The greatly' increasing pDpulation, the commerce, the pastoral, and agricultural riches of the colonies of New South Wales and Vic toria, the great success of the banks already established in Sydney, Nelbourne, and Geelong, together with the extraordinary yield of the gold mines of these colonies, justly warrant the establishment o a New Australian Bank, with branches in such towns as may appear expedient. It has therefore been proposed to form a new banking association, to he entitled the Royal Australian Banking and Gold Importing Company, to be incorporated under a Royal Charter. Tile capital to be 250,0001., in 50,0'20 shares of M. each, on which a deposit of ;1. each shall be paid, and no further call to be made until the Royal Charter shall have been obtained, and not then, except by a resolution agreed to by a majority at a general meeting of Shareholders, to be called together for that intreose, by three regular advertisements in the " Times," and three other Lon don daily newspapers. The proposed Company intend to establish an office in London for the purpose of regulating and directing the general affairs of the Company, and to open a Bank at Sydney, with branches at Melbourne, and, if expedient, at Geelong, and other populous towns. The bank and the branches to carry on the ordinary' business of banking by disirenting hills, issuing notes under the provisionsgranted by Charter, advancing money on undoubted security, and also on consignment of gold ore and refined gold to the Company in London; and purchasing gold in the colonies of New South Wales and Victoria, together with the transaction of such other business as may be safely and legitimately conducted by a Bank. To avoid losses by fraud or neglect of duty, the managers, and all persons ap pointed by the Bank, will have to give competent security for their fidelity a n d g oo d con d uct i n those colonies.

AMERICAN and BRITISH TIMBER and COTTON LAND COMPANY. Capital 400,0001., distributed as follows, vie.:- 70,000 Preferential Shares of 2/. each, 140,0001., bearing a preferen tial interest of 8 per cent. 13,000 Ordinary Shares of 201. each, 260,0001., already issued in the United States. This Company has been established for the purpose of purchasing a large tract of valuable forest land in the State of Georgia, consist ing of 1,012,000 acres, and covered with a luxuriantgrawth of yellow or pitch pine timber of very superior quality and size. The tract comprises upwards of 16,000 square miles ; it is inter sected by rivers navigable for vessels of a large class, and is in close proximity to the ports of Darien, Jefferson, Burnt Fort, and Bruns wick, on the Atlantic Ocean, affording ready means of shipment, as well as every considerable local market. The timber has an established character in the markets of the United States, and commands a higher price than the produce of the northern forests. It is extensively used for ship-building, rail ways, and other purposes, and is of great durability and excellence. Its value is being continually enhanced by the rapid exhaustion of the pine forests of the northern states. A r 'iln-ay is in course of construction thrdugh the property. The soil is of great fertility, is unusually free from swamps, and therefore more th a n common ly sa l u b rio u s. The land when cleared is susceptible of cultivation for cotton, Indian corn, and other products. The timber on the estate is of very great value. It is pro posed, by the erection of saw-mills, to convert it for the Ame rican and British markets; and returns, based upon very mode rate calculations, show very great profits to the proprietors ; and the land when cleared will also realise a very large return upon the capital. The title is derived from the Government of Georgia, and is vested in the names of three highly-respectable gentlemen as trustees for the. shareholders. Of the proposed capital of the Company 260,0001. is taken by the vendors in shares postponed in respect of dividend to the preferen tial sh,,res now proposed to he issued, and of which 30,000 shares are already engaged. In effect, therefore, the holders of the shares now to be issued, and amounting to the small sum of 140,0001., will exclusively receive all the profits of this vast property until they have cleared 8 per cent., with the prospect of further dividends afterwards. The Company will be managed in the United States by a highly respectable Board of Direction, and in England by a Board of Agency, by whom the stock created in America will be delivered, and thus no liability can accrue beyond the amount subscribed. Prospectuses and plans of the district may be had at the Com pany's temporary offices, No. 4, Princes-street, Bank ; and at the brokers' ot the Company, Messrs. 11, &lad W. Kitchens and Harrison, stock and sharebrokers, 18, Threadneedle-street, where applications for Shares may_ be n!ade. RICHARD RUEGG, Secretary pro tern. 4, Princes-street, Bank, London. SALT and Co's. EAST INDIA PALE ALES. As a general rule, SALT and Co. have been content to let their Ales speak for themselves ; but the agitation which has been going on for the last few weeks in the shape of what may be called the STI:YCIININE CONTROVERSY, has placed them in a position which seems now to call for a few remarks. It was perhaps not to be wondered at that the public should be a little started on the first intimation that they were drinking poison every day without knowing It; but that a report so vague, so ground less, and so manifestly absurd, as that on which the charge of using STRYCHNINE in the manufacture of PALE ALES was founded, shouldhave more than a merely temporary effect, appeared to them per fectthei their opinion, i c n r i e o d n, ib l a e l . 1 At that a a t n s y h rate, e a a simp lesion r e,idueinr e i denial Such denial ofe imputation they w g a a s v was, together with the other Brewers of Burton, by publishing a declara tion to the effect, that nothing besides MALT, HOPS, and WATER, had ever been used in the composition of their Ales; and they have all along considered it beneath the proper dignity of a respectable house to do more than this. They have been compelled, however, in self-defence, to go somewhat beyond their own conviction on this point, by the extraordinary manner in which some others in the trade have so pressed their own particular Ales upon the notice of the public, as to convey the idea that no others are genuin e . It i s, therefore, alike due to themselves and their friends, to mak e t h e fact known, that whenever a fair opportunity has offered of submitting their Ales to the test of analysis, they have sought to avail themselves of it; though in one instance alone has this privilege been afforded them, namely, in the case of Mr. PEPPER, Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Polytechnic Institution, whose Certificate they subjoin ; indeed, such has been the spirit in which some of these analyses have been conducted, as to make it evident that the object was rather to serve private interests than to satisfy- the public mind. Still, even this might have been done without making invidious comparisons, calculated to damage the fair name of others. SALT and Co. now take leave of the subject in the full persuasion that they will eventually lose nothing in the estimation of the public by the comparative silence they have maintained during this long the ca l h igher profession ground as and, as it appears to them, frivolous controversy. W ere it needful, of fr c o o m nsc P i they could produce ampl e t es ti monyto the purity of their ales, as well conscious te rectitude, individuals; an d abut charac terthey of fifty years' standin g , from pre fe prefer t t h a e l i me d i ng Their Ales may be had, as usual, either direct from the Brewery, Burton-on-Trent, or from any of their agents, in casks of eighteen gallons and upwards.

U.'he dates of the advices by this arrival are—Calcutta, June 2; Bombay, June 5; and Madras, JtiDO' 10: - The followi ng i s a autistaaey of a correspondent at Bombay:— " Our latest a ccounts from Rangoon extend to the terrible, 14theef May. Th e h eat had been but the rains the troops rem were cemmencin g . Ch olera had almost disappeared, and geaerally in good health. The Burmese had made no further attempt to molest them. The river had,ben reconnoitred in the direction of Prome by the smaller steamers of the flotilla, and found to be toe shaltow at this (-he driest) season of the year, to admit of the r :usapi -of any but fist-bottomed boats. The principal result of the recannoisaece was the discovery of the whereabouts of the late Governor of Rangoon, and the capture of his state yacht, together with her escort of hams and a consalerable amount of other' property. The fl oil la of the Goiernor of Della was also taken; it contained some of the ladies of his family, and a con siderable amount of treasure. •• On the 7th, four eteatners and about 500 troops, tuideF Cohinel Apthorpe, were seen to beat up the ex- Mtinsb . ee, a pl a c e seven miles inland fr om a p o i n t on t h e Governor'd q uarters. They came in sight of him at river abOur 40' miles aba te R angoon; he had about h et question. escaped and three n d t g i hn o est l considerable d oehvet u hea m ret amount a b jls r uom e n l gleanl terrible,es w was enr o de f captured,ttbl l ha a gU t gtll' B bit were ete : a hehl4 s esh o tOi : I: e t or,:v o struck dead by the sun. . " General Godwin, with,, a. strong detachment of troops and some steamers, was about to leave Rangoon for a few days for the purpose of reducing Bassein, a toes which gives its name to the westernmost branch °f a t-69- - irra • w a.Cid-Yepalta e a to „alma eanfektf -Rangoon,, the Peguese had risen.on the Burmese levies and driven them out of the country, and they were said to have ap plied. to us for aid to prevent their return. The most contiadictory rumours were afloat regarding the Burmese policy. By one account the King of Ava is dead, and all is attarchrat his capital. By another, he is alive, but has been kept by the Governor of Rangoon in total ignorance of all that has occurred; and a third report is to the effect that he has written a warlike letter to General Godwin, and has dispatched his brother-in-law from Ava with 20,000 troops to - drive the English into the sea. ' All that regards the future is at present the mi rest surmise, but in the best informed quarters the chances are considered in favour of a set tlement being effected without the necessity of any fur ther military operations. Should these, however, be un avoidable, two European regiments, her Majesty's 86th and the 2d Bombay Europeans, with a troop of Horse Artillery, will probably be sent from Bombay, and three or four Native Infantry regiments, either from that pre sidency or iron Calcutta, a sufficient number of the Bengal regiments having recently volunteered for service in Burmah. " Sir Colin Campbell is carrying on a''Aittle campaign in the valley of the Swat river (the principal northern affieent of that of Caboul), -with about 4,000 troops and ten guns. The force hashed Some severe hand-to-hand fighting, in which both officers and men have behaved with distinguished gallantry. On the 13th the hill fort of Itrangbur, on the threshold of the valley, was stormed. On the 17th the enemy came down in force into the Raneezad valley to attack us. Oa the 13th Sir C. Campbell moved forward end attacked them. They stood their.gronnd well for some time, but at length gave.way and fled, leaving 130 dead bodies on the field. Sir C. Campbell intended to march into Swat on the 23d of May. His force was not expected to return to camp for some time. " The news from Cabul is important. Herat has for some time been in dispute between the son of Yar Ma homed, hacked by the -Persians, and the Kandaharee Sirdars, backed by Dost- Mahomed. 10,000 Persian troops; were on their way to assist Yar Mahomed's son, and Dot Mohamed had dispatched hi s own son, Gholane Hyder, with a large body of troops, to the assistance 'of the - Kandaharee faction. The factions, however, joined battle without wait ing for the arrival of their' respective allies. The Herattee army, under Yar Mahomed's son, numbered 12,000 or 13,000, the Kandaharee force rather less. After eight hours' fighting, the latter were defeated, with a loss of 2,000 men, and obliged to retreat to Kan dahar. Oa learning the result, both the Persian and Affghan force halted for further orders. It may be hoped, therefore, that a collision between them will be avoided. " No improvement has taken place in the state of the Nizam's territory. " The public were startled the other day by the in formation that the King of Gude was preparing for war with the British Government. It since appears that this demonstration (which actually occurred) is entirely to be attributed to the King's insanity, and that his Ma jesty has now foriotton the hallucination. " Calcutta, with the south and east of Bengal, was visited on the 14th and 15th of May by a violent hurri cane, which has done immense damage to property. In. Calcutta alone, according to the chief magistrate's re turns, 2,657 thatched cottages, 526 tiled ones, and 40 large and strong houses were destroyed by it Eight . of rain fell in a few hours at Dumdum. The monumental pillar to the m emory o f t h e ar tillery who fell at Cabul was thrown down. " The appointment of Mr . J.

The hurricane caused much destruction among trees, out-offices, and villages. In violence it was only inferior to that of 1842. In the upper provinces prospects at present promise well. The Bombay express, with London news to the Bth of April, came in on the afternoon of the 14th of May, and the Oriental steamer, with London dates to the 24th of April, arrived on the evening of the 29th ult. The commercial in telligence by these opportunities is, upon the whole, satis factory; the consumption of produce was upon the increase; the stocks in the hands of retail dealers reduced; the accounts from the continental markets favourable, while money conti nued plentiful and extremely easy. With some exceptions, our export market has been compa ratively quiet during the past month. A good demand has existed for sugar, which has been stimulated to greater acti vity by the London advices of the 24th of April. Saltpetre continues to go forward freely, although prices have given way about 4a. on the finer refractions. Rice has been shipped moderately to Great Britain. The safflower market is in full activity at unchanged ppeerriatlttiisghtleespathsseing NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE. MALTA, JULY 11.—The Ripon, with the homeward India mail, arrived this morning.

The Scourge was to proceed to Alexandria and Beyrout, whence she would return to Corfu, and the Modesto (Lord Compton) set sail for Constantinople. The Arabian screw steamer, which was towed in a short time ago by the Phcebe, having tried her engines on Friday, it was found they were out of order, and she could not make way. Being taken in hand again by the dockyard people, they worked all night on her, and yes terday she left port at half-past two P.R. She had hardly, however, reached seven miles on her homeward trip before she made signals for assistance, and they be ing reported to Admiral Harvey he ordered the Medina to get up her fires and assist.

The Diligence naval transport arrived at Spithead this morning from Devonport with stores. The Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain L. T. Jones, has had her compasses adjusted to-day. The Stirling Castle, 72, hulk for convict service. will be unlocked to-morrow and placed alongside the dock yard, to further complete her fittings. SHEERNESS, JULY 15 —Her Majesty's iron screw steam-troop ship Megmra, Commander John Johnson, will be under the hands of the dockyard for several weeks. A party of men from the Woolwich factory are employed in repairing her boilers. Daring her late pas sage from the Cape of Good Hope she steered badly; some alterations in the form of her rudder are to be made to remedy that defect. Her Majesty's paddlewheel steam-vessel Wildfire, Mr. Brockman, second master, commanding, has resumed her duties of tender to the Waterloo flag-ship, and con veyed to Chatham, yesterday morning, Captain G. R. Mundy, of the London, and others of the port officers, ordered to attend a survey ou invalids sit Melville Hes pital. Her Majesty's ship Vestal, 26, Captain C. B. Hamilton, is reported to be completed by the shipwright s of the dockyard on the 17th inst. Her sides have been scraped, and the painters are at work on her. Captain Hamilton has been indisposed for some days past, and was yes terday removed from his apartments at Smithson's Hotel, Bank's-town, to Melville Hospital, for medic's' treatment. Mr. Alldridge, paymaster of the Vestal, arrived on Tuesday, and having taken up his commission, proceeded on 48 hours' leave of absence. The middle dock of the fitting basin is ordered to be widened at the west end, so as to admit of the largest class steamers being taken in for the purpose of effecting necessary repairs. The contract for the works has been taken. The expense of the alteration will be very trifling. The Lords of the Admiralty are expected here on Saturday next on an official visit to the dockyard and ships in port. PLYMOUTH, THIIRSDA.Y.—Her Majesty the late Queen of the French, the Duke and Duchess Montpensier, the Duke de Nemours, and the Spanish Ambassador and suite, will arrive here by the Great Western Railway and South Devon Express this afternoon. The Spanish frigate is ordered from Portsmouth to this port, to em bark the ex-Royal Family for Spain.

The bulk of the busi ness, amounting to about 1,215 bales in mule twist, was done in the first half of the month ; latterly very few transactions have taken place in that staple. German dye yarn con tinues to be sold freely; but scarcely anything has been done in the British dye. Copper has fallen about 4 annas per md. in value. Iron remains firm. Spelter has given way 4 annas to 5 annas per md. Lead is dull and without report of sale. Tin plates are in good inquiry and look ing up. There has been very little demand for bills of exchange, and rates have consequently had an upward tendency. Our quotations at goiug to press were 2-014 for credits, with hardly any takers at that rate, and 2-0% to 2-1 for documents. The money market remains abundantly supplied, and loans are available on easy terms. In Company's paper New Fives are wanted at 5-4 premium. Transfer paper has fallen to 7-0 to 7-4 premium. The Four per Cents. are difficult of sale, and not easily moved at our quotations of 88-12 to 89-0 for the Siccas, and 90-8 to 91-0 for the Company's. The Bank of Bengal is not likely to make any further reduction in its rates of interest and discount. Shares of that bank are worth 6,600, but very few are for sale. Freight gradually fell to about 5-0 per ton since the date of our last report, but within the last few days they have recovered what they had lost. CANTON MARKET REPORT.

Up to the present time we are glad to be able to re port favourably as to the condition of the troops. General Jervois has issued an ordinance with the object to prevent desertion, cases of which have been numerous. The corps of artillery about to embark for England arc still detained for want of conveyance. We have to notice a tragical event in the case of the American ship Robert Bowne, Captain Bryson, bound from Amoy to California with shout 400 Coolies, who after a few days' departure took the vessel, having mur &red the captain, officers, and part of the crew. The vessel was retaken, after a large portion of the Coolies had landed on an island off Formosa, and brought back to Amoy, with 21 Coolios still on board. The Hon. Company's steamer Semiramis and her Majesty's brig Lily left Amoy in search of those who had landed, but bad weather obliged the former to return to Hong -Kong; the latter got into safe anchorage. The Semiramis left again for Arnoy on the Ist inst. Her Majesty's brig Con test, from Shanghai, joined her Majesty's brig Lily, and succeeded in taking most of the Coolies, and brought them to Am o y, Th e Lil y was to proceed to Shanghai on the 18 th, and the Contest arrived here on the 19th. The alleged cause of disaffection among the Coolies was the cutting off their tails and other ill-treatment ; but there were some des perate characters on board, who, it is re ported, shi pped with the view of taking the vessel, supposing th ere to be • board. a quantity of gold on The English ship Baron Renfrew was brought into harbour a few days ago by her Majesty's s teamer Sphynx, owing on to some dissatisfactionboardwhicha rranged through the senio r naval officer , , w" ' ndthe r, Captain Massie, a vessel left again on the 19th.
