      Assay-office up to 20 th April was £ 222 , 678 18 7 Number of persons who had . left Adelaide for the gold mines , up to May last , was 18 , 000 The crown revenue in New South Wales and the adjacent colony "was expected to reach a million sterling per annum . During the week ending the 8 th May last , 5 , 000 ounces of gold had reached Sydney . The Slave Tkade . —In the last session , Mr . James Wilson procured a " return , as nearly as the same can be furnished , of the number of slaves _ninTv 5 rl-prl mi flip , _rnasf . nf Africa , and landed . in Cuba

      and Brazil in each year from 1842 to the latest date to which the accounts extend . " The reader will not fail to observe the qualifications with which these figures are set forth . The return extends from 1842 to 1851 , both years inclusive , and this offers a considerable field for survey . The chief promoter of this infamous commerce is Brazil , which has always been the largest purchaser of human fiesli . From 1842 to 1850 there were imported

      successively , year by year , into that country from Africa the following batches of slaves _;—17 _> 435 , 19 , 095 , 22 , 849 , 19 , 453 , 50 , 324 , 56 , 172 , 60 , 000 , 54 , 000 , and 23 , 000 . It will be observed from these figures that from 1842 to 1845 the slave traffic , though not apparently declining , was , at any rate , stationary , whereas , in 1846 , it received an extraordinary impulse , which for four successive years nearl y trebled its results . It is unnecessary to add that this increase coincided with those legislative acts

      which opened the British markets to Brazilian sugars . In 1850 , however , though the sugar trade retained all its freedom , the importation of slaves fell to 23 , 000—scarcely one-half its recent amount ; and m the next year the returns were more _reinaikable still . According to the paper before us , the figures , which from 1846 to 1849 had ranged from 50 . 000 to 60 , 000 , dropped in 1851 to 3 , 287 ! showing a decline in this nefarious traffic to less than one-fifth of the smallest importation previously known . The share of Cuba in this-detestable

      commerce , though large in proportion to the extent of territory , is absolutely much " smaller than that of Brazil . The numbers of the slaves imported into this island durincr the ten years specified were respectively , 3 , 630 , 8 , 000 , 10 , 000 , 1 , 300 , 410 , 1 , 450 , 1 , 500 , 8 , 700 , 3 , 500 , 5 , 000 . It will be seen that these figures present a singular and not very explicable contrast to those extracted above from the Brazilian returns , and that they indicate some

      sources of encouragement or discouragement entirely peculiar . In 1844 , the traffic was exceedingly large ; the next year it suddenly decreased by more than four-fifths ; and in 1846 , it declined to its lowest p oint .
