(From our own Correspondent.)

Things are still very quiet up here. The river is up again and work suspended. Some parties however, are yfottingr gold. Messrs Bid^ood and Co., had a good washiu^-up last weak.

The dredtre party referred to in my last has d'sbanded. They could not

work under tbeir captain, who, I understand, not being able to get a work*

ing party, intends converting the dredge into a missionary cruiser up and down the Molyneux.

The ball which took place in celebration of Mr Beighton's ma^^go, has been reported ad nauseajri^Lohserve in the " Bruce Herald."

Iflgointoa Court House, and give my bill and particulars, and pay my money, it is not likely the Clerk will ask me the precise spot where the cause of action arose. As to the second case referred to, the particulars are not known to me, but I understand it is a very similar ■ case.

Hotloway's Pills and Ointment.—' Bilious headache, and all affections of the system which result from an insufficient or immoderate flow of bile, are at once relieved by the-operatiou of Holloways Pills. Dyspepsia and liver disease are inseparable; for the stomach and the liver sympathise, and as this great medicine acts powerfully upon both these important organs;, it per. forms the work of cure witHr-n p/ecision, rapidity, and thoroughness which have no parallel in the reroYuVof our Col. onial medical practice. The Pillb are relied upon, all over the Cane of Good Hope, with the utmost confidence, in cases of diarrhoea; dysenfrvv'eholeratt)6rbus, spasma of the stomach, eljolera, Inftintuba, and all the others disorders affecting the digestive organs ami the bowels,
