LIVERPOOL COTTON AfARKET, THURSDAY.--`tie have
had a dull market for Cotton to-day, and a decline of id. per
lb. has been submitted to. The sales, 3,000 bags to the
trade.

Arrivals this morning arc French and Ostend mails,
ship-letters from Trinidad and Jamaica, Sydney, of the
301 h May.

We have received Port Phillip Gazettes to the 30th of
May. The Gazette of the 22d May says—" As we pursue
our emu se of examination and scrutiny into the economy of
the Government departments, as instituted for Pert Phillip,
the same careless arrangement, the same futile operation is
everywhere evident, and to comment upon the state of
the mo.t important establishment in Melbourne, from its
intimate connection with our mercantile welfare, can only
be to repeat the remarks applied by us to the state of the
other offices. The management of this branch of Govern-
ment requires, however, a less cursory review than that
which has been taken of the survey in the police ; it is
virtually the machine by which the taxes, in directly paid
by us in support of the Crown's authority, arc disposed of
and applied. The importance of its functions must ba
measured by the means which it has the power of dis-
pensing."

" So short was the supply of flour in Melbourne previous
to the arrival of the Indastry, that 571. per ton was a... Ted
and refused. Bread in consequence had risen to a most
extravagant price, indeed is hardly to be obtained but as a
favour.

" The report which reached Melbourne of tile Govern-
ment auction about to be held here, we are happy to find is
officially confirmed in the Gazette.

" A shepherd belonging to an ou!er station, on Mr. Far-
' lan's establishment, was found dead on the ground, his
head split with a tomahawk, his body separated, and his
entrails torn out. The savages were traced for severe]
miles, but ultimately lost. The whole station is natural!)
thrown into great alarm, the men expressing their deter-
mination to leave if some protection is not afforded. The
Chief Protector has received full instructions, by the late
mails, placing at his command the appointments necessary
for his assistance."

The accounts from Sydney in the Port Philip Gazette,
are to the beginning of May

ing quarter of last year of 33,862/. 1.55. load. A decrease
in the gime quarter, occurs on certain heads, amounting to
to 1,3831. 4s. 7d. The increase is principally under the
heads of customs and duties on Colonial spirits, on which
alone there is an increase of 2 014/. 23. 6;1. The sum of
3,214/. 3s. ald , the proccedn of the sale of stores, landed
per emigrant ships, is altogether a new item. The bulk of
the increase accrues from the safe of Crown lands, and
customs at Port Phillip.
