TURKEY.
THE TURCO-EGYPTIAN QUESTION.
Letters have been received from Malta to the sth
of April, announcing the dispatch that day for Mar-
seilles, by Admiral Dundas, of her MAJESTY'S steam-
frigate Growler, which arrived only the day preced-
ing, in five days from Constantinople, bearer of im-
portant dispatches for Lord MALMESBUUY from Sir S.
CANNING. These are reported to relate to the vexa-
tious differences between the SULTAN and the Viceroy'
or Pacha of EGYPT, differences which threaten a rup-
ture, for which both sides are making extensive war-
like preparations.

The Teineswar, a
Hungarian journal, quotes cor-
respondence from Mecca, from which it appears that
the rebel Wechabites have beaten the SULTAN'S
troops, taken possession of the Holy City, and are
threatening Syria. It was said that the Viceroy of
EGYPT supports them in order to embarrass the SUL-
TAN. The GRAND VIZIER, according to the same au-
thority, has forbidden any mention of this state of
things being made in the official paper, lest the news
of the loss of the Holy City should cause too great an
agitation among the people.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales; the market closed
steadily. The sales comprised 150 Pernam and Maran-
ham, at 5-k3. to 6fd.; 50 Bahia, at WI.; 300 Egyptian,
at 64d. to 7d.; 500 Surat, at 30. to 43d.; 80 Sea Island,
at ls. lid. to ls. 4d.; and the remainder American.—
Railway Shares were firm at advanced prices.
The present seems to he a period when, beyond
all others, attention should be called to the position
and prospects of our Australian colonies, and especially
with reference to the urgent want of labour. Societies,
in their small sphere, are doing all that is possible to
encourage the emigration of particular classes, and the
exertions of Mrs. Chisholm on behalf of distressed
females are patent to all, but voluntary emigration on
a much larger scale is desirable. Mr. King, the delegate
from Victoria, furnishes some useful and perfectly re-
liable information, part of which we subjoin :
" It may possibly be known to most of your readers
that in the district of Port Philip, now erected into a
separate and independent colony of the British Crown,
under the royal name of ' Victoria,' the labour market
has for many years been very inadequately supplied, and
the consequence has been that the rates of wages ordi-
narily given to the working classes in the colony very
far exceed those paid for the like description of labour
in England.
" Having been sent to Britain by my fellow-colonists
to represent their interests on certain questions of vital
importance to their well-being, and among the rest, in
reference to the promotion of a Copious emigration from
the mother country to their shores, I deemed it my duty
in conjunction with some other friends of the colony,
who chanced to be in London at the time, to urge upon
her Majesty's Government the necessity of endeavouring
to avert the ruin with which the industrial interests of
the colony were threatened by pouring in a sufficiently
large number of free emigrant labourers, to supply the
place of those who had deserted their employment for
the gold mines. It was particularly pointed out to the Government that more than one-half of all the wool
colonies,im-
toofiowahoiicithy
and Victoria
quality, ranks
ai thed th a t highest,the
e extinction
iobothet i
oi
on
ported into Britain was supplied by the Australian
regard
of the pastorial interests which must ensue,
l unless a
timely supply of labour was procured,
there-
fore have the effect of materially wou would
the price of the better descriptions enhancing
the woollen manufactures of this 000 r as o
it
would be many years before the 39,000,00Ppounds
weight of fine wools, annually received from Australia could be supplied from any other '
quarter of the globe.
" I feel bound to testify to the very
prompt
manner in
which Earl Grey, and her Majesty's Colonial Land and
Emigration Commissioners, have acted upon the sugges-
tions made to them for the relief of the colonists in
their present emergency, energetic measures being now
in progress for sending out to the colony as many free
emigrants as possible from the rural districts of the
kingdom. Notwithstanding, however, that absolutely
free passages are offered to industrious and reputable
families of the working classes, very great difficulty has
been experienced by the Government in procuring a suf-
ficent number of emigants to fill their ships as rapidly
as they are desirous of dispatching them.
In Australia—unrivalled for the salubrity of its cli-
mate—millions of acres of the most fertile soil await the
operations of the husbandman, while numerous other
resources of that great country only require increased
capital and increased population fbr their development.
Here numbers of the labouring classes are brought to
the very verge of destitution for want of employment—
there, many millions of pounds' weight of beef and
mutton are annually wasted for want of consumers—
the corn is shed for want of reapers—the wool is in-
jured or lost for want of shearers; and all the other in-
dustrial operations of the country are in like manner
seriously detrimented from the scarcity of labour.
" In illustration of the highly prosperous condition of
the colony of Victoria, I would merely mention that
though the settlement is only fifteen years old, its popu-
lation exceeds 77,000 souls, while its exports nearly
double its imports, the former being at the rate of fully
151. per head for the entire population.
" The funds for emigration are furnished by the co-
lony from the proceeds of the sale of Crown lands, and
are administered by her Majesty's Colonial Land and
Emigration-Commissioners, under whose immediate con-
trol all emigration paid for out of these funds is con-
ducted. The classes of free emigrants of good character
most in request in the colony at the present time are,.....
"Ist. Married agricultural labourers with their wives,
and female domestic or farm servants. 2d. A limited
number of single men of the above calling; and 3d,
country mechanics, such as blacksmiths, bricklayers,
carpenters, masons, sawyers, wheelwrights, and gar-
deners, with their wives.
" Applicants, when approved, are called to make con-
tributions as follows, according to the class to which
they belong, the same, being the only payment required
from the emigrant for passage to the colony, as well ~
for provisions, medical attendance, bedding, and --
utensils for the voyage, viz.:—By emigrants of th mews
e first
class one pound per head; by those of the second
two
perchpound r head; and by thoseof nd
class
the third five
pounds ad."
