** RETURN OF DR. LEICHARDT.- We have the highest satisfaction in "announcing to our readers that Dr Leichardt has returned to Sydney, from his overland expedition to Port Es sington, having successfully achieved the object he had in view. For the particulars of the expedition we must refer our renders to the abstract to the Ductor's modestly written journal, which shows that the difficulties to be overcome were neither fow nor light, but with an energy and courage, rarely to be met with be succeeded in overcoming them all, and has the high honour of being the first man who crossed from the eastern to the western side of Australia. It will require a more careful of the interesting journey than we have been enn. bled to give it in the short time it has been in our its to enumerate all the adran. possessions to enable tages likely to accrue to the colony, from the infor mation which has been obtained, but there can he no doubt that the knowledge that there is a large quantay of good land between the Galph of Car. peuoria and the east const will be the cause of the early formation of a settlement to the northward of Halifar Bay.

Dr. Leichardt has done that which must cause his name to be enrolled among the benefactors of Australia, and we are sure that the colonists will not be backward in showing that they appreciate Sandalwood, Malabar the value of his services. fle ought to be reward. ed both privately and publicly. The Legislative Council ought to make him a present of £500, and divide a similar su among the parties who ac coupagied him. The colonists ought also to sub. scribe at least £500, so that Dr Leichardt may be presented with £1000. Eighteen dreary months have Dr Laichardt and his party been engaged in the task which they have performed, so that very moderate salaries for that period will reach the a mount we have named.

(From the Australian Journal, April 21.) SUGGESTIONS ARISING FROM THE
LAST QUARTER'S REVENUE. By a statement made is our last number, there appeared an increase of the Revenue in some bran-mandent of a garrison, for the sake of the married, ches and a deficiency in others; the aggregate of the former, however, exceeding those of the latter by the sum of £3,115, or about 5 per cent on the gross Revenge.
The gross increase was £9,760, or about 17 per cent. The gross decrease trus £6,851, or about 11 per cent.
The increase on Tolmezo being about 10 per cent we conclude, that less smuggling has taken plice the last quarter than in the corresponding quarter of 1845, because the use of Colonial tobacco has certainly been increasing every month the last two years,
The increase on foreign goods being about 78 per cent shews both the focused demand for goods, and the increased confidence in the Colony by Bri- ush shippers,
The fees on the entry and clearance of vessels, whatinge, light house dues, and quay rent, being about 75 per cent proves the same thing, and also, that our country trade has not diminished.
