port within the last week for various parts of the world, whose

" It is understood that Captain Swanston and Messrs.
Gellebrand and Dobson hare been led to undertake their
voyage to Sydney as agents for certain parties to Port Philip
new settlement, with a view of making satisfactory arrange-
ments with the Government of this Colony for the lawful
purposes of the territory.
COLONIAL SECRETARY'S OgFICE, Sydney, Oct. 18.—His
Excellency the Governor has been pleased to direct that the
period allowed to settlers for notifying their intention- to bring,
out emigrants under the Government notice of the 18th Octo-
ber, 1835 (now republished for more convenient reference),
shall be extended to the 31st day of December. In order to
guard against the inconvenience of long outstanding claims
against the Govyrnment, his Excellency is further pleased to
notify that bounties will not be allowed under this notice, unless
emigrants shall arrive on or before the 31st December, 1837.
From the Launceston papers to the 28th October, we ex-
tract the following :
The Tamar Bank had been compelled to suspend its pay-
ments temporarily, in consequence of their not being able to
obtain a supply of specie for immediate purposq.s. Prepara-
tions were making to resume businese, having ample funds to
meet the demand upon them."
Accounts from King George's Sound state that the new
settlement was going on prosperously. The emigrants who
had arrived out by the Amelia, Thompson, bad nearly all been
provided with situations.
The markets at Sydney were lower. Wheat was at 3s. to
3s. 6d. per bushel ; Flour 15s. per 100 weight for the finest,
and Bs. for inferior samples.
Money is more plentiful for commercial affairs ; and, upon
the whole, things have improved, but not as yet settled down.
On Saturday there was no feature in the British market
worth noticing.

RALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK
Letters are in town from Madrid to the 4th instant, stating
that the Ministry had been completed, by the accession of
Count Almodovar to the War department, and it consequently
assumed an appearance, of stability. Various offers for ad-
vances of money had been made by agents of foreign houses,
with the view of enabling the Government to meet the divi-
dends of May next.
The grippe prevailed in Madrid to a considerable extent,
but in-.a mild form, and no fatal cases had taken place.
Other letters state that the Government had been offered
500,0001. in advance on bills on the Havannah, at various dates,
which offer was under consideration.

To the present time we do not hear of any further arrivals,
either from France or Spain, though very anxiously looked
for, it being expected that the combined operaticms against the
Carlists have commenced ere this.

one period 905; since which they may be quoted at 9011,
