NIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIMS. Tax Day—Yorutag. fA. 110...—....A1tenima, Sh.;7m. TO•001611111-Ronal. D‘ria......—Allsom, 70. LONDON, TUESDAY. SEPT. 14. O'ex of our great national fetes commences to-day. The Doncaster race-course is the centre of attraction for as many thousands as ever met at Olympia or Elis. The whole northern population of the country will make holiday for a week. The noble and the rich in that portion of the island will keep open house, and imi ate the hospitality of their mediicval ancestors. Those who dispense hospitality to the wayfarer (or a " consideration " are looking to the results of their labours during tke week with as much hope as the Australian emigrant to his en trance upon the land of nuggets. Multitudes of our countrymen who coop themselves up in counting-houses, or committee-rooms, or stu dies during the greater part of the year, will be breathing the frebh air of the race-course with all the delight of liberated schoul.boys. That impulse to seek amusement which SCHILLE.R in his "Aesthetic Education of Mankind" calls the highest impulses of his nature, but which is checked and kept down by the progress of modern civilisation and the exigencies of modern calls to labour, has vindicated its claims to be heard, and now runs riot with the most sober minded of calculating Englishmen. On the race-course to-day will be witnessed a scene which, were it not fur a few collateral considerations, we should wish to sec oftener. In the free open air will meet together representatives of all classes of society. Peers, private gentlemen, manufacturers, and shop keepers all jostle together on the same green COWS!. The course is vour true leveller. Such sympathies as still exist in the minds of the multitude, in spite of all that birth, and rank, and property, and educa tion, and fashion do to quench them, have here an opportunity to develop themselves. The national mind comes, as it were, to a knowledge of itself in these large sporting meetings, where the ordinary objects of contention are laid aside and forgotten for the moment. A race, in short, is our true national Pte. It is not like a file in France, where thousands are brought together at the tap of the drum to look at something wnivh the authorities have pre pared fur them—something which perishes at the very moment which gives it birth, which "dies and makes no sign "—something which the gazers have no concern with, which touches none of their interests, which leaves nothing behind it but burnt wadding, spotted pasteboard, and dirty calico. Our English fete is not like this. It is got up by the nation itself; the authorities have nothing to do with it. Numbers of the lookers on are connected directly or indirectly with the whole of the proceed ings. The effects are visible in tie perfection of the noblest animal in the world—the English horse. In short, attracting, as a good race does, much of the man liness, the beauty, and the heartiness of our country ; takineplace, as it does, in the open air; tending, as it does, to facilitate freedom of intercourse amongst all classes, we could be well content to have more of them, were it not for a few considerations, which, it must be allowed, counterbalance much of the good which they undoubtedly effect. It is sad that we can eo seldom predicate ex cellence without terminating with a discouraging "but." The races merit all that is said in their favour, but they produce some fatal effects as well as some very good ones. If any one should ever in his enthusiasm liken a race-coarse to the garden of Eden, half the world would only recognise any truth in the comparison, because on the " course, " as in the garden, the devil is seated hard by he fro of knowledge. A " knowing one," in Me l= of the turf, is one of the most a imitations of the father of "lies," in some of his attributes, that weak mortality is en abled to produce. Re tens tMyaradoe into • hell.

The event of the day is • telegraphic' despatch from England announcing that one of Tour contem poraries reports the conclusion of • frei , trade treaty bctw.en England and France ' by which the highest import duty will not exerred'l3 per cent. The postage of letters will also, it is said, be reduced. This news has been received with much incredulity. It is, however, a significant fact that the Petrie of to-day reproduces in a conspicuous part of its columns the statement of the Daily News that out of 309 out ward bound ships in the port of Liverpool not one wan destined for France, and adds that a similar fact was observable at New York. This looks as if the government were at last opening its eyes to the detrimental effects of protection. The preparations fur the President's journey are now complete; but some uncertainty moms still to prevail as to whether the Prince will positively start to-morrow, no announcement to that effect having appeared in the Muniteur of to-day. Twenty thousand medals, bearing the effigy of the Prince, and struck expressly to commemorate his visit to Bourses, will be distributed. Great excitement has existed at Dieppe for the last few days, owing to the systematic refusal of the girls of that town to dance with soldiers. The affair was thought so merlons that General Gudin came to Dieppe to institute an inquiry. In the meantime it has been intimated to the municipality that if these scenes recur, the government will bring the matter to a short end by . withdrawing the garrison, which would be a severe injury to the trade of the town. Madame Lafarge is spoken of in the Presse as fol lows: Vp to the last hour of her existence, Mate. Lafarge pro tested her innocence. There ars letters from her which are remarkable in the highest degree for depth of sentiment and ability of style. Tier death has plunged her uncle, 11. Collard, the director of the Lunatic Asylum of Montpellier, an eminently worthy man, into ea affliction difficult to de scribe. The eyes of Mine. Lafarge were closed by her cousin, Mollie. Collard, who for ten yean never quitted her is her captivity. The death of Mme. Lafarge was caused by a pul monary complaint. She was in her 37th year. Shortly before her death she expressed a wish to be buried at Tarasoon, by the side of Colonel Audoury, a friend of her father, and who until his death, about two months since, had shown her all the affection of a parent. Her wish bas been complied with. The Moniker announces that the section of the Bordeaux Railway, between Bordeaux and Angell -I#me, will be opened on September 20. At the Bourse the Four-and-a-Half per Cents. rose 40c., closing at 104.10; and the Threes fell 34c., closing at 77.25. PARIS, SUNDAY E,ININO.

Then, u now, he adhered to the Napoleonian principle of establishing a preference in favour of the peasant over the advocate or physician. _ _ _ A placard is posted up, in which the Prefect of the Seine convokes the electors of Paris for the 26th and 27th, to choose two deputies to the legislative body. The public is beginning to be painfully moved by the frequent execution of sentences of death for offences of a character to call for commutation ofi punishment, and to justify the exercise of the high pre rogative of clemency with which the head of the state has invested himself. A signal instance of sanguinary severity has just occurred at Brest. A sailor boy, of nineteen, Le Marchadour, was executed on the 6th, for having lifted his sabre against his commanding officer, Captain Discreet Villeneuve, second com mander of the Forte frigate. The application to the President of the Republic, for a commutation of his sentence, made by the prisoner's counsel, was unan swered, it is said, because no penitence had been exhibited for the crime. The sentence was executed in the Corr de la Cayenne, in presence of the crew, and detachments of the ships in port, and other marine corps. The prisoner walked with firmness in the midst of an escort of fifty men, to the place of execution, having received the succours of religion. He begged that his eyes might not be bound, and that he might be allowed to stand instead of kneel. ing. Having received the last exhortation of the price, he submitted with resignation to his fate, and fell pierced by several balls. The troops then filed off in silence before the body of their late messmate. This is a return to the Draconian code of a past day. Sentences of death pronounced in such cases have been invariably commuted; and the maintenance of discipline by such terrible examples in times of peace, and in the absence of any extraordinary cir cumstance calling for peculiar severity, is equally condemned by humanity and common sense. I now send the Paris petition for the empire, to which I made allusion on Friday. It is, I under stand, composed by M. Couture des Troismonts, of the society of the lath of December, and approved of by M. de Persigny. The petition is beautifully got up, in large type, upon fine paper, and stamped. I have reason to think that the OM before me has been issued prematurely. From a motive of delicacy easily appreciated, the petitioning msehinery of Paris will not be put in motion until the departure of the President. Then no ermine will be spared to obtain an overwhelming number sidgmatures before his re turn.

The assumption that every workman will naturally grow into a master after the establishment of the empire, is a master stroke, and will tell upon the minds of the large number of operatives who believe what Proudhon teaches, or affects to teach, that Louis Napoleon is after all the chief of socialism. The allusion to the hopes of the Imitimists is cleverly connected with the promise made in a famous speec h at the Tuileries, that no appeal would be made to the people for the establishment of the empire unless the covert intrigues (verde' mencfes) of old parties should make it necessary.

The pazigpaph esweendati the principle of evil is stievewbst stem% wet, however, perhaps more so Haw spew MO OWI3 subjeet Is fitting to put in the month eta haw a family in the Faeurg St. Antoine. The true meaning of the proposition I take to be that what no human life or generation of men can wise to do, may be accomplished by a Napoleonic dimity. That, and that alone, can extinguish the principle of eviL To this logic an irrcvcrend inquirer might say, but what if the Napoleonic dynasty should happen to be the evil principle itself? Such an inquiry will not, however, bo made here, at least openly, thanks to the laws which effictually repress all license of speech and writing. The doctrine that it is the duty of the party now in power to tie the hands of a future generation is diametrically opposed to the principle of universal suffrage. If that be really the divine principle that it has recently been represented to be, nothing can be more evident than that the members of a future generation will have as good a right to the benefit of it as their fathers had. To wards the end of the petition a misgiving peeps out that the argument in favourof the hereditary principle may have been perhaps carried too far, and therefore it is wisely averred that the principle itself is nought, nay even impossible to be revived in France except in the person of a Bonaparte. An English Loyola, the Rev. Father Ignatius, brother of Lord Spencer, is exhibiting the exuberant zeal of a convert by a preaching power worthy of a more hopeful cause. His mission is to solicit the prayers of France for the restoration of Great Britain to the bosom of the Roman catholic church. , To-day the reverend father preaches at four churches —at eight in the morning at the Church of tho Ba tignolles, where the Holy Sacrament is exposed for perpetual adoration ; at eleven at St. Hoch, during high mass; at seven in the evening at Notre Dame , des Victoires; and at eight in the Church of St. Sul pia. In all these capacious shrines the zealous father of the order of the Paisievists hopes to find a ' numerous brigade of the army of the faithful, whom he proposes to enrol in this 'made for the spiritual conquest of Great Britain. ITALY. LOMBARDY. Letters from Milan — state that the French ex- Queen Amfilie is about to fix her permanent resi dence at the Chateau de Zuilio, on the lake of Como, belonging to her son-in-law, the King of the Belgians. PIEDMONT. The Risorgonento of Turin states from Florence, sth inst., that the Tuscan government has prohibited the introduction of the Preue of Paris into Tuscany. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 9th states that a new instrument of "'laical agitation has been discovered in the National Bank of Turin, where French sfr. pieces, bearing the dates of 1831, 1831, and 1852, have been found among the cash, with the motto Dieu ',ware la France, on the edge, in stead of the usual on: Dieu protege /a Aviece. SPAIN: We read in the Espana, of Madrid, of the 7th : A dreadful mime has been committed in a town of Galicia. An individual has murdered nine persons of the same family. We have not received the details of this hor rible event, the news of which arrived yesterday. We only know that the murderer immolated his victims, one after the other, with the 'rudest sangfroid. There was no Boum on Sept. 8, it being the na tivity of the Virgin. GERMANY. ZOLLVEREIN. . . BERLIN, SIPTIMBIII 10. My prognostications on the turn of the Zollverein affair receive daily confirmation. All parties now begin to see that the decision of the question lies be tween Austria and Prussia, and that the coalition has become a mere puppet, the wires of which are jerked in Vienna. The Austrian government has, as the National Zeitung learns from an unquestionable source, notified to the coalition governments, " that the last Prussian declaration, which expungst from the draft of treaty A all essential points, and refuses every guarantee for the realisation of a general cus toms union, offers no firm basis, and cannot, in its present state, be regarded as acceptable." The official Austrian Correspondence only calls the Prussian declaration " inconclusive,' and endea vours to provoke discussion by criticising the Prm elan arguments. But the organ. of the coalition go vernments, having reoeived from Vienna the neces sary instructions on the subject, speak out more plaanly, and lead us to expect that the coalition's re jeinder, now in course of preparation in a congress of plenipotentiaries at Dresden, will unequivocally .re new the demand of guarantees for a customs union with Austria, and thus destroy all the delusions of those who flattered themselves that a compromise for the preservation of the Zollverein was about to be effected. The Afaisich Zeitung says, " the expectation that Prussia would make a cones pending return for the conciliating advances of the coalition governments, has not been fulfilled." The German Chronicle, the semi-official Wurtemberg organ, says : " Prussia sticks unequivocally to its fundamental conditions, and leaves the coalition go vernments no alternative but to accept the Prussia ultimatum, and leave the commercial union with Austria to loom in the future, or to let Prangs secede from the Zollverein." The Cassel Zoltan', which may be regarded as expressing with least reserve the wishes of the Vienna cabinet, says : "The Zollverein is an anomaly within the Germanic confiders tion ; it must be set aside, in order that Berlin may cane to form a centre he. the customs legislation and the commercial interviews of the majority of German states ; this centre must be removed to Frankfort, where the south German league in connexion with Austria will then do the rest." This is speakiug out plainly enough. The apprehension that Austria may be inclined to mike a bold push in this direction, gains ground here. The Vossesche Zeitung, in its leading article of this day, endeavours to prove that a resolution for subjecting tariff matters to the decision of the Diet, can become valid only by unanimous assent. But if Austria takes up the Zollverein contest, lees for the sake of the interests really at stake than with a view to asserting a predominant authority in the settlement of all German affairs, it will not be scrupulous in overruling objections founded on its present want of such authority; and if its arguments on points of federal law prove light, it can find, like Brennus of yore, a ready make-weight. Should Prank be placed in the same predicament in which it found itself in the autumn of 1860, it will not be able again to dis pel the clouds so easily as on that CIOCINIOIL At Olmiltz, the Prussian minister did concede all that the Austrian minister demanded ; but the Austrian minister demanded nothing more than the Premiss minister, at the bottom of his heart, was glad to see effected ; he only consented to return to a course of policy from which, but for the revolution, Prussia would never have swerved. Now, however, the case is totally different. What Aust ria aims at would have the effect of ousting Prussia from Wisest among the great powers, and leaving protestantism without a representative in the supreme council of continental potentates. If a crisis of this sort really occur, the blame will mainly lie with the present Hing's see-saw system, which shirks the consistent prosecution of a clear principle., and will not allow a compact ministry to be formed of men united in itheir policy • an administration, however, thus purposely debarred from acquiring. strength, naturally invites aggression from rival powers. But the country Is by no means so weak MI the government may appear to be ; and when the times render it necessary to repel usurpation, it may prove that any foreign power, speculating on making an easy capture of Prussia, will find that it has caught a Tartar. M. von Manteuffel finds his power of action very much paralysed by the court influence of the cavalier party, which opposes him rather from personal than fl•em political 'amity. The appointment conferred, in M. von Manteuffol's absence, on General you v 1 , ~.% Radowita was a severe blow to his authority. M. von Manteulfel tendered his resignation, which the King refused I but, as head of • divided cabinet, he cannot impose an energetic policy when colleagues, in clined to thwart him, see that he has not the power of preventing the man most obnoxious to him of all from being invested with an aloe of such importance as the direction of all military education, necessarily in volving constant immediate communication • ith, the King as head of the military. That this poet, more over, has been entrusted, at the present season of ca tholic aggression, to the man who declared that the interest of the church of Rome imposed on him higher duties than those national ties, is a portentous sign of onr times. - - - The report which I lately tt•entioned, that a plea would be raised foe binding Brunswick and the Saxon duchies to the Zollverein, in case of a breach with Prussia, is now formally disavowed. 'I he coali tion journals very justly remark, that Brunswick or any Saxon duchy might then put in its veto against the union with Austria for the next twelve years; because, by virtue of tho existing Zollverein treaty, no step can be taken without unanimous consent. Some uneasiness has been excited here by an article in the Hanoverian official paper, which is regarded as a symptom of Hanover's deserting the Prussian colours, which, of course, would render l'russia's position very awkward : Hanover (it says) is certainly bound by the September treaty ; but Prussia must not make the September treaty, in opposition to it. unquestionable purpose, the instrument of narrowing and dividing instead of widening and uniting the sphere of German intercourse, thereby resuming the plans of its recent anti federal so-called " union," which would amount to a breach of the treaty on its part. Prussia is legally bound by the September treaty to strive for an extension of unity, and must not be guided therein by re gard for its political power and its own interests alone, but equally by the interests of its allies. The greatest possible pliability, readiness for every feasible advance, in order to avoid a breach, are imperative conditions. Provocations of an opposite nature, on the part of Prussia, were and are so many provocations for Hanover to disavow the treaty. The editor of the Reform of Hamburg was tried by the municipal tribunal of that city on the Bth inst., on a charge of insult to the President of the French Republic by publishing a caricature entitled " The fishwomen are the supporters of the empire." The public prosecutor called for the condemnation of the defendant to a fine of 200 marks (about :130fr.), and the costs. The tribunal was to pronounce judg ment on tho 10th. PORTUGAL. Count do Thomar, in anticipation of the approach. ing elections, has addressed a manilcsto to his poli tical friends, in which he advises them to abstain from voting at the next elections. CANADA. QUEBEC, Auo. S.B. The Canadian parliament has now been in session for upwards of a week, but the debate on the address is not yet over. This is the first session of the fourth parliament since the union of the provinces, and the new members seem to be all desirous of making known their sentiments. The speech of the Governor-General from the throne sets forth that the country is in a state of prosperity; and that it has rapidly advanced in po pulation and wealth; and that provincial securities have risen in value. This is true, as you have seen from statistics that I have in previous letters furnished you. I may, however, state that it was attempted to be shown by gentlemen in favour of annexation that the progress of Canada had not been so rapid as that of the United States; but the attempt broke down, and well merited the charge which was I made against it of being unpatriotic. Some important reforms are promised, and promi nent among these are an increase of the represents-Hon and a mode for registering votes. A decimal system of currency is proposed, as well as the esta blishment of agricultural bureaux. Reform of the seignorial tenure is . promised. To all of these pro posed reforms no serious exception has been taken on the part of the opposition. With respect to the clergy reserves there is a good deal of irritation existing on the part of the re formers, in consequence of the decision of Sir J. S. Pakington against the repeal of the Imperial Clergy Reserve Act of 1840; while the conservatives, on the other hand, are of course very glad at Sir John's decision. The Imperial Act I have alluded to, takes away front the Canadian legislature the power to legislate upon the clergy reserves, and this power the reformers now - demand. The Cana dian ministry have expressed themselves strongly upon this point, and some of them have even gone to the length of declaring that they would insist upon the right to legislate upon the reserves, even although that should bnng them into collision with England. The following passage occurs in the resolutions in answer to the address ; it is nut yet voted by the house, though it will be, by a large majority : That while this Douse deeply regrets to learn that her Majesty'a znioisten have refrained from introducing a mea sure into the imperial parliament daring its last session, for the repeal of the imperial statute on the subject of the clergy I will give you further details upon the reforms I have above alluded to, u they come up. There were several matters of great local party interest brought out during the lad week's debate, but I suppose it will not be needful that I narrate them to you. Quebec is, at present, very much crowded with visitors from different parts of the states, who have come to breathe the fresh northern air and admire the magnificent scenery that everywhere surrounds this city.

The general plan of the building is a Greek or equal cross, with a dome over the centre, or intermit's. If this idea be skilfully carried out, there can be no doubt that bth the interior effect and exterior view of the building will be very beautiful. The idea is not a new one by any means. It is the original design of St. Peter's at Rome, of which I the sketch is still preserved In the Vatican Library, and the Creak cross is also the principal feature is the exquisite church ed Santa Maria digit Angeli, built by Michel An gelo, en the foundation of the baths of Diociesian. The present plan is, however, very ingeniously modified by filling up the angles with a structure iu height inferior to the main building, so that the ground plan presents an octagonal hem. Bash diameter of the cross, from side to side, is 386 feet long and 149 feet broad, and the dome is 130 feet high. The building will be entirely of iron and glass, and is to cost about 200,000 dollars. The mason's contract is now being given out, and it is expected that the work will be actually b eg un certainly by the first of September. There is now considerably more time to the first of May, 1853, when it is to be open, than was had (or the emotion of the London Exhibition building, much =else, and there seems no pod mason to doubt earn and skill of our people veal easily surmount whatever ties there may be is the way.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OP A SOLDIER.—On Wed nesday • private soldier of the 62nd Regt. was stabbed by a boatman from the county of Clare under the following cir cumstances. The boatman, with two companions, had been drinking in a public-house kept by a Mr. Murphy, in the I Main-street, where some observations in reference to the Bix-mile bridge riot raised a dispute between the parties the soldier unfortunately entering et the tints was assailed by the boatman, who, without provocation, and declaring that ho hated the sluht of • soldier, stabbed the unfortunate man in the breast with • knife. Fortunately the blade struck the ribs of the man, and although he lies in a dan gerous state in the military infirmary, hopes are enter tained of his recovery.

(From the Sydney Government Gazette, April 2.) Colonial Secretary's Odic', Sydney, March 29, 18.52. Hie Excellency the Governor-General has ken pleased, with the advice of the Esrcutive Council, to direct that the following consolidatrd and amended code of cirri,. lations for the management of the gold fields be published for general information :- 1. ALLUVIAL UOLD. 1. cnow:v Licassr.s. 1. No person wilt be permitted to dig, search f or , or re . move gold on or from any land, public or private, without Ant taking out a license in the form annexed. All trod procured without due authority will be seized, as being the property of the crown, 111 whose posseasiim server it may be. 2. The license fee for crown lands has been fined at one pound ten shillings per month, to be paid ielleilvanee. These licensee only extend to the extraction of alluvial gold, matrix gold being the subject of other regulations, which will be found in a subsequent part of the present code. 3. Licenses Con be obtained on the gold field front the eommisaioner or assistant commissioner, uppointed by his Excellency the Governor•Gen , ral to carry the regulations into effect, and who so authurised to receive the fee payable thereon. 4. No person will be eligible to obtain a license, or the renewal of a license, unless he shall produce a certificate of discharge (ruin his last service, or show to the satisfaction of the commissioner, or ••i.tant commissioner, that he is not a person improperly absent from hired service. 6. Persons desirous of establishing claims to new and un occupied ground, by working in the ordinary method for alluvial gold, may have their claims marked out on the fol- lowing scale to each person, namely : 1. Fifteen feet frontage to either side of a river or unlit creek. 2. Twenty feet of the bed of a tributary to a river or main creek, extending across its whole breadth. 3. Sixty feet of the bed of a ravine or water course. 4. Twenty feet square of table laud or river fiats. 6. These claims will be secured to the parties for rich time only as they may continue to hold licenses for the nine, notes* in cases of flood, or othi r such unavoidable acrid. at u shall, in the opinion of the commissioner or assistant commissioner, render a suspension of the work inevitable. 7. The above licenses may be cancelled, and the claims forfeited, in consequence of the conviction of the holikrs, in any court of competent jurisdiction, of the illicit sale of spirits, or if any disorderly or riotous conduct endanger tho public morals or peace. 11. Persons found working alluvial gold on any land, public or private, without having previously paid the license tee to the proper officer, shall pay double the amount for such license ; and, in default, be proceeded ngaiotht in the usual manner. 9. If eny din ate shall arise in respect of any claim, reference should he forthwith made by the complainant to the commissioner or assistant-conimissioner of the district, who will lose no time in hearing and summarily determining the case on the spot, according to the evidence adduced on either side, giving due notice, of course, to the party com plained of. If necessary, he will take the proper measures for placing end maintaining the successful party in pories• lion of the claim. 2. I•IIIVATE LIND LICENSES. With respect to lands alienated by the crown in fee simple, the commissioner will not be autliori.eil to awn licenses under these regulations to any persons but the pro prieton, or persons authorised by them in writing to slyly for the same. The license fee for such lands will be one half only of that payable fur crown !Inds. Persons hold ing the game and working on crown lands, without licenses applicable thereto, will be liable to the psymeat of a double fee ; and all gold obtained without duo authority will, as in the case of crown lands, bo seized as Way the property of the crown. 3. WATERHOLES. 1. Persons desirous of draining ponds or waterholes, for the purpose of obtaining alluvial gold, may make application in writing to the commissioner or assistant commissioner of the district, describing accurately the locality. Such applica tions shall be decided by priority, and shall be imm..diattly recorded by such officer in a book to be kept by hint f.r that purpose, which shall be open at all reasonable times to the inspection of applicants. If there should be no valid objec tion to the application, from interference with alluvial dig ging, or other sufficient cause, the right to drain the water hole will be conceded to the applicant on payment of such number of lianas as shall be proportioned to the area of the waterholo, calculated a the rat: of 2. feet square for creel license. A claim for emptying a waterhole will be deemed to extend 12 feet from the back defining the boundary of such waterhole, together with sufficient space for the erection of machinery ►nd for other necessary purpose's, to be deter• mined by the commissioner or assistant-commissioner of the district. 2. The .....missioner or assistant commissioner is em powered to make such temporary regulations as may be ne enemy to prevent inconvenience to other licensed persons from the carrying on of operations of the above nature. 4. RZSEUVOIRS FOR WASHING GULD. 1. Persons de►irous of constructing reservoirs or dims in the gold fields, fur the purpose of washing gold, should make application to the local assistant-commissioner, who will, if the same should appear to hint unobjection able, grant the re9uisite permission. 2. The reservoir or dam will be reserved for the exclu sive use of the applicants, in all cases in which such reser vations will not, in the opinion of tho assistant-commis sioner, be detrimental to the public interest. S. EMPLOVMENT OP LICZN3ED LABOURERS. 1. The owners of all claims who may employ on hire, to assist them in working alluvia gold, and who may take out licenses for them, will be entitled, on applica tion to the commissioner or assistant•commissioner or the district, to have the licenses of ouch men transferred to other labourer•, in tho event of their quitting their ser vices or ceasing to work for them. Tile licenses must in every such case be produced to the commissioner or assis tant commissioner, who will endorse thereon, without any additional fee, the name of the transferee. 11. MATRIX GOLD. 1. Persons desirous of working auriferous quartz Wale may make application in writing to the commissioner or as. aistant commissioner of the gold district, accurately describ ing the locality. Such application shall be immediately re corded by such officer in a 000 k to be kept for the purpose, which shall be open at all reasonable times to the inspection of applicants. Incase no previous application shall have been made is the manner above described, and should there be no valid objection to the proposal, from interference with allu vial digging or any other su ffi cient cause, the commiuioner, on the same being approved of by the government, shall notify to the government his acceptance of the same. The applicant shall then enter into a bond, binding himself and • his partners, should the government be satisfied with the sufficiency of the parties, jointly and severally, in the sum of 1,0001, to pay a royalty of 10 per cent. on all gold ob tained to an officer to be appointed for that purpose by the government. If the government be not satisfied with the sufficiency of the appl;cant, then two or more solvent and responsible parties must be named. lie shall further be bound to permit such officer to reside on the laud in the neighbourhood of the works at such spot so may be ueignod by the ounraissioner, end also to give such officer access at all reasonable times to the buildings or premises, and to all books and accounts connected with the production of gold; also, to give all necessary facilities for the collection of the royalaily or weekly, as easy be found most desirable. . 2. AlAll buildings, machinery, or other improvements erected or made ou the land shell be considered : a addi tional security for the due performance of the conditions of the bond. i.fheelaim shall consist of half a mile of, and in the course of, the vein, with a quarter of • mile reserved on each side of such vein fur building and other purposes ne cessary for carrying on operations. The right of cutting or using timber for building or for firewood from adjacent crown lands, as well as acmes to neighbouring water, shall alsa be conceded; and, where the public convenience shall not suffer thereby, the commissioner or assistant-commis sioner of tho district will be empowered to grant the exclusive right to necessary water, whether on the half mile square enclosing the vein, or in the immediate neigh bourhood. 4. The beds of rivers or main creeks, intersected by veins, included in such claims, are nut excluded from license to the public generally, except for a distance of fifty yards on each side of such veins. But, with this ex ception, no licenses shall be given to the public to dig fee ' 'fluvial gold on such claims. The holders of the claim% however, who may desire to work alluvial gold, must take out licenses on payment of the usual fee of thirty shil lings monthly for such number of persons as they may employ for this purpose. 5. A claim such as the above shall he forfeited by the failure of the applicant to enter within • reasonable period, to be notified to him by the commissioner in writing, into the required bond, by his neglecting to pay the prescribed royalty at the time and in the manner required by the bond; by his not employing at least twenty persons, or machinery equivalent, calculated at the rate of one horse power to seven men, on such claim within six months of the acceptance of his application fur the same, unless such time shall bo specially extended by the government—by his ceasing to employ that number of persons or such ma chinery on the works for one month thereafter—by his em ploying unlicensed persons to work alluvial gold on the claim, by obstructing the officer in the proper performance of his duty, or in any other way violating the terms of the bend. Such vein shall then be open to selection by other parties. 6. The duration of the claim shell be three years, which, however, shall be extended for such further period as upon receipt of instructions from her Majesty's government may be determined upon, having due regard to the interests of the parties concerned. At the expiration of the term of their holding, or on the sooner determination of the tenure by the consent of the government, the parties shall have liberty to remove all buildings, machinery, or other im provements erected or made by them, and • reasonable time shall be given for that purpose, provided always that the conditions of the bond shall have been duly fulfilled. 7. No portion of land previously occupied under claims for alluvial gold will he open to selection fur matrix gold while it continues to be worked for the former. 11. PRIVATE LAM). Persons desirous of working auriferous quarts TCIO3 on private lauds, shall to subject to the terms of the abovo regulations, with the exception that the royalty payable on the gross product of the gold shall be hive per cent., and that they shall not bo compelled to employ any specified number of persons, nor be liable to any penalty on their ceasing to work. TRADERS' LICENSES. Persons occupying portions of the gold field, by erectang• temporary buildings, tents, &c., and carrying on any basi
