There are accounts to-day by a direct arrival, to
January 28th, from Port Phillip, but we have advices
as late vii Sydney.
There is a more cheerful appearance in the Money
and Stock Markets today. and the " splendid" weather,
together with the accounts from the provinces, the flat-
ness of the grain markets, the facilities offering by the

15th instant are also favourable, as will be shown by the
