A correspondent of the Nelson Lvcning Mail writes as follows from Tadmor, under date March 21:—There is nothing new to report from these diggings. All the holes pgt down on the supposed lead on the flat have hitherto turned out duffers. One party near the front are down twenty-five feet, and they intend trying to bottom, but have a good deal of water to contend against ; they will have a Californian pump at work shortly which will enable them to get on better, and it is to be hoped they will be successful, as they certainly deserve something for their trouble. Another party have taken a cut in, but have not begun to sink ; both are working in a systematic manner. Two of Perrotta’s mates have sold out, one for £'6o, and the other for £22. -■ v share in Pahl’s sold for £lO, and one below White's claim for £1 a. A few men have gone up the river prospecting, and many have left the place.
