A DROMEDARY FOR HOLYROOD PARK.—The
officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of the Y Field
Battery of Royal Artillery, commanded by Major Yelver-
itoa, before leaving Leith ort for India, offered for her Ma-
jesty's acceptance a fine dromedary, which they captured
from the Russians, and brought home with them from the
Crimea. Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to 'ac-
alpt the animal, and to order that it be kept at HOlyrood.
We believe it is in beautiful condition, and very tame.—

„„NW "DIGGINGS" IN AIISTRALIA.—" There are
new diggings sprung up at the Fitzroy River, Port
-14"tia, which is on the northern boundary of Moreton Bay,
drat are causing immense excitement here. The principal
diggings are surface. By to-day's paper, which I send you,
You will perceive that a 121 b. nuggetlas been found, toge-
ther with 5000 z., by one party. Sydney, we expect, will

11_arit of the locale that the extent of goldfield in that dis-
tet is over 100 miles in circumference. IV, T. is going
next week, if possible. From private letters received in
Alley (some of which I have seen) it is stated that per-
"'mot can obtain as an average from 15s. to £1 a day within
Ell foot to a foot and a half from the top of the soil This is
brought
exaggeration. ,A.t the outset a small coasting schooner
„r,c.flight down 80oz., which caused the first excitement.
niy.the steamers, small coasting vessels, &c., are engaged
NvKing
_passengers, freight, &c., up there, and, no doubt,
e shall have hundreds flocking from Melbourne. It is
reported that it will prove the richest goldfield in New

vunicate to all inquirers."—Extract from a letter dated
Sydney, Sept. 11.
