I KORB NEWS FROM THE AUSTRALIAN
DIGGINGS.
•
'By the Stebonbeath, which has just landed her
nabs tress Port PPilip, we have Melbourne journals up to
thil 20th of April.
4,Coording to an official statement, published in the Met-
-404,1111 Arrlde of the 2nd of April, the quantity of gold ez-
ted from the provisos of Victoria frogs the time of the
flat discovery of gold up to March, 1662, was 663,471
ounces—vie., 129,965 to London, 3,412 ounces to Hamburg,
12'2,584 ounces to Sydney, 1,488 ounces to Hobart 'rows,
and 6,038 ounces tp 4dclalde Frppt the cotrunenesineot
of the escort systenrfrilin the Ballarat' iggings September
30, 1861, to the 31st of March, 1862, 32,286 ounces of gold
had arrived at Melbourne and Geelong, and from the 29th
of October, 1661, to the 31st of March, 1862, 261,808
ounces bad en ived at Melbourne and Geelong from the
Mount Alexander Diggiags. Up to the 29th of February
hut 62,4131. Bs. bad been paid for licences end escort fees
in connexion with the diggings at Ballarat, Mount Alexan-
der, Anderson's Crook, and Murray District. The Net-
bourne Morning Herold of the 26th of March Ism states
that the Mount Alexander escort, which strived in
Melbourne on the 24th of March, brought 13,408 ounces
' of gold, and tho Ballarat escort 276 ounces. The same'
L paper states the, according to the Adelaide journals of the
16th of March last, the total deposits of gold up to that
' time at the Assay Ogles amounted in value to
' 33,4861410 a. 2d. The Geelong Advertiser of the same date
states that a rich spot has been accidentally found within
a mile of Buninyong. The Burabank mailman, having
lost his horses, want to look for them. Having got • sight
of one, he pulled up • tuft ofgrass to hold out to tho horse,
when he saw two good sized nuggets among the roots.
Following up the search, ho found 16 more, and took some
of the clay into Buninyong, where it was washed, and •
quantity of fine gold obtained. There is no water near
the place at present, and the discoverer has been advised not
to point out the spot until the rain comes. The same jour-
nal says that the popalstion of Ballarat inereams slowly,
but the line of country northward to Mount Alexander is
filling up, Creswiek's Creek, about 15 miles from Ballarat,
being the nearest favourite.
In consequence of the great robbery of gold on board the
Nelson, the insurance offices have declined insuring
against the risk of robberies in harbour.
We hays received the following letter by this arrival :

Mabsea's Bay, Port Phillip, Victoria, April 7, 1852.
As the Seshearmth is reported to be nearly ready
for sea I send you • few lines to give you some little idea
of my whereabouts and proceedings. I have already sent
one letter announcing my arrival, after a tolerably corn-
hrtable voyage. I have now to add that matters are going
M satisfactorily. Nearly all my people have been engaged
at high wages, and have given efneral satisfaction. My
poen women [the young women referred to are those who
want out in the Lady Elgin] have behaved very well, and
haws been orderly aad quiet at the depot.
Ma whole place is in • vast bustle. Many large ships
an lying here deserted by their crews, and here they are
likely to lie till the rainy season drives the Jack Tars down
again from the diggings. About 30,000 persons have ar-
rived in the eolooy from neighbouring parts, and amongst
them many rogues and vagabonds. It is confidently reck-
oned that above three thousand convicts have come over
from Van Diewen's Land, to the groat annoyance of the
colonists here. Scarcely a day passes in which some person
or other is not knocked on the head, assaulted, or robbed ;
and it is by no means sato to be out of doors after dark.

Jackson and Rae, the agents for the ship, have also offered
a similar sum. It is said 15 men have been arrested on
suspicion, doubtless well worthy of punishment, even
though innocent in this matter. It is supposed they
attacked the Nelson by mistake, as they expressed them-
selves surprised at not finding more gold on board. Their
object had been the Admiral, which had jest sailed with
about 100,0001. worth of gold. More care will doubtless be,
taken in future : the gold should not be placed on board
till the ship is quite ready to sail, and it should be placed in
• strong safe, one of Chubb's for instance ; and the quantity
shipped should not be published till the vessel has really,

oak at reasonable distances, and means are in progress for
a regular escort to bring the gold to Adelaide, and also to
have a direct postal oontinunication. These measures meet
with general approbation; Sir Henry's regalation, however,
setting • higher prim on the sold than it fetches, either
her. or at Sydney, is by some considered inexpedient in
policy. I have Called and seen Captain Chisholm, who is

OLDHAM Ecacnott.—Mr. Heald. the late candi-
data ifs Btoskport, has been in personal comminnicatiou
will the wNsesen of the late Mr. Duneuft, but it is re-
' Wiwi Ad will not go to a contest unless a requisition,
signed by a majority of the electors, is forthcoming. Ad-
dresses, signed by the tory radical party, have been pla-
carded, urging that it is the duty of the radicals to support
• conservative candidata. On Thursday evening a meeting
was held to receive a deputation from Stockport, and to
hear the political character of Mr. Heald. Mr. Ogden, 4
cotton spinner, took the chair, and introduced the depute-
tirm to the meeting. Mr. J. Baxter Langley, at great
length, exposed the inconsistency of Mr. Heals political
career, sad weed that his inattention to his political
duties rendered him totally unworthy of the support of
the electon of Oldham. His address, and those of the
other members of the deputation, were received with en-
thusiasm by • very crowded assembly.
