The New-Zealander.

AUCKLAND, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 16, 1853.

Be just and fear not: Let all the ends thou aim's! at, be thy Country’s, Thy God’s, and Truth’s.

By the Alycrine, which arrived in our harbour on Monday, we have the Sydney journals to the 3rd hist., being five days later than those received by the Heather Hell. The Sydney steamer, with an English mail had arrived at Melbourne, but the mail had not reached Sydney, although it might easily have been forwarded by the Hellespont which

sailed from Melbourne on the day after its arrival there. The bulk of the English mail j for Auckland would probably, however, be on board the Vimiera , of which as yet there was no account.

From these papers we learn with regret the doalh of Captain Sir Evcrard Home, of H.M.S. Calliope, which look place at Sydney on the 2nd insl., in consequence of paralysis by which he had been attacked while the Calliope was off Kuwait. An article from the Herald, including a biographical notice of Sir Evcrard, will bo found in another column. Captain Gennys, of H.M.S, Fanlome, was lo take command of the Calliope, as acting' Captain. The price of Flour at Sydney was 2 SI. for fine, 23 1, for seconds. A cargo of bread stuffs, including 5000 bags of flour, had arrived from Chile on the 30lh nil. The following, from the Herat I of the 51st ult. is both commercially and politically important: — China. “Advices have been received from China to the latter end of August via Singapore and Ralavia, by the Martin Luther, confirming those previously sent, of the extreme scarcity of money. Exchange had . further advanced, and at Shanghai had reached the enormous rate of 7s. 3d. per dollar, and at Canton 3s. dO'.d. was the rale quoted, with no prospect of a decline for a length of time. This must seriously affect the shipments of teas lo all parts, rendering them both scarce and dear; as, besides the enhanced cost from the rise in the exchange, the leas themselves, from scarcity, ,are fully 3 taels per pecul dearer than last season. The letter received further mentions that Pekin was in the hands of the insurgents.”
