Victoria, where we are advised of the foll °will stations
having changed hands, namely, Langarin ar,td Pampiampa
ry statiou with about 10,000 sheep, ad 25,000 cattle, for
£36,000; Barham and Beremegad stations, with 16000
sheep alai 4,000 cattle, for £03,000 ; Toogombie station,-
with 4,00 Q head of cattle, at £8 per head; Mount Sturgeon
station, with 37,000 sheep and 5,000 eattle, for £70;000.
We have also to report sales of the following stations ba the
Northern dsstrict, namely; Tiereyboo, with 37,000 sheep. at
20s per head, supplies, &c., to be taken at a valuation.;.
Tarampa, with 17,000 sheep at 18s Gd, and 2,500 cattle. at
50s • Rosewnod, 11,500 sheep at Ils
FREIGHTa —Wool, td per Ib; in full ; hides, 20s to 251-
per ton ; tallow; 35s to 45s per ton; WI oil, 65s to 7755,
per ton ; cocoa nut oil, 40s to 50s per ton; gold, 2 per cent.
by sailing vessels,
_4,1 ditto by steamer.
EXCHANGE ON LONDON.—Bank, drafts, per cent. pre-
tuium at 60 days' sight; private, bills (with produce hypo—
thecated), 1 per cent. discount, if drawn against wool,.
tallow, or gold..

For bottled beers the inquiry is not sufficiently pressing to
influence quotations. The value of butter has considerably
improved, and 17d per lb. has been readily paid for prime
samples. Holders now hesitate to realise at this figure,
and it is believed that the price will range higher. Candles
have also been more readily disposed of, and Belmont
sperms have, in some directions, been placed at 15d. Bacon,
hams, and cheese command the outside limit of quotations.
In the markets for Eastern produce, teas are quoted at pre-
vious rates, and sugars are held for an advance. With
regard to• the latter import, there can be little doubt that,
by exercising ordinary prudence, holders will be enabled to
establish higher rates ; and we expect that the business of
the ensuing week will open with a rise in the price of all
descriptions of sugar. Rice has again receded in favour,
and rates are with difficulty retained at £lB to £l9
for Patna. No alteration worthy of notice hes been re-
ported in reference to the prices of flour. Advices from
South Australia have been rather more favourable, and
quotations at this port of Adelaide bratids vary from
£l7 lOs to £lB 105. Wheat is selling at 7s 4d to 7s 6d the
bushel. Bran is worth 2s. The grain trade has not been
active, and prices have ruled in favour of the buyer. Scotch
and Irish oats are worth from 4s 8d to 4s 10d ; Californian,
5s ; Calcutta, 4s 10d ; and colonial, 5s 6d to 5s 9d. Gram
is tolerably saleable at from £ll 2s 6d to £ll lOs per ton
and maize at 5s 6d. to 6s 9d per bushel. The wine and
spirit market is devoid of animation, and will probably
continue to be so until further intelligence is received
respecting the state of the home markets, and the intentions
of exporters. A parcel of United Vineyard brandy has
been sold by auction at from 7s to 7s 6d, but this sale has
not affected the value of other brands. In the export
market active business has been brought to a close, and
the greater portion of the sales in the market for wools
consist of fellmonger's slipe, scoured, and the
finishing of clips from a distance. According to
Messrs. R Goldsbrough and Co.'s latest reports :
The few decent flocks now offering command high prices.
Hides.—There is little doing ; prices nominal at our last
quotations, say, country dried hides, 6s to 7s 6d, and wet
salted, 9s to lls each. Sheepskins.— There is a good
inquiry both for shipment and town trade, at our last quo-
tations. Tallow. For this article there is a brisk demand,
at an advance on last week's rates. The market is very
bare of stock. Good mixed tallow is worth 40s to 435, and
mutton 50s to 52s per cwt. Capital is readily available for
the purposes of investment in the money market. The
rates on advances are still quoted at from 8 to 121 per
cent., but owing to the continued scarcity of first-class
securities, very few negotiations have been completed on
the terms first named. For sums under Ll,OOO the rates of
interest demanded vary from 10 to 121 per cent. A fair
average amount of business has been done in the share
market. Bank of Victoria' shares have changed hands at
prices varying from £33 lOs to £34, and Colonial Bank's
are now fully worth £6 2s 6d. Shares in the National
Bank of Australasia are erroneously quoted at 15 to 10 per
cent. discount—their lowest value being 5 per cent discount,
and the rates demanded by the majority of holders
being from 21 discount to par. We may observe,
in reference to the incorrect quotation to which
we have alluded, that a large number of shares upon
which no more than ten shillings have been paid uT
were 'placed upon the market for immediate sale, am.
disposed of at 15 per cent. discount on the amount of ten dot.,
shillings. Before the transfer of this stock could be effected, the arrangement
it was necessary for the purchasers to pay up the balance of strong, indeed, b
30s due on each share, with six months' interest at 10 per Home Governme

by cutting off the Indian allowances, a very difficult and
perhaps dangerous expedient. There remain the three
native armies, officially reported to comprise 243,000 men.
Even this enormous number does not represent the full
truth. The 8)000 military police in Bengal are not included
in it, nor the 22,000 military police just sanctioned for
Madras- These men are Sepoys as to everything but duties,
and are an addition to the regular native army they
ought to supersede. Omitting Bengal Proper, which wants
no troops beyond three regiments of Europeans, there are
60 counties to be protected ; 1,000 men for each county
wid, it is officially reported by the Madras Government,
suffice to keep internal order. There are no external foes,
except one or two native Powers - the Nizam, the King of
Burmah, and the tribes beyond the passes. Allowing
60,000 more Sepovs for these three objects, we have 120,000
native troops_ If this view is correct the native army is in
excess of our permanent requirements by 120,000 men,
costing in pay £2,250,000, and in the European force
necessary to watch them, keep them faithful, and kill them
when they mutiny, as much more. Still I repeat, no im-
portant reduction• will be made without peremptory orders
from England. All luxuries are necessar►es while we are
accustomed to them ; and the Presidency Governments will
declare it impossible to reduce their establishments. They
must be cut down peremptorily at first, and raised afterwards,
should experience show more natives are indispensable.

AMERICA.
ARRIVAL OF THE JURA.
The screw-steamer Jura arrived here last night,
with later news from the United States. She brings
$862,947 in specie, and 20 passengers. The Niagara
arrived at Halifax on the 4th inst. The news is
one day later, but does not possess much importance.
The United States government awaits more definite
information from Utah before taking action in rela-
tion to the troubles now existing there. It is
believed that Governor Cumming will be sus-
tained, his conduct being regarded as wise and
conciliatory.
The Canadian Parliament was prorogued on the
4th inst. The Governor-General's speech on the
occasion was made up principally of congratulations
on the amount and character of the business accom-
plished. He states that the income of the Province
for the first quarter of the current year shows signs
of the revival of trade, as well as an increase of

resources.
Havannah advices to the 2nd instant have reached
us, by the way of New Orleans. The news is unim-
portant. Sugar is quoted dull. The stock on hand
was 296,000 boxes.
General Henningsen announces, in a letter to a
Georgia paper, that he and several of his friends
have withdrawn from the Arizona Expedition first
formed, and have entered into a new compact,
associatinu, themselves under the title of "Hennin ff-
sen's Arizona Emigration Association." The
members of this company are to rendezvous in
Georgia during the month of July.
The Os erland California Mail brings us intelli-
gence of another desperate fight with the Indians
on the Colorado River. A party of forty men,
under Mr. Bishop, on their way to join Lieutenant
Beale's surveying expedition, were attacked on
the 20th of March, by a party of six or seven
hundred Mohaves, Yumas and Pah Utes. The
fight lasted three hours, during which a great
number of the Indians were killed. The loss of
the whites is not stated. Mr. Bishop's party re-
tieated towards Fort Tejon, and sent to Colonel
Hoffman for assista'lce, which was expected soon to
reach them. An attack was to be made on the
Mohave villages. The attack was altogether un-
expected, as the party had received full permission
to pass through the Indian country. The California
news by this mail is three days later, but is wholly
unimportant-
Late accounts from the Sandwich Islands state
that the British Consul General and other English-
men were about to erect a marble monument to mark
the spot where Captain Cook, the renowned navi-
gator and discoverer of the islands, was murdered by
the savage natives.
The Quaker City has arrived at New Orleans with
Havannah advicesto the 2nd instant, but they contain
no news of general interest. The sugar market
continued dull, with a stock of 296,000 boxes on
hand

cent., so that it will bC reauity perceives Tun llle aoLuui
price at which these shares were bought was, on the com-
pletion of the transaction, increasedto par. In consequence
of the numerous fires which have recently taken place, the
shares in the local insurance companies have been disposed
of at reduced quotations. A decided reaction has, however,
set in, and the market for insurance companies' shares is
gradually recovering its tone. Australasian have changed
hands at 21s to 22s 6d, and are now worth 23s ; Melbourne
are quoted at par ; and Colonial are held for 30s. Sales of
Gas and Coke Companys have been effected at 36 to 374-
premium, and holders are now asking 40 per cent. [lob-
son's Bay Railways have been done at £73 10s, and cannot
be purchased at less than £74. Bendigo Water Works
have been bought at par, but cannot now be purchased at
that price, or at a lower rate than 23g.
