LATEST PARTICULARS.
•Tust before going to press, the information readied us by a person just returned from Tuapeka (which we give as we received it), that a miner bad oome in from the Blue mountains, with thirty ounces of gold, to fetch his mates. Another claim wa3 reported to have struck rioh gold. The " rush " is tremendous, 3000 persons are computed to have already left Tuapeka and Waitahuna for the new Eldorado. We have also been favoured with the sight of a letter from the Tuapeka, in which the writer a gentleman of respectability, states that a rush to mount Valpy has taken place, and he bus been informed on authority which he has no reason to doubt, that ono party bad washed 70 (?) ounces of gold out of "one dish. We give the report as it has reached us, but in these times of unfounded rumour, every statement has to be received with caution.
