since the Law and Judges are powerless, but must be grappled with
by the country. Let members of both Houses of Parliament look to
it, and let them remember that no law on the subject will be worth

held out as " medicines" or " medicinally" by any class of men The

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 29.
The White Star clipper ship Red Jacket, Capt.
O'Halloran, belonging to Messrs. Pilkington and
Wilson, of Liverpool, arrived in the Mersey this
afternoon from Melbourne, with advices from Mel-
bourne to the 2d of October, making the passage
in eighty-eight days. She has brought 200 pas-
sengers, and 133,000 ounces of gold, valued at
532,0001. The latest advices from England were
to the Gth of July, brought out by the Royal Mail
ship Morning Light, Captain Gillies, of the Black
Ball line, which made the passage in 73 days.
It is reported that the Red Jacket, in conse-
quence of the prev'alence of strong easterly winds,
has been within five days' sail for the last three
weeks.

The following vessels had arrived out :—Sept. 5,
Guiding Star ; 7th, Victory and Rienzi ; 10th,
Ternperly and Brilliant ; 12th, Ultonia ; 14th, Vic-
toria ; 15th, Czar, Admiral, and Athlete ; 17th,
Moses Davenport ; 22d, Derwent ; 24th, Corrie
Mulzie and Mountain Maid—all from London.
Sop'. 4th, Ellen ; sth, British Trident ; 9th, Sen.
De Salaterry and Golden Era ; 10th, Tornado ;
12th, A Imira and Beeinah ; nth, Saldanha (R.M. S.)
and Morning Light, from Liverpool. Sept. 6th,
Queen of the Seas, from New York.
The dates per the Red Jacket are—Melbourne,
Oct. 2 ; Sidney, Sept. 24 ; Adelaide and Hobart
Town, 22 ; Launceston, 23, and Now Zealand,
Sept. 3.
The news by the Red Jacket is a fortnight later
than by the True Briton.
We abridge from the Melbourne Argus a sum-
mary of the events which had occurred subsequently
to the departure of the previous advices

" GOLD.

"Although the winter which is now passing away has
been a very unfortunate one to the miners, the heavy
rains having frequently flooded their works, the produce
of the gold fields for the first nine months of the year
has already reached the enormous quantity of 190 tons,
or 180,000 lbs. troy. The subjoined statement will show
at a glance the yield of the first three-quarters of the
present compared with those of the three preceding
years :

Received by 1853. 1854. 1E55. 1856.
escort
Shipment 1,831,468 1,653,999 1,815,284 2,142,361
"The effect of the incessant rains has, however, told
on the escort returns of the past three months, which
show a slight decline when compared with the corre-
sponding period of the past year.
"So soon as the summer has fairly set in it is quite
certain that the accounts seat down weekly will increase
rapidly. Many of the wet sinkings in the older fields and
some on the later discoveries are now being 'shepherded,'
until the state of the weather permits of their being
worked. The quartz reefs show no symptoms of exhaus-
tion, tut on the contrary are yielding more plentifully
than ever, and everything bids fair to stamp the current
year as the most prolific since the discovery of the
precious metal. The two events of greatest interest since
the date of our last summary have been the discovery of
a new goldfie'd—Dunolly, to the north-west of Bendigo,
and the 'rush' thither, within the month, of nearly
50,000 miners from Bendigo, Maryborough, and other
places. The sinkings in this field vary from 25 to 40
feet, many of them being very wet. Several parties have
been very fortunate, but we have not heard of any authen-
ticated instances of extraordinary luck. The large num-
bers remaining steadily at work, however, demonstrate
that Duoolly is above the average of recent discoveries,
and that it will become a valuable addition to the re-
sources of the colony.

g‘ POPULATION.

" The returns of the Registrar-General's-office are now
compete up to the 30th of June for the entire colony.
The population on the 31st Dec., 1855, amounted to
319,379 ; the increase for the half-year, by the balance
of arrivals over departures, was 8,714 ; and the increase
by the balance of births over deaths was 3,345 ; giving
a total of 331,438 souls at the end of the first half of the
current year.

" In our last summary we gave a digest of the immi-
gration returns for the month of July. We now subjoin
one for the month of August. This month and the pre-
ceding having been the dullest of the year as regards
arrivals, and have been chiefly remarkable for the tem-
porary rush' towards the Sydney goldfields which has
occurred. This movement is now at an end, and many
miners have already returned in the steamers to Mel-
bourne, while many more have made their way overland
to the Ovens goldfields.

"The balance in favour of the colony of arrivals over
departures was only 97 souls. During the month of
July the balance was against the colony to the number
of 90. The balance in favour of Sydney was 556. Of
the departures for foreign ports about 350 were Chinese.
The totals are thus divided : Arrived '2,216, of whom
1,559 were adult males, 446 adult females, ill male and
100 female children. Departed 2,119, of whom 1,796
were adult males, 228 adult females, 48 male and 47 fe
male children. Of the arrivals 2,179 landed at Mel-
bourne, 12 at Geelong, and 29 at all other ports. Of the
departures 2,091 sailed from Melbourne, 24 from Gee-
long, and 4 from all other ports. During the current
month the stream has set inward with considerable force,
as the weekly returns of the arrivals and departures at
the port of Melbourne demonstrate :
Weeks Ended. Arrived. Departed. Increase.
September 6
September 13
September 20
" The net increase by excess of arrivals over depar-
tures at the port of Melbourne alone in the first three
weeks of September has therefore been 2,656 souls. In
consequence of the acknowledged deficiencies of the
census in 1854, the estimates of population are not at all
reliable.
Preparations are being made for a new census
to be taken early in Decembernext.
"After a prot"raTcßteAr p eArNi
orld Coof 1,1 t o .
dullness,
preparations
are being made for an active summer trade. The roads
which for the last four months have been in a condition'
that has greatly enhanced the price of carriage, will,
after a few days of settled weather, be in good order for
the transport of merchandise; and there is every pros-
spect of a brisk and extensive traffic. The stores,
especially on the northern gold fields, have become bare
of goods, and the demands of a thriving and increasing
population • have to be met. Notwithstanding these
encouraging prospects, there is a feeling of uneasiness
abroad, caused in a great measure by the excessive
arrivals of general merchandise. From the official
published returns we find that we have already
imported vods to the value of 8,752,602/. in the fir- t
nine months of 1856, against 6,951,2281. for the same
period of 1855, while our population hasj not increased
in anything like the same ratio. During the week
ended the 20th inst. our imports amounted to the enor-
mons sum of 665,0721. It is true that the exports have
steadily increased with the imports, but this merely goes
to prove our power of production.
IFrom statistics of exports derived from Customs' re•
turns the shipments of wool during the past season show
a very considerable falling off in quantity compared with
the seasons 1854 and 1855, the shipments fr,on this port
for the respective periods being :—October 10, 1854. to
August 31, 1855, 13,878,2811 b. ; October 10, 1855, to
August, 1856, 11,717,6171 b,, being a reduction of
3,160,6641 b., or about 10,500 bales.

"PUBLIC WORKS.
" Contracts have been accepted for providing locomo
tives, rolling stock, &e., from England for the Melbourne
and Williamstown Railway, the successful tenderers
being Messrs. De Pass, Brothers, and Co., at per
cent. upon the English prices. The same firm havealso
contracted for the supply of 18,000 tons of rails. Ten-
ders have also been invited for the supply of 110,000
sleepers of the Melbourne, Mount Alexander, and Mur-
ray River Railway, and the branch line to Williamstown,
and for a three-rail fence on both bides of the main line
for 20 miles from Melbourne. Tenders have been re-
ceived for the supply of a large quantity/of rolling stock
of colonial manufacture, but have not yet been decided
upon. The railway from this city to St. Kilda is being
rapidly proceeded with, and the line from Melbourne to
Geelong will be opened for traffic throughout, it is con-
fidently asserted, in February next.
"The new Houses of Parliament are being pushed on
with great vigour,
as they will be required occupa-
tion early in November.
"The construction of the telegraphic line connecting
Melbourne, Kyneton, Castlemaine, and Sandhurst is
rapidly progressing towards completion.
"The Geelong and Ballarat line is also in a forward
state, and communication between these places ail' be
e,dablished, it is expected, on or before the Ist of
December.
" The survey of the North Eastern line, to connect
Melhonrne, Kilmore, Seymour, Benallal Beechworth,
•
and Belvoir, is in progress.
"The construction of the Western line, embracing
Geelong, Ballarat, Raglan, Warranambool, Belfast,
Portland, and Mount Gambier (about 250 miles), will be
proceeded with during the ensuing summer.
"THE ELECTioIiEL
"Taking the results of the Upper Rouse elections
into consideration altogether, we cannot congratulate
the country upon them. Perhaps in each province the
selection of members out of the list of candidates to
choose from was as good as could be expected, but the
candidates were so unequally distributed that, while in
some provinces there were not seats for all the eligible
men presenting themselves, in other places the entire

list from which electors had to choose scarcely contained
one really good name. We expect that the L .wer
House will prove far superior in character to the Upper,
while the constitution of the latter and the length of
time for which members retain their seats make it most
unpleasant to reflect that the new Council is little, if at
all, better than the one that has passed away. Fortu-
nately, a considerable number of the members have given
specific pledges to resign if called upon by the majority
of their constituents to do so, and we believe, if, the
Upper House is to enjoy the reputation it ought to pos-
sess, it will become desirable in a great many cases to
insist upon the performance of these promises.

raged and strengthened smaller and feebler holders, who'
would otherwise have ruined the market by forced auc- I
tion sales, which, taking into account the large arrivals,
have been comparatively few, if we except the articles
of butter and boots and shoes. Sisch being the case,.
and late shipments not having gone into actual consump-
tion, it may easily be inferred that stocks in town are
unusually and extraordinarily large—heavier, perhaps,
than at any former • period of the existence of the
colony ; and, as arrivals will continue large, it will
be matter enough for congratulation if, without any
proportionate increase of immigration, prices are
maintained at the present point. The import trade
is now undergoing a very great change, the eff-cts of
which have not yet been perc-ived, and are not fully de-
veloped. Our imports from the neighbouring colonies
are declining every. week in value, and our exports are
increasing, and Melbourne is fast becoming the central
emporium for the supply of the neighbouring colonies,
instead of being, as heretofore, . the general terminus
towards which a very great portion of the imports of
New South Wales, Tasmania, and. South Australia was
eventually attracted. The diminution of exports from.
Great Britain to those colonies will account for the in-
crease to Victoria ; and looking at it in this light we do
not feel so much alarmed at the greatly increased oper-
ations to this colony, and think rather that they will
conduce to the greater stability and prosperity of Vic-
toria by rendering her the chief emporium of commerce
in the Australias, and to which she is fairly entitled by
her central situation, greater wealth, and larger consum-
ing powers. Bottled ale continues in very good demand,
and stocks of all good brands are running low. The
market for butt- r remains in a very unsatisfactory state.
Candles are in good demand. Cheese has mostly arrived
in good order, and is selling pretty quickly. Coffee is
working off fast, and prices in the absence of arrivals
are inner. The demand for dry goods has been
better, but arrivals being large sales, in most in-
stances, have been at a reduction on advances lately
ruling, and present sales can scarcely leave any
profit to English shippers. Good white-ground
prints, small patterns, are much asked for, and worth a
uood advance. The market for boots and shoes is much
duiler, the dealers being frightened by the large quantity
of goods offering at auction ; ladies and children's goods
sell remuneratively, but men's goods generally are over-
stocked and dull of sale, except best class of Wellingtons.
There is no change to notice in the tea market. The
scarcity of lour and wheat on the west coast, and the
high prices ruling there for breadstuffs have exercised no
influence on our market, as stocks are heavy and the
demand for the diggings not large, owing to the in-
creased rates of cartage. Oats remained in fair demand.
There has been a good demand for low sherries, which
are far scarcer than any other class of wine. Port in
bulk is saleable, but stocks here are heavy, and there is
consequently no rise in value in proportion to the in-
creased cost in England. Case port sells only at
miserable prices, which leave a loss on importations.
Good sparkling hock and Moselle are very saleable, at
355. to 455., according to quality. The demand for case
claret is good, but buyers will not pay more than 244.,
duty paid, which, on anything except most ordinary
wines, leaves a lose. In tobacco there is no improve-
ment, and arrivals continue heavy. Bar and rod iron
is firm. Timber generally is steady at our quotations,
but flooring boards are largely in over supply. Slates
are lower, and more difficult to move. For blasting
powder there is some demand, and the price has im-
proved a shade. Oilmen's stores have not improved, and
are if anything rather lower. Pearl barley is improving,
and is worth 3d. There is a fair demand for African
ginger, both brown and bleached. Dried fruits conti-
nue at former paying rates, say, currants 141., Elemi
raisins Ed., Jordan almonds 2s. to 2s. 3d. Soft-shell
almonds, muscatels, figs, and Barcelona nuts are, how-
ever, bad stock, and do net pay to ship. Salt, in con-
sequence of heavy arrivals, is again lewer, and difficult '
to place. Manilla rope, small sizes, is wanted, and sells
readily at 751. Invoices of good cutlery are asked for, ,
and are saleable at 40 per cent. advance. Ewbank's
nails were worth 10 per cent. on list, but are
now more plentiful, and worth only 21 to 5 per cent.
on list. Wrapping paper is saleable at 4id Chicory
is lower, and worth but 51d., duty paid. With tobacco
pipes the market is glutted, and prices are much lower.
Blacking in tins is wanted. Spirits, with the excep
tion of good brands of pale brandy, are lower."
Messrs. Clough and Co. report as follows of the
wool trade :

is difficult to predict, but we may positively depend upon
the supply being still smaller. Many large growers
have directed their attention to cattle, and have given
up breeding sheep, and from the assessment of stock
returns we are led to believe the reduction in quantity
will be very considerable.
" In consequence of the copious rains which have
fallen during the winter we are informed that on many
stations where washing cannot usually be effected for
want of water, there will be a good supply, and that we
may expect the wool this season to be well got up
throughout the colony. The news per Montmorency,
confirmed by the Golden Era, of a decline at the close
of the May Woe, of .hnnt 2d. per lb., has had the effect
of causing buyers to operate ♦ery cauiiouely .o thio
market, the supply however being small, and consisting
(until the arrival of the new clip, which we may expect
commencing to come down from the interior in October
and November), entirely of felhnongers' scoured and
hannwashed wools, has prevented holders accepting the
full reduction as yet. We may, however, quote prices
about Id, per lb. lower."
From Adelaide we learn that Capt. Kirby, of
Port Adelaide, was fitting cut at his own expense
an expedition to try for three months what could be
done at the rumoured gold field in Kangaroo
Island. The party was to consist of himself and
four practical diggers.

The Phoenix-park yestenlay was the scene of a dis
treating and fatal accident. The pond was partially
frozen and a number of persons were • engaged skating
wherever the ice appeared thickest. A large dog having
fallen through a hole, one of the skaters in attempting
to rescue lion fell in, but was extricated by a number of
those -present, though with much difficulty. As soon as
the excitement attendant on this accident had subsided,
it was found that four boys had fallen in in another part
of the pond. Although the danger of attempting to
rescue them was very great, two young men, named
-Burke acid Henson, plunged in and succeeded in extri-
cating three of the four. The fourth was sulisequentiy
drawn out, and although every possible effort was made
to restore him he died soon afterwards. A subscription
was entered into on the spot to reward the men who had
perilled their lives. A sum of 31. was at once collected,
upwards of 10s. of which was made up of the pence of
tho poor boys who were amusing themselves about the
grounds.
The Mining Company of Ireland have issued their ac
count previous to their half-yearly meeting. The net

The directors have raised the salary of their secretary,
Mr. Heron, from 3001. to 5001.
An extraordinary general meeting of the Belfast and
County Down Railway Company was held at the Ter-
minus of the company, in Belfast, on Friday, " for the
purpose of considering an application made by the promo-
ters of the British and Irish Grand Junction Railway to
the directors of the Belfast and County Down Railway
Couspany, to subscribe a sum of 15,000 f to the proposed
undertaking, being a line from Castle Douglas to Port-
patrick ; and also to authorise the directors to enter into
agreements, and do such other acts as may be necessary
to give effect to any determination that may be come to
by the shareholders in respect of the said application."
The meeting was largely and influentially attended, 4,678
shares having been represented. The chair was filled by
Mr. Anketeil. The following resolution was passed with
one dissentient :—" That the directors of the Belfast
and County Down Railway be requested, and are hereby
authorised, to entered into agreements, and do all such
other acts as may be necessary for contributing or sub-
scribing the sum of 15,0001. sterling to the British and
Irish Junctio❑ Railway, being a line from Castle Douglas
to Portpatrick, with branches to the harbour of Stranraer,
and to the North Pier of Portpatrick harbour; and fur
tiler that the directors of the Belf tst and County Down
Railway be authorised to sign the Parliamentary sub-
scription contract for the British and Irish Junction
Railway, for 15,0001., and pay the deposit of ten per
cent, thereon."

The following announcement appears in Saunders'
News Letter:—" His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant
will return to the Viceregal Lodge on Tuesday, the 30th
inst. His Excellency will embark from Holyhead on
Tuesday afternoon, on the arrival of the express train,
in a special boat belonging to the City of Dublin Steam
Packet Company."
The sales in the Incumbersd Estates Court last week

late Eliot Warburton, author of " The Crescent ani the
Cross," whose melancholy fate is so well known, was
atnompt those who were disposed of.

Sporting Intelligence.

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

The room was thinly attended, and the transactions
were few and far between. For the Two Thousand,
Loyola was much talked about, but not backed ; 4 to 1
was the highest offer against him ; 9 to 2 was wanted.
The betting on the Derby was very limited. The odds
quoted against Lady Hawthorne were taken to 751. The
other investments were in smaller amounts.

I'URF STATISTICS.

PRINCIPAL WINNING HORSES.—Ellington is at the top
•,f the tree, having won 5,725 sovs. Fazzoletto pressing
him very close, only falling 225 soya. short of that sum
Blink Bonny has won more money than any other 2-vr-
old, her ..fight victories being worth 2,235 sovs. Four-
yr-olds—Paletot hiss won 1,800 HOVE. ; Pengeance, 1.390
sows. ; and Fandango, 1,305 soya., and the Newmarket
Cup ; Siding, Shoreham, and Lady Tatton, all clearing
over a thousand each. The six-year-olds have eclipFed
the five-year-olds, thanks to Typee, (who won 1,592
sovs.), and New Brighton (1,260 soya.); the highest
five-year•old being Wiokfield, 885 soya.
PRINCIPAL WINNING OWNERS —Mr. T. Parr has won
53 races, and 8,741 sovereigns (with but eight horses) ;
Messrs. Saxon and Barber, 481 races, and 8,660 sore. ;
Lord Derby, 8 races, and 7,785 sovs. ; Hr. Howard, 22
races, and 6,576 soya. ; Duke of Bedford, 35 races, arid
6,490 sovs ; Admiral Harcourt, 3 races, and 5,990 sovs.;
Lord Ciifden, 24 races, and 5,489 cove.; and Mr. H.
Hill, 31 races, and 5,870 soya. Mr. Jackson's horses
have w,n 241 times ; Mr. Osborne's 45, and Mr. Hen-
derson's 20, though the amount in stakes does not reach
4,000 s five. each.
SUCCESSFUL STALLlONS.—Birdcatcher is a long way
a-head of any other, his progeny having won 72 races,
and 15,987 cove. Next on the list comes Orlando,
with 57 races and 13,874 sovs. ; Melbourne being
next with 521 races, and 11,113 sovs. The Touch-
stone produce winning 411 races ; Flying Dutchman's
331 (though the latter, thanks to Ellington's Derby
victory, passes Touchstone in the value of the
stakes, 10,702 and 10,592 sore. being their winnings),
and Annandale's 37 races and 7,814 sovs. Alarm's

Ballagh's, 34 ; and Gameboy's, 32 ; but they have
missed most of the " good things." Seeing that
Orlando, Annandale, and the host of others are by Touch-
stone, by Camel, that blood must be considered the most
succe-sful of the year.

DEATH OF ALDERMAN LANGSDALE.—LiverpooI,
Motelay.—We regard to announce the death of an old
and valuable member of the community—tine who had
devoted a long life to the public good, and had so lived
ainonq men as to have obtained the esteem and respect
of all who knew him. Mr. Langedale sat in the council
as an alderman of the borough for a number of years,
and had held the office of chairman of the Health
Committee until the formation of the new council,
when his failing health induced him to withdraw
from public life. He had removed to Southport,
and had some intention of proceeding to the South of
France, when he was taken suddenly worse, and (lied
this morning. The flag at the Town-hall, and those upon
other public buildings, have been placed half-mast, as a
sien that death has deprived the town of another old and
va•ued citizen
