Warlike rumours still abound. The 23rd Regiment of
the line, and a battalion of riflemen, forming part of
General Renault's division, has arrived at Marseilles.
Horses for the French Cavalry are to be purchased in
Tunis and Algeria. in which latter place the belief that
France is going to war is universal. Private accounts
from Lyons state that the musketry practice of the
troops, which usually does not begin till the month of
May is to commence forthwith in the division com-
manded by Marshal Castellane, whose head-quarters
are in that city. And the Paris correspondent of the
Express says :—" I learn from a private sonrce, in
which I place confidence, that the Emperor is preparing
tents, horses, arms, uniforms, Ac., to take the field in

BRITISH COLUMBIA.
VICTORIA, Vancouver.* Island, Dec. 21.
The Heaver arrived hat evening from Fraser River
with another large troop of half-faniiihed miners with !
long and well-filled !Dunes, who bring down fresh i
tidings of suffering and death. They picked up keven
bodies frozen stark on the trail, and were constrained to
leave behind others disabled by inanition and ezhaus-
thin from making any exertion ; but they candidly con-
few they all exposed themselves to a similar fate from
the reckless way in which they hung on to their claims,
in the face of obvious danger and without any reasonable
means of averting the imminent peril. As a last re-
source each party clubbed what clothing and provisions
it could wisibly Kpare for its flintiest member, who
was selected to reinain behind in the wildernesi a
tary sentinel, guarding, at the risk of life, the hidden
treasure tiow under the frozen seal of the season. Those
scattered. isolated heroes are, it is believed, the only men
at present in the gold fields of British Columbia on the
I upper Fraser; and where inen voluntarily consent to
I incur such fearful risks and undergo such Awful priva•
Cons they must be well manned of their reward.
