An American paper says that Lord Ruperts wood, of Victoria, is reported to be richer than W.H. Vanderbilt. He is worth more than .£40,000,000, and his wealth is rapidly increasing. He inherited a great estate from his father including millions of cattle and sheep m Australia. His residence m Melbourne is said to be the most magnificent m the world; it cost .£800,000." " Lord Rupertswood w is Sir William John Clarice, of Rupertswood, the first resident baronet, whose father started as a cattle dealer m Tasmania, then bought largely m Victoria, and made great sums by advances on station property to needy squatters ; but we fear our American contemporary is exaggerating the amount of his riches.
