The dates are : 7 —Calcutta, to the 23d January ; Bombay, 21 February ; Hong-Kong, 15th January. INDIA. The following is a summary of the Bombay Times of Feb. 2 : The past fortnight, we regret to say, leaves no room for our customary complaint of want of war like intelligence ; and though the British empire in the •E ist enjoys undisturbed repose, there are serious disqu etudes somewhat beyond the limits of its border, and we have at present ships of war on . the hostile mission both in the Red Sea and Per sian Gulf. We mentioned a fortnight since that such was the disturbed state of the country round Aden that the resident, Brigadier Coghlan, had applied to the Bombay Government for a detach ment of Irregular Horse, and preparations appear at present to he in contemplation fur their despatch. On the 14th inst. the Queen, Steamer, was des patched to Juddah, to afford protection to the French and English consuls in the southern ports of Arabia, and to endeavour to suppress the con test, there threatened betwixt the Turks and Arabs. From time immemorial a flourishing trade in slaves has prevailed betwixt the chief places on the Arabian and African shores. Massowah, a town of between 3;000 and 4,000 population, is the chief point of .export. Sometimes as many as 1,000 slaves are to be found here together ready for slap ment in vessels of sonic 25 tons for Juddah, on the opposite coast. About a fourth part of them are believed to die of sickness, or perish by their own hands on the way. They consist chiefly of Gallas, who are smart, clever, and faithful ; men at the age of 25 fetch from $3O to .s t 4o; a good-looking girl for the harem fetching about double this. Next to there are the Abyssinians, for the most part Christians after a sort, entrapped into slavery by the Mahomedans, who inhabit the bor ders of Abyssinia between the mountains and the sea. They are sold by auction, the auctioneer receiv ing a dollar per head, the government raising a tax of about as much more. There used to be about 2,000 slaves sold annually at Massowah, of whom one-half were Christians. Some months since the Sultan, formerly the great protector of the slave trade, issued orders to the . Turkish authorities at Juddah and Mecca for its suppression. The order was sent by the Pacha of Jeddah to the Kahmukun of Mecca, who, having referred the matter to the Cadii it was proclaimed as Imperial, and to be implicitly obeyed. The Ulemahs and inhabitants on this proceeded to the Court of Justice, to de -1 mand on what authority the abolition of slavery had been ordered. On the &man of the Sultan being quoted, it was denounced by them as op posed to the Koran, and the Cali being attacked, escaped with his lif e , an d w ith diffi cu lty f oun d refuge in the sanctuary. The Kahmukun having come to his rescue, the order was read a second time, but treated with such scorn that violence im mediately ensued, and numbers were wounded on both sides. The troops having fired at the Muzzin, and shot the priest as he went up to prayer a battle followed betwixt them and the townspeople, iu which about a hundred of the latter fell, when a general rising all around immediately ensued. The troops were compelled to retreat, and were beleaguered in the fort. Abd-el-Mentalib, a mal content at , time arrived at Mecca, and almost immediately after Resollid Pacha reached from Constantinople, with instructions from the Porte to seize him and send him to the capital. Sherif Nazir was ap pointed to act in his stead, until the nomination of his successor Mahomed bin Awn. A. similar amount of excitement, and from the same cause, had arisen at Juddah, and both places are now in a state of siege. Meanwhile the people told the autho rities that as the laws relating to slavery were founded on the Koran, they must remain unal• tered ; and, that as the Sultan, who had been always hitherto the most strenuous defender and vigorous promoter of slavery 'in these parts, must, doubtless, on the present occasion, have been moved by the allies, the French and English, the flags of these nations must be pulled down, and their representatives expelled. The Pacha of Jud dah, taking the consul under his protection, pro posed referring the question to the Porte, when the multitude declared that unless their wishes were complied with instantly, they would take the mat ter into their own hands. The insurrection threa tem to extinguish the power of Turkey in Arabia altogether ; the Sultan can only look to Egypt for aid, and Egypt itself is alniost powerless. It is ono of the miserable concomitants of our present war, that while fighting for a principle, we are supporting an authority which it would bo well for the interests of humanity were it extin guished. The barbarou s p o li cy o f Turkey has pre vailed so long, and become so deeply impressed on all whom she rules, that - when, at the instigation of her allies anything liberal is attempted, the dis memberment of the empire is threatened. It is to be hoped that the duties of the Queen steamer will be restricted to the protection of British' subjects and prevention of the slave t ade by sea, and that we shall not, on this ocieas' le, embroil ourselves. in a quarrel which in uo concerns us, and where our interference can 1,4 of no advantage. Turning from the Red Sea la the Persian Gulf, the particulars of the quarrel betwixt the Shah and. our ambassador will probably E by this time have reaehed home. We have two versions of the mat ter ; one that of the Court of Persia, the other of,' the embassage—the discrepancy betwixt which we 'shall leave the reader. to reconcile as- he best can. Some half century ago, when Sir J. Malcolm was deputed to Teheran to arratio our affairs with the Shah, the privilege was , demanded by, and conceded to, that somewhat overbearing diplomatist, that the British residency should' become a sanctuary, and that every one whom the ernbassage-should consider as an attache should, when so etesiring it s enjoy the privilege& aieetisiaissunitiossaa TlVitish bobs ect.. Some years since Mirza Hashim Khan, a man of rank, , when in the employment of the Shah, had married a sister of the favourite wife of the sovereign. Having. got into disfavour with the court, he, about the time cf the retirement of - Mr. Sheil in 1853, became interpreter to the embassy. In the interregnum of the secretary, Mr. Thomson, and before the arrival of Mr. Murray in 1855, the Prime Miuister com plained, that as the interpreter was at personal strife with him, it would be particularly unplea sant for them to meet on. official affairs, and he therefore requested his dismissal from the employ ment of the embassy. The questioftwasreferred to Lord Clarendon, who, though holdin g dismissal entirely out of the question, consid ere d the main tenance of friendship with the minister so desirable, that he recommended the interpreter to be em ployed somewhere at a distance from the capital. Mr. Murray accordingly determined to attach him to the agency at Shiraz, and thitherward ho was in Novemi,er about to proceed, when it was found that his wife was to be detained by the authority of the Shah, and here dissension began. The Shah protested against the arrogance of the principle which gave the ambassador of a foreign power more authority within his dominions than the Sovereign himself possessed. A like claim was put forth by the representatives of no other nation, and was never dreamt of being aspired to even by England anywhere but in the East. It is now maintained by the court of Persia that it was not the husband who was so particularly anxious for the restoration of the lady, and that the suspicion of dishonour should net be suffered to attach to the Shah's harem through her release. Mr. Murray protested against the introduction of a supposed affair of gallantry into the negotiations of nations at all, and argued that this was a mere pre tence—that the Persian Prime Minister having se cured one concession had resolved to push matters to extremities. The Shah denied the dispute the character of a national quarrel, and said tha't it was with Mr. Murray, not with England, that he was at strife, and that to England accordingly be would appeal. Meanwhile the ambassador pulled down his flsg, `and proceeded to Moosul to take up his quarters for the present, Mr. Stevens remaining as consul to take charge of British interests. This gentleman, very unfortunately, was most obnoxious to the court of Teheran, and with the Shah refused to have any intercourse, stating that Persia would be responsible for the protection of British interests and the safety of British subjects, and - that the peace of two great nations must not be suffered to be en dangered by the dissensions of individuals. Intern. gence of these things reached Bombay on thel6th Jan. by the Semiramis, which had been on a cruise to the gulf, copies of the correspondence having been forwardedlo the Bombay government by the am bassader, with a request fur the immediate despatch of a steamer to 13ushire. The Assaye, Ajdaha, Semirimes, and Victoria steamers, and Olive sloop skl,war„were o s rderedjo . be got in instant readiness for sea. Extensive supeteiewere'Said to have been ordered from the commissariat, and a land force was spoken of as under orders. Much of this turned out to be exaggeration, the Ajdaha and Victoria, which left for toe gulf on the evening of the 19th, with 60 artillerymen on board to work the guns, being the only force dispatched or in con templation. There are not five dozen British sub jects in all resident on the seamoard of Persia, and had these found themselves in danger, they might at any time have sought refuge in native craft, and obtained the protection of our faithful ally the Imams' of Muscat, a part of whose dominionsiselose by. The charges of the expedition as it now stands will amount to about halt the sum ex pended annually in the education of Western Within our dominions tranquillity is nearly universal, and the cold season runs en. towards its close without any foray or act of violence on our borders. A considerable force is collected round Oodey pore, the Rana, it is asserted, being alike with his chiefs dissa.tistieel with tiio extent to which our interposition has proceeded. It is hoped not the less that the promp►itude of the measures being adopted, conjoined with the influence and high character of Sir Henry Lawrence, will prevent matters proceeding to extremities, and save from the destruction sure to be the result of the Rmj pootana chiefs, whose independence it has long been our policy to preserve. Troops continue to accumulate at Cawnpore, and arrangements advance steadily and tranquilly for the an nexation of Oudu. We have scarcely any addi tional particulars on the subject since our last, but there seems no apprehension of our wishes being resisted, or of the occurrence of conflict or shedding. of blood. Although the Sonthal disturbances no longer wear the character of an insurrection, the country continues far more quiet. The Governor-General has expressed his dis pleasure at the conduct of Brigadier Mackenzie in the Bolarum procession affair ; at the same time the ringleaders in the disturbance have been dis missed, and the course pursued on both points ap pears to command approval. Sir William Gown' has taken a final leave of the Bengal army, at the conclusion of a five years' ad ministration remarkable for its nullity.• Mr. Frere, commissioner of Scinde, proceeds on sick leave by this day's steamer to England, Colonel John Jacob, of the Irregular Horse, occu pying his place during his absence. It is now five years since Mr. Frere's administration commenced, and known as he was to be a man of high principle, of singular ability and discretion, the popularity and confidence he has secured have surpassed the expectations of the warmest of his admirers. Se lected in 1842 by Sir George Arthur as his private secretary, on the recommendation of the late Col. Wm. Jacob, on the score solely of his merits, Mr. Frere, en the retirement of the Governor, suc ceeded Col. Outram in 1846 as resident at the court of •the Rajah of Ssttara. He was in office at the period of the death of the chief and appropria tion of his dominions by the British Government in 1848. Our prospective Governor General, Lord Can ning, is at present sojourning amongst us, having arrived from Suez by the Perez() on the 28th ult. He was received in great state at a landing-place prepared on purpose in the dockyard, but too late in the evening to see about him. The arrangements were altogether new, all previous governors having disembarked at the Apollo Pier, one of the finest landing-places in India. A grand levee occurred on the 30th, followed by a native durbar. On the 31st his lordship visited the caves of Kennery in Salsette, examined the Vehar hills, and closed the day by performing in state the ceremony of turning the first sod of our projected waterworks. The impression made by Lord and Lady Canning during their sojourn has been eminently favour able, and they will leave us, after the visit of a week, infinitely more familiar with the history and topography of our neighbourhood, and manners and customs of the people, than some of our gover nors could boast of at the close of their administra tion. Ho leaves on the sth, taking Madras in his way to Calcutta, and will assume office about the Ist of March. The Marquis of Dalhousie continues at Calcutta, winding up the arrangements at the close of an administration of unusual length and auspiciousness, and leaving behind him a name scarcely perhaps rivalled since that of the days of WelleNley. We intimated four months since the commencement of spinning operations at Mr. Lau don's cotton factory at Broach. The yarns have now come to the market, and are spoken of in terms of the highest commendation. Though made, we believe, excluSively of short staple Broach cot ton, they fetch in the market nearly 10 per cent. more than Manchester yarns of the same designa tion, and orders have in consequen , ze already been received sufficient to keep the factory in conetan4 work for the next four months. Mr. Landon pre pared his estimates on the assumption of Broach yarn fetching English prices, and on this . point his expectations have been realised. We have heard of no contretemps or accident having oc curred amongst his arrangements, and have no Auubt that his outlay has . kept within the mark. The weather continues cool and agreeable. There is a great tightness in the money mar ket, and stocks of all descriptions have depre ciated in value. The state of the import market continue; to be very discouraging . Freights have suddeuly and rapidly advanced. • MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

( Trorn the Revd .Hurkara of Jan. 23 ) SUMMARY.-Our last half-monthly summary, under date the Bth inst., announced the proclama tion of peace in the disturbed districts, the abroga tion of martial law, and the re-establishment of the ordinary course of government- amongst the Son thals. We regret to say that all these proceedings appear to have been premature. Peace has not been restored. The savages still show a hostile front, and the peaceful inhabitants of our provinces are still exposed to pillage and massacre. The civilisa tion of our rule degenerates into effeminacy. We have waited till the last moment in expecta tion of having it in our power to supply to osr readers the proclamation respecting the annexation of the kingdom of Oude ; but although hourly looked for it has not yet appeared. Anticipation is at fault between the two courses of annexation and sequestration. In either case a formal broach of faith will be committed, and if circumstances com pel us to infringe the faith of treaties, we earnestly trust it will be done in the most effectual manner, and that everything partaking of the characteristics of patchwork orhalf measures will be most carefully eschewed. With the exception of the renewed outbreak of the S9uthals, nothing of moment has occurred within the fortnight under review. The steamer Oriental, with the mail of 10th December, only reached Calcutta last evening, and wEilst we write we have before us the first bulletin from Bombay, announcing the receipt of intelligence from London to the 24th ult. We would direct attention to the proceedings of the Inaigo Planters' Association. The body will acquire much influence and achieve a p ore a deal of good, by keeping in "VieTv — tlite Objects - the_y, have taken in hand, and pursuing them in the practical, common-sense style which seems to dis . tinguich the association. A farewell ball to Lord Dalhousie and Lldy Susan Ramsay is on the Lapis. The new commander-in-chief, General Ansor, lanied last evening with great ie!at. THE ANNEXATION OF OUDE. (Prom, the Bengal. Burl am.) The kingdom of Oude is to be annexed, we are informed on good authority, and we believe that the Marquis of Dalhousie will admit of no other alter native. If the time has come for a decision on the subject of what is to be done, any half measures, such as sequestration or double government, as in the Nizam's territories and Gwalior, will never meet his approval. If the Gordian knot must be cut, lie twill cut it effectually. Interference in any manner must be contrary to the original treaties, and since interference has been determined upon, the Marquis of Dalhousie is not the man we take him to be if that interference shall only be a half measure. We hope to see no such vacillation on his part, and that having once tome to the conclu sion that the mgis of Britain must be extended over this kingdom, it will be extended in all its amplitude. Titus will fall a weak dynasty—a par venu King and kingdom, and the work of our own hands. Tee Nuwabs of Oude formerly held the heredi tary rank of Wuzeer at the court of the Great Mogul, and as time rolled on became true mayors of the palace, governing iu the name of the King. In 1764, when Kasim Alee, the Nuwab of Bengal, fled before the English to the protection of the Oude Nuwab, the English found the latter in pos session of the person of the King of Delhi, and ruling over the territories still remaining to the Crown. He boldly refused to give up Kasim Alee, and thereupon followed the battle and his defeat at Buxar. The Emperor of Delhi also escaped, and sought refuge in the English camp. After further defeats and Kasim Alee having fled, as the Nuwab was no longer able to protect him, a treaty was made at Allahabad. in 1765. The Emperor gave up all claims for arrears of revenue, and granted the perpetual Dewanee of Bet,gal, Behar, and Orissa, to the East India Company ; and the same company took all the territory from Allaha bad to Corah from the Nuwab of Oude, in trust for the Emperor. In 1774 the disgraceful alliance with the Nuwab Wuzeer was completed for deatreying the Rohillas. The English lent their army for the purpose and obtained the cession of the !province of Benares and other ',advantages, returning Allahabad. and Corals to the Nuwab, the Emperor having in the meantime left the protection of the company. In 1781 occurred the fatuous seizure of the territories of the Begums of Oude. ,by Warren Hastings, on the charge of having aided Cheyt Sing in the Benares rebellion. At the same time some terri torry was taken from the Nuwab of Oude himself in payment of the debts due to the company for assistance under the alliance before mentioned. The Nuwab now found he had sold himself to a more dangerous friend than the Rohillas could have proved as enemies. In 1784 the Governor-Ge neral himself went to Lucknow to endeavour to ad just the difficult questions already arising between the two powers ; but he only succeeded in squeez ing out more money from the Nuwab on account of those endless debts native princes are always, in some mysterious way, owing to the company. When the Marquis of Hastings was appointed Governor-General, he found Oude still requiring re formation, and he pressed the necessity thereof on Suadut Alee, then Nuwab Wuzeer, with the usual success. At that period, however, the English were in a most dangerous position, as they had a war on their hands with Nepaul, and Makrattas and Pinda rees wore forming combinations which threatened to extend to all the native princes. The poiitical posi tion of these powers became so formidable, that the Marquis of Hastings now deemed it advisable to make sure of one friend at least. He addressed him self to the Nuwab of Oude, and found little diffi culty with him. The reforms were no longer obsti nately pressed, and he succeeded in borrowing two crores of rupees from the Nuwab. He also hit upon that curious piece of diplomacy by which he was to be detached from the cause of all the kings and chiefs of India. He was encouraged to declate himself " king," and informed that the English Governineni would recognise him as king, and erect his territory into a kingdom. Suadut Alee could not resist the bait. In 1819 he proclaimed hiinself King, and Lord Hastings boasted of this act as dissolving the con nection between him and the Great Mogul, besides placing a barrier for ever between him and all other Mahomedan powers. At the time the success was complete, and the disgrace and contempt into which the parvenu king fell in the eyes of all native princes effectually prevented any coalition. From that date . the Kings of Oude have fallen helplessly into the be de a the Eva*. The energetic priacez of more warlike times have disappeared, and have been succeeded by kings educated solely in the harem, without fear of outward en ernies,and irresponsible to anyone but a friendly and protecting po er, and Oude has had a succession of detestable debauchees, who have dis graced the throne and its patrons. Were the English to be strictly bound by the treaties entered into with the rulers of Oude annexation would be indefensible; but the difficult question how far such treaties' are as binding as the laws of the . Medes and Persians wilt now be settled. After the conqueit of the Pindarees and the Mahrattas, the Marquis of Hastings declared the Eng lish Government the paramount power in India, demand ing thereby a cerain, tight to interfere in the internal management of provinces within hit 'power. That such a declaration was absolutely necessary for the safety of the 'English empire cannot be doubted. Yet we feel ve tread on tender ground when we attempt to argue that a treaty can be tampered with. THE CALCUTTA MARKETS. (From the Bengal Ilurkaru, Jan. 23.) - GENERAL REMARKS. Since the issue of our last report, our export trade has not displayed any signs of activity, the business in pro gress being generally oa a moderate scale, and the value of many staplc articles on the decline, thelaSt sdvices freta home not being of a nature to render extensive operations at all advisable. Indigl appears to tas the only article which is firmly held at an adVainki of about 5 to 7-8 per maund. We' c pamplilaiszstirjx..-, immix's:RAO in the import litiiiket, either as regards the deiriaifir or 'the pii:;e, of the different articles of British piece kootio, in which operations continue to be carried on with great caution by native dealers. The state of our money market remains unaltere , i, and so long as our banks maintain extreme rates of haterek-t and discount no improvement can be looked fir. Go vernment securities have been 'improving during the present week, Sicca four per cents. b.)ing quoted at Re. 18.0 to 18-8 ; company's four per cents., at. Rs. 15-8 to 16.8,' and five per cents. at Rs. 1-4 to 1.8 per cent. discount. Bank of Bengal shares are firmly held at Rs. 6,500 to 6,525, and other j-tint•stock companies shares maintain previous value. _ _ ExonaINGE.-- 2 The rates on England have given way, and the last few days' operations t ► some extent were concluded at the following figures :—First-class credits at six, months' sight, 2.. 22d. to 2s. 2.td ; document balm ditto, 2s. 20. to 2s. 31d. ; Treasury and post bills, 2s. 11d. to is. 14d. On China some business has been done-at R.;. 214 to Rs. 216 per 100 FRElGHTS.—Shippers not having shown much willing ness to enter into any considerable engagements the rags to Londo■ had partially declined, but they were rather firm yesterday.

CHINA. ( From the China Overland Mail ) TELE REBELLION. As usual of late, we have little news about the rebellion, but it is not unimportant, and shsws a downward progress. The Peking Gaz e tte states that Lu-chau-fu, after being occupied for two years by the rebels, has been recovered by the Govern ment ; and iat the insurgents of Tsuug-yang, in have likewise • ben routed. Another account, however, states that they continue to wander about from place to place, infesting more particularly the neighbourhood of Wu-chang-fu, the capital of the province. In the great province of Szechuen a rising is reported, but it would seem to be local, and caused by a famine" from which no less than 21 districts are suffering. On the other hand, the rebels of Chin-kiang-fu are exposed to a worse visitation—a sort ofplague, of which it is said . upwards of 100,000 have already. died. The disease attacks the throat, which speedily becomes so painful as to prevent feud being taken. The teeth turn black and fall out, and death is sure and sudden. The commandant of Chin-kiang having sent to Nankin for reinforcements a strong body was ordered to move, but it was encountered ' 'methe Imperialists„ and after a minuarativelv re and bloody**le„gaye way and retreq,ted to Nankin. Should the communication between the two strongholds of the rebels be cut off, the re capture of Chin-kiaug by the Imperialists is pretty certain, and the evacuation of Nankin by the rebel's at no very distant period may be regarded as pro bable. With any other people these cities would have been recovered long ago, but the Chinese pre fer patient endurance to fiAting, and generally and it effectual in the long run. The remains of the roving bands who caused- so much alarm about Canton last year are reported to be in motion in the upper part of the prdvince," but they are probably not very formidable, as inter course had not been cut off, nor trad, injuriously affected. _ The rebels who have held Nankin and Ching kiang for nearly three years are the only persot worthy of the name, and they have never been as sociated with, or given, countenance to, the dis turbers of the public paac3 at Sbang'iai, Amoy, and-Cauton. Two SEAMEN AT PEKIN.—An involuntary visit has been recently mafleto Pekin by two seamen of the Ameri- can whaler Two Brothers. Dissatisfied with their condi tion on board they took one of the boati and landed on the coast of Corea, where they remained a month, kindly treated by the people. They were sent on horse back to the Great Wall, where they were delivered over to the Chinese authorities, by whom they were forwarded to Pekin. On arriving there they were visited by some of the Russian mi,sion, who supplied their wants ; and, after remaining three weeks at the capital, they were sent forward to Shanghai, where they arrived en the 21st of December. They seem to have ob•erved nothing at Pekin, and what they have to ti.ll of their adventures has relation entirely to their personal treatment and comfort. They state that in Corea and Manchuria (there must surely he some mistake about the latter country) they were well fed and attended to ; besides which their only observation was that they saw no women ; and in China, on the route from Pckin, they complain of having been ill fed, lodged in prisons, and cheated out of their allowances. They eheuld read Father Hue's travels, it they eau.—China Mail. CANTON MARKET.

There was no alteration in the price of gold—it remained at 3/. 14s. 9d. The new constitution was proclaimed on the 23d of November. On the same day the Legislative Council met for its last session, prior to its disseltition. His Excellency Sir Chas. Hotimin, in his speech on the occasion, expressed the hope that the new constitution w iuld be productive of the happiriess. and prosperity of the cJlopy. He . announced his intention of transmitting twQ tats-,--oneto regu. late the elections, the other to prevent bribery. He expressed his satisfaction at the state of the gold fields ; good order and quiet prevailed gene rally. After alluding to the best mode for de fending Hobson's-bay, approving the plan adopted, his Exceilency expressed the, hope that a measure would shortly be brought farward for the construc tion of railways in the colony. Alluding to the financial condition of the colony, his Excellency said that lie trusted he was justified in assuming that, with a few exceptions, the colony would be at the end of the year nearly, it not quite, free from debt. MELBOURNE GOLD CIRCULAR, Nov. 24, 1855. Exchange having again been lowered one per cent., it being► now at par, a reduction in the price of gold tel• lowed, and 755. became the price for the week. A large amount of busines was .done during this week fur the Jaimes Baines, which ship would have taken a much larger quantity but for the Sydney Allot competing with the home market. A good deal of this colonial business is of a speculative kind, based on the contingency of Our Legislative Council enacting a law to make the Sydney Mintage current in Victoria. This being a question of importance to the colony, affecting her greatest product, will give athple saope to the financial acumen of our newly-hedged legislators under the new constitution. The quantity of gold sent down by escort continues to kce? well up, showing that our gold-fields are assuming a gradually increasing aspect. Among the gold arriving by escort are several parcels of amalgamated, the result of quartz-crushing machines, which we are glad to say are improving in their productiveness.

We condense the following stunin.ary t.; Austra. lian intelligence from tho Melbourne Aye of the 2Tth. of November : State of Trade.—Since the departure of the Champion of the Seas business had become more animated, and the reports from Sydney being more satisfactory there was increasing confidence. The demand for the interior had greatly improved, and .was very. lively. Largo quantities of. goods were continually forwarded to the diggings, while.cart age cc ntinued very low—in fact, lower than had ever been since the gold discovery. Mercantile transactions had generally assumed a, more healthy aspect, and insolvencies were less numerous than they were. Exchanges.—Banks lowered the rate of exchange on England ou the 19th Nov. to par, and purchased at 2 per cent. discount. This reduction had an immediate effect on the price of gold, which is now quoted by the brokers at from 31. 15s. 3d. to 31. 14s. 9d. The Colonial Bank of Australasia will shortly commence operations with every prospect of success. Wool.—This staple had undergone considerable fluctuations in value. The sales by auction on the Bth nit, passed off with spirit, and parts of stocks of greasy wool, which had previously realised Bd. to 9d., did not realise more that 7d. to 7d. At the sale of the 15th prices rallied a little, and we may quote the average at from 74d. to Bd. The quantity of wool shipped from 0:400 to Nov. - 10 was 561,959 lbs. Labour.—The cry of "dolfrtutran • bad entirely ceased, and there wore few complaints of want of employment. Some judicious steps had been taken by the Government for notifying to new ar rivals and others seeking information the localities in which a demand existed for labour, and the cur rent rate of wages. __ The Gold-fields.—The reports received during the previous month from the various gold-fields were of a uniformly satisfactory character, both as regarded the yield of the precious metal and the generally prosperous condition of the population. Two nuggets, the one weighing 220 oz., the other 240 oz., had been found on the Alma, and a third, weighing 730 oz., had been brought to light at Daisy-hill. Discoveries of new quartz reefs were of frequent occurrence, and indications were not wanting of the presence of silver and copper in these conglomerates. Great activity was observ able in the works of the ironfounders in Melbourne, and the men employed by the principal firma had been working night and day, in order to keep pace with the demand for quartz-crushing machines.
