The mail from South Australia brings advices to
the 26th of April. The Northern Territory question
still engages attention, and Port Dawson is now, it is
said, represented to be an El Dorado. The surveys
are rapidly advancing, and the pioneers will soon be
expected back. But the question who is to colonize
this tropical territory still apparently remains un-
answered. With regard to the legal contention, the
discontented land-order holders are denounced as
" obstructive, vexatious, and unreasonable in the
evreine," and a course of colonial litigation, ulti-
mately to be carried to the Pi ivy Council, where the
Government have " confidence that they will be
able to wake out a good case against the present
Cain:tants," seems to be fort shadowed. The South
A.ustral'an -Alining Association (Burnt Barra) has
been reconstituted. The proposal is to regard the
present capital of £12,323 in 2,•164 shares of £5 each
as equivalent to .F... 61,6000 ; or, in other voids, that
every holder of one share is to have five shares in
the new concern, and that further shares be issued
to bring up the capital to £lOO,OOO. There is to
be a register of shares in London, and an English
Board of advice. The colonial revenue for the
first quarter of 1869 had amounted to £184,387,
and the expenditure to £206,382. The expendi-
ture during 1868 on public works was £244,052,
of which £201,110 was borrowed. Wheat is quoted
4s. 11d. per bushel ; flour, £l3 per ton. The
banks sold their,draughts on London at 60 days
sight at per cent. pm., and bought at 1 per cent.
discount.

At the meeting yesterday of the Anglo-American
Telegraph Company (limited) the directors' report
was adopted, and a dividend of 17s. per share de-
clared, making, with the interim dividends already
announced, a total payment of 475. for the year
ending April last. The chairman stated that the
average receipts have gone on increasing satisfac-
torily, and he expressed a belief that the company
has nothing to fear from the competition of the
French undertaking. Ile added that with the re-
duced tariff there will be a large increase in the
number of messages, and that a very satisfactory
arrangement had been come to with the Postmaster
General with regard to the transmission of mes-
sages.
