Boston to the 24th ult., and from New York, by telegraph via Halifax, to the 25th. She brought 68 passen gers, among whom was Sir J. G. Le Marchanr, late Governor of Nova Scotia, and 253,714 dole. specie on freight. The Niagara experienced strong north east winds during the whole of the passage. On the 27th ult., at 1.30 a.m., she spoke the Royal. Mail steamship America, hence for Halifax and Boston. The United States' mail steamship Baltic arrived at New York on the 18th ult., and the Royal Mail steamship Africa on the 21st, from Liverpool, and the steamship Arago, from Southampton on the 23d. The Canadian mail screw . steamer Anglo- Saxon, from Liirerpool, arrived at Portland on the 23d ult. In Congress the question of Kansas was still iipperLoost. During - a discussion on the 23d Mr. Johnson and Mr. Bell had an altercation, which resul,ed iu the latter creating a sensation by saying that he was " ready to meet the Senator at any time, or aoy others who should back him." Wliai the papers denominate a "duel mania" was preva lent. A. Boston paper thus comments on the matter : " We era sorry to hear of so many gentlemen at , Washing-ten struggling under 'personal difficul ties.' When the great Congressional fracas was over, and Keitt came out of it less injured, or less ingenuous, than the renowned Yellow-plush came out of the house upon the sidewalk on a certain oc casion—for Chawles' c-indidly confessed, felt something behind ; I think it was master's toe'— and Birksciale's wig went down in the brunt of the flay ; we Fay when this was all over, and good humour appeared to be completely restored, we supp , sed there was to be no more breaking of the peace. But things have been waiting worse, until the clash of resounding arms' is awaited in every telegraphic despatch from the southward. A chal- lenge liar passed between Col. Sumner and Gen. Harney ; Gen. Cullo►n and Hon. J. B. Clay are said to be out on the field of honour ; Lieut. Bell, of the Cavalry, has summoned Lieut. 'Williams, of the Dragoons, to meet him wi h sanguinary weapons ; and ex-Lieutenant Rhind has been held to bail for extending a similar invitation to Commander Bout well. Thus they go—Congress, army, and nav), all furnishing irate representatives, p ugnaeio us with in an inch of their lives, and possibly an inch beyond." The intelligence respecting these " difficulties" had reached New York by telegraph as follows . " BOSTON, Feb. 21.--A recontre occurred at Parker's Hotel here this afternoon, the facts stated being as follows :—A Mr. L. D. Merrill, of this city, made a violent assault upon Mr. F. Birge, of New York, the former spitting in the latter's face, dn. Mr. Birge, after repairing to his room, again made his appearance, and c%lled on Mr. Merrill to account for the insult. A collision immediately took place, during which Mr. Birge discharged a pistol at Mr. Merrill, but without effect. They were separated, and both parties are now under arrest. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—A fisticuff altercation occurred yesterday morning in a barber's shop underneath Willard's Hotel between Lieut. Bell, of the Cavalry, and Lieut. Williams, of the Dra goons, which may result in a duel, a challenge having passed between them." A la er despatch says— " Lieuts. Bell and Williams, who bad a collision in a barb r's shop on Sunday, went beyond Bla densburg this morning, at 5 o'clock, accompanied by their respective friends. It is said that Bell fired at the word ' one,' the ball from his pistol penetrating Williams' hat. Williams, who was the assailing party, having given the satisfaction de manded, discharged his pistol in the snow. The belllger..nls returned to Washington apparently re conciled." But the greatest interest attaches to the dispute between the Hon, J. B. Clay and Mr. Cullom, the origin of which is explained by the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune : Cullom entered the bar-room of Brown's Hotel, where Clay, Hawkins, and Mason were standing. He proposed an old-fashioned Kentucky drink, in which all the parties participated. Subsequently he commenced conversation with Clay, sating how he had removed from Kentucky to near the Her mitage, in Tennessee, where he bearded the lion in his den. He spoke of his long devotion to the ad miration for his father. Mr. Clay answered by seying that General Leslie Coombs had once, as Chickasaw Ambessador, bearded the lion in his den. This expression, which some bystanders sup posed jocular, was regarded as an offensive report by Cullom, who asked if he meant to insult him. Clay disclaimed any such intention. The interro gatory was repeated, with the same reply, but was accompanied with the menacing use of Cullom's auger, when Clay said he was not accustomed to be addressed in such a threatening manner, or words to that effect. Cullom became more excited under the conviction of au intended insult to him, and denonuced Clay as the apostate son of a noble sire.' Clay said his physical condition was such as would prevent him from answering with a blow, but he could not resist proclaiming Cullom a d--d scoundrel. Whereupon Cullom drew back to strike. The force of the blow was partially arrested by tie spectators, but still reached Clay's nose and caused it to bleed. The two men then separated and withdrew. Clay called ou Senator Johnson, of Ark, to :let as his friend, and a peremp oty int-,sacre was communicated to Cullom, te which acceptance was signified so soon as a corupe ent second could be cnosen. At 1 o'clock no choice had been made." A telegram of the 22d says : " The efforts to reconcile the difficulty between the Hon. J. B. Clay and Mr. Cullom have proved abortive. They left Washington this afternoon at 5 o'clock, accompanied by their respective friends, for, it is said, a place about 40 miles distant. The probability is ant they will fight to-morrow. morning. Much excitement exists throughout the city regarding the affair. The United States' de puty marshals throughout yesterday and to-day vainly endeavoured to get on the track of Messrs. Clay and Cullom. Various absurd rumours are now iu circulation, but it is under stood that the challenge has been withdrawn, as preliminary to a peaceful adjuitment of the difficulties, which there is little, if any,. doubt will be effected accordi ng t o presen t i n dications." Another and a late r tel egram says : " There has been n o d ue l yet b e t ween Cl a y a n d Cullom ' and attempts ar e making for a settlement of the affair by a reference to Senators Crittenden, Toombs, and Kennedy. There is reason to fear, however, that these attempts will fail, and that there will be an exchange of shots." A further report was to the effect that the affair had been settled by Clay's withdrawal of the chal lenge, and the apology of Cullen]. Two other gentlemen, ex-Lieutenant; Rhind and Capt. Corrie, had been held to bail it the sum of 2,500 dols. each for their Appearance. before the criminal court for"ch"allenging and posting Com mander Bout well. The Tennessee Senate had been the scene of a fracas. One senator struck another in the face with a book for giving him the lie. A s3uffle ensued, but the parties were speedily separated. The slip John Miltou, bound from the Chincha Islands to New York, had been lost on Long Island. None of the officers or crew were saved. A shocking catastrophe had occurred atSt. A drug store under the Pacific Hotel took fire, and the flames enveloped the stairways, so as to cut off all egress. Some of the inmates were literally burnt in their beds ; others leaped from the windows, and were henibly mangled or ...killed by the falL Out of 100 persons in the house 29 were known to have been killed and six seriously injured, while many more were still missing. Five steamboats had been destroyed by fire at New Orleans. The whole of the shipping in port was at one time in a precarious condition. A bill had been Unanimously passed by the Ken tucky Legislature, and signed by the Governor, authorising the Executive of that State to raise a regiment of volunteers immediately, and to tender their services to the Prezident of the United States, to aid in suppressing the rebellion in Utah. The Jacksonville (Flori la) R e p u bli can recor d s the death of Mrs. Winnie rassiter, aged 130 years. She was a native of North Carolina. Lord Napier had publicly thanked the freemen and citizens of Washington for assisting to subdue a fire which broke out in his residence on the 11th ult. A despatch from Kansas of the 13th ult. says : " An act was introduced into the house on Feb. 12, supplementary to the Constitutional Convention Bill. It changed the time of the assembling of the convention from the 4th Tuesday in March to the 2d Monday in April. It gave the convention full power to say where the first general assembly under the constitution to be formed should meet, and when the constitution should be submitted to the people. This act passed both branches of the Le gislature, and was sent to the governor for his ap proval. He pocketed it, and will thus defeat it, as sufficient time does not remain for the Legislature tq take any action in regard to it, should the go vernor keep it three days. A miii is bill was y es _ torday passed over the governor's veto. This bill does not differ materially from the one passed at the extra session, except that the power to call out the militia, which was first given to tke Mi litary Board, is now reserved to the Governor. An election was held for a board of officers under this law. The old board, at the head of which is Major- Gin. J. H. Lane, was elected unanimously." 'The following resolutions were also passed I"Resolved, by the House of Representativ e s of Kansas, t r, h4a lle t te w r e ri d to o ry he o r f eby, solemnly pro tei3t against the admission cf Kansas int o th e U n i on under the Lecompton Constitution ; a n d we h ur l for te last time, the Council concurr i ng, back with scorn the libellous charge contained in the Message of the Pr-sident accompanying !the Lecompton Constitution, •to :the effect that the freemen of Kansas are a lawless people ; that, rely ing upon the justice of our cause, we do hereby, in behalf of the people, solemnly pledge to each other, to our friends ;n Congress and in the States, our lives, our f,rtiines, and our sacred honours, to resist the Lecompton Constitution and Government by force of arms if uece-sary that in this perilous hour of our history we appeal to the civilised world for the rectitude of our position, and call upon. the friends of freedom everywhere to array themselves against this lest set of oppression in the Kansas drama. That the Governor be requested immedi ately to transmit certified copies of this resolution to the President, Speaker of the House of Representa tives, and President of the Senate of the United States, and to our member in Congress, and that the same be presented to both branches of Congress. The res 'lutions passed the house unanimously. In the Council .they passed, receiving two negative votes—given by Messrs. Chalice and Mead. Mr. Chalice is an out-and-out Pro-Slavery man, which fact will explain his vote. Mr. Mead pretends to be a Free-State man, but belongs to that hunkerish class who would rather live under the Lecompton Constitution than protract the struggle by any re sistance. At exactly 12 o'clock last evening the Go vernor sent a message to the Huuse declaring that his connection with that body was dissolved. The Governor thinks that the time of the Legislature expired bylirnitation at 12 o'clock. The Legislature, however, takes a different view of the matter, and has decided to hold on till 12 o'clock to-day. At exactly a quarter past 11 o'clock last night it was stated to the House that the Constitutional Con vention Bill had been sent to the Governor three days before, and had not been returned. It was thereupon declared to be a law. The Legislature is holding over until to-day in order to remove any doubts that might exist in the minds of soma with regard to the legality of the Convention Bill," The 125th anniversary of the birthday of Wash ington had been celebrat e d w i th the usua l cere monies.

A New York paper announces that " Mother Boston," 105 years old, and " Daddy V assal, " 92 years of age, the last survivors of thos e s l aves of Massachussits who are made free by the decision of the Supreme Court of the State upon th e Consti tutiou of 1784, by which slavery in the State was declared to be illegal, are still enjoying life and comparative vigour in the city of Boston. In attempting to esc ipe from the - Sing. — Sing prison by means of the ice four convicts were shot, two mortally. Of the latter a New York paper says:— "They are both considered beyond the reach of human skill, though they may linger for some days. Quin [wears to suffer, and continually groans. Spence, though probably suffering quite as much as his companion, has more fortitude, and gives no outward evidence of what he suffers. Oc casionally he turns to Quin, and says, 'Do, for God's sake, stop making such a noise. We have got to croak (die), and we may as well be decent about it, and go game. Ar,d he appears so to con trol his own feelings as to assume a perfect indiffer ence as to the result of his rash attempt."

In the New York money-market on the 22d nit. the supply offering was so abundant that the rate of interest had again declined, loans on call ranging from 4 to 6 per cent. ; prime 60 to 90 days' bills from 5 to 6 per cent. ; first-class signatures 7 to 8 per cent. ; and other good bills from 8 to 9 per cent. The bank statement for the week showed a remark able gain in specie, the increase being 1,189,801 dols , making the total the largest ever held by the New York banks. The deposits had increased (deducting clearings) 1,911, 085 d - ds., the loans decreased 76,572 dole., through the scarcity of prime paper and the withdrawal of balances in specie by the resuming banks through out the South ; and th . circulation had decreased 64,653 dols. The stock-market closed firm with an upward tendency ; but it is stated that though there isfan undoubted appreciation of stocks there is too much speculation afoot. The New York Times reports that the negotia tions of Mr. Moran, in London, on behalf of the New York and Erie Railroad, bad advanced so far as to enable that gentleman to forward some Lon don credits, against the cash investments on the new mortgage, which would enable the management to resume the payment of interest on their funded obligations, as well as to retire the few remaining past due acceptances of the company. The. New York Tribune also reports favourably with regard to the American loans in the London market. It says that the aggregate subscriptions in New York and London amounted to about 3,200,000 dollars, and that the president of the Illi nois Central Road had received an offer for the entire balance of it, subject to the privileges of the holders of the July rights, and had accepted this proposition to the extent of 200,000 dole.

The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Times : Sir,—Assertion for assertion, I know not why Colonel Pottinger's should be considered of more value than that of other persons. 'r The character of Ali Moorad Khan, Colonel Pottinger says, was well known before Sir Charles Napier went to Scinde. It was so very favourably known, as the following communication from Sir James Outram to Sir Charles Napier, on the ar rival of the latter in that country, proves : " Outram.—' Ali Moorad is by far the best of the Ameers. I wish you knew him. He is good looking, a frank open manner that you cannot help liking. I wish you could see him, you would be pleased with him. At first he was quite opposed to us, and would have made war against us if the other Ameers had joined him ; however, seeing it was of no use to oppose us, he joined the alliance with us, and is the only one who has never given us cause of complaint. I am sure you will like him.' " W. NAPIER, Lieutenant-General. March 9." Frnis AT PORTSMOUTII.—On Tuesday morning a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Payne, hairdresser, Queen's-street, Port=mouth. The flames communicated to the hou-e of Mr. Richard Newland, a stationer and gilder, and thence made their way to the house of Mr. Foster, tailor, all of which were gutted. Fortunately the wind kept down, or more injury would have ensued. No lives were lost. "It is rumoured," says the Malta Times, "that a telegram has been received here from the authorities in Eoglaud to look to the state of the island defences ; and that in pursuance of that order a military commission is now sitting, of which the Lieut.-General commanding and the Colonels of the Royal Engineers and Royal .Ar• Wiry Are monabers.", THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL. The following additional items of news we select from the colonial papers received yesterday. THE HARVEST. The Melbourne Argus of Jan. 16 reports that the harvest promised to be one of the most abund ant yet gathered in the colony. Reaping-machines and steam threshing-machines were getting into general use. Respecting the labour market the Argus says : Just now all men of the labouring classes here are fully engaged. Until reaping commenced there were more seeking work than the farmers coul•! provide for, and had not the corn ripened more suddenly than was expected, the demand, even now, in the midst of the harvest, would have scarcely been equal to the supply. It was antici pated that the harvest would have been more pro tracted than usual, but the heat and dryness of the weather during the last few weeks have obliged the farmers to put on all the extra hands they could get, and make the most of the short time within which their reaping operations must be concluded. If not secured immediately when fit for the sickle, the overripe grain is quickly shed. Much of the wheat is usually lost for want of sufficient hands to cut it in time ; but no loss from this cause will be experienced during the present season. All the J men available are fully employed, but there is no deficiency of labour, unless it may be in a few of the outlying districts, the requirements of which are but small, and are likely to be quickly supplied after being publicly made known. Water is beginning to fail on the gold-fields, and there is a daily increasing number of men obliged to leave them, and seek employment elsewhere. Many of those are accustomed to farm work, and are but too glad to go to any part of the country in which their services may be in request. For a month or six weeks longer the harvest-field will afford employment to all who are fit for that de scription of work, after which period we much fear that the labour-market will begin to exhibit a ten dency to plethora. The quantity of work offering will be decreasing as the number of men seeking it will increase. The extra hands paid off by the farmers will have no other recourse than the public works to be undertaken, and these are not likely to be carried on very extensively.• From the gold fields they will be completely excluded until the winter rains have replenished the creeks and reser voirs. Respecting the extent of the public works that are likely to be carried on during the autumn and winter, it is impossible as yet to form a very defi nite opinion. Although at the time we write the labour market here is in a most satisfactory state, our readers in England who may think of coming hither must not calcnlate on finding it so in a few months hence. The national railroads, so long looked forward to as a means of providing employ ment for all, are likely to disappoint the general expectation in this respect, and our public men are so slow in their movements, that the evils of last winter may be experienced again before they have decided ou taking measures for their prevention. SOLD. With regard to the yield of gold, the Age of Jan. 16 says : " For several weeks we have received no startling intelligence from the diggings of new rushes and extraordinary luck. In fact, the occupation of the gold seeker is becoming every weak a less fortuit ous and a more arduous one. Men do not now be take themselves to the diggings with eager hopes an t d a fair promise of fortune ; they are driven thither by the scarcity of employment in the towns, and the difficulty of obtaining a livelihood, how ever scanty, anywhere else. The digger is giving p!ice to the miner, whose more elaborate opera tiOns require the outlay of capital, and the e'er ciSe of such moral qualities as patience and perse verance in the face of danger and disappointment —properties which were comparatively in small de mand in the days of surfacing and shallow sinking. The outfit indispensable to success, in the modern sense of the term—that is, not the sudden discovery ofa fortune, but the steady. realisation of a fair annual income, consists of far other implements thpn the primitive tub an d cra dl e —i n f ac t , t h e lottery of a digger's life is almost extinct, and whe ther as puddlers, quartz reefers, or deep-lead miners, men must be prepared to invest their capi tal in machinery, and to devote many weeks or months of toil to their shafts and drives before the precious product is secured. The - fortunate diggers of 1852 and 1853 wo u ld b e surpr i se d, were th ey to rejrisit the scenes of their luck, at the vast array of e ines and impleme n ts w hi c h h ave di sp l ace d the 'si pledishesand toms of th ose d a y s ;an d th ey wou ld b equally astounded at the value which is set upon buildings and tailings —upon masses of cement and ropk,!which they would have cast away as worthless, but which are now esteemed the surest depositories of,wealth. The auriferous earths which are avail able for ruder processes maybe far from exhausted, bait they lie beyond the bounds of our present diggings, or are found in rare and scanty patches which have been overlooked. Even the minimum yield per load or ton which machinery can render reinunerative is calculated by the dwt. rather than the oz., and considering the much greater cost of production in plant and libour, even the same gross yield of gold could not be regarded as indicating the equal richness of the lands. But with all our improvements in apparatus, with a large increase oe population and with new fields opening about every week, 'we find that the gross product has fallen off. RATE OF WAGES. The following rates of wages are now obtainable in the Melbourne labour market :- Married couples without families rate at 60/. to 701. per annum, ditto, with families, 55/. to 60/. ; gardeners, 65/. ; grooms, 501. to 60/. ; stockkeepers, 501. ; hut keepers, 25/. ; shepherds, 30/. to 35/. ; reapers, 20s. per acre or 355. per week ; ploughmen, 255. per week ; haymakers, 255. per week; mowers, 6s. to Bs. per acre ; farm labourers, 255. per week ; potato diggers, 255. per week or 255. per ton, with out rations ; shearers, 15s. to 17s. per 100 ; sheep washers, 20s. to 255. per week ; men to bind after the reaping machines, 30s. per week ; threshers, Bd. per bushel ; bullock drivers for roads, 255. per . weak - ; ditto for farm service, 20s. to 2 5 5. per week , horse-team drivers for roads, 20s. to 255. ; hay cutters and trussers, 105. per week, or Gs. 6d. per ton ; male cooks, 255. to 455. per week ; waiters,2os. to 308. per week ; blacksmiths and shoeing smiths, 30s. to 50s. per week ; carpenters, 355. to 40s. per week ; rough carpenters, 30s. per week.

THE " GREAT SOCIAL EVIL." It is a noticeable fact that, at the time our jour nals at home are discussing more frequently than usual " the great social evil" of our large cities, the same sad topic is exciting precisely the same attention and leading to the same remedial sugges tions at Melbourne. Public meetings have been held in the colony, and the deputations have had interviews with the Governor, with a view to the adoption of means for the repression of vice. The Argus states that female prostitution prevails throughout the Australian colonies " to a frightful extent." "It has been proposed here (says the Aryus) to establish a Female Home for the accommodation of virtuous young women, both on their first arrival in the colony and during their intervals of non-employment. But any measures of protection wo can devise here will be of little avail if the morality of our female immigra. tion be undermined before it reaches our shores. And it did not require the positive evidence adduced at the Melbourne meeting to establish the fact which many previou • s revelations had made notorious, that young female immigrants coming to these shores are subject to a succession of demoralising iuffuences, lasting through the whole currency of their voyage ; that they are ex posed, in the vast majority of cases, to a systematic loaonnd spiracy to corrupt th e m ; and that it is less than a miracle; for a young girl, sent'out to these distant shores w ithout matronly protection during the voya ge , to here the same incorrupt, pure-minded being that she was when she left her mother's roof. "All female emigration for the future ought to partake of a family character. If households cannot come out to Australia undivided, it is at least essential that no daughter of a family should be allowed to leave the shelter of the rooftree for this distant voyage without being placed under the protecting surveillance of some person of her own sex, of character and discretion. We should not acquit our eonaciencal if we did not impress this matter upon the earnest and anxious consideration of all persons in England Maooiated with schemes of female emigration • NEW SOUTH WALES. ,ca SYDNEr, Jan. 12.--In the Money 4 4 .-o,: l heW. considerable stringency stilt prevails, 04:1:142;j47 proapeet at present of augmenting, but a partial alteration has taken place in th 03-1)1 L interest. Two of the banks .the , Oriental,*nd English, Scottish, and Australian—charge 7 per cent. an bills discpune e d, haying 90 days to run, while the old institutions maintain the old rate of 6 per cent. Exchange ou London. ranges from to 1 per dent discount for purchasing hills. Dr afts issued at per cent. premium: Usanee, .60-clay's sight. It is understood that Mr. Henry Fisher, wine merchant, of this city, will shortly file Me schedule. His .liabilities are said to. exceed 120,0001. The firm of Purkis and Laisabert, auctioneers of some standing, is repotted to be involved with Fisher by endorsements on bills for nearly half this amount, and will not be able to work through. Another firm of a similar nature, but smaller, is also talked of as being likely to suspend. Otherwise our trad ing circle is in a sound and healthy state. The political world is fully occupied with the approaching general election—a dissolution of the Assembly having taken place last month in con sequence of the ministerial defeat on the Assess ment on Stock Bill, and numerous candidates for legislative honours are busy in the field. Alta ars. Cowper, Campbell, Wilshire, and Dailey, Mr. G. Thornton, ex-mayor, and a Mr. Fowler, parlia meutary reporter, are canvassing for the city. Two members of the ministry, Mr. Jones, Colonial Trea surer, and Mr. Murray, Secretary for Lands and Works, have resigned. The first vacancy has been filled by Mr. R. Campbell, but the Land Da psrtment is still without a head. The Sydney Exchange was formally opened on the 30th ult., by the Governor-General. 'Change hour is fixed at 2 p.m. to 2.30 p.m., and the attend ance has been good. The weather has been intensely hot for some time Past. On Christmas Eve a hat wind prevailed, during which the thermometer stood at 104 dogs. in the shade, and 143 degs. in a spot exposed to the sun and wind. This last resembled the biast from a furnace, and literally scorched the faces of those whom business compelled to go abroad. The announcement that the Panama line is not to be estsblished creates great dissatisfaction, not unmixed with just indignation. -Indeed this:colony has the strongest reason to complain of the shame ful Way in - which it has been treated in the matter of steam postal communication. However, we are determined to have the Panama route ; and if no English company will undertake it, perhaps our Transpacific cousins may be tempted by a liberal subsidy to run a steamer monthly to the Isthmus. With regard to the Suez line, it is now quite clear that. if the present company does not improve in its arrangements and performances, this colony will cease to be a party to the contract. In the Sydney Morning _Herald of January 9, we read :—" The first responsible parliament of New South Wales is dissolved. It was an utter impossi bility for the ministry successfully to carry on the government. Their Land Bill, the cardinal mea sure in the minds of the people at present, they were compelled to withdraw, while the new Assess ment Bill, on which they depended for a large amount of revenue, was defeated by a majority of two. The division was followed by an adjournment, subsequently by the prorogation of the assembly, and finally by its dissolution. This step, though it did not take the country by surprise, has created no small amount of complaint against the ministry. First, because it was with reason believed that the dissolution might well have stood over until the Electoral Bill was passed ; and second, because the several measures of urgency, such as the Municipalities Bill and the District Courts Bill, which were so advanced in their stages through the legislature, that they. might without any inconvenience have been completed before the legislature was dissolved. The abrupt manner too, in which the assembly was dismissed, without a word of excuse or apology from the minister, created great dissatisfaction. Tho excitement now is as to the result of the new elections, which will commence next week and ter minate about the end of February. On Wednesday the new Exchange was opened— a great event in the annals of the colony. This ceremony was performed by S , r William Denison, at noon. His excellency was attended by the prin cipal officers of the executive, and there was a large and brilliant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, with the customary guard of honour outside. Such members of the consular body as the committee had selected by invitation to assist at this ceremony were also present. There were addresses from the Exchange Company and from the Chamber of Com merce, with a suitable reply from his excellency. There wero also addresses, and very able ones, from the consuls of France and the United States —the former on behalf of the f ore i gn consu l s as a bodY, and the latter in the name of his own great and prosperous nation, with which our commercial relations are so much more extensive than with any other. Both gentlemen dwelt upon the importance of the occasion, upon the great political influence of commerce, and upon the necessity of such a liberal system of finance as would promote its growth. The electric telegraphs, which have their termini in the Exchange-building, were also opened on the same occasion. SYDNEY LABOUR MARKET. PZIDAY, January 8. As we anticipated, the advent of the new year has improved the general prospects and dema❑d in the la. bour market of this colony. Agricultural occupations are being steadily pursued, and, through the wool market in London offering so good a sale for pastoral produce, settlers appears to be turning their attention to sheep in preference to cattle. This morning I received an advice from a gentleman who is about to turn five of his cattle stations into sheep runs ; and from the quantity of cattle now going overland to the Melbourne side, men for that (Inployment, have been, and are still in favour, at from 203. to 40s. per week. The current requirements coinprire, amongst others, married couples, without families, or with growing boys ; single men as agricultu• ral labourers; useful young men, and light-weigit lads ; and we anticipated a heavy demand within the next month for pastoral hands for the northern and southern districts. Young men are in casual request for grooming, gardening, cutting wood, clearing, and if handy at tools so much the better ; team drivers ; and during the past month the supply of female servants Las been utterly inadequate to the demand. There are many other parties who come to these colonies, strung you❑g men, ~,ho have been brought up to no business, but some of whom being versatile in their habits, can turn their hands to anything, and eventually succeed well. OLIVER STAIYES, British and Foreign Labour Agent. THE SLIQO ELECTION.

" No notice whatever was taken of the comments of the learned judge who addressed the jury respecting the means by whicis they were placed in the box, he having never known in his experience of the same course being taken in the privilege of cmpanneling a jury. And well might he say so, when five Roman Catholics were tried by a j'iry of 12 decided partisans, all of them Protestants, and a large majority Orangemen, while 19 of their co• religioll,ts, highly respectable men, were set aside by th parties conducting the prosecution. Nor was there the slightest hint given that the counsel for the defence gave notice of appeal, and that Judge Christian declared it was a most proper case for the Court of Appeal.
