The plan is for Mr. Babbage and Mr. Bonney to set forth upon an exploring jonrn?y, ao ompenird by three practical miners, and supplied with ail the eq u i pment necessary for practically tes t ing the localities visited. T;le route to he taken is by way of Mount Torrens, Tanundah Creek, C'are, and so to the northwest to Mount Remarkable, and passing be yond the head of Spencer's; Gulf to Mount Arden and Mount Serie. From Mnunt Serle the party rropose to return home by way of Black Rock, fonowing a line to the eastward of the outward j oirm,y.

[Tho substance of the subjoined intelligence was published in The Situ of yestertiiiy.] LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. The Black Ball Royal mail ship Champion of the Seas, Captain John M‘Kirdy, arrived in the Mer sey to-day, at U a.m., from Melbourne, after a passage of 89 days, having left Port-Philip Heads on the 16th July. • Balance of exports over imports dining the current year £1,618,287 The balance in favour of the colony in a similar ac count for the first six months of 1855 was hut 410,861/. Our more specific reports of Melbourne markets will be found with our general commercial intelligence. The colonial demand for all kinds of unskilled labour teas increasing. The balance of arrivals over departures during the month of June bad been inconsiderable, and immigrants capable of performing rough work had readily met with engagements: Of skilled labour there wal little deficiency ; the demand for artisans was not likely to exhibit much activity far scrim time to come. Female servants were more plentiful th In tiny had been of late, but great complaints existed of the difficulty of meeting with really suitable domestics.. The Melbourne papers notice, among the social aspects of the gold fields, the increasing spread of the co-operative principle in mining pursuits, and, as a natural consequence, the more extensive employment of machinery by the diggers. This improved state of things is partly traceable to the enlightened spirit in which many of the local courts have framed the mining regulations for the districts under their jurisdiction, and partly to the sounder views enter tained by the diggers themselves of the cond tions under which the operations of industry can be most succe.sfully prosecuted. It is now evident that a greater amount of prosperity prevails uportithose gold fields where capital and labour have combined their forces than upon those pROTECTION AGAINST ADULTERA TION and FRAUD.—AII Family Supplies of best quality, full weight and imperial measure, procured, at a moderate commis sion upon the who esale prices, without speculative profits, with a saving of time and trouble, through a single House of Business in London, viz., THE UNIVERSAL PURVEYOR COMPANY (Limited), a Commercial Enterprise required by the Progress of Society.

The Champion of the Seas left her anchorage in Hobson's Bay onthe 10th July, but in consequence of a very heavy westerly gale she was unable to leave Port Philip Heads until the 16th July. She had a fair run to Cape Horn of 23 days, and saw no ice. From 50 S she experienced unusually fine weather. Since the 16th of August the Board of Trade barometer had only been under 30 in. for 36 hours, and then it ranged from 29.97 to 29.92 ; for the rest of the time, a period of 59 days : the barometer averaged about 30.20. Since crossing the line the winds have been very light indeed, and very little Gulf weed seen ; the winds were chiefly from the eastward.

THE RATE. Speed the Plough was first off, but after going a few strides he dropped back, and Malacca, with Mary in close company, went to the front ; and these two were soon many lengths ahead, December, Cotswold, Flatterer, Pole Star, Comedy, Poodle, Vengeance, Aleppo, Roger thorpe, Prince, of Orange, and Speed the Plough, form ing the next division. They ran thus at a tremendous pace to the ditch gap, and soon after passing this point Mary gradually disappeared from the front. No other perceptible change was made until descendingthe Bushes Hill, when Malacca gave way, and Pole Star shot to the front, with December second, Vengeance third, Roger. thorpe and Fulbeck the next in pursuit. Half way down the hill Vengeance passed December and went up to Pole Star, headed her as they breasted the hill to finish, passed her in the next few strides, and won by 3 lengths, Polestar beating December by four lengths for second place. Rogerthorpe was fourth, about two lengths be hind December ; Fulbeck was a bad fifth, and Yorkshire Grey was close up with him ; Malacca was seventh, and Mr. Sykes next. The next lot comprised Poodle, Cerva, Speed the Plough, Brother to Grey Tommy, Winkfield, Middleton, Prince of Orange, and Mary. Behind those a long way were Flatterer and Cotswold.

The particulars given above, however, will so ffi ciently show how the race was run ; and the fact of Ven geance, the first horse, having belonged to Palmer, and Polestar, the second horse, to Cook, has furnished u ossip, and people who are found of curious coincidences with an interesting subject of conversation. The winner was once called The Chicken, but was named Vengeance by his present owner " Mr. Edwards," who bought it at the sale of Palmer's blood stock. Pole Star was purchased by Mr. Snewing at the sale of Cook's horses. The weather was fine, and the attendance of company numerous. A special train, which was despatched from Newmarket under the superintendence of Mr. Watt, of the traffic department, about one hour after the last race, performed the return journey in a satisfactory manner.

A most capitally contested sculler's race came off yes terday between Edward May, of the Times Unity Club, and James Perry, of Messrs. Tyler's printing establish ment, over the usual course, from Putney Bridge to the Ship at Mortlake. Perry had been the favourite from the making of the match ; so confident were his friends of his success that they laid 6/. to 51., and on the morn ing of the race be was freely backed at 7 to 4 and 2 to 1. Henry Kelly was umpire for May, Mr. M'Carty for Perry, and Mr. Kilsby referee. At half-past two the men took their stations, and were followed by their gal leys, a very l arge number of boats being out to witness the race. Both looked very confident, especially May, although he bad sprained his wrist a few days before, from which he was still suffering. At twenty minutes to three thicy got off well together, and rowed so to the Star and Garter. Perry then drew ahead, and was a length in advance at the High Bridge. May now began to get better to his work, 830 n came up with his oPP(' - nent, and they rowed desperately, scull and scull, to the Crab Tree. May now put on a spurt, and between this and Hammersmith Bridge had gradually deal el himse f, and passed Chiswick Eyot a good length ahead. Front this point he 1 - ad it all his own way, Perry, however, rowing a capital stern wager, coming in 100 yards behind his fortunate cpponmt. The winner traine i at the Feathers, under toe care of Mr. Salter, and was "coached up" by Kelly in a most able manner.

The Moniteur of yesterday publisfres the follow ing deTatches from the Governor-Genera] of Al geria, who has taken the conny,and of the expedi tion against the Kabyles Bivouac of IJou-Assern, Beni-Bonghreolan, Monsieur le M Oct. 2, 1856. arechal—As I hare announced to yen, I quitted Dra e l Mi zan, to rejoin the column of General Renault, encamped near Bordj-Begbui. I visited, on the 7th ult , the troops of the division, es also those of the division Jusuf, enoatnped at the ex tremity of the country of the and I was much pleased with their military attitude. Several sections of the great tribe of Geechtoulas have made us overtures of submission; but the • Beni- Mendes, the Beni.Addou, and the Beni-Boughredan persevered in their hostility. To put down their w revolt, I oame thi s morning and established myself the division o f G eneral Renault, where I have fixed my head-quarters in the district of Boughrodan. The divisionof Jusuf ha s occup i e d t h e di s t r i c t o f Beni hliaovue b fi, ee te n c a o w nlm await the ereosrulttoofretnheew operations againstmegotiattons which the Guechtoulas if th e overtures of su b m i ss i on already wade should prove w ith out result. This morning, d ur i ng t h e movement o f t h e di v i s i on of General Renault, the Beni-Bough r ediens disposed them selves on our right flank, as if to dispute with us the ap proach to their villages, and the poser of the river. They were entrenched, to the number of from 500 to 600, behind thick hedges, and the loose stone enclosing walls of their gardens. After having reconnoitred their position, I instructed Colonel Fenelon tolielodge them, and to follow them up as far as the nature of the country permitted. A battalion of infantry, without knapsacks, supported the cavalry. at kdistanoe. Colonel Fenelon, with three - squadrons of Chasseurs d'Afrique, about 300 st , eng altogether, and a platoon of Spahis, brilliantly executed this duty. The Chasseurs, in their rapid charge breaking down the fences and the loose stone walls came like a thunderbolt cn the Kabyles, without giving them time even to take to flight. All who were on the left bank of the river were killed ; these on the right bank were pursued even to their villages. Col. Fenelon having re-formed his men, they rejoined the main body in admirable order, witheut being mo lested by the enemy, whom this charge of cavalry, in the midst of a mountainous district, has smitten with terror. This brilliant charge, most ably conducted, reflects the utmost honour on thQ Ist Regiment of African Chas seurs, and their Colonel. Our loss is only one man killed, four seriously wounded, received into the ambu lance, and four slightly, remaining in the ranks. Our men brought into camp, muskets, tronfolone, and other spoils taken from the enemy. On the morning of te• 29th ult. I directed four batta lions, without knapsacks, under orders of Gen. Deligny, to carry the villages situated in steep parts of the moun• tain, not accessible' to cavalry. Notwithstanding the difficulties of a mountain tract, covered with brushwood, walls, and rocks, the villages of the Beni-Boughredan, and the entrenchments which they made to debnd them, were promptly carried and destroyed, and the column returned to the camp without a single man having been wounded. The Beni-Bou-Abbou, the only section of the Gluech toulas which we had not attacked, believed themselves inaccessible in their villages, perched on steep rocks. They bad strengthened themselves by barriers of felled trees, and bad loopholed their houses. I learned also that reiEforcements had been sent to their assistance by the Beni-Raten. It was necessary immediately to chas tise this tribe. With this end, I formed, on the morning of the 30th, a column of five battalions of infantry, a section of artillery, a detachment of engineers, a squad ron of cavalry, and a section of the ambulance corps. General Renault had the chief command of this column. The first positions of the enemy were promptly carried, but there remained one of difficult access, and crowned by entrenched villages. General Renault directed an attacking column on the right of their position, while another column turned the enemy's left. The Zonaves arrived first at the village, under the protection of the fire of the artillery. The Kabyles awaited them behind their entrenchments, whence they were soon dislodged at the point of the bayonet, and fled to their ravines, under the fire of our riflemen. At the same time the column oftbe left was briskly engaged with the contingents sent by the Sedka and Beni.Raten tribes. But though these mountaineers made a vigorous resistance, all their efforts yielded to the intrepidity of our tr6ops, who chased them from position to position, and drove them beyond the heights after having caused them heavy losses. _ I profited by the offensive Movement of our troops to make a reconnaissance with the cavalry on that part of the plain which extends to the Mtuchenacha River. This advance, which extended to a distance of two musket shots from the mountain, and menaced 4.l44ekrear of the enemy, no doubt served ai a useful divetiCon. -4 't rejoined the column of Gen. Renault, and soon afterwards gale the order to retire. It was executed with regularity; not. withstanding the offensive movements of the enemy, whom it was twice necessary to repulse with the bayondt. We had throughout the day only one man killed and 21 wounded. Among the latter two officers, Captains Kcenigseggand St. Martin, of the 2d Regt. of Zouaves. Receive, &a., The Marshal Governor-General RANDON. BIVOUAC OF Bou ASSEM, Oct. 5. Monsieur le Marechal,-10) severe chastisement in flicted on the Beni-Bou-Addou on the 30th ult. did not immediately produce the effect which I had a riot to expect. I was informed that these mountaineers, pressed by the contingents of the Beni Eaten, Beni jheuni, Beni Iseghen, and others, who had entered their coun try, believed themselves secure and beyond reach on the summit of a steep and high hill which is directly con nected with the rocky escarpments of the crest of the Djurjura. Si ila4Amar had arrived in person, to stimulate the fanaticism of this tribe of Marabouts, swearing that be should be invincible in this mountain, which until then had been exempt from all invasion. I had learned fur ther that the powerful confederation of the Sedka, who inhabit the high contre-forts of the Djurjura, had hastened t , ) furnish contingents, so that the number of muskets defending the almost inaccessible heights had been raised to 1,600 or 1,800. _ _ It was a matter of importance to reduce this prestige, and to prove that no retreat, however high or however steep, could save an enemy from our arms. I therefore resolved to plant our eagles on the rocky crest near Djurjura, where the large village of Bern Djenni, a frac tion of the Beni-thu Adieu was situated. •General Jusuf, who had received the submission of the Beni-Mendes, established his bivouac on the 31 October on the Oued-Beu h retlan, beside the position occupied by General Renault's divisio n . . . On the 4th, at half-past 5 o'clock in the morning, Gen. Renault having r •,ived orders to attack the Bem-Bou- Addou, with whom he had already fought on the 30tb of September, set his column in motion ; Generals Deligny and de Linters commanded the two brigades. The Ka, byles bad only left a few sharpshooters on the nearest heights, defeated on the 30th September, but they were very strongly entrenched along a more distant rocky height by means of walls of piled stones or pieces of tim ber skilfully disposed, so as to cover ciith their fire a plateau of about 40 metres, from which alone the village of the Beni•Djenni could be approached. Tbree battalions were first sent forward to climb to this position, whence the enemy directed upon them a shower of balls. Our soldiers, protected by the aspe- rities of the rocky soil and by the trees, soon sur mounted all obstacles without very great lose. The ene my held his position to the last moment, well knowing that he could retreat into the woods behind. At half past eight our T hurt; and Zouaves were completely masters of the position on the right. At the same time two battalions advanced upon the left prolongation of the base of the Beni Dj enn i, arr i ve d there at great speed, and surprised its def en d ers , w h o were killed by the bayonet. Having thus gained posses sion of the two villages I gave my troops two hours' rest. AL eleven o'clock I ordered the commenceme n t o f a retreat, having resolved to fo l low its movements myself in this difficult country ; it was executed at all p o i n t s i n say.perfectN omusttw o i trhd haveset order, cd a bi n ne d ge n t t h h e eo e n e t.i n ii dffi e e my, wh ose l oss, our Arabs er ua lbtiy of the p os iti ons carriede , did not mole s t us . and the vigorous resistance of the enemy, this day's warfare, which I hope will be p ro d uct i ve of large re sults, cost us only 5 men killed and 39 wounded. of the Bou-Assam to carTryo-mouotrrmoyw I operations my ca ont m he p left b an k o f t h e O ued - Aissi.

I have this moment received the l e tt er o f th e c3lonel commanding the subdivision of Aumale, who re ports a bold coup de ma i n, most successful as to its results, which he bas executed against the Cheurfas. As I had previously informed you the germs of a n insur rection had appeared in some tribes of the valley of Oued Sahel. Col. Dargent, having ascertained that the village of Cheurfas was made the meeting place of the partisans of tic insurrection, and that the cont i ngents b elonging to the Zouaouas, the Beni-Mansour, am! others, had fixed their rendezvous there, resolved to attack and destroy it. With this object and after ascertaining that the con tingents assembled ther.r only in the day-time, Col. Dor gent executed a skilful night march, and arr i ve d a t th e village at day-break, immediately attar' ed it with his small column, composed of a battalion of Ttralleurs, two pieces of artillery, twa squadrons of Hussars, one de tachment of Spahis, and one Gou rn . T he en:pr i sed Ka byles fled in disorder , leaving 20 dead and 1D prisoners in our hands. This happy covi4 de main, will have the effect of checking the insurrection, and will greatly con tribute to re-establish tranquillity throughout the sub division cf Aurnale.

VICTORIA. The official returns for the first half of the year 1856 show that during that period 1,588,051 ounces have been shipped from Victoria, which, at the customary compu- tation of 2,000 lbs. troy to the ton, make the pr xluce of the gold fields of that colony amount to the enormous quantity of 66 tons 3 cwt. 1 qr. 12Ibs. 7 cz.; more by above 16 tons than has been shipped during the first half of any previous year. The Argus has "not any doubt that the shipments for the second half of the year will equal if not exceed the first." The prospects of the various "workings" are most promising, and the pursuit of gold digging was never more etsadily and systemati cally prosecuted. The continuance of wet weather der ing the last two months reported on had, however, to a great extent interfered with the operations of the miners on the wet as well as on many of the dry sinkings, and had compelled them to devote their energies to the quartz reefs. - We subjoin a statement of the gold received by escort for 13 weeks in 1858 from Mount Alexander and Ben digo, Ballarat, Ovens, Maryborough, M'lvor, Daisy Hill and Avoca, with the total of the corresponding weeks of 1855 : Oas. oa4.

"As an instance of the effect of the former (says the Argus) we may mention that fire subordinate gold fields—Am beret, Avoca, Fiery Creek, Mount Franklyn, and Mary borough—did not contribute their quota to the last escort in consequence of the impassable state of the Loddon River; and to show the influence of the latter, we may add that the quantities in the gold offices are increasing, while the amounts in private hands are known to be larger than ever. The settled feeling of security which prevails on the gold fields renders the returns of the local gold offices a less reliable index of the yield than they have been during seasons - of greater uncertainty and less produce. One extraordinary fact in connection with the quartz reefs deserves men tion. Notwithstanding the present high rates of carriage, there is an increase rather than other wise in the quantity of machinery in process of transit. Men of capital are finding the means for carrying on very extensive operations on the quartz reefs on share' arrangements with the working miner, and this system of assoc:ated enterprise appears to have hitherto worked well for all parties."

Jamestown Bombay-, 1,865 From official returns it appears that during the first five months of the present year only 4,941 souls were added to the population of Victoria by the balance of im migration over emigration, or an average of 988 per month. In the year 1855 the monthly average was 3,243; in 1854, 4,035 ; and in 1853, 4,156. Many vessels, how ever, convey Chinese immigrants to posts in the adjacent colonies, from'which their living cargoes make their way to the gold fields of Victoria overland, and are not in cluded in any returns. The shipping lists of Adelaide and Sydney—those of the former especially—abound in notices of the arrival of shiploads of Chinese from Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore. A steady stream of population has made its way towards Victoria from the neighbouring colonies, with the exception of New Zen land, the departures to which portion of the Australian group have been steadily in excess of the arrivals thence. The general statement of the revenue for the year and quarter ended the 30th June exhibits very satisfactory evi dence of the healthy state of the finances of the colony. There is a net increase on the quarter of 192,0711, and a net increase on the year of 152,2031. The principal items of increase on the quarter are Customs, 131,875/. ; assessment on stock, 51,8511. ; land revenue, 36,955/. ; and of decrease—licenses, 10,7671. ; fines, for feitures, and fees, 6,5691. The revenue from the gold fields balances for the two periods. On the year the cus toms have yielded a net revenue of 613,976/. ; while from the gold fields revenue there has been a net decrease of 207,6971. ; from port and harbour dues, 29,759/. ; assessment on stock, 73,3191. ; and from the territorial revenue above 400,000/. The increase on the customs is very marked, and is an undoubted indication of gene ral prosperity. • The chief items of decrease are in the gold fields and territorial revenues, with the causes for both of which the public is well acquainted. In the ex penditure for the quarter we find, on comparing the various items with those of the estimates for the year, that the sums expended are very generally within or tolerably near the due proportion of the sum estimated to be required. At nu season of the year is trade duller in Australia than in July. The roads become more nearly impassable with each succeeding day, and traffic with the interior is in a great measure suspended. The Argus of July 9 re prts :—" During the present season the rains have been unusually heavy, and the rates of cartage are higher in proportion than last year. Transactions hare been in consequence limited to the supply of the city trade pro per, and of immediate wants frosa the interior. Much discussion and some excitement has been caused in Mel• bourne by the success which has attended the first year of the navigation of the Murray river for trading pur poses. Barge-loads of flour and other staple articles of cansumwion have been transmitted from Adelaide and delivered at Bendigo and Ovens diggiegs at lower prices than in present circumstances they-could he procured from Melbourne. This fact is taken rather as a symptom of the general development of the Australian continent than as a cause for fear or jealousy by the iusjority of Melbourne merchants. With Pood roads--with rail roads especially—the capital of Victoria will be able t,, compete with all rivals for the trade with the gold fields and the southern interior generally, but until good roads or railways are formed supplies for a few months at this season will be towed up the stream of the Murray. The threatened competition has already effected something.. The views of the Chamber of Commerce have become more decided and more practical on railways, and it is J now likely that Melbourne capitalists generally will cor. The new houses of parliament at Melbourne were ra pidly approaching to completion. The government have invited designs for frescoes and statuary to decorate the building. The foundations had also been laid of a commo dious county court. Considerable progress has been also made in the erection of the new Exchange, which pro mises to become one of the architectural ornaments of the city. There is some promise of the railway from Melbourne to Geelong being completed by the end of the year. Six miles of the line (at the Geelong end) were opened for ex cursion trains on the Ist July, and theexperitnente which were made with a view to test the speed of the locomo tives were perfectly satisfactory. The Argus regrets to be unable to report that any apparent progress has been maie in the prosecution of the works connected with the Melbourne, Mount Alexander, and Murray River Rail. way. The intelligence that peace has been restored, received by the James Baines, diffused general satisfaction so far as the event itself was concerned. As soon as the news was promulgated a salute of 101 guns was fired, by order orthe Acting Governor ; and at the Theatre Royal, on the same evening, before the rising of the curtain, a call of " God save the Queen" arose simultaneously from the large audience assembled to witness the performance of the opera. The call was promptly complied with by the orchestra, and the audience, rising, greeted the familiar melody with the heartiest applause. " Partant pour In fiyrib" was then demanded, and some lusty cheers were given for our gallant allies. By a proclamation from the Acting Governor, Wednesday, 2d July (the day follow ing the anniversary of our separation from New South Wales), was observed as a general holiday ; and a re view of the troops in garrison and a sham fight took place, under the inspection of his Ercceileney. The SOth anniversary of the DeclaraCon of Independ ence by the United States of America was celebrated by a public dinner at the Criterion on the 4th inst. About 130 persons a=sembled, under the presidency of the Ame rican Consul, and the general tone of the speeches was strongly in favour of ttae maintenanotroi pacific relations between Great Britain and the republic. NEW SOUTH WALES. We have received files of the Sydney papers to ,he sth July. The folloi"ving very important announcement ap peared in the Sydney Empire of the sth July as an extract from the Bathurst Free Press : A great deal of excitement has prevailed in our town during the last few days, owing to the rumours which were disseminated far and wide of the large quantities of gold said to have been dug up on Stoney Creek, and trans mitted per mail to Bathurst. Some of the stories afloat were altogether so incredible that it was only necessary to hear to disbelieve them. Others wore more of as air of probability, and wh en t race d to their fountain head were found to be nearly true. Upon reference, however, to trustworthy and available soul ees of information, we . find that a great deal of exaggeration has been bandied about, arid that the truth has been somewhat highly coloured. It is a great mistake to call the Stoney Creek diggings a new gold field. They have been worked for many months with greater or less success, but the doings there, for reasons best knowntsib to the d A ig t g l e e r n s gt a h t a work, have been kept as secret as po dividual, known by the sobriquet Bothered Harry, hit upon a 28-ounce nugget in a small tributary of Stoney Creek, known as the Stockyard Creek. The news spread upon the wings of the wind; a rush was the consequence, and a large tract of the adjacent country was laid out in claims. From one man, of whose veracity we have no ' doubt, and who has spent four months upon these dig gings, we learn the following particulars. After a steady omrse of sobriety and industry during the time men tioned, our informant, who was generally believed to have been uncommonly fortunate, had saved ten ounces of gold, which he brought with him to Bathurst,. Being upon the spot at the time of the rush, he was the third upon the ground, and got the selection of the third claim, but although witbin a " stone's throw " of his bothered friend, his claim proved an unprofitable one. Besides the 28 . -ounce nugget already mentioned, a n.an from Orange had pounced upon one of 44 ounces, and a Chinaman another of 13 ounces. Bothered Harry'i claim was worked out when he left (last Tuesday), and several of the most profitable ones had ceased to yield gold. A majority of the diggers were doing well ; some few were exceedingly lucky, and, as usual in alt these rushes, a considerable number of the unfortunate were wandering about from place to place. The gold is coarse and nuggetty, and runs in patches, thus rendering the digger's earnings a matter of some uncertainty. Two loads of earth taken out of a neighbouring claim produced 16 ounces of gold, and a report was current that one tub of earth produced 16 ounces, but upon inquiry the quantity diminished to 8 ounces, so far as his observation went. At the time our informant left the number of his licence was 105, and after taking it out an increase of some 200 arrivals had taken place. The Mookerwa, which is about three miles distant, was completely deserted, and diggers were arriving from Tambaroora and the sur rounding country in considerable numbers. There was a large quantity of gold upon the ground wanting pur chasers, but money was scarce. The diggings were well supplied with provisions. Beef 'was 3d. per lb ; flour, 21. per 100 lbs. ; tea, 2s. 61. per lb. ; sugar, 7d ; and other necessaries proportionably cheap. The diggings are distant about 30 miles from Orange, 16 from Pif olong, and eight from the Macquarie. • From Mr. Joseph Aarone, who arrived in Bathurst at the latter end of last week, with 37 ounces of the Stoney Creek gold, we have learnt the following parti culars :—Mr. Asrons visited the diggings on Sunday, the 15th ult., when he estimated the population at a b out 600. From the result of inquiries made upon the sp o t, all were doing well, and some were exceedingly fortu nate. He heard of one tub of earth producing 14 ounces of gold, and there was a good deal of talk a b out a nugge t weighing 54 ounces, but he did not see it. There were large quantities of gold wanting purchasers, and if disposed to purchase he oouid h ave b ought 3,0001. w orth on the spot. there was no postal communication at the time he was there, but st e p s h ad been taken to wards its estab Digger s were pouring in from al l s ki ff , promising speedily to form a very large popu lation. Business in the neighbouring townships had in con sequence become brisk, and nothing wa s t a lk e d o f but the diggings. Prod Sergeant Cassidy ' of Tamba roora, we learn seat th e di ggers are as fast deserting that side of the ( oantry for Stoney Creek. Toe Sydney Empire publi s h es statistics of the traffic on the . Sydney a n d P arainatta Railway during the quarter just terminated. In publishing these figures (remarks the edit-r), it is right to premise that the pre sent line is intended to be the main channel of internal communication, and that it can only sustain a prospe droisTriter,.asfil. c p b e y nd m ing eans of tributaries from the prosuc.ng such extension, no very large in crease can be l oo k e d f or upon the average traff i c o f t h e . .e mouths during which the line has been open. The total reesipts fur the three months ending June 30 were 7,5871. iGs. 7rl. ; those for the quarter ending Marcie 01 were 7,0241 15s. 6d. ; there has therefore been an in crease of 563/ ls. H.

A similar increase is shown by comparing the numoer of passengers during the two quarters ; in the previous quarter there were 90,930, in that just ended there were 98,817. From the causes above referred to the amount of goods traffic is still irconsiderahle ; it ha., however, during the last quarter, increased more than This being the middle of the Australian winter, or , rainy season, the roads are all but impaesab e, traffic and of tr lo a c d a e l i w n a M nt e s l- ; w bo i u th rn t e he is in c t i e i r k i ;y is c n on ea fi r n l y there is, consequently, ver y little c h ang e since the d a t e cl suspended,t o t e supply of our last circular (per Sardinian), June 23J. This season the rains have been unusually heavy, and the roads have been worse than last year. The consequence has been that cartage, as compared with the rates pre valent at the same period last year, has advanced about 20 per cent. This, of course, has further restricted operations, and we regret to report that the market for a month past has been unprecedentedly dull. At the same time, however, it is an undoubted fact that stocks on the diggings are low, and the storekeepers are forced to send orders to complete assortments. During the last fortnight some slight impetus has thus been given to business ; and it is fully expected that in about six weeks a strong trade will commence. Some alarm has been felt on account of competition from Adelaide by way of the Murray River. This "competition, however, bas operated to a very limited extent ;it z.-.an only last during the winter months, and so long as the roads are in bad order. With good roads Melbourne will for a long time com mand the trade of the god fields ; and railways, it is to be hoped, will, in a few years, connect this city with the Murray, and the vast southern interior of the continent. The past week having been broken upon, as far as business was concerned, by the holidays appointed to celebrate the anniversary of the separation of Victoria from New South Wales, and to commemorate the peace, very few transactions of any magnitude occurred. Liquors.—Brandy has advanced a shade, and is firm. Nicholson's gin, in bulk; is somewhat scarce, and the price is maintained. Lowndes's old Tom is still unsale able. Whisky is declining. The stocks of Geneva are low, and prices firm. Wines continue without change. Bottled beer ofinferior brands is far from lively. Ales have the preference of sale ; a sale of Allsopp's bottled by Friend, at 133., is reported. A parcel of ByasS's, two-thirds porter and one-third ale, has changed hands at 12s. A sale of Harper's porter has been effected at 12s. A large quantity of bulk porter has been bottled hero for the diggings' trade, which affects the imported article. Tobacco.---Stocks being large this ar::icie is dull of sale, and held fur our quotations. Considerable arrivals are reported. Any quantity forced on the market would not realise the prices quoted. Good Havannah cigars have come in more freely ; the best brands are saleable. Groceries, &.—Coarse Liverpool salt has been offered 'at 41. I.os. on the wha r f. Th e p r i ces of sugar were alto gether nominal. There are no transactions in oilmen'a stores. Candles are slightly on the decline. Flour continues nominal. Provisions.—Cheese of good quality maintained its price. A sale has been made of a parcel of prime Cork butter at 1.8. 4J., but as a large proportion of the stock of Cork butter now on hand is not of first quality, our quotation of ls. 4d. is above the value of the bulk of that on band. A sale of Irish mess pork is reported at .5/. 10s. per barrel. Lower prices generally are expected to rule in the market. in many articles colonial produce now competes with imported. Stocks generally are full. Metals generally remain as last quoted. Tinab-r.—As noticed in our last, American lumber is on the ris-, And we now report sales at 171. taken from the wharf, and consider prices firm and still advancing. Ttiere is still speculation in lumber. Soft Goods are, like most other articles of import, very dull f sale, though our quotations are maintained, sales having been made at these rates. MELBOURNE WOOL MARKET, &O. The supply still continues to be on a limited soak, and not adequate to the present demand. Prices, which are firm, still rule at our last, viz. : For scoured wool For handwashed :end slope ditto The quantity shipped has been as follows : From Oct. 10, 1855, to June Value. 14, 1856, 11,054,692 lb. £714,526 From June 14 to 28, ... 78,440 4,395 Total, ... ... 11,133,132 lb. £718,921 Tallow.—This article has experienced a further de cline, and prices now, according to our last English ad vices, show a margin for the shipper.
