posed as candidates fur the fellowship ; and Dr. Fuchs-
ran, of the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle of Paris, as a

INCREASED EXPORTS To AUSTRALlA.—Notwithstand-
ing the advices received from our Australian colonies
for several months past have spoken of a glut of goods
in those markets, we find from the government returns
of the exports from the United Kingdom, that during
the 11 months of 1857, ending Nov. 30, a marked in-
crease has, nevertheless, taken place in all the different
articles of shipment to these dependencies, with the
single exception of soap, in which there has been a fall-
ing off to the extent of 39,9641., as compared with the
11 months ef 1856 The total value of the exports
amount to 7,218,2421. for the period mentioned of the
year just passed, whereas during the same months of
1856 the aggregate declared value was 5,396,529/, being
consequently a balance excess of 1,821,7131., after allow-
ing fir the deficiency in soap as stated. Articles with
which the mining interests are closely associated take
the first rank, and furnish a total of 1,453,3071. under
the head of "metals"—that is, iron, lead, tin, and in
chinery, which is an augmentation over 1856 of 221,720
Next in importance as to value comes leather goods and
saddiery, with an amount of 1,318,690/. against 874,467/.
is 1856. Beer, ale, and spirits amount to 1,256,5991.,
being an increase of 1:01,237/. ; apparel and slops give a
total of 1,107,6341., and an excess of 246,540/. ; haber-
dashery and it illir=ery furnish a sum of 707,553/., which
is 180,591/. over 1856 ; linens, cottons, and mixed stuffs
were forwarded to the value of 625,3871., being an in-
crease of 86,431/. ; silk goods are declared at 184,9221,
an augmentation of 69,145/. ; woollens amount to
114,399/., which is 29,644/. over the previous year ;
stationery gives 198,598/, being an excess of 26,398/. •
earthenware furnishes a total of 121,050/ , which is
13,155/. ever 1856 ; and oil seed, 33,1031, which is an
addition of 12,5931. to the amount shipped in the 11
months of 1856. The value of soap in this period of
1856 was only 20,009/. against 59,9731 in 1856, and
the deficiency is as stated at the commencement of these
remarks.—Mining Journal, JAE. 2.

MANCHESTER -JAN. 7.

There was about an average attendance to-day, and the
best qualities of English and American wheat met a fair
demand at an amendment of is per qr and ld to 2d per
701bs, but in other sorts no improvement. Flour in' some
instances held for an advance of ls. Oats and oatmeal
moved of at a slow sale, at the rates of last week. Eng-
lish beans and barley a better sale.
