MONE Y AND COMMERCIAL NE WS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was heavy,
and prices were rather lower. Sales, 4,000 bales.—A
considerable amount of business was done in Shares, and
the market was firmer. Chester and Birkenhead, 34 ;

The Bank of England weekly statement shows a de-
crease of 219,875/. in the circulation, and of 136,7031. in
the total amount of bullion ; an increase of 1,511/. in the
rest; of 716,6201 in the National deposits; anti 79,3214 in
the seven day bills, but a decrease in the general deposits
of 224,9991. The securities held have been angmented
by the amount of nearly a million steeling, and the nutes
by half that sum.
Papers of April 27 direct from Port Phillip have been
received to-day. The editors and colonists continue to
dwell upon the injustice of the land regulations just pro-
mulgated, and state that in Port Phillip the whole of a
settler's property is centered in Government land, he is
not allowed to purchase a homt stead, and he is compelled
to build upon, fence in, and cultivate the land which he
holds upon license. Now it must be evident that the most
industrious settler will be he who will suffer most by the
new regulations. He will run the risk of being ex•
polled from house and home every twelve months. /
fle spends 100/. in improvements the one year, he wi.
be compelled to purchase these very improvements
every year afterwards, or accept the alternative of aban-
doning his property to another without a penny of com-
pensation, and go forth into the world an exiled beggar,
to curse the abominable tyranny of a grasping, unprin-
cipled Government. If such a system be carried out in the
spirit ill which it is conceived, the tree Sons of Australia
Felix may live to envy the lot of the serfs of Siberia. But
hearths and homes are not so easily abandoned, and Go-
vernments frequently learn by bitter experience what
they cannot gather from the voice of reason or argu-
ment. If the system be carried out as it has been con-
ceived, the whole interior of Australia Felix will become
a desert, it will be abandoned as quickly as it has been
occupied. The aborigines will be restored to their
rights, and the settler will melt down his property in
order to realise as much as will pay his passage to some
other country where the " brigand" system of govern-
ment is not in operation.
The Australians seem very anxious that their friends
in the mother-country should aid them in their endea-
vours to obtain from Lord Stanley a modification of the
unwise measures proposed.
No less than four coasting vessels from Sydney had
been wrecked within a short time, and it was hoped, as
the natives had made the most strenuous and successful
exertions to save the crews, and manifested the best
feeling towards the white man, the Government would
not be slow to reward them.
