[ PRICE 4D. STAMPED

A ITSTRALIA.

The Melbourne. Argus of June 23 says :
During the five days that have .transpired sit ace
our last weekly summary of the Markets there I oas
been but little doing. The low rates of cartage to
the diggings, however, still continue, and a etin-
tinueus, although, not a.large, trade is kept up in
consequence with the interior. • • .
Breadstuffi—The. flour market has been _ alto-
gether unsettled) and prices have risen consider-
ably. One.holder has sprung up 71. per ton in his
demands for Ohilian, and 3/. per ton on all descrip-
tions. 'Wheat has also changed handS for seed at
the 'enormous price of 245. per 'b,usheld It is be-
lieved that the effect of this rise will be to induce
the neiglibburing colonies to realise oil their stocks,
and to abide with us the aufiplitt ',which are ex-
.
petted.
Coffee—There has been a demand for good Ceylon-
plantation; and 'a rise of ld.' per • lb,i) has taken
place, at which sales have been effected.
Sugars—Are saleable, and large transactions
have taken place at our quotations., There is no
Java in the market.
Tobacco—The market is firm for Negrohead and
Barratt's. Hay' annah cigars are in better demand.
The Melbourne' 4rgus, of June 20, reports the
gold market dull, . and the buying price of the
metal, 31. 17s. per oz. ; but the same paper states
the yield: is steady. .
'M'Connell's Gold Circular, of June 8, says :
I " There is no alteratiOn in the price of gold dust
this week: The market hes been very dull,
scarcely any having been offered for sale." 7

formation which has just come to hand I fear that
we are on the eve of serious disturbances in this
district. lam not in possession of the facts Of the
case further than that considerable ill-feeling has
manifested itself between the Irish and other
miners on the Amherst and Daisy-hill gold field,
and that, by latest. accounts the Irish portion of
the community there had had notice given to them
to leave that neighbourhood .within 24: hours, or
be driven off. Some disputes as to claims appear
to be at the bottom of the affair. Be that as it
may, several expresses have arrived here from
Daisy-hill, giving accounts which have excited the
Irish population here as well. The Austra-
lian Kuow-Nothingism is among the other
signs of the times, and may yet command more
attention than is supposed. lam sorry to say
that the Chinese are still persecuted here.
During the coming in of a large number of
these people a few days ago the dogs were set on
them, and in one case a savage bulldog tore the
clothes from off a Chinainan's back, and, as may be
supposed, frightened the man considerably. .Mr.
Commissioner Mackenzie, when informed of the
occurrence, very properly interfered, but too late
to save the man from, being ill-used in the first
place."
The Melbourne Age of June 23 says :—" On the
whole, however, notwithstanding the alarming ac-,
counts we have received, we are not disposed to
entertain serious apprehensions from the move-
ments at Maryborough. We have sufficient confi-
dence in the diggers that their good sense—that is
to say, their c iminon sense—will not allow the.
quarrel to be carried the length of actual bloodshed.
Our correspondent concludes his letter yesterday
by stating that all was quiet when ho wrote, and
we trust things will continue so. Ever so little
reflection would suffice to show the intelligent men
of Maryborough the madness of permitting this
absurd business.to go any further. The mutual
• protection societies had undertaken to mediate be-
tween the contending parties, and we should hope
they would be successful. The meansof.quelling
the disturbance, namely, by observing strict neu-
trality and treating factious differences with quiet
scorn, are .very easily applied, and °wild hardly fail
of success. We shall see : but if the case turnout
otherwise—if these disturbances swell up into a
civil war—it will be the worst thing for the entire
diggings community that could possibly have hap-
pened."
