Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.

Ii were as great waste Of words to in
dltate the obvious considerations which
will serve 10 preserve peace between the
United States and Great Britain as it " ould
be TO measure the capacity Of the two
powers tor doing injury to each other. In
our own executive government we may
safely trust the settlement Of the pending
questions-as they have shown heretofore
that due regard Tor the dignity Of the
country is consistent with moderation aud
fcrbearance.
1t is believed that both the Secretary oil
State and the Attorney General are firmly
of the opinion that if the British Govern
ment do not comply with our demands fos
reparation, on account OF our insulted SOW.
rreignty, By the violation Of our neutrality
laws, the British Minister must be dismiss,
ed. The President will no doubt be gov
erned by his advisers in whose judgement
he has so much confidence. The Attorney
Generals instructions to the United States
District Attorney Of Pennsylvania have,
il seems, 30 much irrltated the British gov
eminent that, according TO the London
Morning Post they despatched feet to
"calm our sensibiites. =" But these instruc-
tons were no. the mere act Of the law
officer of the government, but the entire
Executive government and, therefore, as
they were adopted for effect. aud upon
consultation, aud have had the desired IF,
feel to call public attention, here and
abroad. to the irritating and aggressive
course of Lord PaImersson towards this
country, it is likely that the government
will continue to act in the same spirit and
with the same policy which dictated 'hose
instructions.

The Gold supnly from Australia.

=
During the first SIX months Of this year
the shipments Of gold from Australia reach
ed the aggregate Of 81 tons II cwt., equal
in round numbers to s27, 500 600, and be-
ing at the rate cf SIS, 600, 900 a year.
This is more than the years previous, as
will be seeen by the following table:
In 1852 the export was equal
to 437 $50 900
1853 AZ 2So' 900
1854 1875 COO
1855 estimated export. predica,ed
OIL first 6 months, $4,000 900
These figures ale taken partly from the
published returns Of the Melbourne Gus.
tom Hoase, and partly from the reports of
the Australian press. They are much
lower iaan the estimates given b, Mr..
Westgarth, who has been on the spot and
prepared his tables with some care. He
considers that The annual produce Of Aus.
tria may be set down as
1851. S45, l46o or. worth sa, Sc. 100000
1852. 4,263O42 50. 26O 900
1858, 3,o9O'342 81 800, 900
But the shipments are after all the sa-
fest guide. Taking them as our guide,
We shall come to the conclusion that be-
tween It's first discovery and the end f:he
year, Australia will have welded, IN
round numbers, about $50, 900, 900 worth
Of gold, nearly $270 000, 600 OF which ha.
gone TO Engla nd. California, from the
time Of its discovery to the end OF Sep.rm-
Der last, is usually considered to have
yielded about $500, 100000 which leaves
$140, 000,00 as margin for the two ears
during which il exported gold before Aus.
tralia's treasure was known.
What gives importance to the gold
movement In Australia is the fact that the
very existence Of the Bank of England
seemed, at our last accounts, 10 depend
upon the arrival of large supplies from
thence. Nine hundred thousand pounds
sterling had arrived in a single week. blu,
the utmost The British bank hoped to re-
tain was two out OF the nine. The rest
went TO France. When the steamer left,
the hope OF the commercial world was Tor
more supplies OF god. Now, fit turn
out that Australia has swelled the first six
months Of the year at the cost CT the last
