• THE AUSTRALIAN Er. DORADO.—A poor men in
Southampton has a daughter married in Australia. Her
• husband is a foreman to a tobacco manufactory situated on
the river Paterson, the owner of which is a person named
Boyle. The daughter has just written home to her father a
letter dated in February last. She states that as soon as the
gold discoveries were made, Mr. Boyle was obliged to raise
the wages of all the men working on his establishment, and
that he allows a few at a time to go to the gold diggings to
try their fortune, when they return, after a limited period,
to give others a chance. By these means he has been
enabled to keep sufficient men to cavry on his business. The
diggings are abbut thirty miles from where she resides. She
speaks of a youth of her acquaintance about 17 years of age,
who for some time by herd work got an ounce of gold a
week; that he afterwards made use of a cradle, and washed
out about three ounces of gold a week. A party she knew
had met with very bad luck, and they were about to leave
the diggings. They were persuaded to give another trial,
when they fell in with a spot that was exceedingly rich in
gold, and they are now doing remarkably well. The writer
of the letter in question has been in Australia about eight
years. She states that the climate is much like England,
and she is desirous that her father and all her relations
should come out and join her. Her greatest grief is that,
out of the numerous letters she knows must have been re-
cently sent from England to her, she has never got one.
We understand the marriage of the Right Hon.
Henry Labouchere, IMP., and Lady Mary Howard, sister of
the Earl of Carlisle and the Duchess of Sutherland, which
was to have been solemnised on Monday next, has been de-
ferred until the 30th proximo.
