Who can doubt that before this generation shall have passed away, that Austra lia will have her many millions of inhabitants, her huge fleets, gorgeous cities, thousands of miles of railroads, harbours, docks, and tens of millions of exports and imports ? The natural growth of the Old World calls for these almost fabulous develop inents in other quarters of the globe ; but who can calculate on seeing any European Power, with Colonies as great ip all that constitutes empire, as the parent country ? The cost of governing such a country as the United States, for example, would have rendered its continuance as a Colony wholly out of the question, and there is a point at which maternal care, or rather control, must cease in such matters as well as in private life. We may colonise and call innumerable and mighty nations into existence—spread Christianity and civilisation all.over the earth—give the last stroke of at - ability to all that is good and useful—bring around us millions of a kindred race to support us in the hour of need—but Colonies are, after all, only dependancies, and dependance ceases when its cost exceeds a few millions of pounds a year, or when countries can supply all their own wants. And State that Australia will be in this condition within a very few years, and will seek to regulate her lands, so that whole provinces cannot be monopolised, is quite certain. We, therefore, think that whatever purchase Prince ALBERT has made at the Antipodes is for some immediate use, and with a very slight regard to profit. THE ROYAL SQUADRON PLYMOUTH, Tuesday Evening•—The Queen, Prince Albert, and the royal family, arrived here this forenoon in the Victoria and Albert yacht from Dartmouth, accompanied by the Vivid, Black Eagle, Irene, and other vessels. Afterwards the royal squadron came into Hamoaze, and anchored off the Devonport dockyard. In the course of the - day the Queen landed at Mount Edgecumbe, where she was received by the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe. Prince. Albert and the Prince of Wales visited the Keyham dockyard, and landed at Mount Rise and inspected the new barracks at Devon port ; they also went up the river as far as the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash. Admiral Sir William Carter, and General Eden, were on board the royal yacht at 8.30 p.m. LIGRAPHIC LINE TO ALGIERS.--The uncoiling le from Sardinia to Algiers, according to the last raphic despatch, is to be resumed immediately --MARSEILLES, Wednesday.—The Vectis arrived at .five o'clock nis morning, with the Indian mail.

PERSIAN AMBASSADOR—A Hamburg journal states that the Persian Ambassador, who is accredited to the Court of the Tuileries, is orderel to visit London, in order to settle the An , lo• Persian difficulty. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.—Yesterday morning, a boy named John Charles Roberts, aged four yea's, who resided with his parents in Mill-road, was killed by a cart passing over him. No blame is attached to any one. An inquest will be held on the body this day. SUSPICIOUS CASE.— The body of a female child was found yesterday in the canal, at Burlington Street, and from an examination•. made by the coroner's be'idle (Mr. Blake), he is of opinion that foul play had been resorted to. An irquest will be hold on the body this day. INSPECTOR FIELD AT ALLSOP'S WAX-WORK EXHIBITION. —Every one who had seen Palmer, declare that his like ness at this establishment is the best that is extant, and a day or two since, Mr. Field, the celebrated London officer, on visiting the exhibition, was at once struck with the exact likeness of that notorious person, and declared it to be the most perfect he had ever beheld.—Adv. TILE Suir SAI.k M.—This fine Liverpool ship, belonging to the " Liverpool line of Australian packets" (Mess's. Magee and Livingston) by the late accounts from Mel bourne, made the passage, after leaving Cork, to Melboirrne in seventy-three days, and landed ill her passengers in good health. After unloading and taking in cargo, in sixteen days, at Melbourne for Bombay, she sailed for that port with 16,000 ounces of gold on freight, and a full compliment of first-class cabin passengers.

The child, we unders.and, had no bones broken, but had many severe contusions; THE NEW CALCUTTA. LINER, ZOTJAVE,—This very beautiful liner, built for the Calcutta trade, and now in the Brunswick-dock, has attracted much attention for several days past. She is a very superior model, built on the most approved scientific principles, and will sail fast. While car rying a large cargo, nominally, of 1,400 tons, her capacity is much greater. She is the property of Mr. AncL ew Duncan, who has spared no expense in fitling her up ' • and this department has been entrusted to Mr. John Taylor , so well known for his taste in the internal arrangements of vessels. She i 3 commanded by Captain Malcolm. FtaE.—Yesterday afternoon considerable a larm prevailed for some time through town, in consequ ence of a report which stated that a large ship was on fire in one of the southern docks.

While retaining the Isle of Serpents, .at the mouth of the Danube, he is purposing to establish a 'first rate naval station and arsenal on the Island on Kasko, in the Gulf of Bothnia, the second best harbour in Finland—a menace for Sweden and England. As these projects, however, do not affect French influ ence, the Constitutionnel makes light of the import ance of the Island, and the French Government have not for the moment a fleet sufficiently dispos ible to enter the Black Sea with the English. To supply the want, our last express announces that four more English steamers are to reinforce ou fleet by this time before Baltoch. Dr. , Lushington, yesterday, gave judgment on the charges against Archdeacon Denison, declaring that the Archbishop of Canterbury, with the unanimous concurrence of his assessors, had deter- mined that the incriminated passages were directly repugnant to the 28th and 29th of the 39 articles, but had allowed the Archdeacon till the Ist of October next to revoke his error. The sentence cannot consequently be delivered before that date.

In the Australian advices, which we published yesterday in reference to oilmen's stores, it was remarked that the brands of some houses, and amongst those named was Bull's, were being forced off by auction. Our attention has been drawn to the fact, that the Bull referred to is not the firm of Bull, Elliott & Co., of this town, who are engaged in the Australian trade, and who have shown us a letter from their correspondent at Melbourne,.dated the 23rd of May, and received by the Royal Char ter, from, which we make the following extract : There being a firm, partly the same as your good selves ( * * ) in London, who have been shipping oilmen's stores to this market, and which are greatly in disfavour, we think it decidedly advisable to have your firm in full (Bull, Elliott and Co.) Invoices should contain a list of the assortment of everything contained in each case, and also mark outside case, for instance, 2 doz. pickles, assorted; 2 doz. wines, &c , &c., from Bull, Elliott and Co. We have given you all our ideas for the perfection of your goods in our market, and we trust that, if followed up, they will tend to much good. Prejudices for particular brands are gradually dying away, and you will soon have a good footing in the market. ,The Funds were a shade higher, and were well supported through the day. Consols for account closed at 95 7-16 to 95 9-16. The quotations would have perhaps rated higher. if it had not been mak ing up day on the Share Markets, and if operators had not been occupied by arrangements for th e settling day on the 14th. Among the statements current was that of the faihtre of a member of the Stock Exchange, for an amount not exactly known; and it was rumoured that the 800,000/, brought over by the Royal Charter, was expected to be trans mitted principally to the Continent. The New Three per Cents were 96 to 96+, and the reduced 951 to 95f,'.. Exchequer Bills were 8s to .12s premium. Bank Stock was 2171.

The demand For money in the Discount Market was good, and the current rate was generally maintained at 41 per cent. A. meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Marzetti and Sons was held yesterday, when the statement of their liabilities and assets was submitted for their consideration. From this it appears that the total amount of claims on the estate, after deduct ing partially and fully secured debts, is 39,0691, and the assets, including a surplus of 3,1971 on the fully secured claims, 21,0651; thus showing a deficiency of 18,003/. The assets consist of bills receivable, outstanding consignments, cash, and goods in hands, which, if managed judiciously, may realise lOs in the pound.

We understand his health is nearly restored. The Duchess of Kent arrived on Saturday afternoon at Barry's Hotel, accompanied by the Princess Amelia, the Lady Augusta Bruce, and Lord James Murray. The Duchess of Kent and the Lady Augusta Bruce attended Divine service in St. John's Episcopal Church on Sunday. So overpowering is the heat, that a fat pig, which braved the fury of the summer's sun, and came to Newcastle on Thursday, to compete for a share of the Duke of Northum berland's £lOO, was struck down in the show-field by a sunstroke, and expired in the hour of victor/ ! Gateshead Observer COLLIERS ON STnins.—The colliers employed in the Oaks colliery, near Barnsley, still remain out on strike, and there is no immediate prospect of an adjustment. They persist in their determination not to return to work until the manager is dismissed, on the ground, as alleged, of his incapacity safely to conduct the operations of the pit. DECREASE OF PAIIPERISM.—A very gratifying fact, as illustrating the decline of pauperism in this union, was mentioned at the board of guardians on Thursday. It appeared from the books that since June 351 paupers had left the house, and of that number only seven had again returned to claim relief !—Tipperary Free Press. DEATH FROM GLANDEbS, A poor man, named M`Gartity, has fallen a victim to this horrid disease in our infirmary. He died on Sunday last, havi n g onl y been a dmitted the day before. It appears he caught the disease from a horse with which he had been working at Mulliaboy, near Fintona, and had been ill for eight or ten days. When brought to the infirmary, he was in such a state that nothing could be done for him. —Tyrone Constitution.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING I have no political news of interest to communi cate to-day. The 17th is the day at present fixed for the departure of the Emperor and Empress to Biar ritz ; but it appears quite certain that the Emperor will not remain there more than a few days with the Empress, though her intention is to stop a• month. This new separation of the Imperial couple, so shortly after a separation of some week's duration, has given rise to much comment. Last night their Majesties, notwith standing the great heat, went to the Grand Opera, to witness the first representation of a new ballet called the Elfes. The opinion in financial circles is that the money market, which for some weeks past has been extraordinarily dull, will soon become very active, and that in the course of the autumn there will be an enormous amount of speculation. Already an improvement is perceptible on the Bourse. • A. reduction in the rate of discount by the Bank of France is again talked of. If we are to believe the Belgian papers in the interest of Russia, France decidedly objected to take • part in. the demonstration which England made in the Black Sea, with the view of bringing Russia to her senses, with regard to Kars and the Isle of Ser pents. When the English government, in their papers, asked the French government to send out more ships, the latter pretended that it had none ready. But . the English government, it is alleged, clearly saw that it was a mere pretext, which meant a refusal. • The programme of the festivities of the Emperor's fete, on Friday next, has been published to-day. As usual, the festivities are to consist in the firing of cannon, pantomimes, - greased poles, concerts, and illuminations. The statement of a London paper, as to forgeries of bank of France notes to a vast amount having been discovered, is contradicted ; only three forged notes have, it appears, been detected, and that is a number not at all extraordinary. M. Pacheco has been nominated Spanish minister in London. The Madrid letters speak of the raising of the state of siege of the capital as probable. St. Petersburg letters say that the Emperor Alexander intends making an excursion in the southern provinces before his coronation, and that he intends to invite Count de Morny, the French minister, to accompany him. SPAIN The Epoca brings accounts from Saragossa of the sth. The greatest tranquillity prevailed in the capital of Aragon. General Dulce had issues bandos relative to the appointment of the new ayuntamiento and provincial deputation. All the persons chosen enjoy the greatest consideration, and their nomination was well received. The disarmament of the militia was proceeding in the different towns of the military district of Aragon, and troops have been sent from Saragossa to assist the authorities in carrying the measure into effect. The deputies Ruiz Pons and Borao had not been arrested. They were perfectly free at Saragossa on the sth. M. Abascal, whose demo. cratic opinions are welt known, was the only deputy imprisoned. General Dulce intended to remain eight or ten days longer at Saragossa. He had written to the Minister of War that he might dispose of the cavalry regiments sent from Madrid, the country being entirely pacified. The 500 men who assembled at Mequinenza, under the command of Bellera, had dispersed. Upwards of 400 had made their submission, and the remainder with drew without offering the least ressistance. PENINSULAR MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY EVENING The Peninsular and Oriental company's steam ship Sultan has just arrived from Oporto, bringing the usual Peninsular mails. _ _ The Sultan brings 100 passengers, £4,000 in specie, and a large and valuable cargo. Her dates are :—Gibraltar, 4th inst. ; Cadiz, sth; Lisbon, 6th; and Oporto and Vigo, to the 10th. A despatch dated Tuesday, from Marseilles, announces that the "mixed " steam vessel Algesiras, constructed on a new principle, invented by M. Dupuy de Lome, has made the passage from Toulon to Algiers in 32 hours. A letter from Berlin, in the Cologne Gazette, says : "The King of Denmark has just left Copenhagen with his wife, the Countess Danner, for Bornholm, and not for Paris, as stated by some journals." WHITEHALL, August 9.—The Queen has been pleased to appoint Colonel Wil'iam Cartwright and Lieut.-Colonel John Woodford to be inspectors under the "Act to render more effectual the police in counties and boroughs in England and Wiles." MORALITY OF FitENCO DRAMAS. — The Messager des Theatres says that last Wednesday the commission autho rised to award the prizes instituted by the French govern ment in favour of the dramatic compositions played at Paris during the pat year, which are held to be the best in their moral tendency, had a final meeting, deliberated, and decided that none of the dramatic works submitted to their inspection combined the qualities which are specified by the ministerial decree, and consequently, that the prizes could not be awarded at all.. M. Saint Beauve is to draw up an official report on the subject. TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF MESSRS BROADWOOD'S PIANOFORTE MANUFAC A fire of extraordinary magnitude, involving immense destruction of valuable property, illuminated the western district of the metropolis for - siveral hours on Tuesday evening. Upon a plot of ground exceeding a couple of acres in extent, and running from the Horseferry-road to Holywell-street, Westminster, have stood for thirty years the principal manufacturing workshops c Messrs. Broadwood, the world-famous constructors o every description of first-class pianofortes. At six o'clock on Tuesday evening 420 men left the various shops in the establishment, and, as was invariably the case one of the foremen inspected the whole premi after their departure, for the purpose of asce. lug that every thing was safe, and the stove fi. properly extinguished. In little more than half an hot, after the workmen had left smoke was observed issuin from the upper floor of the central range of buildings immediately beneath the clock tower. An alarm win instantly given at the residence of Mr. Russell, one of the principal managers, who lives adjoining the premises in Holywell-street. He immediately hastened to the build iug in question, and at once saw that the fire had made considerable progress, and was rapidly increasing its Stich assistants as could hastily be got together' were assembled, and an engine , which has always been kept upon the premises was soon at work. The Brigade engine from the Horseferry-road station, only a hundred yards from the factory, followed very quickly, and then came the parish engines of St. John's and St. Margaret's. As is too frevently the case, there was at first a scarcit y of water, and the most strenuous exertions of all present failed to make the slightest impression upon the flames, which spread rapidly from floor to floor, and before seven o'clock had wrapped in one burning mass the whole range in which the fire had originated. The peculiar construe.. tion of the workshops—built to obtain the best possible light, and consisting of distinct floors several hundred feet long without a break of any kind—rendered them an eas: , prey to the flames, and in less than an hour the fire ha obtained so terrible a mastery that very little he, existed from that time of saving any portion of t establishment. The intense heat of the central build' very soon ignited the adjoining ranges on each side, the from twenty to thirty feet of space separated the one the other, and before eight o'clock a body of flank almost unexampled extent rose high into the air, settit., out in bold relief the fine architectural outlines of the New Palace and the venerable Abbey, and attracting to the bridges and other elevated points of view thousands of spectators. Early after the outbreak, Mr. Walker, the chief superintendent of the metropolitan police, arrived on the spot with,a strong body of officers of the A and B divisions, whom he stationed at the various outlets of the neighbourhood, for the purpose of keeping off an idle crowd, taking care to allow the entry of a sufficient num ber of able-bodied men to work the engines. Mr. Walker, in the absence of Mr. Braidwood, who was out of town, endeavoured to carry out a plan for the salvage of some of the valuable property, but the fire was too swift to allow of the extricatiOnof anything more than a few!thousand feet of mahogany, which were thrown down off the roofs of the workshops and dragged into the Horseferry.road. Out of the five ranges of shops four had ignited when Mr. Staples, foreman of the Brigade, in Mr. • Braid wood's absence, determined by a desperate effort to cut off the communication with the fifth range, .by the employment of a large number of men with pickaxes and other implements. The wind favouring the operation, the flames were prevented extending to the northern most shops, which, beyond injury from severe scorching and water, have not suffered. The rest of the vast manufactory is a total wreck, and the loss thus occasioned to Messrs. Broadwood is, understood to be enormous. Nearly one thousand pl;Z:lo.fortes, in various stages . of manufacture, have been I;:t erl Y lost, and the value of the woods and other materiaL ci destroyed, amounts to an immense sum. Five shillings per square foot for veneers used by Messrs Broadwood, is not at all an extravagant price, and from this some notion may be formed of the loss that will be occasioned by the fire. The tools of a single first-class workman also may be estimated at .W7O. The total is fixed variously at £lOO,OOO to £150,000. The precautions taken against fire by Messrs Broadwood, were such as to render it almost impossible that an outbreak could take place. The specially hazardous character of the business is such that at this season of the year, it is not sup posed that any person has a light on the premises, and the stoves for warming glue pots, &c., are cased is iron, and under the special control of the officials of the offices with which Messrs. Broadwood have insured for 27 years without having had a chimney on fire. The premises are exactly opposite the gasometers of the Chartered Gas Company, and so alarming was the appear ance of the fire at one period that the authorities felt it prudent to discharge their gas by a main in connection with their gasometer at Spitalfields. The fire was got under about ten o'clock, but the engines continued to pour immense volumes of water upon the ruins throughout the whole night. _ _ ravages , LATEST PARTICULARS, Yesterday the premises were visited by the'autherities connected with the County, Royal Exchange, the West- Minster (which office is said to be the largest sufferers), the Law, and other offices in which the various premises were insured, to ascertain the extent of their loss. At halt-past eleven the wall surrounding the key shop fell with a tremendous crash ; but fortunately, owing to the vigilance of Messrs. Russell and Rose, the managers, as also Mr. Murray, the overseer of Messrs. Broadwoods , all the workmen were kept at a distant , ., and no accident happencid. The three upright shafts of the , drying house/ Still remain in a dangerous position, but steps were being taken to pull them down. We may add th.at the report of a loss of life is without foundation. EXTRAORDINARY APPREHENSION BANK OF ENGLAND NOTE FORGERS On Tuesday night, some information having been received by the City police, four detective officers, named Hugget, Funnell, Knight, and Spittle, proceeded to Nn -42, Upper Berner-street, Commercial-road East, . _ ,St. George's, for the purpose of making a capture of several respectably dressed foreigners, who it is supposed lately belonged to the German Legion, but who have for some time past been employed in passing forged Bank of England notes in and around the metropolis. These officers were engaged by the authorities of the Bank of England ta trace the person's who had been issuing the forged notes, which were executed in a manner that had really surprised even the principal officials of the Bank. The constables were dressed in private clothes , and last evening two of them repaired to the house in question, where they soon obtained an entrance 9 and were speedily followed by t wo o th er officers. Then proceeded to a room on the first floor, where the! found three men at work with a small portable printing machine niade by Waterlow and. Comp eny. Thera was a copper-plate engraved with an excellent imitatioit of the .e 5 Bank of England note; and there was a small machine used for printing, or embossing, the water mark. Three men, who attempted to make their escapes were immediately secured by the officers, and removefl to the Leman-street, police-station, Goodman's-fields, White chapel, where they gave their names, Charles Thompson , Auguste Frieting, and Lewis Boher. The police conveyed the whole of the printing apparatus, plates, paper, ink, &Co found in the 'room, to the station, and yesterday morning at eleven o'clock they were taken before the magistrate at the Thames police court, by whom the case was,remanded- SCOTLAND.—It appears from a return issued on Monday;-' that the total valuation of counties and burghs In Scotland is £11,700,935 63 0 5-12 d; being £8,155,972 6s 2 2 10., for counties, and £3,544,962 193 10 3-121 for burghs..

GERMAN NEWS —The Fremden Blatt reports that the objection which the Russian Boundary Commissioner makes to the surrender of Bolgard to the Turks is founded on the fact that that town is a place of pilgrimage for the people of the Greek religion. The Mormons' are making considerable way in Germany. The Gazette of Dresden, states—Mormonism exists in this kingdom, but naturallf it does not show ieself very openly. Although polygara is an established doctrine, it has not come into practice, here. The " Latter-day Saints" (Heiligen vom jansten Tage) preach incessant industry. They have plenty of money amonst them, which appears to come from England', Some Saxon Mormons have already gone by wav 01 Liverpool to America, to join the new state which - thei are there forming. There are about sixty more in Dreg" den who have listened to the call, and are waiting to make the necessary preparations previous to starting for America. RETURN OF JOHN FROST TO NEWPORT.-011 Monday considerable excitement was caused at Newport by the expected arrival of John Frost, the chartist. ..Ahmit three o'clock in the afternoon, some thousands had col lected on the bridge and on the banks of the Uslc; awaiting the arrival of the packet from Bristol. As soon as the vessel arrived sufficiently near to afford a glimps, of the chartist leader, a general cheer was raised, ana was responded to by Frost and his friends on board tbo steamer. An open carriage dressed with evergreens had been prepared, but as soon as Frost was seated, the crowd insisted upon doing the duty of the quadrupeds; and the carriage was soon put in motion by a number of " navvies," who conducted him through the principal s tr ee ts, stopping at different points, where he 10 4 greeted with loud cheers. On arriving at the opel i space of ground opposite the Westgate Hotel, the sce)l e of the desperate conflict between the mob and the mil , tary, be was greeted with a fresh cheer from th e immense multitude. The coach halted at a temperance_ hotel, from the windowor;hich was stisiended. banner bearing a likeness of Frost, Williams, and J o neg!, with an inscripti on t o t h e e ffect that th ese persons ha' been treated with cruelty.
