BRITISH ORPHAN ASYLUM.

The half-yearly general court of the governors
and subscribers to this institution took place yesterday, at
the London Tavern, for the purpose of electing ten addi•
tioaal children into the asylum, and presenting rewards to
yang persons, formerly pupils in the institution, who at-
tended with satisfactory testimonials from their employers.
Mr. CHARLES WOOLLOTON (in the absence of the Lord
IIIvor) in the chair. There were protect amoopt the most
active promoters of the charity, the Rev. J. A. Aston, the
Rev. H. J. Commins, the Rev. S. Cris, Genteel Sir George
Pollock, kr.. . _

The 61.111RMAN, in presenting the rewards to former pupils
is the institution, said that it gave the governors consider-
able pleasure to witness what they saw on these occasions,
as the only reward they desired for their labours was to
see girls sad boys who were educated in the asylum grow
up to womanhood and manhood under circumstances which

cOnstituted them good subjects ancicsidiristra;s. Those
present had all produced excellent testimonials from
Omit employers, and he trusted that the advantages which
than testimonials proved they had derived from the institu-
tion would bind them more closely to it, and induce
them to do all in their power to promote its interests.
During the eight years that be (Mr. Woolloton) had had
the honour of Wag oonnected with the institution not one
pupil had been hewn, to turn out badly, and, in fact, imbed
never beard evil report (which generally travelled faster
than good report) of either boy or girl. He congratulated
the school and its conductors on these interesting facts,
and trusted that the same state of things might
in continue to exist. Mr. Woolloton then pro-
osed to give the allotted rewards to six pupils,
five boys and one girl, who bad been educated in the
asylum ; and the meeting having been addressed by the
Rev. H. J. Cummins, Rector of St. Alban. Wood-street,
in reference to the great benefits derivable from tbe insti-
tution, the result of the election wail declared. It thee
appeared that 10 children, viz., six girls and four boys, were
elected from a list of thirty-tree candidates (twenty-four
boys, and nine girls), sod the chairman in closing the pro-
ceedings announced that a meeting of the subscribers was
advertised to take place on Saturday next, to take into
consideration the expediency of purchasing an eligible build.
" fag which bad been offered to the governors for the pur-
=f the isstitution. The names of the successful can.
having been announced, the meeting terminated
• with a vote of Masks to the chairmen.

GOLD IN AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND.

(From the New Zealander, May 7, 1862)

From Coromandel we have information which li
places the existence of a gold field beyond doubt, even in
the minds of those who were most sceptical on that point.
Specimens of the precious metal continue to come into
town from time to time ; we speak only of what we have
ourselves seen, the 14-ounce nugget seat to the governor,
that of 32 ounces to be seen at the Bank of New Zealand, •
very handsome racer-full of water-worn quarts specimen',
in the possession of Mr. Keyes, taken from the bed of the
Waian creek, end which may contain in all some 3,, ounce..
• 75 per met. pure gold ; some equally fine specimens brought
down within the last week, which are only a portion of
Norm 111 b. weight obtained by the same party.
Again. speaking of the Tici creek, Coromandel,
Mr. Von Temaky writes that 41b, weight has been
got by one party heavy specimens, waterworn,
and unalloyed; also that • 14-ounoe specimen (the mine
as mentioned above as sent to the governor), moistly all
gold ; 6 ounce, Lennee, and
who
pieces have been got
at the moss creek by men who are sot above dirties their
bands or wetting their feet.
Mr. Murphy and party have, during the present week,
succeeded In striking the reef at • mpeitlerable depth, and
from the specimens of quarts which they have already ex-
tracted, there is little doubt of its proving an exceedingly
profitable undertaking; 2) ounces to the too is the estimated
yield. Great praise is due to the perseverance and industry
of this party.
There are about 180 miners at preempt at Coromandel ;
of these shout 60 ere said to be at WOE*, the other
two-thirds idly waiting in expectation of a resdproade gold
field to commence upon. By far the greater part of those
engaged at work are either satisfied with the result of their
work, or are 000lldsat of their future incomes. The great
difficulty coder which Cerosniusdal labours is the impos-
sibility of moving freely about the country ; the diggings
extent over forest land, and forest of a more than ordindrily
deem and tangled nature. Gold has, however, been dis-
covered along the leading ring. for a distance of sixty mils.,
and there is little doubt bat that *livable gold field would
have long slaw been discovered had the surface of the
reentry presented no greater difficulties than those which
have existed in the Australien colonies and in Otago.
