The accounts received by the Australian Mining
Companies aro in general more favourable. The
port Philip and Colonial Gold Company is advised
ender 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-
Ithed section the same productiveness was expected
as at the other place. On the -lower section
iliP banks were very rich, and the miners
'Were earning 10/. and 151. per week. It was
expected that gold would be found at other spots.
tabour was plentiful, and a much better feeling
Prevailed towards the company on the part of the
miners than at the other gold fields.

to agreements with cemetery companies and' burial
boards for the burial of paupers.
It appears that the suggestion at present under con-
hideration by the Bank of England for establishing a
