AUSTRALIA-THE MARCO

'OLO.

The Marco Polo, which arrived in Liverpool from
Australia on Sunday, brought 100,0001. in gold dust on
freight. She also brought 50 passengers, several of
whom have large sums of money ; one of them is re-
ported to have 45,0001. on board. The voyage out and
home of the Marco Polo is unprecedented, having been
accomplished in the remarkably brief space of five months
and 21 days. The outward passage occupied 68 days,
and the homeward 75 days. During the voyage she
made 315, 318, and 306 miles for three days successively.
Going out, she sailed from the parallel of the Cape of
Good Hope to Port Philip in 23 days. Captain Forbes
states that his emigrants were immediately engaged at
very high wages. Highland shepherds, with their wives
and children, were readily engaged at 2501. a-year and
upwards ; and single men at 60/. to. 701.
landing, a-year. Thd
e
young women were mostly fixed for life n an
the diggers charmed with spinsters, even on the shady
side of 40. Heavy bets were laid upon the Marco Polo
against the steamer home, from the fact of her having
beaten her out. We learn from Captain Forbes that
seamen could not be obtained to man the vessels
at any price. The ship Bourneuf had advertised
for 30 men, at the rate of 351. per month,
but no applications were received. The screw
steam ship Australian sailed from Melbourne
11 days previous to the Marco Polo, with the maiis for
England, and 156,000 ounces of gold. She had arrived
at Adelaide, and was to sail again on the 4th of
October, with an additional 65,000 ounces of gold dust.
