FROM AUSTRALIA.

On Saturday we announced, by tcle-
graph, the arrival Of the American ship
Bavaria at New York in IS days from
Australia, since which we have received
a full detail Of her news:
A correspondent of the Melbourc Argus,
writing from Sydney August 20, says
Mrs. Mitchell, the wife of the Irish
exile, sailed on Thursday evening, with
her children, accompanied by Mr.. Smith,
the gentleman who aided Mr.. Mitchel's
escape, to join her husband, awaiting her
arrival in San Francisco. Previous to
Mrs. Mitchel's departure, deputation,
representing a number Of Irishmen and
several other citizens, waited upon her to
present her with an address of their SYM
pathy for the past trials of her husband
and herself, and their congratulation at
the happier prospect now opening for them
and their family. They presented her at
the same time, with gold watch and
chain of exquisite workmanship.
The following is said to be the daily
circulation of the Melbourne papers.
Melbourne Argus, 1000; Herald, (gov-
eminent organ) 200; Express, (weekly)
5000; Tribune, Catholic paper) 1000
Banner, Presbyterian $500.
With this large circulation, Australia
cannot long remain under the British
yoke.
Compositors received Is. and Is. Cd.
per 1000 ems, on daily papers, and Is.
Cd. on weeklies--five hundred American
ems are equal to 1000. Pressmen get f6
per week, and machinists from 81 to fI2;
sto1e-masons 25s. to 35s. per day. and
carpenters from COS. to S0s.; laborers
from los. to l5s.
Lawyers are very numerous, but Amer
leans find great difficulty in being admit
ted to the bar.
PRINTING AT SEA.-The question about
priority of the discovery of the amuse-
ment of printing at sea is much discussed
by rival claimants who had sailed in va
rious ships. Here is one account:
To The Editor of the Melbourne Argus.
Sir II see, by two of the last week s
numbers of the Argus, that claims have
been made from two quarters, for being
considered pioneers in ocean printing
Now, l beg to say that there was small
paper, called the Tropical Times, printed
weekly on board the bark Elizabeth,
Captain Hancock, during passage from
Bristol; and as the Elizabeth arrived in
April last, and the Indian Queen not till
this month, the Tropical Times stands
before the Indian Queen Journal. Your
correspondent, Mr.: Patton, states that the
Ocean News was printed regularly on
board the Cossipore, Except when the
weather or some other good reason, pre-
vented" But the Tropical Times was
issued regularly-about fifty or sixty
copies week" in spite of wind and
weather - though believe it could not
boast of such proud array of contribu-
tors, as the Indian Queen Journal. 1t was
thought on board the Elizabeth, that the
Tropical Times was the first paper ever
printed at sea and though it is clear
that the Ocean Nears of the Cossipore is
entitled to priority, l do not see if there
be any merit in such matters, but that
our " bonnie" bark should have her due.
| have enclosed a number of the Tropical
Times; it is copy of a second edition of
that number.
| am, sir, yours, obediently,
AN ELIzABETHAN.

FROM CALIFORNIA.

We have already announced the ARR.
val of the steamship United States at New
Orleans, with later California news.
The most absorbing questions are the
proposed removal of the capital and the
election of a United States Senator, to take
his seat in 1855. The principal candi-
dates are Messrs. Brodcrick, Hartford,
and Gwyn.
Trade in San Francisco, and indeed
throughout California, is represented as
exceedingly dull, owing to the immense
stock of goods On hand, and all articles
except flour have met with further de-
cline. Flour, however, is quoted as being
firmly held. The crops were turning
out fine.
MARKErs.-The markets had been
more active, but prices generally had I'M
dergone but little change. Gallego and
Haxall flour was quoted at $l4 SIC ):
mess pork at $24 gunny bags, IA );
butter 25c.; bacon and hams, lac. l5c.

FThe Usual Extra Compensation

Congress employs twice as many sub
Clerks, sub-Doorkeepers, Messengers,
makers, Sweepers, Pages, &c. as there
is any need Of and pays them most ex-
brilliantly. The least efficient men get
SO per day for very short and light days
work. The pages (mere lads of II to Is
years. receive $40 SO per week. And in
addition to this it has become habit to
vote them all $3.50 each at the close of
each Session, as the aSuaI ertya compen-
sation.' 1t began with vote of that sum
at the close of very long and rather ar
duous Session, when it was pleaded that
the underlings had been worked very hard
and had fairly earned something more
than ordinary. Then it was urged
and passed as 'eatra compensation; ever
since it has been 'the uSu0t extra compen-
sation.' Many of the boys could not earn
S4 per week any where else in the world;
yet they are paid SO SO per week for
attending on Congress few hours each
day in the dullest part of the year, and
then $50 adottionaI per week at the close
of the Session as 'the usual extra COM
pensation.' In return for this, they pay
in some IS each for liberal spread of
cold fowl, ham, brandy, wine, &C., which
is set out in some sly Committeeman of
the Capitol on the last night of each Ses-
sion for the members to get drunk and
quarrel some upon. That is to say-the
Members take out of the Treasury some
100000 or $4,000 to give to their Mes
sengers, Pages, &c. who gratefully contri-
butte some 81 900 or SO out of it to make
the members jolly over night and savage
ly sick next day. Ofcourse, all the Mem
bers do not vote for the swindle, nor do
all partake of the tipple; but the business
is SO managed that the people connot know
who does or does not.-Tj5Hltc.

The New York Evening Post pays the
following fattering compliment to the
Democratic" masses, now swarming at
Washington:
A large@proportion of the population of
Washington at present consists of fugi-
tives from labor and fugitives from justice.
In the first class are comprised those who
are too lazy, or otherwise incompetent to
earn living, and who want the govern
ment to support them. The fugitives
from justice are those who have been cud-
gelled from home by their own party, and
60 to Washington to make a market for
their wounds.

dent Pierce an outfit. The appropriations

cluding cleaning, painting, whitewashing, ex-
tending the east wing of the Offices, for car
riage houses, &c, $1,000; and for heating,
ventilating, painting the exterior; painting
the walls and ceilings of the rooms on the
first floor, and the purchase of books for the
Presidents library ,S29,5G0.
For refurnishing the Presidents House, TO
be expended under the direction of the Pres
ident in addition to the proceeds Of the sale
of such furniture and equipage of the said
house as may be out OF repair and uEft for
