Durant and Co. :

The periodical public sales commenced yesterday and arc
concluded. The quantity printed was about 1,000 bales
Bengal, 5,000 bolos Chins, and 1,000 bales Japan, with shoat
700 bales Canton silk. Unfortunately the proportion of
currently useable silk which the importers were disponi
to sell at market quotations was small, hence although there
a general disposition for business little was dons at the
sales. Large arrivals are just being landed—about 4,000
bales China with 500 bales J which attract consider-
able attention. Large partials of Japan silk have bees
sold duriiqg the week.
The ship Matilda Atbeling has been engaged fee
the conveymwe of passengers from England to
Melbourne.
