Tun FaaxHKoe Or AUsTRALlAn GoEDs-
Thronxh the politsnsss Of the Assaysrs Of The
United Siates Mint Va hnve been shown CO.
veraI specimen 81 Australian gold, about three
ounces in weight, which havs been imported,
from London, By the Mint, for the purpose Of
testing its character. Asitwas expressly writ.
ten Or. the probability is, that these are the
FIRST specimens Of the gold production Of Aus
tralia which have ever been seen in this coun-
try. II was received only yesterday At the
Mint, and an assay of part OF it gives result
Of 966 1OO0ths fine, which 10 equal 10 about
$40 per OF. This valuation is. however, upon
the metal after melting, for which an allow
ance of two or three per cent. must be made,
making the value Of the native grains about
$3.50; which was the price charged in Lon
don for this lot. Previous assays, in London,
of other parcels, are reported to have given
the result of 638 1000ths fine. On the whole,
it is presumable that Australian gold is better
than Californian THAT is, containing less silver)
BY six or seven per cent. on the average. There
is a remarkable similarity in the physical or
external character of the gold from the two
great mining regions, occurring both in fat
spangles and in amorphous Jumps.

INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.-From the Staunton
Spectator we gather the following particulars
of an outrage, before noticed,) in Augusta
county:
"a negro man, belonging to James A. Fra
zer, Esq, near Jennings Gap, was commit
ted to the Jail of this county on Monday last,
charged with the pei petrarion of an infamous
outrage upon the person ola respectable young
white female. We understand that the evi-
dence against him is conclusive. The unfor-
tunate woman Identifies him distinctly, and
states that he had in his possession a pistol
and threatened TO shoot her if she resisted
She did resist, but was overcome by the viii
lain, who is said to be very powerful man.
The deed was perpelrated on Sunday, during
the absence OF the father and portion of the
family at Church. The young woman had
strolled into the orchard for the purpose of ga
thering fruit, where she was met and assaulted
by the black ruffian.
