Commercial Record.
A favo ,- able change in the weather has taken place since our last, and our stocks of produce jn the ground -begin to look healthy. The news from Melbourne has bad a tendency to make prices easier; and our merchants are anxiously expecting the arrival of the Gil Blas from Sydney with the September English mail, meantime business is almost at a stand still -
MELBOURNE.
The Gertrude arrived on Saturday last from Melbourne, with flies to the 6th instant. A commercial dead lock was fully expected—and, no doubt very justly—from ovei-trading and superfluous importations. Flour, oats, bran and sugars show a decline in quotations, in fact almost every article of extensive consumption shows a decline in price. Several fail ures had taken place. Mr. Edward Wilson, late Editor, and one of the proprietors of the once popular Argus, had returned from a visit to the Murray aud Adelaide. Small pox was alarming the Victorians, and from the reports before us it was assuming a serious aspect. In politics nothing new to report. The English September mail had not arrived when the Gertrude left. It was due the day before.
