A , M”, M thermfih a serious deficiency of the most Yillilldfyvlocltl convcn o_es. "be general rule, liming but few exceptiops,_ is, that male immigrants: proceed to the diggings at once. This outlet has averted the shoe that would be occasioned by the din roportiouste

ressure a n the ordinary en_ip oyinents, and kept the la r market comparatively bare. The vast majority of those at t e goldlle ds_ have set- tled there for the at no appreciable pro- portion of them fol in back upon ordinary oc- cu tioris. Hence, it n evident that the gold- fie d is of indefinite extent, and that the labour

is generally i-auuni-rntlve. eficicncy in the lfibor market is only ‘partially filed up by the w immigrants who c not to the dig-

ings,'and the,still fewer who orsake them. The want of social conveniences must have entailed much sufiering upon individuals; but, lookibg at all the circumstances of the case, there is cause for thnnkfulncss that the evils have not been infinitely more serious and gene- ral.

A SCIBNTIPC GOLD DIGGI-III. Amongst the ssengers by the Falcon, which arrived in the ersey on Tuesday, is Mr. John Calvert, a geologist, who has been eleven years in the Australian colonies. Durin that time he has made a gcolo ical survc of all the mi- neral districts in Ade aide, Van icman’s hind, Sydney, and New Zealand. and he has brou ht back with him a map of the western ld fie ds which alone is 30 feet long. lle liaso so a lar number of drawings some of them valuable in a scientific int of view and others lcasin and instructive. as giving a sketch of ife uni manners at the gold diggings. .\Ir. Calvert has iiiisolf been engaged tor ei ht years in tra- cing the ouriferous veins and in rocuring gold. A short time ago he sent honiea lock of quartz weighing a ton and a half, and he has brought with him in the Falcon 730 no ts of the pre- cious metal. One of the pieces wci lie 23 lbs of pure gold. The aiuount of gol brought houie by Mr. Calvert is about 330 pounds weight gross. between 70 and 80 pounds bein dross or quarts, more or less mixed with Id. The largest quantity he ever obtained in one day was 76 pounds weight which he broke oil‘ with his geological hammer in dpieces varying rom holfan ounce to two poun s weight. He had been led to the spot by auriferous indica- tions, increasing as he came nearer, for a dis- tance of nearly forty miles. The quarts vein run north and south, and was from about 9 to 15 feet in breadth half a mile from where be robbed it of its precious treasure. It stands out in large blocks of from 15 to 21» feet in height, looking in the distance like white houses. This place in distant from Sydney about 215 miles, and a loii way from any at presen worked gold field. During the latter part of his residence in .'\ll.'4Il'IlllII Mr. Calvert had a camp, and three men as assistants, and properly equipped he run his scientific survey. Amongst his discoveries he found diamonds, ru'iies, and man valuable minerals, in which the Australian colonies abound. Mr. Calvert proceeded on Thursday night direct to London, where he intends to get his drawings and maps transferred to canvas, for the purpose of exhi- biting thcm as a panorama of the gold fields, illustrative of a series of lectures. Mr. Calvert gives a melancholy account of the state of afliirs at Melbourne. He says that during last winter thousands of persons were encnmped on the out skirts of that place lite- rally in s state,of starvation, and subject to great suflbring from the inclemency of the west er. some working-mcii were earning at the rate of 1.500 a-year, and yet, from the high price of provisions and other nccossarics, they were barel able to support theinsclves and The publicans, he says, are most exiravs nt in their demands, and care not for accom ating persons unless they have been at the diggings, and have large sums of money ol which they can be plundered. Three or tour hundered passengers have been known to land at the Qusms wharf at Melbourne, and, there being no o acco tion for them, they have been wlnpallcd to remain on the wharf for the night, exposed to heavy rains: and under such circumstances some of the females have given birth to infants. Should the emigrant be able to bear up against the sccumulaiing in- conveniences and annoyances to which he is ltlluected, he has before liiui sovcnty miles ofa will-Illejourney, along almost iiiipassablo roads, la-l'prc he reaches the gold-field, where he finds society In a dreadful state. and flour from L20 to J.‘-Illa mek.

Mr. Calvert states t oucs en. tered upon the pursuit of gold, the excitement becomes intense.

benefit, singly as well as collectively to the

oloiiies—Cannda. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and this lsland,—if they were to act in coiicest on such questions as are of importance to their general interests. Their action on the question of Reci rocity with the United States, would be felt to fie of greater wci lit with our Republican neighbours, if the Ilea s of the " ol each colony cou agree on one united plan to meet the restrictions of the United States Go- vernment Ve must either have a Market for our agricultural productions without restric- tions, in which we can compete with some profit, or we must establish a home manufac- ture to consume our surplus produce, and if Prince Edward Island can produce, and Nova Scotia and New Brunswick can establish manu- factures. we may do very well without the mulliplit-it of articles denominated Yankee notions. e apgend some very sensible remarks from the New runswicker, a paper generally well sted up on the advocacy of measures of rea progress.

It is now generally conceded that there is lit- tle expectation of obtaining anything like an eqiiivulont from the United States for o surren- der ofour fishing grounds. The experience of the last few years, since reciprocity in certain articles has been agitated in the British North American Colonies. proves that our Republican neighbourshre not disposed to listen to any rea- sonable terms for the free interchange ofcom- moditics, the growth and production of the dif- ferent countries: and the recent fate of the Bropositon introduced into the Senate by Mr.

avis is convincing proof of the antagonism on the rt of the American Congress to deal more li rally towards us. The South was ar- royed against it, and the North, East, and West opposed it on the ground that it would interfere with State rights, as every State is supposed to regulate its own nfiiirs: not that the proposi- tion was worthy of C it received the sanction of Congress, for the American fishing grounds are worthless to us 1 but it is another uuiistnkablc sign that our neighbours want to obtain everything without an equivalent. llovin so for succeeded in overreaebing England in the settlement of eve- ry question nfllicting Colonial interests, they feel cinboldoned with their success, and would even go so for as to claim the right to fish in our waters unmolested. Fortunately for the security of the British Empire, the Government of the present day is more vvntcliful of Colonial interests, and more desirous that the Colonies should be consulted on matters relating immo- diatcly to themselves. But. it is not enough that we should merely retain undisputed s- scssion of our fishing grounds. We shoul do more, and do it at once. The Legislatures of

node. New-Brunswick, Nova scotio, on

Prince Edward Island are now in session. They should therefore adopt ii general scheme for carrying out the wishes of the great bod of the Colonials. duo notice of which should tran- simittsd to England, in order that the present Imperial law, which revents the levying of discriminating duties in the Colonies, may be annulled. lfthe Imperial Government should refuse to take any action. then thev could not complain if increased duties should be placed upon British productions.

T ese Colonies are rich in mines and mine- rals; the productions of the lands and of the waters which surround their coasts, are yenrl increasing in quantity and value; and now is the time, ere they are encumbered with debt, or have out interests to contend against, to ninke such a start in the right direction as will place them to is great extent independent of foreign countries. The Government of Canada is dis- gusted with thc evusions of American states- men, and we doubt not will be fully prepared to take a bold and determined stand at the pre- ssntjuncture. A few cars of successful legis- lation in this way, won «I cncouragongricullure, introduce iminuliictures. and, together with the construction of Railways in the Colonies, would rapidly develope their resources, increase their population. and unite them together bv the strongert ties. They are posessed of terri- tory large enough to found one of the greatest empires the world has ever seen: population only is wanted to give them that degree of im- portance which they must shortly attain, and now is the time to hke a patriotic stand. Everything seems favorable for such a move- ment, and it only requires decision and firmness on the part of the Colonial rulers to e t great and beneficial change on all our material interests.
