SIX WEEKS LATER NEWS FROM NEW SOUTH WALES
THE YIELD OF GOLD.
Wehavc received the Sydney Morning Herald.
and the Empire, up to the goth February.
The production Of gold, it appears, is still the
increase. The weekly mail from the mining dis
tricts, with government escort, had just arrived,
and the gold received at the treasury was as
follows From Turon, S52 ounces; from Ophir,
20 do; from Bathurst, 39S do. Other arrivals
by the regular mail, during the week, amount
ed to eight hundred and ninety-one ounces. The
Turon mines are exhausted and some points are
now entirely deserted, caused by the numerous
discoveries recently made in other points.
News from South Australia (Adeaide) had been
received, and the all-absorbing topics embraced in
it are the commercial depression of the colony
and the rapid decrease Of the laboring population
through emigration to the Victoria mines. A Pc
tition was in course Of signature praying the 60
vernment to interfere, by assaying the gold dust
which had found its way into the market, and per-
hitting it to be received in payment for land
Gold to the value of fi0, 900 to G50000 was in the
market, ard was found te be wholly unmerchanta-
