African Diamond Fields Exhausted.

The latest intclligen nee from the dia-
mond fields of South Africa is not en-
couraging to those who entertain the
idea Of seeking Torture in that region.
According to all accounts there is but
one place at which diggers now cover
their expenses, and that is the Coles
berg KroRje, or New Rush. There
claims have reached so high value
that none but men of some capital can
afford to purchase them; yet, notwith-
standing their high price, they do not
yield near so freely as they did. The
day for adventurcrs without means to
make money in the diamond diggings
is past. The proport on of those who
