MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWO OCLOCK.
The following h 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 41. 12s. 6d. per ton,
below which price there are no sellers. Bars are in very
moderate demand, but the price is considerably 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 of any such arrangement being
adopted at present. Copper is firm in price and in fair
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
declined in price in the early part of the month, and
business was done as low as 141. 2s. 6d., and 14/. ss.
It is now firm at our quotations. The stock on Ist inst.
was 10,944 tons against 8,690 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 large 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 visited 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 demand 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.
Tts several clauses will furnish matter for more particu-
ar consideration, when the measures which they re-
commend, are under discussion in the House; but we
may remark that, in all the subjects to which he adver-
ted, his Excellency manifests a disposition to promote
what are generally understood to be the true interests
of the colony. The justice of our claim upon the
Sydney Government, the amendment of the Postage
Act with especial reference to the abolition
of the tax on newspapers, the modification
of the Electoral Act, the supply of labour, the
estimates, the revision of the : tariff, the educa-
tion of the people, the administration of justice, and the
steps which the recent gold discoveries may render it
necessary to take, in order ,to turn 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.
