quite an excitement to leave the sleepy streets of the town,
and stand at the railway terminus, watching for the train
from Aspinwall, freighted with six or seven hundred adven-
turers bound for the diggings. To bee it disgorge its piratical-
looking crew, one is almost tempted to believe that Kidd and
Morgan have revisited the scene of their former exploits by
the present popular method of locomotion. Men in red
flannel shirts, jack-bests), with revolvers and bowies in their
girdles, and bundles under their arms, come tumbling out
of the ears after ono Another, with here and there a stroll,-
minded female between them. guiltless of bandboxes or pack-
ages. Among them are a few respectab-dressed people,
and generally a sprinkling of black-coated and white-tied
personages, who look very seedy and disreputable. And oaten-
Bible belong to the learned proferionr. This miscellaneous
crowd goes swarming down to the jetty, a distance of only a
few yards, utterly ignorant of the fact that the black multi-
tude who are screaming behind them and helping to carry
their bundles, are contemptuonely applying the shouts and
epithets which they generally reserve only for driving their
mules; and that the expreesions of mirth which accompany
them to the steamer Are consequent upon these insulting
cries. They are aecic.tomed in their own country to treat
.• 'sigma" as an inferior description of humanity, and cows-
gamily bestow oaths and kicks upon them here; while the
latter, who return the sentiment with inkiest, are only re-
strained from revenge by prudential motim.—Blarkirood's

AUSTRALIAN LIvE.—A LUGUBRIOUS PICTURE.
—Take any day of Australian life. You come home after a
hard, dusty days work, and you long for a quiet evening
with your wife and children, such sa you could get once in
dear old England. When you sit down to dinner, which
your wife has had to cook, and your children to prepare for,
you see ths partner of your doesestic joys with a face (from
flea end mosquito bites) like a pottle of prize strawberries at
Chiswick, • pleasant object to contemplate of an evening.
During your dinner you are tormented with flies and bitten
by fleas; your very slice of rout mutton on your plate, be-
fore you have time to dispose of it, is blown by the yellow
bottle fall of live maggota,—you push your plate away sick
and diegusted,—you pour out and drink belt your pale Ala.
and in a moment your glass is crammed with ten thousand
debauched flies, who die in drunken happiness. You
cell in your children ; they come, looking squalid,
pale, and jaded; no rosy cheek, here—yon help your
wife to put away the things, and then sit down with flies,
fleas, and mosquitoes, a mottled-faced wife,

made a very fortunate speculation that day; but it takes a
vast amount of money to anopensate you for so muck
domestic misery. When you retire to bed it will be only to
a wood torture of flees and other vermin, and you will par
a restlese, feverish, sleepless night; your children will cry
and allfor mama belt the night long; and you will get tip
to another day of speculation gun or kw, • *led wife,
