There are a few papers to Sertember 11, from Sydney,
and to August 12, from Port Philip. The accounts repre-
sent trade as quiet, but the crops and clip of wool, from
their abundance, may bring the colonists round. The ad-
vices, we believe, are not quite so late as one or two letters
received overland.

Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cer.ts. are 63 to 1/i.
The Share Market is not so good, being influenced by the

PENRYN FLOATING HARBOUR.—We have much
satisfaction in stating that there is every probability that the Board
of Admiralty will sanction the proposed plans for rendering Penult
River a floating harbour with all necessary conveniences for ware-
housing goods, &c., Mr. Walker, their engineer, having, we under-
stand, made a report in favour of this national project. The official
document may be expected shortly.—Falmouth Packet

GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER RAlLWAY.—Yester-
day an accident trifling in its ultimate result, but of great and,immi-
nent danger at the moment of its occurrence, was well nigh marring
the hopes and wishes of the partisans of this railway. The return
train at nine o'clock having arrived in full speed in fifteen minutes
from Rochester, the carriages were unhooked at the terminus, when
the engine, unchecked in its velocity—the break not having as it
seems been put 9h—darted through the great gates at the terminus,
which were closed, and, to the terror and dismay of the multitude
outside, proceeded to within three feet of the edge of the basin of the
canal, which fronts the gates within about a hundred and fifty
yards of them, where an obstruction fortunately checked the en-
gine's progress, and saved -it from immersion in the basin, which in
this place is nineteen feet deep. During the day not less than
four hundred people went between Gravesend and Rochester by the
railway, and nut twenty by the coaches and omnibuses plying between
those towns.

TUE ROYAL SLEDGE.—WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—In
consequence of the heavy fall of snow at Brighton (which appears
to have been general throughout the country) during a great part of
yesterday, a special messenger was dispatched from the Pavilion to
Windsor last evening, with her Majesty's commands for the royal
sledge and ponies to he forwarded to Brighton without delay, for the
use of the Queen • and Prince Consort. The magnificent sledge and
splendid pair of ponies, which have been trained for sledge-driving,
left Windsor this morning early, for Slough, proceeding thence by
the first up-train to Paddington, to arrive at the London-bridge
terminus of the Brighton Railway in time for the half-past ten o'clock
train, and to reach Brighton between twelve and one o'clock. An
immense quantity of snow fell throughout this neighbourhood during
the past night, in many places to the depth of between two and three
feet. Should a rapid thaiv set In, there is no doubt that the low
lands, especially in the vicinity of the Thames, will be flooded to a
great extent.

His Majesty the King of Hanover has become a
member of the .New Conservative Club House, st. James's-street,
which will be opened on Tuesday, the 18th inst..
ATTEMPT TO SET FIRE TO THE QUEEN'S THEATRE,
MANCHESTER—MANCHESTER, MONDAY.—Yesterday morning, about
six o'clock, flames were discovered issuing fl-orn underneath the ~large
stage-door at the back of the Queen's Theatre. An alarm was im-
rnmediately given, and by the prompt assistance of the persons pre-
sent it was speedily extinguished, when it was found that some com-
bustible, materials had bsen thrust under the door, and could only
have been recently ignited. The damage done is very trifling. A
reward of M. has been offered by the police for the discovery of the
party. It Is only nine, months ago that the Theatre Royal of thl
town wxa burnt down, and strong suspicion now exists that that itlu
