The recent intelEg snce from England describes
state OF excitement there. and wholesale emiRra-
tion going forward With the utmost activity, in
consequence Of the gold discoveries in Australis,
which every day becoming more and moro as
founding and these descriptions Of the London
papers present the very scenes on another STAGE
that were enacted here when the news first arrived
that the precious metal which is the object of uni
versal passion among mankind, could be obtained
directly in California by digging out of the bowels
of the earth in far greater quantities in tho same
space of time than il could be procured by indirect
means, and through the ordinary avocatons Of life.
This gave wonderful spring to exertion, and ex-
cited the most intense desire @ emigrate to the land
of gold The emerstiouvas enormous from all parts
Of the United States and has been since going
ahead. Fathers left tbcir children, husbands aban-
doned their wives and many persons surrendered
highly remuneratiye employ ments. in order to make
more rapid fortune in the mines Thousands Of per-
sons in small business sold OUT order to pay theiH
expenses TO the II Dorado, and to invest the
balance in mining operations, Or what paid as well,
commercial and mercantile speculations. The whole
current Of trade and commerce directed towards
the Pacific. The results are now produced in
England in reference 70 der Australian colony.
But there another result. 1t was found in
the United States that sailing vessels could not
meet the demand, or 10 swift enough for the hoe
haste Of men to become suddenly rich A line Of
steamers to California immediately got up, and
another followed and every day added new steam
ships, till now ,he Atlantic and Pacific are black
with them, and they me continually increasing The
same effect will be produced in England. Sailing
vessels will not be iast enough to convey the eagers

be brought under contribution. and new lines Oh
