Statistics of the Gold Ficlds of Victoria, Aus- tralia, for the Year 1853. EDWARD RHALL’S CIRCULAR. [From the Melbourne Argus, Jan, 27.) Having now arrived at the close of the second year of our gold-producing era, it may be interesting to notice some of the more prominent features that have appeared during that period, in the course of which I hope to be able to show that,’ notwithstanding the very large pro- duce of 1852, there appears no cause for desponding over that of 1853. 1. ‘The most important feature that commands notice, is the produce of the gold fields, which as summed up in table V., gives as close an approximation as careful in- vestigation will admit. The product, as there given, shows satisfactorily, as compared with 1852, that gold still con- tinues to be found in quantity in the colony of Victoria. During the early part of the year 1852, the limited num. ber of diggers then at work procured gold by the pound weight; whereas now, from the increased number, the produce is apresd over'a larger ooamurity, aad eoase- quently ounces are generally now the extent of individu- allabor. Formerly when arich vien was struck by a working party, they secured the surrounding claims, and protected themselves; whereas now, no sooner is a rich spot discovered, than claims are secured around it ip every direction by parties too lazy to prospect for them- selves, If success attends the pincers, the encroachors commence digging; but if the reverse is the case, they at once abandon their claim and move on to another locali- ty. This mode of acting is termed “shepherding” by the working digger. 2. The security with which the mineral wealth « colony is transmitted from the gold fields to Moib which will leave but eleven’ miles of a good mule road to Panama. All the main points of difference between the Panama Railroad Company and the Provincial govern- ment have been settled, except a few, which are to be re- ferred to higher powers. There was a great rush of passengers from Australia to Peru, in consequence of reports circulated in Austra- lis of the discovery of immense lumps of gold on the Hanks of the Amazon. The Safety of Licut. Strain’s Party. OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. U. 8. Simp Crane, Asvinwatt, April 14, 1854) We arrived here this morning from Carthagena, in thir- ty hours. At 44; o’clock P. M. this day Lieut. Charles M. Fauntleroy arrived from Panama with the joyful intelli- gence of the safety of Lieut. Strain and fifteen of his party, after enduring innumerable hardships and suffer- ings. Lieut. Strain and one or two officers of his com- mand were to return on the 16th, from Panama, and bring the remainder to this place, from whence they will proceed to the United States in the steamer. Lieut. Fauntleroy pursued his investigations alone in fhe Chepo country, and is now suffering from severe ill- ness and fatigue. Four tf the seamen belonging to this ship, and the two Spanish commissioners, are reported by Lieut. Strain as having died in consequence of severe hardships which they endured. Enclosed I send you a full list of the original men of Strain’s party. Those who have deceased I have marked as “dead.” Do. do. . + do. First Assistant Engineer—J. M. Maury. + do.

The Amoezon Gold MinesxThe Rush from Austrailia. From, the Lima News, March 25 | 2 The English ship Launceston, Captain Betts, arrived im the port of Callao on the iSth instant, in the re- markably short space of thirty days—as reported in the Custom House—from Launceston Heads. ‘The Launceston brovght ove hundred and eighty-three ee es whom are bound for the mines on the Amazon, ‘hey report that great excitement exists in Australia, regarding these mines. ‘The Launceston’s elogant place of andGeclong has only been onee interrupted by a ba: of.six robbers, who attacked the Melbourne Escort Com pany’s branch escort from M’lvor to Kyneton, and, unfortunately, were successful. The quantity stolen was about 2,000 ounces, of which about 9s. in the pound has been returned to the sufferers by government, out of the spoil recovered by the police from the robbers. Three out of the six robbers have suifered the extreme nalty of the law, ono committed suicide, one turned Graen 's evidence, and one escaped; thus showing that however daring the outrage may be, the law, when vigor- ously enforced, is certain to overtake the guilty. Another case it may be mentioned, although not occurring within the year, was the piraticol attack on the Nelson in Holsén’s Bay, when about 8,000 oumces were stolen from the ship, none of which was ever recovered. In noticing these two-daring and desperate acts, it cannot but be a matter of gratification to know that in the transporting ‘of such an amount of wealth, ro smaila loss should have gecurred, considering the mixture with our free popula. tion of such a number of convicts from Van Dieman’s Land. The gross produce of 1852 and 1853 may be stated in round numbers at £25,000,000 sterling, the actual loss at £45,000. To the industrious and persevering indi- vidual, the remuneration at the gold ficlds is ample; thereby placing him beyond temptation, At the trials for both robberies it was proved that the individuals had been convicts, thus strongly exemplifying the evils we labor under from our proximity to a convict colony. 3. The produce of the goll ells has been maiatained throughout this year, with a regularity as to quantity, which contrasts strongly with tHat of last year. During the first six months of 1852, the average quantity was 17,000, while the last six months was 68,000. In 1853 it was 36,000 against 44,000. While » produce of such value continues to be raised at 2 cost of little more than that of sustenance to the digger, (for the license fee is now so light a tax that it ia hardly worth naming,) the attraction to the gold fields for all new comers will con- tinue, notwithstanding the high rate paid for labor, both in town and country. That great numbers have been unsuccessful in their first attempts at gold digging can- not be denied; and it is perhaps well for the community that all have not been successful. This class forms the great body of well paid laborors in towns, together with not afew of the earliest diggers who have returned with a tolerab ecompetency, but who are at the same time not above following their usual ayocations, reserving for their old age the produce of their success at the gold fields. Asa strongly corroborative fact illustrative of this view of the condition of many of our working popn- lation, I refer to the number of depositors in the banks previous to and since the discovery of the gold fiells, as given in table IX.

Prices of Gold—Advance made by the Banks, and Rate of Discount Charged on that Advance—F'reight to Great ritain, and Rate of Insurance. In this table is given (1) the price paid to diggers, which is the same as quoted in the Melbourne daily pa: pers. It may be proper to remark, for the information of correspondents at home, that, to these quoted prices, the broker’s commission for purchasing has to be added, which will explain at once to them the cause of the dif- ference betwixt the invoiced and the published price. In the second column the amount advanced by the banks on hypothecated gold is given, which shows an increase in the rate during the year. As the greater portion of the gold now shipped on merchants’ account is for remit- tance, very few accept of the accommodation, except to a trifling amount, for the sake of effecting’ insurance through the banks’ open policies in London. In column three, the rate of discount bs d agit as that charged for advances through the year, which have fallen from ten per cent to par, and the consequence has been that the digger has benefitted in a corresponding degree, by the advance in the price of gold. The freight ‘has re. mained at 4%;d. per ounce, but 8d. in some cases has been agreed upon, where the parties were shipping toa Jarge extent. The insurance has risen from 13 to 249 percent, which had for a time, a depressing eifect, to the extent of 3¢ per cent.

Wasmaton, April 23, 1854. The rumor thickens here that Col. Forney is to be hauled up during the ensuing week, by Old Bullion or John Wheeler, or both, upon various charges and speci- fications, forimpeachment. Great excitement is said to prevail in the kitchen cabinet, and that a confidential agent has been gent to soften down Col. Benton. As for John Wheeler, he is intractable, and it is useless to at- tempt to do anything with him in the way of conciliation. He says there is no use in trying. The hards are not to be humbugged by the Nebraska dodge. It is also rumored here that we may expect the early return of Soulé from Spain, brimfull of war. It is said further, that with this expectation the Cuban Junta of | New York and New Orleans are getting ready for an early descent upon the island, and that George Law’s muskets are intended for their use. It is believed now, that the President will hold over the Lunatic Asylum Land bill in his breeches pocket, if he does not screw up the pluck to send in a veto. ‘The Cabi- net, meantime, are about as harmonious as Barnum’s happy family. It isa good thing that their salaries were raised to eight thousand dollars. They are held together by the cohesive power of the cight thousand. They squabble and quarrel, but they hold on. It is thought that the House Nebraska bill may be squeezed through this time, under the operation of the previous question. Doubtful. THE NEBRASKA BILL—GOVERNMENT PRINTING. An effort will be made to-morrow to introduce into the House another Nebraska bill. When the State: ar called for resolutions, the frionds of the movement will present the bill as a now measure; but it will be the old acquaintance with merely a new face, and essentially the sameas the proposition of Mr. Douglas. It is thought that the number of members absent will render the scheme successful. At least, the most strenuous exer- tions will be made to render it so, and the opponents of the Nebraska bill are apprehensive as to the result. Mr. Renton has prepared a tong and stinging speech in opposition, and will try to get the floor early. The specch will make about seven columns of the Globe. The arguments in the mandamus case in the Circuit Court, between Beverly Tucker and the Superintendent of Printing, were closed yesterday. Decision reserved. ‘The question argued was as to whether the two parts of the Commissioner’s annual report formed one whole, or whether each part formed a separate document.

After the events of the 19th April, the Massachusetts Legislature called upon thé other colonies for aid. ‘The Connecticut Assembly foted to raise six regiments of a thousand men each. General Wooster was to haye one of these regiments. They were raised, but did not go into active ser- vice until the 22d of May of the same year, when the New York Provincial Ceugress, fearing British invasion, myited General Wooster, with is regiment, to assist im defending the city. Wooster marched to New York, and eneamped at Harlem, whence he sent troops to Long I@end to guard against British cruisers and fo parties. On the 24d June, 1775, Wooster received his commission of Brigadier-General from the Continental Congress. Wooster had led a regiment in the French war, and was not well pleased at the commissioning of Putnam before him, who was his inferior in rank. In July, 1774, Wooster was ordered to Albany. On the 6th September he marched from Albany to join Generai Montgomery before St. John’s. The garrison surren- dered, and Wooster was left in command at Montreal. The Canadian invasion not proving successful, earty in 1776 Wooster was superseded in his command, He demanded a court of inquiry, and, after a favorable re- port, he resigned. He remained in retirement till the 284 of April, 1777, when a marauding expedition, headed by ‘Tryon, attacked the town of Danbury, burned the magusines, and committed other acts of violence. Gen. Wooster raised militia corps to intercept the British troops, and fell mortally wounded in the second of the three attacks made upon Tryon’s colamn. Supreme Court—Circult. Before Hon. Judge Mitehell.

Itappears that Frisbee lived nearly soven yéars after the insurance was effected on his life and about one month after his death the defendant applied to the eom- pany, and exhibiting the necessary proof of Frisboe’s deaiti, received the money. Six months after the mone: had Veen paid, this suit was instituted to recover the amount, on the alleged ground that Frisbee was diseased at the time of the application for and the iss of the policy. It was also contended by Mr. Josep Blunt, counsel for the company, that the defendant had no interest in the policy. Messrs. Charles O’Conor and Fullerton app for the defendant, and produced the written declaration, signed by the defendant, upon ich the policy was based, and on which the insarer was represented as having chronic bronehitis; counsel also showed that the company, after a critical medical have known, too, many among your number who have lorned the stage not merely by their talents, which the good and evil may alike possess, but their virtues.

First, had Frisbee a spitting of blood withim the meaning of the policy, or any other disease that would be likely to shorten lifer If he had either of these diseases the plaintiffs cannot recover on that ground; or, if he bad either or both of these diseases, and the defen- dant bad no knowledge of it, then the plaintiffs cannot ‘There must have been one or-other of these ting f blood, the definition I give of it is—any spitting’of blood which would tend to shorten. life, or be as dangerous to life as any of the diseases men- tioned in the policy, being rupture, fits, dropsy, spitting of blood; but it must have existed the policy was eifecte’, or ontecolent to it. other question of as to the rig) to recover because the defendant had no interest ia the life of the person insured.
