THE GREY.
By the Grey Argus we learn that the different gold-fields in the district are flourishing. From the North Beach heavy parcels of gold occasionally arrive in town, the ground in the vicinity j of the Darkies terrace being especially [ rich. Some new ground, from half-a-mile to a mile north of the point, has been opened and promises fairly. The Little Grey diggings support a moderate population, and a very fair amount of " dust" is sent into the market weekly ; but heavy patches are not met with. The place seems to be a steady diggings, and promises to afford permanent employment for years. From the older field in the Arnold district, Red Jack's and Maori Gullies Nos. 1 and 2, encouraging accounts have come to hand of the steady progress of the several communities. No fresh discoveries have, however, been made, and nothing has occurred to cause the slightest move in that direction. The Ai'gus, of the sth instant says that rumors are in cumulation that some good ground has been discovered on the north bank of the River Grey, about five miles from town. 'We shall have further particulars in a day or two, which will be made public in our next issue.
