LAW HISTORIC Lid LTNDHURsT said that notice had been Rivera of the inmates of the government to introdoee a bill in the Ham of Commons on Monday week, with respect to the Over at Chancery. He wished to know whether that bill watt he handed es the report of the special conosiedon; end whether it was the intention of the government to tarry hate full and complete effect tho recommendations of that imesmionon ? The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the nodes to which his noble and learned nista referred, applied to a bill that would be framed on the report of the commissioners. Until he had seen the bill drown up in full he could not Mate its details. It would shortly be submitted to parlia ment for consideration. As fur as he had considered the report, which woe very voluminous, undoubtedly the notice in question Mil. intended to apply to that report, and the object of the bill was to carry out the recommendation of the whole of the first report. The report, however, did not go to the jureidivtion of the court, bat roserred to the tom minion the power of making • further report on that sub ject. A bill would be laid on the table of the otLer house to-marrow (this day), which he had caused to he reference prepared, with to the Court of Chancery. He bad found that the labours of the C 0011016400 embraced so wide a field that if he waited for their entire report it might be late in the cession before he could introduce the bill, which did not interfere with any of the recommendations of the COM- Lord BROUGHAM was glad to bear that a bill would be presented to-morrow night. The main object was to give jurisdiction as the report gave it, and to pave the way for the atiolitiou of the Master's office. HER MAJESTY'S REPLY TO THE ADDRESS. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER. who wore an official uniform, said --In obedience to your lordships command, I waited on her the Queen with your lordships loyal and dutiful adders., in reply to her Majesty s gracious speech, which was mont gracioudy received by her Majesty, and to which she in pleased to return the following mint gracious answer My torils,—l thank your lordships fur your loyal and dutiful address.

Last year, it would be recollected he (Mr. Hume) called for the production of papers connected with the gorernment of the lonian Wands, but, in conic ' queues of the lateness of the sissies, be had not pressed for them, salivating himself with giving notice of his inten tion to resew the motion in the pretest session. He wished now to know whether the hosoarable patleinas would mama to produce the papers, sad to save kits (Mr. Hume) the necessity of stating the grounds of his motion. Mr. F. mist. tumid to the bersonible member nod an swered the question, but in so low a tone that not a word of what be said was beard in the gallery. TELBORAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND. _ Sir 0. GREY, in reply to a question from Mr. D. Ilerbert, said he had received several proposals from rival companies to lay down the electric telegraph between Eng land and Ireland, and desiring to know the terms the go vernment would require, but he had delayed giving any de. eisive answer, being desirous, in the first place, of making inquiries as to the parties tendering.

With swab individuals Milk a system may be oongsuisd, to the indur ated menhir& man, who,- satisfied with the money be kin SINN by the sweat of his brow,—desires to thin Sleedage in peace and quietness, the militia is la inn Inviting. It is true that during its last tin man obtained substitutes, and c l u b s wen for that purpose, but to keep theta gap sib*, seir ions had to be paid. Besides emnalshing on the mnin's time, it often upsets the whelp st his soda life, for no one can attend to two train M once; he must either become a careless mechanic or a careless soldier—often both. But is a militia economical ? From 180:1 to 1806, the volunteer system, as it was called, cost the country five millions of money, and about as much more had been subscribed by private individuals. It is to be hoped that on the passing of the army esti mates, this question will be looked into with all the attention and calmness which it deserves. There is no longer any necessity . for the counties bordering the sea coast to be filled with armed men ' for twenty four hours would now bo sufficient, by the aid et railways, to bring forces front all parts of the Mar dom to any desired point. If we are to have volunteer corps let them be real volunteers. And in every country there are numbers of prig men willing . to belong to such a body; when such a force is really required for truly national pur poses. The militia, during the last war, was not raised as a national force for defence, bat as a large recruiting depot for tho regular army. The miUtia men were supposed to have rubbed off part of their original roughness, and to be more easily trained afterwards, and indeed it has been so clearly proved that new levies will not withstand regular soldiers in the open field, that it would be merely keeping up a delusion to attempt to re-establish the militia. A French men may be amused with mounting sentry and going enough marching drill, but our artisans have NOW thing more solid to think of—families to provide he and homes to keep up. We want,—as we have old again and again,—Army Reform, and no milithhiad no unnecessary regulars. Let the ministers king home our ships of war before we are asked be New either in purse or in person for more " soldiarier." THE mover of the Address in answer to her MA JESTY'S speech thought fit, in very bad taste. to mako en attack upon Kossurg, and bring charges against all those who welcomed or sympa thized with the Hungarian exile. We wore the more surprised at this from recollecting that in no part of the empire was the enthusiasm for KOSSUTH greater or more generous than in North Wales, for a district of which the hon. gentleman is member. The courteous mover of the whig Address made all those who welcomed Kossovii in this coun try answerable for all Kossurit's ideas, as participating in his views, and ready to Join in his crusades. For our part, though ever feeling and expressing great sympathy for Kos etall, there were many subjects on which we were far from subscribing to his opinions. Kos serifs firm belief was, that IIIS2 would produce a general break up in Europe, the impatience of the oppruesd picople rising in Insurrection. In the general tumult, Ilungarv, he imagined, could not remain tranquil. And he thus hoped speedily to renew the war of resistance, fir which he was ready to accept any aid—American, English, or French. We have pointed out what was over sanguine and so un likely to be realised in the hopes of KOsSUTII. But this did not abate our admiration of the man's varied talents and untiring patriotism. We have all along looked upon the project of Kossurn's raising a fresh insurrection in Hungary as visionary; but when the obedience of the races of the south-east of Europe shall again crack against the incumbent weight of despotism, then we should be glad to see the Hun garian exiles, with KOSSUTH at their head, prepared and in a condition to take advantage of it. In all liberal parties, above all in the great liberal party of a country which has been driven to open resistance for its liberties, them are two sections, one the aristocratic and the Modsrado, the other demo cratic and Esaleado. When despotism, military or other, is restored in a country; both these are driven into exile. And the aim of these who hate both is to set them quarrelling and maligning each other. If exiles knew their own interests, and consulted their own dignity, they would respect each other. And one of the great merits of KOSSUTH was, that he never uttered a word reflecting upon other Hun garian liberals. We wish sincerely that Count CASHITH BATHYA.•II could have imitated in this Kossurn's magnanimity, and had not forced forth recrimination, which merely comes in aid of PASKEWITCH'S conquest and Senw.simemteao's despotism. Count bATILYANI, is one of these letters, complains of this joar nal for making him "support KOSSUTH." Now, at the time of KOSSUTH% first coming, the attacks were directed not against the ex-governor's . politics, but against his private character. His enemies were not contented, as they are now, with decrying him u a weak politician, but as a rogue and a dishonest man. In that dispute we stated that we .could in voke the testimony of Count CASIMIR BATHYA24I on behalf of KOSSUTH% integrity. The identity of the two men in politic' we never dreamed of asserting. Count CASIMIR BATHYANI is of the aristocratic and moderate school,—far as he was obliged to go with the democratic. In our judg ment of past, and prospect of future struggles, we do not wish to proscribe or condemn either one or the other. History tells us, that to make a determined and effectual resistance to despotism, and to conquer liberties unjustly and unwisely withheld, there are none but the people and the democratic party to carry on such a struggle with any hopes of suc cess. But history also tells us that unless the demo cratic party will allow their more moderate brethren fair influence and voice in the settlement of govern ment after revolution, organisation and order, and derivable institutions, become impossible. Hea rty, therefore, can scarcely be free withort possess ing KOSSUTUS, or orderly and prosperous with out BATHYANIS. We should think it impious to fan the quarrel between such men. That task wo must leave to the agents of military and Aulic despotism. With Sir RICHARD BULKELI•Y% very good pardon, much as we admire KOSSUTH. we do not insist, with him, that Hungary can never exist but as a republic. Wo do not believe, much less desire, a complete triumph of ultra democracy in the cast of Europe, in the midst of races only just emerged from serfdom. lint we must admit tiro the physical, the mili tary resistance to Austria, whether undertaken by Hungary in 11410, or in any given Tear to come, must , be undertaketi by awl , met; as kossttiit and the Honveds, that is, the peasantry; and n o t by th e BATII TANIS and ESTERHAZYS. The aristocracy of Hungary had lost all hold over the peasantry. That was the work not of h ossu ill, but of circumstances too tedious here to ennmerate. If Kossurn, there fore, did not lead the war, there could have been no resistance; and there would have been• neither a patriot BATIIYANI nor a traitor GOROF.Y. RoNsUTH has been accused ot varying his arguments according to the chews and nations he addressed. It is a charge that can be ;mule against every orator. But 'Cosmic', hiss not bliitted his ground so often as his foes. First, they attacked his private charne -1 ter, and failed. Then they accused him of playing the dictator, and of carrying everything before him *b violence. Lastly COONS Count BATUTANI. who 41 accused this same KOSSUTH of el , skies and determined enough. He crag not. traing to the count, to have appointed ffisso . Bat who, alu! cis make bald to *urn the traitor in embryo, qe •be blamed for sot having then pesstrated the depth et husun character? M. lowa's is Wanted for, not having confronted 0010EY at * head oi bis army, and cashiered him in the Acs of those officers whom GORORY, it is well known;•had gained. Count BATIITANI, in blind and mistaken anger against Knaves, demands in fact impossibili ties ; and in doing al he casts dirt and diagram on the great character, the great heroism, the groat virtue of that glorious struggle in which the Count CASI MIR BATRYANI might with more honour have claimed a part. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. The event of the day is the reception of M. de Montalembert at the Academy. You are already aware that theservilityof the new academician's adhe sion to the policy of the 2nd of lkoember, and his misrepresentation of the sentimeuts of the legitimists, drew on him the rebuke of MM. Berryer and Fal ' loux, and the contempt of his former friends. The spoliatory decrees of the 22nd of January gave this celebrated leader of the church party an opportunity of breaking with the government of Louis Napoleon, of protesting against the nullity of the part assigned to the consultative commission, which was con suited about nothing, and of tearing his name from the degrading position which it occu pied in the ranks of official sycophancy. f bus M. de Montalembert, clothing himself in the dust and ashes of penitence, succeeded in mitigating, by his timely expiation, the indignation of his col leagues in polities and literature, and in making his reception at the academy possible, without drawing down the withering effects of their contempt. The predecessor of M. Montalembert, in the chair which the latter now occupies in the Academy, was M. Droz, a native of Franche-Comte, the province from which Montalembert himself comes. You are aware that the speech of the initiated member is the Elope of his prede cessor, into which he weaves his own opinions on some cognate theme uppermost in public attention. The beginning of M. de Montalembert's speech gave an outline of the biography of M. Droz, who was born at Besancon in 1773, and composed, in the course of • long life,several works of literature and philosophr, the chief of which is the " History of Louis XVI:" This subject gave Montalembert the opportunity of developing his ideas about the birth and progress of revolutions. He said that those who blessed the re volution, as well as those who condemned it, derived it equally from the war made by absolute royalty and modern philosophy against ancient society, such as it was constituted by the u•rion of the priesthood and the empire. This was the kernel of M. de Mon talembert's discourse, and from thence he deduced a long pleading against the revolution, and showed how it necessarily merged in despotism. When touching on the old constituent, M. de Montalembert alluded to the fatal example set by the confiscation of property. This passage of course struck a vibrat ing chord through the whole assembly. Droz had been a soldier, and had served in tl e army of the Rhine. His opinions were in favour of constitu tional monarchy. M. Guizot delivered a long and eloquent reply to M. de Montalembert. The Monde's,. of this morning announces that the President has received letters of notification, touch ing the new powers conferred upon him, from the Grand Duke of Ilene; also from the Swiss Confede ration, recalling Count Reinhard, and accrediting Count Salignac Fetaelon in his place. A decree is published, providing that when there is need to nominate one or more members of the Council a State, whether to form part of a com mittee or commission, or to take part in the execution of a law, this nomination will be made directly by a decree of the President. Any law contrary to this is abrogated. The Muniteur contains an official communication, stating that the reports pretending that the govern ment intends to establish a tax upon income or rents, and to confiscate insurance offices, are entirely un founded. The Duke de Broglie has, I am informed, re ceived an order from the Minister of Police to close his salon. The duke has written a letter in reply to the government, stating that ho was always in the habit of receiving his friends at this season of the year, and that he was not aware of any law in France which prevented him from doing sn. Therefore, he should still continue to admit the usual frequenters of his society. As to the conversation held at his house, he knew of no law which forbade Frenchmen, in their private domestic circles, to exchange their sentiments freely on all topics, nor should he attempt to suppress any such free expression in his salon. If the government chose to abut up his salon, they might do so, but they would be obliged to em ploy force for the purpose. Unless they sent the armed force and placed sentinels at his door his friends would still find admittance, and ho should always receive them. This letter of so distinguished a personage makes a great sensation. There is established in the department of the cen sorship of the press a particular bureau for the ex amination of the English papers, and expert lawyers are employed to read the London journals, with the object of discovering calumnious news, upon which a trial for libel may be instituted before the British courts of law. The same may be said of the Belgian, Piedmontese, Swiss, and Portuguese papers. But the difference between the treatment of the latter and the English papers is, that in the Belgian and others the leading articles will furnish subjects of representation to the respective governments, and procure, if they attack Louis Napoleon, the sal press men of the paper. '1 here is a paragraph in the Mats announcing that a portion of the estate of Neuilly, forming part of the private domain of Louis Philippe, is placarded for sale on the 14th of February. I believe this an nouncement originates in a mistake. An estate called Neuilly-sur-Size, near Chaumont, in the Haute Marne, is advertised for sale 9U the day mentioned, but this forms no part of the property of the house of Orleans. It appears that Dr. Veron has made serious cow ttints that he, the most serviceable partisan of the .lysee. is the only unrewarded one, and remains, like Gideon's fierce, dry, while the dew of favours descends on all the rest. The President is said to have answered to these reclamations that Dr. Veron could not stand in need of money, as he was u sumptuous in his habits as if he were another Lu cullus, and as for honorary reward, how was it pos sible to pla& in any high dignity a personage who could gain admission to no first-rate club at Paris. With these reasons and with promises to attend to the interests of the other rerbeteurs of the Canada tiannel the doctor is said to have been obliged to rest contented. The sentence of death pronounced against Mallet, b. the court-martial at Clamecy, has been com muted by the President of the Republic to transpor tation for life, owing to the active intercession of the curt. of Bonny. Nothing is yet known with regard to thefate of filletot and Protet, now under sentence of death at Clamecy. A fourth prisoner, named Jouanin, was condemned to death by the same court martial on Tuesday. and another, named Gallons, to hard labour for life. A letter from Bourges of Feb. 1 says, that a great many arrests have just been made in the neighbour hootid, including a landed proprietor, a former assist ant of a mayor, and a registrar of a jaye de pair. The new paper, the Dessiocraid;Napti conienne, only ten numbers old, is about to change its name to that of La France NupdArnienne. It is time, for this journal is a mere Bonapartist court circular. To-day, for instancy, it announces that the em broidery of the senators' coats will exceed in richness anything that has ever yet been seen. It is not, however, yet decided whether the , übstmtum of the garment will be cloth or velvet. The same autho nty informs us that Marshal Jerome Bonaparte is about to gladden the inhabitants of Corsica with his presence. It may he inferred front this that the duties of president of the Senate will not be very onerous. Another piece of intelligence is, that a partnership has been formed and duly registered be tween M. Emile Thomas, NI UllllOl . . M. Savalettc, ge neral agent, and a third person, for the purpose of propagating during the next three, six, or nine years bush of " His Imperial Highness the Prince Preai dent "laic.) Mak eft dis mitiffikers were sent for to the Hi p& yesterdir" There was no council. The President transacted badness with each of them separately. The President will give a grand soirée at the Elysee this evening. Foreign ambassadors, minis , tees, chargle-cl'affaues, and very large number of functionaries and military officers are invited. The grand review, so frequently put off on account of the weather, is now spoken of for the 12th inst. Denial St. Arnaud gives a ball on the 11th, and ..has announced, through the newspapers, that his list of guests is so full that ho cannot issue any more invitations. There is to be another ball at the Tuileries very soon. The upholsterers are busily at work in furnishing all the apartments iu tho Tuile ries, large and small. Those of the new Governor- General Vaudry have been sumptuously fitted up. M. Casabianca has a princely dwelling in the apart- 1 manta occupied by the King and Queen of the Bel gians when they were in Paris. The uneasiness lately prevalent at the Bourse from the fear of impending financial measures, has diminished within the last day or two, owing to an ticipatory rumours of the official contradiction pub lished in this morning's Moniteur. It wee hoped that a considerable rise would have taken place to-day. This hope has not been realised. It has been re marked that, although that contradiction is neces sarily entitled to be received with respect, many of the plans of the present government have never been so near their fulfilment as when they were moat strenously disavowed. The return of Count Guitant from Madrid has re vived the rumour of a marriage being on the lapis between the President and a daughter of Queen Christina. It is certain that, notwithstanding the emerity exercised towards the Madrid journals, they repeat this rumour, and have received no official contradiction. M. Macdonald, Duke of Tarento, comes forward as a candidate in the Loiret, for the districts of (lien and Montargis. Yesterday M. Delangle was installed as proeureur general Of the Court of Causation. In his speech to the court he said that the duty of all good men, and ' of magistrates especially, was to second Louis Napo leon in his efforts to re-establish " authority, order, and discipline." Senator Portalis, the chief judge of the court, expressed his approbation of the choice of M. ',dangle u procureur-general, and applauded the 'sentiments to which he had given utterance. The' Court of Cassation, he said, faithful to its precedents and its duties, was ready to second Prince Louis hapoleon by concurriug in the maintenance of public order and of thu principle of authority. It might have been nought that the first duty of a judge was the indifferent adrninis ra•ion of justice. Order, authority, and discipline have rather a military signi fication. This studious omission, by the highest functionaries of the highest court in the country, of any refer ace to the special attribute of a judicial tribunal, augurs ill for the SUCCeIIII of the legal pro ceedings on the part of the Orleans family. The Bourse was dull to-day. The Five, per Cents. closed without change from yesterday at 103.25. The Three per Cents. fell 15c. and closed at 65.10. Bank of France shares rose sf. Railways were again better: Orleans rose 12.50; Havre and Boulogne, 5 each; Bordeaux, 3.75; Lyons and Testo and Bor deaux, 2.50 each. SPAIN. A second telegraphic despatch, dated Madrid, Feb. 2, 4 says : " The Queen's wound presents no appearance of iprity. Queen Isabella is full o f , energy and tranquil. The 2nd of February was the day on which the Queen was to proceed to the church of Atocha to return thanks for her safe delivery. The Pays, in referring to this attempt, states that a man bred a pistol at her Majesty, nearly at arm's length from her person, and wounded her in the shoulder. lie was on the - instant arrested, and held in safe custody. Nothing more was known. ITALY. NAPLES, Jsx. 29. Our correspondent states that the change of ministry has been succeeded by the pardon of fifty prisoners accused of high treason. Twenty-three have been at once set at liberty. More liberations are to follow. But the leading men will be exiled. The ex-minister, Pocrio, is not expected to live. lie is ir. a rapid consumption. His mother's suffer ings on his account have left her an utter idiot. Her Majesty's steamer Scourge has arrived in the bay, and leaves immediately fur Malta. Neapolitan Five per Cents., 103. Sicilian Five per Cents., 901. Exchange on London, 578. GERMANY. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JAR. 29. The Austrian minister in Paris has been instructed to make a friendly protest against the sale of the Orleans estates. 5 1he French ministers at all the foreign courts are to be changed. France has assured Austria that she will no longer give asylum to politi cal refugees. The deliberations of the customs congress are not expected to last much longer, and the members will probably separate without having effected anything. fhe representatives of Frankfort and of Brunswick have at length, however, received their instructions. At Braid', in the circle Canary, a bloody conflict has just taken place. Some soldiers and gendarmes desired to assure themselves by a strict search that one Klee., a man obnoxious in some way to the au thoritie., was not concealed in a certain private house. The inhabitants, however, determined to resist the intrusion, and a struggle ensued. Meantime a Greek priest, who happened to be there, appeared at ono of the windows and assuring the soldiers that their suspicions were erroneous, entreated them to go away. This advice being neglected, the tenants of the house fired upon the party, and one of the gendarmes, a corporal, and a private soldier were shot down. The fire being returned, a regular mimic engagement seems to have ensued, and the military end gendarmes were obliged to retire. Being, however, speedily reinforced by a company of the Hess infantry, they returned and appear to have arrested all the neighbourhood. Some political prisoners in Arad, having been dis covered to be carrying on a secret correspondence with some, revolutionary parties in Brescia, have been henceforth forbidden the use of writing ma terials. Austrian securities continue without any improve ment, and the accession of M. Brentano to the govern ment does not seem to have been followed by any favourable result. M. Bruck is believed to have re fused the portfolio of finance, from the impossibility of filling that post with credit, and, at the same time, carrying out the wishes of government. BAXE r COBUItO GOTIIA. The Duke of Saxe Coburg has received those members of the chamber who supported the rejected constitutional project in the Chamber. and expressed his regret that the opposition had not better appre ciated the difficult position in which his goveniment was placed towards the Germanic Diet. lie declared, however, that he had no intention of octroying a new constitution, but would appeal to the country. The elections would take place without delay and upon the basis of the existing electoral law. DEN MARK. The ministerial changes at Copenhagen hare been received by the First Chamber by demonstrations which presage a lively opposition to the new cabinet. On the day of the publication of the royal decree the members of the Landsthing repaired in a body to Count Adam Moltke, praying Inns not to abandon his seat in the chamber. On the next day as ho went to the chamber, the Assembly row upon his entrance, and received him standing. Similar demonstrations t•vrk plaeo in honour of M. fillisch. In the sitting of both chambers, on the 29th, and 30th of January notices were given of intended' questions demanding the most complete explanations , upon the solution of the ministerial crisis. Most of the jonrnu a announce that they will wait with patience the issue of those interpellationa; the Daq/dadet alone demands the impeachment of the ministers who eounter-signed the royal pnx•lamation of January 28. A letter from Kiel, in the (Wayne Gazette, awes that a government of three persons will be established in each of the duchies, and will act under tho special ministe rs for Holstein resident at Copenhagen. Baron Charles Plessen is to be the chief of the government of Bd. stein, and M. Thomas Prehn of that of Nchleserf e . The amnesty will be extended in this duchy, bet restricted in Holstein, where new expulsions will be made, among them that of Coun c ill or B remer, a member of the provisional government, is indicated. THE MEDITERANNEAN. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Sultan, Captain George Brook; arrived at Southampton last night, with dates from Constantinople, January 17; Smyrna, 20; Malta, 26; Gibraltar, 31. A mong h er passengers is Vice- Admiral Sir L. Curtis. The business of the French Consulate for the empire of Morocco continued to be transacted at Algesirea, where it had the services of the French war steamer Narwal at its disposal fur conveying the correspondence with the authorities threugii the - Sardinian Consul-General at Tangier. - _ lONIAN ISLANDS. The Milan G'lnette quotes a letter from Corfu, at the 12th ult., stating that the Italian languag e had been superseded in the islands as the official lan_ guage by the modern Urea, since New-year's hay. THE GOLD DIGGINGS OF AUSTRALIA. By the ship Phoenician, which has arrived from Sydney in 84 days (the quickest passage ever made) we have six weeks' later dates from New South Wales, giving accounts of further discoveries of gold in various pouts of the colony. These discoveries are ' at the Braidwtxxl, about '2OO miles south from Sydney, and from private letters it appears that those dig. gings are likely to surpass all that have yet btsin tried in any part of Purt Philip or New South Wales, The amount of gold received in Sydney is now about 17,0001. per week. The total value of gold Mapped from Sydney amounted to 216,946/. 6s. 3d.; the price was 53m. per ounce. Bills on London drawn against geld 6 per cent. discount. "A large number of diggers have left per Shamrock steamer with the intention of binding at Woolf* (about two hundred miles south of Sydney), and pro. ceeding from thence to the At-alum and Braidwood diggings. Forty licenses have been taken for a waterhole whitth has been partly drained, and the proprietors anticipate golden results when they reach the bottom. "The price remained firm at :its. ts 614. 6d. up to Thursday, when it suddenly rose to ,at which large quantities were purchased by a mercantile house desirous of remitting 10,0001. by a vessel which sails ox Tuesday next, and, consequently, before another escort can come in; it was neetewary therefore to make a push to accomplish that object, and miners and dealers must not be disappointed to find the price full as suddenly us it rose immediately after that vessel's departure, as nothing but the fact of 10,0001. being in the market could have raised th e price from 635. lid., with exchange at 5 per tint., to 6.55. with exchange at 6 per cent. 'foe tendur for government gold was accepted at a fraction over 6.51, Total gold shipped to this date, 21KAIII/. " Exchange on London—Drafts against gold, 6 per cent. dia. ; freight, k per cent." Australian papers contain the following patine. lars relative to mining operaticus: TVRON, NEALE'S Peeve, Nov. 5. -During Saturday and Sunday last we had vice cold, wet. tempestuous weather, which rendered a residence in a trail tent on the Tuna ridges anything but pleasant; it has, however, now quite cleared up, and there is every kopearance of dry weather having finally set in. On Saturday several tints were blown down on various points on the river, sad others were split or otherwise injured. Ihe Lord Bebop of Sydney is up here at present, unit is stopping at the Commissioneee quarters at Maitland Point. lie performed anew' senice there on Sunday, and arrangements arc twine made for its regular performance here. There is nothing new to communicate respecting the diggings, further than that the rise in the river, although now ARIOOIiO4, ONl tintic seriously to impede the ;deign** of pirsens digging in the beds. In fact, loony have been driven away entirely by the flood, and I should suspect that it will °cement considerable Ices to the government, as many who have been obliged to vacate them w ill leave without paying the license fee for this mouth. I think I may safely venture to say that et least 600 !Acmes have been driven away within a mee and a halt of this point, the majority of whom hate no dry . diggings to fly to. The Nem nt oirtent of licensing the diggers is beginning to cause sonic disestiefection here, mere particularly sitter the commissioners have issued an order requiring all diggers to attend at Maitland Point to procure their licenses, instead of their following up the old plan of 'costing roucd themselves to collict them. A reline meet ing will be held at Sofala on Saturd a y next, w h en it isintended that the %Oleic system shall be taken into consideration. On Tuesday I attended at Maitland Point to obtain my license, and had the satisfaction of having to wait two hours before 1 could get it, the crowd of apph cants being very conriderable. Tbe sergeant and troopers on duty there acted very fairly, c- using those who had waited longest to go in first, withnut respect to their tion in life ; and, although the sun was broiling het, and my toes were trod on by the sergeant in his attempt to keep the crowd off the ropes of the tent, elite as I saw that they strove to distribute in their little way equal justice to all, I did not feel much inclined to find fault. One man who went in, seeing 30e. on the table. which had been paid by the previous applicant, taking advantage of the commissioner's eyes being turned from him, took it up, and put it down again in payment of his own lims., but, al though the movement escaped the notice of the commis sioners, the trooper outside espied his motion, and the renew was obliged to refund. PROSPECTING NEAR GOULBURN.—Since our last pro specting in the neighbourhood has been carried on with mo derate vigour. Captain Royal, who deserves the utmost praise for the enthusiasm he has displayed in the search for native gold in the vicinity of the town, sueteetnel last week in procuring ten specimens, including one which from Ite solidity and size might with propriety be termed a "nug get." These were found at the Run of Water, near Bois chere—the place at which some email nuggets were washed out by Moan. Dibdin, Halyard, and Jackson. The Gaul bourn correspondent of the Sydney Herald was labouring under a mistake when he stated that not a speck was found by those who prospected on the creek as Monday sennight On that occaeiou, Mr. Stewart, the wheelwright, and the writer of this paragraph, found several. Ile was also in error when he asaerted that 40, 20, and 14 beckern of earth were washed; no such quantities were .—the major part of those present feeling more incliued to indulge in senseless jollies than in the prosecution of a la u d a bl e search. At the Mulwarre Ponds Mr. llibdices party have been prospecting on several mornings during the week, and in every cradle washed out gold has been towel. On some occasions as many as 13 heavy specks have been produced from a cradle of earth. As yet only the surface soil has been tried, but it is the intention of the publienpiritod gentlemen to excavate to some depth during the next week, and wo entertain, in spite of the correspondent of the Sydney Herald, great expectation that heavy metal will be discovered. A person named Simunerhill, who, with Mr. Wood, of Tourang, discovered geld tit the back of the Go vernor's hill a few weeks since, brought in about a quarter of an ounee! of the metal last week. It was procured by washing in a tin dish. The exact locality is at present a secret, but doubtless it will not he no long. MAJOR'S either Nov. 4.—The adorer are still doing first-rate ; many of them as much as 2oz. and lox. per day a man. A party from Broulee, consisting of five, got ISin. a day. I saw a little boy get lox. ldwt. 6grs. in a tin dish, from a place no larger than a post hole. The party who arninged to drain the water hole have gibbed at the work, it is therefore given over for the preeent. Some of the knowing ones think there is Plenty of gold there yet. New diggings have been fourd in a pulley adjacent to this place. Some are doing first-rate to-day. I may wifely say that nearly all the gullies and creeks about here have plenty of gold in them. Richardson washed a mall quantity of soil in hie wale in a new place known only to a few, and got 13 speck. of gold in the first washing. The soil was taken from the aide of the honk with hie hands. lam certain that there is plenty of gold at the same place. Sly grog selling has arrived at an awful pitch, nearly half the diggers were more or lees intoxicated yes , terdisy. The authorities arc beginning to stir themselves. Last night they caught one man in the set of selling: he was seized with four gallons of rise in his possession, and was handcuffed to the policedent to-day, ready to he re moved to Braidwuod. I hope this will have the effect of checking other partici. feint similar practices. The number of digger. is daily increasing. The following in from a private letter dated SYd. ney, November 8: Scarce had you departed before news reached that geld had beer. found in large quantified in Victoria, at Bonier yong, 10 miles west of Melbourne, and about equidistant from Geelong. Time has only served to show that the gold it to he found in even greater quantity than was nt first an ticipated; and so great Nu been the excit-ment in Mel bourne an. livelong, that these places became for a time aiming depopulated. It was only last ni.tlit that 1 heard Mr. 0. fleas Thomson, the colonial .eeret:oy, state in his place in the legislat re couninil that the gold field of Victoria was fully at rich a. that of the Tut'on. Up to the time at which I now write the town, nod the various other diggings near it, have yielded gold hi the value of somewhat over 200,000 I.—say, 220,000!. The weekly arrival by escort and mail is 5000 ~,,, of dust and nuggets. and the number of le:vie employed is esti mated to tat fully 11,000 The Ilininiiivong, or, to write more correctly, the Rae larat gold field yields about 1,100 to _,OOl 0111100 weekly, and there are trout 5,000 to 7,000 persons emploved at it. In Sydney. yesterday, gold sold at al. to On. 61 per oa. In MelLourne and livelong, by hut advices, it sold ■_ a a 1 1 1 li 91 ti ii
