GOLD IN SIBERIA.--.The Irkogetsk Gazette publishes
an interesting account of the working of the gold mines
in Eastern Siberia in the year 1851. The quantity of
gold extracted was upwards of 1,134 poude (the pond
is nearly 341 b). This was 87 pounds less than in 1858.
The nunibet of companies occupied in extracting gold
was 160, and there were employed 26,112 men and 572
women belowing to the Government of Siberia, and
5,081 men and 29 women from Great Russia. The
total number was nearly 5,000 fewer than in the pre-
ceding year, and the falling off was caused by the dear-
ness of provisions. In the course of the year 1,077
nlen engaged took flight, but 308 of them were captured,
Eitid4+s persons died. The number of horses employed
was 12,2.84.

ESCAIT or A rAVONER FROM LONGFORD GAOL.—
On Saturday night, or enfly ow Sunday morning last, a
prisoner named Pat Quinn, who had been undergoing
twelve months' imprisonment for booing violently
assaulted and injured a man in the town of Ballymahon,
made -a most successful escape from confinement. A
eppeats that after "the bird had town" an inquiry wee
instititted into the most probable means of his escape,
when it wasasCenititted that the prisoner had found and
secreted part of an ofd tielLle, in which he ingeniously
cut-some teeth, and with this instroment he contrived
to cut one of the iron bars of the window of his cell.
Having thus gained egress, he crossed the wall sod made
his escape. Mr. Morrow, the governor of the priaun,
took the most prompt means of securing his re-arrest,
and bath he and the police force have since laboured
ineeistititly to discover his whereabouts: There is
a report that he itaz been arrested near Ballymahon, the
scene of the assault.

HEARTRENDING SCENES AT A riFit: About two
a.m. on a Sunday morning, a boarding house in Castle-
maine, Australia, was discovered to be on ftre, and the
flames spread with such rapidity that the premises were
consumed in' a few minutes. Four of the inmates,
dnferttinateiy, were unable to escape_ A brother about
td esedVe trdni the burning house found that his sister
was unable to cto, act. fie returned to her assistance,
and both perished in eadi other's arms. A young
couple to be married the next day, ttha were boarding
in the house; had retired to rest, when they -were
disturbed from • their slumbers- by the _awful cry of
"Fire," and.in a few seconds a charred and mutilated
corpse, scarce capable of recognition, was all that
remained of her who on the niorrow was to be a bride.
The intended bridegroom made frantic efforts to save
her, hilt Oitheart avail, and he was removed with one of
his hands frightftiliy burnt. The sight was of a most
heartrending description. Cfd one side was heard a
person moaning who had jumped mit of a window and
broken his leg, while several women in their night
dresses and covered with blood, from the injuries they
had received in escaping from a dreadful death, added,
by their lamentations, still more to the horror of the
scene.

GA DIMIS AND APPEARANCE.—When I
went to see Ciarihildi a second time yesterday, in-Order
to ask him for the " laissee-passer,". he was no longer the
serious, absent mani whom I had seen a short time before,
but chirping and cheery, and humming an air, his con-
stant custom—the aide-de-camp •Brandt assured me—
almost the whole day when working alone, or not giving
formal audiences. This time I teok a good look at him,
and he did not give me the impression of being more
than from 35 to 38, though I know that his real age is
52. Of all the-Pictnres I have seen of him, that on the
Cover of the little shilling life published in London is
the best. The figure at Madame Tussand's would be
perfect did it pot convey the idea of too small a fore-
head. But he no longer wears his •hair as he
used to do, in the long locks " a la Nazarirre," but very
short. • There is no change in the beard. Mid now let
me describe his appearance and dress with the precision
due to the remarkable attire of so remarkable a man.
He wears light grey pantaloons, with a red cotton shirt,
fastened by five small mother-of-pearl buttons, and a
silk handkerchief with different colours on a violet
ground,lightly tied by two knots on•his left shoulder,
the other two ends hanging loosely over his right. He
Wears on his head a hat of 'the kind called in Italy "
.pa-

juolo," of the colour of camel's hair, but so worn and
battered that many a man, without pretensions to a
dandy, would have considerable objections to such an
article of custom. It is, in plain Eaglish,," a shocking
bad hat." He does not wear any sword, at least at pre-
sent. Be walks with a step so rapid that his youngest
aides-de-camp have the greatest difficulty in keeping up
with him. This quickness of step images the quickness
of alibis movements, military or political, as the course
of the present expedition proves. The Washington of
Italy is no exception to the old saying that "no man is
a hero to his valet." The domestic of Garibaldi who
comes nearest that character informed ma confidentially,
that his "master is not without his weaknesses." He
is prodigiously particular about the eoloui and pattern'of
these same handkerchiefi, which he wears thrown ever
his shoulder. He is also very particular about the red
cloak, which he carries folded on bis left shoulder when
in company, and which he arranges with great care.
Hero Garibaldi'never changes his picturesque attire, and
it seems to become him far better than would any uniform
all bedizened with gold lice, and covered with orders
and stars.—Special correspondent of Ow Morning root.
