CREDULITJ' AND FRAUD.
One day last week an old gentleman, living on an in"
dependent income with his niectrat the Hotwells, fell in
with a stranger, who said he was desirous of viewing,
the scenery for which this neighbourhood is celebrated,
bat, being entirely unarquainted with the locality, wished
for a respectable guide, vrhoso expenses he
was quitewilling and able to pay, as he had recently come into a
fortune of 20,0001. For the purpose of talking over the
matter more conveniently they adjourned to the Hiber-
nian Hotel, when they were joined by another man, who,
it trampired, was also 'affleent and ignorant of the na-,
tural beauties of the district, which he was at:islet's to,
visit. To prove his respectability and wealth
be ex-
hibited a lot of notes; the other man did the same; and
the old gentleman, who .had no Money with him,
offered to procure a sufficient number of similar Vouch-
ers from his residence, to which place his coin"
.panions went with,him; and he having procured
from his " strongbox" eight 51. Bank of England notes,.
they all again returned to the Hibernian Hotel,
where
one of tho' " strangers" observing that the, old, gentle'
man's purse was not a good one, insisted on presenting
him with abetter, into which his tikes were apparently
transferred. It was then. agreed that on the next morn-
ing they should go on a trip to Weston, and by way of
finishing thetday agreeably they rode in an omnibus to
the Full Stioon,,North-atreet, whence the old gentleman
departed, ••after sundry • libationteof brandy and water.
On reaching his home he sought his P
and slept composedly until the morning, when just, as he
was starting to join the strangers at thelic)wqmniediately,
railway station
his niece happened to, discover that the notes in his
purse were fl•lsh notes, and, that he was less wealthy
than he had imagined by the sum of 401. Information
of the robbery was at case forwarded to Alr. Inspector
Attwool, and the police are waking . Search for the
thieves by whom the old gentleman ivas so impudently
d aped. —Bristol Mercury:

THE DIGGINGS.
The amount of gold brought by the Admiral from
Port Philip is 30,840 ounces, valued at nearly 120,000/.
The captain of this vessel states that at the time of his
departure the difficulty of getting a crow was undimi•
nished. He was to haie sailed on the 31st of iNLarch,
but was detained in the bay till the 3d of April, from the
necessity.of 'sending on shore to get gold to pay his men
before they would weigh anchor. The rate of wages
thus required to be paid in advance was 451. for tho run.
There were about fifty sail in port deserted by their
crews. The number of persons arriving at Port Philip
was about, a thousand a week. gold
A piece of pure
weighing 281b5., recently brought into Melbourne, had
been shipped for England by the Posthumous: The
statement that the average production at Mount Alexan-
der was upwards Of 12,000 ounces per week (or at the
rate of about 2,500,0001. a year) is confirmed. At Syd-
ney the quantities obtained were probably as large. The
accounts of the current scale of wages, however, are less
unsatisfactory than might have been anticipated. Build-
ing, which had ceased at Melbourne, was recommencing,
workmen being obtainable at from 10s. to 153. per day.
Shepherds were alao,being engaged at from 351. to 401.
