This is, believe, the largest quantity that
has over been found in one spot on the wes-
tern diggings. Language would fail to
portray the intense excitement of this in

sion to wealth. 1t occupied them several
hours to separate the gold and partially
clean it; they had two quart billy full
Of coarse gold, for which they were subse-

A LARGE CHoR.-The choir at the pop
ular services at ST Pauls London, comprises
some 500 inviyiduals, and includes many of
the finest amateur singers in London, of
both sexes. With the exception Of the
leader, the whole of them are altogether un-
paid, and render their services from pure de-
votion to the practice of ecclesiastical vocal
music. They are all persons to whom mu-
sic is simply pleasing recreation; many
of them are in circumstances of ease and af-
fiuencc, some being members of one or 9TH
er of the learned professions; and it is be-
yond doubt the finest, as it is the largest
amateur choir ever organized in any place
of public worship.
