with the amount at market at same time last year.

40,600,0001b5. last year. This shortcoming in the ex-

AUSTRALIA.

We have received Melbourne papers to the 12th
Nov.

The quotations for flour, at Messrs. Alison and
Knight's mills, were—fine, 47/. ; seconds, 431. The
latest quotation at Geelong was 501. for fine, some
sales having been effected at 551.
The price of gold was 695. The gold received in
Melbourne, by escorts, during the week ending the
30th October, amounted to 65,605 ounces. No
fuller information had been received from the
Ovens, and the news from the other diggings pos-
sessed no particular interest. A large amount of
specie had been received by the late arrivals from
England.
In the election for North Bourke to fill the va-
cancy in the Legislative Council caused by the
death of Mr. Dight, Mr. William Nicholson, late
mayor of Melbourne, was returned. The numbers
polled were—for Alderman Nicholson, 313 ; for
Alderman Hodgson, 265.

MOUNT ALEXANDER ESCOJtT.—The Government
-e,scortirom Mount Alexan(l44444Yi
with 21,835 oz. 5 dwts. of gold. - -
BALLARAT ESCORT.—The exact quantity of gold
brought by this escort on Wednesday was 18,075
ounces ; 12,713 ounces of which were left at Gee-
long, and the remaining 5,361 ounces brought into
Melbourne.

The intelligence contained in these advices is
highly satisfactory, and the yield of gold at the
Melbourne diggings was still immense.
It was expected that the Roxburgh Castle would
take in about 50,000 ounces more. That vessel
would consequently take home the largest cargo of
gold yet shipped from Victoria.

The Great- Britain steamer reached Port Philip
on the 12th of November, having left the Cane on
the 17th of October. The last part of her passage
was performed with great speed, and it is highly
cieditable to all concerned that out of the large
number of passengers only one died on the passage.
The Sydney steamer had also arrived at Port
Philip after a long passage out.
The price of flour at Melbourne was 471. per ton
for fine, and 431. for seconds ; wheat 12s. per
bushel.

The price of gold was 3/. 9s. an ounce at Mel-
bourne, and was not expected to rise above that
quotation. If an export duty was imposed, it
would fall in proportion to the amount of the
duty.

The amount of specie received in Melbourne dur-
ing the first fortnight of November, was over
350,0001., and the number of persons who ar-
rived 4,359- The labour market was easier, owing
to the great amount of immigration, and servants
were more readily obtained.
The Sydney papers describe the position of that
colony as extremely satisfactory. The harvest was
expected to be very productive, and tho farmers
had contrived to sow wheat in such quantities that
the yield would prove at least equal to that of former
years. The prices of flour and wheat at Sydney
were stiil high.
The Sydney diggings were yielding well, and a
fair amount of gold had been brought down to
Sydney during the month of October. The price
of labour being less in that colony, attention was
being turned to quartz mining and to combined
action in the production of gold.
Several departures of ships with _gold had taken
place from Sydney ; the last being the Alert, with
43,000 ounces, on the Ist of November ; and the
Bloomer, with 10,000 ounces on the 3d. •
The following vessels arrived from England in
Port Jackson from the Ist of October to the 7th
November :—Bank of England, Bth Oct. ; Kate,
10th Oct. ; Irene, IGth ; Marian, 23rd ; Florida,
25th ; Lydia, 25th ; Frances Walker, 2Gth.
In South Australia the state of affairs was highly
satisfactory. The Echunga diggings were yielding
steadily, but not in such quantities as to disturb
social relations. Barra 13urra- shares were last
quoted at 1.651.

- Gold has also been discovered, though not in con-
siderable quantities, in New Zealand.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

The Royal Mail steam-ship Canada, Captain
