THE POLICE BILL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—As yet I cannot learn that a clause (which you
suggested a few weeks ago) has been added to the Coun-
ties and Boroughs Police Bill, for the purpose of check-
ing the present unconstitutional power with which chief
constables are clothed. They can, without the least
fear of rebuke from any quarter (except the public
press), punish their men, of every class, most unjustly,
and those so treated have no tribunal to which they
can make complaint—not even the magistracy, I am in-
formed. Here's a spaciou4 door thrown open for chief
constables to play the petty tyrant ! Police constables
are forbid that justice which servants of every descrip-
tion c in demand and receive.

If, by the present Police Bill, no control is put upon
this scandalous power of chief constables, it will be a
lasting disgrace to every member of that Government,
and to every member of the Legislature.

THE CASE OF WILLIAM. .PALITER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,---I trust you will allow me to state that a pamph•
let, entitled "The Cries of the Condemned, or Proofs of
the Unfair Trial and (if executed) the Legal Murder of
William Palmer, &c., by Thomas Wakley, Esq., Coro-
ner," is a vile fabrication, and that I never saw a line of
it until this day, when it was sent to me in print.—
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
London, June 7, 1856. THOMAS WAKLEY.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.
INDIA AND AUSTRALIA.
TRIESTE, SUNDAY.
The steamer Australia arrived here to-day,
having made the passage from Alexandria in 106
hours. The latest date from Alexandria is there-
fore the 3d of June.
The India mail had arrived at Alexandria, and
was to leave that port on the sth inst., bringing
intelligence from Calcutta to the 4th of May, and
from Bombay to the 12th of May. There is also
news from Melbourne, by way of Ceylon, to the
28th of March.
Trade in India was generally dull, but there
was a good demand for shipping, and the cotton
market was active. The exchange at Bombay
was at 2s. lid., and at Calcutta it was at Is. Old.
The money market was tight.
The price of gold at Melbourne had risen to
31. 18s. 6d. per oz. The exchange on London
was at 2 per cent. premium. The coinage at the
New South Wales Mint was at a loss of 1i per
cent, to the colony.
The shipments from Melbourne in the week
ending March 28 included 60,827 ounces of gold
and 10,0001. in specie, by the Morning Star,
bound to Bristol ; and 45,672 ounces of gold,
with 110,0001. in specie, by the George Marshall,
bound to London. The amount of the shipments
which had been made to England during five
weeks is no less than 337,000 ounces of gold and
350,0001. in specie.
The gold fields are yielding more largely than
ever, at the rate of nearly twenty millions sterling
per annum. The produce of the first three months
of 1856 was nearly double that of the correspond-
ing period of 1855.
Trade at Melbourne continues steady ; the
balance is in favour of the colony ; the value of
the exports for five weeks being 1,917,0001.,
against an amount of 1,400,0001. in imports.
The price of all the necessaries of life moderate,
and the want of labourers being generally felt
emigrants from England are invited to come out.
Melbourne having been deprived for 108 days
of any advices from England, the legislature of
Victoria has been urged to take measures for the
establishment of a regular and speedy steam-packet
communication, and the sum of 75,0001. has been
voted for that purpose.
In New South Wales, as well as in the pro-
vince of Victoria, it appears that the attempts to
bring the constitutional system of responsible go-
vernment into working order have not in the first
instance been very successful.
There is also some intelligence from New Zea-
land, where, although the natives in the neigh-
bourhood of Taranaki were still in a disquieted
state at the latest date of our news, the colony in
general continues to enjoy as much peace and
prosperity as the other provinces of the Australian
group.
