The direct advices from Victoria reach a fortnight
later than those received on Wednesday by the Brilliant
and are very satisfactory. The fact of 150,000 ounces of
gold haying been brought into Melbourne by escort
during the first three weeks of January confirms the pro-
bability of the production for the present year being
much greater than in 1852, since this total is irrespective
of the large amounts likely to have been retained at the
mines by newcomers, or to have been brought down by
private hands, as well as of the quantity lying at the
Ovens, to be sent to Sydney on the arrival of the escort
from that place. The period of the year, moreover, was
least favourable for the mines, a large proportion of those
who had arrived to spend their Christmas in the towns
having returned only recently, while the demand for
labour for temporary farming operations was, at the
same time, at its height. The general commercial ac-
counts by this arrival are, upon the whole, good. Seve-
ral vessels were preparing to leave for England during
February, including the Blorenge, Syria, Blackwall,
Lady Peel, Bombay, Melbourne, Atrevida, Northum-
berland, Statesman, and Rienzi. The Sarah Sands was
expected to sail on the Ist of February. In the Legis-
lative Council motions had been carried for addresses to
the governor praying for a grant of 200,0001. out of the
territorial revenue for a system of sewerage for Mel-
boure, a loan of 200,0001. for waterworks out of the or-
dinary revenue, for 25 years, during the first three years
without interest, and an appropriation of 42,0001. for
immediately cleansing the city, constructing water chan-
nels. &c.
Advices from Adelaide, South Australia, to the 13th
of Jamoutry, state that the number of persons at the
Echunga diggings had slightly increased owing to seve-
ral fresh discoveries, none of which, however, were very
rich. The quotation of Burra Burra shares was 145.
The rate for money on real estate was 10 to 121 per
cent., and on discount 15 to 20 per cent.

A very thin attendance, most of the subscribers having
left town for Chester. Trifle and Peggy were still in
the ascendant for the cup ; the betting in other respects
was on a very limited scale.
