AUSTRALIAIV CEREALS AND MINERALS.

The statistical accounts from South Australia are
highly patisfactory, and show that the steady reliance
cn, and the substantial development of, its three
staple productions of corn, wool, and copper gives it
great commercial weighl-, as respects the other Aus-
tra'ian dependencies, in its transactionswith this and
other countries. We find during the past year its pro-
gress has been most remarkjale in comparison with
its sister colonies. Within twelve mouths it has
doubled its exports. In 1855 the total declared
value of the prodnco Of the colony shipped from its
pots was 686,953 k, while in 1856 the amount was
1,398,3671. ' •
Notwithstanding that as yet no remunerative
gold fields have been met with in South Australia,
its comma.cial advance is much more marked than
that of Victoria, with-its extraordinary yield of the
precious metals ; for scarcely any excess of sh;p-
ments are shown in 1356 as compared with 1855 in
the returns from that colony, demonstrating, there
fore, clearly that while the Victorians have been
neglecting agricultural development, the South
A.ustralians have not departed from the more staple
occupations to search for gold, and have been fully
rewarded by the great yield of cereal productions, to
an extbnt,-in fact, equivalent in benefit to the result
of gold workings in Victoria, when the difference Of
population is considered. It is argued, and appa-
rently with much force, that although Victoria,
with its numerous gold fields, and large yield of
the precious metals, has produced in the aggregate
a great amount of we dth to the inhabitai.ts, yet,
taking into consideration tha vast number of bands
thus employed, and the distribution of the wealth
among that number, the sister colony of South
Australia, wi-h its couipatatively limited popula-
tion, has yielded even greater wealth by its agri-
cultural and animal productions, apart fi (An its vast
supply of copper.—Mining Journal.

SUMMARY POSTPONEMENT OF A SALE.--As anything
connected With the affairs o Culane' Waugh has now
become as it were public property, it may not be out of
place it we give the particulars of a little circumstance
that occurred on Thursday, at Lytcbet Matravers, just
as related to us. It appears that the colonel occupied,
up to the time of his " smash," a farm called Castle
Farm, and that he had hired a bailiff from the north of
England to manage it, wh,, however, has en far given
months' service without any consideration. A san
of the-stock and effects WAS announced for three o'clock
on Thursday afiertmon last, by Mr. Clark, aucionecr, 05
Wicaborne, without reserve, under a distroec fur rent,
owing to R. Trencbard, Eq. Consequently a goodly
Lumber of persons assembled, with the view, doubt-
less, of meeting with a bargain or two ; but ju;t
before the hour named a fly and pair of horses drove up
at full gall p from Poole, and out jumped Mr. Spillman,
an auctioneer from the euetropcl.s, and Mr. Knight, the
high-ba liff, from the former place, by whom a notice of
rspleviis was handed in. Mr. Clark at first refused to
relinquish his authority over the goods, but be was
'Politely lyinded off .the premises by the high-bailiff, and
ell the would be•purcha:er4 hail to follow. Every one
grumbled loud and deep .at the disappaintment, and at
tie bss of • tirrio they had thus uselessly eustained. It
is said that Mr. Spillman had previoatly announced the
.sale. for Saturday, on which day he at•ended, and all was
sold in about an hchir, most of the corn being bought in.
On whose suit Mr. Spillman ultimately sold orr inkr-
want does not say; - but there is little dcztit it WaS in
