Shipments of Gold Dust-The Markets--In- teresting Gold Circulars—High Rates of Labor—State of Socicty—New Coal Mines ‘The New Constitution, de, &e., de. We have received, by the way of Callao, thirty days later news from Australia. The ship Plymouth Rock, Captain Farnham L. Tucker, from Melbourne, Port Philip, whence she sailed on the 20th of August, arrived at Callao on the 29th of Septem- ber—thus making the passage in thirty-nine days—the shortest on record. Our late news from Australia came by the P. R. She came to the southward of the Snares. Off New Zealand, passed the parallel of 53.30 south, when she was driven to the northward by an easterly wind whieh lasted two days; thence she steered to strike her original track to the eastward; passed to the eastward of St. Felix Island, and made the islands of Chincha on the thirtieth day out. She was becalmed two days off Callao. No vessels were spoken nor seen on the passage until land was made. Our obligstions are due to Adams & Co. for late news aad papers. The intelligence is highly intevesting and satisfactory: We give as full details ay our space will permit. Our shipping list will be found full, complete, and to the latest date. The state of trade and gold receipts at Sydney were un- usually dull; but we learo from the Melbourne Argus, of the 18th of August, that from the lst of January to the 13th ef August the export of gold from Victoria amounted ‘to BT tons, 7 cwt. 8 qrs. 11 lbs., or £5,165,370, or nearly twenty-six millions of dollars. Added to this, it is stated ‘that s number of new and rich es had been discovered, but the workers inthe old mines were so well satisfied where they were that not many had gone to the new dis- ooveries. The Sydney Empire is occupivd chiefly in combating the proposed new constitution. In an article under the head- ing of “The Crisis is Come,” the editor says:— In the present bills we have the concentration of all po- litical that can befal the colony. Every tyrannical measure, minute or large, will become justifiable by the final passing of these bills into law. There will be no re- ‘then inst the corruptions of government but ion. jose who deprecate that, let them depre- is pretended ‘conservati«m.’ And:s— * © © It istime to bring this nefarious imposition to an end, expecially now thai a step further is being pro- jected, in the constitution of a nominee Upper House, ‘with even the foreshadowiogs—the ambitious foreshadow- ings—of a baronage, to clench the nail which haa al- ready been so artfully driven. Jt is time for the people to arise with one voice, and by earnest representations to a ministry whose strongly pronounced opinion: are already on their side, to declare that these things shall not be. The Empire calls upon the people to hold mass meet- ings to oppose the projected constitution. A meeting was held accordingly on the evening of the 34 of August, at which about five hundred persons attended, compris ing numerous represestatives of every class of the com wunity—merchants, professional men, shopkeepers, and cal citizens—all apparently actuated by the most earnest | j, gocd will towards the object of the meeting. Four reso- | lutions were proposed and carried without opposition or dissent, and the proceedings, which were prolonged till ten o'clock, were characterized by the u'most g20d tem- per and zeal. The third resolution censtituted a committee of twenty, | with power to add to its number, for the purpose of call ing @ general mass meeting of the colonists to meet at Sydmey at early period. In our previous accouts we made mention of a rumor that a gold escort had been robbed, and several of the guards, as well as robbers, were killed. In the Empire of the lat of August, we bave the particulars of the edair:— Melvor, Jaly 26, 1863. St—It is my most painful duty to report that our es- cort was this day attacked, about fourteen miles from here, on the road to Miem-Miem Inn and Kyneton, by a body of bushrangers. Mr. Bryce Ross has just left this office, having received a detailed accoun' from Mr Duins, of our force, who arrived here at full gallop, with his horse wounded by two ballets. I instantly gave every information to the police at the government camp, and an exprese was immedi:tely d#spatched to Melbourne. ‘As you will ive by the accounts in the Argus, Mr. Warner and Mr. Duins were the only persons unhurt, although they were exposed to a perfect shower of bullets and abot. The three troopers and the driver were all shot. Moreton is severely wounded, haviag received a ball im the shoulder, just above the lungs; Davis is shot through the cheek; fleiawatter received's ball in his log, and bas injured his aru: ; Fookes, the driver, was shot in the knee, and another bal! grazed his temple. As these four fell at the first volley, it was of course impossible for Mr. Warner and Duins to make any resistance. Duins therefore galloped off ‘or assisiance, leaving Mr. Warner within sieht of the cart to reconuoitre; bat after a short time, he was perceived by the bushcangers, four of whom fired ‘at him; he, therefore, galloped off to Peterson's sta- tiom, in the hope of obtaining a*sistanee. ‘The police, and several volunteers and special consta. bles, who hed been sworn in for the purpose, are now scouring the country in every direction. Mr. Warner is with one oe Bend police. Truins is here; the wounded menare in the bospital at the camp, where they have been attended by several menical men. Up to this time (11 P. M.), no tidings of the capture of avy of the bush intend sending the cart to Kyneton the first thing to morrow morning. I herewith send you the way bill for the gold which is lost, and also ete package containing £80, which’ is in the have the honor to remain, sir, your most obedient HENRY A Le Souef, Erq. ir.

We believe it was the in tention of Captain Lappidge to sail the Unicorn most of ‘the way to Bydney, so as to be sure of having a sufficiensy of coal with which to encounter rough weather and the dangers of the coast.

This is scarcely good polisy.

Referring to harbor improvements, the Argus of the 3 obs erves:—A depvtation, consisting of J. A. J. Macpher- sen, Esq., solicitor, and Mr. D. Wilkinson, civil engineer, waited on his excellency yesterday morning, respecti project for forming a company, to construct decks on the river, and a canal to the bay. In correcting an error under its commercial head, the Argus says :—It is seldom we trouble ourselves to correct the errors, typographical or otherwise, which necesaaril and inevitably occur in our celumns, But one occu in our issue of yesterday of seme consequence which we MUUIS met be SuntiGed 1H pacwlug ewer. In the commercial report the quantity of American last six months was stated at S00 tons, a quantity mai festly ric iculous to any one who knows the immense sh ments which have poured in during that period. The quantity imported should have been siated at 8,000 tons, a discrepancy 60 great as would lead to its detection upon the part of any reader of intelligence particularly as the subrequent remarks tend to point out the error.

A new bill has been introduced by the Railway Direct- ors of the line to Port Adelaide, authorizing deviations in the route previously surveyed. The cost of the railway is caleulated at £150,000 THE LATEST GOLD CIRCULAR. 55 Great Coniys strger, West, Aug. 13, 1853, The demand for gold for shipment by the Argo has con- tinued during the week, and from the quantity offered a large emount of business has been done. The price con- tinues firm at 77s. 6d. The latest information from the different fields is as follows :—From Balaarat, the oldest of our gold fields, some astonishing lumps have turned up, and great ex- citen ent has followec thereon. From Bendigo matters are progressing tteadily, notwithstandiag the new and competing fields around it. It is evident from the num- ber continuing at work at this Seld, that all diggers are not so easily led away fron: a steady certainty to a doubt- ful new field. From Melvor nearly all the ciggers have left for the Goulburn; but a further confirmation of its | productiveness has yet to be received. From Korong all the diggers have gone, and the storekeepers are following At the Ovens matters are going on pretty steadily, the | tity coming to Melbourne being rather over that sent ne} Tt'is with satisfaction we note the steady increase now going on in the amount brought down by escorts. Al- though this shows a less quantity than the previous week, it is to be explained by the fact that two government es- corts were reported last week, one of which belonged to the previous one. The increase is upwards of 20,000 ad the past two weeks, over that reported since April it, A gradual diminution in the shipments of specie ap- pears to bave begun at home. Several vessels have ar- | ived from Briton lately, in which there is none re. | ported. We observe an appointment lately made of an assay master for this colony. We do not exactly know where the gold is to come from, for exercising the functions of such an officer. According to our experience, we feel certain that the diggers, as a class, prefer receiving a de- finite amount for their gold dust, rather than resort to the expedient of having it melted and assayed, as that involves a Gelay and uncertainty as to its value, which they will not risk. Wo feel equally certain that mer- chants will prefer purchasing the gold guaranteed at the standard value, to running the chances of purchasing the dust, and then having it melted and assayed.

When gold dust was freely offered there | by ¢iggers, parehasers equal to the quantity could net be found, ard a cousiderable ameunt was brought ba:k to rhe. The result of this state of matters was the } Assing of the bullion aet, and the consequent erection of a geld melting and assaying establi hment. It does not therefore follow that because we havean Adelaide govern ment assayer appointed to All a similar situation in Vie toria, that the established mode of copcucting the gold here is to change: nor does it follow that greater value ix to be #t:ached to « stamp on an ingot by a go- vernment assayer, over that of a private establishment, where a guarantee is given. We cannot -ee any other | mode of fully employing the lately appointed official than by Government extending the establishment a degree | farther, and opening s bullion broker’s office. They have lately been experimenting as bankers, and this would only be trading in the raw.cas they are now in the manu- factured material.

Simp Deriaxce, Catto Roans, ) October 6, 1853, | f To James Gorpox Buwxert, Exq., Of mm New York Heratp:— Sm—As there has appeared in one of the Panama ps- pers an incorrect and garbled statement in regard to the affair at Chincha Islands, I have, by Captain R bert McCer- ren’s request, given you « brief statement of the facts since the 16th of August last up to the present date, and it is in strict aceordance with the depositions that have been given before the United States Consul and United States Minister at Lima, as well as in the Peravian courts. On the 17th of August a meeting was held on board this ship, (Defianee,)to take into consideration what measures to adopt in regard to the treatment of their seamen by the Peruvian government at the Chincha Isles, one chief officer of a vessel having been ironed, and four seamen being in irons at that time on board the guardship. They all went to the cuardship, peaceably and gentlemanly, to expostulate with the redoutable commandant, when her instead of listening, ordered his soldiers to eharge upon them, which they did,with fixed bayonets, wounding many of the shipmasters seriously, among the rest Captain MeCerren, who was run through by a bayonet A committee was appointed to visit Lima and state the case to Mr. Clay, United States Minister. Shortly afterwards the Enqlieh frigate Portland visited the Islands, and Admiral Moresby took a very decided stand, and stated to the commandant that in the absence of American authorities that American commerce and yeople should be protected by them. All was peaceable the gun e.--—as0erron instantly paid him the mo- Later From Jamaica. bey And requested him to leave the ship.

Thisfended in Capt. McCe: ren’s being nearly killed the third time. The Defiance now lies in the roads preparing for sea; the former crew are all in prison awaiting to be sent home or trial. Capt. McCerren is getting better, but still suf- fering much. These, sir, are the true, though very brief, statements of the transaction, which has roused the indignation of every American in these waters.

RUMORED ABANDONMENT OF LADY FRANELIN’S SEARCHING EXPEDITION—AMERIQAN TRAVELLERS —A NEW JOURNAL, ETC., BTC. 2 The Aspinwall Courser, of the 14th instant, contains the following notice of Lady Franklin’s searching expedi- tion :— ‘We cegret to learn, from the Valparatso Herald, that a divagreement among the officers of the Isabel, Lady Franklin’s vessel, sent out in search of her husband, bas caused the abandonment of the undertaking. The Isabel had arrived at Valparaiso, and the disagreement between the officers having been laid before the British consul, one of them afterwards, by application to the captain of the port, imprisoned some of the men implicated in the difficulty—and thus the matter passed out of the bands of the consul. The same journal, of the 18th inst., remarks:— As we have heretofore stated, there are several passen- gers here from different parts of the South Pacific, en route for the United States and Europe. Among them are two entlemen from New York, who have been staying at the City during the week. These gentlemen—Messrs. Cyrus W. Field and F. E.

Apgell, Eaq., Consul of the United Stater, on Tuesday, xt 12 moon. Mr. Angell arrived, accompanied by the late Consul, Mr. Allen, and by Dr. Schell. After being presen‘- ed to the King by the Minister of Foreign Relations, Mr. Angell addrékeed the King ra follows :— me—It affords me sincere gratification to be presented toyour ty under such favorable auspices. 1am in- forned by his Excellency, your Minister of Foreizn Af- fain, that the course of my predecessor has met the en- {ireapprobation of your government, as Tam assured it hssof the government of the United States, and! shall regard myself fortunate if, governed by a sincere desire to pomote the harmony and good fellowship which hap- pily exists between both nations, my official condict shall meet with like approval. It gives me much pleasure to assure your Maj-st) of the continued friendly feeling entertained towai yours#lf and your people by the government and people of the United States. and that they will maintain and pre- serve inviolate the treaty stipulations which now exist, Our gevernment and people are not insensible of your Liberal policy, and of the immense advantages which such & policyfconfers upon the already large and rapidly in- creasirg commerce in the Pacific ocean. They have ob- served with the liveliest gratification the progress your subjects have made in c vilization, in the arts, and in agriculture: and my own observation has more than con- firmed the high anticipations I had formed of your agri- cultural and commercial resources, and the unrivalled ex- cellenee of your ehmate. You have the profound sym- pa‘by of the whole American people for the aad calamity Which has fallen so heavily and with such fatal effect upon your subjects, and their earnest prayer for the 1e- ieee health of your people and the prosperity of your jom. It pleased his Majesty to reply to the following effect:— The course of your predecessor, Mr. Allen, has indeed been all that I and my government could desire of a Con- sul o! the United States. jas been promotive of peace and good will between my kingdom and that republic. feel assured that you will pursue the same course with the like success, thereby promoting those friendly rela- tions which are every year augmenting, In the past I owe much to the benevolence of the go- yernment of the United States and of their citizens, and for the future I count upon their countenance. I thank you for the expression of the sympathy of the American people under the dreadful pestilence with which it has plea ed Providence to afilict my subjects. You and your family are most welcome to my kingdom, where I hope you will enjoy health and prosperi'y. ‘Afterwards Mr. Angel presented Dr. Schell.

By the Chilian ship Mercedes Montes, arrived 17th ult. from these islands, we were favored with a file of the Messager de Tahiti, with dates up to the 19th of June; and we hasten to furnish our readers with an extract of what we have considered more worthy of note, as we think some interest will be taken in events connected with that flourishing part of the oceanic regions. ‘On the 15th of May, Queen Pomaré issued # decree call- ing together the Legislative Assembly for the 16th June, in the following terms:— Her Majesty Pomaré, Queen of the Society Islands and the Governor Im; Commissioner, in virtue of the Conven- 47, according to touch- ve As- ing the sembly, doh Society 1883 AR.

City Intelligence. = THE ALMSHOUSE GOVERNORS AND THE Crry Pxison.—At the last meeting of the Ten Governors, held in the Rotunda, on Tuesday evening, there were present, Messrs. West,iWil- liams, Henry, Dugro, Herrick, Pinkney, McLoughlin, Smith, and Townsend. The question of the election of a Warden for the City Prison, gave rise to a rather personal debate, but is to be fully and finally discussed at a meeting to be hheld some time soon, we believe, but the Board did not inform the reportera when. A communication was re- ceived from the Superintendent of the Workhouse, which sbowed that the number of inmates at the present date is 875, and daily increasing. Forty of the inmates ha been transferred to ‘he Tiospita on the island, for t! reason that the jon bakes are unable to attend to the sick at the Workhouse. Other reasons were assigned for the necessity of an hospital at the Workhouse. red to Committee on Almshouse and Workhouse. The follow- ing resolutions were then ‘ Resolved, That the Committe on the Lunatio Asylum be authorised to put in order the buildings known as the house, and that an appropriation of $15,( 00 be made to put the building in a suitable state to receive lunatics that cannot be accommodated in the main buildin Resolved, That the Wardens on Blackwells Island be re- quested to furnish to this Department, at the next mecting of the Board, the number of horses and cattle, now upon the Island, and whether, in their opinion, any of them can be dispensed with.

Tax Detcn Rerormen CuvrcH—ANNvaL Exumirioy.—The twen'y-third annual exhibition aud examination of the yupils of the school of the Dutch Reformed Church took place Wednesday evening in the Nixth street. church of that congregation. This commodious edifice is situated near Broadway, and was most tastefully fitted up for the oceasion, with 'a high broad, carpeted platform, upon which the pupils were sented, and from the front of which they could exhibit the fruits of their literary pur- suits, in the full display of a cultivated oratorical talent, combined with superior excellence in sacred vocal music, ‘This they did, tothe delight of many anxious parents, care- ful pastors and solicitous teachers. The exercises’ com- menced at seveno’clock, the pupils having bean conducted down the aisle by their teachers, Mr. Henry W. Dunshee and the accomplished Miss H. Parker. ‘After the usual prayer exercises and hymn singing had been gone through, the Misses Blauvelt, Westervelt, Vanderbilt, and Arkills, high- ly distingui-hed themselves in the recitation of a beauti- ful monologue, a very fine piece of composition (by Miss W.), and a most feeling duet—“Thou art gone trom my gave’’—by the last named ladies. Messrs. Du Bois, Bubb, and Mabie, were much remarked for their fine syle of ce: clamation, The presentation of the preminms and f the “henors’? to the graduates then took place, which was follcwed by singing by the graduates, after which “Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing,” was given by all the pupils, and a most happy dismissal took place. Fart Down ry1o Tix Hou oF A Vesset.—On Monday af- ternoon a boy named Thomas Parker, belonging to the ship Alfred, which is lying at pier No. 6, North river, fell do-n into the hold, by which the bone of his left thigh was broken. It appears that he was employed in carry- ing stayer aft from the fore part of the vessel, and feil through a new hatchway which had been just made be tween the main and fore hatches, of which he was not aware ashe walked along the deck. The captain, very humanely, immediately sent the injured boy to the City Hospital in a carriage. but the jolting of the vehicle over the rough streets acted injuriously on the broken limb, the bone of which was protruding through the flesh when he was brought in from the effects of the rough moticn to which he had been subjected. This might be obviates by usingin such cases a more suitable mode of conveyan:e, such as a sedan chair; ard indeed, we believe that this latter can be obtained on application’ at the Hospital. Sitvek Wane Storxy,—On Tuesday evening, past 7 o'clock, while the family were at supper, & ntered the premises of No. 179 Madiron street, by meaus of false keys, and passing to the second floor stole a large amount of silver ware, consisting of a silver teapot, cups, spoons, ‘and forks, as well as clothing, &c., valued at $400, the property of Dr B. Andrews. A large reward has been offered for their recovery. ACCIDENT ON BOARD OF AN EauGrant Sine.—A German, named Frederick Richter, by trade dyer, who was a pas senger on board of the St. Louvre, a line of packet ship that arrived the other day at this port from Antwerp, had the misfortune in the course of the voyage, about six weeks ago, to break his log in two places, causing a com- pound fracture of the limb during « storm, when Richter was pitched against the mainmast, by which the above accident took place. He was taken on Tuesday to the City Hospital from the vessel; but from fact of the bone having knit together on the voyage ina crooked posi- tion, from want of the necessary surgical attendance, it will be requisite to break the boue again, at least in one place, in order to bring it quite straight. Tuows Ovt or A WaGon.—Tuesday aight & man known as John, supposed to be a German, but whose right naine could not be ascertained and who appeared to be about fifty years of age, fell from his wagon in Eighth street, nesr the Fourth avenue, and was picked up senseless, having pitched upon his head. He was taken to tho Fifteenth ward station house by officer Wells, where he was attend: d by @ physician, who recommended that he should be taken to the hospital The wagon waa loaded with grain from a brewhouse, and was together with the horse tal en in charge by the police. Nothing further was known of him until Wednesday aod wheainquiry was made at the office of the Chief of Police respecting the horse and wagon, which led to the discovery by his friends of the accident that had occurred. JAMAICA STAGE ROUTR—TRICKS UPON TRAVELLERS —A pas- senger on Thursday in one of the Jamaica stages runniug from Williamsburg, was imposed upon by one of the drivers, who retained fifty cents for ® passage to Jamaica instead of eighteen cents, the latter beiag the re- gular fare. The driver belonged to the Union line, aud on the arrival at John I. Snediker’s, the stage stopped and the driver demanded pay; the passenger having purchased a ticket on that line a day or two before, handed up tl said ticket; he refused to take it, remarking that he could not receive it The passenger then handed hima half collar and received a ticket in exchange, of exactly the same character. No change was given, thus retaining fifty cents for the fare. We notice these ‘facts not for the value of the two shillings and sixpence, bat in order that the proprietors of this of line stages may be apprised of the imposition, ard thereby apply the propor remedy. It isa cunous fact that the tickets are not redeemable, ‘This driver has a pecular way of daing business. Cuity Dixetere.
