COMMERCIAL The returns of gold by escort from the various gold fields up to September 10, of the present year, were 1,555,835 oz., and those of 1858, for the same period, were 1,631,934 oz. 16 dwt. The total quantity of gold brought down to Mel bourne by escort since the opening of the gold-fields, in 1851, is estimated at 16,651,107 oz. The returns dur ing the current year have, as will be seen by the above statement, exhibited hitherto a considerable falling-off, as compared with the corresponding months of the pre vious year. The highest returns for any vear were in 1856, when the escorts amounted to 2;625;968 oz. In 1857 the quantity was 2,481,020 oz. ; and Abe returns onR r--- 9 27 1,268 oz. for it— ,VCre Since the date of our last summary the following. extra-colonial vessels conveying gold have sailed from Robson's Bay : &hate, to SllO2 . . . . 7,laz Red Rover, to Hong-Kong . . 6,716 Royal Charter, to Liverpool .

The shipments of gold during the first eight months of the current year have been as follows, fractional parts being omitted : —January,_. 199,068 ounces; February, 189,275 do. ; March, 203 , 590 do. ; April, 188,973 do. ; May, 170,133 do. ; June, 239,533 do. ; July, 178,944 do. ; August, 213,368 do. As compared with the shipments of gold during the corresponding months of 1858 there has been a decrease similar to that which we have remarked as exhibited in the escort return's. The largest quantity exported in R 11 1 .0116 year was 1856, when the shipments amounted to 3,003,811 ounces. In the following year the amount declined to 2,729,655 ounces ; and in 1858, there was less gold exported than three years previously, the amount being in 1855, 2,576,745 ounces ; and in 1858, 2,536,983 ounces. According to present appearance, the export this year will exhibit a still further. decline. The total quantity of gold exported from the opening of the gold fields to the end of August, 1859, is 19,192,629 ounces 8 dwt. 15 grs. In the general money market, capital is reported as still available at 8 per cent. for sums of £l,OOO and upwards, on approved mortgages. For smaller sums from 10 to 15 per cent. is obtained. Since the arrival of the July English mail, the banks have lowered the rates of exchange on London to 11 per cent. on bills at 60 days. Freiiht on gold by sailing vessels is from 21d. to 3d. per ounce, deliverable in London ; insurance 11 per cent. In the stock and share market, diking the past month, the introduction of a large number of new mining companies has been the most prominent feature. These projects have, in some cases, been of an unques tionably reliable character, but in others they have rested upon mere conjecture and the vaguest specula tion. • V ---• Things have now assumed a quieter tone, and the merits of the numerous companies recently formed, already pre senting a list of about 60, are now carefully examined and weighed. The total amount of imports for the first eight months of the current year is £10,221,834, against £8,513,417 for the same period of 1858, showing an increase of £1,708,387.

THE ADVENT OF Two NEW ACTORS AND THE RE TIREMENT OF AN OLD ONE.—It is rumoured that a Mr. Betterton, a, descendant of the Betterton, and a pupil of Mr. Young, is about to try his fortune on the stage ; and it is further reported that a Mr. Mason, a relative of Mr. Charles Kemble, will shortly quit the pulpit and assume the sock and buskin. Rumour also states that Mr. T. P. Cooke has resolved on g iving six farewell performances, and that they are to be genuine "final" ones. T/IE BunnEns' STRIKE.—It is now the thirteenth week of the lock-out, and the fifteenth of the strike at Messrs. Trollope's, and we deeply reg ret to state that a satisfactory settlement of the pro tracted struggle ap pears as far removed as ever. The masons have re opened negotiations with the employers, and have agreed to abandon the strike at Trollope's, upon the understand in that the master builders unconditionally withdraw the document from the whole of the building trades. The proposition will be taken into consideration at the masters' meeting to-morrow. In consequence of the resolution agreed to by the masons an aggregate meeting of the bricklayers of London was held to take the matter into consideration. The assemblage was unanimous in their resolve to resist the document to the utmost ; and they determined never to resign the hope that the nine hours' movement would be carried to a successful issue. They at the same time expressed their confidence in the Conference, and intimated an intention to assist in carrying out any resolve which might emanate from that body on the general question. Mr. Jay's men remain at work until certain propositions from the Con ference are submitted to their masters ; but the work men who left Mr. Moron, when they found the document had not been withdrawn, are still out. The Conference held a meeting on Friday night, when, after some discussion, the further consideration of a very important proposition wds postponed to Wednesday evening next, when the Conference will again hold a general meeting.

Annois, who was convicted of the murder of the captain of his ship at the late session of the Central Criminal Court, and left for execution. In the first instance, it will be recollected, the defence of the prisoner was taken up by the Portu guese consul, but since the conviction the ambassador from the kingdom of Portugal, upon a full statement of all the facts connected with the melancholy case, ap pears to have felt it his duty . to interfere, and he has had an interview, through the introduction of Lord John Russell, with the Home Secretary, in reference to the prisoner, and it is understood that an urgent application has been made to the Government to spare the life of the unhappy prisoner on the ground that he was not responsible for his actions at the time the act for which he is sentenced to die was committed. There seems to very reasonable grounds, and certainly much stronger ones than have prevailed in similar cases within . a recent period, for entertaining such an opinion, as, in the first place, there appeared upon the evidence of the 'trial an utter absence of motive for the crime, the unfortunate deceased_ being proved to have behaved with great kindness towards the prisoner, and to 'have never given him the slightest cause for anger or ill-will. The defence set rip for the prisoner, as will be remembered, was insanity, and the trial was postponed from the September to the October session in order to afford an opportunity for the pro duction of evidence from Lisbon 'and 'Rio de Janeiro that the prisoner had been confined as a lunatic in the hospitals at both those places. The necessary com munications were promptly made through the Portuguese embassy, but the answers only went to' show that the prisoner had been treated for the yellow fever. It would seem, however, from information that has been subsequently obtained, that there has been some mis take in the date proved by the prisoner, and that he really suffered from a severe attack of yellow fever at Lis bon, in 1857, and that his intellect was seriously affected by that attack, and that he was subsequently treated as a lunatic. Ever since •he has been under the cognisance of the authorities, he has always conducted himself in a most mild and inoffensive man ner. The prisoner himself seems to look upon the fatal affair as a sort 'of dream, and the only way in which he accounts for his wild conduct is, that'he had drank an extra allowance of grog with his shipmates, and that this rendered him frantic, and he did not know what he was about. At present the day of execution stands fixed for Monday, the 14th instant ; but a very strong impression prevails in the minds of the officials of the gaol that, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, the life of the prisoner will be spared. for the eA 4 in reference -to amend the bill to to judges of. the.

A 1 bill ;overed from the decline noticed in our last The news by th Emu of peace and the advance that has taken place ir. English and other securities have also tended to strengther the tone of the market, and induced capitalists to invest pretty freely. The fluctuations that have taken placE have, in some instances, been considerable. The quantity of gold dust imported into the Sydney branch of the ,Royal Mint for the purpose of coinage; from the Ist of January to the 9th of September, has been 207,033 ounces. The amount of gold coin issued buring the same period has been 555,000 sovereigns, and 321,000 half..sovereigns—total value, £720,500. During the same period of 1858 the amount of gold dust received for coinage was :139,124 ounces, and the amount of coin issued, 705,500 sovereigns, and 486,000 half-sovereigns --total, £048;000. ____ -The amountof gold dust received by the escorts from our several gold-fields during the month of August was 26.834 ounces.

There is no improvement in the demand for oats. HOLLOWAY'S Purs.---Headache, dyspepsia, sick headache. During the late months of the year, these complaints abound, partly arising from the foggy, impure ntate of the atmosphere, partly from alteration of temperature, and disinclination for exercise. Physicians class headached under six divisions, each division requiring different treatment. Their decision on the description of headaches determines the prescription. In ignorance of the immediate cause of any disease, how fre quently must their judgment err, and their treatment mis carry. Pure blood casts out every disease, and Holloway's Pills purify that fluid, however vitiated or enfeebled, and dispel all head affections, come whence they may. 47 ENGLAND AND HMI COLONIDs OF OTTE MIND.--It is wonder ful with what celerity and certainty the benefits of a great discovery originating in England are communicated to our possessions in all parts of the world. As the pulsations of the • heart send the stream of life through every fibre of the frame, so does each beneficial development in science, emanating from British genius and skill, disseminate its blessings through out the whole British Empire. The general use in all our colonies of Holloway's celebrated medicines, is a striking illustration of this fact. Starting, twenty-five years ago, from the great centre, with the sanction of the home millions as their credentials, they have found their way into the remotest sections of that vast colonial circle upon which the sun never sets. The axiom that greatness does not receive due honour in its own country, fails in the case of Thomas Holloway. His new and simple, yet rapid and effective remedies, were tho roughly appreciated at the outset by the people of England of every class, and foreign ex pe r ience has merely confirmed the verdict of the British public. The Canadas, the least remote echo They thea appear p e ar laudations to a y e of our important transatlantic possessions, were the first to displaced bestowed theupon in ineffective tve preparationspresarprescription here. a n o f the provincial pharmacomia with singular dispatch.

This transatlantic source of supply has afforded facilities for the prompt execution of orders, of which Canadians have not been slow to avail themselves ; and it is said that the statistics of medicine for the last century exhibit nothing so remarkable as the rapid increase in the demand for Holloway's remedies during the last four years.

It is now contemplated to send out six clergymen with a bishop at their head, to be consecrated either in this country or by the three bishops of Southern Africa, and also to dispatch, at the same time, a medical practitioner, and a number of artificers and labourers, with a view especially to the cultivation of cotton. The cost of establishing such a mission is estimated at £20,000, and it is also calculated that subscriptions to the amount of £2,000 per annum will be required for five years, after which time it is calculated that the work will become self-supporting. Communications are to be opened at once with the clergy and friends of the missions generally, and also with the great centres of manufacture mid commerce, for the pur pose of raising the required funds. The Bishop of Oxford has requested the Yen. Archdeacon Mackenzie (of Pieter-Maritzburg, in the colony of Natal) to head the mission, and the rev. gentleman will probably do so, as he has for some time been carrying on I work in Natal without fee or reward.

The defendant why that he had sold the umbrella, but_ said it was for want and after it had been with him several months.—The magistrates decided that he should pay but, on it being represented that he was receiving aid from the parish, Mr. Atkins said he would be perfectly satisfied with an apology, which defendant immediately tendered. Before dismissing 'the defendant, Mr. Gl. _ _ itkins 8 stone advised him to burn the ticket, as it was an illegal document. , It would be very convenient, he said, if we could make laws for ourselves, but this we were not allowed to do, and it became s to obey the law of the COUNTY COURT.--YESTERDAY (Before J. K. 13LAiu, Esq., Judge.) iRMSTRONG v. M'BRID —This was an action for £5 . 1.. 3d., the value of a ton of greaves sold by the plaintiff to the defendant. The plaintiff is a provision dealer and curer, in Lurgan, Ireland, and the defendant a tallow melter, in Richmond-row, in this town. In September last Mr. Burnley, traveller for Mr. Armstrong, called, upon Mr. - I,l‘l3ride, and produced a sample of gi eaves, and offered to'supply him with any quantity at £5 per ton. The defendant asked Burnley if the quality was as good as, a cake he produced, and Burnley answered that the goods he was selling were as good, and better in colon On this representation the defendant ordered a ton, and on the 27th of September they were delivered at his Warehoase. The defendant examined them, and found that they were not equal to sample—in fact that the greaves were utterly useless. He at once wrote to Mr. Burnley and told him of the quality of the goods, said he would not pay him, and asked him to take the greaves away. This was, not done ; and Mr. M‘Bride refusing to pay for them, the present action was brought. Mr. Burnley, who was the first witness called, said that the greaves, when shipped at Belfast, were equal to the sample ; that they had received damage from sea water on the passage, and that the plaintiff having shipped them in a proper state, was not respon sible for the sea voyage. He (witness) sold the greaves to defendant for the purpose of feeding pigs, dogs, &c. Mr. M'Bridc, the defendant, said that ho had been a tallow melter for the last twenty-one years. He was also 'a manufacturer and dealer in greaves. On the 14th of September, Mr. Burnley came to him and represented himielf as agent for Mr. Armstrong. He said that the price of the greaves was £5 per ton. He (witness) asked Burnley if ' the goods were of a good quality, and he replied in the affirmative, He showed Burnley a cake of his own manufacture, and asked him if the grcaves were as good in quality and colour as that produced. Burnley replied that they were, and he (the defendant) ordered a ton. The greaves came—he looked at them, and found that they were utterly worthless ; in fact, complete rubbish. He wrote immediately to Burnley, apprising him of the fact, that the greaves were not good, and not equal to sample. Mr. Burnley took no notice of the matter, and the greaves were still in his (defendant's) warehouse. They are utterly worthless ; and they could not be injured by salt water.—A number of witnesses were called to prove that the goods were utterly useless, and his honour de cided in favour of the defendant.
