A REBELLION IN AUsTRALIA.-We have
heretofore alluded to the dissatisfaction
amongst the miners of Australia. Ac-
cording to an article in the London Times,
the crisis seems already to have been
reached. Immediately after the discovery
of the gold mines, the home government
imposed license fee, amounting to thirty
shillings $3.50 a month, for the privi-
lege of digging gold. The miners sub
mitted and paid-but not very willingly.
Recently, in Port Philip, the British Gov
ernor announced his intention of Doubling
the fee. The miners refused to pay it
formed associations to protect each other
in that refusal resisted the authorities
sent to collect it-and, finally, demanded
the reduction of the fee to ten shillings-
one-third of what it had previously been.
After an Intellectual struggle, the Cover
nor recommended to the Legislature the
entire abolition Of the tax; and there

seems to be little doubt that this advice
will eventually be followed. Thus" :"
says the London Times, .'the Government
Of Victoria is humbled in the dust before
a victsf'eus mob: and the institutions still
left to the Colony exist avowedly upon
sufferance." The rebellion thus far is
confined, 1t is true, to single class. in a
single colony-but the example has been
set, and it is contagious. The people
have become enlightened, as the Times
again says, 'as to the secret of their own
strength, and also as to the, weakness of
the body which professed to control
them" The rest will follow in due time,
as matter of course. f

AMOS AND TIE HONEST QUAKrR. -
few evenings since, John, Alex, and
Tom, We're sitting in celebrated hair
dressing saloon, not far from Congress
Square. Tom proposed that the Honest
Quaker should be consulted, so that the
party might know who should pay for a
bottle Of old London porter. Amos was
invited to join the crowd, which he did
very reluctantly, and after much persua-
sion: he solemnly affirming and reaffirm-
that he didn't know, nor didn't want to
know who nor what the Honest Quaker
was
Now, Amos is one of the best of men.
He has always had an eye to the main
chance-and sometimes looks at dime
until it increases in size 10 a Spanish
dollar. The four figures were marked,
and the figure 3 was placed on the back
of the card.
"Amos, what number will you take z"
shouted Tom. Amos scratched his head,
wiped his eyes, and, trembling, replied
" Three" "Then you are stuck" says
Tom. . .,
q aint neither" replied Amos, 'the
rest of We aint guessed yet"
Finally Amos was convinced that he
was in honor bound to pay for the porter,
although he owned that he had rather in
vest his part of the money in the pur-
chase of two fried sausages and one dough-
nut. After the boys had swallowed the
porter, Amos proposed that they should
try the thing over again, and he should
take upon himself the responsibility Of
marking down the figures. Now, JOHN"
said he, 'what number O. "One z"
was the reply. Tom, what number?''

Alex. There it was very plain, figure
4. How do you make it out that | am
stuck !'' said Alex, you are the unfor-
tunate individual - g Not by darn'd
sight" screamed Amos. Il knew that
there was some darn d trick about it, and
[ guessed afore either one of you did,
guessed One myself"
Amos was obliged to pay the second
bottle, and with phiz that approximated
to that of the Knight of the Rueful Coun-
tenance, he declared that in his private
opinion, the honest Quaker was a very
dishonest old cuss. But John consoled
him by saying that the 'sQuaker " had
often put better men than himself through

A CoMPosIroR Franklin Job
Office, at Athens, Ga, advertised, a short
time since, for two or three "good COM
positors," (type-setters,) and among the
applications received, was one from Ten
nessee, from youth of twenty y-one,"
who was anxious to accept the propo-
sition, as he understood it, provided the
compensation was satisfactory. We make
q short extract from his epistle:
"In the course of my studies, have
devoted some attention to composing !;
but, not knowing anything of the ex-
penses of living in Athens, and the char
acter of tho compositions wanted, can
make no estimate of the profit of writing
at "a cents per 1000 words. Are all COM
positors expected to reside at Athenss If
you want my services, let me know what
Inducements there are for youth of
twenty.one to undertake the business. "
