SOUTH AUSTRALIA.  On Tuesday despatches, of which the following are extracts, were received from Colonel Gawler, the Governor and Resident Commissioner of South Astralia :  " The population, trade, commerce, and sales of land, are much beyond, what was anticipated in 'England ; and the work for public servants is increased in the same proportion. I am assured that the population of Adelaide and its neighbourhood is between 4000 and 5000. In the course of the last three months nearly 10,000 acres have been sold in the colony. Cattle stations are extended to a distance of 35 miles eastward from Adelaide, and the coasting trade with the eastern Australian colonies is very active. " The colony itself is meat promising. I have great confidence that a proportionably Large revenue may be raised from it, and that in many things public expenditure may ho reduced. Care and exertion shall not be spared, on my part, to accomplish these objects. * " The capabilities and advantages of the colony come up to my expectations. Most extensive districts of the richest soil extend to the northward, eastward, and in large valleys to the southward of Adelaie. Port Adelaide is a secure and commodious harbour for sl.:ps of 400 tons, and these are large enough for every commercial pureoso. Naval men agree that, to render it unobjectionable fc,-• eis of that burden, nothing is required but a steam-tl.: " The climate and country arc iiaautifai, resembling an English park.

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.  It is stated in the latest accounts from Africa. that all the troops destined for the expedition to Constantine were to have assembled at Bent before the '2sth of October, and to conimence their march at four o'clock on the morning of the Ist of November. The Duke de Nemours having embarked at the opening of the campaign.—Courrier Francais. The Sardinian government has just reduced the custom duties on the importation of the infer or sorts of corn, dried vegetables, and other farinaceous food.—Cwwitutionnel. A letter of the 17th ult from Cadiz announces the arrival at that poit of three French ships of the line and two brigs, which, with the ahipsalready there, form a squadron of seven vessels. The director of the museum et Kertch, a town in the Crimea' on the Black sea,, ately discovered an ancient tomb, of oblong shape, formed of very large hewn stones without any cement, containing a species of coffin in cyprus wood, enclosing a bronze urn, with the cover firmly soldered on, in which were the remains of burnt bones. Near the urn were two broken vases of alabaster, which probably contained odoriferous essences as used by the Greeks at their funerals. The shape of the urn, which has three handles. and is in line preservation, makes it of high interest and value. It is not perhaps possible to fix its precise date, hut there is every reason to believe, from the form and constrnct ion of the tomb, that it goes as co back as the first colonization of this country by the Greeks—that is, 150 years before Christ.  • Some days ago two young men, at Clermont Ferraud, noted fur their dissolute habits, were overheard holding a conversation, in which one of them appeared to be endeavouring to dissuade the other from commAtu4; suicide. Ile did not prevail. for the report of a picot was immediately afterwards heard, and the most resolute of the two was found with parts of both his jaws and the roof of his month blown away. lie was Carrift to the Hotel Divu, still breathing, but in a hopeless state.

Another suicide has lately occurred at Marseilles. A Jewish merchant had been married .for seteral teats. and bad a child two years old. The union was at first perfectly happy, but, from unaccountable stirwises, the wife became jealons of the husband, and adopted such a line of conduct towards him that he became alarmed for his life, and sued for a separation.

Indeed, the 03n,„56 speakers on the Government benches in the Upper rvie, has been strongly manifested since the death of thAeo.mented Lord Fitzgerald, the absence of Lord,,Dil of borough, and the frequent indisposition of the ratrber.
