THE PANAMA ROUTE.—A further illustration, such as
those repeatedly presented during; thethe pact four or five
years, of the superiority of the Panama route for com-
munication with Australia was afforded on Satur-
day, in the Melbourne dates received by La Piata.
They teach to the 2d of September, or about four weeks
later than the previous advices. Neither letters nor
papers have come to hand containing any very full in-
formation, len r 'appears probable that the value of the
extraordinary gold field alleged by the last accounts to
have been discovered in New South Wales must have
been to some extent confirmed, since it is reported that
the masters of vessels at Sydney were unable to obtain
crows owing to the departure of the men to that dis-
trict, and also that it was attracting increasing MM.
hers from the old gold fields in the neighbouring coiony
of Victoria. The Lightning is said to have sailed from
Melbourne with a large amount of gold about the 25th
of August, in which case she is 82 days nut.

man of the cot opany, stated in the course of his speech
that the Istam boul has 1,600 tons of cargo, which, at
the rate of Si.. , would give 4,8001., and that the receipts
from paaseree ere amounted to 1,800/, ; these sums are
expected to d, efray the expense of the voyage, and leave
the hinnewar:ei receipts for profit. Tho Istamboul sailed
