NEW SOUTH WALES.

We have received advices from Parramata to the
25th April, and from Adelaide to,the 26th May.
The following is the abstract of the revenue of the
colony (exclusively of Port Phillip) in the quarters
ending the 31st March, 1846 and 1847. We find a
decrease tof 7,7191. 17s. ld. in the corresponding
quarter of 1846.
The gross amount of the general revenue for the
past quarter is 47,7091. 6s. 7d. ; of the Crown re-
venues, 5,530/. 16s. ld.
The total decrease amounts to 12,2141. lls. 6d.,
from which the increase (chiefly arising in duties on
foreign goods imported, and spirits distilled in the
colony) is to be deducted, leaving, as we have stated
above, a decrease of 7,7191. 17s. ld.

bushel, leaving a profit of 4s. 2d. per bushel.—Port

members of the Jewish persuasion to found a Hebrew

ADELAIDE, MAY 26.—The completion of the South
Australian Mining Association's deed of settlement
made quite a sensation in Adelaide ; and, coupled
with the highly favourable report from " Stocks'
Shaft," had a tendency to influence the market value
of shares.

DEATH or DOCTOR CURRAN.—Dr. John Oliver
Curran, whose illness of fever we mentioned some days
ago, sunk rapidly during the latter part of Saturday,
and through the night of that day ; and, notwithstand-
ing all that the skill and brotherly aid of the ablest men
in the profession could effect, the fatal typhus claimed
him for its victim, and he expired at nine o'clock on
the Sunday morning—another bright name added to the
list of martyrs of the medical profession in Ireland.
Dr. Curran had but entered his 27th year. He was a
professor of the practice of medicine to the Apothecaries'
Hall, a licentiate of the College of Physicians, a graduate
of Trinity College, a member of the Royal 'lrish Aca-
demy, and attached to all the literary and scientific
institutions in this city.
