DEPARTURES FOR AUSTRALIA.—The departures from
the port of London for the Australian colonies during
the past week have again been numerous. They con-
sisted of eight vessels to Port Philip, with an aggregate
burden of 4,456 tons ; three to Adelaide, with an aggre-
gate burden of 1,344 tons ; one to Sydney, of 709 tons ;
and one to Swan River, of 358 tons. Their total capa-
city was consequently 6,867 tons. Considerable ship-
ments continue to be made of manufactured goods and
general merchandise, but the quotations of freight have
experienced a decline.
BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS.—The Board of Trade
tables for the month ending the sth of February were
issued yesterday morning, and fully exemplify the acti-
vity that has recently prevailed in all branches of busi-
ness, while at the same time they account for the
increasing demand for labour and the unabated con-
sumption of raw material. As compared with the cor-
responding month of last year, which in itself was one
of great prosperity, the declared value of our exportations
exhibit an augmentation of 1,410,0601., or nearly 30 per
cent. _ _

NATIONAL FOLLY.—The French are said to feel hurt
because when all the great powers of Europe were againts
them, it was their lot to sustain a defeat forty years
ago. The Persians beat them in absurdity. They still
suffer for the overthrow of Darius, and mar their history
by ridiculous fictions intended to over that melancholy
accident to their national glory.
