AUSTRALIA.

We have received files of papers froen Melbourne 1
up to the date of Oct. 16. The Melborries Herald
of that day oontaina the following summary :
Our summary, on this occasion, will aseaserily be ,
lees copious than natal; from the fact that the
European arrived only yestentay front Sass, which
compels us to fill a large space with the intel-
ligence from Europe and from India. From Ceylon
we have received much later sews asseeraig Aida*
affairs than we could from the English papers ; and all that
we need to say is--that the people of the Australian colonies
take the most profound interest in the struggle of the
mother country% prow% her Indian empire. That syn.
%thy is not confined to welds rely, lir the greatest agar-
awe has been mound to do wasething towards the Whin-
anoe of the object, in may reasonable manner that ass be
pointed out. A requisition has come down for the supply of
horses for the Indian army, sad great promptitude, end eves
estkeeleant, has been displayed =tong the large stockholders,
belt et We whey and New South Weise, to comply with
the wourel. The seal of our colonists has gone beyond this,
and It Ina been mid that there would be no difficulty even In

fitable impleywiset either in tows or weatry.
The Land Bill, Introduced by the government at the.itssii-
gation at the emwttres, and which gave rise to the meat
vehement contention ever keown In a colonial legislature,
after having been puled by the Legislative Assembly, has
been thrown out, on the second reading, by the Legisla-
tes Council, and that by a majority so large (21 to 6) ea to
lavejustilled all the hostility we %pressed against it. The
soregawas is that the old trepidation, for the sole and oo-
oepatka of land, still remain is force. Of course, a sew land
will be required; but our Mends in England may rest
astrwal that, while it most, in order to gin satlsteMen to
the maple, be one that will give the greatest prestige facility
le loos Wistotat, It will not be one that will violate, in
coq partienbr—stal less in any eeeential principle—either

A bugs pepsetke of the liberal party in alb colony has
been griewesly slimppointed by ths rejection of • bill for the
Arabs elf the State Aid to Batlike. It pseud the Lower
House; bat we rejected in the Upper Howe, by a small
majority. The bill was not, however, to eke effect for three
years from the pawing of it; and no erre of parliament la
likely to terminate, without renewed efforts to aoornplish
the object, of making religke star* independent of • pat-
inas/story endowment.
A bill to provide for the education of tha people has been
introduced by the Attorney-Gauen& It is founded upon the
principles adopted in the New England States and in Canada,
and there seems • reasonable probability that It will meet
with some support.
Last of all—we may median the Eletotal Act Amood-
mint B 111—• bill introduced by Mr. Hotness government,
at the commencement of the session, and which—while it
allows the non-reident freeholder to rota, and even gives
undae facilities for the creation of fictitious faggot vote—
dreg, et the same thee, confer the franchise on every adult
male who can read and writs and is sot labouring under any
legal Incapacity. The bill has pared the Lower House
almost umennosuly ; end it is confidently believed that ft
will be passed by the hearties council, and become the
basis of • traly liberal represteretion of the people.
The Melbourne Argus of Oct. 16 gives the fol-
lowing intelligence from the various mining
districts :
The reports from all the gold-gelds are highly sadidactory.

some parties bus mot with bare remuneration for the labour

Some good parcels lave been obtained at Mount Sarong
from the alluvial workings at Baker's Gully, Potter's
Hill, and Italian Point. Nothing new has reached town
from Budigo end the Whip-stick. Great excitement we
caused early in the week at the prospect of the rich surlier-
one lands at the junction of the Campeepe end Coliben being
offered for sale by the mown at auction; but this was
speedily allayed by the withdrawal of the lands on the re-
monstrances of the diggers arriving at head quarters.

old ground on the Two Mile Creek is being worked for the
third time and is paying. The bite of the old
Chinese encampment he been " rushed, " and
the whole of the ground taken up. It is pro-
posed to thorciaghly test the working in Bowman's-forest by
a paid prospecting party. If this design can be practically
cured out without leading to the putting forth of fictitious
claims, it will set an example of economising labour, which
is now too often entirely thrown away round about new
leads. The Omeo diggings, without being rich enough to
attract population, ere yielding employment and fair wage
to those who have settled down there. On the Nicholson
and Livingstoos Hirers parties are at work sluicing, and '
are doing well. Quarts-reds have been struck in both these
localities, but the accounts of them do not give promise of
their turning out very rich.
The Melbourne Argue reports in its commercial
summary :
The money market has been kept in en unquiet state by
the discussions on the reilwsy finance scheme in the legis-
lature. Beyond this there is little to report in the money
market. The bills falling due on the 3rd were well met, and,
as usual, a quiet week has follows& There is still a larger
demand for discounts than the banks ere willing to respond
to, and speculation is thereby checked. The enormous values
of the stocks of Imported goods piled up in the stores, and
the ooatinned influx of cargoes, will render the market
heavy until the latter shows genuine signs of a mesatlon.
For money on mortgage there Is a full dsmod,
which is immediately met in all owe where the pee-
party is well situated, and the margin ample, at from 8 to
10 per cent. The banks charge 7 per out. for discounting
bills having under 95 days' currency, and 8 per cent. mini-
mum for those having over 95 days to run. For renewals
and for overdrawn accounts, 10 per cut. is charged.
Since the alteration in the =nee of the exchange on
England to sixty days instead of thirty, without an equiva-
lent alteration in the rate, there have been manifestations on
the part of the large hour of discontent, and large psr-
oda of gold have been shipped by them as remittances. This
has led to • alight modification by the banks. The rates at
which drafts are now issued ere 4 per cent. premium at 60
days' right; for amounts ender 601., at 2 per cent. premium,
at BO days sight. Bills 'pest gold are purchased at 1
per cent. premium. Freight on gold by direct steamers or
riling verde, lid. per ounce, deliverable In London; b-
rumes per cent. By the Overland route, per cent.,
that is, 7d. per ounce, ea nearly it passible ; insurance 1 to
li per cent.
There is very little new to report cc the state of trade
end comments at this port. Stocks are far too heavy, end
shipments still in excess. The spriog scorn hes not yet
fairly set in, but the caution with which country buyers are
