By the receipt of later Australian &driers, rill Co-
lombo, we learn of the clearance from Melbourne, on
the 10th December, of the ship Emma, for Liver-
pool, with 41,000 ox. of gold on freight, worth about
164,0001. This vessel would, therefore, appear to
have been as much as 100 days at sea. The Admiral,
Statesman, Blackwell, and other vessels, may like-
wise be almost daily expected, the wind being now
favourable.

Owing to the continued demand for silver for
India, the amount of specie shipped on board the
Ava, which is to leave Southampton for Alexandria
today, is no lees than 411,0201. Of this only
7,3001. is in gold, the remaining 403,7201. consisting
entirely of silver. The particulars are subjoined,
viz. ; For Alexandria, gold, 2,6001. ; for Bombay,
silver, 219,6281. • for Ceylon, gold, 3,0001. ; for
Madras, gold, 1,7001.. and silver 30,320; and for
Calcutta, silver, 133,8721. This steamer takes no
direct mail for hins.

According to the advice. received per the overland
mail, the London news of the 10th of January had
only jut reached Bombay, and was momentarily
looked for at Calcutta. By the next mail, therefore,
we may expect intelligence as to the effect produced
are the Eastern markets by the submission of Rus-
sia, which was made known in London on the 17th
of January. At Bombay the money market re-
mained as tight u ever, and the exchange on London
was again rather higher. At Calcutta, however, the
market was easier, and the exchange had experi-
enced a decline.
From Liverpool is announced the failure of Maus.
Bohtlingk and Co. This firm wu largely engaged in
the recent extensive speculation for a rise in the price
of tallow. Their views have been overthrown by the
submission of Russia. As a result of the oollare of
this speculation, the tallow market has been visited
by &specie of panic.
Thecorn market yesterday was flat,and rather lower
in price as regards English wheat. The foreign
arrivals in London this week comprise 5,210 qrs. of
wheat, 7,796 qrs. of oats, and 5,650 barrels of flour.
The number of floating cargoes arrived at port of
call since Friday is 7 of wheat, 6 of Indian corn, and
1 of beans.

In Paris considerable speculative attention oonti-
nue to be directed to the formation of new companies.
One of the projects most recently announced is the
coal company of Saint Eugene (Saone-et-Loire) with
a capital of 100,0001. Anuther undertaking of some
importance is on the topti in connexion with the
docks and quays of the port of Marseilles.
The Board of Trade having assented to the return
of 31. per share out of the capital of the General
&crew Steam Shipping Company, the sum in question
will be receivable by the shareholders on Wednesday
or Thursday next.
We understand that Mr. John Greenwood, of the
Treasury, is a candidate for one of the vacant seats in
the direction of the Royal Mail Steam Packet
Company.
