Hobart Town advices, to the 23.1 February, state that
rumours were current that gold had been found in the
neighbourhood of Launceston sufficient to claim the
Governmet t reward.
THE PEACE REJOICINGS ON THE 29TH INST.—Yester-
day, at a court of Common Council, the Lord Mayor,
in reply to a question by Mr. Besley, said that the public
buildings in the City and metropolis generally would be
illuminated. The commercial companies intended to
follow the example, as did many of the large trading
establishments. He (the Lord Mayor) had no suggestion
to make respecting private dwellings. He had placed
himself in communication with the Bank of England
and the City banking•houses, and found them disposed
to keep the 29th inst. as a close holiday, if the Govern-
ment would pass an act relieving them from liability as
to cheques and bills of exchange. The dock companies
and the leading commercial firms were also, he found,
willing to make a close holiday of the day, and to act
net only considerately, but generously, to those em-
ployed by them. He had therefore thought himself jus-
tified iu applying to the Government on the subject,
but as they did nut think it advisable to pass such an
act as he had mentioned, he, having done everything
which he thought it his duty to do, would leave every
one to act according to his own views on the subject.
