Adelaide advice. and journals Dave been received to &phi. The intelligence they bring pommies unusual interest connected with that colony. A serious fracas in tae legis• lauve council had disturbed not only the tone of feeling which should prevail in that assembly, but had been taken ap by the colonists, who resented the conduct of Governor Robe in a manner that did them honour. Military gover nors in general are singularly unpopular ; when once they go wrong an assumed military hauteur is certain to widen the breach ; this has been the nue at Adelaide. This state set things was brought about in the following manner i—On the 3rd of August his Excellency Lieut.-Governor Robe presented to the legislative council a bill for " re•imposing harbour dues and duties on shipping." thus, in appearance, ►bolishing " the free port of Adelaide," of which the colo nists had prided themselves shove their fellow colonists at Sydney, Port Phillip, Hobart Town, &c. On August 9 a public meeting was convened at the Exchange rooms, which nes most numerously attended. Mr. Giles, J.P., was called ti the chair. Mews. Beek, Waterh.use, Biyth, Forster, E. L. Montefioro, Peacock, Burnett Nathan, Captain E.l'er, Capt. Han, John Newman, and Mildred, gentlemen representing the wealth and intelligence of the colony, took part in the day's proceedings The proposed measure was unanimoutly condemned, and a memorial was adopted re presenting to the legislative council the opinion which the colonists had formed respecting the measure. This meeting was followed up ley another—the democratic party--when a resolution was proposed denouncing all the measures of the executive as arbitrary, and winding up with the sentiment " the colony is in a deplorable state of absolute despotism." The council chamber, however, war the arena for warm dis cussion ; the Ben -official members opposed the measure on the ground of its being uncalled for, and in effect abolishing the advantages of Adelaide as a free port, notwithstanding the freedom of the port had been approved by her Majesty ' and her ministers. These sentiments provoked the gover nor's bile, who with much warmth declared that the conduct of non-official members was most dishonourable," whereupon followed a scene of excitement better imagined than expressed. Captain Begot and Major O'Halloran, in council, desired Governor Rohe to retract the expression; his excellency reiterated the of entive language in the fol loriii:Eititeney: would explain what he called a " dishonourable" act. lie had used the wood advisedly the set was dialonourable, sad be would my wa again.

It was on the filth of this understanding that be had an thwired the outlay, and written home shortly alter for the Tend in question. The council knew Pry well that he could not impose taxes, that they must do It, and he relied upon their promise ; yet, when he came to them with s bill and called on them to pm It hs re demption of their pledge, they would not do se—they refused. ile had said this was blabormumble, and be still mid so. It was most The non-official members were not content to rest under such an imputation ; supported by the expression of public opinion, they more than once recurred to the terra' used by the governor in reference to their conduct. Recrimination naturally followed. At a meeting of the legislative council, August 18, Governor Rube atoned for " the height of his offending." Finding that he had made a gross imputation on the characters of the non-official members, his excellency expressed his desire to make the amends honorable—he " seared honourable members that he had every wish to heal any wounded feelings, and to make amends for the un fortunate expression." Toe apology was received in a right spirit, but it is not difficult to observe that Major Robe has lo t the confidence and respect of his council and the colo , meta. The " bullying" was manfully resisted—a tone of i feeling was inspired throughout the colony, from which we gather that the advent of the new governor Sir Henry E. Fox Young, a civilian, will be nailed with joy. The unfortunate fracas over, " The Port Charges Hilt," was discussed at every stage. In the course of the dehlte in the legislative council, the Colonial secretary sup ported the proposed enactments, o b serving that, " Adelaide was not a free port in the most extensive settee of the word, as the newspaper had designated it. (Here H. E. handed I the Colonial Secretary the Straits Times, and pointed to the words above the prices current.—• The port of Singapore is tree—no dot es are levied on imports or exports—no harbour dues exist.') Singapore was a tree port, fur there not only pilotage, but eve, customs duties, which continued here, were abolished. . . Toe aeographicil position of this port was not like that of those places where free ports had been established—such as Singapore, which had been termed the London of Southern Asia, and which was an entrepot for the vast population of the Eastern isles." On examination the bill was not found to be so mischievous as its title portended. Official and non-official members were alike of opinion that the steam-tug would be an acceptable boon to the shipptag ; indeed, the non-official members were willing to submit to the bill, provided that nothing was exacted from the shipping but for services actually demanded and rendered; the condition was carried by vote, as also that the employment of pilots 10.-ould be vsointary. Vowels under 70 tons were to be free from the charges to be levied under the act. After sundry amendments were adopted, the hill peeved and will come into operation on the Ist of April next (1848)—a very appropriate day for its advent, after so much ado.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA. • - We have dirtes from - Swan River to September 24. The acting governor, Lieutanant.Colonel Young, has made himself extremely unpopular by introducing a bill into the hsialative council for imposing a royalty on sandal wood. The Perth and Freementle journals are almost entirely occu r *din decrying the proposed measure. The case is oo doubt a hard one. Excepting wool, sandal wood is the only product which Western Australia has to offer in exchange for articles of European or Eastern produce ; its discovery was the cause of inspiring new life and vigour into this neglected colony. Growing in abundance on all waste lands, procurable at a small outlay for manual labour, certain of meeting a fair market at Singapore or China, the discovery was marked with joy and rejoicing, especially as Eastern articles, re garded either as necessaries or luxuries, were comparatively unknown. Within the put six months (and until the govern ment schooner Champion took supplies from Singapore) scarcely any tea was procurable, whilst the coarsest description of sugar could be obtained only by the higher classes. The sandal wood was certain of removing all these evil., and en. mired a profit of more than 1,200 per cent. When the Scout (which brings this newt) left Perth, about 1,500 tons of sandal wood were cut, of which nearly 500 tons were in a state for shipment, but awaiting the means of transport from the interior to the sea. The proposed levying of an export duty was further obnoxious, as being one step backward in the progreu of the settlement, inasmuch as the ports of Western Australia were declared unrestrictedly free in 184 G. The inhabitants, naturally enough, have resented the attempt to impose royalties on sandal wood, and the whole settlement was in a state of violent agitation ; and no wonder, since the price obtained at Singapore (or the wood had enabled many of the settlers to extricate themselves from debt. contracted years before, and which a series of unfavonrable circumstances had prevented • prior liquida tion of. At a public meeting of the colonists, on Sept. 15, convened by the sheriff, Cl. F. Stone, Esq., the pent up indignation of the colonists found vent. This meeting was called by the leading colonists, viz., Messrs. Lionel Samson, Helms, W. and H. Hxb good, Lochee, B. U. Vigor', Croft, and G. Shinto's. The settler' assembled from all parts of the colony. The sheriff took the chair. A resolution, condemnatory of the proposed impost of 11, per ton on exportation of sandal wood was unanimously adopted; a deputation, consisting of Messrs. Helms, Lukin, Burgea, Habgood, and G. Shelton, was appointed to wait on his excellency the governor, to convey to that functionary the deep regret which the colonists felt at the retio s .ade step which his excelleacy had intimated his intention of submitting to the legislative council. On the following clay (Sept. 16) the deputation waited on the governor, and were courteously received, but his excellency assured them that he would act upon the necessity of the case, and support the bill. Indeed, the bill was submitted to the legislative council Sept. 9, when his excellency moved the first reading of the proposed enact ment " imposing an export duty of 11. per ton on all sandal wood cut on crown lands." His excellency assured the council that the government courted • canvas of the proposed measure. Mr. Leake, M.C., by way of amendment, mos ed that the bill be read that day six months. The Advocate-General, u a matter of course, remarking on the justice as well as expediency of the measure, and that a duty of 11. per ton on that which sold for 301. to 401. per ton obtained from crown lands, at the mere cost of labour, was so insignificant a sum, that any opposition was to him surprising. The acting governor ex premed his " belief that the tax was necessary for the repairs of roads and the erection of bridges. His office was not sought by him ,• he hoped his successor (Capt. Fitzgerald) would be here before the end of the year. He would do has duty regardless of popularity." The council then adjourned to Sept. 23rd. From the oon'ents of private advice., there L every reason to believe that his excellency will abandon a measure so repugnant to the interests of the settlement. If his excellency value public opinion he will not press a emend reading ot tie bill; for although 11. per ton may seem as lutionsiderable inns where the article is procurable at the met *Elam, yet Irian tooth labourers and the mean' of Inurpid see morso, sod the trade of the settlement In 'saber the enastmeed wield do moth harm.

Hvtt, Dec. 21.-The weather during the past week has been very boisterous, and a good deal of rain has fallen, materially affecting the condition of ell grain, renderingsales more difficult than they would, under other circumstances, have been ; independent of this, there hes been no activity in any department of the corn trade, and sales are slow for Wheat at 635. to 5.55. per qr. of 60Ib. Barley, 30s. to 31s. per imp. qr. Beam, 36a. to 38s. per qr. Peas, 40s. to 425. per qr. of 6314. ; and Oats at Ild. per atone, all of which quotations are given according to quality and condition. S. he demand for Linseed is limited, without any alteration in price. There is so little peanup in Rapeseed that our quo ' tattons may be considered nominal. Notwithstanding the mild open weather, for Linseed Cake thero is a fair demand; both English end foreign sell at our quotations. In Rape Cakes and Bones but little doing, and prices un altered. To-day gives every appearance of winter, and 'change of wind to E.N.E. has brought a sharp frost. Letters of the 17th from Hamburg state similar weather, and that the Elbe was full of ice, so much so as to prevent vessels leaving. This will affect all the near pone, and consequently stay further exports. There is a large show of tarmers' Wheat, ' for which more money was generally demanded, the busi ness, however, being confined to millers, who supplied them , selves by paying Is. per qr. ever last week's prices. No alteration in foreign. Oats and Beans are dull sale, and to be bought on rather easier terms. Barley barely maintains prices. Peas support late proses. The market partakes quite of a holiday character, from the nest approach of Chriat- Inas and the clue of tee year, with very little disposition for business.

But little passing in Buns and Peas. - - Limns, Dec. 21.—We have a good arrival of Wheat to day, the trade is firm, but, having a large show, the rates of last Friday could not be exceeded.

Peas, 38s. 1.11'3111.°m., Dee. 21.—Beyond a very moderate supply of Oatmeal and Flour from Ireland, the ,eoeipts into this port, either thence or coastwise, Acme Tuesday last, are trivial ; and except a cargo of Wheat from the Black Sea, with 4,016 qre. of Indian Corn, and 3,071 barrel, of Flour from the United State,, we have nothing worth naming from abroad, the wind being now easterly. Oar advice, from nearly all the leading markets in this country, received since the close of last week, confirm the remarks stated in our account of Friday; while many of those from Ireland report an improving demand and prices tending upwards, ,especially so regards Wheat and Indian Corn, the deliveries of the former from the farmers having somewhat decreased, and the importations of the latter materially diminished. At our market this morning the trade for all chscriptions of Wheat was firm, and very superior qualities of English, Irish, and foreign, each being still extremely scarce, commanded 2.1., and in some few cases 3d. per 70Ib. over the rata of Tuesday last; ' in the middling and inferior kinds, however, little or no advance was obtainable, and the operations on the whole were neither lively nor *standee. The observationarslative to States and Canadian Flour, u noted in the above report, are precisely applicable to the bearings of the trade for each of those denominations today ; and Irish Flour, meeting a good inquiry, realised an advance of la. ••• - sack. Malting Barley and $ in the absence of - remained in all supp y, remain,- respeits nominally unvaried ; and grinding Barley merely sustained former prices. Beans, although in limited de. mand, recovered the decline of Friday. In Peas no material change was apparent.

At Perth, a company has been established for the purpose of meintaining s steam-tug of 20 tons, to be used in the rivers of Western Australia. 'lbis may pioneer the way for vessels of a larger class, for which the presence of coal offers every encouragew.ent. Whilst remarking on coal, it may here be noticed that the overland expedition sent to trace the contisoatien of a seam had been successful in tracing it to within 50 miles southward of Free mantle. The natives seen arc described as very friendly. The following official details of the coal discoveries is from the pen of Dr. Von Sommer, the head of the expedition: Moor River, lat. 31 deg. I I ruin. 8 sec., long. 115 deg. 57 min. So we. —Sir bare the honour to communicate to you, for the Information of hie excellency the governor, the folheing brief and prelim :nary account of the maw results of the ex igditbn I am honoured to kad, as fer as the present day. I traced the great coal formation of Western Aiotralia, on its moat western boundary, from the place where coal and shale were first found by accident (which locality I fixed, by a series of astronomical observations, to be 29 deg. 3 min. 43 see.--the longitude I could not calculate, not bring in fens, salon of a nautical almanac's) down to lat. .9 deg. 45 min. 30 sec., bearing from the first plane to the second 8. 11 dg. 30 min. true, or 1734 deg. magnetic. I was prevented from following that Use farther down on account of the very boggy nature of that formation In its lower parts at this time of the year, but traversed on that tract more than 200 square raile3 of very god d, well-watered, and wooded pa. toral land, in one continuous tine, and I Oink It very probable that the good land continue. in that direction, with the coal formation, down to the south coast. From the aboire-marked prettier' I went 235 deg. magneto" down to Jurien lice, in order to ucenain the fact that so western branches or detach, d coal-fields ran from the main course. On that opportunity I found that Jurien Bay is surrounded by a large tract of recently-formed diluvial soil, abounding with lakee, and already producing, in many places, great quantities of ' good gram and wood. From there I went 145 deg. msg. mac to the Moor River la order to cut the above-de mined western boundary line of the greet coal formation, and in the hope of recognising, ou the deep cuts of the river, Ira reran; the country nearly from ea .t to tweet, some positive signs of the presence of coed. In that count we met, lat. 30 deg. 43 min., after crossing a westward-nuaning brook of some conaderatiori, again a long continuous tract of low hilly oountry, covered with an open gum forest, and partly ea finely and nobly grassed as the beet parts at South A Wald. Though the diameter or that tract appears to run parallel with the run of the coal formation, and indeed fall together with Its western boundary (besides the correspondence be tween their geological formatioa). I followed yet fee a con, our last Mune, In upectanon of reaching the Moore River, where it le laid down in the map; on that account we bat the good land in at. 30 deg. 37 rain. ; but arriving la limited. 31 deg. withoet seeing the river, and falling in with a Innen (yellow clay sandstone) country, I changed our course to 1731 deg., magnetic, and acing even then no signs of improvement (having the good country still on our right), I wet, In lat. 31 deg. 8 min, the course of 310 deg., merle* to that di rection we cut the Moore Riser, latitude 31 deg. II min. 8 see., being here a broad and deep stream, with running from E. by 8. to W.N. Is order to 'nomina l :h a :ler of interesting river, I thought It advisable to send Mr. IL Gregory to Gin& (ehorit 10 • or 12 miles distant) to get of Mr. Brockman some fresh provisions, so our oldstoch had bosoms very small; but I shall endeavour to reto'a to Perth the first week in September, ae the Willer examination and prolongation of the coal stratum to the south coast of Western Australia would Tamale far more means and time than I coo at pre sent dispose of.—l have the honour to remain, Re., F. Vox Somas, Dr. Med. atPhil.—To the Rom the Col. Secretary. Heavy rains had fallen at Western Australia, and much loss of lite and property had been caused by the overflowing of the Swan. W. B. Andrews, Esq., a member of the legis lative council, and one of the earliest settlers in the coloey, expired September 12th, after an illness (fever) of a few hours' duration. When the Scout quitted Swan River, Sept. 24, the utmost consternation prevailed throughout the colony, arising out of the Sandal-wood agitation. Since the above received (per Minerva) advice. from Swan River to October 1. Agitation had performed its work—the governor had succumbed. At a meeting of the legislative council, September 23, the order of the day for the second reading of the Sandal Wood Bill was read. His excellency stated that owing to the strong expression of feeling manifested throughout the colony and the opinions of the members of the council, be would withdraw the bill and introduce another in its stead. His excellency then moved the first reading of a bill to provide means for the construction of lines of communication by the imposition of a toll of 10s. per ton (payable at the port of shipment) on all sandal wood. The proceeds of the tell are to be vested in a board of works, and thus afford security that the money col lected will be expended en the specific objects for which it was levied. The colonists were rejoicing at their triumph over the executive. The council adjourned to October 7, when the new bill would be read &second time. ' ROYAL NAVAL Scnow...—Yesterday the Christmas distribution of pries' took plaoe at the school, New Cross ; Admiral Bowles, M.P.

After a brief address from the president, the head mister's report was read by Mr. Eames, the secretary, from which it appeared that the conduct and proficiency of the pupils was most satisfactory, and that only two or three wire ohliced to discontinue thrtr studies in consequence of the prevailing epidemic.

COMMERCIAL A- MARKETS. LABUAN. The latest advices from this quarter are to Sept. 30, the date of the departure of her Majesty's brig Columbine. Nothing bed transpired relative to the views of the home government respecting the island. The H. C. steamer Phlegethon from Singapore, arrived at Labuan, September 25, and relieved the Columbine of the duties of guardship. A new contract had been entered into with Mr. Miles for working an additional 200 tons of coal for the use of her Idejesty's service, and Chinese coolies were employed is working the seal-seam. H. M. surveying barque Royalist arrived at Labuan, Sept. 20, and was at anchor in Victoria Bay when the Columbine left. The Royalist has completed the survey of the coast of Borneo, from Sarawak (Mr. Brooke's settlement) to the entrance of the Bruni river. On Oct. 19 H. M. steamer Medea (Commander Mama) left Singapore for Labium, via Sarawak. The Medea will remain at Labuan for the admiral, who is expected there at the end of November. The Johanna has brought intelligence from Bruni to Sept. 29, at which date all remained quiet. The Sultan continued firm in his ex prmions of respect for us; his Highneu had received threats of vengeance from the pirates of Boole* for the summary slaughter of those who escaped the fire of the steamer Nemesu at the end of May lost. The Sultan treats the threats with indifference, relying on our power and will to protect him against all enemies. A Mr. R. Berns leR this in the steamer Medea to settle in Bruni, with the view of opening a direct trade with Singapore. The Amelia, Tyrone, Johanna, and Kim Hok Hien arrived from Bruni during the past month with full cargoes of raw sago, bees'-wax, caoutchouc, and other produce. The Amelia and Johanna have sailed from this again for Borneo. CANADA. Private letters have been received in town within the list few days, from several parts of Canada, stating that in consequence of the colony being overrun by Irish emi grants, who are unable to obtain employment, a memorial to her Majesty was in course of signature, praying that either some means should be adopted by government to divert the tide of emigration from that part of her bla jetty's dominions, or that some steps should be taken to pro vide employment for the emigrants en their arrival, either by the construction of railroads, or in any other way which her Majesty might think proper to adopt. The memorial has already received the signature of many thousand per sons, and is expected to reach this country by the next arri vals from Canada. It is worded in strong terms, and pre dicts the worst consequences to the colony should something ' not be done is remedy the evils complained of. The lead ing towns in the colony—New Brunswick is mentioned in particular—are said to be literally swarming with these Irish emigrants, who move about in a mass of rags, from plate to place, asking alms from every one they meet. The writer ' of one of the letters which have just been received from New Brunswick mentions that no fewer than twenty-seven of these miserable creatures called at his house to solicit charity in one day. EXTENSIVE FIRE.-11111 morning, a few minutes before four o'clock, a fire burst forth from the lower part of the Coachmakers' Arms Tavern, Robe-street, Long-acre. At the timo of the outbreak there were nearly a dozen per sons sleeping in the upper floors, who, on being made sen sible of their danger, succeeded, by a desperate effort, in reaching the roof in safety ; and, after some time, the whole of the inmates, consisting of men, women, and children, were noticed on the parapet, in their night clothes. Cueing to the exertions of the pollee and inhabitants, every person was rescued. The engines =r attended, when the firemen found the premises, ase to roof, a body of flame. There was a good eueelY of wrier, sad after the lapse of two hours the flames were estlegvieed, but not before the stock is trade, furniture, sod ethic ef fects were entirely consumed, MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

We have only time to state that the balance sheet brought down to the present moment shows the liabilities in gross at 319,7801., and the as sets at 326,3241. . . _ . Resolutions were passed that the estate should be wound up under inspection, and that the inspectors should be Mr. Joshua Bates(of the firm Baring, Brothers, and Co.). Mr. H. D.

Mr. Cook and Mr. Windsor, two of the partners, were appointed to conduct the liquidation under the inspectors ; and, as it was stated the partners would require no allow ance during that period, a resolution was passed permitting them to transact business as brokers on their own account, on their covenanting neither di rectly nor indirectly to make use of the existing as sets of the firm.
