News fron the Queensland diggings—which appears to be of a favorable character—has caused a considerable exodus from the Thames gold-fields, which is thus bewailed by the New Zealand Herald : —"The Hero has gone, and has taken away some of the bone and sinew of the province. The infatuation ot a golddigger is almost incomprehensible, and yet we believe that in their emigration to Queensland they are all exchanging half-a-crown for two shillings." The Birkenhead and Hoy lake Eailway was, on July 4, seized by the sheriff's officers, acting under the instructions of Mr Vyner, the owner of the land traversed by the railroad.
