A USTRALIA.

Panama papers were received here yesterday
morning, containing advices from Sydney to the
10th of December.
The accounts were taken to Callao by the British
ship Irene, Captain Robinson, in the short space!
30 days, and thence to Panama by the steam-ship
Bogota. The Panama papers were brought to Eng-
land by the West India mail steamer Orinoco.
The screw-steamer Sydney sailed from Sydney*
on the 7th Dec., with the mails for England, rota
the Cape of Good Hope. She had also a very large
amount of gold-dust on freight. •
The screw-steamer Great Britain was
to leave
Sydney on the 20th of December, for Liverpool.
The Sydney Empire, of the Gth of December,
contains the distressing intelligence that a boat be-
longing to her Majesty's brig Fantome had been
upset at Porinia, in Cook's Straits, and the surgeon
and five of the crew of the brig drowned.
There was no sign of a diminution in the produce
of gold, and the mania, instead of decreasing,
seemed to be spreading with greater intensity.
At Yarra Yarra upwards of 4,000 persons were
encamped, most of them reported to be doing well.
The yield of gold amounted to 1,000,0001. Per I
month. Two Government escorts had arrived at
Sydney just previous to the sailing of the Irene,
bringing 15,000 oz. from Bendigo, and 24,000 ez•
from Ballarat. •

Three emigration companies had been established,
with a capital of 100,0001. each, the object being
that of assisting emigrant's.
The Meteor, which sailed from Sydney for Lon-
don at the end of November, took on freight
44,704 oz. of gold dust.
Gold was selling in Sydney at 3/. 9s. 6d. per oz.
A correspondent of Bell's Life in Sydney, of the
10th of December, writing from the Tuena gold-
fields says :
" I started from Goulburn at 10 a.m. last Monday
week, and reached Tuena by Sundown the next day.
The road is very good—better than any road I know in
the colony—and the hospitality of the settlers on the
way I shall never forget. Everybody here seems to he
doing well. Indeed, I have not heard of one case of
ill success, nor of any person grumbling. I am toll
that numerous parties of four are getting 15 to 20
ounces per day • of course, there are numbers not
getting so much; but I am sure I am not wrong
when I say that, taking the number of diggers at
present on the ground, 11 ounce each per day is the
average yield. The Liverpool party are doing a good
stroke of business. The parties of Reynolds, Jones,
Vernon, Hawkins, and Cameron, and a score of others,
are realising a handsome independence. We only want
men; the gold is in abundance here, and only require°,
labour for the proper working. A man of the name 01
Brown, I am informed, has sold 60 ounces of gold dust,
which to-day he stated was the produce of one week
labour. I have never seen a more picturesque part 01
the country. I suppose, however, you do not Want
poetical ideas ; but, in plain prose, every convenience is
to be had ; there is plenty of delicious water, and the
grass here could not be surpassed. There are large pad'
docks for horses, bullocks, &c., at a mere nominal
charge. Provisions are both abundant and cheap. Before
I return to Goulburn I hope to make a fortune."
The Spring Creek correspondent of the SyciseY
Argus writes as follows :

"How do you like to hear of our Spring Creek
diggings, eh ? Will it pay a man to obtain in one dai
alb. weight of gold ? Will it satisfy a man, without
much trouble, to get 2oz. per day, and cook, and eat
his food, not forgetting an occasional nap in the shade t
Well, calculate as you will, such is the plain truth about
Spring Creek. A small angle of the creek, to my cer-
tain knowledge, afforded four lawful claims. The clairae,
were only sunk four feet in depth, and they produced
300 ounces. There are parties here (at Spring Creek)
who have accumulated 2001. and 3001. in 14 days. S°
now, my friends, if you are anxious to try your luck,
now's the chance."

The accounts of the harvest, received from various
quarters, were most favourable, and the land was
producing abundantly. Large crops were looked
forward to with confidence. Flour had gone down
in Sydney to $l2 per 2001 b., or about 231. sterling
per ton.
Files of papers from Wellington extend to the
30th of November. They are unusually barren of
interesting intelligence.
A committee of 16 gentlemen had been appointed
for the purpose of taking the preliminary steps to-
wards the formation of a company for working the
newly-discovered gold fields of Pakawau.
The following extracts, with reference to a RlP-
posed rich copper-mine discovered at Dunn Moun-
tains, New Zealand, are taken from the New
Zealand Independent :

" Mr. Wray arrived here by the Henrietta, frail
Nelson, on Thursday. The most sanguine hopes are
still entertained by that gentleman of the existence of a
valuable copper mine at the Dunn Mountains. Mr.
Wray has brought with him a very fine specimen of the
ore, which he detached from a portion of the lode that
was cropping out of the earth, and which, being surface
ore, is not generally supposed to be so rich and valuable
as that found deeper down the lode. We understand it
is Mr. Wray's intention to give, at an early peried?„ an
exposition of the position and prospects of the mine.

DEATH IN WESTMINSTER BRIDEWELL.—Mr. Bedford
held an inquest yesterday, at this prison, on the bodY °
Matilda Cooper, a convict, aged only 15 years. The
deceased was convicted of felony at the Middlesex Ses.
sions in October last, and sentenced to six months' Mr
prisonment, with,hard labour. She was received
the Westminster Bridewell on the 14th of October, an
continued well up to the 6th of February, when she be-
came ill, and was placed in the infirmary, where she lie'
gered until the Bth instant. For three weeks after bu,
reception she had been required to pick a pound 0;
oakum per day, and afterwards her labour was confine°.
to needlework, knitting, and straw plaiting. The di
cipline of the prison had not distressed the decease"
neither had she been punished or subjected to any Pri"'
tion—nor did she appear to have complained at any time.
The full rations had been given, and the usual dent
exercise allowed her. During her illness every
attention was shown to her, and her mother had heee
allowed by the Governor, though against the pris" re-
gulations, to remain in the prison with the deceased a.
week before her death. The surgeon stated that the
deceased died from low fever, and that it could not 11
referred to any local cause, though depression of 111112 L
might have influenced it. The Coroner remarked the
_
evidence showed an amount of care and kind attention
on the part of the prison authorities towards the unfehre
tunate. inmates, which must be very gratifying t° t
jury and the public. Verdict—" Natural death."
