SYDNEY LABOUR MARKET.

FRIDAY, 30th JULY.

My engagements this week have been of a general class for town and country, at about the current rate of wages. As the roads into the interior become passable, the orders for all descriptions of labour increase, and the demand from the pastoral districts are beginning to press upon a market by no means overstocked with very efficient and suitable hands. Under these circumstances, the "Fitzjames" has just arrived from England, very opportunely, with upwards of 450 immigrants of a mixed class. Wages among some kinds of mechanics, are said to be, if anything, downward in their tendency-on account of the great number still out of employment In the city.

W. B. HAIGH, corner King and Castlereagh streets.

The "Fitzjames" has arrived with 450 immigrants of a suitable class for agricultural purposes. Our demand for such description is still large, and wages are supported; thirty-five pounds being the ruling rate when able to plough, & Married couples, also in request at the late reduction in their currency. Mechanics are not much enquired for. Engagements have been made to some extent, for shepherds, bullock drivers, and bushmen, for the country districts. Female servants offer to take situations at very moderate wages, for both in and out of Sydney. - SPENCER ASHLIN, 139, Pitt-street North.

ORDERS this week comprise principally farm servants, for which there is a pressing demand. The arrival of the Fitzjames with immigrants this week, will enable us to execute orders unavoidably delayed. Married couples, for farm and house work, about equal to demand. Bullock drivers, sawyers, brickmakers, and gardeners, can meet with ready engagements. Female cooks are in request. General house servants, housemaids, and nurse maids, are in excess of demand, and will readily hire for country service. Wages remain about same as last. - J. C. GLUE, Pitt-street North.
