The following is from Messrs. S. ►fir. Silver and Co.'s
Colonial Circular :—" Victoria, Nov. 27, 1867. Trade
has considerably improved. In breadstuff:, during
the past fortnight about 36,000 bushels of wheat, and
1,600 tons of !lour have been quitted. Sugars have
been dealt in extensively ; 28,500 bags of Mauritius
and about 16,3)0 bags of Bourbon have changed
hands. In wool, 7,187 bales were sold in Melbourne,
and over 900 in Geelong ; prices, 7d to 121,1 for
grease, and 11:1-d to 2•4-d for fleece. The J. M.
Joshua and the Australian sailed for London
on the 23d, the former taking 4,753, and
the latter 4,948 bales of wool. The Duke
of Edinburgh had a splendid reception on the 25th.
On landing at Sandridgo ho was received by the
Governor-General Chute, &c., proceeded thence by
road to Melbourne, where the Presdent of the Legis•
lative Council presented an address in the presence
of 40,000 persons. 'Tie city was illuminated at
night. A 37 oz. nugget of solid gold was taken from
German's Claims, Jericho, since last adviccs.
30,000 oz. of gold passed through Kilmore last week
with the Beechworth, Jamieson, and Gbin Ghln
escorts. On 30th Sept. the number of mines in
the colony was 66,243, of whom 18,092 were
Chinese. The area of the land mined upon •
818 square miles, and the quartz reefs reported to
be auriferous, 2,421. The largest number of miners
aro employed at Ballarat (13,871), Castlemaine and
Sandhurst come next in order. A fitvourable change in
the weather has removed the fears entertained by the
farmers ; and, although rust exists i❑ many early fields
of wheat, the late crops promise so well that it is anti.
cipated the supply will again exceed the demand for
home consumption. It is estimated that the
fat sheep in Victoria and the adjoining parts
of New South Wales are 3,000,000 in excess of the
present carrying capabilities of the land ; boiling
down continues in all parts of the colony, but on too
small a scale. Victorian Railway revenue for
October, £16,956 ; Melbourne and Hobson Bay Rail-
way, for week ending 14th November, £1,968 against
£2,190 last year. Imports to 16th, £9,801,723
against £12,233,454 last year. Exports, £9,688,348
against £10,040,723 in 1866. Exchange on London
at par Bills, discounted three months, at 7 per cent.
four months, 8 per cent.

TILE WRECK OF TIIE BUBULINA.—SinCe the loss
of this steamer by explosion continuous efforts have been
made to raise the sections of the wreck from the middle
of the bed of the Mersey, where it is a serious impedi-
ment to the navigation, but hitherto without success.
Efforts are now being made to raise and move the wreck
by degrees, until at length it is beached on the Cheshire
shore. The work is necessarily slow, but it proceeds
satisfactorily.

REMOVAL OF THE MAGDALEN HOSPITAL.--The
old Magdalen Hospital, which has been established very
many years for the reception of " unfortunates," and the
reclaiming of fallen women, is about to be removed from
its present locality in the Blackfriars-road to Streatham,
and the committee appointed to make arrangements for the
new institution have secured an eligible site, and rapid pro-
gress is.being made for the removal of the old Magdalen
and the erection of the new bailding.
SINGULAR OCCURRENCE AT A SALE.—At the
Hotel Drouot, Paris, the other day, a singular occurrence
took place. At a sale of autographs were put up a draft
of the will of Anne of Austria—another paper containing
the inventory of the jewels of that Queen preserved in
the Palace of the Louvre ; the will of the painter Mig-
nard, drawl.' up by himself ; and that of the painter
Bigaud. A notary stepped forward, and claimed thew
documents as having been taken from among the papers
in his office, and ho opposed the sale by virtue of an order
which he had procured from the President of the Civil
Tribunal. The claimant has brought an action for the
recovery of these documents.

SAD CATASTROPIIE.—A terrible occurrence is re-
ported from Mantes (Seine et Oise), in which 19 persons
have lost their lives. A countryman named Fouchot laid
a wager that he would drive a heavily laden hay waggon
across the Seine on the ice. When half way over, the
vehicle stopped and 28 persons wont to the aid of the
driver. Suddenly the ice gave way under the weight and
all were swallowed up. Two boatmen, Bourdet Pinagues
and llottot, succeeded in saving nine parsons, but the
othcr:i were drowned. Among the victims NM M. Oanat,
the mayor of rorte/wille.
