NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA•

We have received Sydney papers to the 29th June.
(From the Port Philip Gazette, ;rune 8..)
" The blacks, we have learned from Mr. Nuches, are
mustering in large bodies about the Goulbor n, they
are for the most part armed, and evince every .sign of
hostility ; the shepherds at the different statiows are
obliged to be extremely watchful, and go well prover ea
against any attacks. Four bushrangers, of a despera to
gang, who have been committing outrages in tb
northern district of Sydney, have been captured ; it
also appears that many more bushrangers are out in the It
direction."

VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.
" The Lieutenant-Governor opened the present Ses*
sion of the Legislative Council on the 3d inst., an a the
address delivered on the occasion was little more tblan a
detail of the various measures intended to be propred
to the Council for adoption, and a general express ;ion
of congratulation on the spirit of improvement wh icb
continues to pervade the colony:,

SWAN RIVER.
We have to acknowledge the receipt of some of the
Perth Gazettes down to the 4th of May :--
" The settlers complain very much of the present
system of Colonial policy, as tending very ma;erially t.e
cramp their exertions. Instead of being encouraged tb
settlers are encumbered with difficulties from local
causes, beyond the probability of his control. His
lands cQuld not be marked out, or indeed pointed out fP
him for a considerable time, owing to the absence of a
sufficient survey department ; and now he is harrassed
and threated with the spoliation of two-thirds of his ptls-
sessions, if certain conditions are not fulfilled. The r?.-
peated Government notices which have issued from th
Colonial Office upon this subject since the arrival o.f
Governor Hutt appears to have very much diqurbe 3
the minds of the colonists. A steam mill, the firs t
erected in the colony, was nearly completed at Perth.
Cows had been selling at and 30/. ; steer
at 29/. ; and ewes at 2/. 17s. per head. A very exten...e
sive sale of sheep took place at Sydney, when the
prices realised showed that there had been no deterio.
ration in the price of sheep. The first portion of the
sale consisted of ten thousand, which sold at the follow-
ing prices :-441 ewes at 395. per head ; 724 maiden
ewes at 355. per hezd ; 893 mixed, male and female, at
19s. ; 554 maiden ewes at 295.
4. We are sorry to hear that the catarrh is still raging
among the sheep in various parts of the colony."
