GOLD FROM AUSTRALIA.—The accounts from Ade-
laide (South Australia) of the 6th of July state that the
Charlotte Jane had sailed for London on the 2d, with
34,000 oz. of gold, valued at 137,6001. The Madagas-
car had arrived at Melbourne in 88 days.
SPANISH AMERICAN BONDS. —The committee of
Spanish American bondholders have forwarded copies
•of correspondence regarding the debt of Venezuela.
Mr. Weiss, their agent, addressed the Finance Minister
on the let of August, pointing out the infamous posi-
tion in which the country is now placed by the avowed
disregard which the Government intend to treat their
foreign creditors. In reply, the Minister said that the
letter could not be received, as its expressions were
" too strong." Mr. Weiss then represented to the
British Consul that, as the Government had thus re-
fused to treat with him, he must appeal for his (the
Consul's) aid to make the necessary remonstrances.
A .TOUR OF EUROPE.—Tlicre is now exhibited at the
Living Marionette Theatre, Leicester-square,. a very
beautiful and instructive panorama, under this title. It
is on a very gigantic scale, containing upwards of 30,000
square feet of canvas, and is by Mr. J. R. Smith, an
American artist, from sketches taken by himself on the
spot. The views embrace all the principal European
cities, as well as those picturesque scenes and objects o
interest which attract the attention of travellers in
this quarter of the globe. The whole are tastefully
and skilfully painted, and there is just sufficient variety-
in the colouring and style to divest the pictures of same-
ness. Those which struck us as particularly excellent
were the views of Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Rome, Flo
rence, and Naples ; and we think Mr. Smith has reached
the highest flights of panoramic art in his representa-
tions of the Rhine and Switzerland. As the panorama
moves along it is accompanied by music and by brief
explanations, by a lecturer, of the various places
delineated. We cordially recommend the exhibition as
one most deserving of the public support.
PROVINCIAL THEATRICALS.—Theatres in the provinces
seem to be enjoying a season of great success, and the
different lessees have no cause to regret the expense
incurred in arriving at "a consummation devoutly to be
wished." At Manchester, Mr. Knowles has reaped a
goodly harvest by the engagement of Mr. C. Mathews ;
Miss P. Horton is now the star, coupled with a brilliant
ballet company, under the direction of Mr. A. Harris.
At Worthing Mr. and Mrs. H. Vezin have been attract-
ing crowded houses by their spirited representation of
the creations of the immortal " Will"—the audience ap-
preciating highly the masterly and able performance of
this gentleman and his talented lady. The pretty little
theatre at Gravesend, under the able direction of Mrs.
H. Ruddall, has also come in for its share of success, and
most deservedly so, for no expense has been spared to
make it one of the most attractive places of resort for
the thousands who yearly dock to this favourite place
of the Londoner. _ _

MADAME TIISSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—Durivg the early
part of last week, her Majesty Queen Christina, accom-
panied by a party of sixteen, honoured the well-known
Exhibition of Messrs. Tussaud's with a visit. Her
Majesty expressed her gratification at the admirable
arrangements displayed in the museum, as well as the
artistic skill exhibited in the formation of the numerous
groups. The Russian Ambassador, Baron Brunnow,
also visited the exhibition, attended by a large and
fashionable party.
PROPOSED WELLINGTON MEMORIAL IN LIVERPOOL.
—Yesterday afternoon a public meeting was held at
the Sessions-house, Liverpool, in reference to the pro-
posed memorial to the Duke of Wellington. It ap-
peared from a statement made by the Mayor, that the
Memorial Committee had decided to recommend the
erection of a column in a suitable part of the town,
surmounted by a statue of the illustrious Duke, the cost
of which was estimated at 10,0001. Of this sum only
5,0001. had been subscribed, and the object for which

the purpose of obtaining the remainder. The meeting
waalionadedressed by Mr. W. Brown, M.P., and other gen-
tlemen, and certain resolutions calculated to attain the
conclusion.
