' Australia, even by isolated exertions—that there is no probability of the auriferous supply failing in either country, and that henceforward the operations will be conducted under the most Lvourable circumstances, and with every adjunct which skill and capital can provide, we may easily conceive what vast quantities will be brought to this country, particularly as all the gold collected through the agency of the different gold mining companies will be transmitted to bead-quarters for payment of the dividends. The state of affairs in California;and the manner in which the unexpected treasures contained in the soil and rocks in that country were brought to light, must be perfectly familiar to our readers. It may, however, he interesting to point out the mode in which 'he auriferous qualities of Australia were first ascer- Itined, as from the more recent date of the searches less is known on the subject. The early discoveries of gold in Australia, in the months of May and June last, were found in the alluvial soils, washed down from the vast chain of mountains called by Sir RODERICK DIURCHISON "the Great Australian Cordillera ;" and for a considerable period gold quartz remained undiscovered, although scientific men well knew that these deposits must ne cessarily have had their origin from the gold quartz in the mountains. This led to the exploration of that immense range which runs through the counties of Bathurst, Westmoreland, and Argyle, pursuing the same formation as that in which they were discovered in California. So far as we have been enabled to as certain from the information that has reached England, Mr. CHARLES LANGLEY, of Sydney, one of the sur veyors employed by the Colonial Government, was the first discoverer of gold quartz. It was found upon the ridges of land adjoining Lake Bathurst, small lake on the top of the mountains in the county of Argyle, about 150 miles from Sydney. It was in the first week of August last that Mr. LANGLEY, ac ccmpanied by his assistant, surveyed the property around the lake, and ascertained that in eight different parts about the lake the land abounded with gold quartz. This confidential report—which we believe is now in England—has been fully confirmed by the latest intelligence received per the Phoenician. It is, therefore, more than probable, that this email lake and its immediate neighbourhood will become the centre of a thickly inhabited district. From the dispatches of Messrs. DIBDIN, HILYARD, and JACK SON, who were " prospecting" on several occasions at the Mulwarre Ponds, close to the western side of Lake Bathurst, we find that they had made several trials, and in every instance without exception had succeded in finding gold. Gold has also been discovered at Goulburn, situate a few miles north of the lake ; as also at Braidwood, some miles to the south of it ; and from the indications and formations of the rock, there is no reason to doubt that it exists at least 100 miles more southward still. We have entered into these details to show the amount of bullion that may reasonably be expected from these auriferous districts, and in some degree to afford information to the companies, who may be sending out men and money to the Bathurst district, and also to indicate to the different boards of manage ment that which appears to be their imperative duty, not only so far as obtaining the best return for the capital invested, but in the no less important object of securing the welfare and prosperity of their employees. Two companies have already appeared before the public, one the Australian Freehold, which has got the whole of its capital paid up, and the other, the Lake Bathurst, both of which are situate on the eastern side of the lake, and adjoining each other. It is, however, stated that some English gen tlemen have purchased the whole of the land on the western side, which we believe will shortly be offered to the public. The parties who have so important a trust confided to their charge should not act too hastily, or for the purpose of gratifying the clamorous de mands of those who do not seek permanent invest ments, but merely to stimulate the demands on the Stock Exchange. Their objeot should be an amalgamation of the diff eren t compan i es, so as to form one importa n t association, acting und er th e guidance of the most scientific men, and prepared with the best possible machines that can be obtained for conducting their operations. There is this im portant, and, we believe, peculiar feature in the pre sent case. All the lands surrounding the lake were granted by the Crown without any reservation of royalties. The companies have thus the entire free hold in their own hands. The main Government road from Sydney passes through the land on the eastern side of the lake, and close to the southern corner of it. The directors of an united company can thus, with the large capital at their disposal, beyond any that can be required for working she mines, erect suitable residences on their own es tates, so as to form a town on the main road, with all the comforts and conveniencies of a well-cultivated district. There are, we believe, already many houses an d buildings on these lands which should be at once fitted up and rendered comfortable for the workmen, for it is one of the chief duties of directors to look not only to the magnitude of the dividend, but also to the comfort and happiness of those who will be the instruments of procuring wealth. The advantages of a contented and happy population cannot be too highly appreciated. We should, there fare, suggest that great care should in every case be exercised in selecting young married men of unim peachable characters for morality, industry, and in tegrity ; and that the other companies should act on the wise and benevolent principle adopted by the Australian Freehold Company, of setting apart a par tion of their shares for the benefit of the miners, and thus giving them a direct interest in the prosperity o the undertaking. 40 le f illp k ‘f.

Against a standing army prejudices of a very formidable cha racter have long been entertained. Not so with re gard to the question of a standing navy, that most ob. viously desirable weapon of strength to an insular power like Great Britain. Hitherto, instead of cherishing the maritime department of the pub lic service, our administrators have apparently been seizing every opportunity that has pre sented i self for its decrease in magnitude and its general deterioration. Peace has been pre pesterously advanced as the excuse for these rash and ill-advised proceedings; and the blundering mis management of affairs at the Admiralty has not elicited, in every instance, the requisite interposition of the Legislature. Meanwhile the Quixotic advo cates of arbitration have been clamouring noisily in behalf of a yet further diminution of our land and sea forces ; so that but for the recent agitation about a possible descent upon our coasts by the French, or some other adventurous race from the continent, there would have been danger of a still more extravagant aban donment of our position as the custodians of a liberal and independent Constitution. Seeing that the peril of any such melancholy course being adopted has disappeared almost entirely by reason of the recent panic about an invasion, we can scarcely induce our selves to regard that panic otherwise than with feel ings of absolute satisfaction. To it we trust the country may be indebted in the end to the abandonment of that preposterous do-nothing system which has permitted the two war like professions to retrograde in lieu of advanc ing, as they should have done, with the march of scientific improvement. As evidence that such is likely to be the case, we need only direct attention to the sudden detection of the various requirements both of our military and naval departments in the way of their general accoutrements and also of their general organization. Startled by the tocsin sounded by the alarmists, we have already discovered the vast ness of the room for improvement apparent in both directions. On this account it is that the public jour nals have been filled of late with allusions to the needle gun, and COLT'S revolvers, and the rifle em ployed by the Chasseurs de Vincennes—weapons of the deadliest power when contrasted with our old and obsolete muskets, pistols, and howitzers. Aware of the deficiencies existing in oar army, it is but reasonable that we should simultaneously become conscious of the need of some more sedulous attention being paid by the authorities to the conduct and extension of our marine armaments. Every where in the navy of England—shrink though we may from the confession—there is oppor tunity for very considerable improvement. Not that we would for an instant allow ourselves to be numbered amongst the ranks of those who speak depreciatingly of the capacities of our maritime power. Tae opinions entertained by us upon this matter we believe are sufficiently familiar to those who are in any degree acquainted with the policy we have long advocated. Our estimate of the strength concentrated in the naval force of these islands is of a character such as could not but be satis factory to the most confident admirers of the profes sion. The magnificent compliment paid to this the right arm of England by the Emperor NAPOLEON himself on the field yet smoking from his great vic tory of Austerlitz, and upon the occa.ion of his re ceiving intelligence of the terrible battle which Eng land bad dearly purchased at Trafalg4r by the death of her glorious NELSON—might be repeated, we believe, in these our days without any degree of by berbole or exaggeration. Yet, while we are ready to admit as much, we are also equally satisfied that the maritime arma ments are still capable of receiving a very extraordi- n try amount of improvement. The tardy adoption of the course advocated by ourselves in these columns now, during many years past, has only within the last few months illustrated i❑ a remarkable manner the capability of still further developing the vitality which has all along existed in the heart of our naval department. The al lusion here made is obviously to the em ployment of the screw worked by steam power in the larger vessels of war, building or projected. Happily the screw has at length been recognised as the most rational application of steam yet contrived, and as the one most securely protected from shot, being not only below water mark but central in its situation. Having at length discovered these facts —facts proclaimed again and again by ourselves at a time when they were elsewhere treated with almost universal derision the authorities at the Admiralty have finally set on foot a sys tem which must ultimately lead to the empl )ynaent of the screw throughout a very large proportion, if not at least throughout the whole number, of the vessels composing the Royal Navy of England. Then, but not till then, may we exult in the belief that every reasonable effort has been made to develope to the uttermost that (the national) service of Great Britain —that service the noblest of all the early organizations of which con fers an expiatory glory upon the name of King JA➢iES the SECOND, a monarch who, by the splendour of his msritime victories, and by the magnificet.ce of the chang. , s in the way of improvement introduced by him into the whole policy and system of the Admi- --- The unfortunate dispute between the operative engineers and their employers still continues, and unfortunately there is no greater prospect of an ami cable arrangement than there had been some weeks since, but the breach is becoming wider day by day. The non-combatants, viz, the men not belonging to the Amalgamated Society, and the " unskilled labourers" are the chief sufferers. They are deprived of employment, although they made no improper demand, and their condition is the more deplorable, inasmuch as, not anticipating any contest, they are unprovided with the sinews of - .411.- war.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur announces that the PRESIDENT has received an answer from the King of the NETHER LANDS to the notification respecting the new powers conferred on him by the French nation. The letter was presented by Baron FAGEL. M. CAMBACERES, ex-prefect, has been appointed Secretary-General of the Minister of General Police. BALAUD and TONNET, ex- prefects, have been appointed Directors -General at the Ministry of Police, 'sod nine In spectors-General have been appointed to Paris, Lyons, and seven other of the principal cities. A decree defines the nine districts of the department of the Seine for the elections of the Legislative corps. The Moniteur also contains the costume regula tions regarding senators and councillors of state. The senators are to wear blue velvet coats richly embroidered; the councillors of state, light blue coats, white waistcoats, white cassimere breeches, hat and feathers, with plenty of gold embroidery. The Bulletin de Paris states that the PRESIDENT of the Republic is about to appoint four new aides-de camp, among whom are mentioned Generals DE MONTEBELLO and DE COTTE. General DE CASTELLANE, Commander. in- Chief of the Army of Lyons, has arri ve d i n P ar i s , w h ere he will remain for two or three days. The Moniteur du Loiret states that the Govern ment candidates in that department for the legislative body are M. LACAVE, mayor of Orleans, and Al. MACDONALD Duke de Tare s te. The C onstitiutionnel continues its task of contra dicting ru mours which are of a nature, if credited, to p reven t confidence a s t o th e i ntent i ons o f the Go vernment, say s : Does a ny 2 cost—that knoww t_ a th ot a: o act what the ve coup societyd 'e taat anti Decemberwhichsad civilization? The exact amount is stated in M. Fould's report, n amely, ..., 500,000 f., of which 300,000 E were for supplementary credits from the secret police fund, and 200,000 f, for damage done to property. Can such a sum be considered too much to pay for all the benefits which the country has derived from that act of vigour? It is true that the salary of the Councillors of State has been augmented, that pensions are to be paid to some of the ' en at°re, and that a dotation must be allowed to the President of the Republic in proportion with the dignity of bis rank, and considerable enough to allow him to exercise his generosity on a scale suitable to th e h ea d of the State. But it ought not to be forgotten that the new Constitution does away with the large sum of won. y paid to the members of the Legislative Assembly, amounting to between seven and eight millions 8-year, and that such economy will be a compensation for the new expenses. There will be this advantage in the change, that the suers allowed will receive a desti nation infinitely more favourable to the arts and com merce than did the 25f. a day of the representatives, which certainly were not employed to encourage manu factures connected with luxury, but served to a con siderable extent to afford aid to the factions in France and in foreign countries. With regard to the several credits opened since December 2, if any one passes them in review, he will find that they were, almost every one, comprised in the provisions of the Govern ment communicated to the committee on the budget. The most considerable are for the improvement of the mouths of the Seine and of the Rhone, and for various public works, all of which had received the approbation of the committee on the budget and been favourably reported on in the Assembly. The con ces,ion of the Lyons to Avignon Railway had been al ready voted in the Assembly, and the effect of the events of December 2 was to reduce the subvention from 60 millions to 49, thus g i v i ng 11 millions to the treasury. In the same way, the concession of the Paris to Lyons Railway has brought in 110 millions to the each, quer. It is thus seen that the rumours in circulation have no foundation, as the budget I.( mains as it. was, no decree having been published which could disarrange its eco• nomy. Bat what is worthy of remark is the notable increase which has take n place in the receipts since the restoration of order. The general revival of business has led to a proportionate increase in the indirect taxes. We hope to be soon able to state what has been the improvement in the public revenue during the month of January." ' The improvement which declared itself at the Bourse made further progress. The Five per Cents. opened at 103 f. 35c.., rose to 103 f. 600., and closed at 103 f. 550. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents, closed at 65f. 30c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,122 f. 50c; Ro uen , 660 f.; Havre, 262 f. 50c.; Great Northern, 573 f. 75c.; Avignon, 225 f.; Vierzun, 511 E 25c.; Basle, 210", ; Bor deaux, 4361. 25c.; Paris and BErasburgb, 4671. 50 c . ; Tours and Nantes, 297 r. 50c.; Amiens to Boulogne, 298 f. 75c.; Paris and Lyons, 580 f.

The mail from Constantinople of the 25th ult. brings the following intelligence :—On the 26th RESCHID PACHA resigned his functions of Grand Vizier, and W2B replaced by REOUF PACHA. M. DE LLVALETTE, the French ambassador, immediately sent a steamer to overtake the packet which had left on the 25th. No detail has reached us as to the situ ation of the other members of the Cabinet. REOUF PACUA 94 years of age; he has been sevural times Grand Vizier, and does not belong to the retrograde party. PRINCESS'S THEATRE. King John was repeated last evening to a densely crow dcd house, and fully sustained the unprecedented impression created on Monday last. The pantomime, with its incomparable clown and admirable harlequin, goes merrily or. In consequence of the indisposition of Mio3 Leclercq, to whom we wish a speedy recovery and re-appearance, the part of columbine has been filled, and that creditably, by Miss Desborough, for some evenings past. MARYLEBONE THEATRE. The veteran Tom Mathews takes his bero-fit this even. ing, when, of course, the house will he filled to ov(r. flowing. The present is tho seventh and last week the successful panwrnitnP of Sir John Barleycorn. VICTORIA THEATRE. The melodrama of The TVhite Hoods, rich in deadly combats and tremendous situations, continues to rejoice the souls of the goodly company who frequent this theatre. The pantomime is really very good. Paul Herring, a clever legitimate clown, nest to Flexmore and Tom Matthews, the hest on the motropolitan boards. REUNION DES ARTS. We had great pl, ague in at tentiing ihe last soiree of the winter season of this aominble society last nign,, at Queen Anne street. It was crowded almost incons , - niently with a very elegant and fashionable company. The first part opened with Mendelssohn's trio, charm ingly executed by Messrs. Parker, Goffrie, and Goodban, followed by a song, "Li Manola," sung in pure and spirited voice by Miss Magner; after which Mendelssohn's Andante and Rondo, played with exqui-ite taste by Madame Goffrie; succeeded by Madame Lemair's most delightful song. Benedict and de Beriot's " Net dulce in canto," sung with her usual vivacity, eliciting enthusi astic applause. It was followed by the Misses Macal pine in Pazini's duet, also warmly applauded. The first part terminated with Mozart's Quartett, most masterly exected by Messrs. Goffrie, Goodban, Schmiet and Boose. The second part opened with solo on piano, " Thalberg's Sounambula," played most delicately and with the most perfect execution, by a young but pro mising artist, Mr. Floss. " Dee del Lago" next fol lowed, sang most sweetly by Miss Mary Rose, who, Mr. Goffric, in a solo, " Rondo Russe," by d e tieriot, was rapturously applauded. Masit3r Henry Warne played a solo on the piano, evincing great talent, and the evening's entertainment concluded with a song by Miss Blanch Young. The lower apartments were orna mented by Mr. T. Jansen's pictures. Mr. Detkens, the honorary secretary, in announcing that the next series of the soirees would commence at the end of April next, and returning his sincere thanks to the members and visitors on the part of the directors and committee for their kind support, begged to state that their (the direc tors') benefit would take place on Friday, Feb. 20. The evening ended with great eclat, at a very late hour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE FYLDE (KIRKHAM) STEEPLE CHASES. WEDNESDAY.

The Madrul Gazette of the 6rb publishes a pro clamation trom the Governor of Madrid, in which he notices a rumour that the p o p u l ace, i n t h e i r indigna tion against the priest LklEttism, who had attempted to assassinateQUEEN, int en d e d to ta k e h i m from t h e bands O f the justice and excute him with their own hands.

The same journal gives details of the conduct of Martrao sin ce hi s arrest. It appears t h at he had behaved in the most insulting manner to the authoriries in the morning of the sth, and had even attempted to strike the alcalde, who was consequently compelled to treat him with great severity. The re gicide refused all food throughout' the day, except a cup of broth and some biscuits. During the ceremony of his degradation from the priesthood he displayed the greatest coolness, and when he was taken to the chapel, which was at three P.M., he was as calm as usual. Two priests accompani,d him thither, and stayed to discuss matters of faith w i t h hi m ; h e li s t en ed to them with attention, and took advantage of every opportunity of entering into an argument with them, speaking with as much freedom as if he were in an academy. After he h a d b een in the chapel some time he expressed a wish to make his will: whereupon a notary was sent for, w h o made h i s appearance, with three of his colleag ues as witnesses. T he cu l prit directed in bia will that the verbal instructions he bad given to Senor DOD LORENZO ARRAZOLA, Pre sident of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, should be fulfilled, and that what remained of hia property after the fulfilment of those instructions should be given to his maid-servant, DOMINGA CASTELLANos.

CROMPTON TO THE BENCH.-- e—si:Eavhteetreas several elevation the office of assessor of the Passage Court here, which has been rendered vacant by Mr. Croolpton's elevation. In the town council this morning there' as an animated discussion es to the steps to be taken by the council in appointing Mr. Crompton's successor. It appears that the appointment rests with the Crown, but as the council pay the salary they claim a right to nominate. Amongst other candidates for the vacant office is ihe borough recorder, and as the duties of assessor are very light, occupying only four weeks in the year, for which a salary of five hundred guineas is paid, it is urged by several members of the council that the two offices of recorder and assessor might be com bined, and thus relieve the corporate purse. It has been rumoured that the Lord Chancellor has already nominated his son-in-law, and this has given rise to much dissatis faction in certain circles •in Liverpool. After a somewhat warns discussion in the council, it was intimated that Mr. Crompton's official resignation had not yet been received. Ultimately, tae council agreed not to take any initiative steps, but it is understood that when the vacancy is cflicially announced (which must be in a day or two), a Special council will be called.-21Iorning Post. LH promotion were to go by merit, or the app‘intment of a successor to Mr. Crompton were made on the grounds of long service, unblemished integrity, and universally ac knowledged capacity, then a most worthy gentlemae would be selected in the person of Mr. Edward James, the senior and leading counsel of the bar at Liverpool. But if family connexion is to override merit, then, indeed, the good people of Liverpool must put up with what they get and pay into the the bargain. When will real justice be dealt out to to placein de rerving ?—perhaps when a thorough reform takes the Court of Chancery ; and when may that .be? Not in our day—if over.—ED.
