THE GOLD FIELDS OF AUSTRALIA. Mr. John Fairfax, editor of the Sydney Nom* liread, who is now spun • visit to this aoratry, delivered s beton. on the Australian gold fields, to • numeroussun, Leamiugton, on Wedoesday. Auer lirietly describing the geographical position and features of Australia, Mr. Fairfax gave • cones. sketch of .press 1.111 C.: the first discovery of the island by this its ' u rel, affording at the same time some interesting infer wawa reelecting the aborigines of New Holland, and pointing out the relative positions and chi,. To ., to of the respective colonies. The origin . 10 ,1 regrew of the important settlements were mo d with great minutenee. He poured out the gu t", of the couviet system, and showed the wonderful rue of l'ort l'hillip since 1840, when it ceased to be a ors vict sttlesent. The lecturer than directed the attention of his hearers to the religion, politico, commerce, &grits!. toe, and statistics of New South Wales. The state-paid churches an the English, the Scotch, the Wesleyan, and goatee catholic. The total amount paid to them in 1630 no.. Abut .0/.. 1 001.

Atter some valuable observations en the progress of the commercial interests, the lee tuna a. at captained the manner in which this gold s hod beta made, quoting the opinions and pudic.

The an o.rr, f the earth have been opened up under the spe wc pr.viden.e of floil himself. At the moment when you t'r”tal l'alsce was thrown open to the admiring gage e: Lampe, a far distant colony was presenting her fear dicinetion and tame. The May of 1851, am both ..we et the clot*, is indeed a memorable era. Sever may the ilublren gel Britain on those distant shoran be • disgrace sole parent state. Het may the honour, the virtue, the ib.iney.4 moral characer, and, above all, the pure religion of :tor &hie, be transplanted sad cultivated on their 'inl— aid as the tender plant, to wither and die in • day, but as the cohls o whose nets deepen, widen, and strengthen, ty the steer...ay And storms of tone.

The ta, anat wants of the colonists are capital end labour. r employment on • large scale is constantly being pre,. slid. There are minis of wealth only waiting invest raeota, sail requiring men to work them. The railroad napes) base advertised for 200 men; and in a retest 1.3. r from the president of that company, he infoems si tbst the contractor contemplates giving up the con pet in consequence of being usable to obtaia men. I,e Bathurst Copper Mining Company', In the Herald 01 April 17, advertises for 100 rasa. In the southern u..trut • new copper mine has been discovered; the ore ho been transmitted to England for smelting, sad it hie !sin prenoliaced equal in the yield to the Burrs BUM. I In, also nat a stand. Tile Fitzroy Iron Miring Company in a similar position. It is situate at Mingo's', on the pest southern road, within 70 miles of Sydney, and extends over • surface of about 12 acres. It is doubtless of volcanic formation. as three distinct mounds or craters appear, and the lava (iron ore), instead of the general pumice stone, tt ors from each mound of a depth of from 6to 10 feet. 1.4 wield of this mine is remarkable. When smelted the on produces steel of a moat *opener character. (The lec turer exhibited specimens of las on in its original state, ',dot the metal in its manufactured state.) Those facts are ,tough to show that capital and labour are required. My &tree, however, I may be permitted to tender to two or thoe climes. To the masters or workmen who an doing well in England I suggest the old motto, " Let well slate." but if you are struggling with difficulties which appear ancenquerable, wino up your affairs and try the colonies. Ibeve we are not so thick upon the ground, and with the preset beef at 24. and mutton at ltd. you saanot, you seed not, starve. Not that I would hold out the expects. boa of soreces without exertion—of fortune without the ap pliance of iadastry—nr of the quiet repose of old age with out thrift and care in early and middle life. The ' Battle of Lila' must be fought lustily and bravely on both sides the world. And moral worth is as valuable mad as highly posed there as here. Theopening, for th e arricultural labourer, and the master err journeyman tradesman, are astonishing. I will only mention one instance ; it was told me by the Rev. Mr. Mac hearse, • fellow passenger from Sydney to Ragland, and I ea sere is only a specimen of the increase in the prim of all Lads of handicraft. He says, ' Happening to break part of the harness of one of the bonne I wan driving, I desired my servant to carry the broken part to a saddler's shop in ceder to get it mended. I accompanied the man. We tra velled from shop to shop, till we had visited three or four of them, before we found • man in say of them; all the men bang gees to the diggings, the shops ware lett seder the chuite of their wives or daughters. At last we niesthed a saddkr's shop, in which I saw a little boy of sine or ten yean of age, who said he thought he could mead the broken boom; an d he did so IA • few minutes. I stood look ing at him while at work, and when he bad finished I asked kim what was to pay, expecting that he would say, one shilLog His eeply, • however, was, "Half • ammo, Sir. you sham" 1 said.

Teti/ it altogether, we never knew a meeting go of as *man y. The police arrangements, under the direction of Superin tendents May, Pierce, and Lund, assisted by Inspector Field, Sergeant Langley, end a large body of detectives, were admirable throaghout the week. Not waiting the commission of robbenes, and acting under the instruction of the Duke of Richmond, every keown convicted thief was plumed upon the instant of his appearance on his grace's property, and at once sent off to Petwortb House of Correction. In this manner no less than lb fellows--several of them dressed in fashionable style—were captured on the first day of the races. One of the parties had notes in his possession to the amount of upwards of 1001., and stolen country notes were found on some of tho others. In each ease where a previous conviction was clearly proved justice was speedily administered by sending the prisoner off to Petworth for three months, notwithstanding appeals against the decision and actions against the duke were threatened by several of the parties. The " justice-room" was in the stand, and the cute were adjudicated upon by the Duke of Richmond himself, sedated by the Ilon. Captain Carnegie. The Brighton .

(free the Daily Kam) The " menial of tenants" is a subject of general complaint throophont the kingdom with reference to the county elections. Sir GEORGE OBEY in North umberland says, in alluding to those who there exercised an " undue influence and coercion over honest voters," that their name is legion. He speak. indignantly of the practice, and although he observes that there are honourable exceptions to it, he seems now to express himself in a tone of modified objection to the ballot. The Conservatives resort to coercion as s riflst. This is their only intelligible apology, and when the Liberals practise the same iniquity, they soothe their consciences by what they term the necessity of self-defence. If a man of genuine liberal principles dares to separate himself from his class by proclaiming freedom to his tenants, he is considered a disturber of its just privileges and a traitor to its interests. Attention must be drawn to this subject by a oorre spondence, given in another column, from the Montfort( Mercury, between Mr. D'ETNCOVET, the late mem ber for Lambeth, and Mr. RHODES, a gentleman who writes to him in a friendly spirit—both being parti sans of Sir MONTAGU CHOLIIELET, who was defeated in North Lincolnshire by the Conservative coalition of Mr. CHRISTOPHER and Mr. STANHOPE. Mr. 11T.Yricoutcr, it seems, acting, as he has ever con *latently done, upon the public principles which ought to have sustained him in his late contest, emancipates his tenantry, and allows them to judge for themselves. The gratifying consequence is, as ap pears from the correspondence, that for the most part they act with him, guided either by their own cons ictions or by the affectionate reciprocation of u noble confidence. But still this " liberality " (which is the name unduly given to the simple honesty of " mune cuigue") has—it would seem from its rarity in that aboriginal region—challenged some untoward remarks amongst the natives. It is clear that both parties have, in the Lincoln shire and other county contests, to a considerable extent applied the screw to their tenants, and that the evil predicted from the Chandos clause without. the ballot, is increasing fearfully. When both sides coerce, it is a war of violence, not so much between the contending parties, as against their tenants and dependents, who are sacrificed in a manner which reduces them to the condition of serfs. A slave may be humiliated and subdued by corporal chastise ment; yet ho may not be demoralised. But the de basement of a mind coerced, and a conscience vio lated, is infinitely more cruel and crushing to the moral being—to the reel and inner man—than the moat sanguinary tortures. Independently of the in calculable injury to society at large by the derange ment of those genial ties which hold it together, the most vital of all constitutional rights is invaded and stolen by those who pretend that they will be its advocates and protectors in the House of Commons. The suffrage is given to a tenant in respect of his own interest in, and capital employed upon, his farm. If it were inten ded for the destination of the land lord, he would be the party appointed to exercise it, and not the tenant. Moreover, this franchise is a trust imposing on those endowed with it the sacred duty of exercising their independent judgment to select the parties most fit to deal with the lives, liberties, and dearest interests of the entire people in the great council of the nation. If, therefore, an elector votes for a candidate whose views and prin ciples are in his opinion dangerous to the state, he commits a treason ; and to compel him so to vote is not only a great public crime which ought to be severely punished, but an atrocity practised upon a dependent entitled to his protection. Instead of protecting—he not only robe him of his noblest privilege, but forces him to prostitute it and betray his trust by the vile and degrading operation of voting against the dictates of his conscience. Tenants are too often thus treated as the abject tools of the landlord. The practice, as shown in the present correspondence, of making courteous appli cations to gentlemen for "permission" to canvass their tenants, proves that some—doubtless many — landlords, fancy they may keep their tenants in a preserve like their pheasants--encage them in a sort of political harem—not permitting their seclusion to be violated without a formal sanction from them selves. But a tenant may justly consider himself insulted by the solicitation, on the one hand, and by the deliberate granting on the other, of • permission which no man has a right to withhold. If bribery be punished, why should not coercion lie punished also ? For this is bribery of an exaggerated description. If an elector refuse the offer of 204 for his vote, he is in no worse condition than lv was before ; but a menace, expressed or implied, to deprive a tenant of a farm where his family is domicihated, and his I capital and labour have been embarked for years, presents a desolation, to encounter which a larger stock of patriotism and stronger nerves are required than fall to the oriinary lot of humanity. Who can doubt that it is at least as corrupt and base to threaten an evil as to promise a benefit? And in fact the species of threat to which we refer is the most effective form in which corruption can be ad ministered. The law should either prevent or avenge it. Surely the denunciation of such men as Sir amain GREY wholesome examples like that afforded by the D'Enteouar oorrespondeuce—and the stern agency of public opinion must have their effect with those now inflicting upon us the scandal of such proceedings. If not—as Sir Geogoe GREY declaree—" the demand for the ballot will be irresis tible," even from that party who have been hitherto its opponents.

I .EXTIAOSDINAST, IP TRUlL—According to some 1 Italian journals, a law organised being has been discovered in the Interior of Africa, which seems to form an imme. &ate lick between vegetable and animal life. This singu lar production of nature has the shape of a spotted serpent. It drags itself aloe( on the ground ; instead of a head had a Sower, shaped like a bell, which contains a viscous liquid. Flies and other insects, attracted by the smell of the juice, enter into the flower, where they are caught b 7 the adhe sive matter. The flower then closes, and remains shut un til the prisoners are bruised and transformed iato chyle. The Indigestible portico, such as the Mad sad wings, are thrown sot by espial openings. The vegetable serpent has a shin resembling leaves, a white and soft flesh, and instead of a bony skektoo, a cartilaginous frame, filled with y el:ow marrow. The natives consider it a delicious food. THE NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE CONTEST. (Prom the Muoferel Memory.) _ . Some observations having been made as to the •r COUrell taken by Mr. D'Eyncourt during the late contest for North Linenhashiro with regard to his tenants in that t trict, we publish the following explanatory correspondence: 4 MA. SHODZII TO 211. D'ITXCOCRT. "Market Essen, July 22, 1942. "My dear mentioned to you on Monday last that * Sir Montague Cholmeley' s friends complained of some let ter which you had written in answer to an application from I Mr. Christopher's committee for leave to cancan your te- .4 tantry in this part of Lincolnshire, as giving moorage meat cad assistance to the conservative party. I have. since our conversation ' stated to many what I understood from you to have been the contents of that letter • but still -v such an impression remains that so me more distinct expla nation is due to yourself. Can you send me a copy of the letter in question 7 lam confident it could not authorise the use of your name to influence your tenants to vote for Mr. Christopher ; indeed, I find that the great majority of them voted as you did, for Sir Montague Cholmeley alone ; and, with two or three exceptions, they all gave Oita a hearty support.

"My dear Sir,—l received yours of the 22d inst., and having obtained from lie. Christopher's committee a copy of the letter to which you refer, I enclose it, with a copy also of that to which it is an answer. To other applications of the same description I have uniformly given a similar reply, which does nut, in my opinion, require an apology. You will oblige me by making any use you please of this communication, to satisfy those who may retain a doubt as to the propriety of my conduct, and I return you my best thanks for the interest you have kindly taken in my behalf.

Gloucester-place, Portman-square, July 11, 15.52. Dear Sir,—l have yours of yesterday. I had a similar letter lately from Mr. Wilson, of Louth. Although I felt obliged by the courtesy shown mo by your letter, I have neither the right our the wish to prevent Mr Christopher or any one from canvassing my tenants, provided, of course, that my name he not made use of. " 1 never canvass my tenants myself fur any one, nor permit my agents to do so, wishing them to be entirely at liberty; but I need not say that, for the most part, 1 un derstand they have a wish to vote as I do, which i. a kind and natural wish on their parts ; although l wk, nu offence if they vote otherwise. " As I learn the other candidates have canvassed several of my tenants, it would be very unfair in me to prevent Mr. Christopher from doing the same; neither have I, as I said before, the slightest desire to do so.

Tho directors of this company hare issued a long statement in respect to various proceeding. taken by certain shareholders, who are endeavouring to bring about an agree ment for a lease of the line to the London and North Western Company, at a rant equivalent to 41 per cent per annum. The directors state that a binding agreement, under seal, already exists between the hbrewshury and Chester, the Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and the Great Western Railway Companies for the working of the lines and the interchange of traffic, which agreement will take the precedence of any other that may be proisused ; that not only have the Great Western kept faith with the com pany, but they have consented, conditionally, to several modifications for the clear benefit of the Shrewsbury and Chester Company, which were pressed upon them by the directors of the latter company. They maintain that the policy which makes the line a part of a great scheme of con tinuous railway communication from Linden to the river Mersey has been successful In establishing its importance and value; that the Great Western is naturally identified with the interests of the Shrewsbury and Chester Company, while the interest of the London and North-Western has ever been, and must ever continue to be, opposed to that ' line of communication. In reference to the proceedings of the directors of the company b,fore parliament during the last session, they state that they have ob tained powers to confirm existing agreement., and to enter into new agreements with the l)uke of Bridgewater's trustee., which will afford the company a great accession of traffic from north to sauth, and un equalled goods station accommodation at Liverpool and Manchester. They have also obtained power to construct two shombranches, connecting the Birkenhead line, near Warrington, with the canals and navigation of the Bridge water trustees, which, when taken in connection with the running powers over the Birkenhead line towards Liver pool and Manchester, practically extends the Shrewsbury and Chester line to those places. They state that their ally the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company have obtained parliamentary powers authorising them to make use of the London 'lnd North-Western station at Birmingham. and, as they have already power to run over the Stour Valley line which Is now open, the chain of communication will be completed between Birmingham at one end and Man chester and Liverpool at the other. In conclusion, the direc tors state the shareholders may rest assured that a steady ad herence to the policy hitherto pursued, and to the agreements entered into fur carrying out that policy, is not merely the only course which can safely be adopted to protect them from interminable litigation, but that which will most weedily and certainly give them the best return on the plc party invested in the undertaking.

On Wednesday information was received in South Shields of a coble having been run down of Whitby, and three Shields pilots drowned. It appears from information gives by the master of the vessel, at the Trinity-house, Newcastle, and hem Inquiries made by the friends of the missinc men, that • Demi* sloop, the AIMS Masaretba, was coming down Ilse Yorkshire coast, abort 3 o'clock on the fl=inof the 26th. She had a squire sail set, and was t•d y • boy, the master being the only other person as deck at the time. They observed a cable with three men in her, and state her number to be 91, but that could nut be, uleo. 91 was in the harbour of Shields at that time. The pilots had felt desirous of getting on board, when, it would appear that, in consequence of the boy managing the helm improperly, the bowsprit of the sloop had caught thc roast of the coble and upset her. The master states that imme diately after the accident happened he wore round, but as the vessel was running at the rate of six miles an hour, it took sore time to do so, and when be got beck to the spot the able and men had timprared ; he saw nothing hut a wooden dish sad an oar fleabag. The oshle, there is every resew to think, is No. 94, belonging to South Shields, and the unfortunate men are supposed to be Robert Stephenson sad William Young, pilots, and Matthew Yo u ng, a b o y serving his time. The cause of the accident will be invests: gated before the magistrates.
