LETTER FROM AUSTRALIA.

Mr. P. H. Howard, of Corby Castle, has received the
following letter from an emigrant from the neighbour-
hood of Carlisle, which contains interesting particulars
concerning Sydney :

" Sdne, March 26, 18 53.
"Sir, -I take the liberty of addressing these few lines
to you, sincerely hoping you will not be offended at my
freedom, but when I think of the many acts of kind-
ness I have received at your hand, and particularly
the time I called upon you in London a few days
previous to my leaving England, I thought it but
my duty to let you know of my safe arrival and pro-
spects in this colony. lam happy to inform you that I
have not been disappointed in my expectations, neither
in regard to climate nor wages ; the climate, I am
confident, is suitable for English subjects. I have
been here the whole of the summer, and with the ex-
ception of four days (which were certainly very hot, the
thermometer ranging from 90 to 112), it has been much
the same as a summer at home. It is now autumn ;
the weather is very favourable to vegetation, getting at
intervals fine refreshing showers. Sydney is a large
stirring town, with a great many excellent buildings,
but as there is a great many new building in
course of erection in nearly all the principal streets,
they give it an unfinished appearance ; but I
should say in a few years it will be second to no
port town in England. There is a very fine park
and botanic gardens, which are very extensive, and
always open to the public. The harbour on which the
town is built is one of the finest, I should say, in the world.
They are making a large dry dock, which was very much
wanted, as there is great inconvenience in repairing
vessels without one. Shipping is very much on the
increase to this colony, and no doubt will continue to do
so. There has been a great many arrivals this week from
all parts, amongst them the Chusan steamer, with the Eng-
lish mails, and two ships from Plymouth, one the Bussorah
Merchant, with 300 emigrants, the other the Resolute,
with 136 passenger ; amongst them is Lord Henry Scott
and Lord Schomberg Kerr ; also a ship with 280 Ger-
man emigrants-in all, from different parts, upwards of
1,200 were landed in Sydney during the last four days.
But population is what is most wanted here ; there is
plenty of employment and good wages for workmen of
all descriptions. Labouring men's wages are ranging in
Sydney at this time from ss. to 10s. per day ; stone-

if it was only known in England what a beautiful
country this is, the demand there is for labour, and
the remuneration they receive for it, a great many
more would come to this land of plenty than does,
for there is no want here. I have not seen a beggar
since I landed. For a man that has a young family and
nothing but his labour to depend upon in England, he

would be doing them a greater service by bringing them
to New South Wales, than leaving them at home with
1001. each, for their wages will be more in three
months here than in twelve in England ; and I know
unless it is altered since I left, there is many a good
hard-working man begging to get work to do, with a
wife and family of children half-starved at home. Now
such as them I would advise by all means to try to get
out here, where they will find plenty of employers glad.
to engage them, and where, if they choose to be very
industrious, poverty will trouble them no more. But I
have made a long digression from the description of Syd-
ney which I was attempting to give you. There is a
very good market-house, well-built, and pretty well
supplied with all the commodities of life, both colonial
and exported produce. The following is the present price
of the articles named, retail :-Beef and mutton, 2d. to
3d. per lb. ; bread 7d. per 21b. loaf ; cheese, colonial,
6d. to 7d. ; English, is. to Is. 3d. ; bacon, ls. ; eggs,
' 2s. per dozen • potatoes, 12s. per cwt. ; butter, ls. 4d.
per lb. ; tea, 2s. ; coffee, ls. ; sugar, 3d. ; all kinds
of vegetables are very dear. Cabbages, 9d, to ls.
each ; carrots, turnips, and parsnips, 2s. to 3s. per
dozen ; peas, 10s. per bushel ; beans, 6s. ; and all
other vegetables in proportion. Fruit is more reason-
able. Grapes, 6d. per lb. ; apples and pears, 2d. per
basket ; melons, 10s. per dozen ; peaches, 2d. per dozen ;
but the fruit season is nearly over. Fruit is very
cheap in the summer, and the market well sup-
plied. This climate suits a great many sorts of fruit that
are not grown in England, such as the loquet, orange,
lemon, guata, pommegranate, fig, peach, nectarine, and.
apricot, which grow very fine ; and the grape, I have no
doubt, in time, will form a great branch of our exports,
as it may be cultivated to great perfection, at little ex-
pense, the climate i$ so imitable. The olive grows to a
great perfection, and begins to claim no small share of
attention. Several plantations have already been laid
out, and no doubt, in time, will be very remunerative to
the originators. The cotton Is also beginning to be
largely cultivated, particularly in Morton Bay district ;
and the tobacco plant is likewise cultivated to some ex-
tent. But all these things are only in their infancy yet;
what they may eventually become is difficult to say atpre-
sent. The inhabitants of Sydney are composed of nearly
every nation and colour; but the English and Irish are
certainly more numerous than all the rest put together.
Of course we have places of worship to suit all parties.
There are four churches of Rome, six of England, six
Scotch, and thirteen chapels of various Dissenters.
There is a museum, which is open to the public two days
in the week ; also a public library, a mechanics' school
of arts, and a botanic and horticultural society ; also a
benevolent asylum, infirmary and dispensary, and female
refuge society, the Australian society for the encourage-
ment of arts, science, commerce, and agriculture in Aus-
tralia, and a society for promoting the culture of the
vine ; also several minor associations, &c. The compa-
nies are almost out of number. There is the Railway
Company, Steam Navigation Company, Gas Company,
Copper Mining Company, Great Nugget Gold Company,
Australian Gold Mining Company, Quartz Crushing Gold
Company, Gold Escort Company, Sugar Company, Trust
Company, banking companies, and thirteen insurance
companies, &c. In the neighbourhood of Sidney the
land is very uncultivated yet, it being very expensive to
break up, the bush is so very rough, and full of stones
and craigs • but there are several gentlemen's houses and
huts straggling up and down, with small clearings round
them. But bad as the land is it sells at a very high
rate. At a sale of crown lands, last week, some lots
brought as much as 1501. per acre, and some was sold
for less than 1001. This ground is on the north shore,
about a mile from Sydney ; it is only suitable for build-
ing upon and gardens ; there is no land suitable for
agricultural purposes within several miles of Sid-
ney. House rent is very high ; a small two-roomed
co.tage is 10s. per week, and large houses are very hard
to get at 1001. to 2001. per year ; the population has in-
creased so fast lately that builders have not been able to
keep pace

bark,
which is about 2 inches thick, is taken from the tree 6
feet long and 3 feet broad, and answers for both wall
and roof, and will last for a long time. A great many
of the stone buildings are roofed with bark, although
shingle is mostly used. I have only seen one slated
house since I have been here. Firing is also very dear

provender is also very high : hay 201 per

are still as prolific, or, in fact, more so than ever • the
arrivals by the gold escort are quite surprising. There
have been several new diggings discovered lately, both
in Victoria and New South Wales, and many hundreds
have made their fortunes already ; but the new comers
need not despair, there is plenty of gold undug as yet.
I sincerely hope both yourself, Mrs. Howard, and family
are all in good health, and will continue to enjoy that
greatest of blessings. lam happy to say I have not had
one hour's sickness since I left England. I must now
conclude by remaining your obedient and humble
servant, " ROBERT ELLIOT,
" Gardener to Wm. Carr, Esq.,
"229, Elizabeth-street, Sydney, N.S.W."

THE ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.--
The report that the Lord Mayor escaped injury is a
mistake. His lordship's face was much bruised, his
nose and mouth were much cut, and he speaks and
swallows with much pain. It was considered very for-
tunate for him that he bled most profusely. He passed
a restless night, and is still confined to his bed.
LIVERPOOL DOCK EXTENSION. —The Committee of
Works recommended, at the last Dock Committee, that
the trustees should avail themselves of the opportunity
to purchase three parcels of freehold land near the canal,
containing 28,836 square yards. The
price was 11. 2s
111 d. per yard, and the total cost 33,113/. 15s. The
purchase was considered desirable, in reference to any
increased accommodation that might be required in con-
nection with the docks.—Liverpool Times.
VALUE OF A DAY'S FISHING AT WICK.—On Tuesday
week the value of green fish delivered in the Wick dis-
trict amounted to 12,0001. ; when barrels, salt, and
labour in curing are added, the aggregate amount would
be fully 20,0001.
SINGULAR DEATH.—A respectable man named CarrtS,
a miller, at Duclair, was two days ago occupied in
pouring wheat into the hopper of his mill when the end
of his cravat caught in a part of the machinery and he
was instantaneously strangled.
ELECTRIC WEAVING MACHINE. The Chevalier
Bonelli, of Turin, director of the Sardinian telegraphs,
has invented electric weaving machines destined to re-
place with advantage the frames a /a Jacquart, for
weaving figured stuffs. Details are as yet wanting re-
specting this invention, which appears destined to pro-
duce a great change in industrial matters.—Galignani.
THE LIVERPOOL BOROUGH REGISTRATION.—There
will be a very abundant crop of litigation in the Liver-
pool Registration Court, if all the objections and claims
made by the two parties are persisted in. They form,
together, a grand total of five thousand one hundred and
fifty-one cases. Of these the Reformers have made
1,966 objections and 728 claims ; and the Conservatives,
who are not far behind them, have made 1,754 objec-
tions and 703 claims.

the driver (Pardington) seen and regarded the " Danger"
signal. But the train had started ; and, although par_
dington is described as an excellent and steady driver,
with an irreproachable character, the " Danger" flag
was not noticed, and these precautions became there-
fore valueless. The obvious mode, however, to have
prevented this sad calamity was, not to have allowed
the coal-train to cross the down line within 10 minutes
of the time when the express was due. It was notorious
that the express started from King's-cross at 5 o'clock ;
and, unless there were other cogent reasons for expe-
diting the coal-train, surely the desirable course would
have been to allow the express train to pass before the
crossing was attempted.
Again, it occurs to us that it would have been very
desirable if Radbourne, the porter, had been provided
with fog signals to place upon the line. It is not
enough, when a line is actually blocked, to trust to the
eye alone. The eye of the driver may be distracted for
a moment from the line, and in that moment the mis-
chief is accomplished. The fog detonating signals, from
the sharp
cracking noise which they emit when they ex-
plodeao as the wheels of the locomotive pass over them,
cscarcely fail to attract attention

all expectations, passing the eastern channel to resume
her work with all the ease of a steamer accustomed to
the port.
Having taken bearings for a fresh departure, she
steamed out again to the Eddystone against a breeze
which had freshened to a force of six, presenting a re-
sistance of eight against the ship at her then velocity.
The rate by log was nine knots when the revolutions were

hour on the whole distance was 8'538 knots.
It was slack water on the trial before the wind, but
the tide was setting in on the trial against, and was
therefore opposed to the presumed rate of the ship.
On the whole, the rates deduced from the observed
distances seem to hear out the rates taken by common
log. When we consider, therefore, that the machinery

DIRECT STEAM NAVIGATION WITH AUSTRALIA.—This
subject, by the last advices from Melbourne, was at-
tracting much attention, there being several new routes
proposed. The Melbourne Arqus, in a leading article,
refers to " The Australian Direct Company," and says,
" The route chosen is one which has been looked upon
by many practical men as that best adapted to carry out
the great object in view—that of the speediest and
safest transit. The weather in crossing the great Pacific
Ocean being almost universally fine, and the equable
temperature of the latitude kept during the voyage,
avoiding as it does the storms and the cold encountered
in rounding the Capes of the Horn and Good Hope, and
the heats of the torrid zone in the Indian voyage, are
much more conducive to the health and comfort of
the traveller. The time occupied in crossing the
Isthmus by land is almost directly to be reduced
to a few hours in a railway carriage, and it being
intended that steamers belonging to the company shall
be in readiness on the other shore, not the slightest
delay would be incurred, while at no remote period we

imperatively demand the speediest and most direct com-

that, they will be fully equal to support, in a highly re-
munerative manner, their own distinct and especial line.
In addition to this, the project before us is a noble one
in a national point of view, as it will add another power-
ful steam arm to the service of Great Britain and her
colonies,nrlAicninvn besides keeping the earnings of such a vast un-

THE NAVIGATION OF THE DANUBE AND THE CORN
TRADE.---It will be a very serious matter for the corn
trade of this country if the Sulina Channel, at the
mouth of the Danube, becomes blocked up, of which we
fear there is at present some chance, through the apathy,
the sloathfulness, or possibly some worse feeling, on the
part of Russia. We constantly hear of the mouths of
the Danube ; but practically, and for the purposes of
shipping, it has but one mouth, which is the Sulina
Channel, and which requires constant attention to keep
it navigable. That Russia can be entrusted with this
essential duty is what we very much doubt. It is,
in fact, one in which nearly the whole of Europe is
interested, although, probably, England would suffer
most by an impediment in the navigation. It may
not, perhaps, be generally known that by uniting the
Illa, which flows into the Danube, with the Lake of
Constance, a water communication might be opened
between the Danube and the Rhine—a design which,
we believe, was once entertained. We should like to
see the shores on either side of this noble river placed
as a neutral territory, under the protectorate of some
of the great powers—say England, France, Russia,
and Austria,—which would have the charge and respon-
sibility of keeping the navigation open. It is at least
worthy the consideration of European statesmen, and
no time can be more propitious for such a move-
ment than the present, when France and England
are on coraial terms ; and when the threatened failure
of the harvest, in so many different countries, shows
the great importance of the corn trade of the shores
bordering on the Danube to Western Europe.—Ship-

my signature—to sign my own name. The one is usual,
the other is a forgery.

Mr. Hall—There is no use in arguing the point.
There is the " general authority," which, as Mr.
Mullens has shown, is fatal to the case. It could never
stand.

Mr. Dunn, who conducted the prosecution, publicly.
and in a private argument subsequently, endeavoured
to contest this point, but without effect, and the pri-
soner was committed on the embezzlement charges only.

TITAMES.—BRUTAL ASSAULT.—James Barry a
corn porter, aged 24, of 5, Cherry-garden-street, Ber-
mondsey, was brought up on remand, charged with
assaulting John Ryan, whose nose was bitten off in a
scuffle with the prisoner.
The prisoner was committed for trial.

CHOLERA.—From Stockholm, August 20, we learn
that a strict quarantine is maintained against all vessels
from Finland. Nevertheless, a rumour is in circulation
that the cholera has crept in among us from that quar-
ter. A newspaper from Abo reports that 1,400 cholera
cases, of which 600 were fatal, had occurred in Helsing-
fors. A letter from Berlin, of the 26th,
says :—" The
cholera has just broken out here, but up to the present
time it has appeared in a mild form."
