T avail myself of the asiling of the Argo for putting you fm possession of mews from hence up to the latest moment. ‘This Melbourne is undoubtedly a wonderful place—s Perfect phenomenon—an immense mass of wealth, sur- rounded by the most primitive phases of society, It is Benerally believed thas on account of its goographicalsita- ation and growing importance—far surpassing Sydoey— the chief government of Australia will be removed to Melbourne. - ge peo stil hold out in woaderfal abundance, but the winter hax much impeded the operations of the miners. The winter season opened with the discovery ot the MoFeor diggings, but they are now comparatively ex- hhausted, and have been succee te! by the discovery of the Goulboura mines, in the a%jacent neighborhood. The old wines continue to yield w lil; 44,495 ounces have bees brought dowm during the past week, of which Mount Alexander and Bendigo contributed 32,000 ounces. A rumor reached the City two days since that another ex- fensive gold field had been discovered, From the great pumber of miners spread over the country, and the ap- proaching spring weather, it is anticipated that some extracrdinary developements will take place. The total Smount of gold exported from the colony of Victoria Glone, is 67 tons, 7 cwt., 3qrs., 11 Ibs.—amounting in ‘value to £6,105,370. Bow dows this compare vith Culi- fornia? The average number of persous who have arrived every week in Melbourne, curing tue wiater, has been two thousaud, which wiil be mucn exceeded a4 ths spring ‘fea San Francisco ‘The markets ior all kinds of merchandise—with but few excep ivns, such as building materiala—are fearfally Gepreseed, and sales are being made at wuctioa at aa immense sacrifice. ‘The large noe ae the bad state of the roads to the diggings, and the wait of store room, are the causes of this. There are whispers that two Icadiag houses here are knocked up. The foar market especially bas- beea hes. "Indeed, there isa large immigration here |* Borely depressed, aud ihe lossof the shippers mast be Cousiderable,’ss that artic e ba~ been selling at a positive loss. In many instsace large qusatities have been re- abipped to Liverpool for sale, te avod the enormous expenses of lighterage and storaze. For the past cort- night, however, s slight revival has taken place, and best four ow vell> at £30, snd inferior at £28 per ton. A grend mistabe our mercbant commit by neading here Very inferior four, which | ill hardly ell at aay prise. A large meeting of influential mer shsots was held here @ few days since, for the purpose of petitioning the local government for a grant of muney fr the carrying out of an Ocean penny postave, aud making Melbourse the cen- rt for the arrival and departure of mouthly mails to all parte of the worlt, Thi- s-home is aa admirable one, and will no doubt be very shortly atopted The im ‘mense wealth and traffic iu Melbourne demand it. Tae meeting direeted the rew lutions passed to be published in your journal, where { dare say they will appear simulta ‘Beously with this lerter Touching political mat'ers. there i a great deal of well Grounded disafieciion sm» cing, which I think will shortly burst inty a fame. Tow Governor of this colons, Mr La Trobe, is universally heted for his illiberaity an tyrapny; he opposes simont everythiog which is proposed for the gord of the o louy, au: seems determined to try ‘the patience of the colouints to ibe utmost degree.

The agrcultucist of small capi- tal in therefore shut out, and & vas; exient of good land Lies waste. Another cause of di affection ia the license feos of thirty | sbillings per month, which is imposed upon the diggers. ‘Within the past few days large meeting of tue diggers have been beid in M Ibourus aad at the diggings. and re- solutiors of the most foreible character have been pas-e | and passive and arm»: resistance haa byen poral upon. A deputetion from the diggers had as interview with the Governor, whea he told them ha was preparad | “40 do his duty,” and would enforce the law by an arned | force. The conduct of the police and the myrmitons of the Governor at the ¢ gyinzs is really brutal; if # maa is ansble to psy his Heense fee he is chained for days toa | ‘tree or 8 Jog.

That your Excellency! knowledge of the trade, popu- lation, and requirements of the colony, will, your memo- rialieta feel conficent, confirm the claims of the marcan- tile and general Papas 4) that to serve its comercial wants thzee mails monthly at the least are necewary between Australia and Kngland; ove by each of the three «reat routes which connect the two countries, viz: vis the Isthmas of Susz, Cape of Good Hope, and the [sshmus of Panama, thus giving three departures in the month from England and vice versa which would have the vast advantage of affording @ montbly commanic>tion to and fro with India, China, the Cape of Good Hope, United States of America, the West Indies, California. the West Coast of South America, the West Iodies, Brazils and the Pacific Porta, New Zealand, &c . all convected with us by trade and social rela'it ns; the geographical position of Avstralia rendering it practi :able to embrace oomnu nication with ali these places without interieriog with the direct course from England That the means for the immedi: etadlishment ofa moathly msil service by each of the three r-utes above montioned are in exis\ence, and can be availed of by the | government at a comparat vely trifling cost, inasm ich as steam companies ethigh charac’e: and proved efficiency are at present carrying on + perations wholly or in part over the: router, ‘That there is a concentration o! the mails from Eglan¢, india, and China, once every fertright at Sing pore, froat which paint a mail wight be despatched to Ast alia once ® month, iostead of alterra‘e moathsas at present.

That your memorialists’ would beg respectfully to | reoresent to your Excelloucy audio Her Majesty's govern- ment, that the want of adequate postal communication completely ditarranges the trade of Australia with Eng- land aud other countries, and converts the most careful and legitimate spe ations of commerce into hazardous Speculations. Your memorial s may instance that Curing the three months ending 8th July, 1653, there Were about 650 vessels, making an aggregate of 159 000 tons, eutered inwards in the yort of Melbourne alone, during which pericd there was but one regular mail despa'ched to England and none to America, notvith- standing the urgent necessity fur frequent alvices from | the ch. nge in value of all commodities produced ny thee arrivals; aad your membrialists submit that a commerca - of such magnitude and importance cannot safely be left dependant upon advices by chance opportunities and private ships, That the ouly regular postal service at present existing with Australia is tuat carried on by the Peniasulir and | Oriental Steam Navigation Company once in every witer nate wonth, being but six conveyances in the year; aud it is with the utmost regret that your memor{slists ob serve by recent accounts from England that the Yost Office euthozities there instead of placicg the mail sec vice on a ticn and comprebeasive basis, 80 as to suit the wante of the Australian community, merely propove to wake special bargains with accidental ships, for the con veyance of six mails im the year, via the Cape fcom Bag- Isnd, to Australia, while there is uo attempt at any pro- vision for the conveyance ef the homeward mails from Australia. : Tht, as your Excellency is no doubt avare, th sargement for » two-monthly mail via Exs pt, and a «1ni- la» reeview, via the Cape, were considered necessary be- fore the ducovery of gold in Ausiratia, It was but as initiatory experiment, and has proved utterly insufficient né tpeuited to the circumstarces of this country, the vast infiux of population and increase of trade renier og the present wants of these coloni Lose which that arrangement intended to ve ve, the ing increased proporticnately. That the trade and immigration, then almost excla: sively limited to England, are now extended to all tha — maocufecturtrg and commercial countries of the world. ‘That it is with reluctance that your memorialists feel called upon to press these consideratio.# on the at’en- tion of your Exceilency and the home governrasnt; bat the colony is ut present suffering from the want ot aie quate postal communication, aud any further delay ia securing it threatens to inflict a lasting injury. And your memorialts feel conviaced that the expediant pro posed by the London Post Offics authorities, if atopet, Will have the effect of intreasing tha e nbarrassaveit your Low sciler, and of postponins those perma nent and © hensive arrangements which must eoone: or late: be mas! That your memoriallsts would beg leave reapestfally to state their unqualitied eaaviction thet the mail aervioa between Australia and the mother couatry shoald mot be settl d with exclusive reference to economy ia the cost of conducting it, or treated merely as an ins rument of fence, The direct revenue accruing ‘rom such A 89.itce, however large, must bear but # miaute proportion to the iadirsct advantage which its results confer on the goveranent an! the entirecommunity and your metaorialists may be per mitted again to impress upon your Exceileusy ani the imperial governmen’ that, in the cireumstaness of these colonies, the need tx peculiarly urgent, and the question assumes a higher c) aracter tian belongs to the mere ay cal consideration of it. That, in connection with the main purpose of haviog & frequent mail communication, your memorialists beg to place before your Excellency the folowing surgestioas, which were recommenced by the mesting at which the present memorial wax adopted, viz. :-— That Melbourne could advantageously be made the first port of arrival and last port of departure for ome or more e hope you will use your pen in behalf of postal com- | °F the liner of steum communication required.
