The Melbourne Argus alluding to the social
condition Of that city, says:
The city of Melbourne still continues to pre-
sent the same anomalies which it did at the
period OF our last summary-prosperity with
all its aifuent concomitants, mixed with large
proportion Of poverty and much suffering Yet
prosperity for this short period has rather been
the rule than the exception; and though misery
has certainly formed its victims, such have BEEN
principally among the dissolute and inI Fovident,
for labor has been plentiful and wages encoura-
ging.
Flour was on the rise, and holders we're look
ing confidently for much higher prices; gro
cerb provisions and brandies had sensibly de-
clined Money matters continuel in healthy
state, and it was thought business generally
had vever been in o more safe and prosperous
condition.

and establishing the head of the department in
Santiago. Besides the general superintendence
Of this branch, supervision of its accounts, and
the issuing of postage stamps, the Postmaster

so per cent. The smelling houses of Messrs.
Allison, Edwards & Lambert. situated on the
immediate shores Of Coquimbo Bay, are plenti-
fully supplied with ores. The Copiapino says
that Mr. Allison's establishment offers the
miners more guarantees and a better price. A
grand project is in meditation at Coquimbo. The
construction of canal for the purpose Of irri-
eating the at present barren lands N the imme-
date vicinity of that port estimated cost, $4O,
OOO. If the Ideals carried out it will prove Of
vast Importance to the province.

sailed for Boston with ores; the former at $2l
and the latter at $50 per ton.
The barks Rolla and Fredonia had arrived
from San Francisco-the former was for sale
! and the latter as U. s. storeship. .
Freights are firm at $50 to San Francisco for
medium sized vessels, and owing to the scarcity
of tonnage, maintain full rates to Europe and
the United States.
