Across the Straits you have the Olympian range washed by the sea ; towards the interior picturesque views of wooded hills, opposite the fine woodland scenery of ihe country intervening between it and Esquimalt, the Victoria Arm, glimpses of which, as scen through the foliage, look like a series of inland lakes; while in front, just at one’s feet, is the bay itself and its tributaries, or arms rather —James’s Bay, &c. always beautiful ; and behind, towards the south-east end of the island, is a view of great beauty and grandeur—a cluster of

The population will soon increase from Canada, | Wheace an immigration of many thousands is already spoken of, jfrom Australia, South America, the Atlantic States, and, no | doubt, from Europe also. ‘I'he resources of the island are plenty lof tiaber, towards the northera portion producing spars of uneguatled quality, which are becoming of great value in England, and will soon be demanded in France, now that the foresis of Norway and of Maine are becomimg exhausted ; limestone inabundance, which burns into good hime for building and for egricultural purposes; coal in plenty, now worked at Nanamuno, on the northern side of the island, by the Hudson’s Bay Company ; the quality is quite good, judging from the specyinen | saw burning ; it answers wel) for steam purposes, and would have found a ready sale in San Francisco, were ut not subject to a heavy duty (of 30 per ceat. | think) vader the Amencan tariff; iron, copper, gold, and potier’s clay. I have no Ggoubt that a good field will be discovered on the island as it gets Opened up to enterprising explorers. A friend of |} mine brought down some saad from the sea beach near Victoria, and assayed " the other day. It produced gold tn minate quantity, and | bave heard of gold washings on the island. The copper is undeveloped. The potter’s clay has been tested in ingland, and found to be very good. The character of the suil is favourable to agrculture. It is composed of a black vegetable mould of a foot tu two feet in depth overlaying a hard yellow clay. The surface earth is very flae, pulverized, and sandy, quite black, and, no doubt, of govd quality ; when sharpened with sleep feeding it produces heavy crops, The failen trees, which are very nuinerous, show that the substratum of clay is too hird to produce wny hing. The roots of the pine uever penetrate it. in some places the spontaneous vevetation testifies to the richness of the soili—such as wiid peas or vetches, and wild clover, which | have seen reach up to my norse’s belly—-and a most luxuriant growth of underwood, brambles, fern, &e. So far as | wandered—about 10 miles round Victoria—ihe landscape ts dotted with extensive Croppings of rock, which interfere wita the labeurs of the husbandman Few corn fields are without a jot of boulders or a ridve or two of rock rising upabove the surface of the ground, Consequently the cultivated fields are eimall, and were sueered at by my Californian neighbours, who are accustomed tu vast Open prairies under crop.

GAMBLING IN LAND~——FOOD AT FAMINE PRICES.

The life is very primitive, tents being the habitations of the majority. The life (aod soul) of the place 13 imparted to it by the Californians, who have flocked to tt with the view of! bettering their broken fortunes ‘They have run up the price of land to an absurd figure. £20 a front foot | was asked for a lot ina side street—that isto say, fora clay bank, [00 feet by 70 feet, 10.000 dols. I told the owner that “| wished he might get it;*’ but after all J paid pretty high for a purchase which |} made, considering the original price to the first holder. 1 bought three lots, each 60 feet by 120 feet, on the Bay, for 1,000 dols. each, which cost a litile time ago 100 dols, 1 was offered a profiton my bargain two days afier | had made the purchase ; but now [ understand there is a revulsion, and my “water lots,’ as they are called im the slang of the * real estate * business, would not fetch what I gave for them. So much for gambling in land. Everything has nsen to famine prices. Fiour is 30 dols. a barrel. In San Francisco it is worth 12 dols. Lumber. 100 doly. per 1,000 f ct ; im San Franciseo less than one-fourth that price. A man with a horse and cart wi)! earn £10 a-day. Atleast, | keow of one who did earn 40 dols., or £8 in a-day, and another wan told me that if he hadn’s broken his cart on a certain day last week he would tave made £10. All this will soon pass away.

NASTY LIVING AMONG THE DIGGERS—LUXURY OF A BED TO ON&’sSELF—THE LADY'S TENT AND IT: PECULIARITIES, The style of living is rather umque. IL slept on a trestles

rolled up in rough blankets, in a small room, where two others

also slept—a place vou would not think too good for your dug. | washed my face al fresco—that is, in an open meadow —and brushed my boots iu a tiny room, which served tor kuchen, laundry, refectory, and sitting-room for my landiady and her husband. My visitors said | was housed luxuriously by com- parison with their accommodations. Americans sleep three and four, or more, ina bed. To have a bed to one’s self was thought quite arrstucratic, “* exclusive ’’ they calied it. But the feeding

is the most disgusting part of the campaign. I went into a

place to have ceffve one morning early, for [| rose betes, in

to work on the river. ‘The mass of them lie idle on ite banks, waiting for the water to fall. Those who have money to pay

~~ for provisions can have enovgh on the spot, for which they have

|to thank the humane and liberal policy of the Hudson’s Bay Company, Those who hve so money muat starve, The alternative is as clear as the sun at noon-day, They can neither buy food nor Jeave the place. They cannot spread themselves over the country fur the following reasons :—The banks of the river, high up where the miners are congregated, are steep and lofty perpendicular walls of rock which cannot be sealed. The other portions of its banks are covered with iunpenetrable fureste without a track or a@ trail, which they dare not penetrate for fear of the Indians. ‘There is a trail above Fort tiope, known to the Hrdson’s Bay Company’s people, which leads up to Phompson’s River and adjacent country. und which is supposed to be very rich in gold, but there are‘no means of transport availableas yet. Some miners have gone up, and their storv is this:—A man hos to carry his provisions in his blankets, on his back, up a laborious ascent im hot weather. He cannot carry over SO0ib in weight besides his traps, and tools, and firearms. He takes several days tu perform the journey. At ns termination one-third part or more of bis stock of provisions has been used on the tranfp. He digs and digs successfully but, as he is ina wilderness where his supplies cannot be

shall have eaten it all he dies of buager. There is no relief for him. So he comes back with some, but not much, gold. Several are said to have perished of hunger in this upper region but | could only trace this horrid fate to two men. Untoriunately for themselves, the California miners would pet listen to advice to defer their departure tll the usual season of low water in the river, but rushed up uoreflectingly, and reached the place long before they could work, ‘Fue resalt is mistortuae and disaster

RICHNESS OF THE GOLD FIELDS,

I may add that I have the distinct authority of Governor Douglas, and of one of the chief factors who has long resided In the iierior, for stating publicly that for several years back they have had evidence of the existence of gold being found in many places extending over hundreds of miles of the couniry to which the notice of the wurid is pow attracted, and that beh

Torat Loss ov Two Vessets.—Thbe English ship Rodney, of Loudon, and the Dutch bark Oliver Van Noord, went on shore on Keun’s Reef, lat. 219 S., long. 155 48 E., at 4 30 on the morning of the 7th of June. The British ships Sea Park, and Northumbrian left Melbourne together ou the 22d of May, intending to keep company through Torres Siruits, all bound to India. On the 6th inst. we were joined by the Dutch bark, which expressed a wish to keep company with us through this dangerous passage. At 4 30 in the morning, [ wus awoke by the ship being brought to the wind. { jumped on deck and saw, what I supposed was, the Rodney firing blue liguts and rovkets as fast as possible, Toe Mutchman passed under our stern as we rounded tu, continuing the same course: I saw a faint line of broken water, not a mile off, on our Jee beam. When day broke we discovered two vessels on the reef—the Dutchman on her beam ends, with her decks to the sea, which was making a viean breach over; her position was indeed a most awful one; the other, about a quarter of a mile to the eastwtrd of the Durchuian, proved to be the Rodney, which was in an up- right position; but the ruliers, which were increasing every woment, and broke upon her weather beam, seading the sea uigh over ber lower yards, lifting her for the time shail Caus- wg ber to lurch again to seaward, showed every instant to be most precious, as there was uo kuowing how long she wight bold tozether. The Northumbrian was hove to, about two miles to the 5S. E. of them, rendering every assistance in her power, ‘The Sea Park was put about to go down to them, but the current was so strong that she could uot weather the reef, which compelied us to make a fack uff befure we could get near to them. Our quarter boats were all ready for lowering, being eficieutly equipped with grapnels, life buoys, small lines, &c., the crews sitting in thew all ready to lower themselves down. About S a. im. they pulled off, but had not proceeded more than half way when they were met by Capt. Bissett, in one of his own boats, pulling towards us. The utmost anxiety was now depicted ou every countenance ; but, as they neared us, he stood up, waved his hand, and said, All saved!” No one who has not experienced it can know the relief conveyed by those two words, Having saved their owa lives, the Kodney’s men went to render auy assistance they could to the other wreck. The Northuwbriau’s large boat succeeded in getting vlose under the Duichman’s quarter, where all the crew had taken refuge, having lost ail their boats in endeavouring to launch them, the others lying off, ready iu case of an accident, during which the Liodney’s life- boat, in charge of Mr. Kichmond, chief officer, was thrown right upon the reef by a tremendous roller, capsizing all the crew out of her, bruising some of them very wuch, and fill- ing her with water. They, however, succeeded in launching hee to leeward of the Dutchman, and with great d flivuly got alongside and relieved the Nurthumbrian’s boat, which was overciowded, having all the Dutch crew on board of her. The Northumbrian took the Duteh crew on board, the Sea Park taking the Rodney’s. At noon, the Rodney fell over on ber beam ends, similar tu the Dutchman, the maininast, mizeumast, and foretopmast going over the side, Tue course steered should have takes us 15 wiles to the eastward of the reef, without allowing for any current which bad set us to the eastward 20 imiics per aay for the two previous day- ;
