EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.-5.11. J. F. Johnson,
of the general agency office, Sydaey, in • a letter dated
the 24th of May last, says—" I need scarcely toll you
that, so badly as wo aro off for labour, an emigration of
30,000 souls during this year would scarcely be sufficient
for our wants. Building is nearly at An end, and every
other industrial pursuit is considerahly embarrassed;
our resources are permitted to remain undeveloped, our
flocks and herds (to the deterioration of our wool) but
partially tended, and, for want of months to consume
them, many thousands of sheep this year will be killod
:or the sake of the fat alone, in order that it may bo
rendered into tallow for exportation. The experience
of ten years, and the formation during that period of
nearly 60,000 engagements, enable me to affirm that
there is no place in the world where the labouring clitesea
aro so well off as in New South Wales; good wages,
constant employment, no short winter days, and the
;
finest climate under the sun, are temptations that I am
surprised your half-starved, ill-paid redundant popula- •
tion can resist; when coupled, too, with the fact that the
industrious and thrifty soon become employers in their
turn. The rates of wages given in rural districts to
farm labourers are from 121. to 15s. per week, and board
and lodging; shepherds from 28/. to 35/. per annum,
with house-room and rations, consistiog, where the man
is single, of 10 lbs. of meat, of 10 lbs. of flour, 2 lbs. of
sugar, and lb. of tea weekly; where the man is mar-
ried, and his wife employed as hutkceper, which city
woman can do, twice the above rations, and from 35/. to
401; gardeners, 351. to 521. per annum, with provisions;
grooms, coachmen, and domestic male servants, from 35/.
to 501.; mechanics, such as bricklayers, carpenters, ma-
sons, tte., are obtaining from Bs. to los. per day; black-
smiths, timers, and wheelwrights are procurable at pay-
ing rates; for shoemakers and tailors the demand is
great, and remuneration excessive. Of book keepers,
clerks, and tutors, there are sufficient for the present
wants of the colony. With respect to female servants,
!ice., I think an almost indefinite number could procure
go al situations at high rates of weges; but the demand
is greatest for what in England is styled a servant of
all work;' to such we are now paying from 151. to 20/,
per annum, plain cooks 25/. to 301, housemaids 141.,
laundresses and nurses 16/. to 23/., to female servant.,
for the country, the majority being Irish orphans, we
are compelled to pay 161. 6i. a year; goo., needle-
women 12s. to 11 a week, and board and lodging.
PORT OP LIVERPOOL.—The borough of Liverpool
is of very ancient standing; it was first incorporated by
charter from King Henry the Second anno Domini 1173.
King John also granted a charter, with extensive privi-
legqueen es, in the year 1207. From this date, until the reign
Dr
Elizabeth, the history of the port is involved
id ,zuch obscurity.. Io 1561 there were only seven streets
in the containing 138 cottages and G9O inhabitants.

town fitted out
1779 the enterprising merchants of the'
120 privateers, amounting to 31,385 tons, which carried
1,986 guns and 8,754 men, This formidable: armament
succeeded in giving great annoyance to the eneoll, and
captured several French ships, from the East and West
Indies, of immense value. Finally, the captors realiod
prise money to the amount of upwards of a million
sterling; wnereby the merchants were enabled not only
to retrieve their lost credit and extend the commerce of
the port, but to trade upon rot capital. From this
period may be dated the COMMeaCtZuent of the comm' r
Dial greatness of Liverpool ; but the lost rapid and ex-
traordinary increase of its prosperity ha:' taken place
subsequent to the year 1812. It may safes; be stated
that within the last half century there is no port in the
United Kingdom that has increased in wealth, eas;n4
and commercial importance, in the same ratio the:
Liverpool has done. The town has of late years been
greatly extended by the immense increase of its public
and private buildings, in many of which is displayed a
high degree of architectural taste. Its magnificent range
of docks is unequalled in the annals of ancient or modern
history, whilst its comparative commercial tonnage has
long since ;eclipsed that of " the great emporium of the
world." It has increased within the last 40 years from
500,000 tons to 3,900,000 ! Nor is the commerce of the
port of leas importance in a national point of view. It
appears from a return made by order of the House of
Commons that, in the year 1850, the value of its exports
amounted to 34,891,847 ; while those of London in the
same year are stated to have been 14,137,5271. ; thus
showing an excess in favour of Liverpool equal to above
20,000,0001. sterling.

RESPECT FOR THE LAW IN IRELAND.—HiS Excellency
the Lc rd-Lieutenant of Ireland has issued a proclamation,
sitting forth that a proetss server, named Smith, was
brutally beaten a short time ago in the county of Derry,
by two men, named Dowling, waisted by two women,

A reward of 701. is offered for the arrest of the mur-
derers.
