The Company is formed with the object of enabling capitalists to avail themselv . s of the ell Ible et por ttavt es Wail are offered for invest ment in the colony of Q teensland and Australia geoer,,lly. The invt,stment affordin; the larg est and most certain return for cat ital is sheen farming, which has proved the great mainstay of the Australian colo . nies. The progress of the occupation of s heap farming. and the rate at which the flocks h-ve intreasee t and spread through out these colonies, are remarkable. I n 1810, when ciermany arid Stain were the ony countries I )roducing merino wool, Australia exported its first bale of 11 olbs , but in 1860 it sent to the motter country net less than 60,000,0001bs„ of which the Germans were large parchases.

The mildnt tas of its climate and the lint ne , s of its pastures have cemtributed to this result, while the wool produc_d there realises I .he highest price in the London mark t. A provisional offer has been made to the directors for the purchase of the leases of certain stations on the Darling °owns, now in full operation, com prising an area of upwards of 1,500 square miles, with the she ep ana cattle thereon : the vendors taking payment for a considerable portion o 1 tha purchase in the shares of the lot npany.

The object of this Company is to purchase and work an ex tensive gold mining property, called Rossa (Roca) Grande. in the province of Minas Geraes, Brazil. It is estimated as containing about 21 square miles, in the vicinity o. the celebrated mine of the St. John Pel Hey Company. The purchase money is to be £15,000 in cash, and an equal amount in shares. Captain Thomas Treloar, in his elaborate report, says— " The rock is chi fly clay and talcose slate, of that character which is highly co ngeniat to auriferous formations, and when I add that the lodes are not very far distant from the junction of the slate and granite, every experienced miner will understand its significance. Gold mines in Brazil, as well as copper and tin mines in England, are valueless when far from the mysterious effect of the junction of these great rocks. " The estate contains three distinct auriferous formations, which may be traoed tor miles, e hbsides a rich jacotinga unexplored. Diamonds are said to ave been found at one spot. • The first rock formation is of white quartz and iron, and from half to five ounces of gold per ton ; the has yielded second is of yellow q uartz and auriferous arsen i ca l pyrites, and has afforded upwards of six ounces of gold per ton. " The third is of quartz and brown oxide of iron, and about 36 feet wide. In depth • it will probabl graduate into a pyritio-rock formation similar to that o f the St. John Del hey Company's mine at Morro Velho. The whole mass of this lode is auriferous, and portions of it have yielded 50 oitavas of gold per ton. It only requires capital. economy. and practical experience to make those lodes as remtmerative as the Rock Mine of the St. John Del Rey Company, which has already paid £673,710 in dividends, and one share in which, with Ll 5 paid, is now worth £52." Full reliance is to be placed upon Capt. Treloar's report, from the fact that he has ha I 16 years' experience in Brazil. in the service of he St. John Del Rey Company, and is chief engineer to the Don Pedi o North Del Rey Gold Mining Com pany. which, under his management, has paid a dividend at the rate of 10 percent. on its first nine months' working. Capt. Dailey, who has long known Rossa Grande. confirms the above report,. The late Mr. George Vincent Duval. Brazilian Mining Commissioner, also, in a work written by him, favourably mentions Rasa Grande, classing it with Morro Velho (Sr. John Del Rey), and says—" Those mines might be aptly termed gold quarries." Prospectuses and copies of the reports, with a map, and forms of applications for shares, may be obtained of the broker, of the solidtors, or at the offices of the Company.

IMILWAY INTELLIGENCE. WEST CORK. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at their offices, Gracechuroh-street, Sir C. P. Roney in the chair. Mr. 11. W.VooD, tho secretary, read the report, which stated that great progress had been made with the constrac tion of the line. Since the accession of the present Board to office in May last (when the first sod was turned) the entire land required for the railway, 33 miles in length, had been valued by the Government arbitrator, and his final award given thereon. The company had already obtained possession of lands extending for a length of between 17 and 18 miles, which had been paid for, and the remaining lands could be speedily obtained, as required by the con tractors. Thirteen miles of the railway had been already made, the greater portion of which was ballasted and ready to receive the permanent way, and the contractors assured the Board that their strenuous exertions should be de voted towards a still more vigorous prosecution of the works, with a view to the opening of the line from Bandon to :Dunmanway, a distance of nearly 18 miles, at the earliest possible period. Since the last half-yearly meeting telegraphie communication had been established between Cork, Skibbereen, Cape Clear, and Crookhaven, by means of which American intelligence had been received from six to ten hours earlier than by the previously existing means, thus proving the advantages geographically possessed by the extreme south-western harbours of the county of Cork for facilitating transatlantic intercourse and communioation. The rails required for the entire length of the railway had been delivered. Nearly all the sleepers ready for the open ing to Dunmanway were on the ground, and the permanent way fastenings would, shortly be delivered, when the rails and sleepers would be laid down and the line made ready for receiving the engines and carriages. The large amount of employment already afforded by the construction of the works bad been productive of much timely relief and sup port to the labouring classes throughout the districts tra versed. The company having now reached its borrowing powers, the necessary legal steps had been completed for authorising the issue of thedebentures. Under the powers of the company's special act a baronial land guarantee of 4} per cent. interest per annum for a period of 20 years was at tached to those debentures from the opening of the line. When the works between Bandon and Dunmanway ap proached nearer to completion the board expected to receive from the Cork and Bandon Railway Company an instalment of the £20,000 which that company were bound to subscribe to this undertaking, as the completion of the line would confer most important benefits on the Cork and Bandon Railway. The directors repeated their conviction expressed in the last report on the bona fide merits of the undertaking, believing that it would not only confer great and lasting ad vantages on the extensive population and districts traversed, but as an Investment would prove both profitable and grati fying in its results. The capital account to the 31st Dec. showed that £162,042 had been received and £151,872 ex pended, leaving a balance of £7O. The CILAIIIMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said he had no doubt from the great progress already made by the contractors that the same energy they had always exhibited would be continued, and that the first portion of the line from Bandon to Dunmanway—nearly 18 miles in length—would be opened for traffic in the ensuing summer. The land did not come into the possession of the company until everything was paid to the landlords and tenants. The l a ying down of the permanent way on the portion completed to formation level would give the directors greater facilities in proceeding with other parts of the line. The Magnetic Company had succeeded in establishing telegraphic commu nication with Crookhaven, and, by means of a steamer, were enabled to obtain and transmit American intelligence to England six, eight, or ten hours earlier than by the former mo de. It was also proposed to make a branch railway to Crookhaven from their line, which proposition should have the earliest and best attenlicn of the board. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, re-electing Sir C. P. Roney and Mr. J. Holland, the retiring director', and also Mr. J. Burton, the retiring auditor. Mr. KIM:, one of the contractors, stated that his firm would do everything in their power in carrying onthe the wor ks to deserve the confidence placed in them by re ctors, The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks t o th e di chairman. SEVENOAKS, MAIDSTONE, AND TUNBRIDGE. The half-yearly meeting of this company was hold yester day at the Victoria Station, Pimlico—Earl Amherst was in the chair. The secretary (Mr. W. E. Johnson) read the re port, which stated that the traffio for the past half-year had been most Satisfactory, showing an increase of £1,193 over the corresponding half of 1862, or at the rate of 43 per cent. The balance applicable to the payment of debenture int erect, which for the same half of 1862 was £6BB, was for the past half-year £1,643. An important accession of traffic was ex pected next summer, on the opening of the London, Chatham, and Dover line to Blackfriars and Earl-street, The working plan of the extension line to Maidstone were on the point of completion, and arrangements were in pro gress for the construction of the line with the least possible delay. The directors were applying to Parliament for powers to carry out an arrangement with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company, which had already received the sanction of the shareholders. The CILCILMLN moved the adoption of the report. Lord SONDES wended the motion. Mr. HOLROTD, in answer to a question, said the London, Chatham, and Dover Company worked the line at 60 per cent. of the receipts; and if the 60 per cent. received by the Sevenoaks Company was not sufficient to pay the interest on the debentures and preference shares, the difference was to be made up by the former company. The report was adopted, and the retiring directors and au ditor were re-elected, and a vote of thank' to the chair man closed the proceedings. 4 . , iz . .. .... . . i . ~. • ' , ...-..:..-. d e . .. ~ ',#.. a, - A, LI • ' , • . .... ... .. , f•-.. 1 1, .1 ~.-xul • 4 4. .. .--fis; ,4,...,,,,,„,. # v: , i, .

Mr, B3z.tlgette's rep- A , en au via metropolitan railway SCll2O3Vii . hros just been ig before Parliament this car presented to the Board of works. As engines : to the Board, Mr. Bazalgette has to state f'a ly wherever these proposed works, whether al. dove or underground, interfere with streets, divert their routes, alter their leveld, or trench upon the special works of the Board in sewers or subways. The :report says truly that the schemes proposed for the metropolis this Session are more numerous, bolder, and more complicated than on any previous occasion. They involve the construction of 258 new lines of railway and branches of 417! mike in length ; with 11 bridges over the Thames, and two, lines passing through the Thames Tunnel ; and the total capital proposed to bo raised is about £70,000,000. Ifyde Park, the Green Park, St. James's Park, Kensington Gardens, Newington Park, hackney-downs, Layton-grange Park, Trinity-squaw, Finsbury-circus, Camden-square, Oakley-square, Ampthill-square, Euston-square, and Sloane-square, would all be cut through,and some of them in two or three places, and the same would be the fate of the following open commons: Stoke Newington, Clapham, Tooting (invaded by seven different lines), Acton Back, Acton, Wimble don, Fulham, Deptford, and Turnham-green. 13ishopsgate-street would be crossed by railways nine times; Whitechapel-road, 13 times ; lii ~ g William-street, city, four times ; Strand . , four times; Belgrave-road, four times; Uxbridge road, Notting-kW., five times; Kensington-road, three time; ; Edgware-road, Kilburn, four firma .; Euston road and Marylebone-road, '.'uirteen times; Deptford Lower-road, three limos; Acre-lane, Brixton, live times. St. Stephen's-churchyard, and St. I'ancraa burial ground would also be invaded, the latter by no less than three different lines of railway. There aro no less than six competitors for constructing railways along the lino of the Thames Embankment, and underneath a portion of the new street to the Man sion-house; and in executing all these " improve ments" it is proposed to divert the present course of no less than 37 streets, to lower the level of 18, to raise the level of 34, and to stop up 69 ; altogether 52 sewers are returned as partially destroyed by these works, and no less than 526 as entirely de stroyed: The report is the most complete in its analysis of the mischief and destruction of property which would bo caused by some of these lines that has yet been laid before the public. Danish Account of the Battle at Oversee. COPENUAGFN, Feb. 24. Tho official .71crlingske 7ldende contains the fol lowing short but interesting report of the engage ment at Oversee on the Gth inst. " We have been requested to publish the follow ing details of the rearguard defence—not outpost fight—at Oversee, on the Gth, to obviate incorrect representations. It is necessary to observe that it is the duty of every vanguard to arrest the progress of the enemy, oven should the last man be sacrificed, until tho retreat of the main body is perfectly secured. " The rearguard of our troops consisted of the 7th infantry brigade, with two guns. The losses at Orerselk, had reduced the strength of the brigade to about 2,750 men commanded by Col. Muller. The force of the enemy under General von Gablcnz was composed of the Nostez brigade, consisting of two regiments of infantry, the Jager battalion, and the regiment of Lichtenstein Ilussars—in all 4,000 men —with two howitzer batteries. Our loss in killed, wounded, and missing was 800 mon and 15 officers. 'That of the enemy is authentically reported at 710 men and 28 officers. "It will bo evident from the losses upon either side that this engagement was one of the most stub born and sanguinary in the history of modern war• fare. At Waterloo every fifth man was put hors de combat, at Eylau every fourth man ; and while the contest continued in these battles the greater part of the day, the action at Oversee lasted only three hours. During this time the enemy succeeded in pressing the vanguard back about 2,000 paces, for at the end of the action our forces were still stationed to the north of the Bilksknow Krug, and upwards of three-quarters of a mile to the south of Flens burg." KENT COAST. The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the Vic toria station, Pimlico. Mr. C. 3. Hilton presided. The report stated that the line between Home Bay and Ramsgate was opened on the 2d of October last, and in consequence of the delay, the traffic was being worked at cost price, but the agreement with the London, Chatham, and Dover Company would come into operation on the Ist March. The directors anticipated a very large traffic daring the ensuing season, OSpeCiallY when the extensions of the London, Chatham, and Dover to Blackfriars and Earl-street were opened. The CHAIRILAN moved the adoption of the report, and said the delay in opening the line to Margate had arisen to consequence of some requirements of the Board of Trade not having been carried ant. The delay would be a loss to the company, but he did not think the London, Chatham, and Dover Company were to blame, as they had calculated upon having a large return traffic from Margate in the month of September. The directors had applied for power to raise £llO,OOO of additional capital. Sir C. HONEY seconded the motion, which was adopted, and the retiring directors and auditor were re-elected. The meeting was made special, when the directors were authorised to convert the B shares (30,260) into 6 per cent. stock. Thanks to the chairman and directors closed the proceed. inge. MANCHESTER AND MILFORD. Yesterday the adjourned meeting of this company was held at the ()Ohm, Cannon-row, Westminster—Mr. Moon in the chair. The report of the auditors stated that the outlay of the company—£s9,lBB--was in excess of the receipts; that there were liabilities outstanding, and a considerable arroar of calls, which they recommended should be at once called up. After ocuo disttaio, vu the motto Qt WI Dxsornif RAILWAY BILLS.

MERCANTILE MARINE INSURANCE. Mr. W. J. Fernie presided at the first ordinary general meeting of this company, which was held yesterday in Liverpool. The CHAIRMAN said that the result of their operations had been in every respect satisfactory, as the object of the directors had been to transact a moderate business of a good dam, rather than an extended one involving greater risk. The net premiums received up to Deo. 31, after the usual deductions, amounted to £72,827. They had paid about £27,000 for losses and averages. The whole of the preli minruy expenses had also been written off. Owing to the state of the money market, their investments had been un usually profitable, and from this source they could th"Jfore declare a dividend at the rate of per cent. on •: 00 paid-up capital, free of income-tax. The rat' lug directors and eaters wore ro-olootod. LAMBETH-BRIDGE. the half-yearly meeting of this company was held yester day at the Westminster Palace Hotel, Westminster, Vis count Torrington in the chair. The report stated that the balance in hand applicable to a dividend was 4687 ; and the directors recommended a dividend of £9 per cent. per annum for the six months ending the 29th ult., payable on the 20th of March, leaving about £350 for the next account. The capital account showed that £44,532 had been expended. The CHAIRMAN said he was happy to be able to propose a dividend at the rate of 9 per cent. There were three new works in the neighbourhood of the bridge that were likely to bring them much trafilo—namely, the south embank ment, which had been sanctioned by Parliament, the new St. Thomas's Hospital now finally fixed to be erected at Stangate, and a scheme for markets in Lambeth. The report and statement of accounts were adopted, a dividend at the rate of 9 per cent, per annum was declared and the retiring directors and auditors were re-elected. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Feb. 29, (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE BENCH AND THE BAR-SCENE IN COURT. Francis Jowers, a very respectable-looking young man, surrendered to take his t rial upon several indictments charging him with embetzling different small sums of money, amounting in all to about fEt or £9, the property of the trustees of a benefit society called the Progress and Unity Society, which is a branch of the Forester's Society. Mr. Metcalfe conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was defended by Mr. F. IL Lewis. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. The prisoner was then charged upon a second indictment with an offence of the same character. In this case the jury again returned a verdict of not. guilty. Mr. Metcalfe said that he was instructed to proceed with a third charge. and the prisoner was consequently put upon his trial upon another indictment which charged him with embezzling other sums, the property of the same society. The learned counsel, in opening the case to the jury, complained of the manner in which the last two cities had been summed up by the learned judge, and said that if the court had been differently constituted, and if the learned judge who usually presided had been present, he should probably not have felt himself compelled to take the course he had done in pressing so many inquiries upon the atten tion of the jury. Mr. Commissioner Kerr, upon hearing this observation of the learned counsel, interposed, and called upon him to withdraw the observation he had made. Mr. Metcalfe wished to know what was the observation referred to by the learned judge which he required him to withdraw. Mr. Commissioner Kerr said that the observation he required him to withdraw was that if the court had been differently constituted and the learned judge who usually presided had been present ho should not have taken the course he had done. Mr. Metcalfe said he did not intend anything disrespect ful to the Court in what he had stated. Mr. Commissioner Kerr said ho should not argue the matter, but if the observation was not withdrawn he should adjourn the court and consider what further steps should be taken in the matter. Mr. Metcalfe repeated that he did not intend anything disrespectful to the court. Mr. Commissioner Kerr said he considered the observa tion that had been made was highly disrespectful, and he believed that every one in court was of the same opinion. (Here there wore loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He should insist upon an unconditional withdrawal of the observation. Mr. Metcalfe, upon this, said that if his lordship consi dered the observation disrespectful, ho should of course withdraw it. The case then proceeded, but the evidence was pretty much the same as upon the other two indiciments. The prisoner was proved to have received several small sums from different members of the society, but it appeared ho had accounted for nearly the whole of them, and upon ono occasion he had complained to the trustees that there were so many entries to be made that it was impossible for him to enter the whole of them, and an assistant was provided for him. Thu learned Commissioner, in sutnming up, said it ap peared to him that the statement which had been made by the trustee as to the prisoner complaining of the amount of duty ho was required to perform, was the explanation of the whole transaction, and that there really were no grounds for making a charge of embezzlement against him. The jury again returned a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Commissioner Kerr then observed that ho entertained the same opinion ho had expressed with reference to the first case which had boon tried, that the evidence was quite insufficient to support the charge of embezzlement, and that the proper course to have been taken was to have applied to a magistrate under the provisions of the Friendly Societies Act, by whom tho dispute with regard to the money could have boon settled in the most satisfactory man ner, at the expense of a few shillings. Instead of doing this the society had thought proper to prefer all these indict ments at very great cost, and, under the circumstances, ho should make no order for the payment of the expense.. There Was a fourth indictment against the prisoner, but Mr. Metcalfe declined to offer any evidence in support of it, and when the little scone above narrated had been brought to a conclusion, the prisoner was ordered to be discharged. William Wen, 20, pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzle ment, and it appeared that ho had been before convicted of robbing a former master of a considerable quantity of valu able jewellery, and that ho had also attempted to commit another robbery in an establishment where ho had obtained employment after he came out of prison. lie was Nentenced to five years' penal servitude. Andrew bi'Lean, 63, pleaded guilty to a charge of unlaw fully endeavouring to obtain mousy by false pretences from Baron Templeton. 110 also pleaded guilty to a charge of obtaining a sovereign from Alexander Maine by false pre tenets. The prisoner is a notorious begging-letter impoa ter, and ho has been convicted at the instance of the M en dicity Society on a groat many occasions. He was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment upon the first indictment, and to be kept in penal servitude for three years upon the second.

Danish troops hay° been brought by a Danish steamer from Seeland to Fehmern. A Danish gun-boat is stationed in Fehmern Sound, which enables the DAnes to take up a similar flank position towards holstein as they occupy upon Alsen towards Schleswig. Further accounts from Alsen confirm the an nouncement already made that in all probability the siege will yet occupy some time. The trenches are scarcely opened, and they must be carried on under the fire of the Danish guns from batteries constructed on not inconsiderable heights. The I)uppel fortifications offer peculiar difficulties, which will account for the absence of intelligence of moment. Prince Charles has proceeded to the front, which is thought to indicate that there is no intention to check the progress of the siege works. The operations in Sundewitt will probably require weeks for their completion. The weather during the end of the last week was very wet, and fogs prevailed, so that groat hindrance was caused to the progress of the siege works. Frequently it was not possible to see from one end of the pontoon bridge at Eckensund to the other, and, of course, there was corresponding difficulty in observing the movements on each side. It has been stated that the Danes consider Alsen and Friodericia as the same military position, and that the last recon naissances were partly occasioned by intelligence having been repeatedly received by the Prussians that mon and guns were continually being sent to Friedericia from Sonderburg and Duppel. Some persons thought that this measure indicated that the Danes would quietly evacuate Duppel and Alsen ; but the events of the 22d ult. clearly proved that the Danes had no such inten tion. Even the Germans aro forced to admit that their gallant opponents yielded not ono inch of ground without a stubborn resistance. On the next day, the 23d, the position of the troops was as follows :—The Westphalian IVintzin- gerode Division were on the north side, with their headquarters at Warnitz, and extending from Sandberg to the Alsen Sound (which is at this place 1,000 paces broad), and as fai as the northern part of the Duppel Heights. Somewhat towards the so'ith some portion of this division occupied the Itavenskoppel, and on the south-west of this place stand the Danes in Rackebull, whilst the Stenderup Wood, south-west of ltackebull, near 13uffelkoppet, marks the extreme position of the Brandenburg Macstein Division, and by those dispositi on , I)uppel is partly encircled as far as Wenningbund. On the Broaker Peninsula, between IVenningbund and Nubel-hoer, stand six battalions of troops, to gether with a powerful park of artillery, who pos sess the power of retiring across the pontoon bridge at Eckensund, an d b y whom the main attack on the knotty point of t he Duppel positi on , th e Windmill hill is to bo made. At the affair on the 23d inst., when a Danish corvette attacked a battery of six pounders of the Artillery of the Guard, at Sten• derup, many Prussian soldiers were wounded, whilst the Danish vessel Buffered no injury.

The Royal Mail Company's steamship Shannon, Captain Abbott, 'with the above mails, arrived this afternoon. Ste brings 83 passengers, F peel e value 1,044,116 dole., of which amount 2 - 3,551 dols. are ou account of the Mexican dividends. Her cargo ci;n ,sists of 215 serous cochineal, 337 serous indigo, 3 serons jalap, 257 cases cigars, 260 bales tobacco, 543 packages cocoa, and 131 packages sundries. The Shannon left St. Themes on the 14th. On the 28th she exchanged signals with the ship Gene ral Windham, 60 miles vast of the Lizard. The General Windham is homeward bound from Bom ba3•. There is no news from the Pacific Coast by this mail, the steamer not having arrived at Panama up to the sth inst., the date of tho Royal Mail Com pany's packet from Culon. The French frigate Pallas arrived at Panama on the 31st January on her way to the coast of Mexico. Iler Majesty's corvette Mutine was daily ex pected at Panama from Vancouver's Island. Intelligence from Bogota is to the 15th ult. The greater part of the representatives had arrived at the capital, and some preparatory seFsions had been held, but a constitutional quorum had not yet as sembled, and Congress, therefore, had not been for mally opened. The French Charge d'Affaires at Quito had struck his flag and broken off friendly relations with Ecuador. The cause of this sudden rupture is not stated, In consequence of unfavourable news at Panama, by way of Carthagena, from the rebellious State of Antioquia, a proclamation was issued on the 4th inst., declaring Panama in a state of war, and call ing out 5,000 of the militia to defend the Govern ment. The ports of the West Coast of Mexico aro de clared blockaded by the French. The Panama Herald and Star of Feb. 6 says:— " We:understand that Admiral I3ouet, of the French frigate Pallas, has officially notified the Pacific Mail Steamship Company that the ports of the West Coast of Mexico are now declared blockaded by the French, and that the steamships of the company will merely be allowed to touch in there for coal and provisions, and to land and receive the mails, hut will not be permitted to disembark or receive passengers or curgo. IVe have no recollection of any previous notice of the blockade of the West Coast having been given, and this, therefore, ap pears rather a summary way of enforcing it. The next steamers:from the United States or England may have merchandise on board for Acapulco, which must either bo returned to the original ports of shipment or detained on this isthmus. We should suppose that the usual time allowed for vessels to arrive from foreign ports and discharge their cargoes after the port has been declared blockaded should also be expected and granted in the present case, as custom has established the rule, and so abrupt a deviation from it may cause ♦ery serious loss and inconvenience to innocent persons. "The instructions, however, received by Admiral Bonet from the French Government are, we learn, exceedingly stringent in regard to prohibiting all vessels from touching at any of the Mexican ports even for supplies, but, at the instance of the French Consul the admiral has been led to grant the con cession above mentioned to the steamers of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, although it will not be extended to any other vessels, and these steamers have permission to touch at Acapulco only. " The blockade is now effective, there being seve ral vessels of war on the coast to enforce it. There is no probability of its being continued for any length of time, as the ports will doubtless soon suc cumb to the demands of the Imperial Government, and the object in enforcing it is purely to prevent the importatio❑ of munitions of war and contraband articles, and not to place any check on the commerce of the country. " We have received from reliable sources new and important information about the state of affairs in Antioquia, which it was too late to publish in our last. The news given therein was spread with a certain officiousness, and, although we suspected that it emanated from a certain party, we could not otherwise but communicate it to our readers, as we did not think it would turn out to be pure inven tion, and as we had not received any direct advices from that region, papers and letters from there being opened and kept back in Carthagena. " Things in Antioquia, indeed, look far from satisfactory to the present Administration. The Conservatives, as we said some time ago, have con siderable forces, several thousand men, and seem to bo well organised. Their army, under command of Joaquin M. Cordoba and l3errio, surprised the Go. vern mut troops near Marinilla, aid routed them completely. The Governor Pascual Bravo, General Jose Ante. do Plaza, the commander of the Liberal forces, and some other men of the same party, among thorn Dr. Echeverry, Secretary of the State, wore killed. Tho Conservatives next invaded the Stats of Cauca, but were repulsed by General Jose M. Sanchez, who pursued them, it is said, into Antio quia, and took possession of Manisales. The Go vernor of the State of Bolivar, Nieto, has left with troops from Carthagena for Antioquia, after having got the necessary money by seizing the funds of the matzos Muer las 1 The weather continued favourable at Grenada, and several plantations had commenced crop opera tions. Generally, however, manufacturing opera tions were retarded by the backwardness of the canes. Whale catching had commenced, and the oil factories of Grand Anse were in active operation. Considerable attention was being paid in Mar tinique to the revival of the culture of coffee, and a large number of plants had been imported from Guadeloupe for the estates. A public meeting was held at I3arbadoes on the sth, for the purpose of petitioning the Imperial Parliament on the subject of the sugar duties. The petition prays for an immediate reduction of those duties, the suppression of the slave trade, or, failing that suppression, a differential duty in favour of free labour sugar, or such other reli e f , &c. Business in the island continued dull. Ex change on London, bank bills, 90 days, vio quoted 480 dole., and 481 doll. for 60 days ; private bills at 90 days, 485 dole., and 60 days,: 4B7l ° At Demerara the weather had been favourable for planters, and a few estates commenced the crop for 1864. The produce market c' .8 dull, but prices steady. Business at Jamaica remained dull. In the pros duce market there was a falling off in the supply of advancing tendency.
