Probably in which large aggregate allotments can
be obtained is by every clerk, employe, or acquaint-

The total of the loan is still expected to be about

The accounts received by the Australian Mining
Companies are in general more favourable. The
Port Philip and Colonial Gold Company is advised
under date of the Ovens, April 7, that the Gages
section was very promising, containing tin ore and
gold sufficient to yield a fair profit. At the Wool-
shed section the same productiveness was expected
as at the other place. On the lower section
the banks were very rich, and the miners
were earning 101. and 151. per week. It was
expected that gold would be found at other spots.
Labour was plentiful, and a much better feeling
prevailed towards the company on the part of the
tniners than at the other gold fields.

jUNERAL OF A CRIMEAN HERO.—John Flannagan,
0—.91, who has recently been invalided home from the
‘-dirnea, and who was at the battles of Alma and Inker-
", was beried in the new military burial ground yes. with military honeurs. The body was removed
't°l3:l Fort Pitt, and a number of persons followed the
corpse to the grave.
BURIAL OF PAT:TEM.—A. bill introduced by Messrs.
Baines and Grenville Berkeley enacts that, where the
burialground of a parish is closed or overcrowded, the
guardians or overseers may bury corpses in some other
neighbouring parish. Guardians are empowered to enter
into agreements with cemetery companies and burial
boards for the burial of paupers.
It appears that the suggestion at present under con-
bsiderati at
by the Bank of England for establishing a
ranch t the west end of the town is supported by some
of their most influential proprietors. One of the reasons
urged consists in the facilities it would afford to the

rowers. In case of default of payment at the times fixed
the rate of interest and instalments originally agreed
open may be required.
SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The attractions of
this place of amusement have been increased by the ad-
dition of a band of Spanish minstrels to the orchestra.
These singers execute the pieces of music en'rusted to
them with remarkable nreciiion and exquisite taste.
The tenor has a voice of extreme purity, and the la(/37 Zingß with great truth and expression. The charm,
