The 24,886 Chinese engaged in search of gold were nearly all
males, there being but one woman of the same race included in
the number.

According to returns of March 1863, the population on the gold
fields amounted to 229,600, of whom 88,000 were actually engaged
in mining. They had in use 776 steam engines, equal to 11,760
horse power.
For alluvial mining there were besides 3,256
puddling machines, and a variety of other machinery, estimated of
the value of 1,486,000l. The total area of the territory of the
colony where gold had been found, from 1851, till March, 1863,
extended over 1,754 miles. The produce of the gold fields, how-
ever, appears to be steadily diminishing, and agriculture is again
becoming the main industry of the inhabitants of Victoria.

Translated from the French. By the Translator of Napoleon Correspondence with King Joseph.' With numerous additions. 2 vols. crown 8vo. 21s.

Few men of the nineteenth century have attained a more remarkable influence.

[GARIBALDI AT CAPRERA.

By COLONEL VECCHJ. With Preface by Mrs. GASKELL, and a View of Caprera. Fcp. 8vo. cloth, 3s. 6d.

After all has been told, there was something wanting to the full and true impression of the Patriot's character and mode of life; as every one who reads this artless and enthusiastic narration will certainly admit. Mrs. GASKELL says she knows that "every particular" of this full and minute account may be relied upon; and it has an air of truth that commends it even when it is most extravagant in its admiration.'-NONCONFORMIST.

ROME IN 1860.

By EDWARD DICEY, Author of 'Life of Cavour.' Crown 8vo. cloth, 6s. 6d. 'So striking and apparently so faithful a portrait. It is the Rome of real life he has depicted.'-SPECTATOR.

And the last Italian Poet. By the late HENRY LUSHINGTON, Chief Secretary to the Government of Malta. With a Biographical Preface by G. STOVIN VENABLES. Crown 8vo. cloth, 6s. 6d.

'Perhaps the most difficult of all literary tasks the task of giving historical unity, dignity, and interest to events so recent as to be still encumbered with all the details with which newspapers invest them-has never been more successfully discharged. Mr. Lushington, in a

very short compass, shows the true nature and sequence of the event, and gives to the whole story of the struggle and defeat of Italy a degree of unity and dramatic interest which not one newspaper reader in ten thousand ever supposed it to possess.'-SATURDAY REVIEW.
