SYDNEY.

By the ship Evoretta, Captain Darley, we have
received papers from Sydney to the end of April, and
from Port Phillip.to the 14th of May.
The prominent news from Sydney is the revival of
differences between the Shareholders and Managers of
the British Colonial Loan and Discount Company, in
consequence of the refusal of the acting conductor,
Mr. Wright, to allow an inspection of the Company's
accounts on the requisition of a local board. In con-
sequence of this refusal, the requisitionists had deter-
mined upon calling a public meeting, to take the mat-
ter into consideration. The unpleasantness arising
out of this business was not confined to the. feeling
now exhibited against investigation, but agam resus-
citatedthe question of the issue of scrip, which occur-
red some time since, and which, upon being forced
upon the London market in the shape of remittances,
I and refused substantial acknowledgement by the Di-
rectors, threatened for the moment the dissolution of
the Company, and would no doubt have occasioned
such a result had it not been timely averted and made
a matter of mutual negotiation between the parties
interested. The Union Bank was in a more satisfac-
tory position, for, exercising due caution, they took ad-
ditional security, and IN ere thereby saved against loss.
Another subject occupying a conspicuous place in
the columns of the Sydney press was the ill-usage
certain females had received on board two emigrant
vessels„. on their passage out. The Carthaginian is
one of the vessels,
.the Captain and surgeon of which
had been tried and imprisoned for an unprovoked
assault on. a Young woman named Margaret Ann
Bolton. Another vessel is alluded to as having been
the scene of crimes of a much greater enormity, and
inquiry was also going on in that matter. Affirmed
as
.it is, by these papers that these are not solitary
instances of the practices prevalent among the crews-,
and those who have the charge of emigrant vessels,it is by no means unadvisable for those who have
the misfortune to seek their acquaintance to be well

From Port Phillip the news comes that a successful
1 expedition against the Bushrangers had been made,
their ringleaders were captured, and several had al-
ready appeared before the local judges, and were
i doomed to pay the penalty of their crimes, murder
and depredation. The revenue returns for the first
quarter of the year showed the Customs' receipts to
be 12,6731. 10s. Bd., the value of imports 108,159/.,
and the value of exports 90,2981. The wool exported
was 10,000 bales, or 2,500,0001 b. On the state of the
weather, it was observed that the late :rains were
general, which induced the hope of large
supplieti of
domestic necessaries, though the feed for cattle was
not very plentiful. The condition of the markets is
not reported satisfactory, the price of stock fluctuated
considerably, the competition of sales uloler the Sheriff
producing a severe action upon the quotations made
by the graziers, who, while submitting to the reduc-
tion in the first instance, took the earliest opportu-
nity that offered for forcing up the market.
