THE RETURN JOURNEY.  Mr. Gladstone then left the platform and the ball amid a scene of great enthusiasm. Driving to the Great Western Railway Station,he left Wolverhampton by the 3.30 train for Oxford. Prior to his departure a large crowd assembled on the platform and indulged in repeated cheering and the singing of "Auld Lang Syne." Mr. Gladstone bowed his acknowledgments from the carriage window several times, but did not make any observation to the crowd. As the train left the station there was further cheering, which was continued until the train was out of sight. The first stopping place was at Birmingham, and here Mr. Gladstone met with a rather mixed reception from a crowd of people who had assembled on dile platform. Sir Walter Foster was amongst those who were waiting for the arrival of the train, and durtni nearly the Whole of the stoppage he was engaged in cod. ver.ation with the ex- Premier, amidst cheers and groaml from the bystanders, which were repeated with renewed vigour as the train left. Warwick was reached at CM. The station was crowded with people, who continued cheering during the whole of the time that the train remained. At Leamington the station was thronged with people, and as the train entered the station a rush was made to the saloon in which Mr. Gladstone was travelling,and several people narrowly escaped being pushed underneath the wheels of the train. The crowd literally besieged the carriage,some men attempting to climb on to the roof. Mr. and Mn. Gladstone left the train at Oxford,where they were to visit the Warden of Keble College. As Mr. Gladstone escorted Mrs. Gladstone to a closed carriage in waiting outside the station he was loudly hooted by a crowd of about 200, consisting for the most part of undergraduates.

The Australian mail brings news of the discovery of two large nuggets of gold in the Roeburne district of Western Australia. The larger one weighed 1600 z. and the smaller 103 oz. An unusual feature about the latter is the fact that it was dip-covered lying on the surface, and it was at first actually kicked away by its finder in ignorance of its real value. At Bendigo, in the colony of Victoria, gold is now being procured at the depth. of 2,400 ft, from the au'-face. This is the greatest depth to which. the gold-seekers of the Antipodes have so far penetrated.

The young man'e boots were found to be saturated with blood, presumably from his father's head and face, which were terribly injured. The prisoner was remanded. The value has been declared at £24,324 of the personal estate in England of the Duc de Padoue (M.
