THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE._ It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our wonder will cease. A few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horserwhich was a " perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. Ile then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &e., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own intrinsic merits, and the great demand for itcan proceed alone from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free. NEW AND IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE.

'Yesterday orders were issued -for- the Ist batta lion of the 15th Foot, and the 2d battalion of the 9th Regiment, to be held ready to embark for the Mediterranean, to replace the regiments ordered to India. Yesterday orders were issued from the Horse Guards for a company of the Royal Artillery, num bering 3 officers and 113 men, to proceed from Woolwich to Jamaica, and 6 officers and 183 men to Barbadoes. The companies now stationed in those islands, numbering 10 officers and 215 men, are to return to Woolwich ; 37 women and 62 chil dren are to be brought home with these troops, the wives and children of the soldiers. The following additional vessels have been taken up by the Hon. Council for India for the convey ance of reinforcements and stores to India :—The Hougomont, 962 tons; the Arethusa, 942 tons; the Redan, 859 tons ; and the Saladin, 856 tons, for Calcutta. The Janet Willis, 666 t ons ; an d the Berkshire, 700 tons, for Madras. The Caroline Coventry, - 888 tons, for Bombay. The Matilda Wattenbach, 1,000 tons, for Kurrachee. Orders have been received at Fort Fitt, Chatham, for the following medical officers attached to the staff at that establishment to proceed to the under mentioned stations—viz., Staff Assistant-Surgeon E. A. Gibbon and Staff Assistant-Surgeon T. Ryan, to Gibraltar ; Staff Assistant-Surgeon W. Crisp, to China ; Staff Assistant-Surgeon E. Hoile, to Col chester ; and Staff Assistant-Surgeon C. Langmore, to Winchester. Yesterday morning the following detachments embarked at Gravesend on board the Lady Octavia, 1,200 tons, .Commander D. Welch, for Calcutta :- 13 men of the 23d Royal Welsh Fusileers and 6 men of the 35th (Royal Sussex) Regiment, from Chatham ; 60 non-commissioned officers and men of the 54th Regiment, 38 men of the 88th (Con naught Rangers), and 40 non-commissioned officers and privates of the 97th (Earl of Ulster's) Regi ment,- from- Cokhestar ; 19 men of the ISt battalion 60th Rifles, from Winchester ; 10 men of the 42d Highlanders, 16 men of the- 73d Regi ment, and 18 men of -the 93d Highlanders, from. Scotland. The officers who accompany the detach ments are Ensign N. Gosselin, Ist battalion, 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers ; Ensign Jas. H. Tarleton, 54th Regiment ; Ensign W. Steele, 60th Rifles; and Ensign W. Clarkson, 73d Regiment. . Orders have been•given for 168 non-commis sioned officers and men of the Ist battalion 3d Buffs_ to be held in readiness to embark on board the Hougomont, 962 tons, at Cork, for Calcutta, for the purpose of reinforcing the service companies of that corps, now in the Bengal Presidency. Yesterday the battalion of Royal Marine Light Infantry at head-quarters, Chatham, assembled on their parade ground, for the purpose of hearing read the proceedings of a court-martial which re cently assembled at Chatham for the trial of Private Brown, of the Chathani division, on two separate charges of creating a disturbance in the streets of Chatham, and also for attempting to break out of confinement. The Court found the prisoner guilty, and, in consideration of his former character, sen tenced him to 28 days' imprisonment in Fort Cla rence, ten days of which were to be passed in soli tary confinement. The committee of the Central Association for Improving the Condition of the Wives and Families of Soldiers and Sailors have announced a bazaar, under the patronage of the Countess of Darnley and other ladies of distinction, which will take place at Chatham to-morrow and Friday. The objects of this society, which has already been the means of effecting a vast amount of good, are to afford relief to the wives and families of those soldiers and sailors at Chatham garrison who are suffering from privations during the absence of their husbands on foreign service. The_ relief is afforded in a variety of ways, partly by gifts of money and the neces saries of life. The chief feature, however, in con nection with the association is that the persons requiring . relief are taught to helithemselves, and the families trained to industrial occupations. This is accomplished by the receipt of needlework from the army contractors at Chatham and its distribution among the persons requiring aid, the committee giving an additional price be sides that paid by the contractors. By these means nearly 100 young persons are daily em ployed and trained to habits of industry, a com mittee of ladies superintending the issue and the receipt, of the work. The committee have also a house at Brompton used as a hospital for sick women, and this is supported entirely by the society's funds. - Yesterday orders were issued from the office of Public Works •to prepare the space at the end of Waterloo-place, on the north side of Pall-mall, heretofore occupied by the Bude light, for the re ception of the Guards' Crimean Memorial. The memorial, cast from Russian guns, is composed of four large figures, standing on a:granite pedestal ; it will face St. James's Park. The models are all ready for casting, amid the work is expected to be placed in position by the sth proximo, the anni versary of the battle of Inkerman. Mr. J. Defries, of Houndsditch, has taken the con tract for lighting the Camp at Aldershot during the winter months. Upwards of 7,000 lamps are used. Her Majesty's corps of Yeomen Warders have re ceived undress uniforms in lieu of the gold embroi dered tunics hitherto worn by them, and which cost from £5O to £6O each, now only to be worn on State occasions. Yesterday the Warders appeared in their new tunics, composed of blue cloth, slashed and turned up with red. In consequence of the large number of European troops engaged in the suppression of the Indian re volt, to maintain whose health a supply of malt beverage has been found absolutely necessary, the Indian Council yesterday invited tenders for an un limited supply of ale and porter for the troops quartered in the Indian presidencies. THE MILITIA. The Tower Hamlets Militia, Col. the Earl of - Wilton, having been inspected by Col. Douglas, at Bethnal-green, have been dismissed to their homes, their period of training being completed. On Mon day a great many of them, fine smart young fel lows, volunteered into the Royal Artillery and regiments of the line. The Herefordshire Regiment of Militia, Lieut.- Col. Rushout, M.P., commanding, completed their 21 days' training on Monday, when they were dis missed. On Saturday morning the men were in spected by Col. Patten, inspector of Militia for the Bristol district, on the ground in front of the bar racks, and were 'highly complimented by the gal lant colonel, both upon their progress in drill and their general good conduct in billet. - On Saturday, the 9th inst., the Rutland Militia, under the command of Captain the Hon. Henry Noel, was inspected at Oakham by Major Sir G. Robinson, late Inspector of Musketry at Hy-the. The inspecting officer was pleased to express his entire approval of the appearance and efficiency of the regiment . The Royal Glamorganshire Light Infantry are undergoing 21 days' drill at Cardiff, the men being exercised daily in the Park-field. They have mus tered an average number, and their conduct is spoken of in a satisfactory manner. On Saturday the transport Melbourne arrived in Queenstown with the 2d Staffordshire Militia on board, under the command of Col. the Hon. E. K. Littleton. Among the officers who arrived 'with the regiment are Capt. Nuge n t, Adjutant; C ap t. Dis ney, Lieuts. Cooper, Disney, and Crampton ; En sign Sneid, Mr. Low, Mr. lenthall, and Quarter master Cudmore. The regiment consists of 650 men. Another regiment of English Militia is ex pected next_week at Cork. • -`•- On Monday Superintendent Green arrived at Sheerness with a strong body of Kent County Con stabulary, collected from the Eversham and Sit tingbourne districts, and waited upon the Com mander-in-Chief and the commanding officer of the North Cork Rifles. The. latter pledged himself that none of his men should -be allowed to leave their barracks, and it was anticipated that all would go well that evening. At dusk, however, a body of militiamen, going outside the fortifications, came into the town by Queenborough-wall. They first attacked a poor fisherman while going to his boat, which was lying near the wall, and beat him so severely about his head and Jace with their sticks that hardly a feature remains diStinguishable. They then rushed into the town and commenced breaking the windows of the Fountain Hotel. At the time they were thus engaged a piquet of 100 Cork Rifles, under the charge of a commissioned officer, was drawn up before the hotel, and stood. silent specta tors of the acts of their comrades. The men then pro ceeded to demolish the doors, shutters, and windows of a number of nther houses ; and as it was found that none of- the piquets would act to preserve the property or protect the persons of the townsfolk, application was made to the Royal • Artillery for assistance. Aceordingly, 100 men of this corps, under Captain Wragge, were despatched in aid of the civil authorities, and the rifle pickets; were or dered to barracks. The Royal Artillery proceeded forthwith to clear the town of the militiamen, many of whom took forcible possession of-houses to evade apprehension. The inhabitants followed_the artil lery picket and cheered them heartily _ Within half an hour Bluetown was cleared, to 'the great joy of the residents. Yesterday the chief constable of the county force, Capt. Ruxton, and two county magistrates arrived at Sheerness, and an investiga tion was instituted, at. the colonel commandant's office, the result of - which, it is hoped, will be the immediate removal of the North Cork Rifle Militia from Sheerness, where the corps have disgraced the uniform they wear. Strong pickets of th artillery were to be placedaroundthe fortifications last night to prevent the rifles leaving barracks, and every precaution has been taken by the commander-in chief. CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT NOR WICH. s • An interesting meeting of the Conservative party of this city took place last evening, the occasion being the:anniversary meeting of., the "Eldon Loyal and Constitutional Club." The proceedings derived some importance from the presence of Sir Samuel Bignold, late. M.P. for Norwich, and Sir Henry - J. Stracey, formerly M.P. for East Norfolk, and the unsuccessful Conservative candidate at the recent election for that constituency. The toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers" was, of course, received with enthusiasm by the staunch Conservatives present. At a subsequent period of the evening the health of Sir Samuel Bignold, the leader of the Conserva tive party in Norwich, was proposed, and received with much applause. Sir SAMUEL BIGNOLD, in returning thanks, said he had been described as the leader of the Conser vative party in Norwich, but on the present occa sion he rather preferred rising as a private indivi dual. He thought the members of the club had met this year under rather more auspicious circum stances than those under which they assembled 12 months since. They were now under the auspices of the Earl of Derby, and he had no doubt that they all felt that that Government was More in accord ance with. the welfare of the country than Lord Pal merston's Administration. Allusion had been made to his (Sir S. Bignold's) having once been a successful candidate for the representation of Norwich; but at his period of life he would rather counsel his friends to look out for younger blood as regards the future. At the same time they might depend upon his being true to their standard in season and out of season. He had been set aside in the represcn of the city;but he did not think that the Liberals had gained much in 'consequence, for on the first great occitsion on which a trial of party occurred Lord Bury, who had taken his place, voted against the .Government of Lord Palinerston, although he knew that if - Ministers were placed in a minority they must go out, as they could not dissolve again. Lord Bury had voted precisely as he (Sir Samuel Bignold) should have done if he had been in the house ; and, therefore, the Liberals of Norwich had no great, cause to chuckle over the loss of his seat. He con sidered the change of Government was very much for the general welfare, as the commercial interests of the country had frequently been trifled with by men formerly in power. With regard to the income-tax, which all felt to be a most odious and oppressive impost, he had little doubt that if the Whigs had remained in power it would have been 7d. in the pound at the present moment ; but Lord Derby had held that the expectations which the people were led to indulge that the income tax should be reduced to sd. in the pound in 1858 should be carried out at all hazards, and he had little doubt that if Lord Derby continued in power it would be found that the tax would be far ther dropped to 3d.• in the pound in 1859, and that in 1860 it would be extinguished altogether. (Cheers.) They had heard a great deal in the public journals about the intention of the Govern ment to bring out a Reform Bill, but, as far as he (Sir Samuel Bignold) could gather from' the sentiments express e d by Lord Derby on the first evening on which he took his seat on the Treasury bench, he made no promise to that effect as the principle .-of his Government. Lord Derby said that the session of 1858 was not a proper time for bringing in a Reform Bill, and as to the succeeding year he would give the subject his most mature and anxious consideration. He (Sir Samuel Bignold) was not aware that Lord Derby stood pledged con sequently to bring in a Reform Bill in the present session. However, if the Government should de cide that the time had arrived for changes in the constitution, he should have more confidence in any change enunciated by the Earl of Derby than by Lord .Palmerston, because he believed that the former would. introduce no changes which would at all endanger the balance of power—King, Lords, and Commons, which had so gloriously maintained the interests of all classes and worked .so well for the State.. With regard to the condition of the Conservative party in Norwich he believed that whoever they might put forward when the time of trial came would be returned, unless .their oppo nents entered upon a lavish expenditure of money, an example which he should not counsel his friends to follow. As a private individual he should be most anxious of i every Zoccasion to help the good cause. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Sir Henry Stracey, " and his speedy re-election for the county of Norfolk." (Loud cheers; and musical honours,) Sir H. STRACEY responded. Soiree yearg had elapsed since he had had the honour of dining with the Eldon Club, but he remembered that the club had pledged themselves to support him when he came forward at a future election. The members had since carried out their pledge like good Con servatives and so far as Norwich was concerned had returned him by a large majority. He entered upon the contest for East Norfolk that he might have an opportunity of :supporting the great Con servative party of this country and Lord Derby in Parliament; he was ambitious to serve the Conser vative party in the country. Having formerly been returned most handsomely without opposition on one occasion, he felt that he had a debt to pay to the county if an opportunity offend of present ing himself as 4 candidate for its representation. The opportunity did offer. As far as his own exer tions were concerned, he devoted all the mental and physical power of which he was master to secure his return ; and he hoped to have succeeded, had not some unfortunate events, to which he would not further allude, intervened. Still, he felt proud at having been supported by upwards of 2,700 of theronservative electors of Norfolk. He professed no diplomacy, and he believed no man, of whatever party, would say that he had ever stated that which he did not mean. For the futnre he would recom mend them to stand fast by their friends, and not to calculate upon those who upon critical occasions had either shown lukewarmness, or had been placed in the balance and found wanting. He believed they might rely upon the Conservative party and upon its great head, Lord Derby,' for what ever was promised to them. Lord Derby had held out a kind of promise as to a Reform Bill ; he had stated that he did not approve the practice of keeping the subject dangling before the eyes of the country. Those were the terms of Lord Derby, and they were enough to tell that his lordship had a Reform Bill in his mind, and that he intend e d to session produce it. His (Sir H. Stracey's) firm belief was that a Reform Bill would be produced next He had no special information on the _subject and. no further reason for saying .so than his firin belief that Lord Derby did more than he promised, Sir G. C. Lewis, who had held the honotirable office of Chancellor of the Exchequer, and . was a man of great education, had lately stated that no Reform Bill would be acceptable which did not savour strongly of democracy. He (Sir 11. Stracey) did not exactly understand this, as he did not see how any limit to democracy was to be secured. As far -as he - understood democracy it meant the govern ment of the people, and he looked upon this as leading at any rate to the indulgence of the wilde:t passions without any guard whatever ; he there fore looked upon democracy and revolution as sync nymous terms. He did not believe that Derby would 'ever dream of introducing a bill leading to democracy without limitation, but he had not the slightest doubt that his lordship's bill would have a liberal tendency—that it might even tend to lower the franchise and give members in proportion to the population of the country. It might have liberal tendencies of this kind ; and he (Sir Henry, Stracey) candidly told them, that if he were i n P ar li amen t, an d if th e Reform Bill introduced included the ballot, he should be only too glad to support the measure. The ques tion of the ballot was one which Conservatives had always looked on with horror, and he must he ought had to o n be the known n s o u w subject. c howt. acknowledge that no one h a d a stron rr feelin 9; than tHeha-tpr p hadfeelrtt property that wast in fluence of property ought a l ways to b e f e l t, th at i t repre sented—that is, how pers ons vote d ; and he had also considered that property would not have its proper influence if vote by ballot were establishal. But he had•now had a certain amount of experience in social and political life ; he had been engaged in two elections ; he had fought one contest singl2.- handed, and as far as his expeßence went upon the latter occasion, he had been4lecl to the conclusion that the Conservetin. IfUrAt:c Matt bate bey injured by the ballot. He was quite convince& that the Conservative cause not only in Norfolk but throughout the country could not be injured by the ballot, if ,honesty Of principle were to prevail without that abominable-thing ,called the "screw." (Hear.) Of this he was . quite sure, that thepresent ' laws at any rate did-not prevent Corruption, which had been general throughout - the, country ; and could things be worse with the -ballot? He very much doubted whether they would - not be a great deal better,and he thought the experiment was Well worth a trial. If an honest man had an opportunity of exercising his judgment freely, he . believed the Conservative cause, in consequence of the exercise of that honestY, would-be in the end a:gainer. Pos sibly some-of-them might not agree with him .on this subject; - but Lord Stanley, who, as had been ably observed, was a government in himself, had - voted for the measirrese that: at any rate he was not forming a very erroneous judgment; and he felt himself justified - from personal. experience in aeclarin g -himself in favour 'of" the ballot. Sir Henry, -in _conclusion; prOposed f‘ The Health of the Chairman." - The - CHAIRMAN reArned thanks. Subsequently Mr. J: G. JOHNSON responded to the toast of " The Magistracy," and entered a strong protest against the ballot. • Referring to Lord Derby's anticipated measure of reform, Mr. Johnson expressed his conviction that it would give numbers their proper influence, property a proper influence, and station a proper influence ; while at the same time it would not seek to over-ride the independent will of the Sovereign, nor to swamp the House o f Lords, which had often proved the safeguard iaf England. (Cheers.) Several otheetoasts were given in the course of the evening. HOP INTELLIGENCE. WORCESTER HOP-MARKET, Saturday.—The im proved and 'correct taste, which has for the last few years induced the public to prefer a sparkling light ale to the heavy muddy mass which was formerly vended, has caused such an increasing demand for Worcester'hops, the beautiful flavour and the deli cate bitter of which are so peculiarly suited for the first class of pale ale, that our growth is , eagerly bought up immediately it comes to hand and at this day's market, the fourth since the crop came in, Lif -day, tine and choice qualities have really become scarce and 3s. to 4s. dearer, whilst the demand appears to increase, and is evident that the growth of . our choice qualities re quires to be extended. L _ - RETFORD HOP F4m.—North Clay_ hops were offered at from 70s. to 84s. per cwt., yearlings .E 5 per cwt. Mid and East Kent were ffered at from 60s. to 112 s. per cwt. Weald of Kent, of which only a few were exhibited by sample, were offered at from 60s. to 755. per cwt. MAIDSTONE, Oct. 7.—The hop picking is now brought to a close, after a season of unprecedented fine weather, the hoppers not losing an hour's time. There have been within the last few days several country sales, at good paying prices. The Bolding sorts are in great demand, and, no doubt, will realise an ample compensation to the planters. The duty has still a downward tendency ; and £250,000 meets ;with a few backers, at evens. EDENBRIDGE, Oct. 6.—This week will bring the hop-picking to a close, and we shall have a good crop. The hops have kept their colour, and come down exceedingly well. The growth generally is over the estimate of good quality, and will be about 12 cwt. per acre. FRANT, Oct. 6.—The hop-picking is now brought to a close ; and the samples, both for colour and quality, are above the, average of years. Great care has been taken in the picking and curing ; and the weather has been suitable in every respect. The average growth will be about 13 cwt. per acre. and prices unremunerative. GOUDIIURST, Oct. 7.—Picking is, we believe, now completed ; and, speaking ,generalfy, the hops have maintained their colour well. About 12 or 13 cwt. the acre is at present thought to be the avcrage here. Can speak more confidently next week. Duty, £240,000. NORTHAM, Oct. 7.—We are now enabled to give the correct average of our growth of hops Fhich is 151 cwt. per acre, of 1,200 hills. Judging from what we saw of the hops before picking commenced, we should say but few parishes will yield so high an average as this. Many of our later samples were brown and diseased ; consequently, better prices will be obtained for bright, sound samples, which will be comparatively scarce. No, doubt the dealers and consumers will do their best to get the best samples at the present low prices ; let the growers be awake to this. Duty, £240,000. UDIMORE, Oct. 7.—We have now brought the, hop picking to a close. In some plantations the yield will be over a ton to the acre, and in some grounds much less. Taking the whole parish, it is probable that about 18 cwt. to the acre will be about the average. HALSTEAD, Oct. 7.—Picking concluded on the 30th ult. The growth of this parish and vicinity is about half-a-ton per acre ; the quality very good. —Sussex Express.

Capt. Snyder explained to them that he had come up to make peace with them —to punish those who had shot and robbed the whites, and, - as this tribe had not been engaged in the troubles, to merely give them notice that the white men - were in arms, and determined not to be further molested.; that whilst they would punish those who ( F.d wrong, in return he would guarantee that on a white man's molesting them he should be likew' ise punished, on their informing him or any of the miners.

The reports from all the bars below here were highly encouraging ; at Hill's, Texas, and one or two other bars, the amounts taken out have varied from 10 dols. to 90 dols. to the man. On Hill's Bar they took out on last Friday 723 ozs., as I am informed by Mr.' Ballou, of the Express, and this he believes was short of the total amount. This was the product of about 150 rockers. At - Texas Bar the sluices are paying largely. Above here all who were - at work were 'doing well. On most of the bars'the - water is i-et too high to work to advantage. Dry dig g i ngs have been discovered about eight miles from here;_on the east side of the river. Some parties st7: - _-:ed over there up the ravines on Friday. last, and on their return re ported that they had found the colour, and goad prospects at that, on every hill, and at last struck good digging& They showed me 3 dols. 62c., the product of .24 pans. The gold was coarse, - with quartz intermixed, and 'was a fair specimen of placer gold. - It . .created quite a sensation-when exhibited in Ballou's Express-office here, and though it was not found out exactly where it came from, the place 'is known. In fact, I know that in a short time dry diggings will be found— and rich ones,. too—within ten miles, all r.round here. I bought the gold, and shall send it to San Francisco, as the first gold that has been found off the river. From Messrs. Cahnels and Moran, who were of a party of 14 who went up the Harrison river route, I learn that there. ere about 250 men mining above the Forks. Th: water was high. Some 40 head of cattle had come into Fort Dallas, at the Forks, beef from which was selling at 50c. per pound; and yesterday I learned that a party of sonic 300, with cattle and horses, had arrived at the Forks from Oregon. On all the bars below the Canon the miners were doing well, many making as high as three ounces per day, many not making more than 7 dols. or 8 dols. Fort Hope, Aug. 21. I left Victoria on Wednesday morning at seven o'clock. No provision being made on the Otter for breakfast or dinner, passengers should provide themselves accordingly. At two p.m. we trans ferred ourselves and our freight on board the Uma tilla. Having a great many goods for the trail cutters, we did not cast off until near sunset. Could not enter the river until morning. There . being between 56 and 60 passengers, we spread ourselves and slept comfortably, although the floor (our bed) was rather crowded. Two meals per diem were furnished at one dollar each, and they were really good, fresh beef, salmon, potatoes, tomatoes, &e. I should remark, en passant, that a little more atten tion to the wants of those on board would be pro perly appreciated. The Sea Bird is nearly r:ady for launching. The reports which may reach you of dead bodies found floating down the river are true. On Murderer's Bar (suggestive name!) there are about a dozen substantial log houses, and we saw the miners at work with cradl. —report says paying well. The river seems at a stand—neither falling nor rising. Many, very many, arc leaving, not so much discouraged as frightened. The Gc vernment must protect those from whom they exact the pay for so doing. Give the miners less pro mises and more safety. GOLD MINING IN VICTORIA. The old and- desultory mode of gold seeking in the colony of Victoria is fast giving way to more regular and scientific proceedings. The few years which have elapsed since the discovery of the pre cious metals have sufficed to clear off the surface deposits and those portions of gold which lay im mediatelybeloW them. Regular mining operations have now become necessary in order to extract the precious metal, and for such a state of things the old regulations of the miners have of course become totally inapplicable. The great success of the Chines mining copartnership, formed under very unfavour , abl9 circumstances and subjected to many unneees sar:y burdens consequent upon the state of the law, which not only liifitiill:dotpoerraetcioognns can b recognise butwasnl e conducted o ( a uceteerd tain extent opposed to suc h associations, has shown that regular with great profit. The old system of hunting for d l u vh n o sat h i a sf N a e ct m or a y d , e a u n p d and washing alluvbivaeillredeorrfitfatt. in and in fact, being giadu-' their minds to a life on the gold fields, a little capital to start with; are prepai a i l n i . d g a n 1 1 1 1 increasing aba 1 d abandoned d nu a m s i t N o -b b o e l t l ia le themselves to systematic . quartz crushing. .Ihat there is still much gold left among the ordinary. workings discovery there can be doubt, and the occasional such no of monster nuggets as that which was recently t urne d up , w ill a l wa y s k eep some miners si n ki ng and burrowing for them. But these great prizes are few, while the blanks drawn in the lottery arc many. The steady and certain profits of continued attention to quartz crushing have at tractions for those who rider a safe calculation to a risk, while the pursuit is not altogether destitute of the excitement of great and sudden gains. There have been some yields from quartz quite as surpris ing and satisfactory as the discovery of many of the exhibition nuggets. Starting from small beginnings, often a failure at first from the expensiveness and inefficiency of the machinery employed, quartz crushing is assuming daily greater dimensions, and promises completely to eclipse in its resets the achievements of former. years and. of, .common digging. It will add to the stability -of'fh-e. colony and confirm its reputation for . wealth ; for, as the quantity of auriferous quartz is practic all y inex haustible, not only will the annual yield be in creased, but it will be assured and made reliable. Great fluctuations in the amount of gold produced will be avoided, and the value of the yearly export will be sufficiently determined to be relied upon by commercial men with ,tolerable certainty. The legislature has at length recognised the change in the methods of working the gold fields that is tak ing place, and laws have been passed to regulate mining partnerships as -well as t o gran t l eases of sufficient ous land to jus tify }:he im pa i areas ana . of e ia,euertiloeni upon them of adequate 00 New Zealand Gazette. machinery.--.A.m,tralian ;aid, tree der" ;om trial 3f of .
