The motion was lost on a Miss Kate Hayes (says the Banner), the distin. ished son, psrticolar star’ world in North and South Amerisa, arrived in bourne on the 2lst, of September, by the Fanny Major.

LANGE & PLOOS VAN AMBTELL’S CIRCULAR. wwRNB, Victoria, Sept. 26, 1854. Our market bas been unusually quiet, and prices have generally receded. The rainy season, the heavy stocks, the scruples ef the banks and hesitation on the part o: the merchants, all combiae to make things very dull; which, although to an extent it is usual at this season, still the extraordinary combination of circumstances tend to hang a heavy gloom over the revival of this mar- ket for some time. ‘When we compare what the requirements of the popu- lation of Victoria are with their supplies, we come to this fact, that the average importations have, up to the last twelve months, varied from .£10 to £15 per head, and that the imports this last year for every person in Victoria amounts to £50.. It is thus clear that we are over supplied, which state of things must be rectified be- fore we can look for a truly healthy state of business. The success which has attended most parties here has given birth to extracrdinary requirements ond greatly ucreased consumption, owing chiefly to the lavish man- ner in which things are used and consumed. Blankets, for instance, which formerly were a luxury to the digger and carrier, can now, owing to their cheapness, be found covering his dray, and amuses himeelf along the road in tearing strips from his silk handkerchief to make a thong for his bullock whip. In fact, through everything runs that lavishing spirit, so that, taking the population into consideration, we have comparatively an increased daily consumption. ‘The banks, fully aware of this, are extremely chary in ording assistance, and a fortnight ago, would scarcely jscount first rate paper. They have, however, though. it more sensible not of a sudden completely to withdraw assistance from those who stood in need of it, andar» again easier. Under the present state of things, and the tightness of the money market, we cannot look back upon the course pursued by the ’ banks without congra- tulating the community that these unexpected proceed ings have not brought on a commercial crisis. Having spoken of the market generally, we wiah it to be borne in mind that of many articles our market is no: overstocked, the consumption laxge, and the production here either hone or trifling, and for the supply of which we look from Furope; such are oats, barley, malting and secd flour, bran, candles, butter, wines, claret, spark- limg hock,’ Rhine wine, &e.; raisins, figs, bricks, hops, iron, linseed oil, boiled and raw; cheese, Lacon, sardines, sugar, refined loaves and crushed; salad oil, ganny bage, timber, segers, real Havana, whitelead, kc. We have wpecified above articles, as we find that many shippers from one extreme are apt to run into the other, and be- cause many articles at a former period might bits wa? a in; for ) & ven- loss, seem to have resolved not to touch them it would appear that as prices have not improv ture is therefore uselsas. We would, however, that they would bear in mind tho charges en | were put to atwelyemonth ago, and those they are put to at presont, which, on bulky articles, is of more importance to he takon jnto consideration than the price, for in many cates the chafges have been so heavy as to swallow up the proceeds of thé gocds. In those times they had to contend with freights at p& ton £6 to £7; lighterage st from 40s. to 45s., which is now “s. 64. to 10s. a ton; cartage, which was considered a Joad then is not much more than half a load at pre- sent, Ming to the improvement in the roads. Warehouse rent fot bonded goods has falien from 88. to 4s, a ton, being a decline of 50 per cent, Warehouse room for free goods, which was a favor to obtain at 42., bas since re- ceded to 2s , and now to 2s. a ton, being a similar re- duction of from 25 to 50 per cent. Shippers, therefore, in making their calculations whether shipments will pay, must put aside their Account Sales with the former im- mense charges, and take the present reduced charges into eccount, ‘which will form a most important item; besides, there is little doubt that cl 's will come down stil further. We regret, at this juncture, to be obliged to notice that shippers are very apt to blame their cor- respondent here for yn charges, when these are local rates, and over which he can have no control. ‘The labour market, well supplied, has a great effect rates here. The cost of building is thereby reduc- ; affects rents, and ishes the cost of labor on gocds; the same with Ighterage. Warchousemen, mow ag 8 ‘sor oon time since, 700 @ week, are now 8.
