FROM AUsrRALIA.-By advices from Sydney
to the 18th of August, we learn that the yield
of gold still continued to be enormous. IN the
week ending the 7th Of August, upwards of one
hundred and sixty thousand ounces passed
through the treasury, of which about one third
was the produce of the week. and two-thrds ac-
cumulations for want of conveyance on former
occasions.
The subject of leases to squatters was attract
ing much attention, and was likely to be the
source of much trouble and dsaffection. The
Government was preparing to issue the license
in accordance with the act of Parliament and Or
der in Council.
A bill had been read second time in the Lc
gislative Council to prevent emigration from Van
Dieman's Land, but it was not supposed the
Lieutenant Governor would approve it. A rail-
way from Sydney to Goulburn, and even as far
as Melbourne, was talked Of. Sydney has already
become city of great commercial Importance.
Upwards of G7oo have been raised in Van

COMPOSITION OF THE MooN.-Every object on
its surface of the height of one hundred feet is
distinctly seen through Lord Rosse's telescope.
On its surface are craters of extinct volcanoes,
rocks and masses Of stone almost innumcrable.
But there are no signs Of habtations such as
ours, no vestige of architectural remains, to show
that the moon is or ever was inhabited by race
of mortals similar to ourselves. No water is Wis
ible, no sea, no river; all seems desolate.

To CURE HAMs-As have seen numerous
receipts for curing hams, and as have tried the
annexed for several years, and found it to excel
every other in my estimation, take the liberty
of sending it to you, that you may publish it for
the benefit of any who may be disposed to try it.
By letting my ham remain in pickle, it is less
trouble to keep it than by any other method
which have found, and it keeps sweet and ten
der all the summer.
Take barrel and turn over an old pan or
kettle, and burn cobs Il think best,) or hard
wood, for seven or eight days. keeping water on
the head to prevent drying. Make pickle with
eight pounds of salt, six ounces of saltpetre, two
quarts Of molasses, and three gallons Of water in
one hundred pounds. Boil and skim in barrels,
and when the pickle is cold, pour it on to the
meat, and in four weeks you have excellent ham,
very tender and we'll smoked.--Al6any Caltira-

VALUABLE REc1pE.-In close and compacty

experienced from the proximity of cesspools,

toward the Mareposa diggings hear aihou
sand greatly exaggerated stories of success
but the multitude who are already leaving
this region for other mines, bring back the
most dlscouraging reports. As we found il
