THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
' There are this week trifling supplies of English Grain,
and another considerable quantity of Foreign Oats. The
Wheat trade remains very dull at the prices of Monday.
Barley looks downward, having so trifling a demand.
Beans and Pease are unaltered. Oats find few buyers, and
the quantity for sale being large, occasions the trade still
to remain very heavy, but prices are not lower than on
Monday. Flour very dull sale.

STATE OF SOCIETY AT BOTANY BAY.—
When strolling through the streets of Sydney, on first land-
ing, very singular reflections will naturally intrude upon
the mind, on perceiving the perfect safety with which you
may jostle through the crowds of individuals now suffering,
or who have suffered, the punishment awarded by the law
for their offences ; men banished often for the deepest
crimes, and with whore, in England, you would shudder
to come in contact. Elbowed by some daring highway-
man on your left hand, and rubbed shoulders with by even
a more desperate burglar on your right ; a footpad perhaps
stops your way in front, and a pickpocket pushes you be-
hind,--all retired from their wonted vocations, and now
peacefully complying with the tasks imposed upon them, or
following quietly up the even path pointed out by honest
industry. But nothing will surprise you more than the
quietness'and order which prevail in the streets, and the
security wherewith you may perambiLte them at all hours
of the night, indifferently watched as they are, and possess-
ing so many convenient situations wherein robbers may
conceal themselves, pounce upon you, and make their es-
cape with their booty without even a chance of detection.
Brick walls, however, afford but a sorry defence against
our expert and ingenious burglars, who will pick a hole
through one of such in a very few minutes—no part of a
house being safe ; back, front, and gable proving all equally
inviting. They will effect a breach with a celerity and
silence which few new-comers feel disposed to give credit
to, until they awake some morning vestless and bootless,
and on prying round in quest of their stray habiliments,
find themselves unexpectedly assisted in the search by the
fiiendly face of day-light, now peeping through a port-hole
in the wall, where no daylight bad peeped before. Stone
walls are therefore generally preferred for warehouses
and stores, where articles of value have to be deposited.--
