Probably not over seven or eight more will go this week, It is expected that the Councll witi muke good the §250,000 of miscellaneous recclnts appropriated by Meeusing strect-car drivers, money-brok. ers, and others, If thia be not done, twenty-five addittonal policemen will have toquit. llnving made all the reductions re- auired to keep within the 85 per cent, Fire-Mar- shal Denner fecls comparatively cany. e, howoever, is anxtous that nis men nha)f not be obliged to submlt to o discount on thelr ware rants, In this conuectlun, it can be stated that the schemo to ralse a pool to cash tho warrants of the firemon for thelr face is, meeting with the ni:pronl of overvono towhom It has been mentloned, and merchants have already offered to chip In to the extent of 31,000 and §2,000, in. tending to usc the warrants [n payment of taxes.

Gold Fetdn Mereury, Transcaal, [ioc. 3, 1877, ‘The most populous part of the Flelds at pres- ent is Pligrlin's Rest, The creck belng worked here is between theeo and four miles in length, and the number of diggers working it from 400 to 500, if not @ little more. The quantity of qold found In it is coormous. Old miners of larzo oxperlencs {n the gold district of the Australlan colonies say it is, for ita size, onc of the richest crecks they bave ever knowno At first the lowor part of the creck was most worked, but gradualiy the miners moved higher up, and as they did so tho ficlds increased and the nuggets uncarthed became’ larger. At the upper bend of the ereek very iarge finds were at one titne made, some diggers turning out dally Lueir thirty and forty ounces. Beyond this upper bend heavy gold was also found, and many clabma there are still payig well. In the hitls beyond the head of the creek, the proprietary coinpany of these Ficlds have protection for what [s bolleved to be a rich quartz reef, He- cently, miners named Muleahy, Fretze, Cune ningham, and others, have found wonderfully rich alluvial deooslts on tha ground around tho recf. When the finds first hecame known the eround was rushed, and great excitement pre- valled.
