A late edition of the Melbourne Morning Herold
of Dec. 11 supplies intelligence from Ballarat to Dec.
18. The examination of the prisoners made during
the recent disorders had been cont'nued for several
dayr, and numbers had been released. Others had
been committed ; a few for high treason, some for
sedition. Among the latter, Mr. Seehansp, of the
Boadip Thoses. On the 9th, martial law
pee place to the ordinary civil govern
mot. Before retiring from the command, Sir
Robert Nieltle offered a reward of 8001. for the
sapture of Venn, one of the insurgent leaders, dead
or alive, provided it were made before the cessation
of martial law. Sir Robert had made himself popular
at the diggings, and many who saw the proclamation
et martial law with pain were sorry *ben it was
dinesadased. "There appears to be no doubt," says
the ertrespondent of the journal quoted, " that t 6
insurgents were the first to fire on the 3rd, and if so,
heavy as their pemiihmeat has been, they brought
it on themselves; but the feeling relative
to the widest of at lout some of the
mounted polite rendes unchanged." On the
Bth a eseedag was held at Bath's Hotel. to pe-
tition for a general amnesty. It was said that the
Right Rev. Dr. Ooold, who had arrived at Ballarat,
was the bearer of an amended set of rules for the ad-
ministration of the gold fields. These rules, which
had the sanction of the government, the bishop was
about to submit to the diggers. There was a report,
but it was thought an ungrounded one, that Venn,
the imorgeat digs, at the bead of a considerable
tore% had ousted a docked, in Waranoheps Forest.
