THE NEWLY ARRIVED
IMMIGRANTS.
(From the Australian Journal of Feb. 25.)
That fatal defect in the existing regulations of the
Bounty System of Immigration namely, the disem-
barking the people in Sydney, where, surrounded by
more than the usual blandishments of a town, they will
not (without the greatest reluctance) engage for the
country—has been strongly illustrated during the past
week on board the Hyderabad. A ridiculously high
rate of wages ; a proportionate scale of rations ; and
the most absurd allowances and privileges, have been
boldly demanded by the new comers. Town life and its
enjoyments, not country labour and rural occupation,
are aspired to by both the male and female immi-
grants, whose passage hither has been paid by the
country residents. And by the time they have all con-
' descended to be hired, it will be found, that to the
drones of the city, and not to the producing bees of the
hive, will the labour, imported at the expense of the
latter, be consigned.
We have so repeatedly urged upon the authorities the
expediency as well as the justice of landing the whole of
the imported labour at the outports along the sea
board, that we almost despairingly again submit a point
which has been so often pressed in vain. Nevertheless,
we are not without hopes ,that the disappointment and
disgust which have been loudly expressed by the agents
of those country gentlemen whose applications for ser-
vants have been useless on board the Hyderabad, may
not be without effect on the local Government.

REFORM MovzstuNT, Bo!r.—On Wednesday
evening there was a meeting of inhabitant householders
at the vestry-room. The senior churchwarden, Mr,
Patterson, presided; Mr. Taylor moved, and Mr. Runt
seconded, the first resolution :—" That insolvency among
traders, sad desperate destitution among the industrious
classes, are making rapid strides; that the whole system
of taxation must be changed, the hosts of overpaid func-
tionaries and sinecurists must be cut down, &c."—Car-
ried unanimously. Mr. Blamire moved, that Lord John.
Russell's assertion, that the people of this eountry are
not desirous of any great measure of reform, is a total
misrepresentation and want of sympathy wah the poli-
tical and social wants of the people, &c.—Carried unani-
mously. Mr. Murray moved, that the meeting hereby
pledged itself to use all constitutional means in support
of Mr. Hume's motion. That a petition be drawn up
and signed by the inhabitant householders of this
&c.—Carried

SHEFFlELD.—Yesterday Mr. Hume's proposed plan
for Parliamentary reform was discussed in the town
council at Sheffield, on a motion that a petition from the
council praying for amendments in accordance with Mr.
Hume's motion he transmitted to Mr. Cobden, M.P.. to
be presorted to the House of Commons. The motion,
after a long discussion, was rejected by a majority of 28
votes, over a minority of 12 ; 17 members who were pre-
sent remained neutral.
FALL IN THE PRICE Or BREAD.—The bakers
throughout the metropolis yesterday morning reduced
the price of the 41b. loaf id. Those at the West-end
now charge 7d. and 64d. for the best bread; in other
districts 6d. and sid. ; some, in populous neighbour-
hoods, only charge sd. the loaf, weighed on delivery.
Good brown and rye bread can be obtained at anti
4d. The best bread in Paris is ftd.., second quality, sd.
. the 2 kilo. (aabs. Zuglish).
