GE'MONG GOLD CIRCULAR.

There seems to be a general revival at this date among the Victorian
diggings. From every quarter the news is more encouraging.
Already the effect of this is observable in town. Business generally
has a more active tone, and it seems to be the common impression
that we shall have a stirring season.
The news from Balaarat is highly gratifying. The last vein of
the famous Eureka is said to be recovered, or another found of equal
richness. At any rate, there are instances shown lately of individual
success more extravagant than anything yet previously known,
Cobbler's and Norton's Gullies ere the principal favourites. The
former is recently opened up, and promises well. The gold is got
at various depths, but the general thing is not so deep as at the
Canadian or the Eureka. Altogether the prospects for the Balaarat
side seem Food.
The buying price during the week has been steady, at 775. 6d.
There has been a brisk demand for shipment by the Argo. The
supply has been, if anything, better than the previous week.
Since last circular there has arrived by escort, 44,332 ounces.

Mr. Clarke, the Clerk of Works at the New
Borough Gaol Walton, who apprehended at Oswestry
on the previous day, was charged with being concernod
in
defrauding the corporation out of a large sum of money,
was yesterday brought before the magistrates and remanded.
Daring Thursday night or early on yesterday
morning an entrance was effected through a skylight into
the shop of Mr. Williams, tailor and draper, Tarlton St.
£3O and a quantity of valuable clothes were stolen.
James St. Alban Quina, who absconded from
this town to Australia with £l3OO, the property of his
employers, Messrs. Train and Co., and who was brought
back to this country in the Eagle and committed for trials at
the sessions, was sentenced to four years penal servitude, on
Thursday afternoon, by Gilbert Henderson, Esq., the
Recorder.
THE PRESTON STRIKE.—There seems no proba-
bility of an early settlement of this dispute. The hands show
no disposition to comply with the requirements of the mas-
ters. On the contrary, they seem to rely with confidence
upon being sustained by public contributions, and their
language is daily becoming more defiant. A meeting of the
power-loom weavers employed at the mills still at work was
held on Thursday evening, which was addressed amongst others
by Mr. G. Cowell, who made a fierce reply to the remarks
upon one of his former speeches by the London Times. Re-
ferring to a report that the associated masters in the manu-
facturing towns are about to withdraw the advance they have
already given, and close their mills, Mr. Cowell said :
Now, I am perfectly satisfied—and I say it with all due
deference ; I speak solemnly, that if an intention of that
sort should be entertained—if the masters of Stockport and
Blackburn, and throughout the united districts of Lan-
cashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire, should
associate with the masters of Preston ; if they should all
combine together to concoct plans for the purpose.of taking
off the ten per cent., I am satisfied it would be out of my
power, and out of the power of Queen Victoria herself, to
- prevent a civil revolution." (Hear, hear.)
