At six p. m., ! on tin; evening of March 21, they doubled 1 the Eastern end of the Island, and at scv- ; on rounded to ofl the. bay of St. Joseph, ' at the head of which the few inhabitants j now remaining on tlie island avo located.? 1 The facilities for loading water at the is- j land ('apt.

The island is twenty-five miles long, by about four in breadth. The land j is v<tv high rising in rugged precipitous peaks ?one of tlioni called Tunkee, m i feet above the level of the sea.

There are three re- ! malleable caves in the sides of the hill fa- < ting tho harbor, about HO feet in len-jth, I L'.'i in width, and about the same in height. The inhabitants now number but I t, of whom Messrs. Day ami Kirkuldic, from Valparaiso, arc the chief persons; they have been appointed overseers of the island by tl. Chilian Ctovernmcnt. Formerly a penal colony, numbering .">?)0, was In- , eated here, and the caves above mentioned were used by them, but the project was ; found to be impracticable,and tlic convicts | were taken back to the main-land. The ; (roldcn Rocket anchored on the opposite I hide from that upon which Selkirk lived, ; and there being a mountain to cross to j reach the Robinson C'rusoo abode, no one ventured to make the iournev. The best ' landing is on the eastern side, but the wa tor is twenty fathoms deep at the head of j the bay, and in some places so bold is the shore that a boat tied by her painter and drifting to the limits, v.uuld be in 7."> fathoms. An immense number of goats arc running wild all over the island, and an ubundanccof tish nro taken on every coast. The water is obtained from a number of never-failing rivulets trickling down over the rocks from the cloud-capped mountains. ! [ San Frfun isro Ilt rubl.

All agree, however, upon the | widespread benefits that resulted from the large increase of the productions of gold during the last ten years.
