' • • - • AN EXTRAORDINARY CHRISTMAS.- It is common at Christmas that Turkeys and other land and water tribes, for the first time since they were hatched, become pas seneers by rail in mute complacency; the end of their journey is to swim, for the first and last time, in their own gravy, as a prowin to the best discussion on the affairs of Turkey. Such presents for Chris:- mu custom has rendered necessary, but the most satisfactory pre sent which parents and guardians can make to Young Gentlemen is a stylish suit of attire from the universally celebrated Establishment of E. Moses and sox ; its superior quality is guaranteed, its cut and make is perfectly unrivalled, its design specially denotes thecare and talent displayed in the greatest variety of Dress ever presented, its comfort and durability has long been the wonder and admiration of every one, end there is nothing more extraordinary than the very economical prime charged by E. Moses and Sox for Juvenile Dress. It is only occasionally that Christmas day is on Sunday, but that day is as favourable as any for appearing in the most gentlemanly Overcoats, Winter Dress, Hats,Caps, &e., which were ever displayed; of these a magnificent stock is prepared expressly for Christmas 13 , E. Mons and Sox, and any time between this day and the 25th De cember, every Lady, Gentleman, Youth, sr Child in the City, or out of it, may be well fitted with Christmas Attire of the most splendid and the most comfortable order at E Moses and SoN's Establishment, er its West End Branch. Let Christmas come soon as it mar, they aro ready to with all their patrons a merry Christmas, and to make it merry by superior articles at considerably lower prices than are charged elsewhere. CA UTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret haying to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOME IN OIL OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

The Princess Royal, 91, screw-ship, Captain Lord Clarence Paget, crossed topsailyards yesterday. The Gladiator, 6, paddle-wheel steam-frigate, hauled under the shears in the steam-basin yesterday morning, and had her masts stepped, preparatory to being refitted to join the steam reserve. The Caesar, 91, screw, will be undocked on Monday, and placed under the shears in the steam-factory basin, to ship the heavy portions of her machinery. The sailing sloop Helena, 16, is ordered to be brought down from the ordinary to-morrow, and prepared for docking and refit. The following Admiralty circular relative to engineer officers of the fleet has just been promulgated by the Port Admiral :—" Victory, in Portsmouth Harbour.— Standing Order.—The services of first and second class assistant-engineers being required, the Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty have acquainted me that such assistant-engineers as may, in other respects be eligible, are to be permitted to present themselves for examina tion if they belong to ships about to leave England, provided they have completed to within six months their period of service. They will thus, if they pass, be eligible for promotion when their full time is completed, instead of having to pass abroad, where frequently pass ing officers cannot be obtained ; and the same is hereby made known for general information accordingly.— (Signed) T. J. COCHRANE, Vice-Admiral, Commander in-Chief." The Tyne store-transport, Master Commander Tacker, arrived at Spithead this morning, en route from the Thames to Ascension, Rio, &c., with stores for the squadrons on those stations. The Seapark,. convict ship, arrived at Spithead from the Thames this morning, to embark prisoners for Fre mantle penal settlement. The Frolic, 16, sailing sloop, Commander Nolloth, is ably manned, with the exception of a few petty officers and artificers, and is ready to go to Spithead. We are informed the James Watt, new 91-gun screw ship, at Devonpert, will not be commissioned at present, but that the Cressy, 80 (new class sailing ship, adapted to a screw), will be the next screw line-of-battle ship commissioned. The Eurydice, 26, sailing frigate, is not to be commis sioned at present, but returned to ordinary until wanted. Tile Dauntless, 31, screw-frigate, has nearly com pleted the stowage of her holds, and will make trials soon after Christmas at the measured mile in Stokes bay. The tw• steam-sloops ordered to Devonport hence, to joist the steam reserve at that port, having been delayed by alterations in the screw sloop Conflict, will not now go until after Christmas.

The Zephyr steam•vessel returned to Woolwich yes- Ler(lay evening, after delivering the ventilating tubes ,ho conveyed to Sheerness, to be put on board the Royal George. The Monkey steam-vessel, Second Master Syder combe, returned to Woolwich, after having towed the Tyne store ship down the river, on her way to Ascen sion and Rio. The Alban, 4, paddle-wheel / Silo:Am-vessel, recently brought home from the West Iridies to Woolwich, was Laken out of dock to-day, after having her bottom newly covered with copper. __ The Onyx, Dover mail steam•packet, has been taken tito the inner basin to have her defects mode good. The Lesmahagow timber-ship is ai present unloading a fine cargo of pine timber from guebec, suitable for masts and spar& Some of the largest for masts arc about 110 feet in length. Twenty convicts for hard work in the dockyard, and 34 convicts for the heavy work in the Royal Arsenal, have been sent to Woolwich during the week from Mill bank and Holloway prisons. THE ROYAL NAVAL SERVIOE. The seamen of the present day are greatly improved in intelligence compared with those of any former period in the service of this country. Every new measure and every Admiralty circular is now carefully perused, and seamen will not now enter to serve in the fleet until they fully comprehend the duty they are to perform, the re muneration they will receive, and the treatment they will experience on board the ships of war or war steamers in which they may'have to servo on joining the Royal navy. A circular, No. 12 1 , was recently issued, which has - been much criticised by the seamen, and they framed certain questions relative to.it for transmission to the Admiralty. Their lordships have instructed their secre tary to answer the said questions, which has been done in the following " Circular No. 130. " Admiralty, Oct. 3. " Questions raised on Circular No. 121 by certain seamen -of the fleet with their lordships' answers there to : " Question 1. Whether men entering for continuous service would interfere with their entering for the Ex cellent ? Whether men can now enter ?—Men entered for continuous service will be eligible to be received into the Excellent as seamen-gunners, • in preference to ahose entered for limited service. The periods of service for the Excellent will terminate with. the periods of con tinuous service. _ _ _ "2. Whether three years' service in ship then in would reckon' as part of 10 years' service, or other period ?—lt would not ; but men now in the service may enter for seven years, or under clause 4, page 5, circular 121, and receive the higher rates of pay and pensions from the age of 18. The time to be so served must reckon from the date of volunteering for continu ous service. Tho higher rates for, petty time, when pensioned, can be given only to men who enter for 10 years, and serve for that period of continuous service. "3. Whether on paying off they would be allowed to join the guardship nearest their houses at the expiration of their leave ?—Continuous service men, when paid off, may choose the port to which they will return at the ex piration of their leave. Continuous service petty officers will retain the ratings of their class , but all such men will be sent to ships afterwards as r equired. " 4. Whether putting their named down for continuous service would make them liable to be draughted into other ships on the station, scr•as -be be-tept longer abroad ?—All men, whether entered for continuous or limited service, are already liable to be draughted to other ships when the exigencies of t t he service require it ; but continuous service men will not in general be kept longer abroad than at present. "5. Whether any time served as boy, after the age of 18, would reckon for pension ?—Time served in boy's rating, after the age of 18 ; will reckon as time for pen sions to continuous service men, and no others. " 6. Whether continuous service men, on paying off, will receive all their wages, or only a portion ?—Con tinuous service men on paying off will receive the whole of the wages due to them. " 7. Whether seamen on *old system will require 7 or 14 years' service for coastguard Seamen whether en tered under the old or new system will in future require 10 years total service froni the age of 18 to be eligible for the coastguard. " 8. While on leave, after paying off, can a man' volunteer for any particular ship?—Continuous service men when on leave in . England will not be entitled to volunteer for particular ships, but must return to the ships on which their namer are - borne. Facilities for 'exchange 'may be given when the service will admit. "9. Whether continuous service men before their service expires could enter for riggers in dockyard or Coastguard ?—Continuous service men maybe discharged by special order to be entered as riggers in a dockyard, or to serve in the Coastguard, but in general they will be expected to complete their engagements. 10. Seamen-gunners now serving as formerly, if they volunteer for Continuous service, will they be re tained on the books of the Excellent, and can they volunteer for a second five years as seamen-gunners on the . expiration of the first ?--Seamen-gunners now serving, and volunteering for continuous service, will be retained on the books of the Excellent until the expira tion of their periods of continuous service. "11. Whether any petty officer or seaman, who has less than 10 years to serve to complete 20, will he, if volunteering for continuous service, receive any increase of pension to what he would receive if remaining on the old system to complete 21 years !---No increased rate of pensions will b e given to men who do not enter for and complete 10 years' continuous service, but men now in the service, and entering for seven years longer, or under clause 4, page 5, circular 121, will be entitled to the pre sent rate of pension at the end of 20 years trom the age of 18, instead 0f.21 years from the age of 20. "12. A seaman having nine years' sea service and nine years' Coastguard service, will it reckon as 18 yews' full service I—Nine years' sea service and nine years in the Coastguard will.reekon as 18 years' service as time for pensions, but men entering the Coastguard only receive their pensions on being finally discharged from that service.. " 13. Will seamen, not continuous service men, have the same privilege of entering the Coastguard service as fo,merlyl—The regulations foe entry in the Coastguard will be the same for all men, and in future no men will be eligible with less than 10.years' service frora the age of 18. " 14. Whether clause 5, page 13, under head of pen sions, will include petty officers who have already served 13 years, and are only required to volunteer 7 years' further service; and, if not, whether they will be obliged to vOlunteer for 10 years, so as to come under that scale ?—All men must enter for and complete 10 years' continuous service, to become entitled to the higher rates for petty time, unless disabled by hurts in the service during the time. " 15. Whether seamen -gunners, who may volunteer for 7 years' further service, will belong to the Excellent for that period, as at present, and return to her after being paid off from a ship, 1,--Seamen-gunners who may volunteer for 7 years: further service, will be retained on the books of the Excellent till it expires, and from the date of volunteering. "16. Whether apprentices are allowed to enter for general and continuous service ?—Apprentices may enter for continuous service from the age of 18. " 17. Whether a man entering for continuous ser vice abroad can pass for a,seaman-gunner, as formerly, receiving the increase of pay at once t--Continuous ser vice men may pass for seamen-gunners abroad, and will belong to the Excellent during their term of continuous service. 4 " 18. Men from the Eircellent wish to know if, on volunteering for a term of 10 or 7 years, they will be considered to belong to the Excellent for that time, and if service to commence at once or only when discharged from the Excellent I—Seainen-tunners entered for five years may volunteer for continuous service without con tinuing to belong to the Oxcellent beyond the original 5 years, but should state- their intention at the time of volunteering. " By command of theittLordships. " R. OSBORNE. "To all Commanders of her Majesty's ships and vessels, SYDNEY, Sept. 19.—The discussion on the Con stitution Act; which during the past two months has excited so much of the public attention, .almost sharing it with the list of imports and the gold xe turns, is Suspended forn time. According to the suggestion of Mr. Went Worth, the leader of the' Government party, the second reading o f the.bill was not to Pledge theCotincil to an absolute accept ance of its provisions, but was oily t.o be taken as 'affirming the principle that the future Legislature shall consist of • two Chambers. • Whether the Upper House is to be elected, or .nominated by the Crown, it was proposed •should be left an open question till the.opinion of the inhabitants of .the. colony at large had been fully ascertained. With this reservation the bill was read a second time on the 2d of September, after a debate that lasted, with short adjournments, for 7 days, by a majority mouths, Ailte b o ei t n h g er re ni je ea ctt e of 34 to 8 votes ; the .amendment moved b y. M r. Darvall, that it b e read a second time t h a t da y 0 a local importance. The aoitat' on the gold fields had assumed a rather . ararini l 7 - but of the miners had expressed the of the session. have only appearance, throughout all the demonstration s - the spokesmen readiness .of. the men to pay a fee of 10s. a-mouth, provided some alterations were mad e i n th e mode' of cOll eetig6 cr't But from unconditio na l res i stance of the demanMr. Latrobe has gon e t o th e other extreme ceded more than was asked, and deprived th pro vince of some 700,000/. o f annua l revenueat a stroke. It was, of course, impossible to collect such a tax, among such a population,peculiar at the p o i n t of the bayonet ; 'but the offer of the iggers them selves, by which a third of that large revenue would have been saved, was at least worth listening to. How the loss is to be supplied is not yet known. It is believed here that an export duty on the gold raised will be attemped to be levied ; but two years 'ago that mode of raising a revenue was discuss e d and condemned by the Council of Victoria as im practicable. It would be extenively evaded, would obstruct mercantile transactions, and, above all, unless adopt e d i n thi s colony also, would merely make Sydney the shipping port for all the gold now sent direct from Melbourne. The abolition of the fee, though announced by Governor Latrobe, will not be immediate ; till the necessary act can be passed, a fee of 40s. is to be collected, which will be considered as payment for the license for three months ; at the expiration of that period, unless an equally sudden change of policy occurs, no pay ment except a small fee to secure a kind of rough registration of the population will be required. Here the Gold Regulations Committee will not, it is understood, go beyond a recommendation that the fee be reduced to 10s. a month. And probably the Council of Victoria, before the next three months expire, will modify the Governor's pro posal, which is marked by haste, if not panic, to the same extent. THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The Canada, from Boston, with the President's Message, arrived at Liverpool last night. She brings $700,009 in specie. The Message .commences with thanksgiving for the general prosperity of the country, and states that: the diplomatic relatfons with foreign Powers are essentially. unchanged'sincc last Congress. Thu pending.questions with same of them are in course of amicable adjustment. Negotiations are pendi tig_ivith England respect ing the fishery question, 'with a fair prospect of a favourable settlethent 'for American fishermen. Embarrassing questions have also arisen with England respecting _Central America. England proposes an , amicable arrangement, and the Ameri can Minister in London is now negotiating. It re commends that a boundary Tine between the United States and the British Provinces in the north-west should be traced and marked. The Message then reports that some progress has been made in negotiating a treaty of commerce and navigation with France, announces that since last Congress no attem , dts have been made by un authorised expeditions within the United States against the Spanish 'colonies, and promises that, should any movement be made,- all the means: at the President's command shall be vigorously exer cisedl to repress them.. . It recommends the prompt payment of the Spanish claims in the cas,e of the schooner Amistad. Respecting Kossta, it reports that after careful consideration the Presi dent had arrived at the conclusion that Kossta -was seized at Smyrna il legally; that he was wrongfully detained in an Austrian ship ; that at the time of seizure he was clothed with American iTationality ; that the acts of the American officers under the circumstances were justifiable and fully ,approved, and compliance with the demands of Austria is declined. The principles maintained by the Secretary of State in the correspondence with Mr. Hulsemann will on all similar occasions be applied and enforced. The Message then briefly refers to the China and Japan expeditions, and to the boundary disputed with Mexico, the question remaining unsettled ; reports that the Minister at Brazil is instructed to endeavour to negotiate the treaty of navigation with the Amazons, and that the Chincha Islands dispute with Peru is in a fair way of settlement, Peru indemnifying the outraged parties. The Treasury surplus for the fiscal year is $32,000,000, with which $13,000,000 of the public debt has been paid, leaving the present debt $'56,000,000. It recommends further progress in extinguishing the debt with the surplus; recommends a reduction of tire tariff as the second best means of preventing a surplus ;_ reports the navy to be inefficient, and recommends improvement; recommends an increase in the army, especially on the frontiers ; reports the Post-office revenue deficient $2,000,000, favours aiding the construction of• the Pacific Railway by all constitutional means, and concludes by briefly alluding to the death of rice-President King. The cholera was committing great ravages at New Orleans. 214 died in one day. Mr. Linn Boyd had been elected Speaker of the House. The cotton market, on the sth, at New Orleans, was without animation, awaiting advices. The Europa had arrived out. The Governor of Cuba, apprehensive of another expedition, was adopting vigorous measures to pre vent it. The Money Market was dull, awaiting further advices from Europe. Little speculation had taken place. Erie Railroad shares were quoted at 80. Exchange firm, with fair demand. London, 109 i to 110. Tho cotton market closed quietly, but firmly. Stock on sale light ; weight sale light. Flour was firmly held ; little doing in freights to Liverpool ' • flour, '3s. 6d. to 3s. 7d. per barrel t o London. Tobacco, 60s. per hhd. Letters from Mexico state that 200 armed men from San Francisco had landed at La Paz, Lower California, and taken possession of the town. The United States steamer numboldt, in .making for Halifax, ran ashore on the Sisters Rocks, about 12 miles from Halifax, and remained. .At last ac counts she was full of water, and had commenced going to pieces, and it was thought she would be a total loss. Crew and passengers saved. The Bremen ship Johannes, which sailed from Baltimore on the 16th ult. for London, put . back on the Ist inst., having encountered a severe gale in the bay on the 25th, which tore away windlass, ac., and she had to return for repairs. The British ship Triton, at Charleston, from Liverpool, went off Scilly, on the 17th of October, experienced a heavy gale from S.W. to N.N.W., during which her maintopgallant mast and yards had to b 3 cut away ; experienced heavy weather all the passage. The British barque Eliza, of Liverpool, from Calloa, bound for Baltimore with guano, went ashore on the beach 28 miles south of Cape Henry on Nov. 28 ; vessel and cargo a total wreck, captain and crew saved ; chief officer drowned. The British barque Sovereign, of Lon don, for San Francisco, sunk off the Falkland Islands on the 17th of September, in lat. 48 S., long. 80 W. The crew to the number of 20 wore saved on board the Danish brig Anna Cecilia ; ar rived at Valparaiso on the Ist of October. The captain and three sailors were drowned in trying to save the ship's papers. The ship Victoria, from London, arrived at New York, had 50 deaths on the passage, and the Southampton, also from London, 15 deaths. The barque Walter R: Jones, froth Philadelphia for London, had put into Baltimore leaky and with pumps choked. There have been some brilliant accounts from the Ballarat gold fields during the past 10 days, which are thus stated by the Geelong Advertiser : " Our intelligence from the scene of the last great discovery is up to Wednesday morning. We are now enabled to give more precise information respecting the alleged ' table' of gold, of which in formation was expressed to his Excellency in Mel bourne. The stratum of gold is, in reality, a basin,' not a table. Heretofore the gold has been traced in veins and pockets. Now it is found in an immense circular patch, or muster pocket, and already about it dozen holes have been sunk into it, every one of which has hit. So uniform is this rich stratum, that its value, wherever tested, has been found to range from 1,2001. to 2,0001. per superficial foot. When the stratum was first reached, the little mounds of earth containing tl&e gold had the appearance of a solid rock of the metal, but when handled it broke into a mass of dust and nuggets. The 12 holes are known by the name of the jewellers' shops.' " The accounts from the other parts of Ballarat are, though not quite so wonderful, quite as gra tifying. At the gravel pits, the washing-stuff is of the uuheard-of thickness of 13 feet, and it is an advantageous peculiarity of that field that the vein runs in a straight line. There is a new surfacing field at the back of the Canadian Gully, and at the Lagoon the surfacing still holds out, though it has been worked for several months. The Winter's Flat field has shared in the revival, and is yielding I well. QUEBEC, DEC. 1. " The courses of the several veins remarkable for richness are now well ascertained, and as they nearly all lead into the extensive flats stretching eight miles in length from Winter's Flat to Eureka, the eyes of the experienced diggers are directed to this quarter, and numerous claims have been marked out, although there is no chance of sinking holes for several weeks, or until dry weather sets in. Should the expectations respecting these flats be realised, there will be room here for all the diggers in Victoria. " The best proof of the general prosperity of the Bal larat diggings is to be found hi the fact that the lowest rate of wages on the ground is 21. per day, and many are engaged in sinking at per day. The population is rapidly augmenting, not in consequence of the late discoveries, but because of the steady prosperity which has been known to prevail for several weeks past. The latest discoveries have not yet had time to produce this effect." Later accounts slightly abated the sensation caused by the discovery of the "Basin." It is reached only after digging a shaft or hole 150 feet in depth, and appears to be limited to a compara tively small area, since parties working close to the lucky finders of the deposit have been disappointed. This is constantly the case, and though there is no doubt the real wealth of the gold districts is un diminished, it is distributed so capriciously that the pursuit is a mere lottery. To dig down 150 feet and find nothing must be a severe trial. The Bal larat news has thrown the other diggings into the shade • the above find occurring just as th e s p r i ng migration to the gold fields was commencing, has directed the movement southward. The coasting steamers to Melbourne are crowded with passen gers, and overloaded with baggage. The summer promises to be a very busy one ; a large increase in the gold returns during the next four months may be expected. The price of gold, however, has slightly fallen in Melbourne, in consequence of the uncertainty felt as to the imposition of an export duty. The decline is abut 2s. per oz. It has caused a similar, but slighter, decline in Sydney. Tho following is from the last Sydney Odd Circular : " Parties are not inclined to purchase at present high rates, anticipating still a greater reduction at Port Phi lip ; the cause of so sudden a fall was occasioned by the belief that Government would enforce at once the export duty. This matter now being set at rest, and a large amount being purchased for the Victoria, the price will no doubt reach former rates., It is alio fully anticipated that now the Oriental Company have reduced the freight, and also insurance, a large quantity will no doubt be shipped by that route, as also Chi na and India, e rhange now being v er y high there. The news from Victoria still speaks highly of the large yields at Ballarat' The uncertain stat e o f th e G overnment as regards the license fee, and vac ill at i ng conduct of the Governor an d Coun cil,nce keep th e m i ners dissatisfied, and will yet b e th e cause of an outb rea k , if something definite is no t settled is a great pity for the w e lf are o f this coun try, as well as It Victboria, that this great interest is and such a re g i s t ra ti on f ee exeow- also jg " requisite s t er i t e ht " protection of life and property;re-i for what is "re quired fo r o th er expenses 'puY fields. Th e news f rom the 01'017 n mated with the gold still mentions of large numbers daily accruing! MAY are spreading over the great richness. The country, and it is fully anticipated that at Mitta Mitta a large field will be found of g Cali fornians at the northern diggin gs are showing the bene fits of sluicing. willfm It anticipated at the Rocky River a be taken out. The escorts brought the Turon, 425 ounces 5 dwts „ large amount down 'this week, from from Bathurst, 241 ounces 1 dwt. 8 gra ins ; 6 grains ; 889 ounces 1 dwt. ; from Meroo, 306 from Tarn" *ns • from Mudgee, 32 ounces 17 ounces dwts . gra' , dwt. ; from Braidwood, 387 ounces 10 dwt. 12 grains ; the been offered this Mines, 216 ounces. Total, 1,998 ounces 11 dwt. A grea t m any samples of gold have wee k from new localities, but where the parties would not state. ""With a continuation of fine weather , the energies of th e Turon miners are again called into play, and un daunted by the disappointment and frequen t floods,directly a change shows itself, they fall to with a determination that deserves success. From the source of the river to its' junction with the Macquarie, detached parties are trying the ground, but the numbers at work are not sufficient fairly to prove it. This last week there has been a rush towards the Eagar Bark and Keenan's, and some rather numerous parties are tunnelling in the face of almost perpendicular ranges near the Big Oakey, pro ducing 5 or 0 ounces per day. At the back of the town ship of Sofala, where at the close of the autumn some rich claims were being worked, the o wners are again cutting a race ; surely these men ought to know how they stand in respect of the licence fee, which by state ments in the public press has been variously reported as reduced first to 205., and next to 103. per month. It would not be too much to expect to let the public really know their intention, for no legislation on the subject would do more injury than this delay, and the sufferers from it will think they are,little cared for by those en trusted with the management of their affairs. It is not to be wondered that the Port Philip miners demand to be represented, noting how little one great interest cares for the welfare of the rest, The dry season is now The winter season has fairly - set in. The British ship Britannia, while at anchor off Quebec, on the 28th' t ult., was cut through by ice and waterlogged ; she was towed to Wolfe's Cove. The British ship John Campbell had to ship her anchor to escape the ice, and was towed to the Cove. Captain Howell , of the British barque Elizabeth, which west ashore at Riviere do Loup, on the night of the 28th, reports nine British vessels ashore at Hare Island and River Side. Ono of these barques, the Mount Washington, has since passed Rivi6re de Loup in safety. Another bark, the British Queen, was surrounded by ice on the 28th, and the crew had abandoned her. 21 square-rigged vessels, of upwards of 12,000 tons, some were loaded, would probably have to winter in Quebec. Several had taken up winter berths on the 30th. The ships Wilson, J. K. L., and Waterlily, and brig Sutton, were also ashore at Hare Island. Several ships are reported ashore at Bic. GENTLEMAN KILLED BY THE EXPLOSION OF A GUN.— Yesterday afternoon a young man named James B. Lay expired in Cornelius Ward, Guy's Hospital, from the effects of injuries received under the following melan choly circumstances. Mr. Lay and a friend went out shooting in the neighbourhood of Beckenham, and as his friend was handing the gun to the deceased, by some means a branch of the hedge caught the trigger, and the piece went off, lodging the contents in his intestines. He was conveyed to the above valuable institution, Messrs. Byrkett and Wilbe, the surgeons, were unre mitting in their attentions, until death terminated his Oufferinge. 19 <7 Lve... ..i i i as dit will be bard if oontrhisylifoeueldisbemlaoisnt,.

The public despair of ever seeing the Post office authorities succeed in what they undertake, even'by accident. By the overland route We have news to the middle of July, and after it come lum -bering the letters forlilay. • The Australian Royal Mail steamer Victoria, the first vessel of that un lucky company that came out after the contract was withdrawn, made the quickest voyage by th e Cape rout 3 that has yet been accomplished: But the mischief has been done by the previous failures, and confidence Cannot easily be created. The mer chants noir depend. principally on the overland route, though the communication is only once in two months ; what may arrive or depart iu the in terval is all a chance. Two steamers sometimes leave for England within 21 hours of each other, as is the ewe to-day • the Victoria sailed yesterday, and the Shanghai leaves this afternoon : one of them is comparatively useless, as they must carry the same dates ; if sailing at an interval of 10 days or a fortnight, the accommodation would be in valuable. By another felicitous arrangement, the Shanghai sails before the mail by - the Stratail has been delivered, and all the letters for May must remain unanswered for a month. January, February, and March, in former years, were our business months. During these months, the wool teams bore back into the interior a twelve month's. supply of rations, and with the exception of August and September, when extra stores were generally required for shearing, the intervening mon th s were more or less without animation, ex cept when enlivened, as they were occasionally, either by speculation, or by scarcity in the neigh bouring colonies. But on the whole the demand was comparatively limited, and by comparison with previous years might be calculated with tolerable accuracy. The improved condition of the colonists, and the amazing increase of population, have now vastly altered the demand and supply ; and upon taking a retrospect of the last six or nine months, it, is surprisin g to observe the vast increase in the indi vidual consumption as far as it can be ascertained, as well as in the general improvement of the colony. Cargoes of the most heterogenous merchandize from all parts have reached a good market, and sold readily at remuneratincr prices, and gone into in stant consumption. A slight lull in the market has been perceptible during the winter months, oc casioned by th e impossibility of executing orders from the int er i or .. B ut with the fine weather trade is becoming more animated, and nearly all articles of merchandise are exchangi ng hands at remunerative rates. Ou r s t oc k s on the whole are light, and unless importations vastly exceed any thing we have seen in former years, prices will still rule high. At no former period in the history of the colony have mercantile operations been con ducted with so much satisfaction as they are at the present moment. The del credere commission, charged by our merchants and agents, is so much net profit. Bond fide business transactions and punctuality in meet ing engagements have become so much the rule that speculation can scarcely be said to exist. Owing to the causes we have mentioned above, and large arrivals, the prices of brandy, draught ale, and bottled beer, and oilman's stores, have slightly declined. Brandy may now be bought, in large parcels, at from 10s. to 12s. 6d. per gallon - draught ale, at 61. to 8/. ; bottled a l e , a t 10 s . to : 12s. 6d. per dozen ; and oilmen's stores, at an ad vance of 50 per cent. upon invoice cost ; Port wine, fair quality, from 6s. to Bs. per gallon ; Marsala and Sherry, at from ss. to Bs. per gallon. Eastern produce in demand, and stocks very low. Ship ments of flour, lumber, deals, furniture, &c., from America, have paid most handsomely of late. The stock of soft goods is now moderate, and by no means exceeds the immense and increasing demand. As a general rule, shippers of goods to this colony should be careful to select medium quality goods, as, although sometimes saleable, the demand for rare and expensive articles is comparatively limited. but inferior and cheap goods will scarcely pay the expense of transit. With new and remunerative gold fields opening in every direction, with thou sands of acres of unoccupied virgin land, with minerals cropping out of the most valuable descrip tion, with a climate the most salubrious in the world, and with the fact on record that thousands are daily enriching themselves and the colony by the most legitimate means of enterprise and indus try, we need scarcely say that we feel no appre hension of any change for the worse. In truth, our resources of wealth are yet all undeveloped, and our commerce can hardly be said to have made a commencement. It cannot be denied that gold mining in this colony has declined in its importance, as a branch of industry, partly owing to the superior attractions of Victoria, but chiefly in consequence of the ill concerted and tyrannical measures of the Legisla ture. At the same time, when the mining popula tion aro not only allowed to leave the gold fields without any efforts of legislation to encourage their industrial pursuits, but are being driven away by harsh and temporizing treatment, new facts are every day disclosing themselves, to prove that our auriferous treasures are very widely diffused and richly deposited ; and the few parties' . who steadily persevere, in the face of obstacles, are rewarded by very handsome gains. The total exports of gold from Sydney to the close of last week amounted to 1,435,815 ounces. The annexed are the present rates quoted, but dull :—Port Phillip, guarranteed, 3/. 17s. 3d. to 34 17s. 6d. ; Ovens, ditto, 3/. 16s. 9d. to 3/. 17s. ; New South Wales, 31. 15s. 6d. to 3/. 165.--Times Correspondent.

It has hitherto been the practice to give the pensioneis boiled meat, either beef or mutton, daily for dinner, but it is now var i e d alternately with baked meat instead of boiled every day. Extensive baking apparatus has been erected in the kitchens of the building to effect this new arrangement on the necessarily extensive scale required, and the veterans are much pleased with the variety win which is now by this means for the first time afforded to them. They are indebted for this im p ro vement to the ' 4 ' 9 " I late Governor, Sir Charles Adam, who ii spoken ot.z.a c i by them with the most affectionate regard as one of the,r,+ best and most consi derate officers th at ever filled the „ office of Governor of this great national establishment. ~:.co D EA TH OF MRS.
