AUSTRALIA.

Wehave sdvices from Australia to March 10. From
The Melbourne Argus summary OF that date we take
the following paragraphs:
The CoLoSr OF VIcToRIA.--Our readers are aware
TINT steam communication with England has for the
present been suspended and that the Australian Colo
mes are entirely dependent on sailing vessels for
the important service of the transmission of the mails.
1t is fortunate that within the last few years the science
of nave alton and the art of shipbuding have made
such progress that sailing vessels at present maintain
an almost successful competition with their steam
rivals; ard now that shall be compelled to send
our mails by the former the regret at the change is
greatly diminished by the circumstance that the spir
tied ship-owners Of Great Britain have established
number Of lines of clipper ships, which for size,
commodaton, speed and beauty are altogether une-
quoled.
From the reports of gentlemen who have recently
visited orr agricultural districts learn that since
the gold discoveries the farmers directed their princ
pal attention to the production of hay but this year
much greater proportional breadth will be sown in
wheat considerable progress has likewise been
made in some districts in the erection of flour mills
Hitherto the greatest difficulty in the progress of agr
culture has been the expense of fencing. In this view
tie recent reduction in wages will be of great import
ance and in such respect the prospects OF agriculture
are at this moment better than at any time since the
discovery of gold.

the quantities in of gold dust by the Govern
ment escorts from the various gold-felds:

PORTLAND, Wednesday, June 6. 1855.
But few person were present at the City III al ut
O'Clock this morning, the interest well as fenent
having died away but toward noon II had become
pretty well filed. About 81 Mr. Fessenden on the
part of tie defense commenced bis argument. He re-
marked that he should not have offered any oyIence
at nll had il not been duty 10 the community rather
than necessity for his client, owing to the excite
ment prev ailing He then coded To vindcae the
public and private character OF Dir. Dow aftor which
he reviewed the testimony nj length tending TO show
that there was no proof that the liquors sefe IN the
possession of the Mayor that there was any intent
TO violate tie law. The LIQUORS wore or erei by Mr.
Dow in connection with the AderGeu oiiic oily, by
authority of vote of the Board, in conformity with
tie 3ls section of the 81 tuie which directs The Mayor
and Board of Aldermen in cities, and Solectmen III
towns TO purchase liquors Tor purposes OF laval sale
by the appropriate agents. lis argument occupied
about one hour.
The Hon Nathan Clifford on the part of the Govern.
meDt followed. That the liquors were ordered by Nc.
Dow and that they now in the city neither tho
proof or the argument endeavorod to decay. As To the
question of an agency there can be no9e III al agent
is appointed-there was 10 agent appoI-cd IN fort-
land when the liquor ordered therefore the liquors
come TO the person who ordered them, however they
NAV be billed to the " Portland Agency" The order
was given by Mr. Dow the original memorandum is
still in Lis possession and therefore nc Is the purchaser
for he has authority TO purchase for the city until
the agent is appointed and such Was not the case at
this time.
The Court reviewed the evidence and the arguments.
The law made no special provision as to whether tho
purchase Of liquors for agency should be made
either before or after the establishment of SUCH aud
well the rest Of the Committee. The Cour. could
infer intent the part of the defendant 10 sell the
liquor Illegally but that it ordered for the use OF
tho City Agency. Mr.. Dow therefore ordered TO
be discharged and the liquors restored to the of
tie City Agent. Applause followed the decision, and
the assembly then quietly dispersed.
