The bullion market is weak and the dealers
are watching events. The confirmation of the
Australian gold findings is one event Of the
week, and another, which will exercise event
uaIly great influence on the bullion market is
the publication OF the continental exchange
prices received by electric telegraph. This
rapid transmission Of quotations will have q
great tendency to equaIi4e prices ia the different
markets, aud to diminish temporary specua-
tons II is likewise to be expected that it will
result in the drawing Of short bills on places
wherein il is now the practice to draw ut three
months. as il will be wished to avoid the fiuctu-
atoms and contingencies, when comparatively
certain transaction can be effected. AS bullion
can 80 easily be commanded by the use Of the
telegraph, there will be less necessity for keep
ing up local stocks, and greater disposition to
accumulate in this market, which is the place OF
receipt f4 all quarters of the world
The 4 ~ ralian news creates Mt present, feel
ing Of anx' 'ty rather than any fixed impression
Of the definite results to be obtained. la its be-
ginning, however, the Ophir Of Australia is more
pregnant with great expectations than the FL
Dorado Of the West. As the discovery in the
American or Feather creek indicated the produc-
tiyensss Of the basin Of TIE Sacramento 80 does
the discovery of gold in Orange river most
strongly suggcst the like productiveness in all
the affiuents Of the Murray, nor are there want
ing rumors of further discovery going beyond
surmise. II this expectation be- true, the Aus
tralian gold region will be az much beyond Cali
fornia or any other gold region known, IA Cali
fornia is beyond the Attaan district, the Ural and
Virginia Extending from the back Of the More
ton bay district to the back Of Victoria province.

miles from north to south, by 200 from east to

four or five times the erient of The California Ell
Dorado. Roads give the coast population nc

Of the district, and steamers running from Ade-

As the Kinak Of Hawaii is attracted to San
Francisco, so the Maori of New Zealand and
the Araforas of New Caledonia an the neigh
boring group, will be drawn to Sydney, New
castle, and Moreton bay. An intercourse al
ready open with Canton will bring Sydney into
rivalry with San Francisco for Chinese emigrants.
Flour will not have to be brought from the
other end Of the world, as from Chill, nor pro-

neighboring provinces it is of course impossible

The Augsburg Gazette, under date of Frank
FORT 9Th August, says:-
We learn that the resolution adopted by the
Germanic Diet relative to the liberty of the

laws on the press comfortably to the mon-
archical principle. 1t is particularly prohibited
to the journals, to call in question the principle

these measures before turning lis attention to

SWITZERLAND.
The Zurich Gazett states that the mission

The difficulties which have arisen relative 10
southern siates of Germany and Switzerland

some years past treaty between France and
Switzerland has been in contemplation, but
Berne has always been opposed to it. At

favorably disposed and in France the govern

expense Of the protective system now in force
