It has roused a strong opp o sition more effectually than the simple proposition of a nominated Chamber would have done, and directed it with greater force against the whole scheme. The proposed creation-of a privileged class or order may be considered as abandoned, and, having been so soox and so readily given up, it was scarcely worth while to have suggested it at all. It is understood, however, that the Council will main tain the principal of nomination for the Upper Chamber at all hazards, and, rather than give up that point, would refrain from making any change whatever in the present system.

The Australian Steam Navigation Company's screw-ship Victoria, Champion commander, arrived at Falmouth on Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. She left Sydney, Sept. 17 ; Melbourne, 23 ; Ade laide, 29 ; King George's Sound, Oct. 9 ; and the Cape of Good Hope, Nov. '7. She is 84 days from Sydney, 78 from Melbourne, 72 from Adelaide, 62 from King George's Sound, and 32 days 20 hours from the Cape of Good Hope. She brings on freight 184,000 ounces of gold, and has 44 first and 53 second-class passengers, who probably possess over 20,000 ounces, some of them having nuggets varying from 34 to 65 ounces each. The intelligence from the colonies generally is of a most satisfactory character. At Sydney the rural and pastoral districts to the north were very prosperous, and high prices were given for stations. The city is free from robberies, and handsome buildings are rising in all directions. A Government surveying party was on duty at Port Curtis or Port Gladstone, 800 or 900 miles north. This port is said to possess many facilities as a convenient outlet for wool and other agricul tural produce now conveyed expensively by land to Sydney for export. The Paramatta Railway is making slow progress, in consequence of a deficiency of labour. The Adelaide steamer was lying at anchor in Sydney harbour, her destination undecided. She is said to be in better condition than was at first supposed, The Aberdeen clipper Walter Hood was to leave Sydney on the 12th of October for England by Cape Horn. The market price for gold at Melbourne is 31. 17s.—rising. Wonderful discoveries are makin g a t the new Ballarat diggings. Three men in six days are said to have raised 1921 b. weight of gold. The license fee has been commuted from V. 10s. per month to 21. for the remainder of the year-90 to 110 days. The diggings are healthy, and the dig gers are adopting a more scientific mode' than for merly ; they sink a shaft from 6 to 12 feet diame ter, to a depth of from 20 to 100 feet, and from the base work radiating tunnels, which are connected at the outer ends by a circular tunnel. All the produce is sent up the shaft. Trkceptibgr nno at Sydney, all golf?" eortipanioa, especially the Peel River, are unsuccessful, in con sequence of the heavy expenses. Through the in creased efficiency of the police the city of Mel bourne :s quiet. The projected railway to King William's Town, 20 miles, has not been begun for want of labourers. About 20 or 30 merchant ships, with their topmasts struck, are lying useless in the, port. Seamen are scarce ; wages, from 101. to 121. per month.

Pub lic attention was chiefly directed to the opening of the navigation on the river Murray. A small steamer, commanded by. Captain Caddel, was able to tow shallow barges laden with stores through a certain portion of the river. Governor Sir Henry Young, had been staying at Adelaide recently. The Echunga diggings, lemiles inland, were not very profitable, although adventurers were still at work there. The Cleopatra was loading copper ore for London. Accounts from New Zealand are favourable. The drain of labourers from Van Diemen's Land is severely felt by the colonists. When the Victoria was leaving King George's Sound on the 9th of October the Chusan was entering. She had been to Sydney and Mel bourne, and was due at Point de Galle about the 29th or 30th of October. Her Majesty's ship Hydra, bound apparently to Algoa Bay, was spoken on the Ist of November off the Cape of Good Hope. In consequence of the bad weather and contrary winds, the Victoria, excepting 36 hours, has been under steam all the voyage home. Under these circumstances her progress is very creditable. She bears a good character among the passengers, who also speak in favourable terms of the skill and at tention of her commander. The following summary of the position of the colony of Victoria is extracted from the Melbourne Argus of the 23d of September : "THE GOLDFINDERS. "The improvement reported in our last summary has become more decided. The Goulburn diggings, from which flattering accounts were received about five weeks ago, have not fulfilled the expectations at first formed, though recent information gives a more favourable view of them. They are now spreading over a large extent of territory, and a considerable number of diggers seem deter mined to give them a fair trial. Great things are ex pected of the Ovens during the ensuing summer. Ben digo also continues to maintain its reputation. But the chief talk of late has been about Ballarat, the first of our goldfields, and still worthy of being ranked among the best. At the close of last month several diggers there came upon what they called a regular table of gold ; and those who were so fortunate as to strike the line took almost fabulous quantities out of their claims, which from their richness received the appellation of the jewellers' shop.' The escort returns having confirmed the current reports, a rush' was the immediate conse quence, though from the nature of the new diggings in that quarter multitudes will be doomed to disappoint ment. All the heavy finds have been obtained by deep sinking; and the reader will see that the term is used with some degree of propriety, when we inform him that the depth of the holes is frequently from 60 to 120 feet, and that many very productive ones have lately be en above 100, The gold is found in the beds of what may be called sUbterraneous creeks—that is, creeks which have formerly been on the surface, btit are now buried beneath the deposits of more recent times. This being the case there is nothing on •the present surface to indicate the direction of the aboriginal channel, As described by the diggers themselves, the gold is found in a gutter from 6 to 8 feet wide at the top, and 2 to 4 feet wide at the bottom. It is obvious that there niust be great Un certainty in finding gold where it is chfined to such a narrow and capricious line. At this moment some are sinking for this gutter over a width of 300 yards. The result of such a mode of operation is, that not more than one hole in 50 hits the line, and the test are what the diggers call 'slicers.' Some of the hales in Canadian gully have been estimated to yield gold to the value of 2,0001. per square foot, but this is probably an exaggera tion—at least we have it on good authority that one hole (one of the richest) was valued at 8001. per runnink foot,• ' and as the gutter was ten feet wide; it •would give SOS. for the square foot, instead of the 1,2001. or 2,0001. men tioned by a contemporary. " Experiments in deep sinking have also been going on for some time at Bendigo, with the view of reaching a seoond bottom, and, should experience .confirm the conjectures- of speculation as to there being several au riferous bottoms, we sball enter upon a new era in gold digging. There might, in that case, arise a necessity for a different set of regulations for the management of the goldffeldA. dining would come to be followed as a pro fession, in which capital and co-operation would be in dispensable requisites to continuous industry and success. " Since the date of our last summary (Aug. 18), the escorts have brought down 258,927 oa. The returns show a steady weekly increase, with . the exception of last week, which exhibits a shortcomitig of no less than 12,000 oz., taking the average returns . the preceding four weeks. This is attributable, no bt, to the re cent agitation in that locality, which h thus cost the l a diggers about 50,0001. It may have a eared a small matter, looking only at the loss of time, devote a day to a great demonstration; but it m a k es a • erent figure when considered statistically. H a d th e s t a ti s ti cs o f i n - 1 t ff dustry been always preserved with the tame accuracy, and been so immediately resolvable into a demonstra tion of pecuniary profit or loss, the industrial classes might have received many a salutary lesson. "In the table of receipts which we subjoin, the re turns by the private escort should be added to those from Bendigo and M'lvor, but as we are unable to give the exact share due to each, we enter them separately:— " GOLD RECEIVED BT ESCORT SINCE AUGUST 13, 1853.

We know, however, that British interests are so far involved in the article of Australian wool that we have prepared some informa tion with reference to that article which will doubtless prove interesting. "From returns with which we have been favoured by the Customs authorities at the undermentioned ports of this colony, we have been enabled to compile the follow ing comparative table of exports of wool, which before the discovery of gold was our staple production : "WOOL SHIPPED DURING THE YEARS ENDING JULY 5. 1852. 1853. lb. lb. Melbourne 9,389,967 ... 10,248,049 Geelong Port Fairy 723,400 ... 1,259,725 Portland 1,752,800 ... 3,080,560 18,657,567 21,310,294 "The number of bales in 1852'was 66,634 ; and in 1853, 76,108. "But it would be wrong if we did not apprise our British readers that a process is going on, of which we have before warned them, and which may one day seriously affect the supply of wool which they now draw from these shores. The value of the carcass is so steadily gaining upon that of the fleece as natu rally to affect the care with which each is watched by the settler. Fine, fat, large-sized sheep now frequently sell at 30s. each, the current price before the gold discovery having been 10s. to 125., while the fleece has scarcely improved in value at all. So fast, too, is the proportion between meat and its consumers altering that higher prices still for the carcass are reasonably to be looked for. " Besides this, that terrible scourge of the sheepowner, the scab, is spreading rapidly through our flocks, and the high rate of labour prevents the squatters from grap pling withlit tbaZnetr..o.ll.229lpile—iii.ffoCkii_of 'unliianageable *en y,campe t, and allowed to wander; and, except when brought up by wide rivers, this devastating disease progresses almost un opposed. "A continuous high price of wool in the English mar kets will afford a great encouragement to the settlers to struggle with these two tendencies so greatly deteriora tive to our.wool ; and the manufacturers of Great Britain will have to afford that encouragement, or they must gradually teach themselves to look elsewhere for a supply. " GRAIN. "For a supply of breadstuffs we must still reconcile ourselves to looking abroad. Our own production is a mere drop in the bucket compared with our consumption; and so numerous is our population becoming, and such large consumers are they of all the necessaries of life, that the supplies of all adjacent colonies, New Zealand included, must for a long time be utterly inadequate to our requirements. We have considerable stocks of American flour on hand ; but shipments from the ports of the United States appear now to have been nearly suspended ; and, as is always the case in a rapidly-fluc tuating market, low prices have for a time prevailed, and we begin to fear a possible scarcity before our own harvests come round. It is rather a fearful thought to those who do not deal in flour, and therefore have no interest in high prices, that a community like ours, ac customed to extravagant consumption, is so far distant from all extensive sources of supply. The course of post with England and America necessarily, occupies many months, and between the periods of orders being sent and being executed there seems quite a possibility of prices ranging from a rate that will be ruinous to shippers —to one little short of famine to the consumer. While fodder continues so high that oaten hay has long been, pound for pound, dearer than wheaten flour, our agriculturists will naturally avoid turning their atten tion to the production of grain. And in the meantime, probably for many years, the supply of these colonies with breadstuffs will constitute a trade very well worth the careful attention of the merchants of Great Britain and America. "TRADE AND COMMERCE. " The market is still overstocked with goods ; but our extraordinary powers of consumption have prevented anything like a decided glut, while symptoms of a firmer feeling are beginning to appear. Credit and confidence are unshaken ; and activity is discernible in every de partment of industry and enterprise. Building opera tions are carried on to a surprising extent, and the town is consequently spreading out in all directions, and ex hibiting an improvement in external appearance which would reflect credit on older cities. A new hotel has been opened, fitted up in a style of great magnificence. An arcade has been erected in the centre of the city. Public baths are added to the list of our luxuries. We have now a post-office, which is a perfect model of com pleteness and convenience ; and, if the official manage. ment of the institution bear any analogy to the mecha nical perfections of the building, we shall hear no more complaints about postal irregularities. We have the pleasure also of recording in this summary a de cided progress in railway undertakings. The Mel bourne and Hobson's Bay Railway is in course of construction, and is expected to be opened for traffic in six or eight months. The terminus at the bay is to be connected with a pier, which will admit of large vessels coming alongside for discharging their cargo. This will be of immense advantage, not only to mer chants, who will thereby get their goods landed both at less expense and in better Order, but also to immi grants, who will be saved from the vexations attending the present system. The wonder is that such a work was not undertaken sooner, but, once begun, we hope that it will be pushed forward speedily to its com pletion. " IMMIGRATION. "The immigration returns show a slight diminution in the number of new arrivals. Cases of desti tution are not so frequent as they were and com plaints on the parts of im m i gran t s of hardships endured during the voyage, or at landing, are not so constant as they used to be. Instances, however, still occur. In our last summary we referred to a case of misconduct on the part of a captain of a passenger vessel of a. peculiarly aggravated character, and it will be some satisfaction to those who read our former remarks to learn that the delinquent has since been sentenced to three years' hard labour on the roads. The owners of a vessel who could intrust human lives to such a drunken ruffian as this man was proved to be richly deserve a similar fate. "OUR SOCIAL CONDITION. "There is one aspect of our social condition respecting which it is of essential importance that correct ideas should be entertained in Europe ; it relates to the su premacy of law and order, the security of person and property. We are far from saying that all is accomplished in this respect that is desirable, or that every man who contributes to the revenue of the State has a right to expect. "The outrages to which we had so often to refer eight, ten, and 12 months ago, in and around Melbourne, are now of comparatively rare occurrence—a fortunate state of things, however, which will not long endure if our Legislative Council do not make a vigorous stand against the unwise and mistaken interference of the Duke of Newcastle and the Imperial Government with the measure which the Council passed last session against the unrestricted admission into the colony of condi tionally pardoned convicts from Van Diemen's Land. " Provisions in general are not dear, in proportion to house ren t ; at least tea, sugar, butchers' meat, ai_l?c: ni:l potatoes are at a reaso n abl e p r i ce ; b u t bread, k butter, and ouch vegetables as tu rn ip s , c abbages, dsc , , are still at a high figtire ; the quartern loaf is ls. It is evident, then, that . the fir s t an d necessary o expenses which meet a man n landing 'are very heavy ; but let not the new corner be therefore discouraged, if he is the sort of man suited to the colonyand almost all working and labouring men are—he will soon be in a position to meet his expenses, and alsO to put by money to join one of the many building and freehold land socie ties which the high price of land and extravagant rents have called into active existence within the last few months. English readers given to such pursuits as mar ket gardening, poultry-keeping, dairy-farming, &c., will form their own conclusions of the prospects of those following such callings in a country with a range of prices like that quoted in our market report. Battersea gardeners, Surrey fowl-tenders, and the dairy people of Kent and Essex will probably tick their lips at the thought of cauliflowers at 2s. a piece, eggs at ss. per dozen, and milk 2s. per quart. We can assure one and all of such that we have room for thousands of them ; that these high prices do not arise from any natural m t a h n at an t y he nu g m ar b d e e r ne o r f w ea il t l tl fi e, ml an p d len t t b y 6 o p f ou l l a tzy d - ; woman hens innumerable. tsfclaercdiatyiry,• " It must be distinctly understood, in spite of all the croaking' letters which have swarmed in the English papers, that the industrious workman may secure em ployment at high wages the very day he lands, while at the same time, the clerk, shoprnan, or broken-down city idler lingers about our streets dispirited, unemployed, and miserable."

Sina i ) our last summary this market has undergone a considerable change for the better. The causes to which We there alluded have been to a great extent removed, and the opening up of new diggings at Balla rat has also contributed to this result. The late news from China has had its influence upon the tea market, and a considerable advance has taken place ; congou may novr be quoted at from 61. to 71., and hysonskin from 5/, per chest. There is a fair demand for sugars of the fine sorts ; Batavia sugar is worth 351. to 38/. Large shipments of sugav are exp ec t e d, and the present prices cannot be relied upon. Salt is very scarce; coarse salt sells at 91. and fine at 10/. Bacon and hams are not very much inquired for. Oiliivni's stores are in tolerably active, demand: No change has taken place in the flour mar ket, which keeps firm, with every probability of advanc ing. For Adelaide flour 361. may be quoted.

The following is from the Sydney correspondent of the Times : SYDNEY, Aug. 28.—Since the departure of the last mail by the Oilman, we have been passing through a period of political agitation, excited by the new Constitution Bill. The report of the committee and the act itself were published to wards the end of July. The Opposition, which up to that time had been very feeble, having nothing to deal with but mere rumours of what were the leading provisions of the bill, immediately became active and decided. A " Constitution" committee was formed out of doors, by which a public meet ing was called at the theatre on the 15th of August, the day before the debate on the second reading of the bill was to commence in the Council. The object of the committee was to procure the rejec tion of the part of the bill creating a nominee Upper House, and the still more unpopular provi sion that it should ultimately become a kind of elected peerage ; if it failed in this, the committee intended to dema n d a postponement of the second reading till the colony should have fully considered the plan, and, if the delay were not conceded, it was proposed to petition the Governor-General to dissolve the present Council, in order that the whole question might referred to its successor. The meeting was accordingly held, and the citi zens really appeared roused from their usual in difference to politics. The theatre was filled in every part, and, altogether, it was the most in fluential demonstration of public opinion that has been made here since the close of the anti-trans portation movement, which was rather a social than a political question. The resolutions passed con tained protests against the portions of the Consti tution Act abovementioned, and a demand th a t the decision on th e bi ll should not be hurried. They were all adopted unanimously. On the 16th the second reading of the m easure was moved by M r. Wentworth, in a very a bl e and vigorous address, though it was perha rather calculated t o command admiration than ps, to make converts. He defended every part of the plan, even those w hi c h i t was generally known would not be pres se d or insisted ouby those who framed it. He denied to the citizens of Sydney any right to an increased share in the representation, , dis puting even th e i r utility to the colony,naswmnulech could do qu it e as well without the as they p ro d uced little or nothing, andra were mere brokers and. agents betw een the colonial con sumers and the European exporters. They were not an " i n t erest " in the true sense of the word, but a mass of population merely, an d not a city intelligent one. Sydney itselkhee sui generic, being Sai te C d l' with a host a place infested whom of people calling themselves A consti tuency colony could do very witness to character tuency has seldom had sucba ; well Without. but past services in its principal representativeih a privilege, and the have given Mr. that or some of his hasty expres- Wentw electors probably f° Cli erpre t e d too literally. The sions are not d th e be ren i- haughty tone of the whole passionate - s p eec h would have i n duced a hearer to expect a declaration of " no surrender" on any poi nt at its array of arguments in support of the close. Bu t • the scheme In all its integrity, and the contempt virtualexpre d for its opponents, were followed by a abandonment of the chief provision of the sse bill, and a larger concession to the Opposition than its petition demanded. Mr. Wentworth proposed that the second reading of the bill, at the close of the debate, should only be considered as affirming the principle that the future Legislature should consist of two Chambers, leaving it an open ques tion whether the Upper House should be elected or nominated, and that, after the second reading, on these conditions, the Council should be adjourned for three months, which would give ample time to the colonists to consider the whole subject. The debate was then adjourned for a week, was resumed on the 23d of August, and may not be con- k eluded for some days, but the course suggested by Mr. Wentworth will certainly be adopted. The Op position can scarcely object to it, though proposed by the advocates of the bill to enable them to pro cure some indication of support from the colonists of the interior, whose opinions, it ssupposed, will be some kind o f counterpoise to those so rapidly and. decidedly declared by the _inhabitant s o f Syd ney. At the same t i me it may be observed the few meetings that ha ve been held in the towns of the interior have all been against the bill as it stands; and the press of the colony is almost unanimous in opposing it. It appears to have been doubted from the first spring mioTation to the diggings is already visible. here. The same is reported from Melbourne. Business has slightly revived, and there will, no doubt, be a more marked improvement as soon as the roads of the interior are again open. Several persons have been arrested in Victoria on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery of the gold escort ; but they have all been discharged for want of evidence. The wounded troopers are re- covering. • The wine-growers of the colony have at last re solved to bring their- produce boldly- and directly into the market, and compete with the foreign wines, now so largely imported. A depot for the sale of colonial wine is about to be established in kept o S f y t d h n e e vneunderg Wine - growe rs' e a s, a A s g s o e m e a e t n i t o no.f tlf heicot supplied with good samples, and the public are enabled to purchase in convenient quantities, the speculation has every chance of success. A petition was presented to the Council on the 26th of August from the inhabitants of the More ton Bay district against the 51st clause of the Con stitution Act. By this clause the 26th degree of latitude is stated to be the boundary of the pro vince of New South Wales. It is really its old boundary, but by a recent act of the Imperial Par liament power is given to the Crown, on the peti tion of the inhabitants, to separat e th e M oreton Bay district fro m New South Wales at the 30th degree of latitude, and give the forme r an indepen dent local Government. The only condition, how ever, on which this separation would be granted is that Moreton Bay, or whatever its future name as a province may be, should receive convicts again. At one time the Moreton Bay settlers were inclined to do so, being almost wholly without a supply of labour ; but now their advocate in the Council states that the majority of the colonists in that district would oppose the establishment of a new penal settlement there. It would put them under the ban of all the other provinces, and the people of New South Wales would certainly resist most energetically any measure that would separate a portion of its territory for the renewal of the sys tem of transportation. Mr. Wentworth spoke strongly against the continual division of the country " into as many separate Governments as people chose to imagine would suit their conve nience,"—a policy that, by creating a number of petty States, would at last render the introduction of the federal system inevitable. The western escort arrived here on the 26th of August, bringing 1,650 ounces of gold from the Sofala and Bathurst fields. The escort of the pre vious week brought from the same localities 1,397 ounces. Owing to the demand for gold for remittance to England there is little chance of any great reduc tion in its price. The Victoria gold still commands the highest rates, from its superior quality ; it stands at 3/. 18s. and 3/. 18s. 6d. per ounce. The last quotation for New South Wales' gold is 3/. 16s. 9d. The M'lvor diggings are being deserted for a new field opened on the Goulbtum, about 36 miles north-east of Iliqvor. SEPT. 16. The new Constitution Bill for New South Wales was read a second time in the Legislative Council of that province on the 2d of September, by a ma jority of 34 votes to 8 ; two members voted in the minority solely on account of the clause in the bill relating to the northern boundary line of the pro vince. The further consideration of the measure is postponed till the 6th of December. A public dinner is to be given in Sydney to the eight mem bers who composed the minority in the Council. On the IStb of September a great public meeting was held in Sydney to agree to a petition to her Majesty, containing a protest against the provisions of the Constitution Bill, as opposed to the wishes and interests of the inhabitants, and to all sound principles of British liberty. The petitioners ex press a desire to see established a form of govern ment framed in accordance with the genius and spirit of the constitution of their mother country, and declare that the present Legislative Council does not, and cannot represent, the voice of tiny people of New South Wales, and is, therefore, in competent to frame a constitution which will be satisfactory to the inhabitants of the colony. They also declare their perfect confidence in the wisdom and justice of *the Imperial Parliament, and the sentiments that sway the Councils of her Majesty on this question ; and they pray her Majesty to withhold her assent to any measure that may fail to embody the views and wishes of her Majesty's loyal subjects and petitioners, and that some regard be paid to those views in any measure that may be laid before the ImperiaglsaPnoairrwleihauim.selheynitaa.stodp me T e h ti e ng p , e t t h it e io p n ro tfeodr severalbythl w ce as edi tui n hours.
