NEW SOUTH WALES.

An old resident at Bowen writes from the Norman, under date June 14: — "The Margaret and Jane arrived here safely on the 10th. The Norman River is the finest I have had the good fortune to see for some time. The schooner sailed up forty-five miles without the slightest obstruction. The people here must of necessity go in for a separate colony, their interests are wholly confined to Sydney. Mr Read expects in a month from date a large steamer from Sydney, in order to meet the requirements of the " golden era. " Everybody is off to the Gilbert and Cloncurry. The distance of the former from the Norman is two hundred and 25 miles. The practical diggers per Margaret and Jane left at once for the Cloncurry, where the few men are enriching themselves fast. The Government; being invariably asleep will find much difficulty grappling with changed times, just the same as occured at first with Victoria. You must get far-seeing men to hold the reins of power, otherwise "free and easy" must be the order of the day. An old Bowenite has just promised to show me 81bs of gold in bis possession, got at the Cloncurry. We are going in for a bank. I suggest a branch of the Commercial, Sydney. It is certainly to be regretted that we cannot do business with Queensland ! Consumable supplies scarce and dear."

By the Sufctor mail we received from Measrs. Somer and Brown a piece of copper ore found by them in the ranges behind Mount M'Connell. The sample sent us is taken from the surface, and seems to be rich for surface ore. The finders intend working the lode as soon as Uiey hare secured the ground. "We may hope that Mount Wyatfc will derive some benefit from the prospecting of return diggers from the Gilbert, and they from Mount "Wyatt. There has been a steady though not large yield from this field, notwithstanding that this has been almost deserted in consequence of the Gilbert atampede. The A. J. S. Bank have some 40 oz. in their hands at present. The other banks have none just now, but report that some of the gold lately sent down by them from Mount Wyatt has turned out very well, realising 72s per ounce after all expenses paid. Other lots not so good netting 695. This is a great improvement upon the prices reached some short time back.

Holloway's PUls. — Mastery over Disease. — There is a constant tendency in the human body to pass from strength to weakness unless some means be adopted to counteract the " wear and tear," and other deteriorating influences. Holloways Pills effect this admirably : they accomplish all the most exacting invalid can require. As alteratives they regulate the stomach and rouse the liver ; as purifiers they improve the blood's quality ; as aperients they promote, peristaltic action, and as tonics they invigerate the nervous system. They have blessed with health thousands previously blasted by disease. In all cases the indigestion, palpatation, perspiration, headaches, heartburn and functional obstructions, sufferers have Holloway's Fills as a resource to fall back upon, which, will never4i*ap{>ojnt' their most (anguine hope*.

We (" West Coast Times ") have ( been favoured with the following report : — At the Hau Hau the population has very much decreased, and nearly all the old leads are worked out there, save a few on the Prince Alfred, which are still paying well. But the greater part of the people are at the new rush, between the Kanieri and Tucker Flat. The cement in the claims about the end of the Little Paddock are turning out very poorly, as 8 dwts. to the load is about as much as is got. At the Big Paddock the population is about the same, as there are some extended claims, which keep the population there. At the Blue Spur the population is about the same. The rush to the old Three Mile township is turning out very bad, as only the prospectors have got gold. There are a few parties sinking on. Kellet's Hill, above the Blue Spur, expecting to find the Hau Hau and Prince Alfred leads. All the crushing machines are quite busy.

The " Daily Times " correspondent at Napier,, writes as follows :—": — " A great fall has taken place in all Auckland shares, in good and bad claims and companies alike. The market has been ' bulled ' to an awful extent, and hundreds of poor devils have been made easy victims. A collapse is imminent, or, rather, has already set in. Do not rely on the published share lists. Eight hundredweight of stone from Coromandel, on being crushed, yielded one ounce of gold. Letters received here, from Taraxinki state that rumours were current there that gold had been found in the Hauhau Eanges. The prospecting parties, however, were still out, and no particulars had been received. Several payable rushes are reported from the West Coast. A nugget weighing half a pound has been found on the Lyell.

A Mahomedan Peer.— lt is stated, on the authority of the " Eecord," that by the death of Lord Stanley of Alderley, a Mahomedan Peer will acquire a title to a seat in the House of Lords. Tbe late lord's eldest son was an attache to the Embassy at Constantinople, and whilst residing in the East, embraced the faith of Islamism.
