Reported Discovery Of Gold Fields-In
tense Excitement Prevalent.

From the London Times, July ISL
Advices from the Cape of Good Hope
tend to confirm the report recently re-
'ceived with regard to gold discoveries
beyond the Transvsal Republic. Some
of the accounts in circulation are of the
widest description; but setting these
aside, there is reason TO believe not only
that deposits exist, but that they are very
rich and extensive. They appear to be
situated about five hundred miles from
Pachefsfron, town on the southern
border of the Transvaal, and the route is
reported to be healthy and abounding in
game. 1t is also alleged that the chiefs
friendly and anxious to come under Brit
ish protection. There is q tradition that
the Portuguese sent an expedition
ia the sixteenth century to work these
mines, which failed through the prevs-
lence of fever and the poisonous fly de-
scribed by DR.. Livingstone as destruc-
tive 70 horses and cattle. 1t ascended
the Zambesi as far ss Sena, but those
who did not perish turned back, aud no
attempt has since been made. Some Of
the Cape travellers know the line of route
we'll, and further and more distinct par
ticulars may, therefore, soon be expected.
Natal is the nearest seaport to the dis
trict, and expeditions will most likely be
organized from that colony as well as
from the Cape. Should the expectations
entertained be confirmed even in but q
moderate degree, an impulse will be
given to that and the other settlements
which will speedily retrieve the depres-
sion Of the past few years. The following
extract from letter written by ner-
chant ordinarily Of sober views, and
dated from Cape Town, the 4th ult., indi-
Gates that the discovery has created
frenzy even greater than that which al
ways arises uuder such circumstances,
aRd which almost invariably ends in dis
appointment
Reports ofihe existence of extensive
gold fields beyond the TrsnsvaAl Rspub-
lie appear TO be fully corroborAted
richer aud more extensive. IL - said,
than snyvhere else. In fact, it is thought
the ancient Ophir has been stfbck. What
do zoe think Of gold in heavy veins i'm
bedded in white quartz -auriferous
qusriz--in thirty different localities, and
immense surface strata, rich in gold, The
one twenty tro miles broad and the
other sixty miles long, with parallel veins,
