By the ship Thomas Law is we have received files of
Port Philip Journals to June 13, troin which we ex-
tree'. the following :
" great land•sale toak pin!, when the land
fetched extraordinarily high prices. Tne result of the
sale wr.s, Suburban Allotments, 40,6591. ; portions of
land, 34,970/. ; Town Allotments, 35,3571 ; The land
fetched various prices, from the maximum► to 501. per acre.
but only half the quantity put up was purchased, the
remainder being described as had land, in remote litua-

tions. The town allotments fetched most extravagant
prices, the average being upwards of 450/. per half
acre allotment, while one sold as high as 1,040/. ; tho
total amount of the sale v. as 102,356/. 9s.

‘Ve have received the Port Philip Gazette to t}.e

th June.

The imnl'grant3 by the Glen Huntley, who have been
relieved from quarantine have all, we understand, ob-
tained employment en very advantageous terms. Tile
demand for labour in the pro% ince is rapidly increasing,
the proprietors of property in the suburban and rural
distticts having commenced (2102i:sive improvements en
their grounds, whch they fiat) the utmost inconveni-
ence in carrying o:), from the extreme difficulty they
find in procuring labourers.

Y4lparalso papers to the 2.5 th July contain no news.
of importance.

THE FUNDS.

In the Foreign Exchanges esterdny afternoon there
was not much business doing, and the only alteration
worth notice is a slight advance on Paris.
The current report which prevailed during yester-
day, that the King of the French had been assassinated,
turns out to be a fabrication, and no doubt inventcd for
stock-jobbing purposes.
