We hava receive.' a copy of the Melbourne _4rgus
of April 15, being a month later than the dates --of

our previous intelligence.

Mush activity prevailed in the gold market, the
demand for shipment being considerable. It is

stated :

The banks have been buying at prices calen'ated on
the basis of 31. 134. 3d. per our.ce for standard, which
brings the cost delivered in England to from 3/, 17s.
51d. to 3/. 17e. 81d., according to the route by is blob it
is conveyed, and taking into account the chances of
of interest by the shorter one.
The Norfolk sailed ou the let inst. with 82,570 ounces
and the Royal Charter on the 11th into., with 93 732
ounce•. These are the largest shipmenti that bare been
made Muse that by the Suffolk, in October last of 112, 446
ounces.

The escort returns have fully roaistained the increase
which followed the termination of the long period of
drought which prevailed during the sumager. The
quantities from all the district: will bear comparison
with those of last year. The t )tal of last week's returns
is above the average of the past three months, although
still below that of the year 1857.
Total for the year, 609.021 oz., or 29 tons 2 cwte.
2 qrs. 1 lb. 9 oz., the value of which at 41. per ounce,
*mounts to the sum of 2,796,0841.
The non-arrival of the Columbian had created
very great dissatisfaction, and the Legislative As-
sembly of Victoria had unanimously passed a r,2-
solution calling on the imperial government to
cancel the contract. Thee publication of the re-
venue returns bad tended greatly to keep up the
buoyancy of the money market. The total revenue
for the year ended 31st March was 3,402,0001.
against 2,982,0001. in 1857. The customs revenue
showed a large increase, but imports continued
greatly in excess of consumption.
The tenders for the great railway works had been
opened with the following results :—There were
three tenders for the whole works : one from
Messrs. Randle and Holmes, for 7,010,3241, pay-
ment to be made in cash ; one from Messrs. John
Musson and Co., for 5,826,223/., payment to be
made in cash, or in 6 per cent. debentures at par;
' and another from Messrs. Cornish and Co., for
5,449,2024, payment to be made in cash, or in 6
per cent. debentures at par. The whole of the ten-
ders were subsequently handed over to a committee
composed of the professional head of the Public
Works Department, the engineer-in-chief, and the
professional head of the Survey Department, to be
analysed previously to the Government being called
on to decide on their reception or rejection. Mr.
Gal:Vie-Ili gave in a tender in conjunction with Sir
S. Motion Peto, but in consequence of informality
it WU not received.

While a grand scheme of railways was under con-
sideration, the electric telegraph was rapidly con-
necting the Australian colonies. The Argus states :
We are in correspondence by the electric wire with all
our gold fields and with all the principal towns of the
interior. Our telegraphic system has penetrated the
northern colony of New South Wales, and reached the
boundary of South Australia. In the course of a few
weeks, the submarine cable will place us in communica-
tion with the neighbouring island of Tasmania.
The Congregationalists of Victoria had deter-
mined, under the advice of Mr. Binney, to depute
the Rev. Mr. Poore to England for 13 ministers..

MELBOURNE COMMERCIAL INTELLI-

(FENCE.

Arran 15.
In the local money-market there is little new to
remark. Capital is plentiful, and it is believed that
the power to absorb the Government debentures for
the railway loan has been under-estimated. Large
sums are continually offering for mortgage on good
property, but in commercial circles the c'ntinued
check given to the credit system is causing some
tightness. The banks charge for bills under 95
days' currency, 8 per cent. ; from 95 to 125 dart,
9 per cent. ; over 125 days, 10 per cent. ; and on
overdrawn accounts, 10 per cent.
Exchange on England is, at all the banks, at 1
per cent. for 60 days' sight ; for amounts under 50/.
at 14 per cent. premium for 30 days' sight. Freight
on gold, by direct steamers or sAilieg vessels, 3d.
per ounce, deliverable in London ; insurance, 11
per cent.; by the overland route, a per cent.—that
is, 7d. per ounce, as nearly as possible.
The import trade was as dell as it well could be,
and transactions in the main unprofitable. Gold
mining by machinery offered such prospects of suc-
cess that Mr. Gabrielli had originated a scheme of a
company with a capital of one million, the objects
of which will be " to give the miners the opportu-
nity of obtaining capital at a moderate interest, to
purchase the cheapest and most effective machinery,
and of Iro ecuting their work upon the most cco-

ST. BARNABAS, PIMLICO.

As was to be expected, this church was densely
crowded in expectation that some allusion would
b., made to the events which have recently come
I)( fare the public with respect to the Rev. Alfred
Poole and his prac.ices at the Confessional. This
expectation was not di-appointed. I. appears that
the supporters of the church are more than com-
monly irritate d by the fact that tLe meeting at
which the Hon. and Rev. F. Baring detail( d the
proc:edings of the late curate was held on the feast
of S'. Barnabas, their patron s tint, and at a period
when they wt ro end. avouring -to collect subscrip-
tions for permanently endowing the church and
making the district an indep naeut parish. Whether
the blow was purpos-ly administered at this con-
jtinc:uee and whether it has bad any effect on the
finances of the church we cannot tell. Suffice it to
sty that the spirit of St. Barnabas is fully roused if
we are to judge by the sermon which was &livered
yesterday. Ou approaching the church it was easy
to see that the occasion was in s-me way extra-
ordinary. The building was crowded, the seats
being occupied seemingly by regular frequenters,
while behind them, up to the door and almost into
the street, were packed a number of persons, evi-
dently strangers, and attraeed by curiosity, or pct.-
haps a most hostile feeling. Two or three police-
men were in waiting, underthe command of au en-
thusiastic old verger (we may be mistaken as to the
exact ecclesiological term), who freely catered into
conversation with the ultra-notes ants near the
door, but when these disch-st-d their views bi idled
up and threatened them with the constable. The
service proceeded as usual, and the Rev. Mr.
Ingle ascended the pulpit. He was, the verger
said, "a strange clergyman—we always have
strange clergymen during festival." By this the
verger meant that he was from another pat ish ; but
on a Protestant remarking that " indeed he was a
very strange clergyman," our friend became highly
indignant. The p.O .cher at once showed bid mettle.
Ile took for his text the Sixth C...mmandineet,
" Thou shalt not kill," or, as we are informed, it
was otly-Twise translated, " Thou shalt do nu
murder." This, of course, was by the usual pro-
cuss of theological torsion, interpreted to refer to
murder of souls, murder of goad enterprises,
murder of reputatians, and so on. Mr. Ingle did
however, enter into any details, or in any way
deny or explain the evidence on which the bishop
acted. He contented himself with declaring that
whoever insinuated any moral guilt to Mr. Poole,
or endeavoured to binder the ecclesiastical system
as established in the district, was guilty of the in
of murder. As we have said, the last few days [ive
been a festival at St. Barnabas. The church is more
than usu illy bedecked with flowers, and the initials
"S. 8.," with the interpretation " The Son of
Consolation," are placed in a conspicuous place. In
oor,nexion with this festival a collection was to be
made, and in aid of it the preacher addressed the
congregation. He said that the church of St. Bar-
nabas more than ever demanded their support, as
it was not merely the dui ch of a district, but in
some sense the church of the whole country, for
from it went forth an influence which perme fed
the land. As long as St. Barnabas and its system
remained the battle with the wickedness and irre-
verence of the time would be fought throughout the
country. The friends of God's holy Catholic truth
looked on St. Barnabas as their centre and model.
Let them take courage Not men nor devils
would be able to prevail against them,
What they should -do now was to subscribe
generously, so as to obta'n a permanent endow.
ment, and to give Sr. Et/washes an incumbent whom
elo-
quencein
it should be out of the power of any individual,
however elevated, to remove. The preacher eon-
eluded a sermon of muctiveiavraecristyto ve ereanpderssoe m
beseeching

h,
and so put to silence the
ignorance of foolish men. Beyond a few ejactila-
their courseby of w
tory exclamations from persons near the door at
the most spirited hits of Mr. Ingle there was no
iaanitestation of feeling whatever.
