SE.RIOUS COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.- 7 -The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Captain Stone, from Boston, brought informa tion of the loss of two first-class Liverpool ships— the Trade Wind, of New York, from Mobile to Liverpool, and the Olympus, from Liverpool to Boston—with a loss of 24 lives. No further particulars were received ; but the arrival of the American ship Empire, from New York this morning, has placed us in possession of a more detailed account of the unfortunate disaster. Captain Zeraga, reports having, on the Ist inst., in lat. 42 N., long. 58 W. - fallen in with the foremast of the ,Trade Wind, with one man upon it, who had been in that position for six days, and all he had for nutriment during that period was a small piece of tobacco. Capt. Zeraga immediately lowered the boat, which being manned, put off to the wreck, when the man swam off to her. He reported that the unfortunate ships came in collision at 10.30 p.m. on the 24th June, and that both vessels had finally disappeared on the 25th, at 7 a.m. He states that the first and second mates, with about twenty hands and all the passengers of the Trade Wind, got into the long-boat. The captain and several of the crew of the Trade Wind were picked off pieces of the wreck during the same evening by a barque bound to the eastward. Two men took refuge on the foremast with the man saved, but they died before relief came, of exhaustion. The rescued man does not know how many parties were saved from the Olympus, but immediately after the collision the captain and crew jumped on bolrd the Trade Wind. In a short time afterwards the captain and four men endeavoured to return to their ship in the Trade Wind's jolly boat, but the Olympus sank before they reached her. These are all the particulars at present known, but in all -probability the arrival of the Atlantic from New York, due on Wednesday, will place full information in our hands. The Olympus sailed from this port on the 23d May for Boston, with a general cargo, 24 passen gers, and 20 seamen, under the command of Captain Wallace. . The Trade Wiwi, CEiptaiu .Smith, cleared from Mobile on the sth June with a number of passen gers and 4,07 bales of cotton 04 frog)* • - ----- - - 4... - - / . / 4 ' ' - • SI , RF , .. . , .. . 444,, ft , fr SA ' :! -: 4 : - 11 ' ' -„ e. - , . 4.... *. 5 . ‘,..k ..... .16 - 14 c..,i - ---- _A , - — 4. , . ._.,:,-...,,..‹- ~I,_ , .„ \. .... ,„ . :., 7 ,1,... 4. - -: 4 41 , -- u, .... ar ' ; ..?" - '•= 4. evz,,.t ,t . : ~,, •," f';.,t 4 ~, , . :,•... tee„, m ' o:*''' oS AA. p.fri,,,, ) ..,.:,,,. ,MA,.;,,,, ,.. ...Atk.

By the arrival of the Royal Mail steam-ship Mag dalena at Southampton we have dates from Syd ney to the 11th, and from Melbourne the sth, of May. This news is considerably later than that hitherto received, and is most important as being brought by the first steam-ship that has yet crossed the Pacific Ocean. The steamer Golden Age, Captain Porter, ar rived at Panama on the 19th, also from Australia, vid Tahiti, in 38 days. She brought 200 passengers, $200,000 in specie, and about $lOO,OOO in the hands of passengers. Among her passengers are Mr. J. C. La Trobe, late Lieutenant-Governor, from Mel bourne, and Mr. Hargreaves, the discoverer of Australian gold. The General Screw Company's steam-ship Croasus reached Sydney from: Southampton on the 19th of April. The following is from a letter just received : " SYDNEY, MAY 10. "To an American company will belong the credit of making the first attempt to open the direct communica tion between the Australian colonies and Europe by the. Pacific Ocean and Panama. The large and powerful steamer, the Golden Age, sails hence to-day for the Isthmus, and, if she catches either of the West Indian steamers, it is possible this packet will be one of the first letters delivered in Great Britain within 60 days of its date from the antipodes. The Golden Age takes above 100 passengers for Europe, a greater number than was expected on what can only be considered an experimental voyage. Among them is Mr. La Trobe, the late Gover nor of Victoria. "If, as we believe here, from the tenour of the last intelligence, England is-now engaged in the operations of a great war, with France as an ally, we must expect our distant politics to be thrown into the shade by events so much more exciting. Our gold mines, however, and their prospects must still comm a nd some degree of atten tion ; they are our permanent security from oblivion. "The most important public event, since the departure of the, last mail, is another strong and overwhelming demonstration on the part of the citizens of Sydney against the New Constitution Bill. It has been again condemned and rejected by the most numerous and influ ential comm unity i n the colony—the electors of the capital. When Mr. Wentworth sailed for England, at the end of March, he of course resigned his seat for the city ; as the Council was not sitting, his resignation was forward ed to the Governor-General, then on his northern tour. This caused some delay before the Speaker could issue a new writ • but the election for the vacancy wes finally fixed for the Ist of May. It was for some time doubt ful whether there would be any contest at all, but at last it became a very sharp one, not only between the Con servative interest, including the party of the Government and the Constitution Act, as it stands, and the Opposi tion, now in so small a minority in the Council, though every day growing in power out of doors—but between two candidates identified with the journals that are the organs of these parties--Mr. Charles Kemp, late pro prietor of the Sydney Herald, and Mr. Parkes, proprie tor and editor of the Sydney Empire. Mr. Kemp has just retired from business and been made a magistrate ; he stood on what may be called the old interests of the colony, official and social, the Herald being, by many years, the longest established paper in the country. In politics it professes neutrality, or independence of party, but it was a strong supporter o f Mr. Wentworth and the Constitution Act in every particular except the un lucky proposal of a peerage ; it has also been the con stant advocate of the Squatting interest, the only insti tution, if it may be called so, with respect to which a profession of Conservatism' is intelligible in this colony. In religious questions the Herald supports no particular sect, and from its standing it has a very large commercial connexion. It is necessary to describe its position, because it has been so mixed up with the recent contest. The Empire has only been established three or four years ; it has endeavoured in that time to stir up the somewhat sluggish disposition of the colonists, and rouse them to a sense of the necessity of improvement and pro gress, more self-exertion, and less dependence on the Go vernment for everything. It contends for a totally dif ferent distribution of the franchise ; that the capital, which contains one-third of the population of the province and the greater portion of its wealth and intelligence, may no longer be paralyzed in the Legislature by three or four districts containing scarcely a human habita tion, or as many nominees of the Crown, who cannot be said to represent anything. It is one of the chief objections to the constitution itself, that it leaves the anomalies of the electoral system only slightly modified ; the principle is unchanged. The Empire opposes the Squatting interest, because, by the land regulations it necessitates, it prevents the development of agriculture and a more equal distribution of the population, while it has virtually got possession of nearly all the political power of the colony. If these details seem too local in their bearing, it must be remembered that on them turned an election decisive of, the opinion of the colonists on an important measure now probably before the Im perial Parliament. Mr. Kemp was the first in the field, on a requisitio❑ signed by 400 electors ; it was not till a week before the election that Mr. Parkes was brought forward. The nomination was held on the Ist of May ; Mr. Kemp was proposed by Mr. Mort, the leading auctioneer, and sec.nded by Mr. Mackellar. Mr. Parkes by Mr. Campbell, a wealthy merchant ; seconded by Mr. Montefiore. The show of bands was in his favour, and on the poll, taken the following day, he was returned by a majority of 648 votes, the numbers being —for Mr. Parkes, 1,427 ; for Mr. Kemp, 779. At no former election have so many electors ever been polled by orie candidate, and Mr. Parkes received' about 100 more votes than any member yet returned to the Colo nial Legislature. The election was conducted in the most orderly manner, and, though the crowd at the nomination and the declaration of the poll was unusually numerous, there was no display of bad temper or ill feeling on either side. The result is the strongest pro test against the new constitution yet made ; on every, opportunity offered, in every way, by petition, by public meeting, and by their votes, the inhatitants of the metro polis, the only largo constituency in the country, have expressed their condemnation of the act framed by the Council, and the electoral system it includes. Some days before the Sydney election another strong opponent of the bill, Mr. Lang, had been returned for a county in the Northern District. ." Tile Lecislative Council was to have been opened yesterday ; but as the Governor-General has not yet returned from his cruise, though hourly expected, it merely met from its prorogation, and adjourned. "A return of the expenditure of the Government of New South Wales for 1854, as estimated and voted, is unusually framing the estimates, or that the Council proves-that the Executive has been either too frugal in generous in.voting more in almost every case than was required. For the whole service of the year the Go vernment asked 562,7311. ; the Council voted 590,1351., an excess of 27,4041. For the supplementary service of 1853 the Government asked 49,8471., and the Council voted 82,5031., being a surplus of 32,6561. The aggre gate amount estimated was 612,578/. ; the amount voted was 672,6381., an excess of 60,0601. The revenue returns for the quarter ending the 31st of ,March are favourable. On the total receipts of the Treasury the increase above the corresponding quarter of 1853 is 87 per cent. 'The amount of the increase from every source is 126,3251. The increase from • Customs duties is 26,7421., or 3i per cent. ; tea, sugar, and coffee are the only articles on which there has been a decrease. The importations of ardent spirits still furnish the largest portion of the revenue ; in the last quarter duty was paid on 255,610 gallons, giving- a gallon per head for the consumption of every man, woman, and child in the colony ; it exceeds the quantity imported in the cor responding quarter of last year by 62,982 gallons; to this must be added 41,184 gallons distilled in the go . bony, that qu an tit y h av i ng been taken out of bond during the quarter for consumption. The duties on in toxicating drinks have yielded an increase of 26,5651. on the quarter above the return of the first quarter of la - st year ; while the duties on tea and coffee show a decrease in the same period of 1,6331. The revenue from gold t t n quarter the e March, prese n t 1 year 85 3, t it s w licenses, r o y a lt y an d escort fees, shows a falling off of f l o o r , 5 t h 32 e l fi . rs ; a 0 5 n1 1 y 7 6 ,0 ,4 1 8 8 6 1. 1 ; i. In the territorial revenue there is, all the principal. on heads, a large increase. The land sales, including de posits for the purchase of land, amounted in the last quarter to 92,8001., an advance of 76,7801.; the Go vernment has recently sold some spots of ground in the city of Sydney which fetched very high prices. " The value of the exports from New South Wales during 1853 was 4,523,346/. ; far thegreater portion of this amount is, of course, to Great Britain and British colonies. The ex ports to the - United Kingdom are valued at 2,980,7631. ; to British colonies, 1,245,9471. The *United States figure for a very small amount, only 3,0281. On the total value for the year there is a decrease of more than 80,000/. " In the same period this province has imported Bri tish manufactures to the amount of 4,679,4351., and goods from all countries, Great Britain included, to the . value of 6,342,757 1 .; this is above 4,500,000/, more than the consumption of 1852—a rapid rise in one year. "The Chamber of Commerce has agreed to present a memorial to the Governor, representing the necessity of the Government, both here and at home, taking some measures for the greater security of Sydney, and the de fence of the trade of the colony against any possible at tack. It suggests that a volunteer force of 1,000 men should be armed; that the Naval force—a very inefficient one—now on the station should be retained, and increas ed by a screw line-of-battle ship and two steam-frigates from England. "An order of Council of the 29th December last hav ing finally declared that no more convicts are to be sent to Van Diemen's Land or Norfolk Island, the Anti- Transportation League of all the Colonies has been for mally dissolved by order of the executive committee. It has been inactive for a considerable period, the step now taken by the Home Government having been long ex pected. It was resolved, however , to keep the body to gether till transportation to-either of the settlid colonies of :Australia should have been officially declared at an end. The committee had intended to celebrate the dls solutien of the League by a grand ..banquet. at. Syd ney , but the idea was some time since abandoned. The great object had been fully plod, and 4 Vf" .1191Ight to mark its attainment by a demonstration that might have awakened ill-feeling in what is now the minority of the population. .The Swan River, or'Western Australia, is now the only part of the continent to which transpor tation is continued. "The Turon Golden Ridge Quartz-crushing Company held its adjourned half-yearly meeting on the 28th April, under new and peculiar difficulties. A dispute as to tenancy has occurred between the owner of the premises the company occupy as offices and the Sydney Build ing Society, which sublet them to the Turon Golden Ridge Quartz Company. The landlord has locked up the looms and locked out the company. Half-a-dozen actions and cross -actions have been commenced in the Supreme Court, and, till they are decided, the company is deprived of its books, share-list, accounts, and papers. Under these circumstances, the directors could only pre sent a supplementary report, which, in itself, was not very promising. The first opinion taken of the speci mens of the quartz from the ridge was unfavourable, and the directors, therefore, doubted the expediency of spending any more of the company's capital. But an other professional gentleman, by whom they were as sayed, having reported that they are likely to produce an average of 31 oz. to the ton of quartz, the directors asked the authority of the shareholders to purchase one of Berdan's crushing and amalgamating machines, by which it is believed the ridge may be worked at a profit. The shareholders present were disposed to accede to the proposal, but as no ballot could be taken without the share-list, and that could not be obtained, the meeting was adjourned tilt June, when it is hoped the actions at law will have been settled ; the odmpany itself has no thing- to do with them. • " The Roman Catholic Archbishop of New South Wales, in consequence of letters received by the over- I land mail, left by the Chusan on her return for Malta and Rome. It is supposed his Grace has been called to the centre of Catholic unity,' to answer or explain certain chargei made against him there respecting his administration of the affairs of his diocese; Alew days after his departure a public meeting of the Catholic in habitants of Sydney was held in the cathedral, at which some of these charges were described and disproved by the Archbishop's friends, Mr. Justice Th err y, w h o pre sided, a n d th e Attorney-General. Reports, it'appears, have reached high places at Rome, and received credence there, that Dr. Polding has shown a reluctance to re ceive Irish secular priests into the diocese and that the 'mission' is, consequently, in a state of spiritual destitu tion ; also, that he has supported institutions not con tributive to the true and best interests of religion. The worst part of the case is, that some person unknown has been base enough to break open the Archbishop 's desk and steal various letters and papers, of which garbled extracts and copies have, it isalleged, been forwarded to Rome. To this fact Mr. Justice Therry referred in a tone of strong indignation. He said the mere entertaining of charges, without disclosing thnna,mes of the witnesses supporting them,, was revolting to every man's sense of natural justice.' But he might have added, for the instruction of his audience, that it is a very usual Roman and Italian practice. The Attorney-General spoke quite as strongly, regretting that the informer and purloiner of papers was not known and placed in his hands for pro- Hia°tlhYeSr See e f was the a s e a c o u p t t i e o d n f b o y r t f b e l e o n m y Faithful to decline the acceptance of the -Archbishop's eet A ing, P these accusations, as it is s upposed it will be. e p ti r t a i y on ing to th t e he , Court have suspended "The judges of the Sup re me resignation . , should it be tendered,' in consequence of the license of Mr. James Husband, a solicitor, formerly practising in London and Devouport, in consequence of some circumstances th a t appeare d in evidence in an action, Husband v. Gil c h r i s t , ' rece ntly tried here. Mr. Gilchrist had arrested the plaintiff in England, bad fol lowed him to the colony, and sued him for debt ; the plaintiff brought a counter-action for false imprisonment in England, and got only a farthing damages. "At the half -yearly meeting of the Bank of New South Wales, the report stated the sum of 66,4971. 17s. was available for division, A dividend of 10 per cent. was declared, amounting to 40,0001., the sum of 20,0001. was added to the reserve fund, and 6,4971.175. was car ried •forward for the equalisation of future dividends. The notes in circulation amount to 577,479/. ; the de posits on ,the 31st of March were 2,064,204/. The re port adds that the business of the bank has steadily in creased ; it has established a branch at Kyneton, in the immediate neighbourhood of the Victoria gold fields, and a new agency at Sandhurst, the township of the Bendigo diggings, "The quantity of gold exported from Sydney to Great Britain during the first quarter of the present year was 82,6340 z. 10dwt., which, at an average of 31. 19s. per ounce, gives a value of 326,406/. ss. 6d. In the same period produce was exported to the value of 812,0631. The chief. exports of produce. to Great Britain were— wool, 6,121,6441 b., valued at 397,7551. ; oil, 202 casks, 11,3601. ; and tallow, 531 tons 19 cwt., valued at 16,4851. To Victoria the largest items in the list are bottled beer and drapery. "The Duke of Newcastle's despatch, containing, it is to be hoped, the final interpretation the Home Govern ment puts on the orders of 1847 on the occupation of the Crown lands, and giving the substance of the regq latiora to which the holders of leases a n d grazing licensee will in future hare to submit, has naturally excited con siderable discussion in the colony. All classes, except the squatters, ar e sa ti s fi e d w i t h t h em, and the disposi tion they indicate; even the interest most immediately affected by the terms laid down has received them with more resignation than it would have displayed a very few years ago. The change in the social condition of the colony since 1851 has convinced even the most ob stinate that the time has arrived when some modifica tion of the present system of managing the public lands must be made. In this province (New South Wales) the squatting interest has not attempted even to remon strate collectively against the arguments and conclusions of the Duke of Newcastle. In Victoria a meeting of the great leaseholders has been held, at Melbourne, at which it was resolved to endeavour to obtain a compro mise between what they assert are their rights and the terms of the Crown. • They admit that in the altered position of the country caused by the discovery of gold,' the right of pre-emption could not be exercised to the extent contemplated by the former orders, nor could probabl e i njury to other interests. They offer, the count ry b e kept locked up for so long a period with out therefore, to abandon the right of pre-emption, the more readily, p er h aps, that they perceive their right to pur chase must at last depend on whether the Government is or is not disposed to sell ; and the Government insists at t eh lease d as teh datee thewhen l leases att et r t h there promised aret lactuallyate it has on this point a full discretion, They protest against the interpretation given in the despatch of the words of the old orders in Council ; on which they con of Newcastle insists that when a license is changed into :111:utitwyo retrospectively, a m r e a d t e e o ut. and Thei commencen Dukeellruedme all the period of the actual oc • cupaton that has elapsed under the original license. On thispoint , too, the pub lic opinion of the colony is decidedl with the Colonial office.ferecl the T s h l i e g h l t e e a s s t e wrongg gives s enjoyed under the license, and the squatter has not suf tindwpasolincot policy, indeed, on the part of the Government , to convert what was understood by all parties to be holding for 14 years, into an actual occupation of a dating it 1854 instead of 1848. It would be making advantageeld b e t h b a l the squat ters a gift of seven years' occupant nd above the original compact. They may pro y te O st ve a r a•a a inst the inter pretation if they please —it is the most harmless form of opposition, but they will certainly have to accept it. On the disputed right of the Crowng to make reserves of land for various public the ss - they also offer to concede something, but it is on the condition of . receiv ing ''CoMpensation, a formidable - word, which will re uire to be carefully considered or half the paid q money lds by the public for freeholds Bred scarcely suffice to buy the squatters off their square miles of surface. In the words of the resolution of the Victoria meeting, they concede to the Governor the right of making reserves for other purposes than those contemplated in the 9th section of the orders in Council, upon compensation be ing granted for the actual loss sustained by the occu pant.' And, again, the equitable leases being taken to run from the let of January, 1852, it is also 'proposed that where one-fourth of a run is included in a reserve, it should be optional with the occupant to give up the entire license and claim compensation for the whole. ,The,.compensation proposed is the difference in value be tween stock sold with and without a run, for the num ber of sheep or cattle which the land included in such reserve would carry.' This will not be clearly under , stood; perhaps, but in substance it mean s , i f the whole run will carry (or feed) 20,000 sheep, and a fourth of it is reserved or resumed by the Government, the difference between the price of 5,000 Sheep sold with a transfer of the lease, and the price they would fetch without it, is to be the amount of compensation. With the lease they are of course more valuable than without it. If, as the chief advocate of the grazing lords, the Syd ney Herald, admits, the squatting interest has re ceived a blow that will make it reel,' the said interest takes the blow very quietly. If its leases are to date 1848, it leaves nearly seven years, of the term still un expired, and seven years of present prices - may well be a consolation. The runs in the more remote dis- 1 tricts are tolerably safe from the invasion of purcbasers, for a much longer period, and those more li a bl e to be broken in upon by reserves, venture to put in a claim to compensation. The Government having let the squat. tern large tracts of land at nominal rents, cannot regain possession without buying them out at their own terms. The danger of creating a vested interest' has never been more strikingly demonstrated than in Australia. The practice of grazing cattle on the uncultivated lands of the colony, at first actually illegal, and only winked at from necessity, was next permitted from year to year . by annual license ; then came the more formal occupa tion for a term of years ; now seven years in addition are demanded, and the Crown cannot recover th e l and it has leased at absurdly low rents, without combatting a claim to compensation for quitting possession that, in most cases, will quite equal the whole amount of rent ever received from it. The political power of the inte rest may be estima • ted by the fact that 11 members of the Victoria Legislature are among the squatters who have signed the resolutions of the meeting. Either con. vinced or intimidated by the influx of population, they now offer a kind, of compromise; but formerly they would have paralysed local Governraent rather tliansyiekl deingle point: They are strong still ; there is no in stance in history of ono class obtaining such a complete- grasp of a country and so complete a control over all its interests. The paltry terms that must be employed in describing or discussing the systehi of tenure in Aus tralia have in some degree averted attention from its magnitude and power. Under the almost ignominious name of 'Squatter,' by which is generally understood the miserable encroacher on the skirts of a common, or the sm a ll sett l er of Western A merica, it i s difficult to figure the holder of hundreds of square miles of territory, and a member of the numerically small body that keeps in its hands, for pasturage only, an area, containing 26,000 square miles more than the surface of Eng land, Wales, and Scotland, together. The present number of Squatters in the province of Victoria is stated to be 666 ; in 1849 the collective body, then pro bably rather less in number, held among them 73,360,000 acres ! Again, the lands in their occupation are, even in official despatches and orders, very impro• perly called waste, which means rejected and in ferior, and creates an impression that they are valueless; that impression the Squatters themselves have not dis couraged ; but it is notorious the stations include 'mil lions of acres as good as any land in the colony. When the cattle of a run are to be sold (the lease of the station going with the stock) the - land is described by the lessees as of the highest quality; rich alluvial tracts, fertile plains, green savannahs, and thousands of acres of the most luxuriant grass, are heard of in districts supposed to produce only a scorched and scanty herbage, of which it requires five acres for the existence of a sheep. The colony requires exploring in the pastoral region as- well as in the perfectly unknown interior, for the very nature of the soil in the intermediate' and unsettled' dis tricts, is still a subject of controversy. To the public, as it contains -the unwelcome purchasers, of freeholds; the organs of the Squatters describe the soil as arid and unblest, on which any attempt to settle would be lunacy; yet every station has its cultivation paddock,' often more than one, producing good crops ; and to most of the houses a-garden is attached, well stocked with /slit treei,' and frequently with vines.' The 'gardens of the Squatters in the hitherto unknown district of the Murray were; when discovered by Captain'Cadell's expedition up the river, described as sections of Paradise, teeming with an abundance of produce that the inhabitants of the two capitals, with all their wealth, only see in their dreams. It may be supposed that these gardens and paddocks are not only the spots among thousands of acres capable of cultivation, - yet in the official and legal language of the colony, all the surface is alike waste.' Even the Go vernment, which has its own surveyors and district land commissioners, appeared to have accepted the Squatters' axiom, that the land is useless for any purpose save pas turage ; and there is a kind of fear of a better opinion of the soil growing up at head-quarters. Colonel Mundy states in his work, Our Antipodes,' that, when ac companying Sir C. Fitzroy, in his tour in 1846, they crossed the rich lowlands' of King's-plains, after a heavy rain, and it was easy to see that the Squatters were alarmed lest the new governor should imbibe too high an idea of the natural wealth of the soil, and thus form too low an estimate of the risks and difficulties of their position, with reference to his future legislation.' "This, it is noted; was before they obtained the addi tional privileges as to tenure, &c., they enjoy under the present regulations, on which they have founded the still greater claims that have had to be checked by the Duke of Newcastle's late despatch. In short, it may be re marked, that the character and capability of the soil of the colony vary exactly according to the position of the Squatters in relation to it. When they are seeking licenses, leases, and privileges from the Government, the land is perfectly useless to any one else. When fairly in their hands, it is necessary to deter purchasers and prevent being inconvenienced by 'reserves ; ' the land is then worthless,' and will not pay for cultiva tion. When retiring from business and selling their lease, the soil is surprisingly good and productive, as above stated. If they could have changed their tenure to fee-simple, there cannot be the smallest doubt Aus tralia would have been held up as one of the finest agri cultural countries in the world. At present, 'its general character is the reverse ; but it is better than its repu tation, and in this respect neither from the Squatters nor from the Government has it had fair play. "The latest items of intelligence from the gold fields are not very important. The gross produce, as proved by the export returns, keeps up to the average, though particular localities rise and fall in popularity with re markable rapidity. Of many new diggings' opened since the beginning of the year none have yet developed themselves into rivals of the largest and oldest—Balla rat and Mount Alexander. One of the richest of the new spots has been the valley of the Buckland River, but it was so unhealthy that many persons abandoned it when 'doing a good stroke' in the diggers' phrase, glad to _escape with their lives. The mortality from dysen tery and a fatal kind of low fever has been frightful. The river flows through a deep ravine, in which, as the high mountain walls on each side excluded the wind,the air was stagnant and, from the scorching sun during the day, intensely hot. At night the temperature rapidly fell to a piercing cold, so that the inhabitants of this unhappy val ley were always either in an oven or an icehouse. As the holes were in the bed of the river, the miners generally worked to their waists in water. Constitutions that had borne the hardships of other fields without injury broke down here, and hundreds have perished, dying Anat tended• and unknown. The little levels between the streams anti the base of the mountain wall, fur ten miles along the valley, are so thickly studded with graves, that the river appears to run through a churchyard. It was known the field was unhealthy,' but those tempted to it by the reported heavy finds' could only estimate the excessively fatal nature of the place on settling in it. One new coiner having counted eleven corpses carried past his tent during the dinner-hour of his first working day thought even gold might be bought -too dearly, and left the Place instantly. Many abandoned it after a somewhat longer trial, but the greater number remained in defiance of disease, and 'took their chance,' with what result the numerous graves of the valley testify. In addition to the peculiar fever (of a typhoid character, the doctors say) the miners suffered severely from eye blight, and were at all times half devoured by myriads of flies. The general bad diet, and the want of vege tables, were among the causes of sickness that could not be removed. Garden produce of any kind commanded enormous prices —onions were 6s. a-pound, and cabbages were cut up and sold in portions, by weight; from half a-crown to 4s. per lb. were freely paid for them. Physic, or what passes for it, rose even" in-a greater ratio to its cost than food ; Holloway's pills' were vended at ls. each, or a guinea per box. Where there are no coroners or juries the degree in which medicine has contributed to mortality will never be ascertained, But it is well known that medical impostors abound and flourish on all the gold fields, and on the Buckland River, one particu larly fatal practitioner has been named, who, among other less prominent exploits, killed off a working party of nine, by mistaking their symptoms. By the last accounts the place is described as nearly worked out ; those who had the courage to stay, and the luck to survive, are said to have done very well. Forest Creek is recovering something of its old celebrity, the population having re turned from some of the late rushes' to spots that have proved disappointments. Ballarat and Bendigo are in full activity ; but heavy rains rendering the roads impas sable, carriage of stores is rising to the rate of last winter; on the first-named field horse stealing is practised to a most inconvenient extent ; drays, too, are so fre quently stolen, that the owners, as a means of security, commonly take off one wheel and hide it when they lay up for the night. At Kingo wer, a nugget of 220 ounces has been raised. Another of 182 ounces from Ballarat has been purchased by a Sydney dealer. On the Turon field no improvement is reported ; population does not seek it, and the returns aro comparatively small. On the Lower Turon, a sharing party is being formed to work the Baldhill Quartz Vein ; this plan of partnership appears to be extending. The local reports state that 'the party has the advantage of being disencumbered of a large retinue of salaried offiers, whose credulous employ ers felicitite themselves on *having' secured the services of those who disburse their money on a magnificent scale, leaving results to Providenee. , At Tambaroora, above 1,000 diggers are at work with varied success. Many could do well who neglect their work from drunkenness. This curse of the gold fields, and indeed of the colony generally, is- steadily increasing, and it is feared the wealth of the mines will leave fewer perma nent results behind it than the hopeful anticipated. The question causes much discussion, but the evil appears to be beyond the reach of legislation. "The quantity of gold brought down to Sydney by the escort from the Ist of January to March 31st was 53,920 ounces. The return shovis a large decrease compared with the same quarter of 1853. "By a recent experiment a greater difference has been found in the value of various samples of the gold at Victoria than is generally supposed to exist. Six samples tested at the Melbourne Assay-office varied from 31.135. sd. to 4/. 4s. 7d. per ounce, a difference of lls. 2d. Some of these samples, however, were small, not above 1 ounce in weight, while another weighed 35 ounces. The average value of the six samples 41n at 41. Is, per ounce—considerably above the standard price. "The Council of Victoria was prorogued aft i e t ra w b h u ic s h y session - on the 12th of April. In the adclressf h he dismissed the members from their labours, 11r L had a Tr o be formally announced that the Home Government w ac cepted his resignation, and that his succ e ssor, Sir C. Hotham, was on his way to the colony. Th e speech passes over the Constitution Bill with a mere allusion, but the other chief measures of the session management ereferred to at considerable length. The act for the of the gold fields is stated to have co s inunderPl e tely secured the its operation results it was intended to obtain, lm Bb of ill having gold there has been a large increase i licenses issued. The General by a majority of o ne E ii du t c h a e ti n o u n passed its last stage in the Council vote only, and having in every other excited a ve r y strong opposition, the it, Governor did not feel ju s tifi e d i n giving his assent to and the act has fallen to th e ground. On this question religious feeling appears as strong and implacable in this new country as in the old. " The Governor warm l y a pp roves s everal measures that have just been passed—among them an act l egalising . partnerships with limited liabilities, and an o th er to give *p iotection to the originators of new inventions in arts and manufactures ; but he administers to the Council a kind of rebuke for having introduced into the act directed against offenders illegally at large provisions that had already been disallowed by the Imperial Government as au infringement on the prerogati ve o f t h e Crown, The _ - / 7 Z /j-e-e,g '-717 i [PRICE SD. colonial executive had proposed a meisure in which this difficulty had been avoided, and the Pouncil had carried against it the amendment whichimadethe bill on this point as objectionabl e t o th e Crown lawyers as thelor • mer one. Mr. La Trobe has therefore referred it home most likely to meet the same fate. The financial condi. tion of the colony is treated very carefully in the ad dress, for it appears rather anomalous ; with an enor mous revenue the province is running somewhat reck lessly into debt, is increasing taxation raising its tariff, and even rep u di a ti ng some o f its implied engagements, on the simple plea that it has not the means of fulfilling them: No less than 1,300,0001. has been voted for pub lic works in the estimates of the present year, over and above the provision for the ordinary expenditure, though that alone is described as large and liberal.' faking the revenue at 3,000,0001, sterling, nea r ly h a lf th a t sum i proposed t o b e spent on undertakings, some of which are more mag n ifi cent than useful, and others that, how ever usefill; might be deferred. This seems to have been the opinion of Mr. La Trot • himself, for he takes care to state that the votes were inserted in the estimates ' mainly at • the instance and recommendation of the Council.' The Executive is now evidently desirous of fixing the responsibility of this more than regal extrava gance on the representatives of the people. But the real check came from that region - of reality, the money market. As soon as the Government found it would be necessary to borrow a round million, it discovered that many of the items of expenditure could be dispensed with, and they have been, in effect, cancelled accord. ingly. - The Governor says, 'it will be found inexpedient, if not impossible, to attempt the completion of the whole cff the undertakings projected, at the present time,' on account of the 'scarcity of labour' as well as there not being required.; thus the 'real' excess of the, expenditure over the total revenue for the year—an excess that is still to be provided for by 'extraordinary means,' i. e., a loan—' will fall very greatly short of the sum now con templatedL. As the necessity of the siaspetwled wostis and the price of labour could have been calculated long before the estimates were framed, voting hundreds of thousands for schemes now found impossible to execute was a great error. The general state of the colony is described in the address as highly prosperous ; the yield and export of gold continue steady, while the returns of the export of wool from - the port of Melbourne show:i considerable increase, instead of the decrease that was predicted as a consequence of the discovery of the pre cious metal. The other measures have only a local interest, "The decrease in the revenue of the province alluded to above is 102,000/, on the first quarter of 1854, as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1853. Of that sum, 99,0001. has been lost by the reduction of the gold license fees. This may be recovered on the year, as the territorial or land revenue shows a healthy ten dency to increase, proving that more capital is being iin vested in freeholds ; but the increase of revenue froth the import duties that continued throughout nearly the whole of 1853 has perhaps nearly reached its limit. In that year the revenue of Victoria was rising at the rate of nearly 2,000,0001. per annum. Judging by the quarter, just elapsed, the increase of 1854 will not ex ceed the rate of 272,000/. per annum, unless English and American speculation again pours in goods in un limited quantities, Mr. La Trobe thinks the present rate of imports excessive,' and 'caused to a great extent by an imperfect knowledge of the commercial arrange. ments of the colony' (commercial requirements is the term intended): Quicker communication between Eu rope and the colony will, his Excellency suppose; rec tify the miscalculations that havebeen made of its power of consumption. There is no danger of the revenue being permanently diminished so long as gold is raised, teolndpotehseihdleigigteeorsociodnosouemtienaute t t h o e in p o r r e e s a e e n e t t r o at t e he ; e h m ut o i u t n w t as of a million and a half a-year. This enormous rise in 1858 probably _dazzled th e C ounc i l, and produced the kind of intoxication in which it voted money more lavishly than the Government wished, and contemplated gigantic works with a contempt of expense almost worthy of a Louis XIV. The design fur the new Houses of Assem . - bly was put in during the competition, with an estimate of the cost ; it amounted only t 02,000,000/. sterling, for a community that does not number 300,000 souls ! This plan was certainly rejected ; but the mere proposal of anything so monstrous shows the spirit that was abroad. Other works, as they were urgently wanted, would have equally involved a waste of means. As the construction of magnificent houses of Parliament may ivell be post poned till the population becomes something greater than can be represented by a pretty compact parish vestry, so it would be a scandalous extravagance to sink indefinite thousands in building a viceregal palace, when the first half-dozen governors will probably be very well satisfied with an elegant mansion as a residence. For the next ten years, at least, the expenditure of the colony should be strictly limited to works of necessity, the construction of roads, bridges, and drains, and secur ing the city a good supply of water. The tendency to begin at the wrong end, and waste the public resources on what is showy ,and splendid, while the capital itself is neither drained nor lighted, and there are not 100 miles of sound road in the colony, ought to be checked by every influence that can be brought to bear against it. "As in private, the man of iiiiiiWaiit - babit - 3 - 61ten descends to what approaches the shabby Victoria' being with all its wealth a borrower, thinks itself forced to re pudiate some of its implied engagements. It is rumoured certain benevolent institutions have received notice that the usual allowance from the Treasury must be with held ; and it is quite certain that the Council annulled the labours of the committee appointed on the motion for granting a reward of 10,0001. to Mr. Hargreaves, as the discoverer of gold in the colony, by which discovery Victoria has profited the most. At the time the coin. mittee was appointed the Council did riot wish to be behind that of the sister province in justice or generosity. When the report, which was in favour of a grant of 5,0001., was brought up, and it was moved that it be received, count out' was managed, and the question shelved for the session at least. It had then been dis covered that the Government had already undertaken too much, and had no money to spare for such purposes. The question, however, is to be brought forward again next session. It is to be hoped the reported resolution as to the benevolent societies is unfounded, or will be reconsidered. The new taxes imposed have not been happily devised; with the large revenues of Victoria, they ought not to have been required. The Squatter members of the Council, who voted the expenditure freely enough, did not consent so easily to the increased rate on their cattle ; they cut down the amount proposed by the Government nearly one-half, and shortened the period over which it was to extend. The postage of letters is increased, and a oostage is also to be levied on the local newspapers. 'Neither of these sources of revenue will be very productive ; they are both retro grade in policy, and an unfavourable contrast to the practice of the other provinces. "Some important alterations were made in the Victoria, Constitution Bill after the report was, brought up. The qualification for a member of the Upper House, or Legislative Council, was reduc e d f rom 10,0001. to 5,000/. f ree hold, or 5001. a-year. They are now to be 30 in number, elected. by six constituencies, called electoral provinces ; they are to go out by rotation, 10 every two years The electors for the Upper House are to be freeholders of 1,0001. or 160/. a•year, and the graduates of any university, qualified surgeons, physi cians, lawyers, clergymen, and officers of the army and navy. The Legislative Assembly or Lower House is to consist of 60 members, with a qualification of 2,0001.; to be elected for five years, subject to dissolution by the governor. The electors are 501. freeholders, 10/. leaseliOlders, or persons receiving a salary of 1001 a year. The electoral districts are to be 37 in number. A civil list is reserved for the payment of salaries and pensions to actual and retiring officers of the Govern ment. Seven of the high officers of the executive are made liable to removal, and are provided with pensions in that event. An 'annual sum of 50,0001. is reserved for the encouragement of public worship. . " By the distribution of the representatives over the electoral districts, it is calculated - the predominance of is the squatting interest in the house will be shaken ; it stated it will not be able to command the return of more than 11 members out of the 60. From a little incident that occurred in one of the last discussions, however, .it is probable the character of some of. the proposed dis tricts was not clearly understood. hat 3 1. 1 t i le u isi dthan pointed out to the committee that i stood in the electoral ‘ u . rra boroughs were left as they schedule, the principal constituent would be an intel ligent aboriginal,' commonly known by the name of ' Bogalong Jack.' Beechworth was therefore added to the Murray boroughs, to furnish a few a ddi t i onal electors, 'and lessen the undue borough influence of Bogalong Jack, the intelligent aboriginal, who has been swa mped by a schedule as unceremoniously as if he had been merely a British peer. "The New Customs Bill for Victoria provides for the collection of duties on goods imported by land froth the province of New South Wales, at Albury, and also on the South Australian frontier. In course of time the Australian provinces will have to form a kind of Zollvorein, or commercial federation. Unfortunately, the richest provin ce , Vi ctoria, is, by mismanagement the most in want of money, having contrived, on au enormous revenue, to run in debt, and is setting the bad example of raising its tariff and imposing new taxes, some of them of doubtful advantage. Victoria and New South Wales now confront each other on the Murray, at Albury, i n th e persons of their Custom-house func tionaries,. like France and Ger Many on the bridge by Strasburg ; and in time, with the help of official zeal, the right of search will be as great a nuisance there as every where else. • " The reports' from the surveying party at Port Curtis state that the blacks have lately been very troublesome at the new settlement, and are daily be coming more aggressive. Three of the native police. sent out to make a marked tree line, have been attacked and severely wounded. "The General Screw Company's steamer Crcesus is laid up in Port Jackson, undergoing some repairs. She will be ready for sea in three weeks. "The South Australian journals announce that the Governor-General of New South Wales has consented to reserve from any pastoral lease all the land on the north bank of the river Murray, for a depth of two miles from the stream, from Albury to th e S o uth Austraan frontiers, a distance of about 500 mil e s. The north shore h of the Murray is, for that distance, within the territory L ~ G of New South Wales. The southern bank is in the province of Victoria, and, a similar reserve having been already made for that province, the land on both sides of f t , l .o ie rn ri A ve i r is thusilrytoGthornoilvvvan; otpheenpretsoentaghroiclduelrsturaofl pastoralsettlers licenses, however, are to be allowed free right of access to the river side. The land will be put up for sale as soon as the necessary surveys can be made. Till the Murray was opened to navigation by steam the district was exclusively occupied for cattle runs, under the usual licenses ; a tract of land four miles in width and 500 in -tenger-is now to be thrown into the market, and the facilities the river furnishes. for communication with the coast will soon render the allotments valuab!e. " The last fettings of the I.',urra-surra Copper Mine had-been more favourable than any Since the suspension of the works by the rush of labour to the gold fields. The public land sales fur the first quarter of 1854 show an increase of purchases to the amount of 24,0001. above the return for the corresponding quarter of 1853. still made or the scarcity o f labour ; ... tvmgr " Conling_oplaifutsagriculturallabourers and min ers would - ifis anied find ei upt .class,oy•n en i t t at s high said acgoeusld be employed at that; a thousand of th e last quarry of copper,' th e B u rra-Burra Mine, alone.

West Indian, :is. to Cul. 6dlu Geneva in Cases—Firm at 19s. 6d. Wines—Stocks in general are heavy. - - Draught Ale—ln great demand at M. per hogshead. Bottled Ale--Not much inquired for; Byase's held at lls per dozen. Oilmen's Stores Though some large sales have been recently effected, the demand continues good at a fair advance on invoice prices. Drapery—ln consequence of excessive importations, and the compulsion to sell, which in- some cases exists on account of advances made on the English side, many classes of goods are largely accumulating on the hands of vendors, and the market has an overdone pressure. Still descriptions in season are realising 30 per cent. on .invoice. Ironmongery —Importers are obtaining 30 per cent. on useful assortments. Saddlery—Advance about 30 per cent. Boots and Shoes—Heavy winter goods have been doing well. In some cases 50 per cent. on invoice has been obtained. Furniture—The market is full , and large quantities continue to arrive.

Whatever may be the motives which appear to have. aus peuded the direct action of the Austrian Government and the German Powers at the very moment when:it, was confidently supposed' that General Goronini's division was about to enter the Principalities, the first and most important consideration for ourselves and for the world is that the ,operatious of the Turkish army, backed by the forces and - the genei-ili of France •and England, are not in the slightest' degree de pendent on the intrigues of Berlin or the hesitations of is not to be envied in the discharge of the duties he"will hive to perform. But tlie Cabinet of Berlin still hopeci to Par the :ante of Russia in Germany, and it is zealously seconded hy several of the Petty Courts.' From what is passing before our eyes, it is not too much to assert that if the policy of Germany had depended on the s:coudary Sovereigns of that country, and if Austria Lad not advocated a more independent line :of conduct, the whole German nation would have been sold-to Russia in this contest. !Lis" felt throughout Germany that th• Emperor Frauds Joseph is the only Prince who has shown sense and spirit at this crisis, and that he has been thwarted 17 • every influenee which could be employed to warp his judg ment and to shake his courage.

Until Austria enters the Principalities not - only as the - declared ally of the Sultan, but as one of the declared antagonists of Russia, we have no desire to see her move at all. A neutral occupa tion would only be a general embarrassment, and must give rise to distrust and animosity ou both sides. In the mean time, the course of events has become. so rapid, and thus far so successful, that the decision of the Austrian Government is losing the important influence it seemed likely.to exercise a few weeks ago over the results of the campaign. In the pre. sent state of this campaign, with .Omer Pasha advancing on Bucharest and the allied armies on the Danube, it is a mere puerility to address another ultimatum to Russia demanding the evacuation of - the Principalities in a month, - for in less than that time the fate of the invading army ouelt to be decided ; and, although the weight of the forcer and influence of Au s t r i a i n th e war must still be 132_ siderable, every- day th a t s h e l oses i n g i v i ng eff e c t to Convention of the 14th of J une t rans f ers -t o th e . v Powers a large share of the p o W er s h e "Mi g ht tzereisel je:tort the the eastern provinces of Europe. .
