This Company has been enabled to secure, in the celebrated Ne 'vada District, California, the right to purchase the large property of Thos. 0. Larkin. ESQ. , reported upon , as after mentioned , to contain . 1 .600 acres in extent, and to possess extensive gold-bearing quartz 'veins and auriferous deposits, and gold washings, and to be well 'adapted for agricultural purposes. The property is described as being situated on the west bank of t h e Feather River, which is a tributary of the Great Sacramento 'Myer, and to be at a distance of about 195 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 portion of the Year, vessels can navigate the Feather River up to the property. Testate is freehold, and the vendor s g uarantee an indisputable . free from incumbrances. The mineral importance and value of the -property will be best c , by the folowing extract from the report of the Surveyor, %cholas Gray, Esq ,who, in September, 1852, surveyed it as an officer orders from the United States Government. % fter giving a 'Mailed deacniption of each lot, he sums up his report as follows • 1 class the whole estate, containing 21,656 70-100 acres, as mi zhe ral land,. Gold is found from the bottom of the smallest gully to a urrunit of the highest mountain on the land, in the soil as In the e artz u rock. Some indications of iron are to be observ ed at the %,.."A-Nvest corner oftho Table Mountain. Quicksilver has been ered in the same vicinity, and I have been informed by men of ii raeity that a few diamonds have also been dug from the slope of -2a same mountain. The whole front of the estate on Feather 'aver is about 24 miles, taking its meanders, and I believe the g01d .... g quartz rock is to be found all along the bank of that stream, :Lad extending back generally two or three miles. By reference to the map you have all the principal points laid down of quartz ro ck, rich diggings, &c." Further important details will he found in the accompanying document and map of the property; and other particulars of an in resting nature respecting this extensive territory may be inspdcted S t the office of the Company. _ Mr. Gray s t a t es i n h i s R epor t s th a t spec imens of the quartz veins ;rere taken by him from the estate. These Mr. Larkin forwarded to I 'ondon_ for analysis, and the result of that analysis, as given i n the "Pendix, shows that with careful managnnent a large return for the apital invested may b e reasona bly ex p ec ted from the Company's dining operations. ' The working capital of 100,0001., leaving the remainder for pur chase money, will, it is anticipated, be amply sufficient to conduct `, 14 t he operations of the Company; sad it is intended to expend t h ee same chiefly in erecting extensive central mills for grinding the aur iferous_ quartz on the property, and for reducing and extracting gold from its matrices, whether sands, earths, or quartz, in the • 3 t camplate, perfect, and economical manner; and also in en aging farmers to settle upon the property, whose rents would be ,"_-nineniturate with its valne and location, and who would in no " ay interfere with the extraction of its mineral riches. The venders have agreed to sell the property at a price one-half of Wt leh is included in the present capital, and the remaining half dYu be paid when the capital is increased to £500,000, and when bl I,IY - ends to the amount of 20 per cent. have been paid to the ' S hareholders as before mentioned. The entire price to he ~, v u tt r paid in mottles is probably not one-hundredth part of the mere theof the gold to be extracted from the lands, independently of pir fitness and eligibility for cultivation ; and the company have ert met with the greatest fairness by the vendors, who do not seek of • thepaid for the estate,lexcept a deposit of 5 per cent on one moiety purchase money, until an English surveyor, nominated by the -,-,Card 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 of purchase-money payable out of the Ipreaent capital is less than 101. The Company may find it desirable that a town shall be erected near the junction of the Feather River with the north fork of that Giver ; 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 Welt 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 QM in contemplation, which will yield large returns to this Com -140Y; add the Board of Supervision desire to call the attention of ;Aher individuals and companies contemplating the purchase of farm . TIC lands, alluvial diggings, or quartz mining locations, to their vast tr acts of territory. The Board will be prep ared 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 th e estate fairl y put to W ork to its full capabilities will, for many years, annually yield as di vidend—what may reasonably be expected from all successful gold e° l 2 l Panies—at least 20 per cent. o n the entire capital besides . "onuses. The investment in the shar es must, therefore, be equal to that offered by any other company, either in Australia or California. The Board of Supervision will have the power of carrying out the contract with the vendors, and of settling the statutes of the com l'acy, which all its affairs will be regulated. The deposit will be 97 per under share, thus paying up the shares in full at the time of allot 'cent, and all deposits applicable to the purchase money received ' hor n shares. sold will be held in like manner as the shares would have b een if not sold—viz., until the surveyor's report has been received, 'Met possession given, and a good title exhibited, and a proper con , I "eYance executed. APplications for shares to be addressed to the Secr etar y , and to the Brokers of the Company; and no application can receive atten tion unless references be given to Bankers or Stockbrokers.

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 forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. o o f i c i poeavv e :d y .noasc n nnhpo e a idone c ns e nii s ta,ds s ltac a thenri r oe f is:::e t tec h aimign a lsugd t eeenlo al nr,tivel l wthne i h - i d:h l enu e iniic i l ; ,havbey s iciis h labdc o tneeoc ul n,mma d ovheto i oasbiswn n ded o eniv vr dt aih,roy t eael hi rstdec t e atdrtpbehwesmoiviroateeehevl penalties Ti is f i w il principles and h n, incurring a e dyb l b le ew y in d t a i gT h y tei that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

AFFAIRS OF BUSINESS.--In every affair of 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 p:ices, and the very best qualities, is a system of business which E. MOSES and SON . Iv, re the first to introduce, and have beds 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— hut 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 fittest 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. All good. or orders are charged much lower prices at E. MOSES and SON'S, than at any other house in the world. GOLD FROM AUSTRAL I A.—The last laarriva o ed to upwards of on e and a half millions sterling —a large por tion of which was for business transactions in Australia, by E. MOSES and SON, their CLOTHING having sold for a vast amount of "Golden Treasure," and the satisfaction it is giving, warrants in ve'tments to any extent. wll Essionescrs, MERCHANTS, or SHIP PERS, may avail themselves of the most SALEABLE, because the BEST and most SIItTABLE Goons, at E. MOSES and SON'S, the prices, b e ing considerably lower than at any other house — the same advantages are offered to Emigrants of every Class, their Outfits or any portion of them, being charged wholesale prices. A depart ment kept for Outfitting, and full List of Outfits and ehipsailing in formation may be had on application, or post free to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the nntradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 34,85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

AUSTRALIA. ence 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 is. 6d. the quartern loaf, instead of 401. the ton, and .2s. 6d. the quar 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 quite prohi bitory, except to those whose large incomes make the price of living 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 tdo 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, the 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 several pounds weight of gold. The only way to insure a fair degree of success 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 twelve months. 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-carts, after which it requires filtering, unless you prefer taking the chance of dysentery and other diseases. Intelligence has been received from Sy aneY to 28th December, and fro m Ad e l a id e to tb:e 10th January. The yield of gold a t th e di g gings greater than ever. The number of diggers at the 1 rarious gold fields 100,000, whose average earnings tre 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 of gold from the Victoria 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 mouth of December, but though such an enormous aci.u3ssion to the population had been naturally at tended 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 secured in all the colondes 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 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 150,000 0 z. more from Melbourne. CONTRACT FOR MARINE CLOTHING AND NECESSARIES.

SOUTHWARK.—Mary Urnbert, 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 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. Combo 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 owithfe-at-night itt-the-river4e-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 ho 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. Li AT ERPOOL—MARcH 15.

In a previous summary 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 under : From Aug. 26 to Sept. 27 . From Sept: 27 to Nov. 15 . From Nov. 15 to Dec. 30 . Ounces. 366,193 471,339 496,103 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 3,998,321 "We may say, in round numbers, 4,000,000 oz., which, at 70s. per oz., is 14 ,000,0001. 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 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 proportion of suc cessful to unsuccessful diggers is not so 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, admitted fact. Th e amount as a very rich and will be a resort for many diggerswhohavefah field,iledat may the Mount. ‘‘ The now capabilitiesbedeemed o f an th eOvens, brought into Melbourne as has yet been comp ara ti ve ly small, but it is known that large quantities all ha reportsve been carried in atprivatelyattesting goverland richness h t o o e Sydney,ss ofthe loc a lit y. Th e Sydney papers state, for instance, that a gold buyer in that city lately purchased 500 ounces in one lot, from 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 known, but the limited extent of the deposits prevents any numerous party from engaging upon them. But the t hree fields already men tioned may be considered t he g ran d centres of gold digging operations in Victoria." ADELAIDE. The chief topics of interest 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 appearances, it would seem that the former of these topics 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 ordinary indus trial pursuits. The South Australian diggings at Echunga have proved, so far, to be just 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 regularly 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 which 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 rubbish 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 158/. ; they stand now at 150/. Gold-dust sells 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. We extract the following from the correspon dence of the Melbourne Herald:— " SYDNEY, DEC. 27. " Christmas has passed away quietly enough.

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 progresslreport of the select committee on immigration, In 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 now taking place, may have the effect of speedily relieving the employerg of labour required in the ordinary inclUstrial 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 facti.n that, notwithstanding the scarcity and dearness of labour, the harvest and tlie 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 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 - G,ootdrt)er - 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 information 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. FITzRor. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. MELBOURNE. JAN. I.—Notwithstanding the immense number of vessels arriving from all quarters of the globe, our sup plies are by no means adequate to the increasing con sumption caused by the daily influx of population.

( 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 41d. 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.

Cigars ma ty be quoted 82s. 6d. The market is some. what unsett led, importation being looked for. The to bacco market is tolerably well supplied, and prices not so firm. . Currantsbave been freely sold at Bd. and 9d. a pound ; but as a quaititity were imported too late for delivery for Christmas, it is probable this article will not maintain its price. T he 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 on 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 31. 10s. 6d. fir 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. - ( Frorn 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. Sorcie of the few parties left at Hanging Rock, in the north, appear to be doing extremely well, as much a 8 73 oz. and 46 oz. per week having been obtained. Ricky 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 there 'hitt lieeiiable" to geVto 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 Memo and Louisa Creek are on the increase, and Spicer's Creek is favourably men tioned. Our private advices from the south inform us tha t 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 mo re 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. _ Cc -2 SYDNEY SHIPPING.
