VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.

SYDNEY, Oar. 12, 1653.
The steam-ship Tasmania arrived this morning at
daylight from Hobart Town, by which we have dates
to the 7th instant, and se the Walter Hood is just
about to sail from Sydney for Loaders, you will have
much later dates from the sister Wand by this op-
portunity than by any other conveyance.
The select committee appointed to on a
form of constitution for Van Disuses 's Lendrejpoet_ , have
brought up a purees report, in which they recom-
mend the establishment of a legislative council of
18 members, and a house of sasembly of 38 members
to be called the "Parliament of Tasmania." The
upper chamber, it is recommended, to be
purely elective, by a freehold franchise of
261. annual value. The whole colony being
declared one electoral district for such purpose. The
report says that the committee " believe that great
alarm has been caused in New South Wales by the
proposal to create an upper nominated house; anal
they feel assured that a similar feeling," if a like pro-
were made, would pervade the community of
rat Diemen's Land.
The 'Tasmania is the first boat in opening a line of
steam communication between Hobart Town and
Sydney.

SYDNEY GOLD CIRCULARS.

Notwithstanding the immediate departure of the Walter
Hood, there has been en evident disinclination to purchase
gold at last week's quotations, and prices have consequently
receded particularly Port Phillip samples, which continue
to Do looked at with suspicion ; recent rates have been ruling
too high here, and en the diggings, and panics must be
prepared to submit to a decline, the margin now left fee ex-
porters offering but little inducement for them to act.
The quantity down by escort this week shows the work
is going on steadily, sad holds foeth good prospects fee the
summer. At the Ovens great things ate expected, though
at present almost at a stand still on account of the water :
the diggers now in Sydney from that district are very san-
guine, and generally iat•nd making their way back about
Christmas, at which time the fine weather may be said
fairly to set in.

By the Au Packer advice, bare arrived of new diggings
at Smythe's Creek, balf•wey between Mount Businyong
and Mount Ewa, in the Ballarat district: this hes been
partially worked before, but the present yield surpasses
anything done at that time—u much as 48 ounces taken
'out is three days, and report speaks very highly of the
