lONEY MARKET; AND COMMIII4VZIAT, TrTrELLIGP.tTO',i‘,. mTY, Two o';7'Loor: The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed very firmly, but prices of all descriptions were extreme. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales (1,000 of which were taken for export and 2,000 on speculation), comprising 1,200 Egyptian, at 61d. to 9d. ; 2,000 Surat, 41d. to 51d. ; and 30 Sea Islands, is. to 2s. Gd. per lb. The Railway Share Market opened quietly, at a decline on the current rates of Saturday, but it subsequently im proved, and closed at its best point. Letters from Hamburg of the 11th inst. contain some particulars relative to the capitalisation 01 the Sound Dues. According to a despatch received there from Copenhagen, it is announced that Mr. Buchanan, the' British Plenipotentiary at the Danish Court, has fixed upon a sum to be paid by England to Denmark as an indemnity for the capitalisation of the Sound Dues. Of course this convention must receive the sanction of Parliament before it can be ratified ; but it is anticipated that the terms are so advantageous that there is not likely to be any opposition to the proposal. It appears that Prussia, one of the maritime states most interested in the free navigation of the Sound and the Baltic, has not yet fixed upon the pecuniary compensation to be given to Denmark upon the cessation of the dues. It is said also that Denmark has been making repeated applications to the Hanseatic cities of Lubeck and Hamburg to modify the duties levied on mer chandise in transitu by the duchy of Lauenburg. France also asks for a modification of the same on account of the carriage of her manufactures through these states into the Danish territory, and there is every probability of her agreeing to the terms of capitalisation if the others are reduced. From these facts there is now some certainty of the vexed question of the Sound Dues being satisfactorily settled this year. A quarterly meeting of the Wheal Uny Mine was held to-day. The report showed a balance of 1261. against the mine. The produce of tin and copper sold was 1,8021. A call of 15s. per share was made. Although the arrivals of gold from Australia and America during the last two days have been large they have not produced any change for the better in the present position or future prospects of the Money Market, and it is questioned whether the further sums which are known to be on their way to this country will be sufficient to supply the wants of the Bank of France, without causing a further reduction of the bullion in Threadneedle -street. On Saturday and yesterday about 150,0001. is be lieved to have been taken for the continent, and if the withdrawals continue at this rate, the stock of bul lion will speedily be reduced to a very low figure. About 196,0001. in specie arrived yesterday from America, Ike., and 368,0001., viz., 92,000 ounces, are reported this morning from Australia by the Champion of the Seas. Other ships, among them the James Baines, are supposed to be near at hand, with heavy specie freights, which will probably render some assistance to the Money Market. The advices from America, per Asia, mention that the money market was getting tighter on ac count of the stringent policy pursued by the city banks, whose last weekly return showed a decline in the loans and discounts of $723,230. The specie in the same time, owing to the large remittances to England, was smaller by $1,397,465. The intelligence received from Australia, per Champion of - the Seas, has generally been antici pated by the overland mail. We have frequently called attention to the slovenly manner in which the letters by the Australian mail ships are for warded from Liverpool to London, and further complaints are now made with regard to those brought by the above vessel. Part of the letters were delivered this morning, and telegraphic ad vices just received state that other portions of the mail were sent away by the 4 and 7 o'clock a.m. trains. Surely such repeated carelessness as this requires •fficial remonstrance. Public Securities are rather heavy, but the deal ings are limited. The payment of the dividends on Government Securities has commenced, and the public continue to make purchases of stock for in vestment. These keep up the prices of the Funds, which otherwise would probably have been still further depressed. Speculators, however, operate with diffidence and limit their engagements. The further decline of the Rentes at Paris tends to increase the weakness of English Securities. Consols for money this morning have been 914 to and for account, 92 to 921, and 91i 92. Tney are now about 911 for the former, and 91/ for the latter. The New Three per Cents. are 911, and the Reduced 90,1 s. Exchequer Bonds are 4s. to Bs. premium, the Bonds 98s I. The New 5 per Cents. are 114. Foreign Securities are dull, and Turkish are par ticularly heavy. The 6 per Cents. have dropped to 91 and 911. The 4 per Cents. are also flatter, viz., 99# R.. Spanish Threes have r; en to 42/ Rus sian 4 per Cents. are 97i ; and Peruvian 4i per Cents. 77. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 71 ; Mexi can, 211 22 ; Peruvian, 75 77 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 45 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 106 108 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 96 98 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 421 ; ditto Deferred, 23 41 ; ditto Certificates, 5 51 2 ; ditto Passive, 6 Business in the Railway Share Market is now dull, but prices are steady. T'ne arrangements for the settlement commence to-morrow. Great Western and Brighton sh;ixes have slightly improved. The Colonial Lines have been steady, and French have declined abottt per cent. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are almost neglected. Canada Government 6 per Cent. have improved ss. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

AUSTRIA AND PARMA.—The Trieste Gazette states that the news of the prolongation of the customs convention between Austria and the Ducbies of Parma and Modena appears to be correot. The convention is to be continued for 27 years, and Austria is to grant an allowance of 400,000 lires to the Duchy of Parma.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) MILE WIGICEr. This bankrupt was described as of Brighton, printer, and to-day was appointed for his last examination. Mr. Chidley, for the bankrupt, applied for an adjourn ment. He said that the bankrupt was doing that which was not very usual—that was, making out his own balance-sheet without the assistance of an accountant, and bad no doubt it would be satisfactory. His Honour said it was unusual, but commendable, and granted the application. IN BE J. OSBORNE.-..ALLOWANCE TO BANKRUPTS AT AUDIT MEETINGS. In this case an audit meeting was held. Mr. Chidley applied for an allowance to the bankrupt. His Honour did not well see how he could grant an allowance at an audit meeting. Mr. Chidley said that his Honour directed the question of allowance to stand over until the last examination meeting, but Mr. Commissioner Fane on that occasion directed it to stand over till this meeting. His Honour therefore granted an allowance. IN BE DUNCAN. This bankrupt was described as of Lime•street, wine merchant, and applied to be discharged from custody. Mr. Warrand, Basinghall-street, appeared for the petitioning creditor, who was also one . of the detaining creditors. His Honour said that the detaining creditor could discharge him if he thought proper. Mr. Warraud declined doing that. His Honour said that he should be setting a most mischievous precedent if he discharged a bankrupt before the choice of assignees, when the creditors would have an opportunity of expressing their opinion, unless some strong grounds were shown, which was not the case here, and he should not grant the application. IN BE BAILEY. This bankrupt was described as of Bornmouth, Rants, hotel keeper, and came up to pass his examination on accounts prepared by Mr. H. C. Johnson. The bankrupt passed without opposition. IN RE YOUNG. This bankrupt was described as of Surrey-street, Strand, and to-day came up to pass his last examination. Mr. Sturgeon, for a creditor, opposed on the ground that bankrupt had traded under the name of Fitzroy Young, when his real name was said to be John Fitzroy Young, and he was now simply described as John. The bankrupt, in examination, admitted that be had been twice insolvent, in 1845 and 18i1, but paid no dividend. His Honour adjourned the case sine die, and his Honour expressed his opinion that the bankrupt would never pass, for the accounts were not true, and credi tors under the insolvency, and whose claims bad not been discharged, were omitted, but he would give the bankrupt an opportunity of filing another balance-sheet if be could, and he would therefore grant protection for six weeks. THE ROYAL BEITIBII BANK. His Honour, in this case, said the arguments on the disputed adjudication would be heard on Monday next, at eleven o'clock, when be would have the able assistance of Mr. Commissioner Holroyd. Since yesterday he had looked atihe different Acts of Parliament, and now felt convinced that the bankruptcy and the other proceedings could properly be carried on at the same time, and he thought beneficially so. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) GIIILDIIALL. ROBBERY AT THIS GEORGE HOTEL, STRAND.—James Are, an elderly man dressed in shabby clothes, and who described himself as a solicitor, was charged on remand before Sir P. Laurie, with stealing three silver table spoons from the George Hotel, S•rand. It appeared from the evidence that on Thursday last the prisoner went to the shop of Mr. Lawley, pawn. broker, Farringdon-street, and there offered the spoons in pledge to G. W. Ttllett, his assistant, who seeing the name " George" engraved on them; questioned the pri soner so closely about his possession of them that he ran off leaving the spoons behind. He wal pursued and apprehended by Police•constable 36g, and wheu brought back by the policeman he said he had purchased them, but refused to give his address. When searched 1/. 53. was found on him, and he had an umbrella under his arm. On making inquiries at the George, it was found the spoons belonged to Mrs. Jane Harrell, the landlady. She was unable to produce evidence of the loss of the spoons, but the prisoner was identified as the person whom the barmaid served on Thursday with a glass of stout, near where the spoons were kept. Sir P. Laurie (to the goaler)—llo you know anything of the prisoner I Springate—Yes, Sir Peter. The prisoner, after four remands, was tried in Oct., 1848, and sentenced to 14 years' transportation. Sir Peter Laurie—l am glad you have told me of it. It is well to get rid of these old accomplished and clever offenders, against whose acts the public are unable to guard. I shall commit the prisoner, leaving it to a jury to decide on the cas e . Sir Peter complimented the pawnbroker's assistan t, and said his conduct was ex emplary. who declined saying anything, was corn witted for p fo ri r s(n t)riearl'. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN OUTRAGEOUS THIEF.—John, Harris, an ill-condi tioned young fallow, was brought b e f ore M r. Beadon, charged with stealing , a j acket, b e l ong i ng to Charles Langley, one of Meux s draymen. The prosecutor stated that yesterday afternoon he was delivering some beer at a public-house in the Tottenham court-road, when be h ad occas ion to leave his jacket on the dray while he w ent into the h ouse, and, on returning he carght the pri soner i n the act of (proseoutor's) j ac k et under his arm, i t a h re h d is him and took th e j acket from him, walkingn Prosecutort o the s o t rffe collared , when the prisoner suddenly turned upon him and kicked him with great force on the lower part of his person. A constable at that moment came up, and witness gave him into custody. Pratt, 136 E, said he took the prisoner into custody on the present charge, and on the way to the station the prisoner was exceedingly violent, and kicked witness with such severity that his legs and thighs were black and blue. In answer to Mr. Bea Son, the prisoner, in EL surly manner, said it was the want of "grub" that made him steal the coat. jle bad not tasted " grub" for two days, and thought it was time he had some now. Mr. Beadon said his wish should be gratified, for he should commit him to prison, with hard labour, for three months. SOUTfiIiVARR. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.— William, Batters, a middle•aged man, well known to the police, was charged with being concerned wits , another man not in custody in stealing 70 buffalo kips from the premises of Mr. Frederick Burdges, leader dresser, Hunter-street, Great Dover road, Southwark. Ri o h oirc i Burr, foreman to the prosecutor, Mated Mr. Selfe Tower-hill is infested with hordes of young pickpockets. During my short experience rs a magistrate there have been more robberies from the person committed on Tower-hill and the immediate neighbourhood of the Londen and the St. Katherine Dock than in any other part of the district. Francis Kelly, a police constable, No. 130 11, said he saw the prisoner running along Crown Court, Upper East Smithfield, followed by the sailor and 5 0 or 60 others, calling stop thief. They limited down the pick pocket and gave him into his custody. l'ke pri soner had been committed and sentenced to two months imprisonment and hard labour for stealing a boot. On the way to the police-court the prisoner said he took the handkerchief, and wanted to be sent to a Reformatory School. Mr. Selfe—l can't do that, he is too old ; if I could I would send the prisoner to a Reformatory School. I sentence the prisoner to three months iraprisoamont and hard labour.

With ess looked about him and saw the prisoner running up Hiinter•street with the skins under his arm. He pursued hi. 73, and caught hold of him with the property in his possession, when another man came up to witness and said, " let the man go as you have got your leather." Witty ess said he should not let him go, when that man caught hold of him by the neck, and nearly throttled. him, so that he was compelled to let go his hold. The pri goner was, however, pursued and taken into custody, but his com panion escaped. The leather produced, and found in the prisoner's possession was the property of his employer, and he saw it safe in the yard a minute or twx, before he left to go to his dinner. Police-constable 224 M said that on the previous afternoon he heard cries of " Stop Thief " pr4>ceed from Hunter•etreet, and on going there he met tb .8 prisoner, followed by several persons. Witness sto Aped him, when he said, "Don't stop me, as I am after the thief." He however kept hold of him until Mr. Harptlr came up and gave him into custody. The prisoner here said that he did not steal t'ae leather. He was a leather dresser, and when pass'ing down Hunter-street he saw a man pass him with some leather under his arm. He called out to him, "There's nothing like leather ;" when the man said, "No, there's not ; carry this for me into the Borough, and I'll p ly you for it." He accordingly consented, and as soo n as Mr. Harper came up he ran away, leaving him with the lea ther. He also, of course, attempted to get mvay, as he was not a thief. The constable informed his worship that the, prisoner was a thief, and, if remanded, former convictions could be proved against him. His worship accordingly remanded him until Monday next. THAMES. ROBBERY ON TOWER-HILL.—John Ducey, a -wretched looking youth, aged 17, was charged before Mr. Selfe with stealing a silk handkerchief from the pocket of Jacob Pasley, a seaman, who stated that at half•past 10 o'clock this morning (Tuesday) he was pas liing over Tower-hill, when he felt some one drawing his silk handkerchief from his pocket. He turned round and saw it in the prisoner's hand. He seized the prisoner, who dropped the handkerchief, which was picked up by another man, who ran away with it. The handkerchief was worth 55., and he had only purchased it a few minutes previously. COLONIAL. TE.t. —The transactions in this article have been very limited.

JUSTICES JITSTICE.—A correspondent of the Times calls attention to the following extract from a local journal :—" Eaton Socon, Oct. 6, 1856.—Before the Rev. S. G. Fawcett.—Jane Hile, an inmate of the St. Nest's Union, was charged b e y Mr. Robert Gibson, the master, with misbehaviour during Divine service at the workhouse on Sunday, the sth inst.—Committed to Huntingdon gaol for 21 days." The " misbehaviour," he says, with which the female was charged was that of scribbling in the prayer-books with :a pin, and indulging in suppressed laughter with another inmate. 'OMER PACHA AND THE PRINCESS OF DADIAN.— Lieutenant Robert Cadell, of the Madras Artillery, and Colonel in the Ottoman army, has addressed a letter to the Times in reference to the demands of the Princess for damage caused to her residence by Omer Pada. The obje c t of the charge is, he says, to damage th e repu tation of the bravest man in Turkey. " I never," con tinues the gallant colonel, "saw troops more in hand than was the Turkish force just after the action on the Ingour, and I believe that 1001. would have paid for the whole injury caused by it on its advance through Mingrelia." AMERICA. NEW YORK, OCT. 1. [A summary of the following appeared in The Sun of yesterday The canvass progresses with an appearance of great confidence on all sides. The draymen of New York were to have made a great demonstration in favour of Mr. Fillmore on the evening of the 29th ult., but were prevented by a violent storm. The Democrats were to hold a great meeting in front of the Exchange in New York on the 2d, to hear Governor Floyd, of Virginia. There had been a ()Teat Democratic meeting at Richmond, in Vir ginia, at which Mr. Wise, the Governor of the i State, made use of the following language n reply to Mr. Botts : "If Mr. Buchanan is elected President of the United States there will be no aggression upon us by the Go vernment, and y ou w ill h ave not hi ng to do. You have only to go on and keep the peace. Sit still under your own vine and fig-tree, and all will remain happy and united, and your blessings—so far as Government pro tection and executive action are concerned—will be left unmarred. At all events, we shall have a respite. (Enthusiastic applause.) But the fearful alternative is, what will you do if the Black Republican candidate is elected ? If Buchanan is not to be elected, God grant that Fillmore, as he is a man of patriotism and principle, for I take great pleasure in testifying to his being a good man, though on the subject of slavery an abolitionist, as I know him to be from nearly 11 years' service with him in Congress—; say, God grant that he may be elected if Buchanan is not. But, Sir, he is out of sight in this race. He will serve to distract and divide neighbour from neigh bour in the south, and to fuse foes in tke north. His name will serve to shield some bad men who really do not mean an honest, bona fide support of him. (Loud cheers.l It will serve to keep off some good men and divide them from the democracy, though I am glad to see that the best of them are beginning to concede that democracy is the only hope of safety. But, if Fremont is elected, is it a wrong, they will ask, that one man is elected instead of another ? Never will we say that that is a wrong. Fremont is nothing. (Cheers.) He is less than nothing in my estimation. (Enthusiastic cheers.) He is but a mere personation of Black Republicanism —the bearer of the black flag. (Cheers.) The question will rot be, Shall Fremont reign over you and me ?' but it will be, Shall the black flag be erected—shall the higher law be executed by the President of the United States over the reign of the Constitution and the laws ? Shall property be invaded with impunity ?' Yes, you will find hundreds that will say—they begin already to say--' Ob, wait—wait for some overt act—wait for him to do some wrong. Tell me, will any person, entertaining feelings of self-respect, having the spirit and conrage of a man, wait to prepare for war while its cloud is in the horizon until the declaration of war is made ? Tell me if the hoisting of the Black Re publican flag in the hands of an adventurer, born ille gitimately in a neighbouring St a t e , if not ill-begotten in this very city—tell me it the hoisting of the black flag over you by a Frenchman's bastard, while the arms of civil war are already clashing, is not to be deemed an overt act and a declaration of war ?" The Alta California furnishes the following news : " A shocking murder was committed on the 2d of May at Heath and Emory's ferry, en the Stanislaw; river. Mr. Weeks, the proprietor of the Lone Star House, and his wife were found beneath the smoking ruins of their dwelling on that day, evidently murdered ; but no clue to the perpetrator has as yet been obtained. "Elizabeth Lazzell, a girl about 14 years old, was stolen from her parents last week by a couple of actors named Wallace and Wales. They crossed the bay, and proceeding up the opposite side, played at various ham lets on the road, leaving, as the girl says, the places where they put up, whenever practicable, without pay ing their bills. On reaching San Jose they were arrested and brought back, when the girl was restored to her home, and her kidnappers, in default. of bail, were com mitted to gaol. Their case has since been examined and sent to the grand jury. "The Vigilance Committee, before their final adjourn. ment, notified Cusick, Thompson, and Heneesy, who had previously been warned to leave the State, that they might do so by the steamer of September the sth ; after which, if found in the city, they will incur the penalty of death." A report prevailed at Panama to the effect that a treaty of peace had been agreed to between General Walker and the President of Costa Rica. Considering that this information is, in all probabi lity, derived from Costa Rican authorities, some re liance may be placed in its authenticity. On the other hand, there is a report that 1,000 men of the allied forces were on the march for Granada. Colonel Schlessinger has turned up somewhere in the inte rior. Having openly joined the enemies of Walker, he has been busily engaged in circulating an ad dress to the Americans in the Nicaraguan service, urging them to desert their colours, and denounc ing Walker as a traitor and plunderer of the people. The following is a decree of President Walker respecting the grant to Charles Morgan for the transit across Nicaragua : " The President of the Republic of Nicaragua, in vir tue of his authority, decrees : " Art. 1. The decree of the 29th Febiucry, 1856, granting to Mr. Charles Morgan and his associates, for the term of 25 years, the exclusive right and privilege of transporting, by a single route through the territory of the Republic, passengers and freight from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the exclusive right and privilege of navigating by steam all the rivers, lakes, and inland waters of the republic for the said term of 25 years, is subjected to a modification of articles 2,4, 7, and 8, which should read and be understood as follows : "Art. 2.

And to confront this statement the Government shall have free access to the books of the company, whether said books are kept within or out of the republic. "Art. 4.

"Art. 7. The grantees agree to establish within six months from the date of this agreement a monthly line of steamers between the city of New York and the port of San Juan del Norte in Nicaragua, and the other port which they may choose on the Atlantic coast, and also between the city of San Francisco and the part of San Juan del Sud, or any other which they may select on the Pacific coast ; they likewise agree to maintain the said lines for the terms of this contract, always excepting the ordinary dangers of the sea and of navigation, and in the event of any interrup tion of the lines by F °al e unforeseen disaster the gran tees shall reorganise the same as soon as may be prac ticable, and if the said lines should be successful, the grantees agree to run semi-monthly lines of steamers within one year from the date . of the execution of this contract. " Art. 8. The exclusive right which the grantees acquire by this contract of navigating the inland waters of the republic by steam is understood cot to interfere with the natives of the country., or other persons to whom the Government may please to concede the privilege of navigating the inland waters of the republic by means of sailing or other vessels, except by steam ; and that the grantees shall also carry without charge all the officials of the Government, whether civil or military, in the service of the Government, and the mails of the country, both going and returning ; and also, when the exigency of the case demands it, and no detriment or in terruption results to the transportation of passengers, they shall carry the troops of the Government, receiving in payment for such service the actual cost of running the steamers conveying them. " Art. 2. Communicated to whom it may concern. " Given at Granada the 26th of August, 1856. " WILLIAM WALKER.

From various sources we learn that Leon is entirely abandoned to the forces of the in vading army ; that there were at least 1,500 troops of Guatemala and Sau Salvador, and that there was much bickne , :s among them." Mr. Soule had purchased a rancho in Nicaragua for $50,000. Tile news from the South Pacific and Central American States is somewhat important. The suc cess of General Walker in Nicaragua has filled the minds of many of the public men of those countries wi th g.pprehension. Manifestoes and revolutions aro the order of the day. Several members of tho Civilian Legislature propose a consolidation of the Spanish American States against the encroach ments of the North American confederacy. A revo lution broke out in Peru in the latterpart of August. The insurgents, however, were speedily defeat e d by President Castillo. General Echinique was at Valparaiso with the war vessels and large supplies of ammunition. It was believed he would soon attempt to seize upon the government. EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 5. The Bombay mail arrived at Suez on Monday last, the 29th ult., and cannot leave on its return. until Tuesday next, as the Vectis, with the over land mail from Marseilles, did not arrive here until this morning. The Calcutta mail arrived at Suez on Friday last, and will leave on Tuesday next. The Colombo arrived here yesterday morning with the heavy portion of the outward-bound India mail from Southampton. It required 10 camels to carry the mail boxes from the harbour to the railway terminus. His Highness the Viceroy has returned to Cairo from Upper Egypt, whither he had proceeded to satisfy himself, by personal inspection, whether the inundation which had taken place near Cairo had arisen from natural causes, or whether the embank ments of the Nile had been maliciously cut by the inundations is significant. The Nile has risen 24 cubits, which is regarded as a most fortunate result, and promises well for the next harvest. His Highness the Viceroy has C3lThe quently- raised the land-tax 12 piastres, or 2s. 6d. the measure, equal to an English acre. Among other improvements spoken of the streets of Alex andria are to be lighted with gas, for which a con tract has been concluded between the Pasha and a Parisian company. If to lighting wore added pav ing and. cleansing the sanitary condition of Alexan dria would become tok rabic, and it might be pre served from the periodical visitations with which it is afflicted. A traveller returning to Alexandria after an ab sence of a few years will find an extraordinary im provement in the appearance of the town and the condition of the people. Three handsome churches for the Christian worship have been erected—au English Protestant, a Roman Catholic, and a Greek. Bells are heard to toll, calling the Chris- Hans to Divine service. A railway has been com pleted to Cairo, and now streets of handsome houses aro springing up. The Christian population of Alexandria has quad-. rupled within a few years, but the Greeks threaten.. at no distant period to absorb the entire trade,. of Egypt, and to their combinations is attri buted the present high price of corn. They possess an unity of purpose which belongs to no other people, and which enables them to successfully compete with older established merchants. The fanatical enthusiasm of the Arabs has con siderably diminished of late years, and even the women ;Are gradually rejecting the veil with which they used so pertivaciousiy to cover their faces. Literature, however, makes no progress in Egypt, and a newspaper which was started some years back in Alexandria has ceased to appear. There has been a considerable amount of business transacted in the corn market during the last 15 days, with a material advance in prices. The fol• lowing aro the estimated sales : IVIIEAT. Qrs.

The Black Ball packet ship Champion of the 6e - is has arrived from Melbourne with advices to the 16th July, 163 passengers, and 92,0000 z. of gold on freight. The Lightning, with the mails of the 6th May, arrived at Melbourne on the 14th July in 69 days from Liverpool. The James Baines, the mail ship of the 6th of August, had 120,0000 z. of gold already engaged on freight.. Goldfields, Moore's Fort, and Lammer muir, from London, and the Ellen Bates and Mindoro, from Liverpool, had arrived at Mel bourne. The advicea contain no political or general news of importance. The news confirmatory of the declaration of peace h'ad been received with enthusiasm by the inhabi tants of Melbourne, Sydney, &c., and each town celebrated the event by a general holiday. Commercial affairs were rather quiet. The price of gold remained at 765. per oz. From the official returns we learn that up to the 12th of July the produce of gold amounted to 1,439,5400 z. The quantity shipped up to that date was 1,693,1730 z., weighing 701 tons, and valued at 6,772,6921. sterling. The prcspects of the various gold fields were most promising. Exchange on London.--Draughts against gold purchased at 1 per cent. discount. Freights 3d. to 41d. per ounce. Insurance, 2 per cent. In the wool-market there was no change to re port, but prices ruled firm. • Tallow had declined, and quotations show a margin in favour of shippers. Hides continued in good demand, but only few were offering. demand In the labour market there was a steady p for agricultural l a b ourers . The building trades were dull. At Geelong, on the 14th of July/ the rice of gold was 765. 9d. per ounce. AUSTRALIAN RAILWAYS.—The step taken b y the South Australians in opening up the navig ation with th e river Murray having seriously excited the apprehensio ns o f th e the goldfields of the s otnoentraottoe after metropolis commercial interest and the inh abitants of Melbourne generally, will give increased ener g y to the efforts for goldfield s fro districts.i m n a t k h i e tig nc a nt r en wa3 gold, when the necessity arose for conveying large quan tities of stores to various parts of the interior to feed the suddenly located population, the absence of all means of communication pressed heavily upon all concerned. In consequence thereof certain railways were projected , chief of which was that which was to Melbourne, and running thence to _ _ 0 commence at terminate on the banks of the river Ai tint Alexander Murray. On the estimated cost of this work—viz 1 0 , 00,0001., the Colo flint Government consented t .' o guarantee 5 per cent., i n terest for 21 years, gave the compan y 50 acres of land a t th e west end of .the townl acres at Williams ' t o wn for termini, and all town, and land belonging to the Crown which the company may require. The Legisla ture also authorised a gilt of 5,0001. in a id of the vli hrnivary surveys. With all these a , lvantages the,co4 ) anY as o nly _ been able to raise 65,0001 . , one of which has been expended unproductively. Seeing this, the Government le Government has just completed the purchase of all the righo, privileges , and property of the company, giving in payment for the same 5 per cent. debentures, redeem able at par at, the expiration or 50 years, This newly acquit ed and novel description of Government property is vested in two officers of the G o vernment for and on be half of the c o lony. These gentlemen have it in contem plation to push on the works with every possible de spatch, and, as a preliminary, have ordered by the lasl - t,. ) mails respectively about 60,0001. worth of plant. —Australian and New Ze aland agiaCe. 80 79 1041 1001 1021 Tsi i 55i ' lli fi 14i 68 7 221 2 lla i 22 i 26 ftf 25 25 10 10 5 100 1~ ~
