FRANCE . Another p let bas been discoven > d—this time in Paris , and , as it is said , Ledro Eollin is implicated in it . In connexion with this plot we are told the following on the authority of two French legitimist papers : — A warrant had been issued for the apprehension of M . Anthoine , who was employed in the office of the ' Voix da Present . ' When the commissioner of police arrived at the office to execute the warrant , he fonnd M . Anthoine in cosipany with MCarre , who is his brother-in-law . M . Carre explained the reason for his being there , which was ,
tiat on that very day his daughter was to be married to a relative of * M . Anthoine , and the lattn having lrf t shortly before the commencement o the ceremony , and not returning so soon as was expected , M . Carre had come to the newspaper-offics to look for him . While this conversation was going on , M . Marchais brought to M . Antheinjg a letter which he had written to Lfdru Rollin , and requested that it mig ht be forwarded . Tbe letter tras immediately opened by the commissioner of police , who fonnd that it contained a request for 2 , 000 f . from M . Ledru Rolliu to support a canvass ia his favour for the presidency . This letter wa 6 laid upon the chimney-piece while the commissioner
drew np his prooes verbal . A few minutes afterwards it had disappeared . The commissioner searched MM . Marcha > 3 and Anlhoiae to no purpose , but M . Carre being a magistrate , he did n < t feel authorised to search him . On M . Carre being about to leave , however , the commissioner begged him to slay a little longer , and then M . Marchais , talking to M . Carre , expressed his regret to find himself implicated in the matter . M . Carre told him not to alarm himself , that after a three months ' imprisonment the accusation would be withdrawn , that it was a melancholy state of things , but that was the sort of justice to which they must become accustomed after the events of Lyons . M . Carre then insisted upon leaving , and was allowed to do 80 ; but before he left had told tbe commissioner that II . Anthoine lived in his house , fine
Montaigne , No . 27 . The police immediately went there to make a search , and were received by M . Cane's son , who , after some hesitation , admitted that M . Anthoine bad never lived there , and that his domicile was at Saint Monde . It is asserted that SI . Rouher , the minister of justice , is much struct by the recital of these fasts , and that if they should be confirmed by a judicial report , he will cause M . Carre to be cited either before the Court of Appeal , or before the united chambers of the Court of Cassation to explain his conduct . M . Carre was formerly President of the Court of Justice of Tours , and afterwards Prefect of the Indre and Loire . He was appointed to his present position by M . Cremieux , when the latter was Minister of Justice . The arrests continue .
A seizure of arms was made ou Friday under the following circumstances : —At two in the afternoon a waggon , belonging to Direz and Co ., curriers , Hue Ponceau , entering Paris by the barrier of Bercy , was stopped for the usual 'octroi' examination . A package and several cases addressed to a grocer in Paris , were declared to contain coffee and chicory , but on examination of one of the casea , it -was found that underneath a layer of chicory several fowling pieces and pistols , many of the latter revolvers , were concealed . The waggon being taken to the nearest military post it was discovered that all the cases contained arms . Notwithstanding the suspicious nature of these circumstances , which are in course of investigation , the latest accounts of the affair tend to show that it is unconnected with politics .
Further disturbances have taken place in the Ardeche , in consequence of the determination of the authorities to prevent the usual annual fetes from being held . The result of the deliberations of eighty-one councils general is now known . Of these , seventyfive have pronounced in some form or another for the revision : sixty-five have voted for legal revision according to the 111 th article of the constitution ; in other words , they are favourable to revision , pro . vided a majority of three-fourths of the Assembly will vote for it ; and such a majority , or anything
approaching to it , is wnveraatty admitted to be out of the question . Five only have asked especially for the revision of the article forty-five , which renders the President ineligible to be re-elected ; and of these , bat one has demanded in terms the proiongatien of the powers of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte . One has asked for the re-establishment of traditional and hereditary monarchy ; four have voted against any revision ; and two have declined to express any opinion upon pelitical subjects . Accounts remain to be received from four councils only , namely , those of Gard , Isere , Morbiban , and Rhone .
The ' Debits' carries the number of arrests to 178 , of wham the greater part are Germans ; and it is not known to what extent these arrests may not be pushed . It is more than likely that the proceedings just engaged in have been undertaken with the view of frightening away foreign workmen , and thus getting rid of oue element of danger before the year 1852 . It is worthy of notice that these foreign workmen have been arrested in groups in the different cafes they were in the habit of frequenting . Thus forty-five were arrested in a cafe in the Rue
Faubourg Poissoniere , twenty-five in another near tbe Post-office , twenty in a cafe in the Palai 3 Royal , and so oo . It would thus seem that upon information to the Prefect of Police that at such a cafe , being frequented by foreigners from such and such a country where they drink , sing songs , and talk politics , which imply little deference for the Pope , the King of Naples , or the Landgrave of Hesse , warrants are at once issued , and the communists , as they are all taken for granted to be , walked off to p rison , to the great satisfaction of foreign
governments . Tae dismissal of General Creny from active service for having gone to England without special permission on the occasion of the religious celebration of King Louis Philippe s death , has occasioned considerable excitement and much surprise . It is true that the dismissal is perfectly justifiable according to the written rules of tbe service , but the rule in question is as formal , and as seldom acted upon , as the strict rnle of police , by which a passport is requisite to go to Versailles or St . Cloud . The harshness of the measure is the more remarked , because General Creny is notoriously a legitimist , and merely went to England out of respect to the royal family .
At tbe last election for a representative of the department of the Haute-Vienne the legitimists abstained from voting , in order to make way for the election of the Elyseon candidate . Twenty influential members of the legitimist party have sonpublished an address to the electors of that department , to inform them that abstention can no longer be the policy of the legitimist party , and that tbe tims has come when they must actively support their opinions . All strangers arriving at Paris with the intention of remaining there are now required to procure within three days a permit de scjour . Eight days ftre accorded for this pnrpose to these forei gners who already reside in Paris . The non-performance of this requirement will be followed by expulsion .
This ordinance does rot apply to travellers not intending to remain at Paris and who are provided Vfith passports . Seventy-nine out of eig hty-four of the Councils General have voted for revision in some form or other . The ' Evsnement' was seized on Tuesday last for an article headed ( A Confession / and a prosecution is directed agaiust the responsible editor and M . F . V . Hugo , the writer of the article , for ex-Citing to hatred and | contempt of the government of the Republic . ^ About forty of the foreigners recently arrested have been set at liberty , upon the understanding £ they are t 0 auit ? rMC 5 ^ ihe lea 8 t pos 8 ible

NAPLES . —The official journal ( Au ? . 29 th . ) contains an article of defiance , directed equally against her Majesty ' s government and Mr , Gladstone . First against the member for Oxford , who is accused of exaggeration and falsehood ; and , secondly , against her Majesty ' s minister as repre . stnied by Lord Palmerston . The government organ promised victoriously' to clear his Sicilian Majesty ' s advisers by a reply to Mr . Gladstone ' s letters . The official article says : 'Had not the siieecli from the throne a&sured us that her
Maesty's government was in friendly relations with foreign powers , vre should have doubted such to be the case , from the charactfr of Lord Palmerston ' s reply to Sir De Lacy Evans . ' Mr . Gladstone ' s assenions are then designated as false , absurd , and iniquitous culumnies . ' We are then reminded that Lord Palmemon has violated di plomatic etiquette , by distributing Mr . Gladstone ' s letters amongst the forei gn governments . The public is told to expect from authentic documents " a full refutation of Mr , Gladstone ' s assertions .
ROME . —Our accounts from Rome , among many melancholy instances of the tyranny to which the unfortunate Romans are subjected , mentions that poor Calandrelli , tbe flower of valour and honour , after many months of the harshest treatment ia the prisons of the Castle of St . Angelo and St . Michel , was as length condemned either to death , or to imprisonment for life . By the intercession of the Prussian government , this sentence was commuted to paruetual banishment , but although a considerable Unie has elapsed , Calandrelli still languishes in confinement . The four young men who were
condemned to twenty years' imprisonment for burning Bengal lights on the anniversary of the republic , have also obtained the favour of banishment instead of their former sentence . The unfortunate Ercoli , who was condemned to twenty years in chains , for having found fault with a person who was smoking a cigar , has died of despair in the dungeons of Kami . Application has been made to introduce a body df Swiss , Spanish , German , Neapolitan , and other foreign mercenaries into Rome , to be under the orders of either the Maegiordotno or of the Prefect of the Sacred Palace . But the French commander
will not listen to such a proposition . The 21 st French regiment lately arrived is much more republican than the regiment it has replaced . The government is uneasy atthe state of opinion amongst the troops , and the people , oppressed in every way , is irritated to the highest degree .
GERMANY . It ia stated on good authority , that a radical change in the conititution of the Prussian army is in contemplation , as both the Frankfort Diet and the Prussian government think its present constitution may be eventually dangerous to authority . To show whence this fear arises , it will be necessary to remind our readers how the Prussian army is constituted . Every able-bodied man in Prussia is a soldier . Those who have received a collegiate education are obliged to serve one year in the line , and all others
ihree years . Of these one year and tbree year soldiers the army of Prussia , excluding of course officers , is entirely composed . After the expiration of their term of service these soldiers are sent to their home to follow their respective civil callings , but they cease not to be soldiers ; they belong then to the Landwehr , are every year drilled and exercised in military manoeuvres , and continue in this sort ot militia service till they arrive at the age of fifty , when they are transferred to the' Storm' veterans , who can only be called upon to take arms to repel invasion , or on some equally pressing emergency .
Thus , it will be perceived , by its present constitution , the soldiery of the Prussian army undergoes almost a complete change every three years . But in these three years . the recruit bas become expert in all military exercises , has acquired much military knowledge , and , when thus accomplished , the government loses his services , and the people , it may be , not tbe state , gains a stout soldier . The danger incurred by despotism is thus two-fold : 1 st , it possesses no physical-force arm on which it can confidently rely ; and , 2 ndly , a military population is formed with which it may have to contend . But the Prussian army has always been lauded by the King and his Minister for its loyalty .
The distrust which it is now prospectively awakening most originate , therefore , in some prospective policy much more stringently despotic than Prussia has as yet ever known . A standing army like that which other countries possess will be substituted , it is said , for tbe present military organisation . But exceeding dangerous will be even the attempt to effect this change . And of this the government are aware , for it ia to be brought about by gradual , almost imperceptible , steps . Nevertheless , however desirable , however essential for tbe purposes in view , a mercenary
anticitizen force may be , us realisation is doubtful . The hazard is too great . The whole army and Landwebr , which constitute tbe ministry ' s whole strength , would declare against it . Any serious mention of the project would raise a nest of hornets about the ears of the court ; and with a deep suppressed discontent , wide spread throughout the nation , to alieniate the affections of the army , to drive them to make common causa with the people , U what no cabinet will be found sufficiently demented to do ; though it is hard to say what the Manteuffel cabinet will not do , or where they will stop , in their headlong backward course .
The Frankfort Diet bas taken its first resolution , says the Augsburg Gazette , ' in commercial affairs . It has adopted as the basis of deliberation in these matters , the resolutions of the Dresden Conferences . The Augsburg Gazette' says that the Diet has again called special men together , to give it special information on the subject . The same journal affirms that the Diet have come to the formal resolution , that it has authority to establish a common principle on which to act in regulating the constitutions of the divers states .
The Hanoverian correspondent of the ' Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung ' repeats tbe announceruen that in the sitting of the Frankfort Diet of the 23 rd , ult ., the' fundamental tights' of the German people , as they were laid down in the Paul ' s Church Assembly , were abolished . This act , however , it is to be remarked , did not take place in a plenum , or full sitting , but was a resolution of the EngereRatb , and was not decided on unanimously , but by a majority of twelve . To this resolution was appended the expressed expectation of the Bund , that any states where these rights are still acknowledged would lose no time in formally
abrogating them , that the federal power mi ght not be under the necessity of doing this in the name of the confederation , Bqj , as this act was neither the act of the plenum , nor carried by unanimity , it is legally binding on those Blates only which adopt it voluntarily , thoHgh it is not probable it will meet with any resistance ^ If it do , it will only be for the sake oi asserting the invalidity of majority resolutions , and the validity alone of those which are sanctioned by unanimous votes . The resolution of the Bund on the subjecf , " says the Preussiseue Zeitung , ' has been officiall y communicated to all the states of Germany .
BELGIUM . The Belgian Chambers have just been prorogued somewhat suddenly . It may be recollected that a short time since , the ministry resi gned office in consequence of the Chamber refusing to sanction a new tax on successions . After upwards of a fort night spent in negotiation with the heads of divers parties , the King found it impossible to bring a cabinet into existence ; the old ministers were induced to resume their seats , and the obnoxious law passed with some Blight changes The opposition did not , however , give up the game , and had succeeded in defeating the ministry on the Succession Tax Bill in the Senate . The result has been the prorogation of the Chambers .
TURKEY . KOSSDTH , The United States steam frigate Mississippi , the largest steam frigate in the American navy , while on her way to Constantinople ta receive LOUIS KOBsuth , the Hungarian chieftain , and convey him to America , ran ashore on the ni ght of the 21 st ult . on the point off St . James ' s Castle , in Smyrna Bay ! close to the light-house . The Euxine happened to
be paBBing at the time , and with three other vessels , attempted to tow her off , but they were unable to accomplish it . Such was the force with which the Mississippi had run ashore that some portion of her keel was literary high and dry . It is probable tbal she is not off yet , and it she has experienced rough weather she lias been in the utmost danger of being wrecked . To get her off at all it was believed that everything would have to be taken out of her . It w probable that this sad disaster will alter the
> resent destiny of Kossutb , and instead of being taken direct from Turkey to the United States , his wis hes will be gratified by visiting England first , it is highly probable now that Kossuth will embark Com !!?? e ? board the Peninsula and Oriental company steamer Taeus which calls there on the

20 tH of this month , and if so Kossuth , his family , and ' ibis distinguished fellovr . captives , will arrive in Southampton Water about the 5 th of next month . By the Levant mail we have received Constantinople journals of the 24 tb ult . Several changes have just taken place in the Turkish ministry . The Capitan Pacha ( Soliman Pacha ) has been replaced by Mehemet AH , the brother-in-law of the Sultan , and formerly Minister of "War . The Minister of Finance had been also removed , and replaced by NazU Pacha , who bad before ¦ filled that post , and whose bad management had led to an inquiry , which is not yet completed ,
At the time of the departure of the mail it was still understood that on the 1 st September the refugees of Kutaliia weie to leave that place for Jeumelk , in the Gulf of Macedonia , where they would embark on board a Turkish steamer , which was to convey them to the Dardanelles . Here they expected the American steam-frigate the Mississippi would await their arrival ; but this , as in consequence of the accident experienced by that vessel , 18 now doubtful . The persons who will accompany Kossuth and his family areM . Lemmi , his private secretary ( a Tuscan , ) Generals PerrceL and Wisosky , and Count Batthjany ; the ttiree last have their families with them . ' Twenty other superior officers will also follow Kossuth .
PERSIA . Among the passengers by the Euxine ( which arrived last Saturday ) was his Excellency Skefiab Khan , an ambassador from Persia to the court of St . James . He was tbe second foreign ambassador which arrived at Southampton in the Oriental Company ' s steamers during last week , Count Lavradio , the Portuguese ambassador , having landed at Southampton from tbe Montrose a few days previous . As an accredited ambassador direct from tbe court of Teheran has never been known in this country some considerable interest was . excited in Southampton by the arrival of hia excellency . He is a fine handsome man , about forty years of
age . He was dressed in the costly and picturesque costume worn by the highest ranks in Persia . The sleeves and collar of his cloak were ornamented with gold embroidery ; the clasp of his girdle wbb . studded with diamonds , and a brilliant star was suspended on his breast . He wore the high . conical cap of the Persian country . He was accompanied by a dragoman and a servant . An . extensive suite accompanied him from Persia to Turkey , nearly tbe whole of which he took leave of at Constantinople . On arriving at Southampton , the ambassador claimed the courtesies from tbe government autho rities , ivariably accorded to the accredited
representatives of foreign countries . Unfortunately , bowever , the Custom-house authorities had received no notice of his anticipated arrival , nor any Treasury order to pass his baggage ) consisting of about thirty packages , without examination . His excellency stated that Sir Stratford Canning , our ambassador at Constantinople , was aware of his mission to England , and had engaged to acquaint the English government with it . It appears that the Persian Ambassador was stopping wiih Sir Stratford during his stay in Constantinople . Of course all the courtesy which the authorities at Southampton could show the ambassador consistent with their
imperative duties were shewn him , and telegraphic announcements to the government departments in London were sent by them stating the arrival of the ambassador and soliciting immediate instruction how to ac . Although the Shah of Persia is independent of the Sublime Porte , the Ottoman viceconsul at Southampton , Mr . Jourdain , telegraphed to the Turkish embassy , and almost immediately received instructions from M . Mussurus , the Turkish ambassador , to pay the representative of the Shah every respect and attention , but unfortu » nately these instructions came too late , for his excellency bad left Southampton for London by an early train , apparently displeased with his .
reception in Southampton , and leaving all his baggage in possession of the Custom-house authorities . Un his arrival at the railway station ; to proceed to London by the 11 , 30 a . m . train , the railway authorities paid him every respect , and the superintendent of the station gave him a coupe for himself and secretary . The ambassador reached Constantinople by way of Trebisond and the Black Sea . During his voyage in the Euxine be sat at table in the saloon with the other passengers , and was not mote particular in his diet than liberal Musselmen usually are . He drank bis tea out of a glass
tumbler , making it sweet and hot , without milk or cream . He rigorously abstained from wines and spirituous liquors . He smoked much ; His manners onboard during the voyage were extremely gentlemanly , and he is evidently a roan of education and refinement . He cannot speak English . -His secretary , and who acted as dragoman , is a true horn Persian , and was educated in India . After the departure of his excellency from Southampton , orders were received there from the' government to allow him all the rights and privileges accorded to ambas sailors of tbe highest rank .
CUBA . , By the Africa we have news from Cuba via Hew York , dated the 27 th of August . . The intelligence which we have of the movements towards and in Cuba is up to this moment very contradictory , but highly important . There ia no doubt but that considerable accessions to the forces oi the invaders from tbe United States are going on , and the steamer Pampero , which took out Lopez , has not only appeared boldly off Havana , and been signalled from the Moro , but has landed her forces , and returned to tbe southern coast for more / Two
or three steamers have also taken over reinforcements . It would seem that the fifty Americans who were taken in launches by the Spanish Admiral , were on an expedition to capture a fort ; this is one account . Another , however , says that they had captured a fort , and finding they were not joined by any of the Creoles , they attempted to escape . Our latest intelligence from the island by the way of New Orleans and Savannah is to this effect : —Lopez , after appearing off Havana , landed at Moretty , twelve mile 3 from Babia Houda , and took
possession of the town of Las -Posas . Directly a column of 800 troops proceeded by sea to attack him , and a battle was fought on the 12 th Of the month at San Mi g uel , near Las Posas . The steamer Pizarro , which was a part of the expedition , in the meantime grounded at Babia Honda , and , was in the dilemma of being wrecked or captured . Lopez fought two battles and won them ; he then advanced to San Diego de Nines , to secure the fruits of his victory . The Spaniards admit their loss to have been very severe—some four or five hundred . On
the contrary , the Spanish accounts say the battle was renewed , and Lopez defeated and taken prisoner . We have also reports" that Lopez ' s forces have largely increased in number , and that people were openly leaving Havana with the intention of joining him . That a great part of the island is in astateofinsurreciion , we cannot well doubt , and the result seems yet to be doubtful . The President hasretumed suddenly to Washington , and called his cabinet together in the emergency . A United States steamer , with a messenger , is by this time gone to Havana .
Meantime a most riotous feeling has been displaying itself at New Orleans . As soon as the news of the death of the fifty Americans was heard a mob proceeded to the office of the Spanish newspaper , ' La Patria , ' sacked it , and destroyed all its printing materials . They proceeded to the Spanish Consul s office and treated it in the same manner and then destroyed all the S panish ci gar shops kept by Spaniards . This feeling is said to havo been produced by the arrival of the dead bodies of two of the officers who had been shot , and the pretence that the Spanish Cowsul bad refused to deliver up some letters written by the killed on the eve of their massacre .
We are informed , by later accounts , that one of the Spanish account by the Empire City , which arrived at New Orleans from Cuba , states that on the day after the execution of the Cuban invaders the Spanish forces encountered Loptz and gave him battle , which resulted in the total annihilation of the American sympathisers . At New York , in spite of the utmost efforts of the patriots , the Cuban excitement bad much diminished , and could only be revived , it Was be ] j evcd by a confirmation of the mutilation of the remains of the fifty prisoners who were shot . The invasion itself is countenanced by few of the journals of the Union ; but the shooting of the prisoners ia ] aaented by all .
The mail steam-ships plying between New York and Havannah and Cbagres are being armed . The Cnerokee , which sailed last week from New York for Chagrea , via Havanr , ab , went well armed , having on board ten fine guns , 8 iz of which were for thf SlfLr ^ rf ° f Wflr firin « <* ° « ^ e Americans ^ great offen < * *•> ^ _ CANADA . fronx .

now b efore the Canadian legislature , which places the Seignerial tenure upon & different footing , thoug h it will neither be abolished nor commuted . The effect of this bill will be to relieve the tenants of many of their burdens . It provides that no fu ture concessions of land shall be made at a rate exceeding four sous rent to the acre . This is not to interfere with the rents now paid , which amount in raany instances to twenty sous an acre . Tbe bill had passed a second reading at our last dates , by a roajomy of met thirty . The legality of the rectory patents is to be tested by an appeal to tbe udicial tribunals , either the public or the rectors to lave the rig ht of appeal to the Privy Council in En gland ; the expense of the suit on both sides being borne by the province .
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . THE KAFFIR WAR . By the Hellespont mail steamer , Captain Watts , which left the Cape on the 1 st of August , we have the ' following intelligence : — _ In the last accounts it was mentioned that Sir Kerry was said to be preparing , on the 21 st of June for an important movement , by which he entertained a hope of being able to bring the war to a close . The movement in question proved to be , as was anticipated , a simultaneous advance of the several divisions of the army upon the enemy ' s strongholds in tbe Amatolas . These operations occupied six days , from the 24 th to the oOlh o ! and of
June , and resulted in the defeat dispersion some large bodies of the enemy , and the capture of upwards of 2 , 000 bead . 'of cattle . The troops had hardly , withdrawn from the Amatolas . when the Kaffirs and Ho ttentots descended from their fastnesses and poured into the colony in overwhelming numbers . The whole country between those mountains and the village of Somerset was overrun by the hostile bauds . Atone time that village was in imminent danger from the vicinity of a body of several hundred Kaffirs , ' under the chief Macomo . In answer to pressing demands for aid , Major Gen . Somerset , who had been engaged in another successful patrol in the Amatolaa , was directed to proceed
against the enemies within the colony . He accordingly removed his head-quarters from Fort Hare to Fort Beaufort , and has been , down to the date of the last advices , eugaged iu scouring the country in that quarter , and endeavouring to check the ravages of tbe enemy . In this object he has been Onlv partially successful , the numbers and activity of the natives being so great as to render the incessant and arduous exertions of bis troops insufficient to restrain them . The efforts made by the colonists to defend their property have also been in a great measure unavailing . The wide tract of country
between the Baviaan's and Kat Rivers has been completely devastated * , the dwellings of the inhabitants hsve been burnt , and—according to an estimate that has been forimed—about 20 , 000 merino sheep , 3 , 000 head of cattle , and three hundred horses swept away , within the past " six weeks . Several of the farmers have been killed in defending their homesteads ; and many , despairing of relief , were withdrawing into the colony , Not a few , it is said , have determined to cross the northern boundary , and trek , ' or emigrate , bejond the limits oi the British dominion .
The difficulties of the commander in chief have been much increased by the refusal of most of the colonial volunteers of the' levies' to continue in the field after the expiration of their six months' term of enlistment , which expired at the commencement of the present month . The majority of these volunteers were Hottentots from the western districts Orders were subsequently issued for raising an additional force of 1 , 000 volunteers in the western districts . The levy was in progress , and several of ti e recently-discharged Volunteers have re enlisted , together with some new recruits ; but it is doubtful whether the whole number required will be raised .
From the country beyond the northern boundary the latest intelligence is calculated to excite much anxiety . J * he British resident , Major Warden , in interfering to check the quarrels among the native tribes , who were causing much bloodshed and devastation , has suffered a repulse , accompanied with a loss of 100 of his native allies .

THB GOLD IN N 1 W SOUTH -WALES . Advices have been received from Sydney up to May 29 th , and from Bathurst up to M&y 24 th , by the Teviot . They were obtained from the ship Thomas Arbuthnot , which touched at Pernambuco on her way from Sydney to'England . Some of the crew of her Majesty ' s steamer Acheron , were -sent home in her to work her quickly in order to convey to the English government the important intelligence that a gold mine had been discovered at Bathurst . The utmost confusion and excitement
prevailed at Bathurst , and hundreds of persons were going to the diggings , A thousand pounds worth of gold had arrived in Sydney from the gold mines within the last two ot three days . Provisions at the diggings had risen to an enormous price . Great dissatisfaction prevailed amongst the miners on account of government having overlooked the claims of Hit , Hargraves . The miners at present at the diggings are 1 , 500 in number . Many are getting from £ 20 to . " 640 worth a week . In digging for the gold , rubies" have beea discovered 5 n the Manning River .
The following extracts from the' Empire , ' Sydney paper , of the 21 st , 22 nd , and 23 rd of May last , with respect to the discovery , are of interest : — 1 The sum of the information contained in the letters from Outburst is , that there is gold , but ureat uncertainty and difficulty in getting it . The following is an extract of a letter from an extensive landholder in tbe Bathurst district : — " ' We are all in the greatest excitement here , some from joy , somefromdespair , anticipatingfamine , disease and death . I am glad to hear the military are coming up ; we shall sadly want them . Went to the diggings , and in three hours got one ounce of gold in one bright lump . Carriage is so high I am afraid we shall not be able to get up supplies , "'
Another letter received by a Sydney merchant , states that rock salt has been discovered in the search for gold . A regular company is at work under the auspices of a member of Council , whose daily operations average in their result a full ounce per man . The ' Maitland Mercury' states that gold haB been discovered in the tract of country , situate between Summerhill on tbe south , and Dubbo on the north , and known as the Wellington district . The more authentic accounts warrant us in believing that one large piece of nine ounces , and two or three small pieces of several ounces weight , and aome pounds of grain , and tot \\ m already been found by the parties engaged in digging there . Three apprentices who ran away from Bathurst returned in a few days with 17 ounces of gold , which sold for JE 51 .
Considerable quantities of gold and gold dust were waiting at Bathurst when the Thomas Arbuthnot left Sydney , until an escort should convey it to thelatterpla . ee . The above-mentioned ship has a piece o { fcold on board weighing 4 £ lbs . ; it is from Bathurst , and is intended to be placed in the Great Exhibition .

A frightful eruption of the long dormant volcano of the Pelee Mountain , in Martinique , took place during the night of Tuesday , August 5 th . Like the great and memorable eruption of the St . Vincent Soufriere in 1812 , the phenomenon at Martinique is described as having been' accompanied With " a noise similar to the approach of hunder , still nearer and nearer , with a vibration that affected the feelings and hearing . ' It appears , however , that , beyond a layer " of grey sand , gritty particles of calcined earth , and fevilla , found m the morning upon tho streets , houses , arid Bhipping , as having been thrown forth by the volcano in tbo night , the people of St .
