FURTHER DISCOVERIES OF G()L.D.
By tho ship Phccalciati, which has arrived fr, an Syd-
ney in eighty-four days (the quickest passai..o ever
made), we have six weeks later dates from New Stauth
Waits, giviog accounts of further discoveries of gold in
various parts of the colony, and disclosing the most

river, in the Bathurst district, about 150 miles north-
west of Sydney. The last discoveries are at Braid wood,
about 200 miles south from Sydney; and, from private
letters, it appears that these diggings are likely to star-
pass all that have 3et been tried in any part of Port
Philip or New South Wales. The amount of gold re-
ceivod in Sydney is now about 17,0001. per week. The
total value of gold shipped from Sydney amounted to
218,9471. 6q. 3d. ; the price was 635. per oz. Bills on
London, drawn against gold, 6 per cent. discount.
A large number of diggers left town per Shamrock
steamer on Saturday last, with the intention of landing
at Brosler (about 200 miles south of Sydney) and pro-
ceeding from thence to the Arslune and Braidwood dig-
gings. Our intelligence from that quarter is more en-
couraging than ever, and success seems to be more cer-
tain than either at the Turon or Ophir, and many
mines are doing exceedingly well. Forty licences have
been taken out for a waterhole which has been partly
drained, and the proprietors anticipate golden results
when they reach the bottom.
The Turon has been more than ordinarily quiet since
our last in consequence of the impossibility
of working
the river from the late heavy rains. A tremendous
storm was experienced on Sabbath last which caused
considerable injury to many of the tents.
At Ophir
matters continue as usual. Tenders have been invited
for the Waterhole at the junction of Lewis Ponds and
Summeshill Creeks, and an application has been made
for one lower down. The escort brought down from
Ophir 133 ounces, Bathurst 173 ounces, and Sofala
3,701 ounces; Gundagai 160 ounces Braidwood 240
n value 17 d
ounces, an Mudgeos s 142 ounces: in all, 5,474 ounces, or
i,7901. 1.
The price remained firm at 545. to 645. 6d. up to
Thursday, when it suddenly rose to 655., at which large
quantities were purchased by a mercantile house desi-
rous of remitting 10,0001. by a vessel which sails on
Tuesday next, and, consequently, before another escort
can come in. It was necessary, therefore, to make a
push to accomplish that object, and miners and dealers
must not be disappointed to find the price fall as sud-
denly as it rose immediately after that vessel's depar-
ture, as nothing but the fact of 10,0001. being in the
market could have raised the price from 635. 6d., with
exchange at 5 per cent., to 65e. with exchange at 6 per
cent. The tender for Government gold was accepted at
a fraction over 655. Total gold shipped to this date
218,940/. 6s. 3d.

Exchange on London drafts against gold. 6 per cent.
discount; freight, 1 per cent.
