AUSTRALIA. SPLENDID PASSAGE OF THE ROYAL CHARTER, ARRIVAL OF THE EARL OF SEFTON The White Star Line of Packet-ship Earl of Sefton, Captain Noble, arrived in the Mersey yes terday morning from Melbourne, after a passage of eighty days, bringing 49,000 ounces of gold, 170 passengers, and 'advices to the 2Gth of April, Which are three iVeeks - later than those pre viously to h an d. Th ey report - t h at the steamer Royal Charter, from Liverpool,. arrived out Melbourne on the 10th of April; after- a passage of fifty nine days, being, we believe, the shortest run ever accomplished ; either by steamer _l. Her rapid run had quite ..,a the colonists. The Melbourne Herald, in Mimi, the fact, says : fling yes splendid J. o e greatest and best news brought by the Royal Charter —the astounding fact that such a voyage, and at . season, can bepeformed in fifty nine days, and that, 'chat' will, though the - Lords of the Treasury should go •on doping and deliberating, until lords themselves are I Pomn hq tuore, private enterprise will , outrun official slug- PiAr , '...ss, and the colonies will gain those oTc:s- 7 •by the hq..rse of trade, and without the contribution of bounties-- Which they they have, so long and so vainly, sought-for through the iota, vention of the government, and at the expense of an enormous subsidy. The 'principle of - free trade never fails V~ ose who have'the courage to' carry it out in its and to • depend upon those natural laws when left 'to itself, without which society, .mpertitience of legislation, ' perform satisfactorily, and work functions most integrate the meddl: its own lie great ends of its ins o N made up ou r m i n d s t o t hi s conclusion—startling a pe rhaps t many —chat the entire system of government interferenc with postal communication is a great - blunder, and a viola ition of commercial principles, quite as gross as if they , undertook the passenger trade, or established for themselves a monopoly as the common, carriers of the nation. However that may be, the 'successful voyage of the Royal Charter proves that we can be independent, if we like, of all further trifling, jobbing and procrastination, on the part of go vernment, and that, if it be -an , -object' of such over whelming importance as so-oe people think, to bring England within sixty days of this colony, it is here done for us—and without any thanks due to Abase who take our money and give us drivelling despatches in return for it.. , The ship Francis Henty sailed from-Melbourne, for London, on the 16th of April, with 106,273 ounces of gold, and therlsTew Great. Britain. sailed on the day previous, alsO ftir - London, with 46,769 ounces. The Oliver Lang would sail for Liver pool on the Ist of May, and would, it was expected have about, 50,000 ounces. The steamer Royal Charter was announced -to_ leave for .Liverpool on the 22nd of May, and it was expected she would have about 120,000 ounces of gold, and a large nut-Aber of passengers' The, receipts of gold by escort at Melbourne were for '..ne week ending March 29, 73,331 ounces; for tl:e week ending April 5, 62,414 ounces ; for the week ending April 12, 68,934 ounces, and for the week ending April 19, 32.595, making a total for the four weeks of '237;284 ounces, valued at about 949,136 pounds sterling. The price of gold was •quoted at 31. 16S 3d per ounce. Exchange on London was quoted at two per cent. premium, for thirty days bills, and the rates of discount were— on hills under ninety.five days currency, 7 per cent. • over ninety five days, 8 per cent. ; and overdrawn accounts, 10 per cent. Complaints were made of the' limited _nurriber of emigrants arriving, and the last monthly returns of arrivals and'departureaahowed that, during the month, 974 more persons had left the colony of Victoria than had arrived,` The question as to who should be the fourth Judge had at length been decided ; Mr. Molesworth . the solicitor-general - having - received the appoint . Theta. Th e . next question, to be decided Was who should be the new solicitor-general.. There had, been.. home more rioting at Ballarat : - which th e correspondent of the Melbourne Herald reports as follows e., the riots, —which arose iinrcediately out of the Local Court election, began at two - o'clock and les!ed till sunset. Hundreds of men are mere or less seriously injured, several are in hospital, and some in all but a dying state. • Everything short -of powder and ball was used onthe o ccasion. Axes, tomaliv.clis, picks.. bludgeons, and blocks 'tic only too well. The mounted police—alas ! only a drew their swords amidst the heartiest rs men of the five thousand rational an d respect , nee the wha had already olltai ne d th e o bj ect for har4'' bauatered together, namely,, that of. break up the 'Th.onomly which had previously exis'ed in the (Rad their opponents allowed them, they ..en have gone peaceably to their hime-.) Mr: dran Idly, a s an individual, shelved .himself possessed ooh coorage, but as a magistrate and an Officer of the .42, he forgot, until it . Way too late, his large powers of ,tin;; and the efficient - force at command. Anything .ke a bold and strong front, if put on from the first, would nave stopped the whole business, and more—much is more— that yet to come. So f ir as hey were called on to act, that Felice, mounted and foot, cannot -be praised too highly. Inspector Poster, and sub inspector Taylor deserve public t that 'ks. At the ri s k o f lif e an d li m b t h ey an d their small b and. were. seen making a lane wherever the mob was thickest and the fight hottest. If they sinned at all it' was certainly on the side of forbearance, and in the teeth of every provocation and peril you can imagine. Tardily enough the military were et - length called Out and p u t un d er ar ms.. Had this been' done at first, and the riot Retread, fithe whole outbreak would have beeaprevented, without the r in g of: a sin g l e s h ot. The principal part of the out eak took place at the Clarendon end of the township. Between here and Bath's Hotel -was one continued scene of riot aid confusion -for two mortal hours; during which time men rush( d for refuge - wherever, literally. speaking, a door was open.; .cartioads - of firewood were plundered to make. bludgeons of, private prernities and yards were ransacked in the search. after those who had managed to escape, and ever,obing went on as thOngh hell were let lobse. The fidlowing is a summary of news . qopted from `the Melbourne Prices' Current, and conveys a history of trading matters from the-27th of March to the 26th of April : • MEtasouttNE, 15th Anti], 1 856.—Since our last report by the Marco Polo, o n ;the 25th ultimo, this market has been steady. Our anticipatio n of a brisk trade with the interior has not .been realised.. Stocks on the gold fields are by no means l arge , b ut the dealers, neve r th e l ess, are not Making the usual extensive purchases. There has been more disposition of late to give them credit, but they do not seem disposed to lay in stocks. The principle articles at present sent up are heavy goods, snob as flour and sugar. This 'year, the storekeepers , seem to expect that the roads duringwinter will not be so bad as to intor rupt traffic, or to raise materially the rates of carriage. In almost every respect society and trade here is fast settlintilown to the constitution of;an.old settled country. There is at present scarcely any speculation, and every thing has assumed a . quiet and orderly aspect. I n a Month or t wo the people-'throughout the country will be busied with thaelvotions for the Upper and Lower Houses of Parliament under our new Constitution, but we do not anticipate that they will materially interfere with busi ness one' way or other. The chief 'matters of interest in this country; as connected: with the- future prospects of trade are the . following :-1. The great success recently of quartz crushing: this will be' appreciated on a CUm c, •mparison of the pr o d uc t s o f our gold fields in 156. as compared with those in a similar period in 1855. 2. The Progress of agriculture: this is making' such strides that it is expected Australia.will :fully supply her' population next year and go far t o meet demand in provisions gene rally and 'horse feed. 3. The vigorous prosecution of railways and the construction of public works. The sue cogs of the export - ditty 'on gold wilt 'have an important i influen ce i n reference to the public works. It s now evi dent:that.so long as quartz - crushing provesso productive. the : that wilt he p ossesse d of ample revenues, and public o pinion is st rong l y - f avourable to their being: expenet'd hi useful and reproductive works. The govern-, merit have recently purchased the stock and interest oft the ,Melbohrne Mount Alexander, and Murray River; Railway ! and intend to undertake the construction cf trunk rkilwaYs throughout the .countrV. Our only diffi: calty and barrier to.progress is the Want Of labour tor the iugs works, roads, railways, &c., now in numerous buildings progress or projected. We shall probably attract con sidersp supplies of labour from the neighbouring eolo nies ; i n d ee d,- Ow balane p of itnmtgration has for some considerably in favo r ur of this i t i s , self evident that this source of supply as regards then), been ty. But inadequate for our growing' and almost be totally • 'atilt! r 1 wands.'

' There has been 4 ery a-ral coin plai at of deficient a.d v ices having been received o ggoods uar S hipped between -the 9th of Jauaary and 17th y. , Prcm •this cause 'the famous run of the to al Jharter, in 59 'days, has had little effect on the irket, beyond conveying the general impression that goods are coming less freely lorward. In'consequence of advices of this nature, tnot articles are more firmly held , hat speculators are rimed,tii and there is a considerable ipargin bet wei , n the pof small lots from second hands, for Prompt delivery, and large parcels to arrive. The weather of late has been stormy and unsettled, and heavy of road metal 'ould tF SQ lo Y. • acting by THE rains have fallen. The storekeepers on the diggings are deferring making purchases in expectation that cartage will be lower. While holders have been firmer, we cannot report any general advance in prices. The following remarks ind:cate .the changes since our last. Liquoar , J-there is still little doing in brandy, and. we have a report of a sale of Martell's at 43;01 The advices from Sydney, however, report this article as very firm, and' these will doubtless have an effect on the market here.

The progress party were met at th e outset ' o f t he reat session with a great deal of factious opposition from the Constitutionalists, but I am happy to say, thanks to the fair, temperate, and conciliatoor policy of the Superintendent o ably car ried out by the Executive, an amalgamation has lately taken place, and all bawls seem heartily in earnest to advance the real interests of the province. Several very useful acts have been passed, viz. :—" A. Sheen Act," " Impounding Act," " Interpretatip Act," " Merchant Seamen's .Act and °thee; of an equally important character, are nearly through the ho.r.se. The new waste land regulations have not yet passed, and until they are finally agreed to, I will not trouble your readers with a sketch of their principle. The estimates have gone through the house merrily, and, notwithstanding the. _frequent assertions of some of the most rabid of the apposition,.of a want of 'confidence in the executive, all the money a;ked for has been voted. and even more. Truly, to entrust the , superintendent with large sums of • money, to be expended for the benefit of all,'' does not show any great lack of confidence in him. This is a great test, .and a sere 'one ; all the rest is " leather and prunella." The arrival of the Denny with Out an English mail has almost ceased to be a disappointment. It is a great pity that the post, office authoritiesin . Sydney do not detain the mail for the steamer. On this occasion it was put on board the schooner Sporting* Less, which has not yet arrived, although she sailed.Sourteen days before the Denny. It is time that another .steamer were on the line. • ROBBERY OF CURIOUS AND VALUABLE GOLD AND SILVER, COINS. At the Liverpool Police Court, yesterday, before Mr. Maxwell.

The female prisoner, who appeared-to be about seventeen years of age, was servant at Mr Bennett's, and the male prisoner keeps a beerhouse in Sk:llhorne-street. Froni the evidenc , i of Cozens one of th e detective officers,,and Inspec'or Horn, it appeared that Mr. Bennett's family left the house sntne time since for another locally, leaving the girl in care of the - place , . She stated t o th e police that she was afraid of being left alone, and went to her mother's from Saturday to Monday, havitig pre viously locked up all the place. On her rot tun she found the cabinet broken, and the coins •c-, . The izuinel of officers c-uld not find any external, marks o; violence . about the 'house, and concluded that :he gir: most he concerned in the robbery, and therefore th.l arrested her. Horn sound that the male prisoner had sold two parcels of the coins at Franklin's, in the Crescent ; one lot for £lO 15s, and the second for £3 7s 6d. These coins the officer recovered, and arrested Murray, who "uld not gi ve th e l east account of how he came by them. Mr. Bennett was exam i ne d, an d seeme d to f ee l deeply the loss of the valuable collection. which he said he bad been 24 years in making.

The market for foreign exchange was very firm, and the rates on Lon don were quoted at 110.. The cotton market was dull, and, with a small business, Sellers- had to submit to a decline of a quarter cent per pound.

The object was to raise a fund for the erecting. of a new church in eonnee. Lion with the synod of the Presbyterian chtirch in England, in that locality, a requirement which has hang been felt by the inhabitants, the present place of meeting (the Albert-rooms), not being at all sufficient in size to give the. neeessary accommodation to the congregation, and being totally unfit fora .permanent place of worship. In order to remedy the existing evils, some short time since the following gentlemen formed themselves into a committee for the purpose of-carrying out the object : Messrs. K. Liversilge, Boyd, senior, Boyd, junior, Brown, Barclay, Skel, Robin. son, Buchannan, Walker, Lamont, Sorley, Forest, and the Reverends Lundy and Henderson This 'committee soon raised, by subscriptions alone, th e sum of £6OO, and succeeded in obtaining a suitable site at the west end of King-street, the owner (Mr. Barton) giving 600 square yards of land, in addition to the 1,000 yards purchased. The intended edifice, which will be a handsome structure, will contain sittings for about - 600 persons. At present, no architect has been selected, but the Messrs. Hay, of Liverpool, have been requested by the committee to prepare the plan and designs, which, from the well known eminence of those gentlemee, there can be no doubt. but that the greatest satisfaction will he given to the eolunittee. The gentlemen of the district, haying thus taken the initiative, their exertions were speedik , respondA to by a large number of ladies, who resolved upon holding a bazaar, in order to aid and assist in defraying the expenses which such an undertaking must involve, and which it is contemplated, exclusive of the cost of the site of larul, will amount-to about £2,000. These ladies set to work in • g,cod earnest, and yesterday had the gritikettion of producing such a variety of articles. and in such numbers, as showed the anxiety they felt is the affair. The large room, which was most taste. filly decorated for the ecc , ,sion, and IPerally crammed with fancy and ornamental articles, needlework of, every kind, and many. other articles that were not only orna mental but. .exceedint!ly useful. Indeed,- we may say that the baza, r•eontained such an an-ay of articlel. executed with such taste, as hive rarely been surpassed if equalled in any similar exhibbion. The articles in the stalls were supplied by Mrs. Branch and family, Miss Wedgewoo4 and friends, Mrs. Browne and friends, Misa Leversidee, Miss Robinson. the two Miss Boyds, Miss Canhane, Miss Jones. Miss Kellack, Miss Henderson, Mrs. Drummond, Miss Campbell, and other ladies, most of the shove, how ever, rendered additional assistance by acting, on this, occasion, as the lady-shopkeepers.. Their nssi , ittity to ght rid of - their beautiful wares was beyond all praise; while the attention they paid to the purchasers made it all hut impossible for the inn t obdurate heart to resist emeh fair tepee err,. The.result was that good.saies were effected, and - notwithstandeig the inclemency of the weather at the early epart of •the :day, a considerable amount was added to the funds. Refreshments were served in an adjoining room. portion of Mr. Grihhip's baud was in attendance anti played some popular airs in the course of the day. Besides the ,etalls e 1 ladies, two, under the .petronage of Mr- " t. by ,he gberally supplied the n ce' •eshments, regular trodi-.rs were present, the profit ‘,l each artiel6. sold being p!aeed to, , the proceeds of the day. As the 'we -ther v. sterday was so exceedingly unpropitious, it has been resolved to keep the bazaar open this day ato to-mc)rrow, during which time, the fair, saleswomen wilt he , n attendance, and use their'sweetest smiles to induce otherg to purchase—the result of which, no (1011 1 ':", will be, that, all the articles, numerous and varied as they are, will find purchasers.

There were no marks on the casks, bit the coopers generally put or'. private marks, so that they know thorn. To Mr. Block : I should never have missed any casks but for the ;infirm. I did not sell any of the casks. We never can know the exact number of casks on 'board a ship in the African trade ;.1 know the casks are our property. I know of no other casks like them, but It is possib'e there were other ships -discharging oil near our vessel at the time:, They w: re not weighed at the George B iker, carter, stated that Noys engaged-him about three o'clock in the day, and sent him to the King's dock to take five casks of palm oil to the Isle of Man boat ; he met a man named Lloyd on the way, and wi:nessgave him the float to go for th' casks. To Mr. Block : I hal nothing 'at all to do with it, and knew nothing about the matter.. except by carting the oil back from the dock to the police office. John Lloyd, a cart ow:le-. said he met the last witnesf , , who sent him to the King's dock for five casks of palm oil. .1-Te went, and the prisoner Smith. helped hint to Intl th m, There was another man, who is not h re. an - i he :Tare witness the note, and he took the oil to the Isle I vlan boat, but subseitiently took them to the piiliee olive.
