Late advises, both by direct arrivals and per Over-
land Mail, have bsen received from Australia, and like
those recently come to hand, they indicated rather a
better state of things. From South Australia they
write :—" It gives us much pleasure to hear that a part
of the Rivoli Bay country is at last about to be occupied
from the South Australian side. The first party, con-
sisting of Messrs. Leake and Scott, with about 10,000
sheep, and upwards of twenty men, have started for
that country, and, we presume, many others will
soon follow. Messrs. Hallett have also secured
extensive runs at Mount Bryan, and intend im-
mediately to send their sheep, consisting of seve-
ral thousand!, to that district. Mount Bryan is about
100 miles from Messrs. Mallet's present station, and 140
miles from town. At one time these gentlemen thought
that no one would go beyond their present runs at the
Wiltshire survey for many years ; at this moment, how-
ever, probably the greater part of the sheep in the co-
lony are beyond that limit. It is evident that the sheep
are increasing beyond all calculation, and it is to be
hoped that the anticipations of an extensive country on
the eastern boundary may be fully realised. Messrs. C.
Campbell and Ellis recently explored a part of the coun-
try to the west of Port Lincoln, but we have heard no
authentic report of the result of their visit—we trust it is
favourable."
From the Cape of Good Hope, under date of July 28,
we learn that the Caffres continued their thefts and out-
rages ; and that the inhabitants were kept in constant
alarm, although no general irruption was anticipated,
The value of property, owing to the increase of the popu-
lation, was gradually rising.
The circular of Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury,
now before us, states that merchandise is unaffected by
the low rate of interest on money, though the capital
embarked in now railways must benefit the manufac-
turers. There is a good home trade doing.

The Foreign Investments are also very inactive.
Dutch Bonds have been very firm ; the Two-and-a-

and where holders yield a little) sales are not difficult to
effect. The French lines arc looking up. Joint-stock

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DA

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Since Monday rather an extensive quantity of Eng-
lish Wheat has reached the Pool from Lincolnshire; but,
as nearly the whole of it has gone direct into the hands
of the millers, the show of that grain was small. For all
descriptions the demand was rather active, at fully pre-
vious rates. The show of foreign Wheat was by no
means large, and a fair amount of business was doing is
that article, at full prices. The supply of Barley was
only moderate. The finest malting parcels were in re-
quest at full currencies ; but the inferior kinds were
rather dull. Malt was a steady sale, but without any
advance in prices. Oats were the turn dearer, owing to
the short supply of Irish. Beans, Peas, and Flour as
last quoted.

In our market the supply of Beasts offering was sea-
sonably large, but of very inferior quality. The attend-
ance of buyers being very small, the Beef trade was ex-
ceedingly dull, at barely Monday's depressed currencies.
There were on sale 35 Beasts and 40 Sheep from Rotter-
dam, in very middling condition. The arrivals from
Scotland since our last have embraced 110 Scots and 40
Sheep. The supply of Sheep was small, yet the Mutton
trade was unusually dull, at barely stationary prices.
Calves were somewhat on the increase, compared with
the supplies broight forward on some previous days, and
the rates had a downward tendency. In Pigs very little
was doing, at 'ate rates. Milch Cows sold heavily, at
from 161 to 19155, including their small Calf.
