By tho fire on tbe lluahinc 3000 Watefuiohys—gold, silver, and nickel-were destroyed, and ibis interruption in the regular inflow has kept the market bare till the landing of the present parcel. The Hon. Dr. Pollen staled in tho Legislative Council that 95,000 Adult Miles pay the whole of this colony's taxation, raaiulains its Oil Service, run its railways and public works and form tho nucleus of thccolony's prosperity; and yot to this very limited population over 120,000 Wathhiubts havo been sold and delivered, and tho ship, mentnow amling consists oi 2880 Watemhms which is followed by the Elinor Vernon, due 2880 Moim, all sold already to the wholesale |rai]o who have been waiting supplies for from thrcp to four months.
