EAI I GRANTS' PROSPECTS.' The wide fields of the Earth's mighty surtace are peopling buitth English emigrants in search o employment and compotenc t Y : lio ns the great distance between England's shores and emigrant s . a v.:th, renders a suitable OLT r FIT the first suhject ,-, f consideration every emigrant. It is impossible for the emigrant to anticipate - " 4 t he will most need on his passage, or what will be most useful to I , .b a rn on arriving at his destination ; he should, therefore, apply to '''', MOSES and SON, who have for many years paid the strictest at- Z'mrition to the Outfitting Department, and are fully acquainted with e rY article require 4 by the emigrant to any country or climate. u e Prospects of emigrants are therefore rendered cheering by the .act, that every useful article in clothing for any emigrant station In tthe world can be obtai ne d at E. MOSES and SON'S on the shortest noice. Wh atever country the emi grant may choose, he must have money for the journey : the economical charges for Outfits at E. MOSES and SON'S leave the emigrant in possession of a sum in many in- Stances equal to the cost of his passage. The emigrant should never entertain the idea of furnishing himself With necessary articles in a foreign country ; that is frequently im possible, and when he is so unfortunate as to make the attempt, the articles are unsuitable, and charged enormous prices. Application to E. MOSES and SON obviates all these inconveniences, and fur nishes the emigrant with the prospect of comfort at a small cost. Whatever may be the emigrant's propects in referen:e to his future occupation, E. MOSE and SON can always supply him with suit for any business ha able dress may intend to follow, at littl e more than half the price he might p ay for inferior articles elsewh ere E.

APRIL 9 ) 1852. LONDON, FRIDAY r-Ps. r • 7 (From the Melbourne Argus of December 20.) Several vessels are likely to sail for England within these few days, and the crack qualities of one of them render it probable that she may be the first ship that reaches home with a portion of the golden harvest that is at present pouring in upon us. Late advices from England have shown the eager ness with which authentic intelligence with respect to the new discovery is seized upon and made to fur nish the topic of the day; and, as the astonishing yield of our own gold fields is calculated nearly to eclipse all other discoveries of a similar nature in other parts of the world, we think it an act of duty just prior to the sailing of the vessels we have spoken of to throw together such few facts as are calculated to enable the good folks at home to form a more accurate impres sion of the real state of matters here than they would be likely to arrive at by more scattered or desultory notices. On the 19th of last month we published a state ment of the estimated amount of gold which had then seen the light of day, derived from the various dig gings in this colony. That statement was as fol -1115 Total ...N.201,000 This estimate was as carefully compiled as circum stances would admit of. The amount held by the banks was exact to a few ounces. The quantity es timated to remain in the hands of private parties in the towns, on the gold-fields, and on the roads towards town, was stated to rest solely upon conjecture, but as carefully estimated as reference to very well-in formed and disinterested parties could make it. The increasing arrivals, weekly, by the Govern ment escort, soon showed us, however, that our desire to be rather below than above the mark had led us to estimate the latter quantities far too low ; and the rush of gold which has since been poured upon the market quite baffles all ordinary rules of calculation. On Wednesday, 19th of November, the very day the above calculation was published, the weekly es cort brought down from Mount Alexander 6,486 ounces; from Ballarat, 2,117 ounces, 619 ounces for Geelong, and 916 ounces for Government ; making a total of 10,138 ounces. On the following Wednesday 10,428 ounces ar rived from Mount Alexander, 1,500 ounces from Ballarat, and 17e ounces were left at Geelong ; making a total of 12,106 ounces ; 10081bs., or rather more than half a ton. The next Wednesday brought 13,783 ounces from Mount Alexander, 2,550 ounces from Ballarat, and 336 ounces for Geelong ; a total of 16,669 ounces, or 1,3891b5. weight. But still this astonishing yield went on increasing, and on the following Wednesday the cart conveying the enormous treasure fairly broke down with its load, and the escort did not arrive till the day after its time. That week's yield was, from Mount Alexan der 23,750 ounces, from Ballarat 2,224 ounces, for Geelong 682, making the astounding sum of 26,656 ounces, or 1 ton 221 pounds 4 ounces. This was the largest return for any one week by escort ; as this week the diggers are flocking down to town to enjoy their Christmas, and are bringing their gold with them in preference to entrusting it to the escort conveyance. The amount conveyed by that means, therefore, is, from Mount Alexander 18,191 ounces, from Ballarat 1,018 ounces, 283 ounces for Geelong ; total 19,492 ounces, 1,6241b5., or a trifle over three-quarters of a ton. Thus far we speak of facts, unchallenged and un challengeable. These quantities have all passed through the hands of the Government escort, and a regular register has, of course, been kept of every ounce received and delivered. But if these reports of tops upon tons of the root of all evil be still insuffi cient for the insatiate maw of any of our English Mammon-worshippers, we beg to tell them that we have now to quit the beaten path of ascertained fact, anti in endeavouring to arrive at the whole truth we must again resort, in some degree, to conjecture. There is no means of ascertaining the precise propor tion_ of the gold found, which is sent to the markets of M3lbourne and Geelong by the Government rcaorg t e That mode of conveyance is unpopular. The b g u_a t r b a e ar g d : is excessive. The safety a of the gold is not The distance travelled is only 75 miles; d gers think rightly that a demand of one per ce nt. for such a service, and without a bsolute certainty of i s a constant natant and is an extravagant charge . T and very extensive traffic between almosth Theowns like an or rted the mines ; the road, in fact, being number of dinary street, with respect to passen gers and vehicles that very large sums passing back wards and for wards.

D one- P liold that the does not convey one-had, actual yield. There is no want of those w h o that the difference is still grea • i n matters of conjecture,t ail ;vbainshd Wbilst dealing to err upon the moderate side, iJ we err at having compared notes with many gentlemen likely to be well informed, we will venture to put down the BUMS which have arrived by :private hand in the course of the few weeks over which our remarks ex tend at one-third of that which has arrived by the escort. Many of our friends vt ill laugh at the mo deration of our estimate, but we have been laughed at before for our moderation, and shall doubtless sur vive it now. This calculation would give us 2 8 , 353 ounc es arrived by private hared w i t hi n t h e l as t five weeks. And now for a glance at the quAntity probably upon the ground at this moment, dug up and ready, as convenience offers, to be transmitted to the market. And once again we would repeal.; that any estimate is purely conjectural, And o 5 0 fig valuable as careful [PRICE BD. !inquiry, combined with perfect disinterestedness in the matter, can make it. We believe that the number of diggers now assembled at Mount Alexander and Ballarat is pot short of 20,000 to 30,000. We will take it at the smaller number. Scarcely a tent upon the ground is without gold in soms quantity. In very many it is well known that there are many pounds. - A respectable man, better calculated than any one we know to form an opinion, as having been amongst the diggers for several weeks, and being upon noun dential terms with every one of them, estimates the quantity now held by them at not less than five ounces per head for every man, woman, and child ; and our last estimate for a trifle less than two ounces per head, proved to be so much below the mark, that we think we are justified in at least doubling it, and making our calculations at four ounces per head to the 20,000 people on the ground, or a total of 80,000 ounces. We will now throw these various items together, in a general summary, again b egg i ng our rea d ers carefully to mark which portions are founded upon strict fact, and which only upon careful conjecture. The price upon which our calculations are founded is 3/. per ounce.

On the 29th September, the announcement of the first large yield in Victoria was made known, and since then wonders have daily thickened around us, and where it is to end no human being can guess. The field is reported to be illimitable, the indication of gold ex tending over scores of miles, and each last found diggings apparently eclipsing all before it. All ac counts agree that the auriferous grounds which can be profitably worked will never be dug over for years to come, by any number of people that can by possibility reach them. To the good people of Great Britain we commit the consideration of these statements. We beg to remind them, that even before this discovery burst upon us, this was one of the finest and most prosperous of British col on i es . L et the gold fields cease- their yield to-morrow, and we still retain all the elements of national wealth and national greatness. Those who venture to share our wealth may venture boldly, for boundless plenty smiles side by side with countless wealth. Our splendid harvests are now whitening for the sickle, but with no men to reap them. The same land which is thus pouring forth her mineral trea sures, is still feeding the finest sheep and cattle that were ever fattened upon natural grasses. Their fate has hitherto been that of shameful waste—the melting pot. It is a land literally flowing with milk and honey. It wants but population to give it a degree of pro gress unequalled in the history of the world. B u t we regret to add that it has been trifled with by the shuffling and insincere Earl Grey—that through his agency its energies are depressed, its very prosperity rendered dangerow, by a Government faithless and incapable to a proverb. Let the over-crowded of the mother country come freely and fearlessly. We can make room for them by thousands or tens of thousands. (From the Melbourne Daily News of Dec. 5.) The most important piece of intelligence from our mines this week is the discovery, at Louisa Creek, of a specimen of gold in quartz weighing 271bs. It is said to be almost pure, and while in the hands of Mr. Commissioner Bowman, 1,1001. was offered and re• fused for it. We are not in possession of full parti culars at present, but there is sufficient evidence to justify an announcement of the fact. No doubt next week will give ocular demonstration of the truth. Several new spots have been opened out since our last, and scarcely a day passes without producing something fresh in the shape of new diggings. At Tuena Creek, which rises about twenty miles to the southward of the Abercrombie, and empties itself into that river, very rich deposits have been brought to light. A considerable number of men were on the ground last week, and the commissioner had issued 150 licenses. A party of three procured 62 ounces in three days within two feet from the surface —one bucket of earth yielding six ounces ; ano ther party obtained 153 ounces out of a hole about five feet long and three feet deep. We have already received Tuena gold in Sydney, and a large qaantity is expected in a few days; there is no doubt the place will be crowded with miners as soon as it becomes generally known. Letters are also in town from respectable parties, stating the discovery of a gold mine within three miles and a half of Albury, on the road to Melbourne, and about 380 miles from Sydney ; a specimen of the gold, which was obtained only a foot below the surface, was placed in the hands of a chemist yesterday morning to ascertain its purity. In addition to this news from the south ward, we have letters from Asmidale, in New Eng land district, and from Moreton Bay and White Bay, respecting the existence of gold to the northward ; indeed there can be little doubt that the whole colony is one vast gold field, and that Australia will in future be considered the brightest jewel in her Majesty's crown. The news from Braidwood is more encouraging than ever. All things are doing well, and many are doing wonders. Two gentlemen last week pur chased at the diggings, and took into Goulburn, over 2,100 ounces of the precious metal, and the quantity coming into town every day is proof positive of the richness of the diggings. At the Turon a meeting of the miners has been held, and a petition adopted to the Legislative Coun cil, praying for an alteration of the entire mining regulations—particularly with respect to the licenses. It would be well for the Council to adopt such mea sures as may seem advisable, so as to streng th s e e n ss i t on hands of Government, before the p closes. It is a very important and -delicaterestquestion to handle, and will require all the that can be body of men brought to bear upon it.

(From the London New Price Current, April 8.) SUGAR.—To-day the demand was large fur West India from home dealers, and full rates were paid fur both grocery and refining qualities. Operations were were 583, making for the week 1,193 hhds and tierces. The market for both Colonial and Foreign Sugar closes with a firm aspect. REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar met with ready buyers for home consumption, and the market closed firm; low to fine grocery lumps 44s 6d to 48s 61 Se veral parcels of Crushed were taken by shippers at former rates. MAURITIUS. —This afternoon a public sale of 2,059 bags Mauritius went off freely at fully former rates; good to fine brown at 27s to 295, low to good yellow 29s 6d to 345, and superior 35s 6d. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon of Bengal or Madras there was nu public sale, yet privately several parcels were sold at full rates. FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar was much inquired after, but an advance being demanded much interfered with business for shipping. At auction 13,270 bags Manilla, duty paid, were taken in above the value, good clayed greyish at 32s 6d to 335, washed 32s to 323 6d; there were buyers of the sound ut 325. Of Bahia 120 packages sold, ord and mid soft yellow at 303 to 31s, brown 283 to 295, ord and mid greyish 31s 6d to 32s 6d per cwt. MOLASSES.—West India continues to be wanted at the previous value, yet the supply remains scanty ; prices rule at 13s to 14s for Antigua and Barbadoes, 12s to 12s 6d for other sorts. For limited parcels of Cuba and Porto the rates paid are 133 to 13s 6d. Bengal and Mauritius wanted at lls 6d, and supply is trifling. Prices are advancing fur Honey, Jama - ca selling at 40s to 48s, good to flee ditto 50s to 58s. In Tamarinds se veral sales have been made at 24s to 34s for West India, and at 8s to 22s for East India. _ COFFEE.-To-day rather lower rates being submitted to for Native Ceylon occasioned a better demand to pre vail, and at auction 1,079 bags were all sold, real good ord at 39s to 38s 63, damaged 355 6d to 37s 6d, and one lot superior sound 39s 63. For Plautatiou Ceylon there is yet a quiet market, still offers of lo.er terms were re jscted to-day.

TEA,-The atuuuat of busaness concludsd in Congou has been small, and there are free sellers at previous terms; supply is plentiful of ord and mid sorts. For low the rates taken are 7d, good ord and sound 7fd to 83, rather black. , 3h lest to blackish leaf Sid to 10id, fine and Pekoe kinds lid to la 53; rather under these rates there are several buyers both for home trade purposes and shipping. Oolong continues to attract little notice; sellers are willing to accept Ild to is 33 for good to fine, and low to mid 8d to 10d. Souchoog is easily obtained .it previous low terms, yet a good demand prevails; fine at is 23 to Is 7d; oih, , r sorts 8d to is id. P.iuchong is wanted at 4,1 to 6d; few parcels aro still in the mar ket. Scented Orange Pekoe met with a dull sale; good to fine is offered at is Id to is 7d, and low to mid 93 to Is, the lower sorts being the most neglected.

Town dressed Carolina is dull of sale at 21s to 275, Patna from Ils to 16s. and a reduction is quickly expected. Few buyers of Sago are now to be met with; small pearl is offered from 15s to 17s, and large ditto 215 to 235. Sago Flour is wanted at 14s, and is in small supply.

SPICES.-Of Cassia Lignea supply is not adequate for the demand; prices are firm, ruling from 112 to 123 for low to fine quality. The market is without a supply of Cassia Buds, there are buyers at stiff rates. Some par cels Cassia Vera have been sold at 50s to 60s, and the quantity here is small.

ROYAL GEOGRAPRICAL SOCIETY. The usual meeting of the members of the Royal Geographical Society was held on Monday evening, at the Royal Institution. The chair was taken by Sir Roderick Murchison. The first paper read was Dr. Rae's journal of his long and arduous voyage of exploration on the Arctic shores in search of Sir John Franklin. In the ab sence of Dr. Rae, the paper was ,read by his friend and companion Mr. Miles. On the 13th of June the to the ex pedition set out from Fort Confidence, a n d ran the confluence of the Vendall and Coppermine rivers. They proceeded with great difficultyat this early period of the season, meeting with many obstructions from the unbroken ice, and surveyed the shores for a dis tance of nearly 1,100 miles in all. Occasional surveys were made in the boats, and by expeditions upon the land, but, as Dr. Rae regretted, without meeting with any trace of Sir John Franklin's vessels. On the 20th of August a piece of pine wood was picked up, which excited much interest. In appearance it resembled the butt end of a flag-staff, and was five feet nine inches in length. It had a curious mark, apparently stamped upon it, and to it was attached a piece of white line, fastened by two copper tacks, both of which had the Government mark cf the "broad arrow" upon them. About a mile further on a piece of wood, which proved to be oak, was dis covered in the water, but touching upon the beach. It was about three feet eight inches long, and Dr. Rae supposes it to have been a stancheon. From the circumstance of the flood tide coming from the north, along the east shore of Victoria Island, there can be no doubt that there is a water channel dividing that island from North Somerset, a* d through this Dr. Rae believes these pieces of drift weod to have come. The support that Dr. Rae gins to the hope that Sir John Franklin may be able to find provisions from the birds and animals which frequent those inhospitable shores is most interesting. He describes the success of his- party in hunt ing as very great ; and that it was sufficient to support life, was evident from the fact, that the con sumption of provisions from the 20th of June to the 21st of September was only 41 bags of flour and 1501bs. of dry meat, which was principally given to the dogs. Although the crew, which consisted of seventeen men, was thus chiefly fed upon flesh-- chiefly venison—there was not a single case of sick ness during the whole voyage. The paper, which was listened to throughout with the most undivided attention, concluded in the midst of a universal burst of applause. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks to Dr. Rae, called attention to his previous expedition in the spring, and stated, as a proof of the energy and deter mination of this enterprising traveller, that he had traversed almost entirely on foot, and completed a survey and plan of 1,100 miles of the coast, making , with the return, upwards of 2,000 miles in both ex peditions. This was what a real Arctic traveller could accomplish ; and he hoped that Dr. Rae would live long and continue his voyages with uninterrupted success. A very interesting discussion ensued upon the question as to where the two pieces of drift wood had been carried from; and secondly, whether there was a sufficient supply of food to be procured by hunting for the support of the missing adventurers, Sir G. Back, R.N., Captain Ommanney, R.N., Dr. Rae, Dr. Sutherland, and other gentlemen took part in the discussion. On the first point Captain Ommanney and Sir G. Back, after hearing Dr. Rae's explanation, quite agreed with him. On the latter Captain Om manney stated that he considered it his duty to caution the public from entertaining any expectation whatever of the return again of Sir John Franklin. As far as his experience went, there were not animals in large enough numbers to supply them with provisions—at least in the direction in which he explored the Arctic regions. Dr. Sutherland and Mr. White, on the other hand, maintain the contrary, and adduced the results of their ow❑ experience, in confirmation of the statements of Dr. Rae. Sir R. Murchison, in con cluding the controversy, stated that the hopes he had already expressed in favour of Sir John Franklin's being yet alive were more firmly established than ever. A paper by the Rev. C. G. Nicholay, " upon the classification of water sheds," occupied the remainder of the evening. SHIP NEWS. NOTICES TO MARINERS. A dispatch has been received at Lloyd's from the Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, con taining the following copy of a notice to mariners issued by the Netherlands Minister of Marine relative to a sunken wreck on the Pampus Bank : (Copy.) MARINE DEPARTMENT. The Minister of Marine hereby iiirorms mariners and others thereby interested that a sunk wreck on the Pam pus Bank (which is, however, expected to be removed) is indicated by a wreck buoy situated thereon, lying in the following bearings : The County Hall, a short-handspike's distance south of the Beacon Light of the River Y. The Church of Weesp, at the Castle of Minden. The Village of Uitdam, exactly between Bred: in Waterland and Zuiderwonde. With easterly winds, at high water, the depth above the wreck measures 27 palms, and in the neighbourhood of the wreck 32 palms. Keeping the County Hall in a direct lino with the Beacon Light on the river Y, ships run westerly along the wreck and thereby keep tree of the same. Fishermen are particularly recommended not to throw their net in the neighbourhood of this buoy. Tho Minister aforesaid, (Signed) T. EITSLIE. The Llagu, March 13, 1852. WEST INDIES.

MURDER AT BRIDGNORTII,.SALOP. An inquest was held, a few days ago, in the Bridg north Union Workhouse, before Mr. W. D. Batte, coroner for the borough of Bridgnorth, upon the body of John Gitton, aged 50, an inmate of the workhouse, who was found murdered in the ablebodied men's day room, between seven and eight o'clock on the evening of the 29th ult. An inmate of the workhouse named Col- Icy was in custody, charged with having committed the murder. Colley came into the union house on the 9th of January from the lunatic asylum at Shrewsbury. It appeared that the prisoner and the deeased were left to gether for a few minutes in the dayroom with a blind idiot boy, who could give no account of the transaction. When the bell rang for prayers en inmate had to go into the room for his coat, when he heard a man groaning near the fire. It was the deceased, who was covered with blood: and who soon afterwards expired without recovering croen. sciousness or the power of speech. Ho bad_re.csevi_o.a three terrible wounds upon the bead, the sk x u p " o n sed lu tO been cloven in three places and the bra g room. UpOti view.
