GOLD DISCOVERIES IN ENGLAND.
The Mining Journal tells us, that "gold,
apparently in great abundance, has been dis
covered at South Moulton, in Devonshire, on
| the property of Lord Poltimore, as rich indeed

Britannia Mine will probably, bethe pioneer of
| the discovery of other deposits of aurferous
ores in the United Kingdom, by drawing at
| tention TO the subject, which is unquesii"nably

The expedition consisting of IL. Ms ship
| Cleopatra. the steam frgate Semiramis, and
| the war steamer Pluto-the latter two vessels
belonging to the East India Company-re-
turned to Singapore after an unsuccessful en-

taking, il is estimated, about fifteen thousand
emigrants.
