The "Prince" has been some time since on the neighbouring island of Hawaii, branding his cattle and attending to some other rural matters on his estate. This gentleman is the son of an in ferior official by a lady of high rank nearly related to the king, who, having no children of his own, adopted the family of the lucky official —namely, Princes Alexander and Lot, and Princess Victoria. The heir apparent is said to be "slightly opposed to the treaty ; ' but, as he is afflicted with " some little pecuniary embarrassments," which might bo relieved by his yielding, and as the popular feeling- in favour of annexation Is so strong that if the King were to die the people would at once declare for annexation without asking his leave ; and, finally, as the reigning monarch is said to be "almost continually in liquor," and has in all probability but a short lease of life, the prospects of annexation are likely to be soon realised. To hurry- this desirable consummation, however, the United States' Commissioner had addressed a peremptory letter to the Minister of Foreign Rela tions, insisting upon the immediate conclusion of the treaty. In consequence of this demand, a spec'al messenger had been despatched to bring home the Prince, and it is fully expected that the treaty will reach San Francisco, on its way to Washington, in a few days. ----• C-6 aA.TriES C.

Oar last summary would show the effect of the glut in 1853 ; namely, that British manufactures could not be sold at a profit. We cannot in the present summary hold out any better hopes. It is certainly reported that the shipments have fallen off in Britain, and during the last three weeks the arrivals have been less ; but even supposing that there has been a cessation of shipments, many months, probably a year, must elapse before a healthy or l eg iti ma t e s t a t e o f trade can be est tblished in rference to very many articles of British manufacture. The continued depression has bad a disastrous effect on many minor traders., particularly those (and their name is legion) who are paying high rent 4. The barks for a long time continued liberal in their discounts, and, having locked up their funds, they are now scarcely able to meet the demands of legitimate trale. It is a remark able fact, that among the numerous insolvencies that have taken place there is scarcely one in which landed property is part of the assets. It was generally con sidered that the 4th inst., when very heavy liabilities became due, was a test of the soundness of our mercan tile body, and the engagement; having been all but uni versally met, there is now greater confidence, and there is no fear of any commercial crisis. The outsiders will be gradually weeded out, and trade in the end will be placed on a more legitimate basis. MELBOURNE WHOLESALE PRICE CURRENT. This is the season in which annual supplies of bread stuffs are sent to the interior, and a great impetus has been given to the trade ; bnt it was all anticipated, and has only tended to make our market a little firmer. The harvest in New South Wales and in South Australia commences in the end of November. From all accounts, a great additional breadth of land has been sown in all the Australian colonies, and as yet there is no reason to believe that the crop will be under an average. About 800 tons trona Chili flour have been received from San Francisco, part of which have been sold at 241. to 251. per ton. The remainder is held for a higher figure. Dry or Soft Goods.—ln our last summary we stated that holders would sell generally this description of goods at original invoice price. We have new to state that if offered at that price it can hardly be got. Our reports to the trade are to the following effect :—ln consequence of the number of failures large quantities are daily forced at auction, where they do not realise more than a third discount. At this moment there is a full stock of summer goods, and a very large stock of winter goods is waiting for the ensuing season. There is not the slightest expectation of an improvement till next season. meeting requests the right worshipful chairman to for ward to the Lieut.-Governor a copy of these resolutions, and to urge upon his Excellency to refuse compliance with Sir George Grey's suggestion, and to decline the responsibility of inflicting such an outrage upon the colony. 163 ' TRCINV 41, : ! r, and• • SERS REDUCED TO 14s. shade toWaistcoat, 228. ; Coat, Waistcoat, and Trow ihruni, .order fr om Scotch T weeds, all Wool, and R.

The public mind during the last week has been greatly agitated by two events—namely, 1, a great open air meeting to pass resolutions in favour of the Convicts Prevention Bill, and the preserva tion of its principle in any new measure to be adopted ; and, 2, the burning down of the Eureka Hotel at :Ballarat, by a mob, under the excitement caused by the non-committal by the magistrate of a person charged with murder. The precise point at issue upon the subject of the Convicts Prevention Act demands and well merits some preliminary explanation. The ori ginal bill passed in 185'2. It provided for the ar rest and punishment of convicts illegally at large, and all its provisions were made to apply to men coming under cover of any conditional pardon or indulgence of any kind other than a free pardon. At the time this bill was passed the evils arising to this colony from the influx of convicts and ex pirees from Van Diemen's Land ►ere of a very grievous nature indeed. Crimes of the most atro cious character were committed daily and nightly la and about Melbourne and on the roads to the diggings ; and so great was the pressure of public opinion on the Executive that the Lieutenant- Governor (Mr. Latrobe) assented to the bill. Sir William Denison, the Lieutenant-Governor, fired at this, and urged its disallowance by the Crown very strongly on the Home Government. His policy, as well as that of Lord Grey, was to spread the convicts of Van Diemen's Land over all the colonies by means of the conditional pardon. When the Convicts Prevention Bill reached Eng land the law officers of the Crown considered it re pugnant to the prerogative, and advised its disallow ance. Accordingly, Mr. Latrobe was directed to dissallow it in the usual way by proclamation in the Gazette. But at the moment the despatch was received there was so much exasperation in the temper of the public on the question, the " stick ings up" were so frequent—sometimes accom panied by violence and cruelty, sometimes followed by murder—that Mr. Latrobe thought it more in accordance with his great duty to maintain the Queen's authority in the colony, to disobey the instruction, than to carry it blindly out. Accord ingly, he did not proclaim the disallowance of the act, and when Sir Charles Hotham assumed the Government, in JURC last, he found the act still in force. -.La. 2 , 3 . ho t;! ,upplY A 5s pe r 1 ,11 T 1 3% ip s 0 A lthoug l P , [wen fou nd, 1 qualities.

In plain English, this is a species of strike, not, as is often the case in England, to ob tain some slight advance, or a better mode of com puting wages, but to resist an inevitable, and, I will add, necessary and salutary decline. As to the numbers of voluntary unemployed, it is really insignificant—not more than a few hundreds. Everything has declined—the price (the fancy price it may be called) of land, the prices of building ' materials, rent, as far as I can l earn , i n th e pr o _ portion of 8 to 5, food, and more especially all imported articles. How, then, can the labourers, in the face of a not very active demand, expect to maintain the fever-heat prices of 1853 7 Yet car penters get 20s. to 255. a-day ; labourers are adver tised as " wanted, at 10s. a-day;" policemen have 125., and are found ; in the country stockmen get 651. a-year, with food besides ; while every article on which their wages are expended is lower. Even now a very good gardener can get 41. 4s, a-week, and all domestic servants get well paid. lam very sure that, with even more than the actual reduc tion of wages, the industrious labourer and me chanic is better off than he was in 1853, with a higher nominal remuneration. Then he had to pay 1001. a-year for a hovel; now there are far bet ter dwellings at one-half the price. Everything is declining in a greater ratio than wages, so that the condition of the labourer is really improving. The true test is, what is his power to save 7 and I am very certain that the industrious man's power to save in one year is greater than -a whole life's power in England. Ido most sincerely hope that the industrious owner of a good wholesome lot of bone and muscle and sinew will not be d e t erre d from coming here by the complaints a n d mee ti ngs of the " unemployed." I intend to address you by the Calcutta, to sail about the 15th, or the overland mail, at the end of November, with some care on the present com mercial condition of the colony. At present I must content myself with a slight sketch. Th e enormous ged has hgereenat a glut of most im ported from pri England,prices of laBnsd2-t3h encouraged n result a ported goods. It is almost unnecessary to add that low prices prevail. Some of the small dealers, under engagement to pay high rents, have suc cumbed. More will follow. But Ido not think there will be any extensive failures, for the following reasons :—firstly, the low prices will accelerate con sumption and check importation ; and, secondly, the waste which is very conspicuous in all colonies will run riot at very low prices. I think, therefore, that the process of restoration will be rapid, and that these merchants who begin to import at the lowest point will do well, as those who are excited to trade at the culminating point of prices are often ruined. 4. That in the opinion of this meeting the conduct of Sir William Denison, in reference to the convict ques tion, as particularly exemplified in his de , pat,:th to the Secretary of State, dated 15th March, 1554, deserves the btrongegt reprobation, iramiuch a 3 he has not hesi tated to seek a peraonal triumph at the expense of the legiblative independence, the peace, and the future pro sperity of Victoria. g -(11 ,caul """" A T I DNAL ASSOCIA.TIO N for PRO , who r o4nG , REF OR 11 i n th e I 1:I r[,ii ARM]. 0 the par 'mount necessity for a reformation .h in sYstern are requested to communicate t ei eaZrossing sultject to GEORGE RZTIIERFORD, son.

Post PTO., price is., London: Longman, Brown, Greea, and Longmont • , The fact is teat the islands are already essentially American. There is a c mF,iderable influential and wealthy American population. The trade is in the hands of Americans. The majority of vessels frequenting the islands is American, the most im portant being the North Pacific whalers. Ameri cans fill many of the offices. There are American courts of law, in which American lawyers engross the practice ; American influence is paramount ; the natives recognise American superiority. These facts account for what is termed " the popular feeling in favour of annexation." From all I have learnt for some years back of the condition of the natives, and of the general state of the country under the mockery of Royalty new existing, an nexation would, perhaps, be the best thing that could happen ; aid the abolition of the " Court " and all the tomfoolery attendant upon it would only injure the prospects of some few foreign ad venturers who have for a long time lived upon it and played upon the King. This potentate himself has been so corrupted by associating with sea cap tains as to be quite unfit to take care of himself. Business in San Francisco has been dull for the past fornight. Golddust is scarce, owing to the continued dry weather haying prevented mining in many districts. Still the remittances of dust in the past month have been large. The amount mani fested is $5,276,562. If to this we add the estimated amount carried away by passengers and others not manifested, the total cannot be short of $6,000,000. The price is now $17.40 to $17.50. Exchange without variation. The interest of money is falling, and few investments offering.

Of course, there was much speculation as to how Sir Charles would treat this really difficult question, involving as it does a conflict between the colony and what is called " the Crown"—meaning, as every one knows, the Colonial-office. At length a bill was sent down by Sir Charles Hotham, in tended as a substitute for the act about to expire. Sir Charles's plan is to establish agents or com missioners at Launceston, Hobart-town, Perth, Adelaide, And Sydney, who are to inquire into the characters of persons, and give passports. Any persons bearing certificates of good character, signed by magistrates, or others named in the act, are to be entitled to a passport. Such as land here without passports are to be arrested. In prin ciple this act will probably be deemed by the Crown lawyers as objectionable as the other; but its viola- Cordage is in good demand, and it is probable that ere long prices will be remunerative to the importer. Earthenware, &c.—There is a little more inquiry for chinaware, earthenware, and glassware, but at prices that do not cover cost and freight. Furniture, at present, hardly pays cost and charges.

Stocks are heavy. Spirits.—We are inclined to think that spirits have fallen to their lowest limit. In the last week the stocks have ceased to increase. The recklessness in this trade is demonstrated by the fact that brandy here is lower than in London. Shippers in Britain should bear mind that we have now a very large trade direct with ports on the continent, from which the genuine articles are supplied. The recent increase of stocks is in a great measure attributable to a lessened demand, in con sequence of improved habits of sobriety of the popu lation.

We regret to have to announce the death of Rear Admiral of the White s'ir 11;11 'Ct. (1851), which 1, Wu. ~ W t. e A aimer, in Kent, a few days since. The following account of his services is taken from O'Byrna Naval Biegraphy :- " Sir John Hill entered the ?levy Sept. 25, 1781, as first-class volunteer, on board the Infernal bomb, Cap tain James Alma, on the books of which vessel he was borne until March, 1783. On the 20th April, 1783, he joined the Nautilus sloop, Captlin Thomas Boulden Thompson, stationed at Newfoundland ; and he next, between 1789 and his promotion to the rank of lieute nant, July 28, 1794, served is the Channel and West Indies, as midshipman and master's mate, on board the Goliath and Bedford, 74's, Captains Archibald Dickson and Robert Mann, and Porcupine, 24, Captain James Alms. In the course of the latter and the bellowing year he was successively appointed to the Invincible, 74, and Juste, 80, both commanded by Captain the Hon. Thomas Pakenham, en the Channel station, where, for a few months in 1797, he again served with Captain Alms, in the Repulse, 64. He then joined the Princess Royal, 98, bearing the flag in the Mediterranean of Sir John Orde, with whom he remained until transferred,jin May, 1798, to the Minotaur, 74, Captain Thomas Louis, part of the victor fleet at the ensuing battle of the Nile; fur his con duct as senior lieutenant on which occasion he was ad vanced to the rank of commander by commission dated Oct. Bin the same year. From Feb. 2, 1800, to March 6, 1802, and from March 31, 1804, until Oct. 27, 1808, we next find Captain Hill commanding the Heroine, and Humber, in the Mediterranean and Channel. On March 24, 1813, he was appointed to an agency for transports, the duties of which post he continued to discharge, in the Baltic, and on the coasts of Holland and France, for a period of nearly six years. Having attained post-rank Oct. 23, 1815, be was subsequently, from 1820 until 1838, employed as captain superintendent of Deptford Victualling-yard. He was appointed, on the oth March in the latter year, superintendent of the dockyard at Sheerness ; and since Dec. 11, 1841, he has been again officiating in a similar capacity at Deptford. The honour of knighthood was conferred on Captain Hill Aug. 31, 1831. .His only son is a captain in the army - and one of his daughters, now deceased, was the wife Of tho pre sent Captain W. L. Castle, R.N." By the decease of this venerable officer, Captain the Hon. F. William Grey (brother of Earl Grey); now in command of the Hannibal, 91, screw, serving in the Black Sea, attains his flag rank, leaving Sir Richard Grant the senior captain on the list for promotion. CITY COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. The accounts of this commission for the past year to Michaelmas have be, n published by order of the court. The accounts are very comprehensive, and show on the consolidated account receipts amounting to 68,9901. 11s. 10d., of which the sum of 67,2421. 18s. Bd. is raised by the consolidated rate ; while the expenditure amounts to 73,3721. 17s. 6d., consequently the balance on the year is 4,3821. ss. Bd. against the account. The expenditure is subdivided into many items, the chief of which are as follow ; For paving works For lighting works • 8,687 12 6 For cleansing .6 For improvements in widening streets 18,178 0 6 For sanitary works 1,768 10 6 The commissioners appear also to have expended, 30,7211. ls. 3d. in the purchase of land for cemetery and 10,7361. 4s. in enclosing and draining it. This bas been raised by loan, and forms a charge upon the rates for years to come. To meet this the Commissioners have directed 1,5001. a year, to be invested in Consols to form a sinking fund. It is observable that the debt cannot be paid off for several years, perhaps from 20 to 30. On the sewers account the commissioners having re duced their rates, have received 5,706/. ss. 11d., while they have expended 28,1281. ls. 11d., which is thus de tailed in the leading items : For new sewers For repairing the Fleet sewers 9,000 0 0 For general repairs. The balance against the year's account is 22,4211. 165., which, however, is reduced to 11,5331. 15s. 11d. by the surplus in hand on the previous year's account. The whole of these accounts appear to have been pre pared with much care and judgment, and have been audited by accountants wholly independent of the cor poration--a point considered to be of great importance in matters affecting the pockets of the ratepayers. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JAN. 24. The Professor of Chemistry (Dr. Daubeney) will begin his lectures on Wednesday, the 7th of February, at 8 o'clock in the evening. Gentlemen desirous of attending are requested to put down their names in a book kept in the lecture-room previously to the commencement of the Course. I now come to the great meeting of Monday. It was held in a large open space in front of the Court-house. The ground descends from the spot the speakers occupied, so that hearing became difficult, as sound does not readily descend. But near the hustings the speeches (some of them very effective) were well heard. I need not dwell on the speeches, which are reported in the Argus ; but that which ought not to be passed over is the extent and character of the meeting. On the out skirts the numbers fluctuated a good deal. At one time I have not a doubt that 9,000 were present, and I think perhaps even more. I doubt if there were ever so few as 5,600, and I should state the prevailing number as about 7,000 to 8,000. On the subject of the meeting there was a perfect una nimity. It was most certainly not a rabble, for a great number of the most respectable classes of the community were there, especially of tho trading classes. The professional classes were there at least in duo proportion. As evidence of the very decided state of opinion on the subject, the meet ing is complete. Of this no one who resides here can doubt, and if Sir Charles ..Hoth.in-i. aispo.4" assuredly he may refer to the demonstration of Monday for his justifica tion and excuse. So much for this colony ; but in Tasmania another movement is at work. The people of that colony aro very naturally de sirous, to use their own words, that " the convict element of their population should be blotted out as speedily as possible." They therefore, in a peti tion to the Queen from the Legislature, pray her Majesty "that the conditional pardons now held by many of the former prisoners of the Crown in habiting these colonies be deemed and taken to bo full and unconditional pardons." 2. That Iser Majesty " will be pleased to grant her gracious pardon, without any condition, to all those now holding indulgence who may be recommended by the local Government." There are now about 13,000 convicts in Van Diemen's Land ; of these 10,000 will be entitled to conditional pardons in the course of two years. If the prayer be granted, it would have the effect of liberating the 10,000 at once, and of abolishing the conditional pardons. There seems some pro bability that the home Government will advise the Queen to adopt the suggestion of the Tasmanian Legislature. But lam bound to say if that be adopted the Council of Victoria will devise some measure to keep out the ex-convicts of Van Die men's Land. As to the " old offenders "—the " incorrigibles," as many of the worst are known to be—wretches who have been reduced by the cruelties of Norfolk Island to the single faculty of endurance—perhaps the best mode of dealing with them would be to transfer them to Western Aus- tralia, where the people are still willing to have convicts, though, I believe, it will be mpracticable to send English convicts to any part of Australia in a few years. The riot at Ballarat is really a case of incipient Lynch law, and if the rioters had caught the person who was ieir object of indignation, there can be no doubt that he would have been hanged, or otherwise lynched. This is the first case of the kind that has occurred. Order has prevailed at the dig gings more completely even than in Melbourne. Sir Charles Hotham was quite 'right when, two months ago, he complimented the diggers upon their orderly conduct and general obedience to the laws. The truth is, even those who are of a turbu lent and disorderly temperament are at the diggings to make money, and when they leave off their work " on a spree," or are " on the loose," it is to Melbourne they come- for the purpose of spend ing their gains —often in reckless enjoyments. Here they drink and get into rows and expose themselves to aggression. A gentleman or " swell " is not worth " sticking up." Such a man has seldom much about him but a white cambric handkerchief, a watch, and a few shillings to pay his club bill. Now, watches are a glut in the market, and the " old hand" from Van Diemen's Laud disdains to steal anything short of sovereigns or golddust. This, then, and the roads leading to Melbourne are the scenes of the marauders' har vest, simply because it is the field of the diggers' sprees. But to return to my subject. A murder was committed at Ballarat, close to the Eureka Hotel, kept by one Bentley. In the depositions before the magistrate it was sworn by a woman and a boy that they heard an altercation ; that they knew Bentley's voice (he is said to have a very remarkable voice), and that they heard him and his barman strike the deceased. There were some slight collateral facts to confirm this testi mony. This was at least ground for a remand—it might possibly have justified a committal—but the magistrate discharged the prisoner. It is said he even told him that there was not a tittle of evi dence against him, and that he was acquitted. It is reported that the magistrate has a share in the Eureka Hotel ; but he is a respectable man, of fair character, and it is more than probable that his only error is one of judgment. However, the " public" got excited, assembled in numbers, and burnt the hotel. Ono of the commissioners on the spot, Read, attempted with great presence of mind to stem the torrent. He stood at the window and remonstrated with the mob " from his burning rostrum." This, though verging on the sublime, was not effectual. Attempts were made to save furniture; but sections of the mob fired the pile where it lay. The obnoxious person and his wife made their escape, but they have since been cap tured, and will have to submit to the ordeal of a Tlie Gioiremor has taken pzeper_ otos to cligmer Convicts There bas been anoth er large bank robb ery — t h at of the Ballarat bran c h o f the Victoria Bank. It was one ef those masked " sticking up " cases th a t ex cite the Council of thi s co untry to pass Prevention Bills, and afford the strongest argument against the " prer oga ti ve of mercy," of whi c h we har so much. Some villains, with crape over their faces, entered the bank in the daytime, and, having secured the door against intruders, " stuck up" the manager and his clerk. They then got possession of 10,0001. worth of notes —mostly of 101. each—and about 2,0001. worth ef golddust. The papers will afford your readers further particu lars, but nothing has transpired to lead to the de tection of the culprits. I cannot avoid coming to the conclusion that we have, in all these colonies, been too hasty in taking off the punishment of death s arenor w suffering t er t in he g in cases where the law has been relaxed, and very properly l evilsre a xtehda,t thesei n England. n eoloie But look dreadful from Sir William Denison's last measure ef letting loose the Norfolk Island incorrigibles upon these colonies ! The man banged the other day for the murder of one Marcus, a year ago, is known to have been concerned i n 13 detected and undetected murders. Two other men, implicated in several, were tried the other day and got off—to commit more murders before they do ono so clumsily as to let in evidence. Many of the old convicts now at large have had sentence of death " recorded" against them in England for murderous assaults, and other crimes of violence. They have since been scourged out of all humanity, sentenced to transportation for life three times in . succession ; so that now every punishment short of death merges in the punishment they are under. At last, under some freak 'of the Colonial-office, or some villanous pro vincial "dodge," tkey are conditionally p ikr a oue d , come over here, and commit numerous crimes be fore detection. In such cases is there any remedy but banging ? Ido not mean to say it is a good punishment, but what punishment is good to de ter the old offender ? The use of death punishment will be to cut off from the face of the earth a class of wretches that have lost all traces of humanity. Thera have been a good many fires lately here and at Geelong. The insurance-offices are on the qui vivo, believing them, or some of them, to be not quite accidental. It is proposed to give the co roners jurisdiction to inquire into the causes of fires. Your readers, or such of them as see a Melbourne paper, will observe that there are sever a l insol tao have llveryany small. I cannot of consequence. The people are about to raise a su m o f money as a testimonial to Mrs. Chisholm for he r serv i ces i n learn Ye n ci es' that w but e are t he ylikely promoting family emigration. They intend to sub scribe 2,8001., and ask the Legislature for 5,0001. to purchase a house. There has been a meeting and some speech-making about it, and it seems likely to succeed, at least as far as the voluntary part is concerned. Gild continues to be produced steadily, chiefly new by the old hands, who make it a systema tic business. The production continues to range from about 32,000 to 40,000 ounces per week, worth about 41. per ounce, making an export of nearly 8,000,0001. We seldom now hear of large nuggets or great prizes, but the earnings generally are remunerative. e l b s m te he 4 ; "e a st ate d ii v l e .g o o u t f s t o h o f i f s Oct. t m h a s market may sepseason, be n demand d consequ en ceior goo MONEY AND TRADE . r eo Our t i o report tho (Fromroo roads, t d t A h s :e M p by r e . o f b t o h s e i s m o osvoey failures have taken place that there ie a ' prevalent want summed there of confidence, and even the wealthy retailers will not at present increase their stocks. There is no improvement whatever in prices since our last summary, and stocks in first bands remain very heavy. The facts connected with the trade of Melbourne dur ing the past two years demonstrate the utter impossibi lity of regulating supplies from distant markets with the present defective system of communication. Our prin cipal imports have been from three sources—from the neighbouring colonies, from America (North and South), and from the British Islands. Our trade with the Aus tralian colonies has been lucrative to all concerned. Almost invariably such goods only have been ordered and transmitted as were in demand, an d a fair , and in many cases a splendid profit has been realised. Next, in reference to the American trade, it -- was at first almost entirely in the hands of inexperienced persons. Their first ventures were trial shipments, and many of them, as a matter of course, were unprofitable. But with that remarkable aptitude for business, w hi c h is a characteristic of Americans, the branches of houses from America established here have become tho roughly "posted," and now we believe that no trade in the world is established on sounder or safer principle. than that between Victoria and the 'Unite() States. In reference to the trade with the United Kingdom the contrast is so marked, the over-trading—th e mad ness, we may say—has been so great and so suicidal, that, to persons who do not know the facts, the most plain and prosaic recital will be deemed exaggeration. At this risk, however, we shall detail a few facts. About the middle of 1853, it became evident that sup plies far beyond our requirements were pouring into Mel bourne. Of this due notice was given, and we can vouch that for many months nothing but . the most gloomy odically to En com mercial accounts have gone pen gland. Let us examine what effect these have had. We shall speak chiefly of the trade of Melbourne, but in order that our readers may understand its relative proportion to that of the whole colony, we may mention that in 1 ;53, when the imports of Victoria were valued at 15,842,6371., those of Melbourne were 14,093,351/. We have stated that' in the middle of 1853 it was discovered that ship ments were excessive. The climax was in the first quar ter of 1854, when the value of imports at Melbourne was 5,303,1841. But the subsequent imports were as follow : Second quarter .................. £3,252,884 Third quarter ........................... 3,854,350 And we cannot estimate the fourth quarter at less than ............... 3,000,000 Add for first quarter, as above ....•• 5,303,184 X 15,418,418 So that, notwithstanding this continued statements - ' GOLD. Tho price of gold remains at 31. 19s. 6d. per ounce, with less demand than was expected for shipment by the Great Britain. The produce for the week is up to the average, showing that, despite the scarcity of water and other difficulties, the persevering gold-digger is being rewarded. We are still able to report as favourably as ever of the general aspect and of the prospect of our gold-fields. While the older fields maintain their aver age productiveness, those discovered in the present year are being most successfully developed. Since our last summary there hmv. fish ;-. renees, and a new field has been opened in the neigh bourhood of Bendigo,•which promises well. Above all, however, the prospects of quartz crushing are most excou• raging ; and, should the Government be able to frame re,gutattotais for leasing quartz lodes on satisfactory terms, it is universally believed that the produce will vary far exceed anything yet extracted from the alma vial drifts. That satisfactory regulations can be made we are well assured, as similar operations have been suc cessfully conducted under just and fair laws in North and South America for hundreds of years, so that pro baliiy we shall be able, in an early summary, to com municate the first results of this new development. The following are the amounts of ounces received in Melbourne or Geelong, by Government escorts, during the weeks ending at the undermentioned dates, which are continued from the returns published in oar last summary :-1854: September 23, 32,304 ; Sept. 30, 37,073 ; Oct. 7, 41,815; Oot. 14, 48,113 ; Oat. 21, 34,843. The following are the amounts received by escort and shipped during the first nine months of this and the last year respectively 1853. 1854. First Nine First Nino Months. Months. Received by escort 1,549,545 1,296,557 Shipments 1,831,468 1,653,999 From these figures it will be observed that so far there is a decrease in the present year, in both the quantities received by escort and shipped. This is accounted for in two ways. 1. A large proportion of the digging population do now confine themselves to the search for gold. Large numbers have built houses, fenced and cul tivated land, and have settled down in numerous depart ments of regular industry. 2. No less than seven new gold-fields have been discovered ; and a great deal of time has been lost in the numerous " rushes" to test their richness. When the quartz-crushing by machinery, to which we have elsewhere alluded, is brought into full operation, we believe that the present weekly average of about 40,000 ounces •ay be expected to increase. But even that, valued at 160,0001., affords a very large amount of wealth when divided amongst so limited a population as our own. THE LABOUR MARKET. At the date of our last overland summary, by the Madras, on 22d September, there was some excitement among our working classes in consequence of a portion of them being out of employment. It now appears that this was little more than a temporary clog on the wheels of industry, which can be easily explained. The work ing men of Victoria have had the honour of building and adorning Melbourne and Geelong. The people of Castle maine, of Sandhurst, of Ballarat, of Beechwortb, and of fifty other townships, have patiently wated till this was accomplished. The moment it was announced that there were unemployed men in Melbourne anti Geelong applications poured in from Portland, from Warrnam bool, from Gipps Land, and from the distant interior, and now we quote from the latest reports of labour markets as follows :—Geelong says, " There is little to note in the state of the labour market since last circular. Most of the surplus labour has been drafted off." And Melbourne is still more emphatic—" There has been a considerable reduction in the labour mar ket; more activity has prevailed, with fewer hands offering. Many hirings have occurred during the week for agricultural and pastoral purposes, and many mechanics have migrated into the interior, and obtained employment. A storekeeper at Sand hurst, lately in town, mentioned to us his intention to build a stone store, and that the wages of masons were 365. per day. He also stated that a workman at Sand hurst can live cheaper than in Melbourne, because, al though groceries and provisions generally are dearer, his rent, wood, water, and butchers' meat are less expen sive. The prices of labour, which have boon fluctuating during the last four or five weeks, appear now to have settled themselves down to the rates enumerated below. General employment has been slack, bat is now some what more brisk. At this time of the year hirings for the busy season of the agricultural trade may be said to commence, For the skilled mechanic in all branches of the building trade wages appear to have settled down to from 20s. to 255. per day, and employment is decidedly more plentiful for both skilled and unskilled labour. THE CONTICT QUESTION. Melbourne has also been in a state of agitation on the convict question. At a meeting held on the 25th October at Melbourne the following resolutions were passed with the utmost unanimity :- 1. That this meeting emphatically protests that the Sovereign of the British realms neither hath nor ought to have right, prerogative, or power, warranting the letting loose in the colony of Victoria of the convicted criminals of other countries or colonies. 2. That, as the certain effect of acting upon the sug gestion of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in his recent despatch, would render the Royal prerogative odi ous to the colonists, and would seriously endanger the cow:Idol between this country and the parvut state, thiA _ _ The Sitka carries to England her former captain and his wife, as well as two or three of her crew, taken to England " for examination," as is usual, with the view of her having her condemned. The President, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Frederick, is still here, waiting the arrival of the Panama mail, hourly expected. 6he sails for Val paraiso as soon as the commodore receives his let ters. It is reported that the Russian frigate Diana is hovering about the coast, but the report is not credited, as it is pretty well known that she is ice bound and laid up for the winter, with the rest of the Russian squadron, in the Sea of Okhotsk. Some excitement was caused here for a few days by the novel proceeding of an application for the discharge of the Russian prisoners on board the Sitka. On the 24th ult. a petition was presented in the name of a Russian subject in San Francisco, on behalf of two of the prisoners confined on board of that vessel, to one of the common law courts of San Francisco, praying for a writ of habeas corpus in their favour on the plea that they were unlaw fully detained. The judge granted the writ on motion of the petitioner's counsel in the usual manner on the 25th, making it returnable on the 27th, and it was served on board by the sheriff. The Sitka sailed, however, on the intermediate day—Sunday, the 26th—for England ; and when the case came up on the 27th neither ship nor prisoners being then within the jurisdiction of the court, the judge suggested that a representation of the matter be made through the Executive of this State to the Secretary of State at Washing ton. Had the Sitka not left, and no appearance been made by or for the officer in charge of her, no doubt an attempt would have been made by the civil authority to bring the prisoners ashore, in which case the commodore would have removed them to the President and kept them at all hazards, while, if an appearance had been made, and the case had been gone into on its merits, some nice legal questions as to the rights of belligerents and of neutrals, the comity of nations, &c., would have been raised, all of which, I think, it is well to have avoided. The gist of the pleas upon which the prisoners relied for their release were—first, the illegality of confining them on board of the Sitka, which was not a man- of-war of either of the belli gerent:, but a merchant vessel belonging to the Russian American Company, not yet condemned even, and which could not legally be converted into a prison ; and, secondly, that it was contrary to the law of nations to bring them into a neutral (American) port after they had once been taken to and confined in the territory of one of the captors (Vancouver's Island, to wit). The simple facts of the case are that the Sitka , s r Eeecei by tiro Proaidont 111 the Bay of Petropaulovski on the 7th of September, having on board provisions and munitions of war for that garrison, with several civil and military officers in the service of the Emperor of Russia des tined for that place. She was then taken to Van couver's Island. Some of the prisoners were brought to San Francisco by the French squadron, and some by the English. The civilians—at least some of them —were released by the French admiral. Finally, such of them as it was determined to send to Eng land were transferred from the President to the Sitka, and, in justice to the commodore and the other officers, it should be stated that their removal from the President was proper and necessary on ' sanitary grounds, as the vessel was overcrowded, and the habits of the Russian sailors were by no means cleanly. Every possible attention and kindness were paid to them. Some of the officers were frequent guests at the captain's table, and made much of, and mutual friendships had sprung up between them. And such was the consideration paid to the captain of the Sitka that he has been allowed to occupy his own cabin, with all his ar rangements unmolested, and all his own and his family's comforts attended to just as if ho wore still in command. All this has, of course, no thing to do with the l ega l ques ti on w hi c h h as been mooted, and I mention it merely to show that the habeas corpus was not sued out by reason of any harshness or other ill-usage. It is represented as a pettifogging attempt to gain a little eclat, and as a means of venting a little national spite, and, perhaps, making a little political capital at the expense of " John Bull," who is rather unpopular in San Francisco at present, the sympathies of " Young America" being on the side of the Czar, however inconsistent such may appear on the part of Republicans. San Francisco has always been the purgatory of masters of trading vessels from the annoyances of pettifogging attorneys who fasten upon them as soon as they an c h or . It appears that these " pro fessional thugs," as ono of the newspapers calls them, Are now resolved to strike at higher game, as will be seen from the following report of two suits brought against the captain of an American man-of-war as she was all ready to leave the port tie other day : " Commander Buchanan, of the United States steam frigate Susquehanna, appeared before the Recorder yes terday to answer to a charge of falsely imprisoning one of the crow, who was the plaintiff in the case, named James L. Chapman. it appeared, by statements made before the court, that Chapman, about 15 months since, had been tried, as is usual, for insubordination by a court-martial. Commander Perry had committed the plaintiff Chapman to the charge of Commanderßuchanan, with written instructions, which were produced in court, to keep him in irons until he was inclined to do his duty, or on arriving at an American port he was to be dis charged. The counsel for theoplaintiff based his com plaint on the grounds that the time for which Chapman had engaged to serve in the squadron had expired before the court-martial had been held and the order for him to be detained in custody given ; and also,alleged that plaintiff should have been discharged immediately on the steamer's arrival. Colonel James and Mr. G. C. Bates, counsel for defendant, proved that the plaintiff had not been detained any longer than the time required to make out the papers for his discharge, and ar gued tbat defen dant would have incurred a serious liability by act ing otherwise than he had done in this matter. In war time failure to comply with the demands of a superior officer, as explicitly laid down as these orders were in the letter produced, would subject the commander to be punished by death. Judge Waller, after fully consider. ing the case, concluded to dismiss it, as he said it was beyond his jurisdiction. "Immediately on leaving the Recorder's Court, Commander Buchanan was served with a warrant issued from the court of Justice Rix, on complaint made by one of the late musicians on board the Susquehanna, charging the commander with as sault and battery. Colonel James waved all pri vilege of making any objections, and requested to go at once into the trial, as the Susquehanna was ready to go to sea, steam up, and only one anchor down. The trial proceeded. It transpired in evidence that this mao, with the res t o f t h e b and, was on shore, with the sanc tion of the commander, and, at the hour fixed for their return much difficulty was experienced to get some of them on board. The next morning he was brought before the commander, who, irritated at his conduct, hit him over the mouth with his hand. Justice Rix fined defendant $100." We learn from Honolulu that it is the general belief there that the annexation of the Sandwich Islands is now fully determined upon ; that the k'reu9l3. Rua gDgli§ll reprooeutatim lave giT44ll up Artificers are employed fitting the Caesar, 91, screw, Capt. Robb, at Devonport, for the reception of troops. The Nile, 91, screw, Captain Mundy, will be taken out of Devonport on Friday next. The Majestic, 81, screw, Captain Hope, is still at Sheerness, being principally under the hands of the en gineers. Her main shaft is still at Woolwich. A few shipwrights are working at her, and her crew are all on leave; but her masts are all on end and rigged complete. The Cressy, screw, 81, Captain Warren, hauled out of Sheerness basin yesterday, and has taken up her moorings in the Fairway this day. She is getting her guns on board, and pro v i s i ons , & c .

Yesterday the Lords of the Admiralty gave notice in the Underwriters'-room, at Lloyds, Royal Exchange, that vessels were required to convey 339 tone of Ord nance stores, filled shells, and heavy shot to Malta ; 12 tons of army provisions to the Gambia ; 40 tons of Ord nance stores to Sydney, New South Wales, and 65 to Hobart Town ; 44 t ons of ponder to Melbourne, 58 tuns of naval provisions to Rio Janeiro, and 168 tons of naval provisions to Valparaiso, for the Pacific squadron under Admiral Bruce. STORES FOR THE CRIMEA.. Yesterday a further shipment of medical comforts and necessaries for the British Hospital, Scutari, took place from the Tower stores, including kettles, sick-ward fur niture, tea and coffee pots, mills to grind coffee, &c. In addition to the large shipment of " Free Gifts" by the Canadian, reported yesterday, 826 packages have been shipped by the Nonpareil, East Anglian, Cochrane, Pioneer, Harlequin, and the Stamboul, a largo poi tion cf which are far on their way to the East, being contri butions for the use of the army in the Crimea and the hospitals at Scutari, received by Messrs. Hayter and Howell, from all parts of the country ; 600 officers' packages have also been shipped by recent ships for the Crimea. Mrs. Reynard, Mrs. Wilmot, Mrs. Conyers, Mrs. Davidson, and many other ladies of Driffield have been indefatigable in theirittxertions in behalf of the sick and wounded soldiers in the East, haring collected a great quantity of warm clothing, &c., consisting of nearly 200 red flannel vests, knitted mitts, packages of linen, ban dages, &c., and sent it directed to Miss Nightingale, at the hospital, Scutari. THE MILITIA. About 150 of the men of the West Essex Militia have received their new clothing. The coat is almost a fac simile of those warn by the London Fire Brigade. The Ist Regiment of Royal Cheshire Militia, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. T. E. Cholmondeley, assembled at Chester on Thursday last for permanent training. Since the regiment was on duty at Chester in April last, 157 men have volunteered into the regulars, and the corps now musters 780. The officers on duty with the regiment are :—Lieutenant- Colonel the Hon. T. E. Cholmondeley, and Messrs. W. 11. Harper and Egerton Leigh, &c. The 2d Regiment of Cheshire Militia, under the command of Colonel Da venport, assembled at Stockport on Thursday last. The reserve of the Ist Somerset Regiment of Militia, which consists of the disembodied portion, have received orders to assemble at the Taunton barracks on the 29th choi whereunt iiilton th Teywhoil.lo who be inspected f,, tedbud fitynthei forrCo ty lo d r u iel, Vwiisil then be forwarded to the head-quarters of the regiment at Plymouth, to fill up the vacancies caused by the volunteering into the line and the Marines. The West Suffolk Militia corps have been assembled on parade at Bury St. Edmund's, where it is mustered under the command of Colonel Earl Jermyn, M.P., and were addressed by Lie u t enant - Colonel Dear, on the arrival of Lieutenant Davis, of the 27th Regiment, the officer who is detached from Chatham for a time on the service of procuring vo l un t eers i nto the regular reg i. ments. Lieutenant Davis explained the object he sought, and the result was that 100 turned out and volunteered for the line, and, these having been submitted to the usual inspection, 90 were approved. DEFEAT OT THE TROOPS OT PRESIDENT ECHIINIQUE. —The Panama papers yesterday by the West India mail confirm the report received via New York of the troops of President Echenique, of Peru, having experienced a severe defeat, which has placed the Government in a critical position. It appears that after the insurrection ary pasty, under Don Domingo Elias, bad sustained the reverse announced by a p rev i ous packet t h ey retreated towards Arequipa, where they were followed by the victorious Government troops, under General Moran, who was to be joined by a General Vivanco. They were, however, attacked separately by the insurgents, and in a subsequent attempt, on the night of the 30th Novem ber, to take Arequippa were entirely routed. General Moran was compelled to surrender, and, to the disgrace of his captors, was shot, possibly on the ground of hie net being a native Peruvian. The news had created the greatest consternation among the Go vernment party at Liam, Generals San Ramon insurrectionary forces, Castilla, at the head of other forces, being within a short distance of that capit a l . According to the Panama Star, Echenique now remain s President only of Lima, Callao, and the Chincha Islands, as all the rest of Peru is in the hands of his enemies. " Four-fifths of the people and nearly all the foreigners," it is added, "are in favour of Castilla, being disgusted with the course pursued by Echenique, and hoping better things frees a 1 . :9. 1091 quiz ime dried
