MADAME BISHOP.

This accomplished artist proposes to give
concert at Odd-Fellow's Hall on Tuesday
evening next, the 9Th instant. She will be
assisted by the celebrated Boscha, the harp

ly extended, as a songstress Of unrivalled
ability, and we are sure that the announce

The fashionable world is just now dying Of
ennui, and Madame Bishops coming at this
moment will prove very opportune to give
new life and activity to its movements.

The news lately received from California of the
discovery ofan extensive gold washing (of which you
will no doubt have heard in England has produced
great deal Of speculation Several cargoes have been
despatched from this market, and Others have been
prepared; while houses being opened in Caifor-
MIA In connection with mercantile establishments
here. The chief ground Of hope fer the success Of
oil this speculation Is the continuance of the gold
washing In Its present fertility Gold dust TO the
value Of 0006 has already arrived here within the
last few weeks from this god-washinP, and we have
advices Of much more being on the way from the
porl Of San Francisco In Upper California. The
gold sells here at SlS ounce. The washing Is sit
nated on a tributary Of the Sacramento river, about
200 miles inland from San Francisco, and great ex.
pectaons ave raised from It's extraordinary fertility,
and from the ease with which the gold Is procured.
