♦ — The Natal Merenry sayss-^Bumourt are afloat regard ing the discovery of cold in Zulnland. It is quite tree that a fine little nugget* weighing one ounce, has been brought in from the northers side of the Tueela, but it is quite prema* tare as yet to. say that a goldfield has been discovered. As for the Transvaal, our own correspondent at Pretoria writes under date February 21st :— * There are) rnmours of all kinds abroad aa to largt discoveries of gold being made, but these mnst be taken at a large discount. The fact appears to be established, however, that the old dialog* at Spitfkop, Ac, are ' looking op * again, for in on« week 45nzs of gold were taken out of the claim of Messrs White and King, and 6tow. in the following week. It is said that 1 far larger quantity has since been taken out of the same spot. There it una doubtedly payable gold in the Lyden* burg district, but there is nothing as yet which will warrant people at a distanc* * rushing ' into the toilsome and uncertain life of god-digging. President Grevy has « salary of £24, 000 a year, besides £12,000 for his house* bold expenses. France is liberal. A socioty of women painters has been formed at Manchester, where il is pro* posed to hold shortly an exhibition of the works of female artists.
