Last night the House of Lards entered on the consideration of the reasons for which the repre sentative branch of the Legislature refused to accept certain amendments carried by their Lordships. Lord DEBBY made several concessions, but there - were-some points on which he remained firm, and on which a conference will probably take place. The chief matter now at issue is that respecting I competitive examinations for admission to the scientific branches of the military service in India. They have yielded on the civil service, and thus the most lucrative situations in India will be given to the most deserving. But they make a stand on the question respecting the nomination to commissions in the Indian army. This is the question now to ba decided, and which may probably delay the prorogation for a day or two beyond the time anticipated. As we explained in our impression of yesterday, we always desire to see appointments given to the most meritorious candidates, without fear, prejudice, favour, or affection. Such a regulation would greatly sti mulate sound education amongst the middle classes, education which would be particularly _ valuable even to the defeated candidates, who would be fully prepared to enter on " the battle •of life" in any other capacity. But, although we agree in the advantages of a stringent exami nation, we must candidly admit that something • may be said on the other side. Great proficiency in literary matters is not required from every officer. It may be better that he should be a good cricketer, able to take a horse across a eountry, and an adept in manly amusements, than that he could give an erudite disquisition on a disputed passage in one of the Greek poets, or be . able to translate Virgil or Cicero at sight. 'lt is not the man that obtains the highest num- berg in the aggregate of many different courses that may eventually prove best qualified. .It is, of course, essential that a dis * crimitiative examinatien should be success- fully encountered, to show that the can- . didate had received sound instruction. But some little discretion should be allowed to those on whom responsibility is cast, and who should - therefore be enabled to select their own officers ' for carrying out their views and opinions. It-is universally admitted that there would be no danger in conferring the power on Lord STANLEY, but it has been said that there could not be equal security with respect to his successor. But Parliament has still the power to correct any existing evil, and when the great experiment has been fairly worked out, it will have better mate rials for so doing. We trust, then, that a measure of such vital importance, in which the welfare, happiness, _and prosperity of 150,000,000 of her subjects so greatly depend, may not be endangered by any undue obstinacy on either side. Lord CAMPBELL suggested the propriety of com petitive eximinations for admission into the House 'of Commons itself, which he describei as " having gone wild " on the subject. With all respect to his lordship, however, each candidate, unless of high political reputation, has to pass through a tolerably stringent examination before he can hope to be selected by an independent constituency. It is not . - the best man that always wins. Political adventurers and impostors sometimes succeed. But still, despite the corrupt influences too often in operation, despite b rib ery and intimidation, a T ~, a ,,.s arge proportion of good men is Wait \e a- T ., 1 7 ,, e , napetitive ex2,xination for seats in +1 \t' ec*.k. • branch of the Legislature should be de,t idei the votes of the electors, honestly an xl freely given under the safeguard and protectio n of the Ballot. When a majority has fairly been o btained, when a Member can truly be said to represent the wants and wishes of his constittwaits, we desire or seek for no further qualification. He has that which the British Consti tution recognises, the very best flat can be obtained. The reasons of Lord DERBY and Lord ELLENBOROUGH last night were very potent, and certainly materially influenced the opinion we had previously formed. It would perhaps be well that there should be a compromise, and a certain number appointed by superior answering, and others who had passed a discriminative exami nation, selected by the Secretary and Council on their own responsibility. This course would at once remove the difficulty, and perhaps be the best that could ultimately be resorted to. t_.------ ----- A very important meeting of members of the Australian Association, and gentlemen connected w ith the Australian colonies, w as held yesterday at the London Tavern, in order to decide on the best mode of obtaining an efficient postal service with those valuable dependencies. The main questions ventilated related to the comparative advantages of the routes by Suez and Panama, and whether the money that could be obtained from the liberality of the British and Australian Parliaments should be applied to one branch only, or to both. _ . We have no hesitation in answering, in ac cordance with the terms of the old apophthegm, that " both are best," and that, accordingly, we should strive to obtain two strings to our postal bow, if they can be got without a vast in crease to the indispensable supplies. Sydney, Melbourne, Van Diemen's Land, and New Zealand, are all entitled to increased facili ties of communication with the mother country. It is for our own interests to encourage, and liberally respond to an application so just and reasonable ; which, if it requires a little assist ance from one of the national pockets, will give an ample equivalant to another. We believe, how ever, that the assistance would be only required for a brief period, and that the undertaking would very speedi:y become to all intents and purposes self-supporting. Our Antipodean fellow-subjects understand the magnitude of the interests involved iu the final decision. They are prepared to come forward very handsomely, and we should meet them at least half-way. It is the way to retain their friendship and co-operation. So long as we act fairly and kindly, they will never seek to sever the tie by which we are connected. Let us, then, have both routes by Suez and Panama. If one should be interrupted, the other will, in all probability, remain open ; and, at all events, oven should everything be favourable, we shall be able to arrive at a decisive opinion re specting the comparative advantages of the rival lines. Our communications with Australia have become too important to be permitted to rest on a single route, which may be impeded. If there should be a fortnightly alternate despatch via Suez and Panama, intend ing travellers could select their own course, while commercial men, and indeed corres pondents of every class and character, would probably send duplicate letters and duplicate bills of exchange, so that the increased receipts would more than meet the increased expenditure. We trust that means will be adopted during the recess to bring this great amelioration into effect, and that ere the close of next session we may hear of the establishment of efficient Postal Communication via Panama, as well as that via Suez. SULN; - LONDON, FRIDAY comfortable position indicated by the old proverb, . 7 4 2s pe.:Iting those who attempt to sit on twe stookE., We do not for a moment wish to make mono last division on the Ballot than it is of th is its so-called Liberal opponents can worth ; but - making too little of it. We gain nothing by -4 of the best of the Liberal ought to know the nain, T e confident that they party pretty well, and we a. i‘r . ainistry, or some care little whether the p resent hodge-podgo of the , old Whig min: Aries bring in the Reform Bill next year, provided the Ballot be omitted. They perfectly well know that any Reform Bill woi tl d be nugatory without it. They know that--wh, her RussEnn shuffled the cards in favour of the N Vhigs, or DISRAELI in favour of the Tories —whether a few boroughs more or less 'were extinguished—whether it was preferred to create districts of boroughs rather than to .abolish any—whether the county franchise were •':tended more or less—whether new divisions were attempted, or whether any attempt were n lade to proportion representatives to constituent ins—whatever be done, all will be of little avail t •owards an honest representation till each elect or, like his fellow Englishmen in Australia, Is secured against the resentment of those who can injure him, on the same prin ciple on which members of courts-martial are now protected. U mess, therefore, the Whigs make up their mind to put the independence of the voter in the ft crefront of their programme, they will leave to Co,nservatives the prestige of bring ing in the New Reform Bill. ROY.AJ, ITALIAN OPERA. The producti'oi i of" Don Giovanni," with Signor I Mario in the ci mracter of the dauntless libertine, and Signor Rot i loni in:that of his faithful attend ant, has been la qg looked forward to as an event cf unusual inter 'st, and its fulfilment last night was witnessed by the most crowded audience that has been seen wi thin the walls of the new theatre. For the present t ye can bat record the complete success of the performance. Those who expected to see in Sig not • Mario a Don Giovanni unprece dentedly ham Isol ne and gallant, and noble in bear ing, were not dis appointed ; and those who antici pated a want of due effect in the music through the changes n‘lcessltated in order to de-barytonise the part, were mistaken in their previsions. The mina' encore!; occurred in the usual places, and the reception of Signor Mario, who was called forward betweezt the acts and at the fall of the curtain, was awl .t enthusiastic. RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN. The directol79 of this company have resolved to recommend to the proprietors, at the g-neral meet ing on the 7thl .Angust next, that the dividend fur the half-year len ding the 30th June last be at the rate of 4/. ss. por cent. per annum on the capital of the cowpaniy..

The Midland Company draw at tention to the "new route between L'indon, the Midland Counties, and Yorkshire," and announce that from the la of August through tickets will be issued from that King's-cross station. The notifi cation that " passengers from the country to Lon don are requested to inform the clerk, when they apply for tlc7kets, whether they wish to go via Rugby to the Easton-station, London, or via Bed ford to King's...-cross," has excited some attention on the part of persons interested in the London and North-Western Company. The Eastern Counties Railway traffic return pre sents this week an increase of 8551. ; the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, a decrease of 4541.; the Lancashire and Yorkshire, a decrease of 400/. ; the East Lancashire, a decrease of 1401. The half-yearly meeting of the Midland Railway Company is called for the 18th August, at Derby ; and that of tho North-Eastern Railway Company for the 20th August, at York. The half-yearly meeting of the Metropolitan Railway Company is called for the 17th August; that •f the North London Railway Company for th• 10th August ; and that of the Royston and Hitchin Railway Company for the 16th August. The annual meeting of the Royal Swedish Rail way Company is called for the 31st August, at Stockholm. . The precise state of the Liberals in the house is now before us, In one broad sheet, displaying in red and black ink to the first glance, the votes on the testing question, of the day, we may read the present position and the future prospects of the party which bore Lord PALMERSTON triumph antly to power last year. The Society for the Promotion of the Ballot has given us this useful document, and its tale is conspicuous to the eye. We should advise the great Whig leaders to have it framed and glazed, and hung up in their studies, as a kind of memento—a warning, that Whigs are no longer at the head of the great Liberal party. Our readers all know the old story of ' the slave whose duty it, was to whisper in the ear of triumphant warriors, that they were mortal ; the broad sheet before us might serve a similar purpose. Lord PALMERSTON, especially, appears as if he could not bring himself to believe that he is politically mortal ; notwithstanding he has lost almost every follower. The sheet before us would ( help to undeceive hlm. A pretty picture to be sure it is. Giving the perverse Whigs the benefit of all the liberal Con servatives, they mustered but eighty-six votes and pairs; the Tories rallied to the number of two hundred and twenty-seven ; and the Liberals, who showed themselves liberal enough to trust the people by voting or pairing for the ballot, numbered two hundred and nineteen,. Of those who voted, therefore, the Tories were the largest number, the supporters of the Ballot but eight behind them, and the Whigs, including the Liberal Conservatives, not equal to half either of the other parties 1 Can anything more clearly show the infatuation of the Palmerstonians and the followers of Lord Joim RUSSELL ? On the greatest political question of the day, they are content to appear at the head of the smallest band of representatives in the house. We believe, too, that in their list there is not to be found the Member of one single large independent constituency. Their section repre sents merely agricultural serfs whom the Ballot would emancipate ; or, boroughs so small, that most of them would vanish in the next schedule A. A pretty position for men to be in who aspire to the Treasury benches ! It is almost amusing to glance over the should-be Liberals, who are honoured with italics, in the Tory ranks, and to see the figure they cut beside the other two parties. The comparative vigour of the parties, too, is worthy of notice. The real Liberals and the Tories, including of course the pairs, muster strong. They both feel h ear t y in their cause. N E W QUEEN'S COUNSEL.—We understand the follow. The Tories fight manfully for the despotism of ng members of the profession are to be called " within county landlords, and for the " influence" of the bar" as Queen's Counsel :—Mr. Hawkins, of the borough patrons ; the true Liberals fight earnestly th e celebrated case of Swinton v. o for the independence of the voter; henc e 41 e , lately engaged in Home Circuit ; Mr. Ken ned y , of the Oxford Circuit, friends of the ballot only sixteen were absent , who defended Mr. Humphre) Br own in the late Royal Swiofen, tried at Stafford , and one of the j earn ed counsel about one-thirteenth of their body.

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Your correspondent " Ptscator" is quite right in his suggestion that the way to guard against the risk of breaking the cable while paying it out is to make the apparatus elastic, like the top joint of an angler's rod. Bat the idea is not now started for the first time. As long ago as August and September of last year a num ber of patents were taken oat by different persons for apparatus based on the principle which " P.scator" re commends. The particular form in which he proposes to carry out his plan —viz., by attaching the stern wheel, over which the cable is payod out, to the extremity of elastic spars or springs, would scarcely give the required amount of play to the wheel, and a simpler and more effective mode of supplying the desired elasticity is to pass the cable round a wheel the bearings of which slide in vertical grooves; and are held down by a power ful and sensitive spring. The sliding wheel would yield and give off 20 or gO feet of cable, or more if necessary, whenever a jerk produced a sudden increase of the strain. It is inconceivable why the engineers of the company should have declined even to test this simple contrivance, and the public ought to know that the failures which have occurred are not to be regarded as conclusive against the feasibility of an enterprise which has not yet been attempted with the best appliances which science can furnish. I enclose a copy of one of the specifications alluded to, is which it will be seen that " Piscatcr's” principle is put into a working shape, If the shareholders in the company were aware of the expedients that have been proposed, every one of them who has ever played with a 20-pound salmon would in sist on the trial of the same method of easing the strain on their unlucky cable. Perhaps it is not yet too late to take a hint from A FLYFISHER. TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES. Sir, —Having observed in your impression of this day the letter of " Piscator," containing a proposition for running out an elastic lever from the stern, I beg to state that, having accompanied the squadron last year to Valentia, after the fracture of the cable I designed ay arrangement similar in principle, but using com pressed air as the elastic medium, which I drew on paper and submitted to several gentlemen belonging to the company, and to one gentleman, an engineer, resident there. As I simply wish to vindicate my priority of in vention, I trust it will be sufficient excuse for trespass. ing on your space.---I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN MARSHALL, C.E. 9, John-street, Adelphi. EVENING, LATEST NEWS. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. It is reported that their Majesties of Spain have been invited by the Emperor Napoleon to be pre sent at the fetes at Cherbourg, Previous to the Emperor's leaving Plombikes, he proceeded on foot to the promenade of Sr. Loup, where the garrison was drawn up in line, with colonel and bind. His Majesty reviewed the troops, and distributed some decorations to the officers and men. He also reviewed the national guard of Plombieres, and afterwards received the adieux of the municipal council. Loud crif!s of " Vive l'Empereur 1" were raised by the people as sembled, who, notwithstanding the early hour, had mustered in considerable numbers. His Ma jesty afterwards got into a travelling carriage with General Bevy, M. de Latour d'Auvergne, and M. Mocquard, and proceeded towards Vesoul. Other carriages followed with the imperial suite. All the. postillions were dressed in the old costume, and had their hats ornamented with ribbons. So heavy a fall of rain took place in Paris yesterday afternoon about four o'clock that the streets in many places were inundated, and for some time rendered quite impassable to pedes trians. The temperature has become considerably lower, not marking yesterday more than 19 cen tigrade (66 Fahrenheit).

A letter from Belgrade of the 19th, in the Lloyds of Pesth, give the following brief particulars of the insult lately mentioned as having been offered to the Prussian flag at Belgrade :—" As the servants .f the Consulate of Prussia were last evening seated in accordance with their custom, in front of the house, an old Turk, named Osman Musts Bey Glawinitsch, who before the independence of Servla p..ssesEed large estates, and has now become very poor, stopped, and in most insulting terms ordered them to haul down the flag. Ha was immediately arrested, and the Prussian Consul demanded prompt satisfaction, which the Pacha promised should be accorded." DENMARK. A letter from Copenhagen says :—" The seizure effected at Stettin by the Prussian authorities ( f seven trading vessels bearing the Danish flag has produced an unusually great sensation here. In addition, information h►s reached us that an eighth Danish vessel has been forbidden to leave the port of Stettin. It is impossible to compre hend the motives which can have induced the Prussian Government to select the present moment to suddenly apply a royal order of 1822, which prescribes the seizure of the vessel and cargo when a foreign trader is found to be engaged in the coast ing trade between one Prussian port and another. That excessively severe measure, now exercised agtinst our flag, can be the less ex plained that by a reciprocal convention the Prussian Government itself engaged to con tribute—as it has done for several years—to the expenses of navigation of our steamer, the Geiser, which conveys regularly letters, passengers, and goods fro in Copenhagen to Swinemunde and Stettin. That is certainly to carry on the coastiwg trade in a Danish vessel between Prussian ports, and yet no objection was ever made to the practice. It may be looked on as certain that Denmark, whatever may be the difficulties of the moment, will not neglect any means afforded it by its naval superiority to insist on its rights and obtain com plete satisfaction for the seizure a,nd prolonged de tention of the eight vessels. It is stated that an energetic note has been addressed to Prussia by the Danish Government, and that our envoy at Frankfort is charged to represent all that is strange in such an act, particularly at a moment when Den mark, by large concessions, proves her pacific and conciliatory sentiments." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 25th publish details of the arrival of the Queen and King at Valladolid. A telegraphic despatch in the Gazette says that on the 24th the Queen and King remained at Valla dolid, but it gives no account of their movements. The Discusion , bad been seized. At BArcelona, the beat was extraordinarily great, and several wealthy families bad quitted the city. " The Secretary of till United States Legation at Constantinople," say a letter from Beyrout in the Bedouins, w ho had been given Vienna Gazette, "arrived here on the 3d, having in his cu.tody five up to him to be puntThed as murderers of an Ame rican family at Jaffa." AAthens of the 17th, in the Aus trian Vienna, says :--"The French letterGazettfero ofm steamer yesterday brought the news that the Ails triau consul at Retimo, in Candia, who also con ducted the French consulate, bad, after hauling down the Austrian flig, left the place in cor43e quence of acts of violence commtted against the consulate by the Turks."

Tile steamship Austria, from Southampton, ar rived out on the 16th. The news is but little later than that brought by the Anglo-Saxon. A Washington despatch to the New York Herald says it is reported th at a special messenger left yesterday for Mexico, carry ing despatches to Minister Forsyth from Washing ton, approving his suspension of diplomatic inter course with that country, and directing the with drawal of the Legation, and its return to the United States. It is understood that General Scott has issued preparatory orders tor all the available troops on the Atlantic seaboard to be ready to reinforce the army in Washington territory. A detachment of 400 men would sail from New York on the 20th inst. in a special steamer for Aspinwall. These movements are consequent upon the defeat of Colonel Steptoe's command. The correspondent of the York Herald in Mexico writes that the persons recently sent out of the country, with the exception of Americans, had been invited to return ; but we find an official proclamation in a Mexican paper which repeals forced loans on foreigners without exceptions. Details h ave b een received of a d i s astrous earth quake on th e 18th June in the Valley of Mexico. The loss of lif e i s es timated at 5 0 persons , and that of property i n th e City of .

A terrible and distressing accid.int took place on the 15th on the Now York and Erie Railroad, by which six persons were instantly killed, and nearly 40 more woueded. The night express train en countered a broken rail five miles from Port Jervis, when two cars were thrown off the track down an embankment which, at this point, is nearly 30 feet high and very steep. A collision had also occurred on Jackson Railroad on the 16th with a mail train, by which many persons were injured.

On the 27th May, the Governor, accompanied by Mr. Dallas, one of the four Directors of the Hudson's Bay Company, and Captain Prevost of the Satellite, left the Fort for a trip up the river to Fort Yale. The Governor and party were received by the miners on the river with salutes and cheers, and at Hill%), Bar dined in one of the .og cabins of the boatmen's party, and, as I hear, he affair, if not as recherche as if given at the "St. Nicholas," passed off as pleasantly as could be desired. The Governor was highly delighted with the warm reception he met with, and it certa;nly evinces the feeling existing towards him from the miners, who, so far, have experienced n many instances his kindness towards there. Re appointed custom-house officers at Fort Yale, and magistrates on the main bars—the latter from amongst the miners themselves. Some forty canoes arrived while I was at Fort Langley, averaging six persons in each. But few of them had obtained clearances at Victoria, and, on the Governor's return from up the river, he gave notice that he should hereafter stop all canoes from ascending or entering the river, as the time stated in his Proclamation had expired already some time. He, however, gave clearances to all then there—some one hundred in number. The next day he left, in the Company's steamer Otter, for Victoria. Since then no canoes have been allowed to pass Fort Langley, not having cleared at Victoria ; and since my arrival here I learn that the Satellite, now in Esquimault Har- hour, will return to her anchor off the mouth of the river, and prevent any vessels whatever from entering the river, without having cleared at Vic- toria. The canoes are all numbered and regis- tered, and any found not so will be seized and forfeited. The Satellite's launch will be stationed at the outlet of the Lake, on the river, twenty miles above Fort Langley, where the trail from Bellingham Bay reaches the river, and will effectually prevent any from " dodging the ques tion" by that way. Three canoes, with about 15 men, came down to Fort Langley whilst I was there, from some 30 miles above the Forks. They were without pro visions, and came down from that cause. I was acquainted with several of them, and they showed me their dust. They had averaged from an ounce to three ounces, all the time they had been on the diggings—some five weeks. The river had risen over seven feet above the "Canons" and was then still rising. There was no such thing as going up the river again until the water tell. They were bound for the Sound. Mr. Furness came down from Hill's Bar, with over 750 dols. in gold dust, the product of four weeks' work—besides having sold his claim at a good price. He told me the river had risen over two feet there, and the miners were working in the bank, making good wages even there. I left Fort Langley on June 5, in a canoe, and at night camped about 20 miles up the river. There were four other canoes in company with us. After supper and a smoke, watches being se..iled, e got under the IA rukets and were talking, when one of the party exclaimed that he heard the sound of paddle-wheels. In an instant we were on our feet and listening. There was no doubting it. As the steamer neared us with her lights shining out in the darkness, our camp was in about as excited a state as could be imagined. Along she came until abreast our fire, when the anchor dropped and in two minutes I was aboard the Surprise, whilst the party ashore were saluting her with guns and revolvers. It certainly was au event calculated to excite us, as we had not the slightest idea of there being any such steamer in the river. I left the canoe, as you can imagine, and took passage on her, being obliged to take out a mining license on going aboard, the boat not being allowed to take any miner up the river without it. She had left Fort Langley, at 7i p.m., and had made 20 miles in two hours, the current running about six knots against her. The next morning, the 6th, at 3i a.m., she went ahead, and at 2 p.m. arrived at Fort Hope. This was an average of Vi knots. She could have gone at greater speed, but it was not desired. Mr. 1 ale at Fort Langley had sent an Indian aboard, who piloted her up and down, and who evidently knew every eddy and shoal on the river. The Indians on the river evidently did not know what to make of the "Surprise ;" and as to the different camps and canoes we passed of white men, they all but stood on their heads for astonishment at seeing her going along in the centre of the cur rent, showing what those infernal Yankees could do when necessary. She worked well, steered like a pilot boat, and though caught in some tight place, went ahead through all. At one or two places, they "opened her out," and away she went around a sharp bend, or through a narrow pass, with a ten-knot current against her, as if she was aware what was expected of her, and the renown that would attach to her if she went through. Having gone tip as light as possible—not knowing how shoal it might be in some places—there was but little coal left, and it was concluded not to go up to Fori Yale then. She remained at Fort Hope two days. Thera were some 120 men camped at Fort Hope, bound up. The same afternoon about sundown, a difficulty occurred two and a half miles below Fort Ef ope, between a party of white men who were in two canoes, and the Indians—in which an Indian chief of the Harrison river tribe was shot with a revolver. The Indians in return shot one of the party, who fell overboard ; but whose body was found an hour or two afterwards on the beach, stripped and already mutilated by crows. It appears that the boats stopped at a bar where a number of Indians were mining, and in getting out one of the party stepped on the gunwale of a canoe, splitting it. The Indian to whom it belonged de manded payment for it, and took a shovel out of the white's canoe, as being more desirable than the money. Thereupon he was struck with a paddle. He returned the blow with the shovel across the face of the man who struck him, who instantly shot him through the body. As soon as he fell, the whites pushed off. The Indians fired into them and shot a man, as I have above stated—but who was not the one that struck the Indian or bad anything to do with it. The Indians down the river, as soon as they received the news of this affair, stopped all canoes from ascending above Harrison river, but harmed none, I went on up to Fort Yaie in the moaning, and found a great commotion. The Indians were running down the river in great numbers ; but through Mr. Alard, the Hudson's Bay Company's agent at Fort Yale, they were partly pacified, and when I came down the men were again at work on the bars. The water was high, but still almost all were at work. At Fort Yale they were making from 5 dols. to 6 dols., right in the bank. At Hill's Bar all reported good dirt. Mr. Joseph Morgan, whose claim was on the lower end of the bar, was averag ing from 8 dols. to 10 dols. per day. The claims above his were paying better—up to 30 dols. Mr. Hill came down with me, on bis way to Olympia. He had been four weeks at work on the bar, which is known by his name ; and had aver aged 50 dols. per day for that time. He intends returning as soon as the water commences falling, going down meanwhile to settle up some busines affairs. A party of five who were mining some 35 miles above the Forks, and who came dawn in the Sur prise for provisions, averaged from 20 dols. to 25 dols. pEr day. It being impossible to get anything up the river until the water falls, they Lad to come down. Thera are no men now working on Thompson river, the Indians there not permitting any one to go up. The gold. on Thompson river is known to ba coarser than that on Frazer above the Folks. On the 9th June, at 4.30 a.m., the Surprise left Fort Hope, and swung out into the current. We flew past the trees, rocks and points at railroad speed ; but all went right, though the thougit, I suppose, intruded on all en board, " What a plea- Banc ending it would be for her bow to cone in con. tact with some unseen rock !" About 10 mils above Harrison river we met the bee. Bird, bound Up, We - rent past luir like n, ailed, and anchored off Fort Langley at 8 a.m. The next trip she will collie down in much less Lime. The same owning we arrived at Bellingham Bay, having been detained some two hours on the sands at the mouth of the river. I hardly recognised the place. I was here before the gold fever broke out, and altogether there were about ten houses. Where there stood a dense wood before was now the tow❑ of " Sehome !" Whilst on the other side of the coal mine was "Whatcom" larger than Sehome, but having the drawback of about a mile of bar in fi out of it, at low water. There were, as nearly as I could judge, about 1,000 men here, nearly all busy staking out water lots, about which there seems to be great trouble brewing. Others were making preparations for starting out on the trail ; but by far the greater part were apparently in tending to go no further. The pack train had just left, and as I was told, charged 20 eta. per pound I for goods. Provisions at Bellingham Bay were plenty and cheap. Flour was $l6 per bbl ; bacon, 30 cts. per lb. As those are the two grand staples, the rest were priced accordingly. About 120 passengers came aboard here, and the Surprise returned to Victoria. There, on the 12th June, the Republic armed with her crowd of passengers, the majority of whom went on to Bellingham Bay. The same day (yesterday) I left in a canoe with six Indians bound for Port Townsend, where I arrived an hour ago, to find it deserted of the crowd I heard was there. The fact ap peared to me that it has " gone in," at; the saying is. The storekeepers were seemingly ruminating on the past four weeks' excitement, and as they smoked their cigars, wondering where the deuce the people had gone to. On my way over I stopped at San Juan Island, where the late fracas occurred between the In dians and Mr. Hubbs, the U.S. Inspector there ; and found that a crowd of Coquille Indians, in eight canoes, had arrived on a small island con tiguous to it, wrier() they had captured, or rather "corralled" three Americans, who had stopped there to camp, taking everything away from them. The Indians also stated that they had shot a Kanaka, but I do not know how true it was. Mr. Hubbs was not there when I arrived, having gone to the place to see about the affair. As I had need of urgent haste to reach Port Townsend, I did not stop long. I return to Victoria immediately, and from thence I will go up the river again, whence 1 shall write. The Surprise will run regularly between Victoria and Fort Hope or Fort Yale, connecting with the mail steamer from San Francisco. Thus any one can slip aboard a steamer in San Francisco and got off on any bar they may wish to stop at this side of Fort Yale. In my opinion, to talk of any other route is a farce to men from San Francisco. Now that the water is high, the trails must be re sorted to, to get up to the Forks; but when the river is even moderately high, canoes can he taken as high up the river as desired, making but one or two fifty yard portages, at the Grand Falls and one rapid. However, I 1.11,11 write from my experience soon, though my authority is good for the preceding. Tile maps of Frazer river, which are so plentiful, are poor ; the course of the river is not right ; and whilst a great number of imaginary streams aro put down, the great number of large and well known ones are not to be found. A great number of places on the river are now known by distinctive names, none of which appear on the published maps. The sketch of the river which I lately sent you is correct to the time it was drawn. 1 suppoe that after the places get a little better known, the maps will be correct enough. STATEMENT OF A RETURNED IVIINE:t FROM FRASER RIVER. Mr. George B. Wilbur, a brother of one of the firm of Strobridge and Co., who his just arrived on the Panama, has c tiled upon us, and given some interesting particulars of his experience in the Fraser River min , s, which will be found below. He left San Francisco on the 20th April, on board the steamer Colombia ; stopped at Port Townsend one day. Himself and party, composed of seven others, bought a canoe for 50 dots. and started for Frazer River. Were ten days making the distance from Port Townsend to Fort Yale, about 260 miloc. At Fort Yale they went on ab..ut 1.2 miles, and came to rapids, where they had to make a portage of about eight miles—one mile of which they were compelled to pack oven their canoe upon their backs. At " Sailors' Digging" they camped and mint d ; and continued to move slowly up the river, prospecting as they went along the river's banks. They found gold everywhere. At some places more, at others less—sometimes they took out as much as four larts to the pan, at other times five ceivs. They went up about 25 miles further than Fort Yale, and were prevented from ascending higher by some rapids or where the water fell near 15 feet over the rocks. It was impossible to take a canoe higher. Near the Falls they prospected and found gold very plenty. They noticed as a characteristic of the mines, that the higher up the river they went, the coarser was the gold. Near the Falls, and scattered along the river banks, from Sailor's Bar up, were many miners at work—all with rockers, as the gold was too fine to be saved in any other way. They had to pir, blankets in the rockers to save the fine particles. The average was from two to three ounces per day to the rocker, requiring two men to the rocker. Some places were much richer than others. The Indians were very troublesome. They would seize upon the dust dug by the whites and wash out the gold. They would even take the tools from the miners. The whites were afraid to resist, as they would have been over whelmed by numbers. In five minutes time five hundred Indians could be gathered at Hill's Bar. These Indians were very expert thieves. They would steal the pistols from under the head of a sleeping man, and the very clothes from his person. From the fact that the gold is only found on the river banks, Mr. Wilburn is ce►tain that the gold-bearing country is above. The river is about a quarter of a mile in average width. It is full cf bars, that are exposed when the waters subside, all of which must be full of gold. When the freshet is over, the miners can ascend higher—and the higher up they go, the richer and coarser the gold appears to be. Canoes were selling at Fort Langley for one hundred dollars each. The Indians were very treacherous, and had to be watched. They would cut the tow-line of canoes they were hired to tow up, and sometimes would jump out and desert you when on the rocks. EXCITEIVIENT ON THE INCREASE. ight, The Frazer river gold fever is on the increase. Every few hours we hear of more and more people, many of them men in fair business here, packing up and preparing to start off. The hotels are all full. The What Cheer House, a favourite resort, has been filled to overflowing, and hundreds have had to be sent away, who had flocked down from tl)e interior of the State. MAny of the . b . v.sineQs h o uses of the city have already made la•ge amounts of money iu selling goods to miners, and, in some instances, outfits have been made out for setting op stores at Bellingham Bay and other places.
