I have, no doubt that this, as well as the other minor causes which have, as yet, interfered with the steamers accomplishing a quick voyage, will be soon removed, as experience .pOints out what re quires to be done. " In regard to the general aspect of affairs, there is nothing to report materially different from the accounts I have before given you. The same astonishing amount of it.nmigration continues ; the same commercial activity prevails. The high rates of provisions and house:rents are nearly as then, with a decline among a few articles of the former, such as. the important one of flour, which is now selling at about 201. a-ton, with is. 61. the quartern loaf, instead of 491. the ton, and 2s. 61 the guar tern loaf, as recently charged. Another article of nearly the same daily use—namely, 'butter, main tains the same price (3s. per lb.) ; and, as to vegetables and fruit, the prices are qU'ite prohi bitory, except to those whose large incomes make the price of lii ng no object. The proceeds from the gold fields seem of late to be somewhat less in quantity ; but to this. I attach no importance what ever, as .it is in my opinfon, one of those slight variations in the amount' of supply which in all similar • great Works of labour must temporarily , occur. My belief is that the gold fields of Aus tralia are of such an extent that they will yield the precious metal in at least the same propor tion as hitherto for centuries to come. But this is a very different question from the certainties of individual success, and upon this branch of the subject it - would be well for thousands if the actual facts of the case were-= ore cleP,rly understood, for in that .event a great loss of time, health, and money would unquestionably be saved; It car-sot be too often impressed on the minds of all who meditate emigration to this country with a - view to the gold diggings, that it is neither more nor &nu a perfect lottery. Although, of courso, fle chances are in favour of those possessing much physical strength to enable them to cope with the severe bodily labour which they must necessarily undergo, yet, even with these, it is still the same kind of gambling speculation. A party of four may work for six weeks and get nothing, and, after leaa;ng in disappointment and disgust, the last hole dug by them may be occupied by new comers ' who in twenty-four hours may t urn up several pounds weight of gold. The only way to insure a fair degree of su,,cca is to condUct gold digging as a regular trade--to go to the diggings with means suffi cient to hold on in case of disappointment, and to continue steadily at it in spite of failure, whether it be for three, six, nine, or even t we l ve mont h s. The result will be then, that you will 'almost cer tainly be rewarded with a certain portion of the yellow metal, equivalent to what in England would undoubtedly be rightly considered a large sum, but which, recollecting the high prices the digger has to pay for his provisions, &c., is, alter all, not so large a sum as at first sight appears. From conversations with many who have tried their fortunes in the gold regions of Moun'zi Alex ander, Bendigo, Forest Creek, &c., I cannot but come to the conclusion that, speaking generally, the present average wages of labour in Melbourne will prove equally remunerative, without the pri liations and severe work which the pursuit of the gold-digger involves. Since my former letter the contemplated export duty on gold has been abandoned, and I am glad it has.been so, for the opposition to it on the part of the diggers, would in all probability have brought on a collision with the authorities. A meeting was held, at which opinions were expressed that no more licence-money should be paid on the Export Duty Bill becoming law ; and although, in the event of a disturbance, there could be no doubt of the eventual triumph of law and order, yet it is feaiful to contemplate what scenes of bloodshed might have taken place, if so small a force of mili tary and police as exists here were brought into contact with the large army of diggers which is en camped. on those localities which I have mentioned. All public works remain at a standstill ; nothing is doing to meet the pressing . demand for the cleans ing and sewerage of the city, or for the better sup ply of water to the inhabitants, who are still com pelled to resort to the expensive and inconvenient mode of having it brought in water-cams, after which it require s filter 7 ng, unless y ou prefer taking the chance of dysentery and other, iseases. the amount to her Majesty's Land and Emigration Com missioners, I requested that emigrant ships at the rate of five each month should be sent ka the colony until that sum and the previous remittance of 100,000/., now in course of di s b ursemen t, s h ou ld b e expen d ed. I have also, in compliance with the request contained in your address of the 2d of October last, transmitted to the Right Hon. the Secretary of State a copy of the second progress "report of the select committee on immigration, fn order that the necessary directions may be given for adopting the self-supporting principle therein recom mended, if it should be found practicable to carry it into effect. I trust that these combined measures, with the spontaneous immigration which is no cv taking place, may have the effect of speedily relieving the employers 'of labour required in the ordinary industrial pur suits of the colony, from the pressure to which they have lately been subjected. In the meantime, from the accounts which have .reached me from different parts of the colony, I have learntoigth satis facti •n that, notwithstanding the scarcity and dearness of labour, the harvest and the wool clip are proceeding without serious interruption. I w .1 1 take an early op portunity of transmitting to the most noble the Governor- General of India, for his lordship's favourable considera tion, a copy of your address, requesting- that the law which prohibits the emigration to this colony of all Indian labourers who do not dome under the •designation of menial servants, may be abrogated. I have received with much satisfaction your address express Ave of your con currence in'the measure proposed by the Government for rendering 'further pecuniary assistance to the Sydney Railway Company. I trust that this may now prove the certain , means of completing and opening for public traffic a sufficient portion of railway to make obvious the manifold advantages to be obtained from this mode of internal communication, and thus eventually to lead to its progressive adoption throughout the wide extent of this colony. I communicated 'without delay to the Secretary. of State a copy of your address, recommending that'the sum of 6,0001. per annum, for three years, be riakfto the first steam company which shall establ;sh a monthly line of steamers, whereby the course of post between London and Sydney may be brought within 120 days. The necessary provision has been made for this service for the ensuing year. I have had much pleasure in giving my assent to the act which allows the trans mission of books by post at a reduced "charge. I trust that it may be the means of fostering a taste for litera ture, and of disseminating useful information throughout the colony. I have received your address, expressive of your opinion that it would t en d t o th e con Intelligence has been received front Sydney to 28th December, and from Adelaide to' the 10th January. The yield of gold at the diggings greater than ever. The number of diggers at the various gold fields 100,000, whose - average earnings are one 'ounce per man per week. Trade brisk, and prices sustained, with the exception of flour. The intelligence by this arrival is highly satis factory • the yield o f go l d from the Victoria dig gings done amounted to about 100,003 ounces a' week in spite of the attractions of the Christmas holydays and the scarcity of water in some ties. Twelve thousand emigrants and 152 ships had arrived in Port Philip during the month of December, but though such an enormous accession to the population had been naturally attended with some inconvenience, nothing approaching to suffering had occurred. The price of flour had fallen very considerably. The labour market was easier, and the harveSt and wool crop, both of which had been abundant, had been securedin all the colonies in good condi tion, and without extraordinary expense. • Arrangements had been made by the Superin tendent of the colonial and some other gold mining companies for working quartz claims with every prospect of success. The flour market is weak. 251. is the nominal quota tion for finest samples. The recent importations from South America remain in the hands of importers, the millers declining to add to their stocks at present prices. The produce market is very well supported. Good average prices were obtained at Mores auction on Thursday. But only a small amount of wool was offered (2.50 hales). The price of gold on Friday was 31. 13s. for Vic toria, and 3/. 10s.'

(From the Sydney Gold Circular of Dec. 27.) The Christmas holidays have come round once more, but yithout producing that diminution in the produce of our `mines which might have been expected. On the contrary, indeed, the quantities at all the diggings have slightly increased. Some of the few parties left at Hanging Rock, in the north, appear to be doing extremely well, as much as 73 oz. and 46 oz. per week having been obtained. Rocky River continues to rise in favour and to afford profitable employment for those who are working there, with abundance of room for more. Two additional reports from the Rev. 33. Clarke on the northern gold fields have reached us, which we shall notice in our next. A gleam of sunshine has at length gladdened the hearts of the owners of the Tnron bed claims. During the past week some of them have been able to get to work, one claim yielding in a single day 101 b., and on the following day 40oz. gold, while several others average from 10oz. to 20oz. per day. A few parties on the Tuena are doing a moderate stroke. Mundy Flat still continues very rich some parties making Boz. per day. The numbers at the Meroo and Louisa Creek are on the increase, and Spicer's Creek is favourably men tioned. Our private advices from the south inform us that there is not much doing at Bell's Creek and Major's Creek, with the exception of some few parties who own good bank claims. At Bell's Paddock, however, the diffusion of prosperity is almost universal, the more successful makirig as much as 15oz. or 20oz. per day. There was an increase of numbers on all the diggings in. this neighbourhood, so that we may look for considerable addition to the usual supply. By Order of the Board. G. BUTLER, Secretary.

' The daily use of this aromatic and delicious Sauce is the best safe g uardto The Great Britain steamer was to sail on the 3d of January from Port Philip for Liverpool. She brought with her from Sydney 24,0000 z. of gold, and was expected to ship about 150,0000 z. more from Melbourne. The Ballarat was also expected to ship a large freight of gold. The Cleopatra steamer,- which *eft England Sep tember the 7th, had arrived in safety after a long passage. The political intelligence is uninteresting, ex cept that the irritation of the inhabitants of Van Diemen's Land on the subject of transportation had risen to such a height that the Legislature had threatened to stop the supplies. The following, on the yield of gold, is extracted from the Melbourne Argus of the 3d of January : " Since our previous summary there has been brought down as follows : ' THE CEYLON LAND AND MINING COMPANY. Capital 200,000/, in 11 Shares. O FURTHER LIABILITY. Ten Shillings per Share to be paid on allotment.

The Directors . desire to draw attention to the following, taken from " Copies of extracts of correspondence between her Majesty's Government and parties in Ceylon, vide Blue Book, page 15, printed by order of the House of Commons, 21st July, 1847 :"--" Persons the best informed entertain little doubt that the vast mineral re sources of the country hitherto undeveloped, but which are known extensively to abound, will eventually present no inconsiderable feature in the export trade of the country."

A FFAIRS OF BUSINESS.—In every affair of _CIL trade, buying or selling, equality and prices, are the condi tions of satisfactory contract. The superior quality of all goods offered to public inspec ion, or made to order by E. MOSES and SON, is so well known, and has been so long tried, that very little need be said on that subject; but the unity of low prices, and the very best qualities, is a system of business which E. MOSES and SON were the first to introduce, and have been the most successful in carrying out. This they have made epplicable to every brAnch of theirgigantic business, and have adhered to it during all changes in the seasons or the markets. They have never hesitated to pay the best prices for the most artistic and accomplished workmanship— but they will by no means inflict higher charges on any of the r pa trons. The LADIES are iurnisind with HABITS the most graceful in style, and from the finest and most fashionable materials, or with HOSIERY, the neatest, most rover, and useful. GENTLE MEN are provided with the best materials and workmanship in every description of ATTIRE which their professions, engagements, or the season may render necessary. All good= or orders are charged much lower prices at E. MOSES and SON'S, than at any other house in the world.

You may rely on my desire to meet your wishes on the sub ject, as far as circumstances will permit. Your other addresses, to which no specific allusion has been made, will receive due attention. I am happy to state that the anticipations entertained of the productiveness of the customs revenue under the Tariff Act passed during the present session have been fully realised , and I doubt not that, in other respects, from its liberal and indiscri minating character, it will be found to work beneficially for the public interests. Offei ing equal facilities to the introduction of the produce and manufactures of all na tions, it will, I confidently anticipate, have the effect of largely and most advantageously extending the com mercial intercourse of the country. I have much plea sure in observing that the good order and willing obe dience to the laws and regulations of the Government which have so creditably characterised the population at the gold fields since their first occupation, are still maintained. If the produce has been less than was an ticipated, that may be readily shown to have arisen from temporary causes, and not from any failure in their productiveness or extent. The unusual fall of rain has prevented the bed claims of the river from being worked during the greater part of the season ; and many per sons, attracted by the richness of the gold fields of Vic toria, have temporarily proceeded thither. The tide of immigration is now, however, steadily setting back to this colony, and as the population engaged in gold dig ging increases, there can be no doubt that the produce will show a corresponding augmentation. I thank you for the liberality with which you have provided for the public service. You may rely on my desire to use the supplies which you have placed at the disposal of the Government with every regard to economy. I now de clare this council to stand prorogued to Tuesday, the Bth day of February next.

GOLD FROM AUSTRALIA.—The last arrival amount ed to upwards of one end a half millions sterling —a large por tion of which was for business transactions in Australia, by E.

Jeremiah Kennedy, a labouring man, stated that on the previous night, as he was passing the river steps on the south side of London-bridge, he observed a woman descend towards the water. Suspecting that she medi tated self-destruction he ran down after her. When he got to the bottom of the steps, it being very dark at the time, finding that there was no person there, he con cluded that the woman he had previously seen must have thrown herself into the river. He then listened, and hearing a noise in the water at some distance from the steps, he pulled off some of his upper garments and jumped into the river, and being an expert swimmer he succeeeded in bringing the defendant to the shore, and rescuing her from certain death. In reply to the magistrate, the defendant said that she was either robbed of or had lost a sum of money with which she was to have paid her rent, and that the cir cumstance caused her such anxiety of mind that she de termined on destroying herself. She added that she now heartily regretted that she had made such an at tempt upon her life, and would promise not to repeat it. Mr. Combe pointed . out to the defendant the folly of her conduct, and said that, had it not been for the ex cellent conduct of the man Kennedy, in venturing his own life at night in the river to save hers, she would, in all probability, have been drowned. The magistrate then adjudged the defendant's husband to enter into h:s recognisances for her not repeating the attempt ; and, having eulogised the conduct of Kennedy, ordered him a small sum of money out of the poor-box, to recompense him in some measure for his activity and zeal in saving a fellow-creature's life, and at the same time said he was of opinion that such a man was well entitled to the con sideration of the Royal Humane Society when ' they distributed their rewards for the preservation of human life.

DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matricllated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Etc., Etc. VIAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system. resulting from juvenile irregu'arities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various lorms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitftil Marri ages, Impotency, Loca' and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con equences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of sciencecannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice. he has been amply rest arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily'from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELFsPRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by-fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses.

WESTMINSTER.—George Reid, a young maid, was charged with the following brutal assault : Bridget Griffiths, a poor woman, who gets her living by selling things in the street, appeared with her head enveloped in a s urgical band age , an d ex hibi te d a number of frightful bruises. She stated that, on the previous night, she was going through Blue Anchor-court, West minster, where the defendant lives, and on passing his house heard her name repeatedly mentioned ,most abusively by a woman with whom he cohabits. Corn plainant.knocked, and asked what she was abusing her for, when defendant rushed upon her with a broom in his hand, and beat her most unmercifully all over the body. He afterwards took up a poker, and following her, struck her on the head, arm, and several parts of the body, in the presence of a policeman. He gave her a wound in the head, from whioh she bled , tery and she was taken to the hospital. Cramp, 47 B, proved that the attack was made so suddenly, and with such fury, that the blows were struck with the poker before he could secure the prisoner. Accused entered into a long rambling story about his intimacy formerly with the complainant, and alleged that she struck him first with the broom.

In a previous summaiy we proved that a large proportion of the precious metal was carried from the diggings by private hand, by comparing the amount known to have been brought to Melbourne by the far larger amount aeLually shipped from the port.

Larkin Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain 21,600 acres in extent, and to possess extensive gold-bearing quartz veins and auriferous deposits, and gold washings, and to be well adapted for agriculture purposes. The property is deLcribed as being situated on the West bank of the Feather River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento River, and to be at a dist ante of about 195 miles by water communi cation tYcom San Francisco. The Sacramento is at all times naviga ble for steamers ; and it is stated that, during a greater pot tion of t he Year, vessels can navigate the Feather River up to the property. The estate is freehold, and the vendors guarantee an indisputable title, free from incumbrances. • The mineral importance and value of the propety will be best Judged of by the following extract from the report o" the Sm-reyor, Nicholas Gray, Esq , who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as an officer Under orders from the United States Government. fter giving a detailed description of each lot, ho sums up his report rs .ollows : "I class the whole estate, containing 21,656 70-100 acres, as mi neral land. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to the summit of the highest mountain on the land, in the soil as in the quartz reek. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the eolith -west corner ofthe Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been dis covered in the same vicinity, and I have been informed by men of veracity that a few diamonds have also been dug from the slope of the same mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather River is about 24 miles, taking its meanders, and I believe the gold bearing quartz reek is to be found all along the bank of that stream, and extending back generally two or three • niles. By reference to to the map you have ail the principal points laid down of quartz rock, rich diggings, &c." Further important details will be found in the accompanying document and map of the property; and other particulars of an in teresting nature respecting this extensive erritory May be inspected at the office of the Company. Mr. Gray states in his Reports that specimens of the quartz veins Were taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to London for analysis, and the result of that analysis, as given in the SPpendix, shows that with careful managament a large return for the capital invested may be reasonably expected from the Company's !pining operations. The working capital of 100,0001., leaving the remainder for pur chase money, will, it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to conduct V' the operations of the Company; snd it is intended to expend the same chiefly in erecting extensive central mills for grinding the !auriferous quartz on the properly, and for reducirg and extracting the gold from its matrices, whether sands, earths, or quartz, in the Most complete, perfect, and economical manner; and also in en couraging farmers to settle upon the property, whose rents would be commensurate with its value and location, and who would in no Way interfere with the extraction of its mineral riches. The venders have agreed to sell the property at a price one-half of Which is included in the present capital, and the remaining half is to be paid when the capital is increased to X 500,000, and when dividends to the amount of 20 per cent. have beers paid to the shareholders as before mentioned. The entire price to be thus paid in moitles is probably not one-hundredth part of the mere Value of the gold to be extracted rzom the lands, independently of their fitness and eligibility for cultivation ; and the company have been met with the greatest fairness by the vendors, who do not seek to be paid for the estate,:except a deposit of 5 per cent on one moiety of the purchase money, until an English surveyor, nominated by the board of Supervision, shall have examined the estate, reported upon it, and declared it to be in accordance with the prospectus. The Price per acre on the portion o: purchase-money payable out of the Present capital is less than 101. The Company may find it desirable that a Mu a shall be erected near the junction of the Feather River with the north fork of that river ; and as great facilities and advantages will be offered to resi dents, the particular lands to be set apart for this city, looking at the Well known rapidity with which American cities are created and Peopled, may probably, in a few years, realise prices sufficient to re store to the Shareholders the entire purchase money. - - _ An organised system of granting leases mines on the estate is also iu contemplation, which we' yield large returns to this Com pany; and the Board of Supervision desire to call the attention of ether individuals and companies contemplating the Purchase of farm 14,_g lands, alluvial diggings, or quartz mining locations, to their vast 'recta of territory. The Board will be prepared to make sales and grant leases of portions of the Feather River Estate. The Board of Supervision believe that they indulge in no exagge ration when expressing their conviction that the e s tate fairl y p ut to r k to its fun capabilities will, for many years, annually yield as dividend—what.may reasonably be expeged from all succes.ful gold iPanies—at least 20 per cent. on the entire capital besides bo nuses. The Investment in the shares must , ,there fore, be e q ual to that offered by any other company, tither in Australia or California. The Board of Supervision will Lave the rower of carrying out the c ontract with the vendors. and of settling the statutes of the corn far Y, under which all its affairs will be regulated . The deposit will he 21 per share, thus pay:ng up the shares in lull at the time of allot pent, and all deposits applicable to the purchase money received Joni shares sold will be held in like manner as the shares would have :eell if not sold—viz., until the surveyor's report has been received, quiet possession given, and a good title exhibited, and a proper con 'eYance executed. Applications for shares to be addressed to the Secretary, and to t he Brokers of the Company ; and no application can receive atten tion Unless references be given to Bankers or Stockbrokers.

We take the following from a circular, dated New Orleans, Feb. 19, 1853 : " The dull state of the market, and the general apathy to buy in the face of continued favourable accounts from Liverpool must be ascribed to the belief that the present flattering accounts will be succeeded by reports of a reaction and declining prices in Liverpool as soon as the present heavy receipts become known there ; moreover buyers look for a further decline in our market in conse quence of the heavy stocks, and even if there were a dis position to do a large business, the positive want of ships would prove a great obstacle, as but few vessels are nn engaged in port. A large eet has sailed from various parts of the world for our port; notwithstanding, freights would advance immediately upon a few days large business.. " The receipts continue heavy, amounting for the week to 56,984 bales, against 45,364 bales same time last year; this circumstance will naturally tend to increase crop estimates again, but we find that many well-informed parties still adhere to 3,250,000 bales as an outside figure. The receipts in our port since Ist September are 1,198,629 bales, against 823,674 bales same time last year, and the stock in presses and on ship-board is now 367,070 bales (against 143,589 bales same time last year), of which 143,000 bales unsold." The following was received by telegraph : " New Orleans, Feb. 26, 1853.—Sales of cotton for the week amount to 52,000 bales. The market is firm, at 9c. for middling. Receipts from the 19th to the 26th February, 45,000. bales. Clearances for Great Britain during the same period, 17,000 bales: The greater part of the sales was for Great Britain, and a fair proportion for France, the market remaining unaffected by the ad vices from Liverpool, per steam-ship Arabia, of the 12th Feb. Freights remain firm at three-farthings for Liver pool." Our-correspondent- adds, -that the crop -this year *ill be about the same as last. Estimated grand total of the yield up to 30th December, 1852 «we may say, in round numbers, 4,000,000 ,oz., which, at 70s, per oz., is 14,000,000/. sterling ; but its intrinsic value is certainly more, nearly 16,000,0001. sterling. The world has never, perhaps, exhibited so astounding a result as these figures show. " The number of diggers at the various gold fields may now be estimated at 100,000 ; and th e aver age earning s may probably still be calcul a t ed at an ounce per man per week. There has be en a slight falling off in the quantities sent down by escort during the last month ; but this is partly to be referred to the departure of diggers to spend their Christmas at their respective homes. "It will be seen from the preceding summary that three several gold fields-L.—viz., Mount Alexander, Bal larat, and the Ovens are now being advantageously worked. The astonishing richness of Mount Alexander is evidenced in the large amounts which it yields, mit withstanding the immense quantities that have already been drawn from it. The whole country thereabouts appears to be more or less auriferous. "Ballarat diggings are again rising into favour, and their productiveness is being more fully developed. The gold at Ballarat is more unequally distributed than at Mount Alexander, and therefore the propoi 'don of suc cessful to unsuccessful diggers is not co great as at the latter place. But then the individual gains a're sdme cases greater. The labour is more severe, also, than at the Mount, as the gold lies deeper, and more numerous trials have to be made before the deposit 3 are struck upon. There is no doubt that Ballarat will continue to give out considerable quantities for a long time to come, ane Mountd will be a resoi Z; for many diggers wh o h ave failed at th. " The capabiliti es o f th e Ovens, as a v ery r i ch f i eld, may now be deemed an admitted fact. The amount brought into Melbourne as has yet been comparatively small, but it is known that large quantities have been carried pri va t e l y over l an d t o Syd ney, and all reports agree in attesting the richness of the locality. The Sydney papers state, for instance, that a gold buyer in that city lately purchased 500 ounces in one lot, I -om two men who had just come down from the Ovens. The data for determining the value of these digging are in complete, but enough has been shown to: indicate the existence of large quantities of the precious metal there. The labour is severe, owing to a s uperabundance; of water, but the chances are greatly in favour of the in dustrious worker. " There are various minor spots throughout the ter ritory where gold has been found by explorers, and in paying quantities. Some of these cases are kept secret by the discoverers ; others are knoll a, but the limited extent of the deposits prevents any numerous party from engaging upon them. But the threw fields already men tioned may be considered the grand centres of gold digging operations in Victoria." We extract the following from the correspond ence of the Times MELBOURNE, Jan. 1. Much dissatisfaction and disappointment have been felt and expressed here at the irregularity of them having f it appears that b th e e en st b e e a a m te e n rs b f y ro s m aili E n n g gla ve n ss d e , b 7m an e d o better arrangements must be made by .the com panies in England as to securing a full supply i)f coals at the different stations before any depend- ADELAIDE. The chief topics of inter wt here for some time past have been much the same as those which hare occupied general attention in England— v i z . gold and politics. F rom all appearances, it would seem that the former of these t 3pics has absorbed a much larger share of conversation in private and comment in public, and given rise to much more extensive action with you than with us. Here the treasures of the earth are now regarded very coolly ; and a growing disposition is manifesting itself to return with greater assiduity than ever to ordi—xy indus trial, pursuits. The South Australian d' gangs at Echunga have proved, so far, to be jrit what I stated in a former letter--rich enough to keep quiet people in the neighbourhood of their homes, but not rich enough to attract hither hordes of vaga .bonds from all corneas of he world. The armed escorts' still travel regelo-ly frOm Bendigo and Mount Alexander to Adelaide, brir ging here to wives and families the products of the labour of their absent heads. The Assay -office has nearly done its work, and will probably die out at the time which was originally named as the iimit of its existence—the 28th of January next. Gold tokens of 11. value (estimating standard gold at 71s. per ounce) are now issued from the Assay office, but do not find their way into circulation, inasmuch as coin of the realm is now sufficiently plentiful to meet the ordinary demands of busi ness. Our merchants and capitalists have begun to discover that it is wiser policy to send their gold to Britain, in exchange for specie, than to con vert it into South Australian sovereigns. The cry for a mint is consequently very much on a decline, the business of the Assay-office materially reduced, and the shipments of gold-dust largely increased. The Sydney takes from Adelaide 97,000 ounces of geld, a quantity larger than her freight from Syd ney and Melbourne combined. There is a great demand for labour here, and wages are very high. Mechanics are receiving from 16s. to 20s. per day, and unskilled labourers from 10s. to 15s. Domestic servants command 9s. per week readily, and even the rubbish and refuse that we get under the name of needlewomen are eagerly sought after. It is, howe'ver, only to supply a tem porary emergency, and great permanent mischief is being entailed upon this colony by directing upon it a stream from the sewers of your large towns and workhouses. Depend upon it, it is a popular error, and a serious one too, that the people who are in herently useless at home can be made valuable here. • Burra shares have experienced a slight decline. They have been up to 158/. ; they stand now at 150/. Gold-dust sells readily at 725. Flour is e, ening at 191. and 201. per ton. The rate of inte rest varies from 8 to 20 per cent., according to the security offered and amount required. SYDNEY. We extract the following from the correspon dence of the Melbourne Herald:— " SYDNEY, DEC. 27. • "Christmas has passed away quietly enough. The weather, which for ten days past has been an 3 ~b;ng but warm, has taken up 'in real earnest, and to-day we are suffering all the horrors of a north-westerly sirocco, not withstanding which shoals of people are tiavelling to Botanyfor 'pleasure.' "TUESDAY, 28 (ONE o'cLoos).—The Legislative Coun cil has just been prorogued by the Governor-General in person. I enclose the speech :- 66 ' Mr. Speaker and Gent'emen of the Legislative Council,—l am glad that the public business has now arrived - at "that stage which enables me to bring this long-protracted session to a 'close, and release you from further attendance from your arduous duties. In compli 2 once with the request conveyed in your r 'Press of the 10th of August last, I immediately forward :;.-Ithe Secre tary of. State, for his consideration, the • :ply adopted by the council to Earl Grey's dispatch of the 23rd Jan. 1852, on the subject of the declaration and remon strance of the late Legislative Council: In reference to your address recommending tl'''tt a branch of the Royal -Mint on the larger scale desci:bal by the Master of the Mint in his report to the St .- -cretary of State, should without delay be establ;Qhed in Sydney, I have the ' satisfaction to inform you that I had previously, under the advice of my executive council, requested -the Secretary of State to 'adopt the proper measures for this purpose ; and in order to defray the cost of the necessary machinery and apparatus, I have remitted to England the sum of 10,0001., which has been charged upon the gold revenue. I lost no time, on receipt of your address of the 9th July last, in taking the necessary steps for raising the sum of 50,0001., on the security of the territorial revenue, for the purposes of immigration: The tenders received being highly advantageous, 'and . the demand for labour still continuing of the most press log character, I did not hesitate to raise an additional! .sum of 50,0001., maki ng 100 , 000/ . i n all. The premiums' ( en the debentures and the discount on the remittance of the amount in hank bills, left a profit on the transaction of upwards of 11,0001., being equal to the interest on the loan for a period exceeding two years, In remitting ( From the Melbourne Gold Circular of Jan 3.) Gold has maintained an upward tendency this week owing to the demand for shipment by the Great Britain and the Ballarat, which was materially increased by the agents of the Great Britain reducing the freight to 44d. per ounce (the same as ships), and their erasing from the bills of lading the clauses that were considered ob jectionable. Although not cleared out at the Customs there is already on Board of the Great Britain and the Ballarat over 150,0000 z. The price of gold left off at 70s. 3d., being an advance of last week of 3d. per oz. The news from Fryer's Creek is'encouraging, several parties having succeeded in realising large quantities from spots that have been overlooked in the general rush to reported new fields. The Ovens is also increasing in productiveness, as the amount that has arrived this evening by escort shows. At Bendigo reports of dull ness are rife, and at Ballarat the running about of the diggers from place to place is the cause of a falling off in quantity.

The consumption of ordinary and extraordinary articles has necessarily been great, and the dealers have had con siderable difficulty in supplying the demand. Prices, however, hare not run as high:as would have been the case, but for the recent impoAations of flour • 'Ohl ll,' having reduced the price of bread tO a reasonable le, have also contributed to damp that spirit of speculation of which generally occurs in seasons of search of-life. ,Our harvest is turning out exceedinygloy. weell,staffand there is no reason to suppose that any material rise in prices can tale place for some weeks to come.
