There has been much heavine.s in the Cobmill markets throughout the week, and for some ar;iclos lower rates have been accepted. The dulness, however, may be in a great measure attributed to the linlidays. Sugar has de clined fully (I?. per cwt., while even at this reduction there is not mach irelinotion to purchase. If Coffee there has been very little done, and former rates are not obtaioable. Rice has beef. sold on lower terms. There has been a very good demand for Spice.

Sta,—Tho primary cause of our defective "mail pact service chiefly arises, not from the culpable leniency of government in not enforcing penalties for breaches of contract," but from the existence of con tracts at all. The thoroughfares of the ocean ought to be left open to uninterrupted competition, so that the traffic might be carried on by whomever should do it best. Nothing can be more mischievous than government meddling at all with the intercourse between England and Australia, for instance. Government interference ought to be confined to enacting suitable " ship letter" laws, for the convenient despatch of letters by tho best vessels on the berth. There would then be plenty of superior and constantly improving vessels running regularly and frequently ; just as, previous to the commence ment of the absurd contract system, there were punctual self-organised vessels between New York and Liverpoohand on other stations. If the public were once assured unequivocally that government would muse to paralyse private enter ;Wise by the blighting plague of this bounty system, there would soon be an end of all cause for grumbling ; the communication with Australia would be cheap and rapid to a degree, which the public appear at present not to expect. If the doctrine of free trade is good for anything, why not trust it in this branch of enterprise as well as m others ? Yours, &c.,. Aprii 1, 1853. LAISSEZ-FAIRE. DEATH OF THE REV. G. L.

The Nouveau Monde Company have received let ters from their superintendent, Mr. Clement, dated Mount Ophir, California, February 8. He announces the arrival of the engineer and party sent from Eng land, and states that they were actively employed in the repairs of the machinery and erection of reduc tion works. By repairing some of the existing mills he hopes to obtain results until the more per fect machinery is established. The quartz already ground was from all kind, of stuff lying about the premises, and gave good resul s on Tanning or wash ing in a bowl. Mi.. Clement refers to the reports of the mince and reduction works, and remarks that he is happy to sec that all goes on well, and will enable him to give that Litisfact ion he so much desires of making some show of returns. It appears front the mining report that the No. 1 level in the Pine Tree sett had been driven a total length of 240 feet at the end of January, and that the same quantity of gold, or even a better show, had been found on %inning; the stuff broken throughout. Another branch of a lode had been discovered, nearly parallel with those in hand, which shows gold in larger specks, and generally thought to be richer in quality, as the vannings plainly show. In Mount Ophir sett, the level had been driven 531 feet in the mi , oth, and the lode left standing contains gold to fall', Ii cents per lb., _having iinFovi d in appearance, but has not been taken down, as the object is to reach the main lode.

He then came out in a state of aliaost perfect nudity, present ing a picture of abject misery and squalid wretchedness. Ile appeared perfectly sane, but gave no satisfactory rea son for his singular conduct, beyond a general charge that the world had treated bans badly, and he had determined to come out front it. lie protested that he had done no man harm, and begged to be allowed to continue his solitary life; but he finally agreel to go house with Mr. East rage.—Veto York Courier and Enquirer.
