This Company has been enabled to secure, in the celebrated Ne vada District, California, the riot to purchaso the large property of Thos. O. Larkin , Esq., reported upon, as after mentioned, to contain 21,600 acres in extent, and to possess extensive goid.bearing quartz veins and auriferous deposits, and gold washings, and to be well adapted for apiculture purposes. The property is deLeribed 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 distance of about ►95 miles by water communi cation from San Francisco. The Sacramento is at all times naviga ble for steamers ; and it is stated that, during a greater pot tion of th e 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 end value of the property will be best Judged of by the following extract from the repot t of the Surveyor, Nicholas Gray, Esq , who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as an officer tirider orders from the United States Government. i fter giving a detailed description of each lot, be sums up his report es iollows :- 1 ' I class the whole estate, containing 21,656 70-100 acres, asi m neral land. Gold is found from the bottom of t he smallest gully to the summit of the highest mountain on the land, in the soil as in the quartz rock. Some indications of iron are to be observed at the 6311 th -west corner ofthe Table Mountain. Quicksifver 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 rock is to be found all along the bank of that stream, And extending back generally two or three miles. By reference to to the map you have ail the principal points laid down of quartz rock, rich diggings, Soc." 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 ./.erere taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to London for analysis, and the result of that analysis, as given in the rPendix, shows that with careful rnanagsment a large return for t he ital invested may be reasonably expected from the Company's ??Ining operations. The working capital of 100,0001., leaving the remainder for pur chase money, will, it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to conduct the operations of the Company; end it is intended to expend the same chiefly in erecting extensive central mills for grinding the a uriferous quartz on the property, and for reducirg and extracting the_ os gold from its matrices, whether sands, earths, or quartz, in the ! ,1 t complete, perfect, and economical manner; and also in en co_ uraging farmers to settle upon the property, whose rents would be Ray with its vales and location , and .who would In no way interfere with the extraction of its mineral riches. which venders have agreed to sell the property at a price one-half of is included in the present capital, and the remaining half IS to be paid when the capital is increased to £500,000, and when ..dividends to the amount of 20 per cent. have been paid to the ohareholders as before mentioned. The entire price to be Thus paid in moities is probably not one-hundredth part of the mere value of the gold to be extracted Lom 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 pu rc h ase money , un til an English surveyor, nominated by the -Board of Supervision, shall have examined the estate, reported upon it, and declared it to be ill accordance with the prospectus. The Price per acre on the portion of purchase•money payable out of the Present capital is less than 101. The Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected near the junctions 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 of mines on the estate Is also in contemplation, which will yield large retu rns to this Com -IP_InY ; and the Board of Supervision desire to call the attention of other individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of farm lOg._ lands, alluvial diggings, cr quartz mining loca tions, to their vast tracts of territory. The Board will be prepared to make sales and trent 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 estate fairly put to d ividend—what to its full capabilities will, for many years, annually yield as wridend—what may reasonably be expected from all secces-ful gold utPanies—at least 20 per cent. on the entire ca p ital besides bo nuses. The investment in the shares must , therefore, be equal to that offered by any other comeany, either in Australia or California. The Board of Supervision will have the power o f carr y in g out the co ntract with the vendors. and of settling the statutes of the corn tanY, under which all its aftaira will be repeated.

AUSTRALIA. ante can be placed on the passage • being made within the time anticipated of 60 to 65 days. 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 immigration 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 ls. 6d. the quartern' loaf, instead - of 401. the ton, and 2s. 6d. the quar _tern loaf, as recently charged. Another article of nearly the came daily use—namely, butter, main tains the same price (3s. per lb.) ; and, as to vegetables and fruit, the prices are quite prohi bitory, except to those whose large incomes make the price of liN ing 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 opinion, 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 more clearly understood, for in that event a great loss of time, health, and money would unquestionably be saVed. It cannot 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 less than a perfect lottery. Although, of course, Pie 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 leaving in disappointment and disgust, the last hole dug by them may be occupied by new comers, who in twenty-four hours may turn up sevel.al pounds weight of gold.. The only way to insure a fair degree .of success is to conduct gold dig g in g 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 twelve month 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, after 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 Mount 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 vations 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 fearful 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-cal 'ca, after which it requires filtering, unless you prefer taking the chance of dysentery and other diseases. Intelligence has been received from 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 exceptibn . of flour. The intelligence by this arrival is highly satis factory • the yield of go ld f rom t h e Vi ctor i a dig gings alone amounted to about 100,000 ounces a week in spite of the attractions of the Christmas holydays and the scarcity of water in some locali 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.

I have also, in compliance with the request eoritained 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 'inay'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 now 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 learnt with satis faction that, notwithstanding the scarcity and dearness of labour, the harvest and the wool clip are proceeding without serious interruption. I will 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 come under the designation of menial servants, may be abrogated. I have received with much satisfaction your address expressive 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 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 stun of 6,0001. per annum, for three years, be paid to the first steam company which shall establish 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 informaticin throughout the colony. I have received your address, expressive of your opinion that it would tend to the con venience of the members, if the council were con vened as early as possible in the month of May in each year, for the dispatch of public business. 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. Offering 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. " 28th of December, 1852." " C. A. FiTzßor. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. MELBOURNE. JAN.

( 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 id 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 runninc , about of the diggers from place to'place is the cause of a falling off in quantity. _ _ Number of persons who have arrived in the colony this week 4,278 Number of persons who have left Bl5 Addition to our population this week... 3,463 MELBOURNE SHIPPING.

Cigars may be quoted 82s. 6d. The market is some what unsettled, importation being looked for. The to bacco market is tolerably well supplied, and prices not so firm. -,•'-- Currants have been freely sold at Bd. and 9d. a pound ; but as a quantity were imported too late for delivery for Christmas, it is probable this article will not maintain ita price. The same may be said of other dried fruits gene rally. 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 Mort's auction oil Thursday. But only a small amount of wool was offered .(250 bales). The price of gold on Friday was 31. 13s. for Vic toria, and Si. 10s. 6d. for New South Wales. The Great Britain did not ship so large a quantity as was ex pected, exception having been taken to the terms of the bills of lading. There is a very considerable amount of money engaged now in the gold trade, and every pro bability of prices being well maintained for some time to come. I have yet no news of importance to com municate from our own gold fields, which, however, continue to yield average amounts. (Prom the Sydney Gold Circular of _Dec. 27.) The Christmas holidays have come round once more, but without 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. Smile 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. B. 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 Turon 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 follovi,ing day 40oz. gold, while several calk averazi from 1.90 z. to - '200z." 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 making 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. '~ -~'!'-~'G -~ OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, 14th March, 1853.

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 p - ices, and the very best qualities, is a system of business which E. MOSES and SOY Iv, re the first to introduce, and have been the most successful in carrying out. This they have made applicable to every branch of their gigantic 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 their pa trons. The LADIES are furnished with HABITS the most graceful in style, and from the finest and most fashionable materials, or with HOSIERY, the neatest, most novel, 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.

BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matric'dated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. - - MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and g enerative system, resultin g from juvenile lrre g u , arities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, de g radation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stares of life, than perhaps any other class of ells cases 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 , orms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local 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 comequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has ,or 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 r;fv 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.

SOUTHWARK.—Mary Lambert, a woman advanced in life, was brought before Mr, Combe, charged with attempting to commit suicide. 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 eluded 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 his 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. WESTMINSTER.—George Reid, a young man, 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 surgical bandage, and exhibited 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. Com 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 which she bled very much, 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. Mr. Broderip observed that the case was of by far too serious a nature for him to deal with summarily ; and sent the case for trial at the sessions. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL-MARCH 15.

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 reac ti o n 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 shifts would prove a great obstacle, as but few vessels are ma engaged in port. A large fleet 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, amo unting 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 will ..be_aboutthe,eantewilast„. , SYDNEY SHIPPING.

In a previous st"•r'nary 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 actually shipped from the port. Our first summary showed the result of a very careful estimate as proving that up to the end of August last the total yield of gold was 2,532,422 oz. The escorts have brought down since then as tinder : From Aug. 26 to Sept. 27 From Sept. 27 to Nov. 15 From Nov. 15 to Dec. 30 976u6167131e0935393. Total 1,332,636 " But to this amount something must be added for the quantity conveyed by private hand within that period. Of course no definite data exist for ascertaining this ; but it will not be over-estimated by taking it at 10 per cent. of the quantity brought by escort. The totals would, therefore, stand thus : Ounces. Estimated total of the yield up till August 2,532,422 Conveyed by escort since then 1,332,636 Conveyed by private hand 133,263 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 the average earnings may probably still be calculated at an ounce per man per week. There has been 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—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, not withstanding the • immense quantitie s 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 Lion of suc cessful to unsuccessful diggers is not co great as at the latter place. But then the individual gains are in some 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 deposits are struck upon. There is no doubt that Ballarat will continue to give out considerable quantities for a long time to come, and will be a resort, for many diggers who have failed at the Mount. " The capabilities of the Ovens, as a very rich field, may now be deemed an admitted fact. The amount brought into Melbourne as has yet be en comparatively small, but it is known that large quantiti es h ave been carried rva attesting te ly Sydney papers state, for instance, that a go ld b uyer i n in p overlandtherichness ehtnoesSayd of f ey ) an d all reports the loc a lit y. Th e agree that city lately purchased 500 ounces in one lot, 11-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 superabundance 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 know a, but the limited extent of the deposits prevents any numerous party f ron d engaging upon them. But the three 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 iiregularity of the steamers from England, some of them having been beaten by sailing vessels, and it appears that arr angements must be mad e b y th e coral, England as to securing a f u ll su pply of better panies coals at the different stations before any depend ADELAIDE. f.. The chief 'topics of inter -1 1f here for some time past have been much the same as those which have occupied general attention in England-viz., gold and politics. From all appea rances , it woul seem ' that the former of these t vies 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 ordir ary indus trial pursuits. The South Australian diggings at Echunga have proved, so far, to be jr9t 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 corners of the world. The armed escorts still travel regul 971 y from Bendigo and. Mount Alexander to Adelaide, bringing 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 winch was originally named as the limit of its existence—the 28th of January next. Gold tokens of 1/. 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 gold, 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 i abbish and refuse that we get under the name of needlewomen are eagerly sought after. It is, however, 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 1581. ; they stand now at 1501. Gold-dust se]ls readily at 725. Flour is selling. 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.
