Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and pur:fying agent, is now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it has hitherto been sold has presented its general use; to obviate this obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and purifying agent, the -present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W. Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity and at the lowest price. It is sold by all Chemists and Shipping Agents in the United King dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each, and in larger vessels at (is. per Gallon.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having ser ved in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease pr aoaching, I have instant recorse to this medicine, which to me is p so valuable, that were it not t u hat the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf lered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS s towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. "To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &e., &c., containO and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world. Sold by Thomas Prout, 229, Strand,' London ; and all respectable Medicine Vendors. Price 28. 9d. per box.

We have received by the Indian mail our porre sPondence and journals from Sydney to the 30th of May. The Legislative Council of New South Wales has taken the first step towards carrying into effect the change in the constitution of the colony con ceded by the dispatches of Sir J. Pakington and the Duke of Newcastle. In the sitting of the 20th Mr. Wentworth moved the appointment of a com mittee to draw up what is called " the new consti tution." The chief point discussed in this pre liminary debate was the future organization of an Upper Chamber, the establishment of which is the condition attached to the other concessions of the home Government. In the remonstrance of the Council of last year, the constitution of Canada was referred to as the model to be copied in the reor ganisation of that of New South Wales. The Cana dian Upper House is composed of members nomi nated by the Crown for life ; .and Mr. Wentworth, in moving for the committee, assumed that the Council has bound itself to adopt that mode of constituting the Upper House, and no other. The Crown has granted what was asked, and it is argued, the Council has no right now to alter the terms of its demand. Only one member of the Council—Mr. Martyn—dissented from this view of the question ; he thought the Council was not so completely tied by the language of its remonstrance as Mr. Wentworth supposed, and maintained that the reference to the constitution of Canada was merely general—a mode of expressing their wish that the spirit of "responsible government," which has been so advantageous to Canada should be in fused into the future political system of New South Wales r and_not. a-.demand for the exact reproduc tion here of a Canadian institution. The commit ! tee, however, will, it is pretty certain, a d o pt Mr. Wentworth's view of the question, and recom mend that the new Upper Chamber be composed of nominees of the Crown. It is the readiest mode of meeting the difficulty ; but that it will be popular out of doors is,more than doubtful. The nominee system is disliked in any form ; hitherto, every failure in colonial legislation has been ascribed to the influence of the nominee members of the o b v e ern li Council, as at present constituted ; and it is the general impression that the new Chamber will be composed of nearly the same men who are now the mttleent— more tha t a in n regular fact,supporters the the nominee section of the Council sitting sepa rately, instead of forming an integral part of it. The unpopularity of the official members of the U o e r r te C rs ham of b Chamber the willG present Council will be transferred to any assembly constituted in the same manner by nomination. It will be prejudged. This is the disadvantage of the system ; on the other hand, it is argued the Crown is not limited in its selection to its present nomi nees, and that if the new appointments are made for life, as in Canada, some of the body might de rive from that security a degree of independence that would render them fair arbitrators between the Crown and the elected representatives ; and, even if the change went no further than sending the official nominees of the Council to sit in another Chamber, it would still be an advantage, inasmuch as the Council, then whrjlly elective, would give a truer reflex of public, feeling. At present great concessions have to be made to official influence to secure the passing a measure or the adoption of a report ; and some of the elected members will, per haps, not be sorry to see the representatives of the Crown fairly "in another place," where they may be " bombarded with good measures," and left to incur the undivided unpopularity of rejecting them. Something like this is very likely to occur. The committee to which all the despatches of the Colonial-office are referred consists of the following gentlemen :—Mr. Wentworth, the Colonial Secre tary, the Attorney-General, Mr. Martyn, Mr. Cowper, Mr. Douglass, Mr. J. M'Arthur, Mr. Murray, Mr. Thurlow, and Mr. M'Leay. The question excites no general interest ; the public mind is wholly absorbed by business, and the task of constitution-making falls in a very unfavourable time. Nothing less solid than gold and the large profits of the traffic it has created command any attention.

Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Prideaux were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Montague Smith, Q.C., and Mr. Hodges for the defendant. Tile plaintiff, Mr. Slade, was a waggon manufacturer and wheelwright, carrying on business in Temple Backs, Bristol, and the defendants were Messrs. T. J. Evans and Thos. Evans, and the action was brought to recover 1481. 13s. 4d., the value of certain timber, and as com pensation for injuries the plaintiff had received through a breach of contract by the defendants. The action arose out of these circumstances :—ln Ja nuary, 1852, there was a sale of a quantity of timber on the Piercefield estate, near Chepstow, when a purchase was made by a Mr. Thomas Smith, formerly a resident at Bristol. The purchase was made subject to certain conditions, one of which was that if Smith did not pay the money, the vendors should have the power of re selling the timber. Subsequently to the purchase, Smith became involved, and amongst other persons he was indebted to the plaintiff ,covor - Itiis sum he offered the timber which he had bought at Chepstow. This brought the plaintiff into connection with the defendants, who agreed to let him have the timber upon his undertaking to pay the residue of the purchase money. An account was made out by the Messrs. Evans, and the plaintiff gave a cheque for the balance. The plaintiff subsequently agreed to sell a portion of the timber to a Mr. Bachelor, of Cardiff, who sent his trow to Chepstow for the timber. He was, how• ever, owing to the defendants' breach of their agreement unable to get it, and plaintiff was obliged to pay him 151. for the services of the trow, and also a sum of money as compensation. This formed a portion of the claim for special damage. Plaintiff subsequently again called on defendants for the timber, when they said there was an account due for hauling by Smith, and that the , plaintiff must pay it. To this plaintiff replied that nothing had been m entioned of any charge ofhauling in the account rendered him, and therefore he had nothing to do with it ; he at length assented, however, to give a cheque for it if defendants would give him an acknow ledgment of its receipt. They refused to do this, stating that they did not wish to involve themselves in the mat ter, and the plaintiff refusing to give a cheque under any other conditions, the defendants refused to give up the timber. In these transactions the Messrs. Evans were merely the agents of other parties, but as they de clined to give the name of their principal, the action had been brought against them. The plaintiff and his attorney, Mr. Salmon, were called to make out the case, and the plaintiff stated that owing to the defendants' default he had been obliged to break faith with parties, whereby he had suffered loss. Mr. M. Smith, in giving the defendant's version of the matter, admitted the sale to Smith, but stated that owing to his failure to give security for the money beyond the 70/. per cent. deposit, the defendants directed the bailiff of Piercefield not to allow Smith to have any more timber. The bailiff not wishing the timber to lie on the estate and injure the herbage, wrote to Smith that if he did not remove it he should be obliged to do so himself, and Smith failing, the bailiff removed it to near the place of embarkation, at which place the plaintiff saw it. It was clear that Smith must be liable for this charge of hauling, and the plaintiff coming in in Smith's place, also became liable. The plaintiff contended that he was not answerable for any charges between Smith and the bailiff, but there was no reason why, as the representa tive of Smith, defendants should let him have the timber upon more favourable terms than it would have been supplied to Smith himself at. For the defence, one of the defendants, a clerk in his office, and the estate bailiff, were called, and they stated that the plaintiff was well aware of the haulage charge at the time when he came about the timber.

This celebrated Oil is now universally ac'inowledged to be the cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It prevents it from falling off oc turning grey—strengthens weak hair —produces a thick and luxuriant growth—cleanses it from Scurf and Dandriff—and makes It beautifully soft, curly, and glossy. Its operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; and in the growth of WHISKERS, EYEBROWS, and MUSTACHIOS, it is unfailing in its stimulative operation. For Children it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and rendering the use of the fine-c mb unnecessary. In dressing the hair nothing can equal its effect, rendering the Hair so admirably soft V at it will lie in any direction, an i imparting a transcendant lustre.—Price 3s. 6d. and 75.; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d. ; and double January February March April Total that size, 21s.

A series of five resolutions expressing the thanks of the Council to her Majesty's Ministers for the recent concessions, and proposing also an address of thanks to the Crown, was moved and discussed on the 27th, but for various reasons the resolutions themselves were so strongly objected to that they were finally withdrawn, and a committee of eight members named, with instructions to draw- up others. The bill amending the Gold Regulations Act has been introduced and printed ; it removes many of the grievances that have been so much complained of, but, if the reports from the goldfields can be relied on, is still not considered satisfactory by the diggers. The desertion of the fields of New South Wales for those of Victoria is ascribed to the strin gency of the regulations enforced in the former province. But the diggers are under any circum stances a migratory class, quitting one field for another, according to the reported richness of the finds.' The greater productiveness of the southern diggings drew them to Victoria in a rush ; and the discovery of richer deposits than those now being worked in the north would bring them back again. Under no regulations, however favourable, would they stay in an unproductive field ; nor would the most stringent rules keep them out of a very rich one. The number of workers in any district is, in the main, determined by what can be got in it ; the regulations that are so loudly condemned as " the cause of depopulation" of the New South Wales diggings may have some influence, but not half so much as people impute to them. The new bill will allow persons to " prospect" or try the ground without licenses in places that have not been proclaimed as goldfields. The prohibition of the issue of licenses to runaway servants and ap prentices is repealed, merely because it is impossible to carry it with effect ; but a conviction of hav ing absconded from hired service cancels a license if it has been obtained. Servants, persons in Go vernment employ, and clergymen, are not to pay license fees for residing on the fields, and foreigners are to be dealt with precisely as British subjects. With these amended regulations if a few dazzling nuggets are turned up during the winter, the Syd ney diggings may again be tenanted. Without some greater finds than have lately been made, much effect cannot be expected of them. The committee of the Australian Anti-Convict League has decided on dissolVing that body so soon as the ministerial declaration of the abolition of transportation to any of the present Australian colonies shall have been legally carried into effect by an order in Council, or an act of Parliament. It is proposed to celebrate the dissolution of the league by the grandest banquet that has ever been given in the colony. The Adelaide steamer arrived here on the 21st ; the incidents of her voyage have almost brought steam itself into discredit, and the condemnation of the Royal Mail Company, on all sides, is deep and hearty. It is doubtful whether the Adelaide can attempt to make the voyage back to England in her present state ; the general impression is, she will be sent to India for extensive repairs, as there is no dock or slip here large enough for a vessel of her tonnage. The Shanghai has luckily brought the mail shipped by the Australian ; had that been delayed as long as the former one, the merchants of Sydney would probably have been supported by the Council in a strong remonstrance to the Post-office authorities at home on the mismanagement of their contract for this colony. Considering that the exports from Australia now equal in value those from the whole empire of India, the colonists feel justly indig nant at their postal arrangements being so bungled. Two glaring failures, and an accidental escape from a third, when millions depend on the advices both ways, are enough to give colour to any charges of neglect or incapacity in those w ho have the real control of the arrangements. The accounts from the goldfields are almost limited to the returns of the quantities of bullion brought down by the escorts, and the preparations made by the diggers for the winter ; many will quit the crounds to return in the spring ; the more steady and t ' determined will camp out and work on ; bark huts and log house 3 are being built, and in many places the diggings present a more settled ap appearance. The roads, difficult in summer, are becoming worse, and the carriage of goods in again rising. At Castlemain (Victoria) there has been a disturbance, caused by the over-zeal of the police in repressing illicit grog selling ; they pulled down and demolished a store in the night without war rant or authority, leaving the inmates, lodgers, and others exposed to the weather. Such a proceedine• on suspicion was considered too bad, and the dig gers thrown into an anti-poli ce agitation. Indig nation meetings are being held, and placards are posted on the gum trees, invoking the spirit of Hampden against official tyranny. By the last re port it was supposed that the local commissioners would allay the storm by paying for the damage done. Half the busi ness of the b police appears to be in hunting out these contraband establishments. Considering the enormous number of public houses THE LAKES OF KILLARNEY; REMINISCENCES OF DUBLIN, &c.

Chastity and its infringement. The casualties oflicentiousness and dissipation, with illustrations, graphic, narra tive, and remediative. Advocacy of early marriages. Mr. Overend and Mr. Higgins appeared for the pro secution, and Mr. Sowler for the prisoner. The prosecutor is an operative cotton spinner at Ashton-under-Lyne, and has lived with the prisoner in comfort for about 20 years, until about 12 months ago, since which time they have had frequent quarrels. The prisoner is the mother of 11 children. On the 21st of May the prosecutor returned home at mid night, and the prisoner struck her son, upon which the prosecutor interfered. The prisoner said to him, "Hold your d—d noise ; you shall n o t li ve th ree weeks." He then asked if she was going to poison him, to which she replied, "No, thou may live as long as thou can." He hit her with a poker. On the evening of the 24th, upon the prosecutor returning home from work, he got some coffee, which tasted disagreeable and rough, but he did not mention this to his wife. During the night he got up to get some water, and he then told her how he felt. Upon getting up at five o'clock in the morning, he took a parcel of coffee and sugar for his breakfast. On pouring it out at breakfast -time, he saw some white grains, and he took the stuff to Mr. Star, the druggist, and requested him to analyse it. On the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, he continued very unwell, and accused her of attempting to poison him ; but she denied having put anything into his coffee. She said some sugar of lead must have fallen from a glass in the cup board into his sugar and coffee. She said that she got the lead for the purpose of bathing her face, which had been affected by St. Anthony's fire. She recommended him to get some castor oil. The prosecutor gave in formation to Inspector Buckley, who apprehended the prisoner, and the coffee was analysed by Mr. Stone, of the Manchester School of Medicine, who found acetate of lead. The principal witness for the prosecution was of course the prosecutor himself, who stated the leading facts of the case and the symptoms under which he laboured. He was cross-examined at considerable length by Mr. Sovvler, and admitted that he had occasionally taken laudanum at nights, but never in the day time. In this, however, he was flatly contradicted by his sons, who stated that they had frequently seen their father take laudanum in the day-time ; sometimes with a spoon and sometimes he drank it out of a bottle. Buckley, the officer, stated the fact of his apprehend- THE MARRIAGE STATE. " To be or not to be, that is the question."

Stone, analytical chemist, stated that he examined two parcels from Mr. Buckley, and found a quantity of white grains, which proved to be acetate of lead. Several children were called who stated that they had been sent several times by the prisoner for sugar of lead to bathe her face. Mr. Sowler addressed the jury at considerable length on behalf of the prisoner, observing that this was a most serious case, and the motives suggested against the pri soner were— first, a quarrel with her husband about a small sum of money ; and secondly, the base motive of possessing herself of the sum of 4/. from some benefit society, in case of her husband's death. The fact was that the weakness under which the prosecutor laboured was produced by laudanum, and Mr. Steer, the druggist remonstrated with him, and then he got laudanum else where. The husband denied that anything had been the matter with his wife's face, but it appeared that she was ill only three weeks before she was apprehended, and she got some sugar of lead then. The learned counsel then commented upon the conduct of the prose cutor, who just before the time of his wife's apprehen sion had got drunk along with her at a public-house, and now appeared to prosecute her. His lordship having summed up the evidence, The jury found the prisoner not guilty. MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE YOUTH AND SECRET INFIRMITIES OF MATURITY. DR.

Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necess that management)al men should know that there are principles of personal which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any decree of physical indrmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of hese delicate co m- ess plaints, and is the only legally qualified rhysici t an who, regardl of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press. to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting thi department of practice, he has been amply rex arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrnins, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

[PRICE SD. permitted in the towns, [a freer dispensation of licenses at the diggings might be made without detriment to morality, and would render the illicit sale of spirits less profitable. The regularity with which large quantities of gold are brought down to Melbourne proves, how ever, that the diggers do not allow their labour to be interrupted by such incidents. By a return sub joined it will be seen that the produce of the Vic toria goldfields continues rather to increase than diminish. The richest or best-worked diggings are evidently at Mount Alexander. As long as the yield in Victoria continues so great no change in the gold regulations of New South Wales will bring the 0-old seekers back to the northern fields. It is quite possible the Sydney diggings may be no less rich than those of the south ; nothing is more ca pricious than the manner in which gold is distri buted. But to become popular they must furnish some counter-temptation to announcements like the following, taken from the last Geelong Adver tiser : " Mr. Esmond, the first discoverer of gold in Victoria, has just brought into Geelong a splendid specimen found in White Horse Gully, Ballarat, of the estimated weight of 60 ounces. It was found at 54 feet depth, in a seam of quartz running horisontally beneath a hard conglo merate of slate and quartz blended. The specimen re sembles those masses found at Canadian Gully. The colour, shape, and fragmentary appearance of the quartz are the counterparts in every respect of those found at the Canadian. WhitelHorse Gully is close to Yuide's home station, and on the Ballarat side of the dividing range." Some of the miners now use gunpowder to loosen a bed of conglomerate from five to ten feet thick, which has to be cut through in the works at the White Hills and Ballarat. The ' cradle,' the first and simplest contrivance for washing the stuff, is being superseded by machines that wash greater quantities more thoroughly ; the long Tom' is an enlarged cradle, and the ' sluice ' is a still more ef fective arrrngement for parties sufficient in number to work it. The whole process is gradually be coming one that requires a certain degree of skill, and that of a kind which must be acquired on the spot ; even in discovering the most likely places for claims, geological knowledge is often baffled where a sort of local instinct succeeds. It is the recom mendation of one of the scientific authorities of the colony that persons who have read up their geology for the article gold,' with a view to the digging s , had better, on arriving there lay all their science on the shelf as soon as possible.' The following return gives the quantity of gold delivered from the Victoria fields, at Melbourne, by the Government and private escorts, in the firs/ four months of the present year : Ounces. ~ 186,015 . 172,329 .. 169,654 ~ 161,431 Total In the corresponding months of 1852 the produce of the same fields was as follows : Ounces. 64,834 56,108 51,865 67,556 .... 240,363 The increase is 449,066 ounces above the produce of the same period, last year, or 187 per cent. But it should be remembered the fields are now more extensive, and worked by a greater number of per sons. There is no indication that the yield is fall ing off ; another return gives the quantity brought down in the last two months from the several diggings : BT GOVERNMENT ESCORT. Ounces.

The operations of the mining companies have not yet gained for them the entire confidence of the public in the colony. It is the general opinion here that for some time to come it will be impos sible to keep a sufficient body of workmen together to render mining on a large scale profitable. There are peculiar influences in the colony that tend to break up any organisation for gold mining not formed on the principle of share and share alike, both in the work and its profits. It is not the best system, but perhaps the only one practi cable at present. Unless the companies can give the highest rate of wages men can make, or even hope to make, at the open diggings, they will not work for them long ; skilled miners are even less likely to be retained by employers than any other class ; they will be tempted by very high offers to become leaders of these small mining parties, to whom their experience will make them invalu able. As to enforcing agreements by law in the colony, it may be possible to a certain extent, but not for any length of time. Compelled service will soon be found worthless ; and though prosecuting their men may afford some degree of satisfaction to a board of directors, it will not pro duce dividends. Such is the character of colonial predictions ; though the possibility of mining for gold profitably on a regular system, in any other state of society, is fully admitted. All the condi . - tions of the labour market are thrown into confu sion or reversed, and all undertakings that require intricate and permanent arrangements are sus pended or cannot be commenced. One mining company here, is already, it is rumoured, on the point of being broken up ; and Mr. Hargreaves, the Crown commissioner for explorin g th e go ld districts, in his last report to the Colonial Secre tary, dated the 10th of April, say s —" The Great diligently endeavouring Quartz Vein Mining C ompany i s endeavouring to ascertain the extent and value of their claim, and is in the course of establishing more extensive machinery than is at present in operation ; it appears extremely doubtful that th e vein will ever re p ay th e cap i tal that has been ex pended upon it.' For expressing this opinion, the secretary of the company, Mr. Mitchell, has called on Mr. Hargreaves to state as publicly on what data or special k now l e d ge he founds his opinion. The question has not yet been answered. Of the six gold mining companies five are noted in Bar ton's Share List without any quotation of a price for their shares i n the colony ;of one—the Great Nugget Vein Company —the last London price of its share is alone given. Her Majesty's birthday, the 24th of May, was very loyally observed by , the citizens of Sydney ; the shops were closed, and a general holiday kept. The Governor-General held a levee on the 24th, and gave a grand ball at the Government-house on the following evening. Rents continue to rise in Sydney, to the dismay of all who have only fixed incomes and no lease. Provisions, though far below Melbourne prices, are high, and the large importations do not appear to bring them down, as the purchases for the Mel bourne market are extensive. The great mass of immigration goes to Port Philip ; but the real na ture of the work required for successful gold-seek h i o ng is becoming more known in the colony, and t to who cannot undergo severe t oil are compelled find other employme nts. Wa g es have probably reached their highest rate. This cannot be pre dicted of house - rents , a s there is comparatively_ littl e building going on. Capital makes a quicker return in other investments, and skilled labour cannot be procured in sufficient quantity to con- // /Ad 7 t e-le--/-17, ct apidly. Some few P,toreg and offices are being pushed on to completion, but few dwelling houses are in course of erection. To :those. not actually making money, life is a struggle :With ex-, pensive discomfort ; many persons .who were inde-,, pendent of trade are leaving the colony altogether and returning to England ; profemional - men; Go4;:.?- 4 1 vernment officials, and others are drivenfrom the city, finding it impossible to pay the Arent s manded, and are compelled to find resideneeein tite;*,, country. Those who are employe dat - fiiednalariei-- 1 or who hold Government situations, a** dui r off, as they can neither quit them nor, like profes sional men, increase their income by higher . charges. This unfortunate class is fast sinking into debt, and the Government has been compelled by the hardship o f th e i r case t o p ro pose a general increase in the scale of all official salaries ; the measure is now before the Council, and, when voted, will pro baLly be made retrospective, the increase com mencing from the Ist of January last. But in all respects Sydney offers only a faint picture of the state of things at Melbourne ; there rents are asked f or mere h ovels that would not be demanded formansions i n E urope ; and the rapid increase o f the population is beginning to be regarded with something l i k e f ear. So great is the suffering; Of the hundred s w h o l an d th e re destitute that the residents, though till now very indifferent, have at last made an a tt empt to relieve it, by pre paring som e place of temporary shelter for the new corners. There is some difficulty in comprehending how positive destitution can exist where every kind of labour is well paid • but a large proportion of th e i mm i grants are neither labourers nor mechanics, nor domestic servants • the diggings failing, they soon sp en d a ll th ey h ave, fall into a most miserable condition ; at last they are compelled to become labourers on the road, or anything ; but the struggle with pride is often long land painful. One of the Melbourne journals has published a solemn exhortation to this generally useless class, imploring them to descend cheerfully and " like Christians" to the menial occupations for which there is a field, at the same time lecturing employers on the folly of entertaining a prejudice against taking gentlemen and ladies for household servants—an additional difficulty with which the educated destitute have to contend. There is, it seems, something embarrassing to a master in having a graduate of Cambridge to black his boots or groom his horse ; and even if a gentleman offered to un dertake those duties, he would be rejected for one who could not be accused of mathematics or man ners. Yet, if the advice of the writer above cited could be followed, it would be a benefit on both sides ; that it should be so earnestly given is one of the indications of the anomalous state of society. The Monumental City, an American vessel, was wrecked on the night of the 15th by running on.a rock in Malagoutta Bay, on her passage from Port Philip to Sydney. 32 of the passengers and crew perished ; 54 were saved. The captain, W. H. Adams, is severely blamed for recklessness and keeping too close to the land, even against the warning of on e o f th e passengers , w h o w as well acquainted with th e coast. Th e n i g h t was fi ne an d the wind off shore. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. SYDNEY, MAY 30. Our markets continue very active, and our trading community is in a most prosperous state. A very large amount of coin is in circulation in proportion to the paper afloat. Money never was so cheap in the colony as at present, and we doubt not it will be cheaper still. We must then look for heavy speculations and speculative purchases of the most extraordinary nature being en tered upon. Credits are tendered liberally, and many houses will, doubtless, spring up ready to avail them selves of the favourable opportunity of obtaining heavy stocks. The trade and importers are, the most part, very confiding, and the colony, on the whole, in an ex cellent course of training for running into as heavy a crash as we had in 1842. Up to the present time goods were so exceedingly scarce that there was no oppor tunity for investment. We are having large quantities of goods coming forward, and the trade are stepping out of their line to speculate in land, houses, &c. With our immense resources we can never be long sufferers ; but even they cannot support the expense the colony n•w labours under. Consumable goods of all descrip tions leave an enormous profit. Manufactures of almost any description sell at extravagant rates. Materials of whatever description are enormously high. Mechanical labour of whatever class yields a most extraordinary return. Ale and porter are being largely consumed, and leave a very heavy per tentage. Bacon, hams, cheese, and butter rule exceedingly high, and the finest qualities most sought for. Fish, dried and preserved, bears an extreme profit, and the consumption is very heavy, though we notice a decline on the extravagant rates ruling during Lent. Spirits are quoted higher for brandy ; rum and gin without alteration. Oats, oatmeal, barley, peas, malt, wheat, bran, &c., all fluctuating considerably, but leave large profits to the importer. Flour is rather easier. Oilmen's stores leave a very heavy profit to importers, and, as the country stores had been cleared previous to late arrivals, are freely taken as they come to hand. Fine sugars are in request, and some very suitable samples in the market, ex Fanny Fisher and Richard and William. Fine samples of Hyson kinds in request, and stocks light. The stock of Congous is rather fallen, and prices barely remunerative. SYDNEY SHIP NEWS. Ships arrived at Sydney, May 15.—The Africa, from Liverpool ; and the Duke of Wellington, from the Downs.

The inhabitants of Dover and Folkestone were throw n into a painful state of excit emen t y es t er d a y evening in consequence of the outbreak of one of the most tre mendous conflagrations that has occurred in the ton of Dover for many years, and which, at nearly midnight, was still raging furiously. The damage already done, it l i i s a g, feared, in a laerrgael number h e m o übsearn ofd pounds pereen a ster ling, to which amonntt o several be thrown out of employment. The premises in which this terrible fire commenced belonged to Messrs. Walker and Co., oil merchants and seed crushers, situate under Dover cliffs, something more than a quarter of a mile from the Dover terminus. The discovery was made by one of th e 60th Ri fle Brigade, who in passing the mill perceived smoke in dense bodies hovering over the south-east side of the premises. Assistance promptly arrived, and au attempt was made to confine the flames to that part of the mills then on fire, but unfortunately without the least success, The fire was not discovered until a few minutes before six o'clock, and in less than ten minutes after the clock had chimed that hour the flames could be seen rising several yards above the roof of the mill, and were roar ing with a noise resembling that produced by several furnaces in full play. The powerful engine belonging to the South-Eastern Railway Company was immediately taken to the spot, and was followed by two from the barracks, with another belonging to the ill-fated factory. A strong muster of the troops was also soon at the scene, together with Superintendent Coram and a body of police. The whole of the engines were at once set at work, but the confla gration continued to spread, and became visible for miles. About half-past six o'clock the scene became one of fearful grandeur ; for the fire rose to a great altitude, and at the same time myriads of sparks and large flakes of burning material were drifted by the wind, and kept falling upon the house-tops a considerable distance off, ° exposing them to imminent danger. At this conkp, - ture an electric telegraph message was forwaaVento. London, requesting the aid of the fire brigade d gines. Mr. Braidwood, upon receipt f of m the South , - ordered two of the brigade engines, one from Watling street, station and the . other . the news arrival of the engines strong body of firemen. Upon t:ireasin readiness, upon street, to be sent to the London -bridge terminus with a , and they at at the terminus a special train was which they once proceeded to the scene of which the engines and firemen and twenty minutes after reached in about tv,o that time the fire had made terrible leaving London. By was impossible to tell how much havoc, and even then it co nflagration,placed further it would extend. direction of Mr. Braidwood, the whole force Under the nod those connected with the local engines, from town,wo work, but at the time the last train left Dover went to (the express) the fire was not nearly su bd ue d . The mill, it should be stated, was situated at the end of Snares brook-street, under the cliffs, and was nearly half as large as the Londou-bridg terminus of the South- Eastern Railway ; and from the fact of nearly the whole extent of the works being on fire, tl e -e seems no chance o f getting it entirely extinguished until Ime this (Mon day) morning for at frequent intervals, as the vats and casks of oil become ignited, they explode, and the con tents run about like liquid fire. The property destroyed already must be enormous, but it is impossible to tell at present the exact amount. A. telegraphic communication has been received at London-bridge since the express train left Dover, to the effect that the flames were extending. It is understood that Messrs. Walker are partially insured,
