It will be observed that there tea considerable falling off
this year, both in the reesipte and shipments, as cemparedl
with 1868. Otte cause =Wiped for this diminution is the
decrease in the number of diggers actually at work, is eon-
**queues of the great demaad for labour in the early part
of the year for the various industrial operations, both in
town and country. Aaother eases, of worse, is the compa-
rative exhaustion of the precious metal in such of the alluvial
drifts as have yet been discovered. The attention of the whole
mining interest is now earnestly directed to the subject of
regular mining in the quartz lodes which abound in the
gold districts, and to the beet means of crushing the quarts
and extracting the gold, of which it is found that the ranks
contain a very large proportim. As already mentioned,
several machines have been invented or improved, and
patents are issued Ow them. Of a description so pa-
tented one Gres alsua milks six machines. In addition
to the above, exteadoe olden have been given for the
Berdea machine, whisk is believed to be the moat powerful
of them all. The ilrd machine at Ballarat worked by
deem power will be is operation In the course of a week
or two. la oar next summary we expect to be enabled to
state the arse malts of this new system of operations, of
which very great bops, are entertained.

lixixouswit, Nov. 24.
Our last was dated Sept. 23, since when we have experi-
weld a continued depreetion and succsesion of couitasisial
dinners equalled only by the panic of 1843. The number
efluselvent, Neu lst January to the 20th November was
1118, with schedule liabilities tithe intent of 800,0001 bat
'aridity much larger; and in this number so note is :when
dine parsons who have lied the country, taking with
than large • use of ready cash, and leaving tionsidsrahls lia-
bilities. Besides the shove we have had several important
onspennises, the estates being tarried on seder trust, sad
than ones et schwa of traders who were considered even
and who enjoyed the unlimited confidence
at the trade. Oar imports conthine excessive, the
MINIM will exceed 16,000,0001. • but it is cm-
liestly expired that the maims witwitats sent
bine minas Jude will deter the shippers on your
side seeding any Wog exeept direct to order. The chases
shippers Irow all the countries of the world have destroyed
this market; the glut of unsuitable nwrekandise which las
be. fore.d by auction has brought down the pries of legi-
tint•ts artiel.4, amid the depation of stook has sensed
wide spread ruin. The pines has became a city of &nation-
marts, and from were you can buy • cargo at a time, you
our greduste until you can positively try on year snail
clothes and 'hen buy thew by auction. To the regular
Wader this is damaging in the extreme, and the respective
positions of merchant and dealer are for the time destroyed.
