EVENING, APRIL lB, 1852.

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 MALMESBURY 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 Terneswar, 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.

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 sid. to 6icl.; 50 Bahia, at 6d.; 300 Egyptian,
at Sid. to 7d.; 500 Surat, at 31d. to 4d.; 80 Sea Island,
at ls. lid. to Is. 4d.; and the remainder American.—
Railway Shares were firm at advanced prices.
The •present seems to be a period when, beyond
all others, attention should be called to the position
and proapeeta 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
enconrage the emigration of particular classes, ,and the
exerkiont of Mrs. Chisholm •
on behalf of distressed
females ate patent to alli, but voluntary emigration on
a much larger scale is desirable. Mr. King, the delegate
froni Victoria, furnishes"'some useful and perfectly re-
liable information, part of which we subjoin :
"It may possibly be known to most of your irdera
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 allethAe
.Austral im
ian.
colonies, ported into Britain was supplied by th
colonies, of which Victoria ranks the highest, both in
regard to quantity and quality, and, that , the extinction
of the pastorial interests which must ensue, unless a
timely supply of labour' was procured, *mild there-
fore have the effect of materially enhancing
the price of the better descriptions of
the woollen manufactures of this country, as it
would be many' yenta before the 39,000,000 pounds
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 'milt prompt meaner 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 for 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 allaamigration 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,—
" let. 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

THE FIELD FOR THE COLUMN STAKES, &o.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,.—..My prognostication concerning yesterday's.
races were verified to the letter. They could not well
have been otherwise, as I was aware some time since
that Hugo and Livermere would walk over for their rie.
speotive races; and I had but little doubt of being pre-
vented tasting the Hesperian fruit with the Duke of
Bedford's Brother to Planet in the race for the 100 sm.
Stakes. It was a near affair, however, with Hesperus
and Wingenund, as the latter made all the running, the
winner waiting on him to the last few strides, when
Butler made his effort, and popped Hesperus in on the
post by a short head. hex, booked all over London as
a certainty for the race, was a rather indifferent third,
beaten for pace all the way.
The Craven Stakes brought Osborne's smart filly,
Lady Agnes, out, in her true colours, for she not only
cut out all the work, but won with the greatest ease
imaginable by two or three lengths • Little Savage being
second, Harpsichord third, and lengths;
fourth and
last. With respect to the last-named, this performance
must not be taken as a specimen of true running; he did
not seem to be altogether fit, and never made an effort
in any part of the race.
The favourite (Exeter) won the 20 soya. Stakes:rather
easily by a length, beating Telescope, to whom he con-
ceded 41bs, Livermere, and Recruit. Lord Ribblesdale's
nag was overweighted or he might have shown to better
advantage; he is, however, a thorough paced bad-un,
and if Lapidist was not some dozen pounds or so better
than him, would stand little chance of winning the Derby.
His defeat slightly affected Lapidist's position in the
betting for the great race at Epsom, as he receded a
point or two.
Out of the six stakes on the card for decision to-
morrow, only one, the Column, is named for as yet. The
following is the probable field for that stake:—Lord
Ribblesdale's Lapidist, Bst 71b; Mr. Hughes's Sophistry,
Bst.llb; Mr. Payae's Glenluce, Bst 41b (d); Lord Or-
ford's Exotic filly, Bst 41b; Mr. Batson's Khadidya, Bst
llb; and one of Lord Exeter's fillies, probably that out
of Merope, Bst 11b. Hugo, Bst 41b; is left in, and may
ran, but I somewhat doubt the Captain's throwing away
the odd poney, as .he must very well know that the
Duke's horse stands no earthly chance of winning.
The betting, this morning refers principally to to-day's
races, which it will be superfluous to. record: the prices
on the other Newmarket events are as follows:—Column
Stakes-2 to lon Lapidist. Claret Stakes-5 to 4 agst
Ariosto, 2 to 1 agst Grecian, 5 to 2 agst Mountain Deer.
Port Stakes-6 to 4 each agst Midas and Lamartine, 3
to 1 agst the Prime Minister.
