      appearance presenting some slight resemblance to that of a Spanish brigand ; he wore a close scarlet limbs wool shirt , a rough brown jacket , buckakin breeches , with boori reaching a little above the knee , a slouched hat , and a belt , from which dangled a p ocket pistol on one side , a dirk on the other , and a cartridge pouch behind . This constituted bis working dress , the jacket only being thrown off wtetf the weather was Warm . The fierceness of the aspect of this individual , however , was probably owing to his Californian reminiscences , as the wheel of forttine had previously carried him to the American El Dorado . The appearance of the upper part of the creek , about eight or nine o ' clock in the

      evening , states an eyewitness , is very singular , and would form a good study for a painter . -The rows of tents and gunyahs of every description , with large blazing fires , and knots of human beings flitting before them , have a very unique effect . The shouts and laughter of boys , mingled with occasional discharges of firearms , give additional singularity to the scene , which when viewed from the high abrupt ranges , bas something rather unearthly about it . In the day time the swarms of human beings rocking cradles in the bed of the creek , and the intensity of attention with which they pursue their work , show that the diggers possess in a strong degree the qualities of energy and perseverance . Many will be seen there who never before performed a day ' s hard work in their lives now strenuously working

      with the pick , shovel , and crowbar , lifting heavy stones , carrying over stony roads buckets heaped with soil containing the golden deposit , or working tbe rockers , being at the time soaking wet up to or above their knees . Great , order and unanimity prevail , a little bantering occasionally diversifying the scene , whilst all seem in good spirits , kept alive by their golden hopes , which , however , in numberless cases , end in disappointment . During the last three days , the number of persons who had arrived at Bathurst en route to the diggings was estimated at no less than fifteen hundred ; independent of this , numbers were daily wending their way by other routes , so that in the course of a mouth it was thought there would be at least 10 , 000 persons on the ground , even , allowing a heavy margin for those who might leave .

      As regards the weather , which may reasonably be expected to have an important influence on the yield , it , is stated that for the last four nights the cold bad been exceedingly severe , although in the day time the sun shone brightly .. Some of the diggers were working in a mizzling sleety rain , whilst in other parts ef the neighbourhood a heavy fall of snow had taken place ; so that many were already beginning to wish for tbeir comfortable beds and warm firesides , and were anxious to regain the genial winters to which they had been accustomed at Sydney . Fears were entertained in many districts that the cultivation of the land would be very seriously interfered with by the prevalent excitement . ^ Many farmers were rushing off . from their avocations to try their luck atthe diggings *

      A person writing from Maitland states that , if the mania lasted-any length of time , the town would be drained of its population , as every one was preparing to start . The prices of aU kinds of provisions had advanced within the last few days 30 per cent . Labour of any kind was scarcely procurable , and permanent engagements were quite out of the question . Few cases of violence at the diggings bad been heard of , but it was scarcely to be expected thai

      this would continue . In one case summary and exemplary punishment was inflicted by two young men on a dishonest comrade , who was entrusted with the sale of some gold at Bathurat , and made a false return ; and this made tbe place ' too hot to hold him . ' A few petty robberies of mining implements , &c , were also now and then heard of-Much improvidence was manifested by the Hiost successful parlies , a case of luck , being instantly made use of to replenish the kegs , and enjoy a few days" spree . ' ¦

      The local papers are nearly full of advertisements of articles of dress , food , and otherwise of necessity to the visitor to the gold regions , whilst nearly every shopkeeper seems to have become a purchaser of the produce of ; the diggers' labours . With a view to appease the prevalent curiosity and present means of affording distant friends an actual view of the precious metal itself , one man very obligingly advertises' handsome specimens from the Ouhir diggings , ' weighing eight , ten , twelve , and fourteen ounces . An order had been issued by the government for the payment of £ 500 to Mr . Hargraves , as a re-Ward for the information given by him respecting the Bathurst gold field .

      AMERICA . By the United States mail steamship Pacific , Captain Nye , we have advices from York to the 2 ? th . She brings £ 120 , 000 in specie . A very destructive five had occurred at Buffalo . Great consternation prevailed in New York owing to the rumoured instability of the banks ; more than half-a-dozen had been named as weak . The influence upon the stock-market of the pressure of rtoney was severely felt . Government stocks had suffered less than any other . The banka that have already failed are the People's Bank and the Commercial Bank . The market for foreign exchange to send by the Pacific waH rather weak , the scarcity of money limiting purchasers very materially .

      Great excitement had also been caused by the flogging of an abolitionist , in the state of Virginia , and his compulsory removal from the state . The affair is thus described in the New York papers : — " The Vigilance Committee of Grayson county , Virginia , on the 13 th ulfc . irresfceo John Cornutt , a friend of Bacon ' s , tho Ohio abolitionist . They at first requested him to renounce his abolition sentiments , which he refused to do . They then stripped him , tied him to a tree , and , after receiving a dozen lashes , he agreed to renonnce absolutionism , sell his land and negroes , and leave the state . Great excitement prevailed , and the committe were in pursuit of others .

      members of the commission present at Turin . The men" are perfectly satisfied with their visit to the Crystal Palace , and to the great manufactories in the neighbourhood of London . When the Minister re . commended them to be paterns to their fellow , workmen by communicating to them the informar tion they had obtained from their journey , they ex « pressed a wish that an exhibition could be organised , to ' which they would bring all the objects of their art with the improvements which they had learnt in London . ¦ It is very easy to see that they will be very grateful , and will , not forget the advantages which they owe to the . generosity of their feltowcitizens , and to the solicitude of the government .

      The ' Marsouin ' anchored at Paimbceuf on the 26 th ult ., with eig hteen desperate convicts , whose conduct bad been bo bad at Toulon that they were ordered to be removed for more security to the galleys at Brest . While they were taking the-air on the deck by the indulgence of the captain , one of them , finding himself without his irons , stabbed the keeper with a knife . The cries of the victim brou g ht the officers and sailors upon deck . The comrades of the assassin refused to point him out , but the wounded man with difficulty found strength to do so , and on the sailors attempting to secure him , tbe villain swore he would kill somebody , and rushed furiously at the officers . - Two pistol shots failed to induce him to surrender , and ultimately one of the keepers shot him dead on the spot with his carbine . '

      . . Last week , - whilst two battalioHS of the gendarmerie mobile were exercising themselves at firing in the Champ-de-Mars , Paris , as is the custom every Wednesday , several officers were seen making signals with red and white flags from' the platform over the Pavilion Marsan , at the Tuileries . The passers-by could not make out what the cause of such movements could be , particularly as many were alarmed at the sound of fire-arms , being ignorant of the exercise which was going on in tbe Cbamp-de-Mars . The object of the signals was to ascertain If , bv means of flags , a correspondence could he effected with , all the detached forts which command Paris . It appears that a correspondence was so established with the forth of Montrouge , St . Dertis . MontValerien , aud Vmeennes .

      ' " ¦ The races at Algiers , lately founded by the Minister of War , took place on September 28 . A number of Arab chiefs , and aa many as 1 , 500 natives on horseback , attended . There was room for 3 , 000 spectators in the stands , which were well filled , and the neighbouring hills were crowded with spectators . There were only two races in which French and native horses were pitted against each other , and in each of these the former ' were victorious .

      BRANCE . The . same spirit which dictated the refusal to allow kossuth and his family to cross France , prevails in every department of the administration . The mayor of St . Michel , M . Laugier , has been suspended by the Prefect of the Basses-Alpes for directing tbe Interment of a Protestant ' s infant child in a Catholic cemetery . The terms in which the Prefect justifies this harsh measure form an excellent pendant to the official style of M . Saleau , the Prefect of Marseilles . He says : — 'The mayor Laugier , of St . Michel is suspended for having caused to be interred on his own authority , and in spite of the warnings given to him , in the part of

      the cemetery reserved to the Catholic religion , an infant not baptised according to the rites of this religion , which he ought to have considered as having died without baptism , and have buried as such , since the state has not recogaised the Protestants of St . Michel ; also for not having awaited , as lie was by tw bidden , the decision of the government upon the legal existence of the Protestants of his commune . ' Thus , as the Prefect of Marseilles cannot recognise the existence of Kossuth on shore , the Prefect of the Basses-AIpes cannot recognise the existence of the Protestants of his department , and considers an infant baptised by a Protestant clergyman as an infant not baptised at all . This is the Pharisaical

      alang , the crabbed argot and narrow rigour of formality which characterises the ' Jacks in office' of an illiberal administration . It is unfortunate that A tone which grates so harshly on the ear of com . mon sense and humanity should be now . given all over official Prance by the tuning fork of the Minister of the Interior . Meanwhile , although it is true that 3 decree of the second year of the republic enact that ' no law authorises the refusal of sepulture in the public cemeteries to deceased citizens , whatever may have been their religions opinions or professions , ' this does not prevent the interment of Protestants in a place apart unconsecrated , and stignjatised . by the abomination of desolation .

      A correspondent , writing from Paris on the 5 th inBt ., says : — ^ The fact which most strikes the traveller who rerjaaitts some limein France and at Paris is , a certain ¦ nameless brutality , with which anti-liberal and antisocial principles , such as a few years ago were found revolting alike to French sentiment , generosity , and good taste , are to-day confessed and even proclaimed . And here , let me not be understood as speaking merely of the lower classes , of democrats and socialists—no , I speak of the Aonneles gens , of the ' good citizens' of the middle classes , the readers of the « Constitutionnel' and' Debats . ' But yesterday the journals reported a process before the Conseil de Guerre at Paris which places in a very clear light

      the social position of Paris and of France . A soldier jn garrison at Paris went to visit bis brother , a Korkman , ten years his senior . Tbe soldier was invited to dine with his industrious brother , eat of bis bread , drink of his innocent wine , and when he left Was offered a trifle of money to pay for bis cabriolet to the barracks . Now the young soldier taking it into his head that he was degraded by this offer of money , to square the account commences fighting with his kinsman . A neighbour of the latter , who knew him as an honest and industrious man , vexed to see him ill-used , threw himself between the brothers , and administered to the soldier 8 box of the ear . The latter drew his bayonet , plncged it into the mouth of him who dealt the blow , and killed him on the spot .

      The court-martial has just terminated the investigation by simply acquitting the soldier-murderer . The same journal which yesterday contained an account of these proceedings and their denouement —a tale whicn , a few years ago , would have revolted the whole nation—to-day reprints with satisfaction an order of the day issued by a colonel to his regiment , on its departure from Matz to go into garri son at Paris . T&is officer exclaims to his men : — 'Yes , soldiers 1 we march as one man , and your Colonel swears to lead the way , to nnfurl the flag of Order on the barricade of anarchy , as before we have unfurled it , surrounded by the dead and dying , in a storm of balls and grape , at the breach of

      Constantine , each man burning to avenge his brother , should he fall by the lead of the parricides of our beloved country / Such is the salutation with which a French colonel announces his arrival to tbe Parisians . The barricade of anarchy , the breach of Con-Etantine , the demi-savages of the African desett , the workmen and the citizens of Paris , it is all the same to this French officer . In his impatience he sees beforehand * the dead and dying , the showers of ball and grape , ' in tbe streets of Paris . This is horrible ; but what is yet more horrible is , that a

      large portion of French society is dead to the terrible signs of social decadence and moral anarchy presented by an order of the day such as this . Bat the self-same journal brings us yet another Eign of the times in this same number of yesterday . It is the statistics of the gendarmerie in France . This body of Military police reckons no less than 23 , 154 men . Add to these the gendarmerie mobile , tne republican guard , and the tsergents des villes , and you will have a military police for France amounting to nearly 50 , 000 men .

      And even the largeness of this force does not prevent incessant affrays between the populace and the gendarmerie . On the contrary , these encounters were never so much the order of ihe day as now . And we find tbe very reason of this in tbe timid mood o ? tbe iourgeoisie , with Its representatives , and organs , who without , perhaps , intending Or even being conscious of what they do , excite soldiers aud gendarmes against the workmen , and these in turn against the military- If a party of highwaymen rob some stray traveller , you may be sure to read in the ' Debats' and Constitutionnel '

      Of the day following that a citizen has been waylaid and robbed by democrats or Socialists . Thus , is one half of society irritated against the other , and gendarmes and soldiery are taught to see in the workmen who favour democratic ideas nothing but Vagabonds , robbers , and assassins . The views of parties are growing a little clearer . It is manifest that the parliamentary majority have dropped for the present all notion of either repealing or modifying the law of May . Tne * Babats' and ' Assemblee Nationale' both contain decisive articles in favour of supporting it against all attacks , coming from whatever quarter . On . the Other hand , it is rumoured tbat the prefects have Peeked instructions to conduct the elections of the

      Chamber according to the . law of May , but that of the President according to the old lists of universal suffrage- I mention this report in consequence of the serious attention bestowed upon it by Girardin . The ' Moniteur ' is expected to publish , towards the middle of tbe month , the decree convoking the electors of the Seine to choose a representative to replace General Magnan . On tbe result of this election , which would thus nearly coincide with the reopening of ihe Assembly , will depend very much the tone of the President ' s message . If the democratic party persevere in their intention of offering resistance to the execution of the law of May , all Prance , it is said , will be placed under a state of eieze .

      The policy of the * Conslitutionnel' to proceed to the elections of the Assembly according to tbe law of May , and to the election of the President according to the old law of Universal Suffrage , is beginning to be combated by the ' Order' and other parliamentary papers in a toue which shows conviction that such is the course meditated at the Elysee . The Electoral Union wishes to defer the elections of the Seine . In any case the democratic party will abstain , the Prince de Joinville will not come forward , and the candidate of the Electoral Union must therefore walk over the course .

      The National' has opened a subscription at its Office for contributions towards the execution cf the medal proposed , by the ' Revolution , ' te commemorate the sympathy of the democracy with Kossutb at Marseilles . The « Moniteur de l'Armee' announces that the Minister at War has expressed , his disapprobation of * 1 « 8 lment al order oi Colonel de Gardarens , of the fith Regiment .

      period within which this great advantage would be continued ; notwithstanding the very ample use of sham agents who Jave subscribed in Frankfort , Amsterdam , and London ; notwithstanding the ackn owledgment of the domestic obligations' of the two Austrian provinces and Styria—a measure which added ten-million real subscriptions and other ten millions of state paper to the loan—Baron Kraus has at last forced himself to resort once more to his usual expedient of drawing upon the bank , and he has ordered the bank to subscribe the amount wanting to make up the eighty-five millions . No matter by what means , or however unreal , the new loan is at least to appear to have been subscribed . What the Finance minister will do when he bas got his eighty-rive millions must be a puzzle alike to himself as it is to the rest of the money world .

      The Contemplated Wab . with Turkey , and the 'Promised' Constitution . —Popular rumour exaggerates very much the increase now being made in the Austrian forces on the Turkish frontier . Instead of 40 , 000 men , I believe that only 10 , 000 are on tbe march . If the Porte return a compliant answer to the demands for compensation , the main ground for making war will vanish ; for , unless renewed disturbances arise iu HuQgar from the liberation of Kossuth and'his companions in confinement , the Austrian Emperor and his minister , Prince Schwarzenberg , have no valid reasons for desiring to punish the Porte for setting the illustrious exile at liberty . For the moment the question continues to wear a doubtful aspect . The imperial council would not come to any decision on the other question—the constitution—because that important document is not yet finished .

      The proprietor of the Friedens Zeitung' ( Peace Journal ) has had a compulsory interview with the court-martial of Vienna for printing a small notice of the Hungarian colony in the United States . His answer to the accusation was , that he had excerpted it from the official journal , the Reichs-Zeitung , Judge his astonishment , when the sapient mem berg of tbe august court nevertheless repreraand him most severely , adding , that what a large journal like the Reichs-Zeitung was allowed to print , could not be permitted in a small one .

      Count Potockt , a member of one of the most in . fluential noble families of Poland , a gentleman of vast wealth , and generally held to be semi-conservative in his political opinions , has been arrested and confined in the citadel of Lemberg . The grounds of this step are not known , but it is supposed tbat the order came from Paris , where Chevalier Weiss von Starkenfels , the Vienna director of police , is at present conferring with M . Carlier .

      HUNGARY . We learn from Vienna that there appears to be some design on the part of the government to re tarn to the old federative system in regard to Hun gary , the centralising one which they hare been introducing having proved a complete failure . It is said to be probable that a Diet will be established , of coarse with very restricted privileges . The governor-general , in tbe person of Archduke Albrecht , assisted by a commissioner possessing some experience of civil government will be the direct medium between the monarch and his

      territories ; the different ministers will subside into di rectors of departments ; and the imperial council , which is to be established , will be equally the crea > tures of the emperor's will ; his wishes will be their law . One construction that must inevitably be ptit upon this change , no matter how gradually it may be introduced , is that the government has been most glaringly defeated , and is compelUd to acknowledge in the most effective manner the righteousness of the cause for which the Hungarian people took up arms .

      ITALY . Respecting the magnificent displays of loyalty which are described daily in the'Vienna Gazette ' as having been displayed in Milan , Brescia , Venice , &c , our letters give a very different account . In Brescia the inhabitants were ordered io illuminate their houses , on pain of severe punishment ; and in order to deprive them of every excuse the government sent a supply of candles to every house . The paid claqueurs certainly shouted to their utmost when the emperor appeared in public , but their numbers were so small , and their isolation so com . plete . that the cry of Long live the Emperor' was only beard at intervals from single individuals . The

      military did their best to prevent the true state of the case from being too apparent . In Milan the same circumstances occurred ; and in Venice a letter which we have read asserts that a pin might have been heard drop in the streets , so death-like was tbe silence during the visit of the emperor . It has been much remarked upon that the emperor did not pass a single night at Milan , which city he quitted on both occasions before nightfall . Tbe 1 Croce di Savoia * contains a letter from Brescia , describing in matter-of-fact terras , the want of affection and loyalty displayed there . It was confiscated by the police , who actually visited every cafe in which Italian journals are kept in order to obtain p ossession of it . Perhaps this confiscation wag partly caused by an allusion to tbe Archduchess Sophia in another article , in which that princess is

      termed the vainest and most ambitioHs woman that has appeared in the world since Eve . The Emperor bas suddenly quitted Italy , for reasons which can only be guessed at . The newspapers of Turin make mention of the Emperor ' s sudden departure frosn the camp of Somma as of a flight . The prescribed route of return to Vienna was abandoned for the road by Hetzendorf . The Emperor left the Somma at six o'clock on the morning of the 30 th ult-, aud leaving behind all the carriages of his suit arrived in four hours at Ces / mia de' Pecchi , a distance of forty-five miles . This precipitate departure by a changed route is ascribed to alarm and ducouragernentat his blank and cold reception by the Italians . The camp of the Somma was ordered , to be broken up , the cause assigned for this new arrangement being the unfavourable weather .

      GERMANY . The German governments are extremely alarmed at the rapid progress of what they call the Communist Socialist Associations ' among the workmen of Germany , aud have determined to resort to extreme measures against them . For this purpose they have resolved to republish the ancient resolutions of the Diet against Socialist associations . Another leading and apparently semi-official article , published in the ' Frankfort Journal ' of the 5 th inst ., makes known the important fact that the Austrian cabinet has determined no longer to press at this time the desired incorporation of its non-German provinces into the confederation .

      A telegraphic despatch from Frankfort , published by the official Berlin Anzeiger , ' states that the diet has taken a unanimous decision in favour of dissevering from the Germanic confederation the Prussian provinces incorporated in 1848 .

      SPAIN . It is said that the Cortes will be convoked on the 1 st of November . General Narvaez is expected in Madrid as soon as he receives the news of the Cortes being opened . His relentless enemy , Gen . Pavia , bas published a memoir of the civil war in Catalonia , in which very heavy charges are brought against Narvaez . The persecution of the opposition papers still continues . Last week three editions of the Epoca' were seized , the last of which merely contained the news from Cuba .

      AUSTRALIA . THE NEW HOLLAND GOLD DIGGINGS . By the arrival of the Thomas Arhuthnot we are put in possession of Sydney papers as late as the 9 th of June ; and though this does not appear to be later than previous advices , the accounts are much fuller , and a better picture is afforded of the actual position of the gold diggings than has yet been presented to tbe English reader , the more especially as great attention was being paid to the obtaining of accurate intelligence , for which purpose parties had been specially commissioned to proceed to the diggings by the journals and private individuals . On Sunday evening , the 1 st of June ,

      Mr . Hardy , the government commissioner , arrived at the Summerhill Creek , Bathurst , whilst & party of mounted police encamped , at Swallow Creek , and followed to the diggings on Monday . Mr . Hardy , with much good judgment , did not press the diggers nho were without means for tbe immediate payment Of Ihe JkenSe fee , but gave them a week for the purpose and offered to take the amount in gold dust . The variety of costumes at the diggings is stated to immediately attract the attention of the visitor . The poorer classes , generally

      speaking , work in their usual 2 pparel ; otherB add lo it a blue serge shirt and a California hat . Those who are in better circumstances will be found with strong moleskin trowsers , blue serge shirt , warm woollen comforter , California hat , belt , and a pair of strong leather leggings ; others again , instead of leggings , will be found with waterproof boots , reaching from six to nine inches above the knee . Those who desire to be more conspicuous than others will be seen with scarlet serge shirts . One party from Sydney was dwsied in a very singular fashion , his
