THE New York Herald mentions a report that several Americans, headed by ex-Alderman Wesley Smith, of that city, accompanied by a Russian officer, left in the Baltic on her last outward trip, to engage in a contract with Russia to destroy British and French ships of war that approach near enough to Russian ports by means of Taylor's sub marine armour and Colt's submarine battery. They have also an invention called the catapult, a vessel with double bows, armed with long sharp iron beaks, to break the sides of hostile ships. It will be propelled by steam, which drives a wheel in her bottom. It is so arranged that jets of scalding water are thrown from the vessel on all attempt ing to board her. THERE has been a large emigration of lawyers to Aus tralia, and, from inquiries made by correspondents as to the regulations for practice there, it would appear that many are contemplating the same step. Let us give to such a timely warning. There lies now before us a letter from a young lawyer who had gone to the land of gold with the fullest confidence that fortune was to be certainly and easily secured. Bitter has been his disappointment. He finds that lawyers are but little wanted there; that for such business as there is the competitors are so numerous that no one can thrive. He has been obliged to turn his hand to labours for which he had received no previous training. The day-labourer was better off by far than the barrister or the attorney. He had seen gentlemen belong ing to both branches of the profession glad to earn a main tenance as porters, ostlers, and waggoners—even as domestic servants. Trade, too, is overdone, and is not profitable, because everything is so expensive. Let those of our readers who may have entertained thoughts of enii gration to Australia pause before they resolve ; and, if they go, it should not be as lawyers, or with any hope to thrive by the law—Lato Times. Vontg fact alb Citg luttiligtrat. FRIDAY EVENING. THE week opened with doubts as to whether bills and other securities falling due on the day of humi liation could be legally presented for payment the day before, or what would be the proper course to pursue; but on investigation it was discovered that the Government officials had committed an error, and an amended proclamation removed the diffi culty. Consols, which were first quoted at 87* to 1, advanced to 871 to f, and closed 87* to R. Exche quer Bills and India Bonds were as they have been for weeks, the former from par to 4s. pm., the latter from ss. dis. to par. On Tuesday the market was weaker, and in Con sols the supply of stock was abundant. The opera tions were numerous, and the latest price was from 87f to }. The drain of gold is becoming ser ious.
