, The (Seerrer remarks that the evidences of a
• tithed& *mineral discovery in the south continue
key
zikdastary. Fine specimens of ore, azure blue
of copper, have been found in the townlands
of the OurtetcyGreek, seven miles fkom the anchorage
at Freeman's Knob, with a line for land carriage par-
ticularly favourable. An advanced party, consisting
of some newly-arrived miners, had started from
Adelaide, under Mr. C. Hare, and commenced a par-
ticular survey of the mineral products of the Mount
Remarkable district, situated twelve miles due
east of Poet Pirie, lately discovered by. Captain
Elder. The accounts from the Burrs Burrs mines were
that an immense lode of the purest Malachite had
jut been struck, and that the prospects of the con-
cern were more brilliant than ever. Some specimens
of copper ore from the surface of the land recently
purchased by the South Para Mining Association had
• been examined, and the report was most satisfactory.
The Governor had published the report of his
voyage to the head of Spencer's Gulf. The moat
im-
patent result of his excellency's trip is the discovery
that the portion of the Gulf north of lat. 33, is an
excellent, well-sheltered harbour; and u the Gulf
there extends, in average width, about eight miles
from the latitude of Point Lowly to that of Mount
Remarkable, a distance of fourteen nautical miles,
this discovery must give great additional value to the
land and mines in that country.

THE UNHAPPY ALLIANWIL—The following extract
Res the Madrid correspondence of the Tinset, of yesterday,
fully corrobwa•or the accounts we gave soma weeks ago of
the extremely unhappy terms on whieh the Queen of Spain
and her consort live together : " Yielding to the advice of
those who she Is now aware are anxious for her happinew,
the Queen bee made advances towards a reanciliamon with
kw husband. These advances have not been met as they
ought. Her Majesty agreed to the formation of a separate
establishment in Leone of her royal consort; she has
unlit, more than one, to at range all the differences
between them in a personal interview; she has written to
ler husband ; but awe who prefer to be Intimate with the
internal occorrences of the palace state that all has been
tried in vain. The interviews have not taken place ; the
letters have remained without reply ; and up to last night
then appeared an little prospect of a recoacibation as at the
eommenement. Ose of the conditions mid to have been
demanded by the King as a sine pow nets was the
meat of the whole of the crown property. To ThlssaC
Mown geve a decided refusal, on the ground that the
aural pattimosy belonged neither to herself nor to leer
hand, bet to the crown ; and that site wee answer-
able to the nation kw its proper management, and, on-
*gaudy, could not plan it out of her own inmedieto

ated the other day in the Gewgaw of Thanes by

other by the royal 'pair. The King retires to
rriow ft an sari, boar, and rime early. The Rum, on the

• • •

contrary, seeks her week at an edvaneed hour of the night,
and often not until 4 or 6 o'clock in the morning. She
rises late. Her time between breakfast and evening la occu-
pied either in public affairs or in music. She also reeds,
with much attention, the no of the capital, which
she insists on being regularly ►t to her ; and she
Ippeen to rake intsesel interest in what ;MUM in die
"'I..- AT non tre!...-,:t-T1"..-r", air goes out to drive.
For the lan eight or ten days she drives herself in a small
pony *Won—a present, I believe, from the Queen of
England, of wheel, by the way, she often speaks in terms
of great admbstkie, and whom she declares she is deter-
mined to take as herniated in all her actions. In herphaeton
she is accompanied by her cousin, the Infanta Josephs;
and her uncle, Don Francisco de Paula, follows at a short
distance in a tilbury, driven by himself. She is not
attended by ea escort el say kind ; an outrider and one or
two servants form her only mite during these promenades.
Her drives are iorariably in the Primly • and frequently she
descends from her carriage and withal; ea leer, leasing on
her uncle's arm or en her isousia's, end iteilenwed at same dis-
tance by a servant in the royal livery, in the midst of the
people whose salutes she receives with rueful and grateful
attentions. She returns to the passe at seven or half past
seven o'clock. Her countenance during these excurdons
hears not the slightest tress of ill-humour or sadness; on
the contrary, she appears in the midst of her admiring sub-
gay and smiling. When the King leaves the palace,
he seldom does so until after the Queen's departure. Ho
then goes oat in a close earl**, and drives in another and
entirely opposite direction to the Prado, and towsrds thou
places where few or none are to be met with ; and he gene-
rally returns et a later hour than the Qaella. During the
night, when bee feels fatigued, she sleeps for an
hour on a sofa bake* redwing to bed.
