HOLLowAY'S PILLS.—At this season of the year derange-
ments of the bowels ver prevalent. y arising from
eating too frequentlyare of fruit or vegetables.frequentl This disorder, if not
checked at the commencement, often leads to unpleasant conse-
quences ; therefore those who suffer from it should take a few
moderate doses of Holloway's Pills, which is the finest medicine
known for such complaints, as they quickly remove the cause,
strengthen the tone of the stomach, and permanently renovate the
digestive organs. As a family medicine, these Pills stand pre-
eminent, and should be kept for use by all classes of society.

reported to be both light in quantity and the Wool is not so
sound as usual, the healthy growth having been checked by
the severity of the season. The next public sales of Australian
and other fine Wools commence in London on the 6th July.
The prospects for this article are good, and, according to the
prices paid at the late German Wool fairs, a considerable
advance might reasonably be expected, if the quantity to be
brought forward were confined within reasonable dimensions ;
but with such a liberal supply as 70,000 bales, the result must
be attended with much uncertainty, and will, no doubt, show
considerable irregularity in prices.
Messrs. JOSEPH ROBINSON and Co. say

Considerable animation has been manifested in the Wool
market throughout the month, both home and foreign buyers
having willingly operated, at advanced prices, to a large ex-
tent, which has reduced stocks to that degree as to seriously
impede business, there being little choice, and several descrip-
tions are completely exhausted. The English clip is over ; in
Scotland, the shearing is progressing. At the fairs already
held, buyers have been eager purchasers ; and farmers (from
the high prices of grain and stock ruling for some time) are
in a positiom to hold, so that high prices have been demanded
and obtained : but the majority prefer, yet, to wait events,
rather than to accept the late advance, and their views may be
correct, as it is known that manufacturers generally are very
scantily supplied.
METALS.—There is little in this market on which
to comment. The preliminary meeting of the Staf-
fordshire ironmasters on Thursday was not nume-
rously attended, and the general opinion was to
make no change in prices. An improved demand is
anticipated.

OUR IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.

THE Board of Trade returns, which have just been
published, showing the extent of our Export and
Import trade, up to the end of May, may be viewed
either favourably or otherwise, according to the par-
ticular bias with which they are considered. In
comparing the declared value of exports for the five
months of each year, there appears a falling off of
auuul tour millions, ;Jut, nnvnpar;csork
to the month of May, the decrease is only £372,950,
a decrease which is even less than might have been
expected, when all the attendant circumstances are
taken into consideration. This is further shown in
taking the several items into account—for while
woollen manufactures, metals, haberdashery, and
hardwares, are the principal articles on which there
is a falling off, cotton wholly and partly manufac-
tured and several other articles show an increase.

The decrease may be attributed to the pause which
has taken place in shipments to Australia ; but, on the
other hand, it must be remembered that trade is in a
more healthy state, being of a boa fide and less of a
speculative character, and that without doubt the re-
turns will be far more remunerative to shippers than
during the period with which the comparison is made.

It was hardly to be expected but that the long pro-
tracted operations of the war and the absorption of
shipping for the transport service would have some
influence on the extent of our export trade ; but there
is nothing in the facts as elicited by these returns
which offers the slightest ground for despondency ;
and as the decrease on the one month is so much less
in proportion than on the five months, the most satis-
factory evidence is afforded of an improvement, a
result which will, no doubt, be more progressive
should the continuance of fine weather realise the
hopes of an abundant harvest. Indeed, we have rea-
son for thankfulness, that, notwithstanding our being
engaged in active warfare by sea and land with the
next greatest State in Europe, our commerce has met
so little interruption.

With reference to the quantities imported and re-
tained for home consumption of articles for food, the
differences are not very great. There is a falling-off
in wheat and flour, which is easily accounted for;
there is also a decrease in sugar, owing to the large
quantities taken in the preceding months, but, with
these exceptions, there is little change to note. Tea,
cocoa, wines, spirits, fruits, &c., show an increase ;
coffee, rice, and tobacco, a slight decrease : so that, on
the whole, the ability of consumption has experienced
no sensible diminution. In the comparative Imports
of raw materials for manufactures, hemp and tallow
show a considerable increase ; but other articles have
diminished. These branches of trade are, however,
influenced by extraneous circumstances, over which
we have but little controul, and can, therefore, hardly
be taken as a criterion of commercial prosperity.

A SUCCESSFUL DIGGER.

A gentleman from Bendigo describes that digging as like
a country fair five miles long ; men, women, and children, all
mixed amongst tents and huts of all sorts, with horses, and
bullocks, and drays, and butchers' shambles, and the earth
turned upside down everywhere, and vast quantities of gold
got. The great nugget of 281 b. was dug there. Mr. Gilbert
did all he could to persuade the man who found it, to entrust
it to the care of the Gold Office till it was disposed of, and
then to let him get the money invested for him—but in vain.
He soon began to drink ; got a horse, and rode all about,
generally at full gallop, and when he met people, called out to
inquire if they knew who he was, and then kindly informed
them that he was ' the bloody wretch '—that was his phrase—
' that had found the nugget." At last he rode full speed
against a tree, and nearly knocked his brains out. He is a
hopelessly ruined man.

- The life of a " digger" Mr. Howitt describes as
being one of great labour, and almost unmitigated
hardship, the latter frequently much exaggerated
by improvidence. Of the diggings" themselves, we
have many and graphic delineations, of which the

THE MODE OF WORKING IN THE " DIGGINGS."

, No language can describe the scene of chaos where they
principally are. The creek, that is, a considerable brook, is
diverted from its course ; and all the bed of the old course is
dug up. Then each side of the creek is dug up, and holes
sunk, as close to each other as they can possibly be, so as to
leave room for the earth that is thrown out. These holes are
some round, some square, and some no shape at all; the sides
having fallen in as fast as they have been dug out. They are,
in fact, pits and wells, and shapeless, yawning gulfs, not three
or four feet, as in the tempting accounts from Mount Alex-
ander, but from ten to thirty feet deep. Out of these the
earth has to be drawn up in buckets ; and some wind them
up with windlasses, rudely constructed out of the wood that
grows about ; and others haul it up with blocks and pulleys ;
()fliers, and the greater number, merely with their hands.
The diggers themselves generally ascend and descend by a
rope fastened to a post above, and by holes for their feet in the
side of the pit. Many of these holes are filled, or nearly so,
with water, filtering from the creek. It is black as ink, and
•has a stench as of a tan-yard, partly from the bark with which
they line the sides of their holes. In the midst of all these
holes, these heaps of clay and gravel, and this stench, the
diggers are working away, thick as ants in an ant-hill. You may
imagine the labour of all this, and especially of keeping down
these subterranean deluges of Stygian water. The course of
the creek is lined with other diggers washing out their gold.
There are whole rows, almost miles, of puddling-tubs and
cradles at work. The earth containing the gold is thrown
into the puddling-tubs=half-hogsheads—and stirred about
. with
_water, to dissolve the hard lumps, when it is put through
the cradle, and the gold deposited in the slide of the cradle,
then washed out in tin dishes. It is a scene of great bustle
and: animation. We saw some parties who had washed out in
- the course of the day .11b. weight of gold, others 6 or 6 oz.;
and so most of them had some golden result.

Among the " diggers" tricks of all sorts are resorted
to, and none is more common than those adopted to
entrap new -comers into the purchase of unproductive
" holes." The most frequent of these is the pretended
finding of " nuggets," which have been purposely de-
posited, and opportunely found when thel intended
victim is at hand. On such occasions a great shout-
ing is set up, and the surreptitious "nugget" is pro-
duced with the greatest effrontery as the genuine fruit
of that locality in which it has been cunningly
deposited. Mr. Howitt gives numerous sketches illus-
trative of the demoralisation prevalent among these
" diggers," and thus sums up the matrimonial pros-
pects of female emigrants :

DIGGERS' MARRIAGES.

As to girls marrying, here—the great temptation—that is
