Dear Sir,—Our child, up to the age of eleven weeks, was very delicate and wasting away, and milk, sago, and arrowroot turned sour on its stomach, causing great suffer ing. We then fed it upon Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, which agreed wonderfully with her ; and she is now, at the age of nine months, a plump and lively little girl.—Daniel Servas. Wildervank, Holland, Sept. 20, 1853. Dear Sir,- Our baby, which Heaven presented us with ten months back, was attacked, when four weeks old, with a disease of the stomach and glands, by which our seven previous infants had all been carried off, and this last child seemed destined to follow its sisters and brothers before many days, for our doctor, a very able practitioner, had, during three weeks, ex hausted all his skill, and was at a loss what to prescribe next, when he advised Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, which, I am happy to say, worked a great change for the better in a few days ; and, in six weeks' time, the child was perfectly well, and is now a cheerful, blooming boy —a source of the greatest happiness to us all.

Y4sterday Mrs. Martha Bacon, the unfortunate woman charOd with the wilful murder of her two children — namely, Edwin Fullerßaco n , age d tw o y e ars and a half, and 'Sarah Ann Bacon, aged 11 mouths—was, brought up from ITereemonger-lane Gaol for further examination befois MA-. Elliott, at the Lambeth Police Court. The prisoner, whose general health seemed somewhat improved since her last'examination, was accommodated with a s eat at the end of the solici'.ore' table, and front ingthebeaub. While the witnesses were giving their evidence, she kept 'her eyes 'steadily fixed on them, but di n'ot utter a word, and even when the horrible scene which het house exhibited when the murders were dis. 'co e.red, and the shrieking state in which the poor little children were found - T .- were being described, she did not evince the, slightest emotion, Her husband, who was seated near to her, on . , the contrary, secured deeply affected, particularly at some portions of the evidence. Mr. Woodward, of the firm or Messrs. Taylor, Collin son, and Woodward, solicitors, of jolinstreet, Bedford. ro et, attended, and 'said he was present to watch the case at the request of the friends 'of Mr: Bacon, who were respectable persons at Stamford, in Lincolnshire. Since the last examination of the prisoner the case has astiurned a very serious as well as a tragic character—in the first place, from the fact of Mr. Bacon, the prisoner's husband's assertion that between the time of hi 4 leaving home, at a very early hour on the morning of Monday, to prnceod to'Reigate, and returning to his house on the Wednesday morning, it had been rubbed of a suit of clotheq, a watch, and 71. in clash ; and in the next fr om circumstances that, have occurred at Stamford, and from which it appears that the poor children who have unfor tueately become victims to the insanity of their unhappy mother have bad a narrow escape from destruction in another way - - 7 -- - Thahrtveirg - burnt to death. The Stant fOrd Mercury of last week, commenting on the report of tie former examination of the prisoner at the Police court, rays , " The above melancholy ease will be read with painful iotereet•in Stamford. The untortUnate woman is the wife of Thos. Fuller Bacon, formee.ly a whieestnith in this town. It will be remembered that some months ago Bacon's'houseion Peter's-hill was burnt in the night time, and that the poor children who have met midi an awful death were then removed from the burning premi.es by a feinale_servant, who was, with the father, apprehended on a charge of arson, but afterwards liberated, Bacon himself having been tried at the Lincoln assizes and acquitted. Mrs. Bacon was at that time in a lunatic asylnao, where she remained a considerable period." The witness. Harriett Payne, examined on the former day, was recalled, and her former deposition having been read over to her, she was further examined by the magic trite as to the expressions made use of by the prisoner when she first saw her on the Tuesday morning and sub- Hequently on her way to the station-house and to this court, but she could not recollect anything beyond her :saying that it was not she that did it, ; ut that a, man had entered the house by a back window, who had mur dered both her children, and endeavoured to cut her throat. The witness further said that the prisoner had .not enjoyed good health sine(' the birth of her youngest child, •and in June last she was sent up from Stamford to St. Luke's Hospital, and she , (witness) accompanied her there. She also frequently visited her while at St. Luke's, and on each occasion she used to inquire most affectionately for her children. She (the prisoner) was in the hospital from June to the 27th of October last, when she left, and after leaving accompanied her hus band into Lincolnshire, and brought her children to town. Her husband and herself at that time went to live in the neighbourhood of Covent-garden, and subse quently at Kennington. Mr. Elliott—You say the prisoner always anxiously inquired about and evinced great love for her children Witness—Yes, Sir ; she always did. Mr. Weeodward declined putting any question to this witness. , Police-constable W. H. Cook was next called, and, in addition to his former evidence, said that he took away two of the three knives he found on the breakfast table in the back parlour, where the eldest child was found. There were three knives on the table, but he only took two, as those were closest to the body of the child. The eldest child when found was sitting in an easy chair, a table placed close up to him, and his bead was resting on his arms on the table. There were some toys or play things on the table at the time, and more on the ground. In reply .to the questions of the magistrate this wit ness further said he had carefully examined the garden and hack part of the house, and could not trace the slightest marks of footsteps. He also examined the back windows, and found them so secure that no person could have entered the house by them. Of this fact the wit ness was the more certain from there being a quantity of dust on the window sills which had not been disturbed for a considerable time, and which must hare been re moved had anybody gut in. Mr. John Bushell, surgeon, of Kennington-lane, was next called, and the evidence he had given on the Tues day before read over to him. In addition to it he said that since the last examination he had examined the two knives produced by the constable with a powerful micro scope, and on one of them he could clearly discern globules of human blood, while the other Was perfectly free from any such stains. Mr. Ell4)6—Did the knife marked with these globules appear Sharp ? Mr. Bushell—lt was sharp, and it appeared to me as ;f it had been recently sharpened on a steel, or some thing of that kind. Mr. lushell further said that on examining the b Atom part of the nightdress belonging to the prisoner, and found in her bed in her room, he found it deeply stained with arterial and not venous blood, and it appeared to him as impelled on the part in a spirt, or jet, and not dropped there. Mr. Elliott—ls it your opinion, Mr. Bushell, that the prisoner inflicted the wounds on her throat herself, or that they were done by somebody else ? Mr. Bn•hell—lt is my decided opinion that they were done by herself, for bad they been done by another her exertions to protect nerself and prevent them would have caused them to he much more severe. Besides, she would have used her hands as her natural defence, and, if so, they would have been injureo. ; but on examining them I cannot discover a scratch. On Tuesday last, on examining her hands, I clearly saw the marks of blood about them, particularly on the left band and its finger nails, though the hands had been washed. Mr. Eiriott—Was the knife you have described such an instrument as the injuries inflicted on the deceased children, and which caused their death, might have in flicted with ? Mr. Bushell—Oh, certainly. Indeed, the prisoner her self said the injuries upon her were done with a knife. Mr. Woodward—l understand, Mr. Bushell, you avoided putting any questions to the prisoner. The case was then adjourned to a future day. LON D , WEDN ES D Y I.:AT EN 1 11% , G I JANUARY 7; 7. Tbirb 2btttoll SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock. AUSTRALIA. By the arrival of the Montmorency (announced elsewhere) we have received our letters and papers up to the 14th October. The Melbourne _Herald, of October 14th, says : " The City of Sydney, which arrived in Hcbson's Bay yesterday, brings intelligence how Sydney to the Bth. With the exception of the electioneering proceedings consequent upon the contests which were taking place for the seats vacated by the members of the new Minis try, on their accepting office, the news is uninteresting. "The revenue of the colony for the quarter ending the 30ih of September had been published. The total receipts during that period amounted to 281,0271:108.4d, being an increase on the corresponding quarter of 1855 of 13,645, 4s. sd. Th •"i;ioney was then pio !uced (eieht 50L notes, and some gold). Hard wicke gave 351. for each 50/. note, and the money was then divided between the four pre . sent, and the man who found the cheque. Shortly after I and Hardwicke went to Hamburg and changed the note. In the month of August I recollect a transaction • coming off on Messrs. Hankey. Hardwicke gave Saward a genuine cheque on Messrs. Haekev, and Saward found some blank cheques to match. Seward [ told me that he had received the cheque from Hard wicke, and that he (Seward) had some blanks that woeld fit. Au appointment was made, and we inet,in Bishow gate-ehurchyard In this transaction e only were ' concur. el. Seward' then produced 'three cheques to us in the passage leading from Biehopsgattechurchyard to Broad-street, and I b lieve those now produced .to. be the same. They were fur 501., 1001., and 1001.,. and drawn on Messrs. Hankey, and purporting to be signed by Mr. Baldwin per pro. of Smith and Knight. [This is the charge Anderson was apprehended on.] After leaving the churchyard we went to the Magpie public house in Bishopegaek -street. It was between 10 and 11 o'clock. We went into the small parlour at the back of the Magpie. Anderson was dressed. It was there pro posed thee Anderson should go - to the White Hart, opposite., and send the checque for 50/. from that place to be cashed. I and Hard icke were to watch the party to the bank. I saw Anderson go to the White 'Hart, Seward having previously given him Vie cheque for 501. I followed the boots who gave evidence on a former oc• casion to the bank and back. Hardwicke went into the bank with him to see all was right. I followed the young man back and on my way I called into the Magpie, where Saward and Anderson were waiting, and informed them of it. Anderson left and went to the White Hart, and speedily returned to the Magpie, and gave Seward three . 10/. notes, and 201. in gold. I took the notes to Mr. Baum, money changer, in Lombard -street, and had French money for them, and wrote my addeess, on theta as Henry Hunter, 42; Brick-lane, Spitalaelds.. The notes Pro duced With - that address on ehetelfeith'e same, I took the - French money back - t6-thS Saward then gave Anderon one of the cheques for 1001. Anderson then went with it to the Four Swans, Bishnpegate street. He went into the coffee-room, and I followed him in. He sat near the fire-place, and I sat near the door. I saw Anderson in conversation with the waiter, and saw him give the. cheque to English, the boots, to get cashed. Hardwicke at this time was waiting at the gateway. I and Hardwicke followed the boots to Messrs. Hawkings. I went into the bank, and saw the money paid. I went back to the Magpie, and in formed Anderson and Saward that the money was paid. Anderson then went to the Four Swans, and returned with six 10/. notes, and 401. in gold. All the money was paid to Seward. It was intended to have presented the third cheque that day, but it being f .und too late then to do so, it was postponed till the following M on day. The 1501 was divided on Saturday. Hardwick took the notes at 8/. 10s. each. On the Monday morning follow ing we all met at the passage leading to Gregory's Hotel in Cheapside. We then went to a public house in to ood street, and there Saward gave Anderson a cheque for 1001. Anderson went to Gregory's Hotel, and se , i a young man, who was engaged for the purpose, book, and afterwards with the cheque, as had 'een arranged. I followed the young man to the bank. The cheque was stopped, and I returned to Saward and An dereon at the public-house in Wood-street, and in: ".wed ' them of it. Shortly after I went down to Yar with Hardwicke, in consequence of Hardwicke bec , •. possessed of a cheque on Messrs. Dayton's bank a mouth. That cheque suggested what was called ness." Saward saw that cheque. We went to Yarn on business. Seward was aware of what we were g there for. We went there, a• d Hardwicke furnit himself with an introduction by paying n oley into of the banks in the name of James Ralph, I used • name of Atwood. He went to Messrs. Reynold a ' Co., solicitors, Messrs. Chamberlain, solicitors, at Messrs. Prestons, and instructed each of them to wri for a debt tie said was due to him, He went to Messr Miller and Son of Norwich, and did the same with them Tee name of the debtors were Henry Tones, 30 Union terrace, Bagnigge-wells-road, and Edward Dixon, 18 Aropton-street, Gray's-mu-road. The applications were made for 1001. Places had been taken in London where the letters could be received. These applications were made the latter end of January. Two letters produced; dated September, and purporting to be answers to two of the solicitor's letters at Yarmouth, ate, I believe, i; the handwriting of Saward. On our return to town w. met Saward and Anderson, and went with them to i public-house at the corner of Queen-street and Cannon• street. We there bad some chops and steak fur dinner, On that occasion writing materials were purchased, ani ' Saward wrote two letters in my presence. One is signer.: Jones and the other Dixon, announcing to the Yarmoutf7. solicitors the payment of the money into a London bankers' They bad been instructed to apply for it. Hard wicke thee', t paid in the two amounts an i. d :or a it t dt h r i n rd ; ba s y u n d m t h . uel t attorneys tT. and a , c e o r wioke then went to Yarmouth and received al • menet . te In consequence of what happened t'here we were take v in i - t c o te - d crto T d h e e , f t o h r r w ee ard le e t d t :cr - r. Yarmouth, demanding payment of the money, wev= given to me by Saward when Hardwicke and I can back to London. Before paying in the money (the le • ters produced are the Fame) I took the letters back 1' Yarmouth with me, and they were found in my posse sion when I was apprehended there. In my memo randum-book was found a 10s. stamp, a fellow one that put on the 1,000/. bill. Mr. Mullins said that was all the evidence this wi Leas would now give. • His Lordship—Saward, do you wish to ask this W eess any questions ? Saward—Yes. I wish to ask him whether he vo ever convicted of a criminal offence before this one Atwell—Am I bound to answer tliat question ? Mr. Mullins—Oh, yes ; tell us all about it. Atwell—Yes. It was for an attempted burglary, a had nine month s ' i m p r i sonmen t. William Salt Hardwicke deposed—l am a convirt, under sentence of transportation for life. Prior to t its I was in Brecon Gaol on a charge of burglary. I escaped, and was subsequently tried and c on. vici,ed of felony. I was sentenced to seven years' tra s portatian. I suffered that sentenc, s I obi fin ed my ticket and established myself in busi ess in the colony. Until this sentence I have ben in the habit of visiting England, and then ret n ,t ing to my business in the colony. I know he prisoner Saward, and have known him about tae ty five years. I knew him previous to my first sent ce of transportation, and in Rev ' °occasional visits to his country since that I h ave see n Saward. I know the prisoner Anderson, and first became acquainted with aim in June last. I arrived last i n this country on 25th ay, 1856, and took lodgings with my uncle in Nelsen-squ;nre, Biackfriars-road. A few days after my arrival, I Imet Saward in Suffolk-street, in the Borough. The staual salutation at meeting took place, and he a ; tked me why I had not called upon him. I told him, to the best of my recollection, that I never intend to call on you, from the manner you have treated me and another person. He replied, " Nonsense, old boy ; if you will advance a little money, I will put,' the passage-money back into your pocket, and p a y ci s n !I arrears." I held his 1.0. U. We agreed to meet `i:.' .. ther the following day in Farringdon-market, ath e a said he would introduce me to his party. I went )).-a , and was introduced by Seward to Anderson and A -. won for the first time. We all went to the Coach and U : • es, Farringdon-rnarket, and from thence to various p: .ess ; and arrangements were made for other met tinge. _ re collect going to a public-house in Guildford-areet, Southwark, known as the "beef-house," whi c h i at.ne arose from one of the party having had some i.eef there. I brought over to this country with - ea , a 2001. bill of exchange, drawn on Kinnaird ; and : ' d some blank forms with me such as are used s ae colony. I had also some seconds and thirds of e se - tine bills, the firsts having been paid. I gave the ~: ~ n al bill and some of the blanks to Saward, and als; ~ • ta of the old filled.up hills. They were given to la . • • . - ;,he purpose of forging the name on the original a .' - ice. I cannot say now where it was that I gave thee . aim. He returned them to me on the following da 'sing, "I have taken a copy of them ;" and on that c :; .c paid the 2001. into my account at Cautt's, where I h., I lied an account for some time. I have had transa.ctis .a jf the kind with Seward fur years past, Lona time t o time, and I understood what was to be d one v. iththern. The usual practice was to get aorne ins . per son to present the forged document. . 'ect being in Townend's shop (hatter), in r ... fide, with Anderson and Atwell. A young r; • ; med Clements came into the shop and asked for en • u tent. I followed him out, and asked him what 'tort of a situation he required, because I thought I li • .'s -. per son who could employ him. I informed s's. ederson and Seward afterwards what I had done. Clefuents told me he was just come up from Devonshire, and was looking for a situation. lie had lately lived therir with a person named Fortoscue. I afterwards e. slit to Clements' address and saw him. Anderson . . rte to Clements, appointing a meeting with _I, and to bring the Inote with him. Lodgings S ,d been taken to pass off the 1,0001. bill of exchange. I think Anderson then went by the name of Riley. The lodging was taken near De Beauvoir. town, Kiugeland. I recollect meeting Anderson, &sward, and Atwell afterwards in June, and going to a public house in the Englefield-road, Kingslan& The name of the house was the Sussex Arms. We went there about 9 o'clock in the morning and had some brandy and water. We were waited on by the landlady, who apo logised for the room not being ready at so early an hour ; pen and ink and the newspaper were called for and brought in. The newspaper was put into my hands. I produced a 201. note and Seward wrote a name and address on it; that was produced for the purpose of Anderson's giving it so Clements to get changed. Anderson took the note and left the public - house. At a subsequent period whilst the others remained at the Sussex Arms, Anderson left, and shortly after returned with 201. and two 10 shilling bill stamps ; when the stamps were brought back, be put one of them on the 1,0001. bill and wrote a receipt across it, he also filled in the dates on the face of the bill. Woe% recollect seeing the bill before I saw it at the Sussex Arms. Saward brought it there with him. The bill was given to Anderson, who took it with a bag to put the gold in, and gave to Clements to get it cashed. I went t ) the hank to see if it was paid ; I went to Messrs.., Hey woods' tank, and waited ottesisie for Cle,ments. At well came to me-and gave me notice of Clements arrival, and I followed hiM close into th 6; blank. I saw the money paid, and the gold was being put into the bag by the young man, when I went out an,d maile a signal to Atwell that all was right: AtWell'went'in. and then saw the clerk dinstging the ,bt,ig ofr motley. back from the young man. Witness then detailed, what occurred of erwards similar t) that of Atwell, anff "then stated that the failure with reßard to Mr. Turner in the first instancy areee frail Saward's want•of .funds, and at . Saward's r...quest I advanced 1051. fel= AtWell to empl°y Mr. Turner. I recollect being in Red 'Lion square one day, when Atwell was to call,at Mr, Turner's t r receive the money. •Saward, Anderson, and AtwcAl were there. Atwell pointed out . to . me Mr. Turner as he passed. Atwell followed Mr.' Turner, and male out with a cheque fer the amount less .the expenses. Saward had the note, and 'after " that -it was presented for payment, and my money, returned to me. There was a treaty with Saward and another man re specting some blank_cheques ci Messrs. : Gosling. They were given to Saward by the man in Lincoln's-inn fields. They were . ill filled up, arid I saw them in Sa ward's possession. Ou Saturday, 28tl. June, I was in the neighbourhood of Mesiris. Gosling's bank, and in consequence of a cotninupicatien made to me by Atwell I went into the bank, and I saw a young man present a cheque, purporting to be Signed by Mr. Turner, fer 4101. 7s. 4d , . bim paid and leave the bank. Whilst I remained .there after the young man was gone I saw the 'clerks compare the signature of the cheque that had been paid with some other. It was arranged where we should all meet after, bet by somehow or other I missed them, and did not keep my appointment. I know Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, Who lives:in 7 a passage in Union-street, Borough. Mrs. Dixon is a cou-in of mine, and in consequence of my wife not liking Saward it had been arranged the', he should leave messages and notes for me there. Having hissed the appointtrient I went to Dixon's, and as I as, leaving Saward met me, and .tuiskuke it, was all, right ; we then wept to a etoffee'shop in theLontthir: road, where I found Anderson, Atwell, and the man who stole the checks were waiting. The money was produced, and I bought the note', by the persuasion of Saward. I gave 35/. for each 501. note, and the money was then equally divided. I and Atwell went to Ham burgh and changed the notes, After that I became possessed of a cheque on Messrs. Hankey, signed by Baldai . I showed itto Saward, who said he could fit it, meaning he had some blank Ichequei. I left the original cheque in his possession till,the follow ing day, when his soil brought it back to me in an en velope ; afterwards a meeting was arranged, Saward having informed us the cheques were prepared. It was to come off on a Saturday. I am at a loss where we met, but I think it was at the usual house, the Magpie in Bishopsgate. We first met in Bishopsgate churchyard. I saw two cheques presented at Mesers. Hankey's and paid. After they were paid I returned to the Horse-Atoe and Magpie. Saward and Anderson were waiting there I think I purchased two o the notes. I changed four on that day at Spillman's. Two of them were my own, and two I bad from the produce of the forgeries on Messrs. Hankey's. After that t I and Atwell went to Yarmouth. The object was to get signatures for for gery. (The witness then detailed the whole of his pro ceedings at Yarmouth in similar. terms to Atwell, and corroborated him in all the facts connected with it.) Seward put several questions to the witness, but of no interest or bearing on the case. John Clements deposed that he lived at Kenton, near Exeter, and was now out of a situation. In June last he came to London to look for a cituation. He went to many places in the City, asking for employment, and amongst others that of Mr. To wnshend's, hatter, Cheap side. I there saw Hardwicke. He followed me out and asked me some questions, and I gave him my ::duress, Haddingt , --street, York-road, Lambeth. , A ay or two after received a letter, and in conse uence of that I ent to Mr. Colis, 3, Beecham alas, Buckingham-road, Ds Beauvoir town, Kingsland, nd then I saw Anderson ; the letter was signed in the tame of Riley. On my asking for him, I showed him e note, and he said this is concerning my situation ; i said you have been living with Mr. Fortescue is he a iergyman residing in Devonshire, I replied no, but be has brother a clergyman. He then said he was an agent Jr an Australian shipping company, and he wanted ame one to assist him and look atter offices. He had ,een looking for offices in the City, hut having been only a sh , rt time from abroad, he had not met with any to suit him. I was to call on the fol owing day, Saturday, and see him again. I did so. He was out, and I waited till he returned. He engaged me the day before at 255. per week, and to live'rent free in the offices. On Saturday the first thing I had to do was to go to the City and get change of a 201. note and bring two 101. adhesive stamps. After that he told me he should not want me till half-past 12 o'clock, and he sent me to the Lord Raglan public-house where I got some refreshments. When I -vent to his house he was not in. After waiting a few nil utes he came in and walked into an inner room. He Olen came to me, and gave me a bill or exchange for ~000/., which I was to get cashed. I was to bring him 1001., eight in 501. notes, and 1001. in gold. I rode to the City, rid I think Atwell rode by my side, but I can't swear to him. At the banking house I was detained. The prisoner declined asking the witnesses any ques tions, and they were further remanded till this day week. From the London Gazette of Last Night. BANKRUPTS.

"The yield of gold at the Fingal diggings dur ing the week ending Saturday last, was 121 ozs. The number of diggers employed is one hun dred, mo.t of whom are at the Nook, from whence 101 ozs. of the gold were obtained. A quantity of Fingal gold is exhibited in the window of Mr. Tozer's chop, Charles-street. The Hobart Town Advertiser of ' Tuesday has the following :—" A tangible proof that we have a gold-field in Tasmania may be seen in the window of Mr. David Barclay, in Liverpool-street. There are two dishes containing gold from the "Nook" and the " Black Boy" diggings, besi les one ingot which has been assayed at the Sydney Mint, weighing•about 16 ounces, and three smaller ones ' as well as a piece of gold rolled out 13 inches long and one inch broad. The quantity ,of dust received from Fingal yesterday was, about 51 ounces, the whole•of which is now on view at Mr. 13arclay'e establishment. We need no stronger evidence than the quantity of gold thus obtained, to prove that there is a gold field in Tasmania, only awaiting energy and perseverance to develop it. It is thi refore to be hoped that now the fine weather has set in, we shall soon hear of further discoveries, and more encouraging prospects, and we trust advantage will be taken of the summer season to examine every place likely to produce gold. As a further proof of the extent of the auriferous quartz reefs of the colony, we may mention that letters have been received in town, announcing that the writer had traced, in a district to the westward, one reef a distance of 17 mile. A bag con taining a small quantity is on its way to town to test its value. —Launceston Examine•. SPRING BAY GOLD. We are crcdibly informed by a gentleman from Spring Bay that a pie'ce of quartz, impregnated with gold, has been picked (up a few days ago by a constable's wife, near the New Coal Shaft, on the township of Triabunna. The quartz is in the possession of J. H. Vicary, Esq., J.P., who intends sending it to his Excellency the Go vernor in a few days.— B. T. Advertiser. TASMANIAN GOLD. We are glad to find that competent and gratify• tug intelligence has been received by the Tasma nia from tre Rev. Mr. Clarke relative to the value of the quartz of this colony. The analysis of speci mens from the westward, in the vicatity of the Frenchman's Cap, places beyond a doubt the certainty of there being valuable deposits of gold i❑ that locality. Several specimens of quartz were forwarded to the Rev.' Mr. Ciarke'tor analysis, and the result has proved the truth of the productions of Mr. Clarke made wore than five years ago. Some of the specimens yielded upwards of thirteen ounces to the ton. Every day adds fresh proof of the richness of the mineral treasures at our feet, only awaiting proper appliances to develop their inesti mable value. VICTORIA GOLD CIRCULAR. Saturday, 11th .October. The prices remain as before, viz. : S. D. Castlemaine and Bendigo Maryborough l iCorong Avoca Dunelly Fiery Creek J Ovens Ballarat 76 6 77 0 The gold brought to town by hand seems to be in creasing in quantity, more especially the quartz gold, of which several fine parcels have been received by us dur ing the week. A most decided improvement may be observed in the quality and melting loss of many of the parcels now forwarded to us ; some have been melted by as with a loss less than on the alluvial dust. During the week, propositions for a quartz fusion process have been brought before the public; the details of the method involve no new facts. This appears to us to partake more of a speculative purpose than a process reduced and elaborated by experience within practical limits. Some news of a rush to Malmesbury has reached us, but no certain intelligence of its value, has yet arrived. The crushing machine at Anderson's diggings will be completed in auout a fortnight from date. The expense of the plant will be little short of 3,000/., and we heartily wish them every success. There are some pro spects of new reefs being opened soon on the Yarra ;above and below the Creek. RECEIPTS PER ESCORT. Name of gold-field.

THE GOLD SEARCH ON KANGAROO ISLAND.—Captain Kirby returned yesterday in the cutter Good Intent from Kangaroo Island, having been obliged to forego for the present his intention of seeking for gold, in con• sequence of his not being enabled to find a sufficiently sheltered cove wherein to moor the cutter during a pro longed absence of himself and party in the interior of the island. He purposes making another start in the course of a month or two, when the weather shall have become milder.—Register. THE SAWARD FORGERY GANG. MANSION-HOUSE (TEIIS DAY). This afternoon the further examination of James Tovrnshend Saward and James Ander on was resumed before the Llrd Mayor, at the Mausion-house, charged with forging and uttering a bill of exchange for 1,0001., with intent to defraud Messrs. Hawkey and Co., bankers. Mr. Mullins appeared, on the part of the Committee of Bankers, to prosecute. The prisoners were unde tendrd. Twelve o'clock was the hour appointed for the corn ineecement of the proceedings, hut in consequence of the pressure of other business the prisoners were not placed at the bar till near 2 o'clock. Sward, on being placed at the bar, addressed Mr. Goodman, the Chief Clerk, saying that he feared, in his high state of excitement on Saturday, he had spoken discourteously to him, and be begged to apologise for it. The examination of Atwell was then proceeded with. He said that the second I 0 U given to Mr. Turner to recover, was written at a publio-house in Duke-street, Lincoln's-inn Fields. Hardwick, Anderson, S-Avarcl, and I were present. After it was written it was rubbed over the table to give it a dirty appearance. I received of Mr. Turner, on 24th June, a cheque for 1031.85. 104., which I gave to Seward, and he returned it to me again in abet an hour and a half afterwards. I then took it to the bank and got it cashed, receiving a 1001. note, and the rest in money, in exchange for it. I gave the note to Hardwicke, as it iwas his money that was advanced to pay the I 0 U. Immediately after this three or four persons were written to in answer to advertisements, and a lodging was taken near Newing tonezescent, as one of the places where the parties were to come. The cheque produced, for 4101. 7s. 4d. I first saw on the day it was to be presented to Messrs. Gosling's for payment. On the same day I was in com pany with Anderson and Seward, near Morning ton-crescent. The cheque purported to be signed by Mr. Turner, and at the time two other cheques were prepared. On Ssrurday, June 28, I went in the neigh beerheori of the University Hotel, near Go wer-street, Tottenham-court-nad, where a young man was to come by arrangement with Anderson. Hardwicke was to be in Fleet -street waiting near Gosling's bank. Saward was a party to the arrangement. I followed a young man from the University Hotel to Messrs. Gosling's bank in Fleet -street. The three checks I have men tioned were in the possession of Seward. Hardwicke went with the young man into the bank, whilst I ire= g n t l :l7- c c o a u ln r t e remained outside. When the check was paid, Hard wicke made a signal to me it was " all right." when n ; the n ar A t e r l g o u tfollowedstopped dh him,im , and and he gave the money to Anderson. In case of success it bad been arranged that we should meet at a publichouse near the Haymarket. All met there but Hardwicke, and after waiting some time we left and went to a coffee-house in the London-road, but before doing so Seward left to find Hardwicke, and returned with him. Naval alio Mimary Intelligence. In consequence of the large number of troops who were required in the Crimea during the late war the authorities at the War office were unable to complete the regiments serving in India to their proper establish ment, but the Duke of Cambridge has now given direc tions for the whole of the regiments on the Indian es tablishment to 1,13 raised to their war strength as early as possible. With this view volunteering has coin menced from all those regiments on the borne station which are above the prescribed establishment. Up wards of 600 volunteers have arrived at the Provisional Battalion, Chatham, for the purpose of joining the various Indian depots of that garrison. Her Majesty's steam sloop Hermes, 6.

The Stromboli, 6, steam sloop, Commander Barges', will be paid off this day at Portsmouth. Her Majesty's steam blockship Pembroke, 60, Capt. Fraser, will be "paid down" or " advance" this day at Portsmouth, after which she will proceed for Leith Reads on Coastguard service. The iron steam troopship Megaara, 6, Commander Purvim, is getting on very fast in her rigging and outfit at Portsmouth. She has her topmasts pointed and top mast rigging over the mastheads. The Simeon], 18, iron steam troopship, Commander Cooke, is taking in provisions and stores at Portsmouth for foreign service. The gun-boats Pheasant, Master-Commander Henry W.

Yesterday a special meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held in No. 1 Committee-room, ; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The first business transacted was to rescind the re:•;o• lotion come to on the sth of December, viz. :—" That the letter and resolution from the vestry of St. George, Hanover-square, respecting the site of offices, dated 2d Dec., be not i eceived." The said letter and resolution from the vestry, of St. George, Hanover-square, dated. Dec. 2, 1556, were then received. The board then proceeded to consider the requisition signed by Messrs. Seeley, Carpmael, and others, raising the question concerning the site of offices fur the board. A very long discussion ensued between the members of the Greek-street and the Farringdon-street parties ; five divisions took place, and in the end the question was left where it was found. DISCOVERY OF A BED OF FOSSILS.—As some men were getting out clay for bricks on the farm of Mr. Greaves, of Tingewick, Bucks, a few days ago, they found several strata of fossils, and having never seen such queer things before they sent some to Mr. Stowe, surgeon of Buckingham, to know what they could be. He examined a great number of them, and pronounced them to be marine vegetables, fungi, and algae, and foci, which bad either grown where they were found or had been washed out of the Chiltern chalk range and drifted to that locality. This opinion was strengthened by their being all striated with thin layers of chalk, and being composed of marl, which is a mixture of clay and chalk. The colour and the shape of many of tnem are so like that of biscuits that they deceived persona at table, but their variety of shape is fantastic beyond description and their number immense. Specimens have been submitted to several competent examiners, who cannot at present classify them accurately till their structure has been de cided by microscopic examination, being unlike any known fossil , yet depicted or described in g eological or botanical works or any that have come under their ob-er vation before. Many years age a large deposit was found at the Isle of Sheppey on the Thames, but they were tropical in their origin, and consisted of cocoa nuts, fruits, spices, &c., to the extent of 700 varieties, which were catalogued by a Mr. Crow, and recorded in the "Philosophical Transactions." We are authorised to say that Mr. Stowe would send specimens to any institu tion or individual who takes an interest in such matters rail. —Oxford Jounua. 013 their paying the carriage by 1, ( i r,~o SPORTING NOTES. THINGS TALKED ABOUT. Steeplechasing for many seasons has furnished a long , record of chicahery and mal-practices, but of all the I daring dodges which were ever coticoced by the jumping fraternity foi duping the public those which have been recently brought to light in connection with the Waltham Abbey affair are, perhaps, the most disgraceful. Surely the homely saying about rooted quarrelling and honest men heiiring the truth never received a more strtkit g illustration than with reference to the very pretty quar rel which existed amongst the people connected with the recent Waltham Steeplechase ; and it is hard to conceive that any person should be so indifferent to the opinion a f the public as the man who could deliberately publish to the world his participation in schemes the most dis creditable and dishonest. Mr. Reynolds, "the owner of Janus," seems to have taken but a poor revenge when he exposed the "arrangement" which he was willing to enter into ; and amidst the shout of in&gnation which his precious epistle has raised, he may well exclaim, with the lady in the play, "Oh, that foc.liih letter—l 'could cut my fingers off for having written it." Rad the steward decided the matter in favour of Janus would Mr. Reynolds have been eager t- make the public acquainted with the facts ? Racing men are, after all, easy dupes, and experience seemingly has for them no lessons. After their Sairnw ventures and previous " doings" at Wal t h im might have been expected that they would .not have so readily fallen into the hole that was pre pared for them. They, however, allowed them selves to be " sportingly " garotted, and with as much quietness nod submission, as the ducks waggled up to the old lady when she shouted, "Dilly, dilly, come and be killed." Certain members of the jumping frattr nity have, however, now made their last dying speech. and confessi , n, and the public, for a time, will not, per haps, be again victimised. Mal-practices in the steeple chase world, however, are soon forgotten, and evil doers, by a few months' quietness, obtain a ticket of leave to prey again upon the unwary and uninitiated. The jumpers of the Waltham Abbey fraternity must have a care, or one day they might be indicted for a conspiracy to, &O. The Chester Cup bas closed with 187 subscribers — nine less than it obtained last year. The numetical falling off is, h?wever, more than counter-balanced by the character of the animals entered, and if Mr. Top:iam only executes his difficult task of handicapping with his wonted ability, the interest of the race will be undiminished. Neatly every horse backed figursli among the nominations the exceptions are M..D. (s , ho it is riporte , i has recently become the prope-rty of Mr. Howard) and one or two others of item importaLce. ;'hr entry for the Liverpool Steeplec h ase may also be deemed numerically satisfactory, albeit the list shows what a " plentiful scarcity" there is of real steeplechase horses—animals capable of following the It Funds witk any respectability over a stiffish country. The Metro politan, City and Suburban, Gieat Northern Handicap, and Northamptonshire Stakes closed yesteriay, and at the time I write no list of the nominations has been placed before the public. Within a year four members' of the Bell's Life staff of reporters have been stricken down by %he hand of death. Mr. John Ruff went first, then followed suc cessively Mr. Frank Clark, Mr. William Ruff, and now, only four days after the death of the last-mentioned gentleman, Mr. Massey has also died. The deaths of these gentlemen bear ample testimony to the living labours and exertions which the reporters to the sport mg press are compelled to undergo. Since the above was penned I have received the entres for the Warwick Spring Meeting, and I am glad to state that Mr. Merry has used his well-known tact in preparing his programme and filling his stakes. There are 44 nominations for the Steeplechase, and 47 for the Hurdle Race. Of the legitimate events, the Great Warwick has obtained 30 subscribers, the Willoughby 23, and the Two-years-o,d Stakes 11. So far as lam at present able to judge indeed the turf prospects for 1857 are most cheering. Speculation on Derby and Chester Cup is at a dead lock. On the former event no important demonstration seems likely to be made until the weather breaks, and horses are enabled to resume work, and on the latt r betting will not be briskly pursued until aftvr the pub lication of the weights, which the official list announces will be declared in due time. Jan. 7 A FRESH MAN. BETTING AT MANCHESTER—TuEsDAY. Considerable time was taken up in making preliminary arrangements for the future conducting of the Subscrip tion-room, and di ,, cussing.the probable weights at which several horses will be handicapped for the Chester Cup. For the Darby, 2,500 to 250 was taken about Lord Clitden's lot, which includes Loyola, Beeswax, and Blue Devils colts ; 3,500 to 35 was taken about Pyrrhus the Second, 550 to 25 about M.D., 450 to 15 about Gold finch, and 300 to 6 about Blue Jacket. We were informed that 50 to 1 was taken to upwards of 201. about Comeoian. The odds against horses for the Chester Cup continues much the came as they were before the entries appeared, nor is it likely that much more betting will be done, or any great change take place until the weights are published for tbat event. To-day 1,000 to 20 was taken each about. St. Giles and Centurion, that price and sum were offered each against Alice Wentworth and Miucepie, 1,000 to 15 would have been taken about either of them. 100 to 7is offered on the field for the Liverpool Steeplechase, and 100 to 6 bar Escape-200 to 10 was taken about Minerva.

THE GALES. We regret to state that the gales which burst forth with such fury along the coast on Saturday night and Sunday continued with awful violence up to yesterday morning, and, as anticipated, the catastrophes that they have occasioned at sea are most appalling. Throughout the whole of Monday night a most terrific gale from the N.E. to N.N.E. swept the North Sea, and the upper part of the English Channel. In the Downs the weather is described to have been truly awful, the gale being accompanied by heavy falls of snow, the sea running tremendously high. Among the many casualties that have happened, it is feared must be enumerated that of the total loss of the Royal Mail (Continental) Steam Packet Company's steamer Violet, on her passage on Monday night from Oetend to Dover. The Violet, it appears, left Ostend harbour, with the Belgian mail on board, be tween seven and eight o'clock on Monday evening, and was due at Dover at midnight. From the time of her leaving not the slightest tidings have been heard of her. At daybreak yesterday morning a fisherman descried a wrecked vessel on the outer edge or southern spit of the Goodwin ; but in come queuee of the fearful sea that raged round it he could not approach near enough to ascertain more clearly the character and size of the unfortunate vessel. Her foremast was still standing, and it was evi dent she had struck on the sand d uring the night. Lloyd's agent at Ramsgate subsequentl obtained oteer infnrma tiou, and in the sour-e of yesterday he telegraphed to Lloyds that a vessel was on the Goodwin, supposed to be the Ostend mail steamer. This and her absence, cou pled with the fact that the vessel lies yearly in the track, within two or three wiles, of the mail steamers' course between the two ports, leave very little doubt but what the ill-fated vessel was no other than the Violet, and, what is more deplorable that not a single soul on board was spared to tell the fate of the ship. She was com manded by Captain Lions, one of the most experienced masters on the station, and tnanntd by a crew of 17 to M hands. The company have reason to believe that she had very fewhave passengers on b oar d , an d among them is been r. Hiekle, a Parli amen t ar y re porterl.ning Herald, w h o was return i ng w i th hi s wife and fam i ly after a urief so j ourn on t h e Conti nent. The wreck lies to the southward of the beacon, supposed on the .!110 and as before noti ce° , w i th i n a mile or so (a difference easily to be accounted for by the formidable state of the weather) of the true course to Dover. Those connected with the trade infer that Captain Lions had reached that spot about midnight, when it is supposed that he en countered the heavy snow storm, and amidst it unhappily the ship got on the sand. She had three boats, and was fitted with every appliance for the preservation of life ; but in such a night, with a mountainous sea breaking over the vessel, it would be hopeless to render them available for the rescue of the unhappy creatures on board. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR —I beg to send you the latebt intelligence with respect to the less of a mail packet off the Goodwin Sands. Copy of telegraph from Ramsgate, received M seven p.m., Jan. 6, 1857 : " One of the wail packets supposed from Ostend, was lost off the Goodwin Sands last night ; all hands drowned. Thre, bodies found attached to a life buoy. Wreck lies on sand." In the absence e j more positive information it is im p issihle to say thaTthe mail packet referred to is actually the Violet. In consequence of the derangement of the sub-marine electric telegraphic cable, we have no report of her departure from Obtend ; but I have reason to believe that the loss is that of the Violet, for she was due at Dover, with the Mails from Ostend on Monday Light at twelve o'clock, and up to a late hour this even iug had n t arrived. It is, of c urse, impossible to FUgg eSt any other cause of this tearful and di,tressing calawity than the para. ly sing; and blinding influences of the drifting snow gal e .
