These gentlemen, ' taken to gether, represent a good deal of property, real and personal, but, except Mr. Sargood, they are not deemed men of great authority in commercial matters. Among the candidates are two of our principal merchants, Mr.- Cruikshank and Mr. Itte. The former was in the field first, and is of such %mica ' s.; ti enable character for respectability*-orvtlit,. aid experience that but for one single blot on 'his poli tical escocheon he would have been returned with out opposition ; for the two other sham candidates do not deserve to be elevated into an opposition. The blot I allude to is that he is committed to all the squatters' absurd pretensions, his house making large advances by way of anticipation on wool, and he himself having stations. Mr. Rae has therefore been put up as one free from the squatters' fetters. The other candidates are a publican, named Money, and a "lecture r ," named Southwed. The struggle will be between Cruikslaank and Rae. As we have the new constitution the present Council will not last many weeks. Even if the estimates be asked of this Legislative Chamber, I believe they will only be granted for six - months, or perhaps for less.

Ma coroner'. inquest on View of the body of Wile Deakin, aged 3 yeare, the particulars of whose demi* at the hands of his uncle, Jas. Hill, penknife grinder, have already appeared in Th.c Sun, was held at the Town-hall, Sheffield, on Saturday afternoon. The pri soner, when before the magistrates, had expressed a Irish not to be taken before the coroner's jury. As the coro ner, however, insisted upon his being present, he was, after some demur, produced. He appeared very vale, was without coat, and had on his dirty shirt and other clothes, as when he left his workroom on Thursday night and surrendered himself to the police. He listened to the evidence given by the witnesses with marked at. tention, and several times, when reference was made to his various admission, that he had cut off his nephew'a head, he averted his face. When brought into the room, the coroner informed him that he might ask any qua- Lions he thought proper of the witnesses. He declined, however, adding, "I have nothing to say." A great number of witnesses were examined. Their evidence showed that the prisoner lett his work on Thuredny, about half-past 5 o'clock, went direct to the house of his brother-in-law ' and invited hi s nep h ew to go out with him for a walk. He took the child to a brickyard within about 100 yards from the house of the child's parents, and there with a razor almost severed its head from its body. He then returned to his workroom. What then passed was detailed by one of the witnesses in a state ment not differing in the least from what we have already published.—T'aomas Copley, another grinder, who accompanied the prisoner to the Town Hall to say - - render himself, said : The prisoner told me that when he cut the child's throat, he put his hand over its mouth to prevent it screaming. —Mr. Raynor, chieeconstable, said : On Thursday eveninc, I went into the receivime. office at the Town Hall. I asked, " What is all thi s about, my man ?" He afterwards to'd me he had left the child beside a wall, close to the brickyard in Moor. street. On Friday afternoon I was informed by an officer that he (the prisoner) wanted to see me. I saw him, and asked what he wanted. He said to see his niece Emma - Londe and her husband. He then said it was a very odd thine he had taken the child to the same place the night before, and when he got there his heart misgave him, and he took it back again. He added, " I again took it there last night and did the job." I asked, " Whatever could have been your motive ?" He replied,. " I cannot tell. My brother-in-law and sister have always been very kind to me." He also says, " I don't know what my poor father and mother must do, for I was their only support. My mother is 65, and iny father 75 years of age, and I hope they will be taken to the workhouse and dealt kindly with." Mr. James Farewell Wright, surgeon, said : I have examined the body of the deceased. I found an incised wound in the fore part of the throat and neck, 4 to 5 inches in length and about 2 inches deep, diriding the larynx and large vessels ; also the carotid and jugular veins, and nearly separating the vertebrte of the neck. The wound would cause instantaneous death. The head is only kept on by the integuments of the back part of i1.0 7 -The coroner then explained to th e p r i soner the nature of the evidence against him, and told him that he need not say anything unless he chose. The priseoer replied, "I have nothing, to say." The coroner having briefly summed up, ths jury deliberated a few minutes, and then 'returned a unanimous verdict of " Wilful murder" against the psi. loner James Hill, and he was committed for trial at the ensuing assizes. It is understood that on his trial evi• deuce will be given of his having on several occult:ma manifested symptoms of insanity. 1853. 1854. 1855. Oz.. Oz. O z .

PUBLICATIONS. MELBOURNE, OCT. :U. The Ben Nevis, one of the White Star line, sailed on the 18th inst. As she is not a fast sailer, and the Champion of the Seas is appointed to sail on the 25th, I did not think it worth while to write by the former, especially as I had written so re cently by the Donald McKay. The commercial clasSes have certainly had their time Of trial, and if seems almost out of the power even of the steady increase in the quantity of gold (no less than 65,000 ounces in the week ending the 13th of October) - to - reanimate public confi demo; It no* seems more than prObable that the land jobbers' turn is come, and. a. " land panic" seems almost inevitable. The first effect of the discovery of gold was to depress the demand for and price of land in and near Melbourne. There was a rush to - the diggings. The town was aban doned, and, as there was a considerable interval before people came into the colony, it seemed to the short-sighted that " Melbourne was ruined." In one instance a property of about 30 acres, about two miles from Melbourne, was sold for 1,2001., with a good house upon it. In the hands of a skilful jobber,- cut up into small "lots to suit pur chasers," it would probably have realised 30,0001.. in 1853, and even now it is valued at 8,0001. An other property of 40 acres in thesame neighbour hood, which &anged 'hands at 300/. some few years ago, was sold in 1852 for 4,000/. ; and again a few months later for 12,000/. It w,euld have realised 30,000/. or 40,000/. at the highest time, and al though large sums have been since expended on it in improvements, I doubt whether it would now sell for 12,0001. The October Government land sale is just over, and the result has greatly alarmed the jobbers. Town land at North Melbourne, near an elevated and healthy spot called the " Flagstaff-hill," was put up in lots of about a quarter of an acre at the upset price of 300/. per acre. Such of the lotsas were sold brought a pound or two above the upset price, and for many lots there was no bid, and they were withdrawn. Eighteen months ago land in that spot sold at the Government sale at the rate of about 3,0001. per acre, and I have been told that some private sales—the seller tempting the buyer by "liberal terms"—in plain English, part credit—of land in the same locality yielded 18 times as much per acre as the present upset price. I know some land about four miles and a half from Melbo4rne, which, in " lots to suit purchasers" with terms libe ral," sold, in 1853 or early in 1854, at 4501. or 500/. per acre. The same land would scarcely now bring 50/. per acre, and even that price is the result of a lingering delusion. In this matter a sort of theory had grown up the low prices for anything were utterly inconsis tent with our large supply of gold. It was asserted in the Council that there cauld be no more insol vency. 1 believe the first to discover the mistake were the importers of boots and shoes. They dis covered that, having brought into the colony four or five times as many as people could wear, not even 10,000,000 ounces of gold could prevent a glut and mere nominal prices. Then followed the im porters of "revolvers." Having provided for some thing like the arming, or double-arming; of all our women and children as well as our men, they were puzzled to find that the Melbourne price was below the London price, although 65,000 oz. came down last week. In this way down tumbled article after article—straw bonnets, lucifer matches, rum sperm candles, Cork butter—everything except food, and its turn is to come. The fi:c; is, that the efficient demand for land for use, as distinct from speculation or anticipated use, is more than satiated. I have already, in a former letter, pointed out in what manner Melbourne and the smaller towns of the colony may be made to contain many times their present population with out any extension of their present boundaries— namely, by building on vacant spaces, and replacing the many single-storey, or mere ground- floor houses, by three and four storey dwellings and warehouses. This process, called into use by the high price of town land, is nove going on to a large extent. A very large number of the purchases at the highest prices were partly on credit, and properties are now selling every day for less than the mortgage money. Excepting town lands in a few favoured streets of business, and villa lands in choice situa tions, for which people will pay " fancy prices," I see no reason why the ordinary run of suburban land as well as country land should not get down to something like what may be called an agricul tural price ; that is, inasmuch as, if us3d at all, they must be used for cultivation, the measure of their value is what the cultivator can afford,to pay. The Land Department here, which seems to have seen about an inch beyond its nose, has favoured the popular delusion by subdividing land into in finitesimal portions, creating townships where they are not wanted, limiting the quantity exposed for sale for the purpose of showing a high rate per acre. Having thus fed the demand by instalments, as it were, the accumulated supply now exceeds the effective demand, and hence the result of the Oc sales. AUSTRALIA.

A few days ago we announced an Imperial ukase as having been issued at St. Petersburg, authoris ing the issue of paper money to the extent of 54,000,000 of silver roubles ; the date of the ukase it; 12th January, and the text runs as follows : - - " The notes of the Imperial Treasury of the 12th, 18th, 14th, 15th, 16tb, 17th, 18th, and 19th series, which were emit:ed in conformity with the Imperial ukases of March 10th and June 30th, 1848, ought to be called in in 1856. In the enactment respecting these Imperial treasury notes, the Government reserved to itself in section 6 the right of renewing such notes as should not have been paid in to Government offices in the meantime, if this should be found desirable for the cir culation. For this reason, and en account of the extra ordinary outgoings caused by existing circumstances, we have considered it neeecsary, in harmony with the proposal of the Minister of Finance, which has been examined by the Council of the Empire, to issuenew notes in the place of the series mentioned above, and, in addi tion, to order the emission of 10 new series of Imperial Treasury notes. We, therefore, order the issue of 18 new series of Imperial Treasury notes, from xxxvii, up to inclusive, each to the amount of 3,000,000 of silver rou bles (54,000,000 altogether), of which 8,000,000 will take the place of those issued in 1848, and 10,000,000 will go to recruit the Imperial Treasury. It is at the same time entrusted to the Minister of Finance to apply to us for special ukases from time to time for the gradual issue of these series in proportion as necesoity may call for them." During the early part of this year, owing to the enormous price of flour (401. to 501. per ton), there was really a good demand for farms. This th e Land-ofliee ought to have met. But it was wedded to the small allotment and high-rate system, and neglected the golden opportunity of selling a large quantity of country land until too l a t e . There is now no confidence in the maintenance of the price of flour and wheat. Oats are very low. Hay is moderate, and the demand for farming land has, to a certain extent, passed away. Reduced rents, a declining price of land, food at a moderate price, the supply of gold increasing, and trade reviving, aro features favourable to the prospects of immigrants, and all these elements in our condition now prevail. The mineral resources of this colony are continu ally receiving fresh illustration and development. There has been a great " rush" to Fiery Creek, and the surface diggings are said to be yielding well. Now diggings, a rich quartz vein, have been dis covered about 25 miles from Geelong. Their exact position is kept " dark" by the discoverers until they can get their claims marked out by the Com missioners according to regulations. The speci mens exhibited are very rich in gold, and will, if the whole vein is equally rich, pay well for crushing. The general revenue for the quarter ha s i ncrease d 14,9871.

It has already received numerous signatures :-- "TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE AND HONOURABLE TEM MEMBERS OF THE notst or COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. "The petition of " Humbly sbeweth,—That your petitioners are of opi nion that the possession of wealth and family influence should be no longer recognised by the Government of a free country as standards for the regulation of military merit ; or for conferring exclusive privileges upon any class of her Majesty's subject'. "That we, accordingly, participate in the feeling of dis satisfaction recently expressed throughout her Majesty's dominions by the public press, of all shades of political opinions, at the exclusive privileges conferred on the offi cers of the regiments of Foot Guards, and the additional advantages solicited in their behalf, in a memorial ad dressed to her Majesty, the Queen, on the 17th of Augast last, a few days after the last adjournment of your honour able house by H. It. H. Prince Albert anti the other colonels and officers commanding these regiments. "That the rapid advancement of incomp :tent officers to important commands, consequent upon such unmerited privileges, is not only calculat e d t o l ower t h e mili tary character of this country in the eyes of other nations, brit to augment the feelings of jealousy which have so long prevailed amongst other nieritorious candi dates for promotion in those regiments of cavalry, infantry, and artillery, who, notwithstanding their exposure to vi cissitudes of climate, . . . . sanguinary conflicts, and other contingencies consequent upon foreign service, for the protection of our colonial possessions in all pert; of the globe, have the mortification to find, after attaining the rank of captain, that it frequently required from 20 to 30 years before they could obtain the suhseeuent steps of ma jor and lieutenant-colonel without purchase or other un due influence, which three steps are obtained in one day by officers of the Guards, who are not exposed to such contingencies, but who have been in the enjoyment of comparative domestic repose during our late European peace of 40 years. " That, in consequence of this rapid promotion, officers of the Guards attain, while comparatively young men, the rank of General, and command of armies in the field, to the exclusion of officers of the lino of recognised capacity and merit, but whose advanced ages, by the time they generally attain this rank, affords a pretext for the pre ference thus given to officers of the Guards, as recently ex perienced in the Crimea, where none but officers who had been in the Guards were entrusted with the chief com mand, and in whom a degree of incapacity hail been mani fested on certain occasions that did not tend to augment our military reputation, nor the confidence of the troop', nor of the public in the officers thus selected, nor in the system by which such comparatively rapid advancements had been regulated. " That the valuable lives of many regimental officers and soldiers had been thus unnecessarily sacrificed, in a man ner that, by all accounts, excited not only the sync:path es of our gallant allies, bat even of the common enemy, who, at the same time, could not withhold their admiration of the bravery of our troops, who would not, it i s p resume d , have been thus exposed had the chief command been con fided, as in the armies of other nations, to officers whose pretensions for such important trusts had been founded in a reputation for merit acquired in the execution of regi mental duties, and not on pretensions founded ou family influence, staff appointments, or the purchase of commis sions. " That by the said memorial it appears that the privi lege of promotion by purchase had been introduced iu the reign of Charles 11. ; and, also, that the rank of lieutenant colonel had been conferred upon captains of the Guards by his successor, James 11., the year preceding the rebellion of 108, when the family of th ese monarchs had been ex pelled from the throne for repeated acts of infringement on the constitutional rights and privileges of the people of this country, facts that your petitioners beg leave to submit to your honourable House ought to tend to the removal of such unmerited privileges, rather than to their augmenta tion as solicited by the before-mentioned memorial : your petitioners having no doubt that our present most gracious Sovereign reposes more confidence in the affections of her loyal subjects than upon any confidence that could result from unmerited privileges conferred upon any class of officers in her Majesty'a service—a confidence in the affec tions of the people of this country, which had not been enjoyed by the Sovereigns who introduced such innova tions into the British Army. would, moreover, That the abolition of such unmerited privilegesor the ad vancementmoreover, be the moans of opening the doors _ ter class of men would be thus induced voluntarily of merit, when even found in therankst,oaeobteetr eln:het- bounties in the streets of London and other populous with t o whom associate her Majesty's service than the class now sought for by high e p i l o a o c e e d s : 0 ffi m ee e men s o f w a o b o i l l d i ability o a and oger hesitate education, thus advanced, and the objections heretofore made to such advancement thus removed. "That your petitioners, so far from attaching any blame to the officers of the Guards, in whose behalf this memo rial was presented , consider them entitled to every pra i se, for rn notice, otonlyca but using these facts to h ave b een thus brought to public for the desire they appear to express thaton an equ a lit y w i t h their cox• radestohey shouldftheline;le placed')or,a as stated in the concluding line of that memorial, ' in a pesition, in short, which will put them upon a footing of equality with the remainder of her Majesty's service.' •• That the system is what your petitioners object; as a vicious system, when once recognised in any department of the State, becomes, invariably, the patron of bribery, corruption, and other minor abuses, a detrimenb to the public service, and prejudicial to the character of the country —more particularly at a period like the present, when its energies have been called forward in a great pub lic cause in alliance with an enlightened continental State, where merit is recognised as the only passport to advanc3- ment, and where the superior advantages of this principle of action, compared with our system of routine, have bees so frequently manifested during our recent oonjoiut tioos. " That when so much incapacity in the heads of public departments, and so many evils inherent in this system, have been thus brought to light, without any prospect of remedy being provided, your petitioners are apprehensive that no individual exertions will be of any avail, nor any effectual remedy be provided, unless your honourable House should be pleased to address her Majesty on the subject.

The January adjourned sessions of the peace for the county of Middlesex commenced this morning, at Clerk enwell, before the Assistant. Judge and a full Court. There were 79 prisoners for trial, 72 charged with felony, and 7 with misdemeanour. The Assistant-Judge delivered a short charge to the grand jury. IVilliatn, A Lott, 19, was indicted for feloniously break ing and entering the dwelling-house of James flempy, and stealing therein five spoons and other articles valued at 201., his property. The prosecutor lived at 1, De Beauvoir-place, Kings land, and during the night of the 31st of December some one got into his house by taking a pane of glass out of the back kitchen window, and then unfastening the bolts. About six o'clock on the morning of the Ist in stant James Thorn, police-constable 485 N, found a sack filled with various articles at a corner of Stamford-road. He concealed himself, and in a short time the prisoner made his appearance with a truck, upon which he tried to place the sack. He said to him, "You bare got a heavy load this morning ;" to which he replied. " Yes, it is rather heavy ;" and, in answer to an inquiry as to what the sack contained, be said, "Only a few thirgs lam going to take to market." He kept him in con versation till another constable came up, and they took him in charge. On inquiry being made it was found that a robbery had been committed at the prosecutor's, and the whole of the articles in the sack were identified as having been stolen from his house on the night in question. The jury fi.und the prisoner guilty. The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to 18 months' hard labour, and said he should hav e sen t enced him to penal servitude if there bad been anything known against him. John Shaw, 30, was indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the dwelling house of William Patten, and stealing therein a coat and other articles, his property. Mr. Payne appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Horry for the prisoner. The prosecutor stated that he lived at 2, Little Cam bridge-place, Hackney road. dt a quarter to six on the morning of the 31st of December he left home to go to work, and on his return in the evening he found a po liceman there with a coat, trousers, an other articles of clothing, his property. When he went out in the morn ing he left his five children at home, but only the young est of them was there when he returned. Eleanor Patten, 18 years of age, said she was the daughter of the prosecutor, and on the day in question she left home with the other children, having previously securely fastened the doors. On her return about seven o'clock she was surprised to see a light in the front room downstairs, and on screaming out it was extinguished. A man rushed out of the doorway, and she said, " Is that you, father ?" it being so dark at the time that she could not see who it was. The man replied, " It's all right," but she said it was not all right, and laid hold of him by the arm, but hi broke away and ran off. She pursued him, and he was stopped by a butcher, who held him until a policeman came up, and then gave:him n charge. On going home she found a bundle of cloth ing packed up ready for removal. The prisoner h a d a two skeleton keys were picked up, an d one the policeman, and near the s p o t where it of them, it was found, would open the door of th e pro secutor's house. stotroukggplleac with eih The jury found kim guilty.

Since st then of n w determined burglars in that neighbourhood. The Assistant-Judge said it was quite clear that the prisoner was a very bad character, and it was entirely owing to the courageous and creditable.condu c t of the girl, Eleanor Patten, that he was secured and brought to justice. The Court owed it to the public to pass a se vere sentence in such cases, when clearly proved, t o d eter others. The sentence was that the prisoner be kept in penal servitude for six years, and, in consideration of the praiseworthy conduct of the girl Patten, the Court would direct that 20s. should be given to her. Chas. Hompey, convicted at the last sessions of assault ing a police constable and throwing him off the roof of a shop in the Holloway-road, was brought up for judg ment and sentenced by Mr. Witham to two years' hard labour. AlturvAL or GOLD.--It is understoodUthat about 200,0001. of the gold brought by the Champion of the Seas has been taken to the Bank of England. The re maining 300,0091., it is- presumed, will all be Bent to Paris in the course of the week. AMERICA.—The commercial advices from New York yesterday were uninteresting, except that they show a re action in the stock-market, consequent upon renewed re ports of a desire on the part of the President to fasten a quarrel upon England in connection with Mr. Crampton and the enlistment question. A few days previously there had been a rapid rise in most descriptions of secu rities, and the money market altogether bad assumed an improved appearance. The latest quotations of the principal railway stocks were--Erie, 502 ; Reading, 92; Panama, 992 ; and Illinois Central Bonds, 811.
