CHARLESTON.

(From the Herald.) Some good parcels of gold were brought in during the past two daya. Amongst the principal were those from Hunter's claim, the Enterprise, and Nile. The aggregate quantity from these three claims amounted to close on ISOOozs., wliich returns are for the month's crushing. Ryan and party's claim, which was sold by order of the Resident Magistrate on Tuesday last, realised the sum of L 240. Messrs Dwan, Hennelly, and Co., wore the auctioneers, who knocked the property down to Messrs Kennedy Bros. Messrs D. Isaacs and Co. disposed of by public auction one-sixth share in Messrs Mace and Greenwood's claim, Four-mile, on Thursday last, for the sum of L 240. The share was knocked down to Mr S. Highway. We are informed Mr Crewdson subsequently became the purchaser at the same figure. There is a probability shortly of Charleston being able to boast of auriferous quartz reefs. Some two years ago j Yankee Charlie and others who were prospecting up the skirts of the Nile River, brought down some specimens, which at that time very little notice was I taken of. Some of the same was examined on Tuesday last, and was found to contain particles of gold, not on the surface only, but throughout the piece that was crushed. For the prescut we forbear causing any excitement, but await the return of Murphy and party, who have proceeded to tbe locality. We may, however, mention that the specimens were obtained some fifteen mile 3 uj) the Nile River close to the foot of the range at the back of the township.
