GOLD IN NOVA SCOTIA.

--
The following is an extract of a mercantile letter
from Halifax regarding the present state of the
gold fields of Nova Scotia :
I have to report very favourable accounts from the gold
fields generally. A lead has been discovered on the Carr
lot, on the lands of Townsend, and I have no doubt that
rich leads run all through these lands. The prospects for
new discoveries and of the localities already discovered con-
tinue good. The miners are beginning to send gold to
market. The new discoveries which are exciting most
attention are those at Elmrdele, on the line of the
canal and railroad, and at Nine-mile River, in Rants
county. The latter is spoken of as promising great
things, and the people in that neighbourhood are quite con-
fident
that this locality will prove very remunerative.
The Lanrencetowo washings look very favourable for the
intereste of such as are prepared to go into the work in the
right way. Tangier, after a long and tedious winter, is
looking up. Many who were driven out of their claims by
the heavy and continuous rains last fall have resumed work,
and many more will join as they have put in their crops.
Those who held on during the winter have uniformly done
well. Prospecting, since the weather hes improved, has
b.len going on with a good deal of spirit. At present there
are three cnishers at Tangier; a ton of quartz is stated to
have been put through one of them, which yielded 3oz.
Meta. of gold, in addition to 100 dollars' worth of speci-
mens taken out of the same lot, making the total yield of
gold and specimens 157 dollars for a single ton of quartz.

The mania for private theatricals still continues
to rage in the grand monde at Paris. The comedy of
Henry 111. of Pron.:ghee just been performed at the HStel
de Seilliere, the principal parts being acted by the following
persons :—Catherine de Medic* by Mina Abeille, the
banker's wife ; the Duchess de Guise, by the Princess de
Beauvoir ; Mme. de Goodi, by the Baronies Laurenoten ;
Marie, by the Counter de Pourteloi ; Henry 111 , by the
Marquis de Mornay ; the Duke de Guise, by Count
Grabowski, &c., Sc. In short, the entire " peerage "of
M:foxier was represented there ; even the lacqueys and
dumb parts were played by persons having the noblest
motes of France.
A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" Herr
Dawison, the German actor, is just now creating a great
sensation here, both by the excellence of his performance
awl the political plays he has been allowed to include in
his ripertoiro. As be appears on the boards of the German
stage, the government thought a greater license allowable
than could be granted to the Russian drama, and the in.
diligence has certainly redounded to the advantage of the
celebrated player. His remuneration, which is higher than
has been corned by any actor who has yet appeared in St.
Petersburg, amounts to no less than 10,000 roubles for 15
evenings, in addition to which the entire proceeds of two
benefit nights are also included in the contract."
