MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The following ig a report from Mr. W. Short upon
the Metal trade:—

" For rail iron there has been a considerable demand,
and business has been done up to 4/. 12s. 61 per ton,
below which price there are no sellers. Bars are in very
moderate demand, but the price is oonsiderably firmer.
Scotch Pigs are a shade lower in price. The efforts
made in Wales and Scotland to bring, about a reduction
of the make have, as yet, ended in no result, nor does
there seem much chance cf any such arrangement being
adopted at present. Copper is firm in price and in ft.ir
demand. Tin—English has been lowered in price
during the month, in all ss. per cwt. on block and bar,
and at 7s. per cwt. on refined. Foreign has been
influenced in a slight degree, and is now firm at our
quotations. Tin plates in very moderate request. Lead
has been in good demand, and prices are firm. Spelter
manondthl4,4 and
sg.
declined in price in the early part of the
business was done as low as ,141. 2s. 6d.,
It is now firm at our quotations. The stock on Ist inst.
was 10,044 tons against 8,680
tons at this period last
year."

The Augusta Schneider, chartered by the Port
Philip and Colonial Gold Mining Company, sailed from
Falmouth on Wednesday, with a largo staff of miners,
stores, &c. About 130 sat down to supper on Monday,
when all seemed much delighted, assured that every-
thing had been done for their comfort, and perfectly
satisfied with their future prospects. As evidence of
the care which has been taken we may state that three
of the directors tisited Falmouth to inspect the ship,
provisions, &c., previous to her departure. The party
were selected by Captain W. Richards, of Redruth, and
Mr. W. H. Ritchie has been appointed their superinten-
dent, and took out with him a large amount of sovereigns
to purchase gold with immediately on his arrival in th
colony of Victoria., ,
•
The Hamburgh letters of Friday last quote bills on
London rather in deinand at long date, but there was
a good supply of short paper.
There has been another arrival from Australia. The
dates are not later, but there are miscellaneous items of
interest from Port Philip. The following is a criticism
upon the speech of Governor La Trobe when the Le-
gislature opened:—
" The speech, we repeat, is a good and proper one.
Its several clauses will furnish matter for more pardon-
i n
tt the
n which House;
h a but
we
madver-
ted, particu-
lar consideration, when the measures which they re.
commend,
ayreniarkare that, under
in
all discussionthe
subjects
his Excellency manifests a disposition to promote
what are generally understood to be the true
of the colony. The justice of interests
of our
claim upon
upon the
Sydney Government, the amendment of
Act with especial reference to th the Postage
e abolition
of the tax on newspapers, the modification
of the Electoral Act, the supply
of
estimates, the revision of the tariff,
the labour, the
.
educa-
tion of the people, the administration of justice,
sodt
steps which the recent gold discoveriesmay render ite
necessary to take, in order Ito tarn them into a source
of good rather than evil—are, indeed, matters of grave
and stirring import; and all of them are so brought for-
ward in the several divisions of the speech, as to show
that the Government are fully alive to their real and
relative interests, and anxious that they shall meet with
an impartial, wise, and searching examination.
" From the different notices of motions which have
been already given by several members, it is sufficiently
evident that there is no intention of being idle; and the
motions themselves, from both sides of the House, indi-
cate a desire to advance the substantial welfare of the
colony.
The Portland Guardian contains the following para-
graph :—" The following intelligence has been communi.
cated to us by a private letter from Adelaide. It is from
a gentleman most likely to give correct information on
the subject, and can therefore be relied upon :—Tbe
most authentic discovery in gold yet made here is by
some German miners, on the borders of the province, in
your direction, probably the quartz country, at the head
of the Glenelg. The exact locality is not know,
Realised, the benefit will, of course,
flow more toPort-
land than to Adelaide."
