Ties WSATHZR, YORKSHIRE. —The weather of
the past few days has been wintry in the extreme. On
Thursday night, supplementing a heavy fall of snow during
the day, there were 3 degrees of frost, and fruit of all
kinds apples and plums particularly—and potatoes,
were thorou'hly, "cut back. Gardeners say the crop*
hare been delayed a month at least by the unusually
severe frosts.
Seeca.ssrct Mixtwo.—One thousand eight hmt-
dred ounces of gold from 100 tons of stone, and railed at
• total cost of less than :VOL, must equal the expectations
of the most sanguine speculator in quartz reefs. Such a
yield has been reliably communfmted to ns. The stouo
was taken from the cap of a surface reef upon the equa-
ting run known as Mount Pleasaut,on the Goulboars, near
Yea, and occupied by Maims. bleckeuaie and Coops. Tto
distance is some 80 miles from Melbourne. There re.
rnained unretorted 121 b. weight of amalgam (roughly esti-
mated), and the gold (a portion of which was sold to
Messrs. William Clarke and Sons, on Saturday) produced
about 7,0001. sterling. The mine, or rather gold gnarly,
is in the hands of four or tire lurtners.— Velem ree Asa
