OUR GOLD NEWS IN ENGLAND. [From the "Sydney Morning Herald, " Sept. 12.]

There can be no doubt th<tt the intelligence of our gold discovery will airive it\ England, at Litest, this day September 12th; and it is mote than probable that letters would leach there rs early as August 20th. We are led to these conclusions from the following circumstances ; The Oriental, Captain Carr, chartered by Messrs. Donaldson and Co. to proceed to the Eastern seas, left Sydney on the Slsfcof May, and took with her despatches 'from Sir ( harles Fitz Roy to the Colonial Office. Othet despatches were sent by the Speed, hence May 23rd, to Valparaiso, the mail by which vessel, via Panama, would possibly be delivered in London about the 20th ot August. By the Golden Spring, also hence WavSOth, letter-, were despatched from two mercantile houses, and she arrived in Singapore in time for the steamer to Ceylon,— the mail bv which would arrive in England about August 24th. The Fanny Fisher, Captain H.irrokt, left Sydney on the 6th June, and ariivecl at Sour«baya on the 6th July, in time for the steamer, and as she had a parcel of gold on board shipped by Mr, G. A. Lloyd, to go via Marseilles, by which route the mail was dueyesteiday, there is no doubt that if they have not s<en any before, Australian Gold is this day being exhibited to the merchauts ot London. We quote the following fiom the Straits 7'imcs of the reception of the news at Singapore. S* DNIiY. — ExriMORDINAUY EXCITEMENT. — The brisr Golden Spring, wh.ch arrived here on Tuesday last, has brought accounts from New South Wales, from which we Klin that Sydney, in fact the entire colotu-, was thrown into a stale of the utmost excitemeut'iu consequence of the discovery of vast quantities of Gold, at Bathurst, not f«u distant from Sydney, and which promises to yield the precious metal in quality and quantity crjualto tlic gre.it cl Uurado — California. The mania "in the colony ;. indescribable; artificers, shepherds, l.ibo'ieers, tia«.<c aud otheis, had imitte their wonted avocations foi the diggings. One of the lumps of goid (oui chased by the firm ol Mort and Brown) vvcighod no less than forty-six owice&, and another about twenty; it is. described as nearly pure pold, having but a very small portion of quartz attached. Alter qnotinsr some extracts from the Sydney Marnimr Herald^ the editor says — We may expect that as soon as the news reaches Europe a new and overwhelming tide of immigiation will set in, and thus add a thousand-fold to the piesent excitement. 'ihe Litest news from En rope hart reached Sydney via Panama— the vessels from Englaud which leit in December had not arived, although out nearly 160 days! The gro'd excitement offeis a good inducement tor the immediate placing of Meamcis between this pott and Sydney, for doubtless, on the news teaching Europe tbeie will be an overland cunent of emmrants eager to reach the new cl Dorado Lot, then, the Peninsula and Oriental Company and the Eastern Steam N.ivig.w tion Company "stir their stumps," or the Americans will he the first in the field, and run &le<nn vessels between Panama aud Sydiey.
