LATER News FROM AUSTRALIA The news
from Australia, via England, is to the 9th Of
June. The Melbourne correspondent Of the
London Times gives the total Of gold received
there from the Victoria gold fields, for the frs
four months of 1858, at 689, 429 ounces, an in
crease Of 449 066 ounces over the same period il
1852. The correspondent adds: g But it SHOULD
be remembered, the fields are now more exten
sive, and worked by greater number of per
sons. There is no indication that the yield il
falling off,
Rents continue to rise in Sydney, to the dis
may Of all who have only fixed incomes and n,
lease. Provisions, though far below Melbourne
prices, are high, and the large importations de
not appear to bring them down. The condition
of the emigrants who have nc trades is repre-
sented as very bad. But in all these respects
Sydney offers only faint picture of the state OF
things at Melbourne. There rents are asked
for mere novels that would not be demanded fol
mansions in Europe and the rapid increase Of
the population is beginning to be regarded with
something like fear. Great suffering and desti-
tuition existed among the newly arrived emf
grants.
