AORERE. [From the Correspondent of the Nelson Examiner.)

Sfa'tfßiVr, No*. 6th, 1857.' The summtr appears,' tdhave' set in at last; and the conaequence is jhat'all the" diggers having 'claimsare' busy working them, and very few were to be Been about thieiMrweet/tideptrieWcomert :' this give, the Dig-; cinn m appearance of dullnea*, which does not exist. Moat'bf the'diggers are doing- well on thett clafms, imdnew creeks containing gold are daily being found j but the-richness of Statelnver has rather raised bur expectatfons, and has caused disappointment to many who bare found luMient only for good wages, but who froijii report* had expected to make a "pile quickly. New chums'' come and go again in great numbers: they leave mostly from having formed exaggerated notionsofthegold diggings, and that the gold has only to be dug'for; forgetting that, it is necessary to find where to dig ; and that, though there may be plenty of •old in the country, it is quite possible to dig within a few inches' of it without finding it. Nevertheless, gold tsomes in more plentifully now the fine weather has set in, "and every one appears in good spirits. Half a claim in Slate River was sold the other day tor '4UOO. On the whole, our Diggings appear now to be thoroughly established, and although we hear and read Jong accounts of gold being found in other districts, we 'do not find a single fact that goes to prove a degree of wealth in gold existing in any other place equal to the Aorere. , There was a slight misunderstanding occurred on the ■Ranges between some Maories and a p\rty of white men respecting* claim, but which was very amicably settled by a little explanation. Indeed, the Regulations I *iade by the diggers answer exceedingly well, and have j "hitherto been carried out in a friendly anil quiet manner, , despite of the conflicting interests that have to be nd- j justed by them: the mutual protection which they afford to all seems to give great satisfaction. The Superintendent was here this week, and took the ■very wise plan of judging for himtflf by walking to the Quart* Ranges, ard it is und«wstood that he saw the ) ntcessity of immediately opening a main, road up the ♦alley to the Quartz Ranges, as well as mending and. •opening temporary roads to carry on with while the main road is in progress. This, if carried out, will be a great boon to the diggings, and will remove the principal difficulty to the proper development of our goldfields.
