Files of the Sydney Herald up to the 26th Oc- tober have reached us per Euphrates. The state of the Colony appears to be truly distressing, the number of Insolvents daily presenting themselves does not appear to diminish, while the amount of their assets compared with their liabilities conti- nues as small as ever. Several parties hitherto considered as most substantial, and believed to be men of wealth, have boon compelled to yield to the pressure of the times. The colonial journals ap- pear however to hope that the worst is past, and that a gradual return of confidence and prosperity may be expected.
In the slative Council there has been much debating and some considerab e progress has been made in ferable hen lowing of am
