SYDNEY.

Sydney Papers to the 18th of May have arrived. A
society has been formed there, under the denomination ot.
" The Australian Steam Conveyance Company," the ob-
ject of which is to promote the more extensive application
of steam machinery to conveyance, both by water and by
land. The first undertaking of the Company was to
establish a steam-packet of 12. horse power between Sydney
and Paramatta, the cost of which, including boat, engine,
and all appurtenances, was estimated not to exceed 2,000/.,
and the whole was to be manufactured, as far as prac-
ticable, within the colony. The capital was to be raised
by 400 transferable shares of 51. each, and no individual
was to hold more than 20 shwas. Three hundred shares
were already taken up by the residents in Sydney.
The Sydney College, in its main building, was fast ap-
proaching completion, and a few weeks more was expected
to render it available as a temporary school-house, with
accommodation for a master.

The Sydney agricultural report for April states, that
the rain which bad succeeded the protracted drought had
produced a gratifying change, making th, ground in ex.
cellent order for sowing wheat ; and what was above
ground was materially improved in appearance and pro-
mise. Much of the early maize had been gathered, and,
apparently, the crop was more abundant than was antici-
pated. fobacco plants bad also produced a larger crop
than was expected from the prevalence of extreme dry
weather. Seed oats were in much request among the
the agriculturists. The pasturage in general was very
scanty, and it was feared that the rains of the latter end of
April were too late to effect its restoration before the
winter frosts set in.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, SEPT. 21.
—There was a strong disposition manifested by some
holders of cotton in the earlier part of the week to sell,
and they accepted pikes which were Id. to I 1. per lb.
below those obtainable within the last month. This de-
cline tempted buyers to come forward anti to purchase;
and themgh the demand of Monday and Tuesday has not
been maintained for the last day or two, yet confidence
has not again disappeared, and the market, though now
quiet, is steadier than it was at the beginning of the week.
The Surats offered by auction yesterday were for the most
part taken in, and the few lots which were sold went off
at d. to id. per lb. decline from the highest paint of the.
market. The sales of the week, including 400 bales
American on speculation, amounted to 6,720 bags—im-
port 12,356 bags. To-day the sales amount to only 300
or 400 bags.
