AUSTRALIA

By the Overland Mail we have intelligence from Aus-
tralia three days later than by the Victoria. The Cleopatra
steamer was to sail early in October, or simultaneously
with the Shanghae, by which the present advices have
reached England.
The future constitution of Sydney occupies all the public
attention in that colony. The widest divergence of opinion,
from the perpetuation of the British constitution to the
most downright republicanism and demagoguism, is to be
found ; but it does not seem likely that the " popular
party," as the scheming Democrats are pleased to call
themselves, have the shadow of a chance that their plans
will be embodied. In Sydney—that is to say, the town—
they have the support of a compact body of £lO house-
holders, who control the elections, and who exhibit a
miserable want of sagacity and discrimination in their
choice of representatives. But out of Sydney there is no
such thing as Radicalism. The nature of colonial pursuits,
and the peculiar agrarian circumstances of this colony,
render it impossible; and moreover, everybody is so well
off; and so busy at money getting, that political grievances,
the Radicals' only stock in trade, are not cared for at all.
Mr. Wentworth is the impersonation of the aristocratic
party,which seems to have the greatest power and influence
(From the Melbourne Argus, Sept. 26.)
No change of importance has occurred in our market
since the publication of our commercial report on Friday
last. Gold has remained stationary during the week, the
demand for shipment by the Victoria and the Roxburgh
Castle having kept the price steady at £3 16s 9d., until
Saturday, when it fell to £3 16s. 6d., purchases having
been closed.

The ringleaders of the daring gang of mounted highway-
men who stopped the M'lvor gold escort and plundered it
of nearly £lO,OOO of treasure, in July last, have been
brought to justice. They were notorious London thieves,
who had been transported to the colony, and were known
by the names of George Melville, George Wilson, and
William Atkins. The trial commenced on the 18th of
September, and occupied two days. One of their party,
named John Francis, had turned approver. The gang had
attacked the escort by firing from an ambush, wounding
several persons, and killing some of the horses. At the
close of the evidence, Mr. Justice Williams summed up,
and the jury returned a verdict of guilty against the
whole of the prisoners.—Sentence of death was then re-
corded, the judge holding out not the least hopes of mercy.
The news from Bendigo is, that things are going on
well, and general satisfaction is felt at the 40s license-fee.
At the Goulburn a rush had taken place to a gully four
miles from the principal workings, but had not turned
out so rich as had been reported. At M'lvor very little
was doing, the Ovens attracting great numbers, both
from that field and the Goulburn. From Ballarat's
"jewellers' shops" the amount of gold was still great,
many diggers realising handsomely, while others were
getting none.

' THE UNION of the three Courts of Austria, Bavaria,
and Saxony is about to be still more closely cemented
the intermarriage of a Saxon Prince with a sister of the
Emperor of Austria's fianee'e, a daughter of Duke 31a12,
milian of Bavaria, and of a son of this latter with a Satute
Princess. It is probable that the fiancailles will t.a,,l' in
this month, when the Emperor of Austria will be s

splendid fetes were given in his honour. I was present

CORPORATION NORTH SCHOOLS

TIIE usual half-yearly examination of the children in
these schools took place yesterday, in the presence of the
several gentlemen of the Committee, the Rev. I. Holmes,
Rev. T. Robinson, Rev. W. H. Duck, Rev. G. F. Mathews,
and a large number of the friends and parents of the
children. Owing to the unavoidable absence of the re-
spected Chairman of the Educational Committee of the
Town Council, Mr. Alderman Molyneux, Mr. Councillor
Fleming occupied the chair.
The infants were examined at-ten o'clock, and acquitted
themselves remarkably well : at the conclusion of which,
they were feelingly addressed by Mr. T. D. Anderson,
and Mr. Alderman Gardner. At eleven o'clock, the boys
and girls were examined. The boys by the Rev. Isaac
Holmes, and the girls by the Rev. T. Robinson, in the
sacred Scriptures, and in the other branches of their
education they were examined by the head master and the
head mistress of the schools.
On the termination of the examination, Mr. Alderman
GARDNER, after speaking of the very satisfactory manner
in which the children had answered the questions put to
them, gave a very encouraging and animated address to
the parents of the children, and called upon them, as
they loved th!ir,children, to second the exerti,-

committee and the teachers of the schools in endeavour-
ing to do the greatest possible good in promoting the
education, as well as the comfort, of the children ; and he

TURKEY,

Further details of the disastrous affair at Sinope have
been followed by the hasty news of another Turkish
defeat. A despatch from Vienna of Thursday, contained
the intelligence that the Russian General Andronikoff had
defeated the Turks in a battle at Akhalzik, on the borders
of Turkish Armenia, leaving 4,000 of their number dead
on the field.

Although there is nothing of such magnitude to set
against this triumph of Russia, the news which reaches
Constantinople of Turkish successes, in detail, is very en-
couraging to the Ottoman cause. Near Fort St. Nicholas
(Chekvetil), the Russians were repulsed in an attempt to
land 18,000 men. Their retreat was attended with heavy
loss, and was cut off in the direction of Russia. The
Mussulman population of Georgia had risen in arms for
Turkey. Schamyl and Selim Pacha had taken various
fortresses ; and amongst them Redut-Kaleh, on the Black
Sea coast, Kislar, Zahkatala, Kahetty, and Djeln.
As regards the affair at Sinope, the news of which
caused much excitement at Constantinople, it is certainly
true that ten Turkish vessels of war and three transports
were destroyed ; but it is also true that the immensely
superior Russian force, although victorious, came out of
the engagement in a scarcely less shattered condition than
its opponents. The carnage on both tides was immense.
Osman Pacha, who was wounded, fell into the hands of the
enemy. Several officers, both English and French, were
on board the Turkish fleet.

The defeat at Sinope was known at Constantinople on
the 3d. A grand Divan was held, of which all the Foreign
Ministers were present. The English and French Am-
bassadors were urged to despatch the combined fleets into
the Black Sea; but they had an audience of the Sultan, at
which it was resolved not to send the whole fleet at once,
but four frigates, to obtain more precise information, as
well as to afford medical assistance to the wounded.
Through a Russian source we are informed that Prince
Orbehan encountered 30,000 Turks, who had passed the
Arpatchai, near Alexandropol, and, after a sharp engage-
ment, drove them back. They were retreating on the
14th November.

It is also said that, in another direction, General Brum-
mer charged 7,000 Turks with the bayonet, and com-
pletely routed them, taking a cannon, two standards, and
a part of the Turkish train and ammunition. The Lloyd
of Vienna states that the Austrian consuls in the Otto-
man Empire having taken Russian subjects there under
their protection, the Porte requested the Austrian Cabinet
to take under its protection Turkish subjects in Russia.
