterminate the white inhabi- 
tants.

_ budget in the House of Commons, stating that the 
real surplus of the reyenue for the Sinking Fund 
-would exceed that of last year; and that the 
country was in a situation of suspense rather 
a __than of positive ill, and required the patient rather 
than the active interference of Parliament; and 
that he saw nothing discouraging in the future 
, prospects of the country ; and when the clouds 
, which overshadowed it should have passed away, 
it would exhibit an aspect of prosperity as per- 
, m: nent and as brilliant as at any previous pe- 
riod!

his men, were severely wounded, and, with two
