Mining news from the Brighton district for the past few weeks has been very unimportant. On tbo new ground recently rushed, there are still from fifty to sixty miners at work, but no new discoveries have been made, and half that number are not on payable gold. There are one or two parties prospecting on the south side of the river, but as yet without any payable result. On the older terraces —Welshman's, Dublin, Belfast, and Daylosford—work goes on in the same steady manner, without any increase or much decrease of population. The township of Brighton presents an unusuallydull appearance, and business, if such a, word is at all applicable to Brighton, is t),s ita dullest stage.
