Tbade of the Port of Bi ? isTox .- ^ The Customs duties received at Bristol for the month ending the 31 st of August last amounted to 111 , 489 ; . 7 s , 7 d ., and were the largest receipt for the month on record at this port . The exports of coal to foreign ports for the month of August show a falling off of 206 tons as compared with the month of July ; but in iron there has been a considerable increase in the exportation during the month of August as compared with the preceding month . During the latter period the exports were 2484 tons , but in August the exports of iron amounted to 4522 tons , showing an increase of 2038 tons for the month .
New South Wales . —The ship Duncan Dunbar sailed from Plymouth on Monday for Sydney , with" a cargo of British manufactured . goods valued at Upwards of 100 , OOOJ . She takes 50 cabin and 20 steerage passengers , principally old colonists ; and a very fine threeyear-old Durham bull , for the purpose of improving stock ; also seven other selected bulls * , two ¦ Shetland ponies , and 20 Merino rams . She has in addition four hares ( which survived the Channel passage ) , eight pheasants , a number of fancy Dorking fowls , and a variety of birds ; ten boxes of valuable plants for Sir William M'Arthur and Mr . Mort , and four for the Botanical Gardens at Sydney . The Duncan Dunbar made last year a passage out in 98 days and home in 93 . Shewill . followed in October by the Camperdown .
Melbourne and Suburban Railway . —The first sod of the Melbourne and Suburban Railway was turned on the 1 st of July , by the Governor , in the presence of some 3000 spectators . The day being the anniversary of the separation of Port Phillip from New South Wales , and its elevation into a distinct colony , was observed as a general holiday ; a circumstance which , of course , gave additional eclat , to the interesting incident mentioned . The works are to be pushed on without delay . Rise in the Value . of Tay Salmon Fishings . —The salmon fishings belonging to the city of Perth were , on Thursday , let by public roup on a lease of three years , at the . annual rent of 13901 . The rent paid for the fishings last year was only 8701 , making thus a rise upon the rental for three years to come of 5207 .
Injury to the Herring Fishery est Scotland . — The trawl net or draught net is ruining the fishing , and Government interference is as much required here as when it says that shell fish or salmon shall not be taken at particular seasons . The herrings when about to spawn come Close on shore , and can be seen in the water , provided there is no moonlight . The herrings are then exactly in the condition of spawning salmon on the racks and shallows of a stream , and it is destruction of the most fatal kind to take them in such circumstances . The brood fish and the spawn are immolated together , and as it is well known that fish haunt particular places
to spawn , and can be driven away by constant interference , it is of vital importance to the herring interest that the spawning places should be undisturbed , as the next year s crop depends on . the successful spawning of the parent fish . The trawl fishing is a barbarous abuse of the gifts that have been lavished on the coast of Scotland , and if not stopped at once it' ought to be made the subject of immediate regulation , with a view to pre ^ vent farther injury to the crop of herrings . All _ parties agree that the herring fishing is rapidly deteriorating every year , and almost all attributo the fact to the derstruction by the trawls . — Glasgow Commanwealt 7 i .
The Western Bank of Scotland . —The Scotsman states that the subscription for the relief of the persons rendered destitute by the failure of this bank now amounts to 8730 / . The mitigation that can thus be afforded to the mass of existing misery will of course be utterly insignificant , the total squandered having been about two or three millions . From the recent decision at Liverpool , however , some of the heaviest sufferers will be encouraged to hoj » e for more substantial redress by proceedings against the directors . Many of them are beyond help , but their families remain to seek it . Every week furnishes some new instance of the results of this gigantic iniquity .
Scottish Central Railway . —It appears the directors of this company intend to propose a dividend for the half-year ending the 31 st of July last at the rate of 5 £ per cent , per annum on the ordinary stock . The dividend for the corresponding period of 1857 was at tlio samo rate . Northamptonshire Ironstone . — There is more ironstone now being sent out of this country than was over previously known , and this fact seems to indicate nn improvement in the iron trade . Largo quantities of stono are daily being sent from the Gayton Stono Works to Walos and Staffordshire , and it seoms somowhnt singular that just as the mineral tronsuroa , of Staffordshire are shoeing indications of exhaustion this immenso tract of ironstone in Northamptonshire is being developed . We nro informed that tho finest description of nig iron is made from this ore . ,
Coniston Railway . —Tho half-yearly roport states that , with one exception , tho company have not boon compelled to uso tho compulsory powers of their Act foe obtaining possossiou of property , tlio landowners having , in cases of dill'ereuco between tho company and thoraeclvos , allowocl tho works to procood . Tho contractors arc not carrying on tho works with that energy with which thoy commenced , and it will bo necessary to tako such atops as arc provided for in tho contract , so as to onsuro tho opening of tho ra ilway flu , the , eourao-of-noxt ¦ uummor-r "" ' w " FuitNKsa Rauavay . —TIio hulf-yoarly roport of this railway recommends that a dividend at tho rate of 7 per cent , per annum bo declared for tho yoar ending' tho 80 th Juno last .
Glahqow . —Tho Customs Rovonuo in Glasgow for tho month ending Slat August was GO , Q 99 J ., being an inoroasa of about 18 , 000 f . over August 1857 ; Groonook , G < V 2 ' 297 ., being an increase of { 30 , 058 / . ; Port-Glasgow , 785-U , HJoinga dooroaso of XVQkl ,
Lifeboat Service . —On the 2 nd inst . the American bark , Harriet Francis , ran on the Arklow bank . She was fortunately seen from Arklow , eight or nine miles from the scene of the disaster ; the lifeboat stationed at that place proceeded to her assistance , and succeeded in taking off eleven of her crew in a very heavy sea . The vessel became a total wreck . The remainder of the bark ' s crew , four in number , had taken to another boat , which was upset ; they were picked up . The Arklow lifeboat belongs to the Royal National Lifeboat
Institution . Rotterdam Coffee Sale . —At the autumn coffee sale of the Dutch Trading Company , held a few days ago in Rotterdam , the largest stock ever known at one sale was brought to the hammer . It consisted of about 800 * bales- —but large as the stock was , it was not equal to the demand . It brought up about a penny a pound above the brokers ' estimate , and the sum realised was about two and a half millions sterling . One half of this total was pure profit to the Government , while the brokers ' commissions amount to 35 , 000 ? .
The Harvest in Gloucestershire . —Harvest operations in this county may be said to be ended , and ,, on the whole , the crops are good , and have been got in in prime condition . Within the last fortnight , however , the potato disease has reappeared , and it is feared the yield wiU be below an average . Other green and root crops are looking well . The apple crop is light . Value of Land odt K . ENT . ^ r-The Acrise estate , ¦ which stretches for several miles between Elham and Canterbury , including four manors and extending over seveil parishes , has just been sold for 190 , 000 / ., including timber , to Mr . Mackinnon , M-P .
. State of Trade in France . —The latest accounts received from the departments announce a gradual improvement in commercial affairs . It must not , however , 'be supposed from these announcements that trade is flourishing throughout France . A resolution adopted by the Council-General of the department of the Nord demonstrates , on the contrary , that the commercial crisis is still severely felt in that most industrious department . The Corn Trade in France . —On Saturday the
prices of grain of all kinds at Marseilles remained flat , under the influence of the late arrivals . No business was made on account , because the decision of the Government on the future grain duties has not yet been given . At Orleans the market was likewise weak . At Chartros business was lively , the market being stocked with the ordinary supply . At Nancy offers were large , and sales difficult . More towards the north , in Arras , for instance , the markets were not so well provided , and a rise of 50 per cent , per hectolitre has taken place in wheat , nono in oats .
Tins French Colonies . —Tho Riivue Coloniale of last month furnishes tho following information relative to the present stuto of immigration in the French , colonies : —The colony of Reunion had , on the 1 st of January last , 53 , 175 immigrants , of whom 36 , 14-1 were Indians , 451 Chinese , 10 , 609 Africans , and 71 natives of the different islands of Oceania . On tho 1 st of January , 1857 , tha number was only 50 , 227 . This abundant supply of workmen is explained by tho encouragement which Reunion has always aflbrded to the entrance of Indians and blacks . Tho ordinary premium given is 500 f . Tho wages paid is about lOf . a month , ami a free passage back to their country is always guaranteed to each immigrant . Tho Indians and Africans uro tho
most highly ya . lued . by tho colonists as labourors ; tho Chihoso are not in groat repute . French Guiana in 1857 only received 250 immigrants , nnd tho total numbor thoro on tho 1 st of January , 1858 , was 1315 , of whom 872 woro Africans and -1115 Indians . According to a contract entered into -with a house at Nantes , tho premium given foroach adult African was , in 1857 , 8 ' 29 f ., but from tho difficulties which arono in recruiting thdm , tho price roso to 500 f . Tho wagos paid arc on an averago 12 f . 5 Oo . a month , with food and medical attendanoa . Martiniquo , in Juno , 1858 , had 4027 immintsof whom

Gold in New Brunswick . — -We do not pretend to say in-what quantity gold has been discovered on the river ' s bank above Government-house , about half a mile from the city . This morning the shore is crowded with parties gathering the sand , and washing it out in the river . Portions of it have been tested in various -ways by the jewellers , and we have their authority for stating that it is the genuine article , of very good quality . —• Fredericton Reporter ( New Brunswick and Nova Scotia ) , August 6 . .
Bristol Leather Fair . —This fair commenced yesterday . There was a large attendance of tarmer 3 and factors , but very few buyers , which was anticipated , considering the very heavy sales of leather made during the past two months . The fine weather has brought a fair supply of dressing leather , but very little sole leather has been exhibited for sale ; indeed , there is not much left in the hands of the tanners suited to the demand of this market . There is no doubt that another month will bring renewed activity and higher prices . Offal is exceedingly scarce .
A New Trade with China . ;—Some of the merchants of Liverpool are anxious to open up a trade in salt within the vast dominions of the Emperor of China , and they have memorialised Lord Malmesbury to take care , if not too late , that free-trade in salt should be an article of any new treaty we make with the Chinese authorities ; At present the salt trade in China is a great monopoly . The Channel Islands Telegraph , which has just jeen successfully laid , is understood to have cost 2 5 , 000 £ The company have a Government guarantee of 6 per cent , for twenty-five years on their entire capital of 30 , 000 J . A dividend equal to 7 per cent , can , therefore , be realised for the shareholders during that period , supposing the communication to remain uninterrupted .
SIercanttle Steam MARiNE . ^ -It appears from a parliamentary return just issued , that the number of steam vessels registered in the United Kingdom on or before the 1 st of January last , was 1785 , with a tonnage of 408 , 702 .
