A party of miners imme diately proceeded to the spot, and finding the reef pegged out a claim before the Chinamen had time to return. Subsequently a rush set in, arid all the adjoining ground was pegged off. AH agree that the stone is of extraordinary richness. THE NANIMA TRAGEDY. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Sydney, January 14 Particulars of the .Namima tragedy show that Elms and Herbert West his brother-in-law, had breakfast with the family. West finished first, went into a bedroom adjoining, procured a Sun and, placing the muzzle close to Elms' head, fired . The greater portion of the skull was blown away; After wards West stood guard over the house and would allow none to ap proach, but quietly surrendered him ealf on the arrival of the police. He simply said that Elms should have been shot long ago. The prisoner added that he would not have com mitted the deed had he known it would have caused so much fuss. West has been eccentric in manner for some time. SEAMEN'S STRIKE. The Monowai's crew refuse to sign articles, excepting at an advance of £1 per month.

A full bench dealt with the question of hawkers licenses. There were 193 applications for renewal, of which 23 were withdrawn, and as the police had no complaint to make against the re mainder, which included a number rftcently refused by one magistrate, all were granted. Seven out of nine new •applications were ref ased on the ground that the applicants were insufficiencly known to the police. THE WEATHER IN VICTORIA.
