The greatly increasing p3pulation, the commerce, the pastoral, and agilcultural riches of the colonies of New South Wales and Vic toria, the great success of the banks already established in Sydney, Melbourne, and Geelong, together with the extraordinary yield of the gold mines of these colonies, justly warrant the establishment o f 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 be entitled the Royal Australian Banking and Gold Importing Company, to be incorporated tinder a Royal Charter. The capital to be 250,0001., in 50,000 shares of 5/. each, on which a deposit of I/. 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 reeolution agreed to by a majority at a general meeting of Shareholders, to be called together for that purpose, 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 discounting bills, issuing notes underthe provisions granted 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 they 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 in England for their fidelity and good conduct in those colonies. A great part of the above capital being already subscribed, the Royal Charter has been applied for, and is under consideration of the Board of Trade, and the Deed of Settlement will be completed when the remaining shares are subscribed, and the deposit of 11. per share paid to the bankers.

We have received our letters and papers in anticipa tion of the overlandamail. The dates of the advices by this arrival are — Calcutta, •Juno 2; Bombay, June 5; and Madras, June 10. , The followin g i s ' a summary of a correspondent at Bombay:— " Oar latest accounts from Rangoon extend to the 14th of May. The heat had been terrible, but the rains were commencing. Cholera had almost disappeared, and the trOops were generally in good health. The Burmese had made no further.attempt, to molest them. The river had been reconnoitred in the direction of Promo by the smaller Steamers of the flotilla, and found to be too shalloW at this (che driest) season of the year, to admit of the passage of any but • flat-bottomed boats. The principal result of the reconnoissnce was the discovery of the whereabouts of the late Governor of Rangoon, and the capture of his state yacht, together with her escort of boats ancl_a considerable amount of other property. The flotilla of the Governor of Della was also taken; it contaitieek some of the ladfee of his family, and a con siderable amount of treasure. -` On the 7th, four steamers and about 500 troops, under Colonel Apthorpe, - were seen to beat up the ex- Gevet;ades -quarters., - They came in sight of him at Mumbee, a place seven miles inland from a point on the river about 40 miles above Rangoon; be had about 1,500 men with him, and a considerable amount of baggage;, the latter, with 'three old umbrellas, was eaptured;but the Governor escaped i g nto . the jungle, and the troops were so exhausted, and the heat so terrible,- that pursuit was out of the Several men were struck dead by the sun. " General' Godwin - wit a s t rong d etac h ment of 'iiijofirritrid 'treble istets:tierii-,"-a#Vittriii4 to leaviiiitingoon, for a few days for atm purpose of reducing Bassein, a 1 town which giv , -s its made to the westernmost branch of the Irrawaddy Delta;` to the east of 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 contradictory rumours were afloat regarding the Burmese policy. By one account the King of Ava is dead, and all is anarchy at his capital. By another, he is alive, but has been kept by - the Governor of Rangoon in total ignorance or 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 Ave with 20,000 troops to drive the Eoglish into the sea. All that regards the future is at present the merest 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 trona Calcutta, a sufficient number of the volunteered for ser v i ce B in en D g u a r l m re a g h. imentshaving recently nrmd. clear duustt twoyt Ile 8e n t .

A fair-faced the artillery, but whether he was a European or Armenian could not be discerned. The number of Burmese bayoneted shows how bravely the Burmese remained at their posts. Their loss is calculated at 800. The gunnery from the ships was terrific and most effectual ; considering our small numbers, our loss is considerable too. The officers of the 51st were wounded. Major Errington, commanding the whole party , was struck in the thigh by a spent round shot. Captain Rice and Lieutenant Carter were wounded. the lat ter severel the 51st were killed and about 25 wounded. Lieutenant y, having the ball still in his thigh. Two men of Ansley, of the 9th Nativelnfantry, was wounded in the hand, the ball flying up into his arm, where it remained ; one naick of that regiment was killed and 11 wounded. Of the little body of 18 gallant Sappers under Lieutenant Ford, though they were in the thick of it, not one was touched. A gallant captain of the 51st had the greater part of one of his whiskers carried away by the roots. Fifty-eight pieces of cannon, ranging from 3 to 24 pounders, and upwards of 20 jingals were taken, and an immense number of war boats were sunk and burnt. While the military were at work on the right, the naval brigade landed on the left, and took a strong work there in which Lieutenant Rice, of the wounded. The four companies of the 3th were Fox, was maindtir of be 9th are to be sent from this to garrison Bas sein immediately- ' This will leave us very weak indeed ; as it is, the 35th Native Infantry have so few officers (only two companies of the 51st.

Sickness among the native troops is on the decrease.' ' , . " Sir Colin Campbell is carrying on Clittle campaign in the valley ot the Swat river (the principal northern affluent ot that of Caboul), with about 4,000 troops and ten guns. The force has had some severe hand-to-hand fighting, in which both officers and men have behaved with distinguished gallantry. On the 13th the hill fort of Pranghur, on the threshold of the valley, was stormed. On the 17th the enemy came down in force into the Rineezad valley to attack us. On the 13th Sir C. Campbell moved forward and attacked them. They stood their ground well for some time, but at length gave way and ficd, 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 Cabral is important. Herat has for some time been in dispute between the son of Yar Ma homed, backed by the Persians, and the Kandaharee Sirdars, backed by Dost Mahoraed. 10,000 Persian troops were on their way to assist Yar Mahomed's sun, and Dost Mohamed had dispatched his own son, Gholam 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 hourb' fighting, the latter were defeated, with a loss of 2,000 men, and obliged to retreat to Kan dahar. On 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 Oude 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, end that his Ma jesty has now forgotton 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 cottag es , 526 t il e d ones, and 4 0 large and strong houses w ere d estroye d by it. Eight inches of rain fell in a few hours at Dumdum. The monumental pillar to the memory of the artillery who fell at Cabul was thrown down. " The appointment of Mr. J.

Indigo—The hurricane which passed over Calcutta and the eastern parts of Bengal on the 14th and 15th ult. has done much less damage to the plant than was anticipated, and its effects are not likely to affect the ultimate result, what ever that result eventually may be. In fact, it was only in particular localities, such as low and " cbur" lands, that any real damage occurred, and the injury d one i n those places and elsewhere is becoming rapidly effaced u n d er t h e influ ence, of a hot sun and genial weather. The October plant particularly in the district of Dacca, suffered most, but the sowings of that plant were, fortunately, less than usual, owing to the excessive dearness and bad quality of the seed then obtainable. The tempest was confined to a secti on of Bengal, but the rain which accompanied it extended to Bhangulpore, Tithsot, and other places, and has greatly im proved the plant in those districts. 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 th e 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 contin en t a l mar k ets f avoura bl e , w hil e mone y cont., 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 value. The partial failure of the March bund has limited the supplies of raw silk, which is in good demand, particularly native kinds. More silk piece goods have been going for ward, holders having at last acceded to the offers of shippers. The value of linseed is fully maintained. Opium is quiet. The next sale will take place on the 10th instant. With the exception of gray shirtings and jaconets, which have been placed at reduced prices to a large extent, our im port market has been dull and depressed, prices having had markets are discouraging. a downward tendency. Advices from the up-country fall in value of 2 annas to p ings amount to 1 51, a 0 g O l O ng. pieces since the Bth ult., showing a The reported sales of gray shirt quality.

Low bleached jaconets are in good but the better qualities have partaken of the decline on te Lappets remain dull, and the business done in thei hasys been for immediate wants. Bookmuslins, owing to the Bur mese war, are nearly unsaleable, with increasing stocks.

The bulk of the busi ness, amounting to about 1,215 bales in mule twist, was done in the first halt 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 going to press were 2-0 , / 2 for credits, with hardly any takers at that rate, and 2-0 7 ti 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 74 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.

One of th e most fearful conflagrations that has occurred in the city of London for some time past broke out laic evening, between the hours of six and seven o'clock, and' iiri, dependently of destroying a vast amount of property , v i l „: attended with fatal consequences to two of the firemen s longing to the London Fire Establishment, in juries to several others. e , gaydon- The scene of this melancholy catastrophe w v are con square, where the Blackwell Railway Conn i ."

The sight which then presented itself was one that can with difficulty be described, for eve r y flo or , from the front to the extreme back, was wrapped in flames, which shot forth in v ast s h eets, curling round the window-sills, end on meet ing with such obstructions fell backwards half over the square, so as to penetrate one of the large houses used as offices ou the northern aide of the square, and some others at the south side. The firemen saw the only chance remaining of saving any of the many contiguous buildings was to convey the hose from their respective engines completely round the structure on fire. This they accomplished in a very brief period, and had just got into admirable working order, when the roof f e ll in, which caused three of the upper floors to drop. The CHINA. The news from Cbins is_not of particular intere The murderers of Cap t a in Lawsen, of the Herald, were executed on the 3d of May. Since the Ist of January, 13,806 Chinese had left Hong-Kong for California. An execution of 53 criminals had taken P l ace at Canton . With regard to the rebe llion, it is stated to be spreading. The great Tartar Gene ral, Wal antai , is reported t o have died of wounds receive d in an engagement with th e rebels. HONG the o-KoNo, ArAy 24.—The mail steamer arrived hemorning of the 9th in s t., b r i ng i ng us dates from England to the 24th of March. The semi-monthly mail was received on the 7th inst. 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 are 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 about 400 Coolies, who after a few days' departure took the vessel, having mur dered the captain, officers, and part of the crew. The vessel was retaken, after a l a r ge p or ti on o f the Coolies had landed on an island off F ormosa , an d b roug h t b ac k to Amoy, with 21 Coolies still on board. The Hon. Company's steamer Semiramis and her Majesty's brig Lily left Amoy in search of thuse who had landed, but bud weather obliged the former to return to Hong• Kong; the latter got into safe anchorage. The Semiramis left again for Amoy on the lst inst. Her Majesty's brig Con test, from Sh angha i , j o i ned her Majesty's brig Lily, and succeeded in taking most of the Coolies, and brought them to Amoy. The Lily was to proceed to Shanghai on the 18th, and the Contest arrived here on the 19th. The alleged cause of disaffection among the Cooli es was the cutting off their tails and other ill-treatment ; but there were some des perate characters on board, who, it is re ported, shipped w i t h the view of taking the vessel, supposing there to be a quantity of gold on board. The English ship B aron Renfrew was brought into harbour a few days ago by her Majesty's s t eamer Sphynx, owing to some dissat isfaction on board, w hi c h was arranged through the senior naval officer, Captain Massie, and the vessel left again on th e 1 9th. The French steamer C ass i ni and the corvette Ceprieieuse are to proceed shortly to Ningpo and Chilean. In Canton the business during the month has been small, both in imports and exports. From Shanghai we have advices to the 10th. Imports had been in demand and stocks were small ; but few transactions had taken place in produce. Nothing is as yet reported regarding this season's crop of tea. The excess of exports in tea over last year is now 1,800 ,0001 b.; of silk about 1,000 bales. Her Majesty's steamer Hermes arrived from Simga pore on the 19th. The Hon. Company's steamer Sa lamander arrived from the same place on the 10th. Her the 17th.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY MARKETS. (From May 22 to Jane 4.) Money becomes quite a drug. We observe the Bank of Bombay advertise to advance on goods not of a perishable nature, deposited in Godowas in the Fort or Grant Build ings, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, which is 1 per cent. lower than they have lately been charging on discount of private bills. Securities of all kinds look up. and they are likely to go higher during the rains. We quote current rates as follows : —Transfer Paper, 113 1 / 4 ; Sicca Fives, 1091; Sicca Fours, 95 ; Company's Fives, 105%; Company's Fours, 92 : Oriental Bank Corporation Shares, 31 per cent. premium; Bank of Bombay Shares, 17 per cent. premium; Agra Bank Shares, 10 per cent. premium ; Commercial Bank Shares, 5 1 / 4 per cent. premium.

Unfortunatet j Alfred Wilson the head engineer of White-street engine,-station,_ and one of his senior men, of the name of Crampton—both married, with large families —were standing some distance from the spot, directing the water upon the flames, and before they had time to run away some tons weight of red hot bricks fell upon them, and they instantly became buried in the smoking debris. ' Some of their more fortunate comrades immediately ran to their rescue, but the bricks were so hot that as they li Ned them the skin from their hands stuck to them. Neverthe less they kept to their work, hoping to save both men. One poor fellow was, after some time, got out, when at was found that his head was battered in, his helmet shrivelled, and his brain, it is asserted by those who pulled him out, was actually smoking on some of the hot bricks. Wilson was the second man rescued, and he gave two or three groans, which led some to believe that he might recover. Both were quickly conveyed to the London Hospital, but within a quarter of an hour after admission they were pro nounced dead. Several other firemen, including Mr. Fogo, the foreman, and Mr. Jones, of the West of England engine, narrowly ts caped receiving a similar fate. Those firemen who were not engaged in rescuing the rn en buried in the ruins kept pouring some tons of water Mo mentarily on the blazing premises; but owing to the ast quantity of pitch, tar, &c., in the place, the fire rose so high that, although it was perfectly light, the reflection c ould be seen from m dest ru any ctio miles distan t ; and a t one t i me not b ing short of the n y building near could be ex pected. The firemen, however, did not relax in their e:x er 'mastery over the fire, but not until the whole; of complete ed able stcck in trade was consumed, and all that re tetmhi:ameninsvp'ed of the building was the eastern wall, which repeat edly gave indications of falling.

News ,of the fleet has reached us from Gibraltar. It was about to cruise again off Cape do Gatt, for which purpose the Admiral would leave Gibraltar on the 7tb. The Firebrand had been detached. A letter hum Cortb, dated the 6th inst., announces the arrival there of the Scourge; having conveyed Lord Stratford and family to Triest e . at which city they dis embarked on the 29th ult., his L or d sh i p going on t h e following day to England and his family to Switzerland. The Scourge was to proceed to Alexandria and Beyrout, whence she would return to Corfu, and the Modeste (Lord Compton) set sail for Constantinople. The Arabian screw steamer, which was towed in short time ago by the Phoebe, having tried her engi,3es on Friday, it was found they were out of order, and :die could not make way. Being taken in hand again by the dockyard people, they worked all night on her, and y es _ terday she left port at half-past two P.m. She titid 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. This she did, and at eight o'clock towed her in. Her machinery, just repaired, is gone. What with her salvage, her repairs, and other expenses, the Arabian's present vo) age will be very ex pensive. v - i P it o tfi n : T h s e m r ouTH, THURSDAY . —The Black Eagle, Admi ralty yacht, Master-Commander Cook, passed through Spithead to-day at eleven o'clock, with the Russian stan dardsteam_t g flying, which was saluted by the Retribution said dle ri li g u at . e, a R Captain oasia n D p ru ri m no m e o sa nd o , n w h it o h ar 2 d l , g g u o n in s. g o l n t is a Majesty at Osborne.

On passing through Spithead with the Imperial Russian standard flying, the Retribution steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. J. Drum mond, fired a royal salute. The Vivid landed her il lustrious passengers at Cowes, whence they proceeded in her Majesty's equipage for Osborne. Her Imperial Highness and Consort have taken a residence for three months at the serene and beautiful retreat of Shanklin, Isle of Wight. The Tyne store-ship, Master Commander Wellington, arrived at Spithead this torenoon from the Brazils, last from Plymouth. 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 undocked to-morrow and placed alongside the dock yard, to further complete her fittings. SHEERNESS, JULY 15.—Her Majesty's iron screw steam-troop ship Megasra, Commander John Johnson, will be under the hat2ds of the dockyard for several Weeks. A pArty of men from the Woolwich factory are employed in repairing her boilers. During her late pas sage from the Cape of Good Hope the steered badly; some alteraticns 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. H. Mundy, or the London, and others of the port officers, ordered to attend a survey on invalids at Melville Hos pital. Her Majesty's ship Vestal, 26, Captain C. B. Hamilton, is reported to be completed by the shipwrights 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 bis apartments at Smithson's Hotel, Bank's -town, to Melville Hospital, for rnedioal 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.
