GOLD FROM CALuSRMA.-We have bees rsssas
ly favored, By Mr.. Walls, of the firm Of Pop,le-
well & Walls. Of Lime street, with the sight Of Z
remarkable specimen Of gold from Califorais,
which has been consigned, together with etAss
sno sysTsc s.sd %Ps snG gust TO soss
hands they came direct from that auriferous re-
glon. The weight of the principal specimen Cob.
Soz. and upwards), its close approximation to alb
pssrance, justify Us in pronouncing it to be The
most interesting and striking specimen which has
as yet reached Europe. Indeed, il IS confidently
asserted to be the largest mass Of the precious
yentuIers in the digginss; and we have reason to
believe that il was purchased by Mr.. Gross
at cost OF nearly double its instrlnsic va
ioria, on account Of its Unprecedented purity and
weight With the causes which have operated to
retard Its presentation to that lustrious lady, we
are not acquainted but we feel confident that

addition TO the stores already amassed in the MI
neurological department Of the British Museum. At
present, we believe that the fate OF this ustrous
stranger" is undecided but we have very little
doubt that those who feel interest in such mat
tiers may, IN the mean time, crafty their curiosity
on application at Messrs. Popplewell and Walls
Offices, while those who have hesitated to credit
the stories from the dlggings, capnot fail to be
there convinced by the testimony of their ewn eyes
and hands, that, however numerous may be the
blanks in the Californian lottery. and however
tainly are some prizes well worth the risk of seek
