AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION.
1t is satisfactory to find that the supply of ship
ping for emigration purposes is much larger than
had been anticipated. There are now fifty vessels
Of large tonnage loading in London for the Austria
liam colonies, all of which convey emgrants, and
we are Informed that several other ships have been
chartered to meet the increasing demand for pas
sage. AT Liverpool, Glasgow, Leth, Hull, and
BRISTOL numerous vessels are also advertised for the
same destination. The emigrants from London
mostly belong to the middle classes, and include
many persons who carry with them stocks of goods,
intending to establish themselves as storekeepers,
or in other retail business, in Australia. A number
OF young men previously engaged in the large whole
sale or retail houses in the city, as also several
bankers and merchants clerks, have either left or
intend leaving for Sydney and Port Phillip to seek
their fortunes in the gold fields. A more important
class OF emigrants as regards the labor market of
the colonies will be probably found amongst those
leaving the outports, or by the government vessels
from London: but all classes will, under present
circumstances, be valuable in Australia.

IMPORTS OF AUSTRALIAN GOLD.
In addition to the amount of gold previously no.
ticed as having been received from the Australian
colonies during the present week. two other vessels
the Northumberland and the Enchanter have ar

the remaining portion of the overland mail, we
have received letters and papers from Adelaide to

operations of the government assay Office had
1856 odd ounces Of gold dust had been deposited, va
lue 81 .2O5 lOs., and on the 9th further deposit
OF 596 ounces, value about G., lis 49,, which,
with vii .1 the previous deposits, made total Of
t3O.323 rs. I'd. Emigration to the gold fields con-
tnued very active, and all the vessels taken up for
MELBOURNE were filling rapidly. Out of twenty-five
vessels advertised for different ports no less than
fifteen were for Melbourne The latest news re-
celved from the gold fields announced that eleven
Adelaide miners had brought into Bathurst no less
than E22 200 worth of gold, and party Of four
had deposited 30 lbs. weight each, in one week, in
the Bank of Australasia 1t is satisfactory to learn
that all the wheat and other crops in the colony of
South Australia had been gathered, and even the
farmers who had been tempted to leave for the gold
fields, had taken the precauton to sow. or had made
preparations for sowing, their fields at the proper
open up the overland route from Adelaide to Mount
Alexander, distance of 400 miles, and in short
time safe and practical road would be established
for both horse and foot passengers.
AUSTRALIAN GOLD FIELDS.
From Melbourne, Port Phillip, the advices extend
to the Sd OF March. The city is represented to be
ovcrcrowded with strangers of all kinds who were
arriving at the rate of 1000 persons per week; and
banks Of the river. About 40, 900 persons were as
senbled OF the Mount Alexander diggings, and the
traffic from thence to the city is stated to be enor
nous, SO much so as to cause serious apprehension
lest it should destroy the road entirely About
forty to fifty drnys per day required to supply
food to the miners, and, therefore, any stoppage of
the traffic would prove very serious matter. The
price OF gold had declined from 63s to Cos. per
ounce, and the tendency was downwards, as in con-
sequence of the news that the Anglo Australian
Bank were about to become purchasers Of gold,
sellers had refraiped from operating The receipts
of gold for the week ending the 18th of February
had been 2l,9l6 ounces, which with previous ex.
ports. and subsequent shipments, gives total of
i57 lag ounces valued in the colony at Gl, 37I Az,
estimated at Cos. per ounce but equal to 81 1923 SOC
in the London market. English manufactured
goods were in demand, especially boots, shoes, sad
