In several of the wards contests are expected to take place, the grounds of opposition being either dissatisfac tion with the old members, or from vacancies created by retirements, deaths, &c. Iu the latter case severe candidates are in the field for most of the vacancies. The following statement shows the old members, distin guishing those who again offer themselves, those whO retire, and the new candidates : ALDERSGATE WARD.—Returns 8. Alderman—Sir PETER LAURIE, Knt. [PRICE 5D . THE AUSTRALIAN GOLD-FIELDS. We have received Victoria papers of the 7th of Sep tember, announcing the discovery of two fresh gold-fields on the Anaki-hills and in the Forest Creek district. The Anaki-hill field has been found by the agents of the Exploration Company ; its yield has as yet been merely middling, worked as it was by agents for the purpose of testing its qualities rather than making a profit from the result of their labours. The locality has been entered into the local maps under the name of the "Sharp's Run" Diggings. The second newly-discovered "placer," the "Daisy-hill," is about 30 miles from Forest Creek, on the main line of road from Adelaide to Mount Alex- COMMON COUNCILMEN.-Mr. Lorkin (deputy), Mr. Godson, Mr. Wood, Mr. Norris, Mr. De Jersey, Mr. Woodward, Mr. Chaplin. Mr. Deputy Stacey retires, and Mr. J. Ward comes forward as a candidate for the vacancy. • ALDGATE WARD.—Returns 8. Aderman—JoHN HUMPHERY, Esq. COMMON COUNCILMEN.-Mr. James Lake (deputy) Mr. Edward Fisher, Mr. R. B. Whiteside, Mr. A. Freeman, Mr. J. Turnley, Mr. R. C. Bucknall, Mr. R. Osmond, and Mr. Burnell. The above offer themselves for re-election, but papers have been issued to the electors, calling upon them to reserve their votes, but as yet no new candidate has appeared. ander and Bendigo. These diggings are situated on a "blind creek" connected with one of the branches of the Deep Creek, exactly where, about four years ago, a heavy lump of gold was picked up. The whole surround ing district to the extent of some miles is strongly im- pregnated with gold, and it is supposed that there must be a number of valuable "pockets," which will make BASSISHAW WARD.—Returns 4. Alderman—Thomas FARNCOMB, Esq. the fortunes of those who are lucky enough to pick them, The Daisy-hill Diggings have within tiie first days of their existence attracted a population of about 100 miners, chiefly Adelaide men, who stopped on their way to Mount Alexander. The richness of the soil has in a great measure indemnified these novices for their want of skill and mining experience. Many of them made three pounds weight (1361.) and more in a week, and nuggets of from 5 ounces to 8 ounces, varying in shape from that of a bean to that of a bent and defaced shil ling, have been frequently shown to the correspondent of the Melbourne Argus. This will consequently attract vast numbers of miners., as soon as their fame has had time to spread. The discovery of a large and rich gold field at Bingara, too, is again confirmed by the latest advices. This is a fact of incalculable importance, be cause it demonstrates the existence of auriferous strata in a northerly direction. And lastly, what hitherto has been but vaguely reported and extensively doubted is now announced as a positive fact : a gold-field has been discovered within eighteen miles of Adelaide, South Australia. It may not perhaps prove equal to Mount Alexander or Ballarat, but it appears, upon competent authority, to be at all events remunerative. It is now proved by actual events that a vast belt of highly auri ferous land extends across the Australian continent, from the Victoria gold-fields to those of Bathurst and its neighbourhood, and thence to the banks of the Hunter and the back of Moreton Bay—a belt of land of hundreds of miles in length and of unknown width. And the more marvellous circumstance is, Cozy .zone COUNCILMEN.—Mr. J. Britton (deputy), Mr. Lister, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Fuller. Mr. Hyde Clarke and Mr. Locke have also announced themselves as candidates. BILLINGSGATE WARD—Returns 8. Alderman—THOMAS SIDNEY, Esq. COMMON COUNCILMEN.—Mr. B. Bower (deputy), Mr: J. Knill, Mr. J. Roberts, Mr. It. M. Phillips, Mr. W. Williams, Mr. W. G. Barnes, Mr. J. Causton, and Mr. G. C. Graves. No change in this ward. BISHOPSGATE WARD—Returns 14. Alderman—W. T. COMAND, Esq. COMMON COUNCILMEN.-Mr. W. A. Peacock (deputy), Mr. W. Stevens (deputy), Mr. T. S. Priden, Mr. R. C. Lambe, Mr. H. Patten, Mr. W. Jones, Mr. J. Warren, Mr. M. B opgood, Mr. W. H. Pileher, Mr. J. R. Carr, Mr. It. Ashby, Mr. J. Taylor, Mr. C. Gilpin, and Mr. J. Hall. Mr. Hall retires, and Mr. It. Howell and Mr. J. C. Edmiston have come forward for the vacancy, but it is expected that Mr. Howell will not go to the poll. BREAD-STREET WARD.—Returns 8. Alderman—WlLLlAM LAWRENCE, Esq. COMMON COUNCILMEN.-Mr. J. S. Budge (deputy), Mr. J. P. Snell, Mr. D. Laurie, Mr. W. Hautrey, Mr. F. Maynard, Mr. W. Patten, Mr. J. J. Millard, and Mr. N. Maughan. No change or contest expected in this ward. _ that even _ the older diggings, and those which . have been most worked, yield surprising quantities of gold to every set of fresh miners, or After every change of the mode and manner of " digging" or "washing" the "dirt." Ophir was thought exhaused, but still we hear of an old man and a boy who worked there for nine months, and cleared 5701., after paying all expenses. At Braidwood parties are mentioned making 100 ounces— that is to say, above 3001. in one week, and 17 ounces in one day. At t > Dirtholes and Tambaroora the quartz claims are being worked with Mexican crushers. We know nothing of the financial result of the under taking except that "it pays well," whatever that may mean. There are fresh diggings in an old locality near the Sheep-station Point on the Turon. Rich diggings have been mentioned in former papers, and are again mentioned at Moss Mark's-bill, near Goulburn, and at Koranong, near Picton. The fiat between Adelaide Gully and Wattle Tree Flat, in the Forest Creek dis trict, where, as we mentioned in a former report, four Adelaide men dug out 150 pounds weight of pure gold between breakfast and dinner, has subsequently sustained its reputation by finds of 9, 12, and 20 pounds weight in a day. It was confidently expected that 500 tons of gold would be taken from the Fore - ,t and Friar's Creek districts. The most fortunate of diggers are undoubtedly the Adelaide men, chiefly because a great many of them learnt the art and mystery of mining in the South Aus tralian copper mines. 196 pounds of gold were taken by an Adelaide party of three at Pegley Gully, Bendigo, and 70 pounds weight at New Bendigo Flat, Forest Creek ; 16 pounds weight in Spring Flat, Forest Creek, and 70 pounds weight in the lower part of Friar's Creek, all by about 20 Adelaide men, who netted 30,0001. in less than a fortnight ! For the future these Adelaide miners will probably exert their skill and ingenuity on the mineral treasures of their own province ; for we see that a great many vessels were announced as leaving Melbourne for the Adelaide diggings, South Australia. Large quantities of gold arrived in Melbourne within the first days of September, and 400,0001. of specie were imported into the colony in the last week of August and the first week of September. The Government escort from Ballarat brought to Melbourne and Geelong on the .ith of September, 4,627 ounces ; and on the 6th the Victoria Escort Company _brought 33,805 ounces— making a total of 38,433 ounces. The most brilliant test of the continuity of the yield of the two great gold-fields of Mount Alexander and Ballarat is given in a series of escort returns published in the Melbourne Argus, embracing the period from October, 1851, to the end of August, 1852. The follow ing are the totals :—October (1851), 18,482 ounces ; No vember, 60,878 ounces; December, 169,684 ounces ; January, (1852), 107,216 minces ; February, 111,778 ounces ; March, 122,778 ounces ; April, 135,112 ounces ; May, 138,906 ounces ; June, 162,990 ounces ; July, 353,182 ounces ; and August, 350,968 ounces ; making, with the addition of an odd 40,000 ounces from some smaller places, an enormous total of 1,771,974 ounces, or between 73 and 74 tons of gold. Of course this state ment relates only to part of the fabulous yield of the Victoria goldfields. The following table will perhaps come near the actual yield : BRIDGE WARD.—Returns 8.

These labourers working without either plan or concert. " Science," says the Argus, "has done little or nothing for us. Our processes in obtaining gold are of the rudest nature. The search is characterised almost solely by what the sailors sheer strength and stupidity.' " And it adds, that in all probability neither all the gold mines, nor the richest land which Australia contains have been discovered, and that results which it would now appear madness to mention in detail, will certainly be obtained whenever concerted and systematic action, supported with all the advantages of science and mecha nical skill, shall be brought to bear on the boundless resources of our Australian gold-fields. 4,283 immigrants arrived in the colony in the first week of September, and the labour-market was conse quently well supplied ; but, as the demand was nearly equal to the supply, wages did not change materially. Married couples were still engaged at 501. without, and 551. to 601. with family, which shows that in another hemisphere children are a source of income, while with us they are expensive. Shepherds and hutkeepers could get 301. ; general servants, carmen, and gardeners, 50/. ; cooks, bush carpenters, and grooms, 601. ; blacksmiths ' 601. to 701. per annum ; agricultural labourers, 11 . to 1/. ss. per week—all including rations. Compositors were paid at the rate of is. 9d. per thousand, and press men received 4/. per week. Seamen received 501. for the voyage to England, and in the coasting trade 71. to 8/. per month was the usual price. The wages of house maids, laundresses, nursemaids, and cooks, averaged from 201. to 361. per annum. The Melbourne prices of provisions were high. A four-pound loaf sold at 16d. ; beef and mutton at 4d. per pound ; veal, Bd. ; pork, is. ; butter, 2s. 6d. ; cheese, 2s. ; eggs, ss. per dozen ; ham and bacon, 2s. ; pota toes, 12s. per cwt. ; coals, Si. per ton ; water, 3s. per hogshead. The prices at the diggings were higher in some places and lower in others, but "rations" gene rally were looking up. The social condition of Victoria is still repre sented as deplorable in the extreme. Society has been tainted with the refuse of the English gaols. Of the Government it is stated in very strong terms that it wants perseverance, energy, and wisdom, and that its " laxity, parsimony, and absolute imbecility," have done the colony incalculable harm. Crimes of the most fearful character and degree abound on all sides, the country i s overrun with bushrangers, and the towns are infested with burglars. In broad daylight and in the most public streets, men have been knocked down, illused, and robbed. Shops have been invaded by armed ruffians , who have " stuck up ' the inmates and rifled the premises. Thieves appear so thick upon the ground, an d so unceasing in their opera tions, that it is quite clear they must often rob one an other. Murders are numerous, and remain almost always unpunished. The police are cowed or leagued with the ruffians, and the administration of the law is fast sinking into contempt. Next to an efficient police force, an importation of fe male servants is urgently wanted in Victoria. Ladies must do their own household work, or be exposed to the double annoyance of paying high wages and having t o put up with a great deal of incompetence. Men have flocked into the colony by . thousands, but the women of England have been less migratory, and, as success f u l di gger s usually get married as fast as circumstances per mit, the few women who arrive are usually soon removed from servitude and placed at the head o f some roug h establishment at the diggings or in the bush. We are assured that the splendour of a digger's wedding is some. times rather startling. Young Irish orphan girls, who scarcely knew the luxury of a shoe until they put their bare feet on the soil of Victoria, lavish money in white satin at 10s. or 12s. a yard for their bridal dresses, and flaunt out of the shop slamming the door, because the unfortunate storekeeper does not keep the real shawls at 10 guineas a piece I What a blessing for our London shopkeepers if they could but catch such customers I COMMON COUNCILMEN. - Mr. H.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout In my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Front, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., Fec., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

It is intended to construct a Railway between Goealming and Havant, 32 miles in length, to afford a more direct and a cheaper communication between London and Portsmouth, as wee as Railway accommodation generally to the large extent of unopened country through which it will pass. The deposit of plans and sections, and all other necessary steps, have been taken with a view to an application for an Act of Incor poration during the present Session of Parliament. The line will commence at the end of the Godalming Branch of the South-Western Railway, and will pass the towns of Godalming. Haslemere, and Peters&ld, and generally following the route of the Direct Portsmouth Railway as sanctioned by Parliament in 1546, to Havant, it will there unite with the Coast Line of the Brighton Corn eany, and the Fareham Extension Line of the South-Western Com pany, and proceed thence directly to the town and harbour of Ports mouth. The landowners and others locally interested in the district have concurred in promoting this measure., and have, to the extent of nearly three-fourths of the length of the line, signed agreements for the sale of their land at its mere agricultural value, and in several instances have agreed to take the company's shares in payment. The connexion with the South-Eastern Railway, near Godalming, will secure to the preposed line the advantage of a second entrance into and exit from London, the one to the west end, and the other to the heart of the City, establishing by the same means also a direct communication, and with a great saving in distance, between the metropolis, Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, Reigate, and the South-eastern Line generally, and Guildford, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, as well as with all the intervening country. The line will effect all the objects contemplated by the Direct Portsmouth Act of 1846, but at the reduced cost of 400,0001. now, instead of 1,500,0 0 0/. then required. It has been also further greatly improved by a late survey made under the directions of Messrs. Locke and Errington, by which it will not only be materially shortened, but three out of the four most serious and highly objectionable tunnels in the former plans have been entirely got rid of in the present, and the fourth, near Peters field, reduced to one-third its length. To avoid all risk and uncertainty, however, on these essential points, the promoters have entered into a provisional contract with perfectly responsible parties, for the completion of the entire line from Godalming to Havant, for the extremely moderate sum of 372,0001., or 12,0001. per mile, including the cost of land, rails, sta tions, and all other necessaries, excepting only the locomotive plant; and further, the same parties have come under a formal and binding engagement to take a lease, if required, of the line when completed, for the first five years, at a net minimum rental of 4 per cent. per annum, with one-half of the profits beyond that amount. Parliament having already, in 1846, sanctioned this line now pro posed to he constructed, its promoters cannot believe that any se rious or effective opposition can be again offered to it. To sum up, , it may be safely asserted that the undertaking holds out advantages to subscribers and the public generally that have rarely yet been offered by any other railway project, viz.: — It vr;11 afford the most direct. and by far the cheapest route be. tween London and Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, being the shorter by twenty-two miles than either ofthe two existing lines, and being contracted for at 12,0001. a mile, in lieu of about four times that a mount expended on the Brighton and South-Western li nes.it will have, through the South-eastern, from Godalming, a double entrance into London; from which it follows, almost as a matter of course, that it will command the entire traffic of the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth, on terms that, while highly remunerative to its pronrietary, must make competition on the part of its rivals hopeles=, if not impos I ble, Further, the whole cost of the entire works and material has been undertaken, by respectable contractors, for a specific and fixed sum ; thus freeing the calculations and estimates of the engineers from all doubt and uncertainty. And, finally, the Shareholders will have the power of accepting or not, at their option, the offer of a lease of the line when completed, for five years, at a minimum rate of 4 per cent. interest on their capital, with half the profits beyond, with the interim payment also of 4,per_cekt on the,aepos . it and calls aurillificrtiffigtfueurifrerrTherliite.• =.4i r oßtlio Act of Par liament not being* obtained the expenses wit be limited to 45. per share, and the balance will be rammed to the shareholders.

London, &c., &c. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists, The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few t e a qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies tore his important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity lating to the treatment of the diseases incidental gener a/ye system, and the means of immediate relief and to the ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these cases.

SHIPWRECK, WITH Loss OF LlFE.—Portland, Friday, Dec. 17.—This morning, shortly before one o'clock, a French barque, laden with arms, ammunition, clothing, spirits, wines, &c., struck upon the Portland beach, and in less then twenty minutes, the whole vessel was broken into fragments by the force of the waves. The wind had been blowing for the previous fourteen hours a perfect hurricane from the S.S.W., and the coast-guard at the Langton station having discovered the signals of distress, were on the spot when she struck, and were instrumental in saving eight persons out of the fifteen who composed her crew. The parties saved are the captain, the mate, the supercargo, cook, and four of the seamen. From these we learn that the barque was bound to the African coast, for the purpose of trading with the na tives. Up to four o'clock this afternoon, none of the bodies had been recovered. A few cases of goods have been washed ashore, but beyond this not a vestige of the unfortunate vessel is to be seen. r _ 1,6 _,~ ~~ 2 6 I)ecce.• leC• 2l ~,,.1 I ft" . ran. 4 'ark: Ea' sr " ;(1 10 " v ' pti., Es q., I tos , I-10 01 ‘' ridge' ao b l 3 6 r tIO Le o, 11• 16
