VIEWS OF THE DIGGINGS. – The first of a series of six sketches of the Summerhill Diggings, from the graphic pencil of Mr G. F. Angas, has been forwarded to us. Having been taken on the spot by the artist, their flexibility cannot be questioned, and in respect of execution they are immeasurably superior to any colonial lithographs we have ever seen. The complete series, we understand, will be published in the course of a few days, when those interested may gratify their curiosity as to the general features and scenery of this treasure-yielding locality.
