T6e inhabitants of Australia deeply moved
the question of Legislative reform. Meetings
,e been held in all parts of the colony to de-
md new constitution from the Legislative
npcil The following extract from an address
the people, embodies the principal objects
nght by the coonsts:
I'VE demand "A just apportionment of the repre-
rament, by a revision of the present eector-
system, and "a encouragement of electoral
triets, so as to afford fair and equitable repre-
NATION of the numbers, intelligence and prop
" of the community, and of all its various class
and interests. As subsidiary and subordinate
this, we demand an extension of the franchise
many classes, who, by the technicalities of the
stem of household suffrage ARE shut out from all
ice. in the councils of their country
#We demand that any constitution, to be framed
this colony, shall be subject to periodical
sson with view to its further improvement

mmunity under such Safeguards will pro-
ct hasty or ill-considered organic changes"
The rush to the Goulburn diggings is now abat-
3 as the diggers find that the want of water on
spot offers serious impeachment to their ope-
tons. The nearest supply, in any quarter, is
swamp three or four miles distant, and the
riage of the washing stuff to this place involves
expense of 60 per load.

4 No fresh intelligence of Importance has ar
ked from the gold-felds of Mount Alexander
Bendigo but the overland mail brings particu-
Rs of large meeting at the Ovens, at which
feeehes of the usual tenor were delivered, and
feeling against the license-fee seems there,
b. to be very strong.

Dom Melbourne, on the 9th, with her children,

waiting her arrival in San Francisco. Previous
\ Mrs. Mitchelrs departure, deputation, repre-
fntng number of Irishmen, and several other
atzens, waited upon Mrs. Mitchell, to present
Pr with an address of their sympathy for the
sttrials of her husband and herself, and their
generalization at the happier prospect now open
for them and their family. They presented
