On Friday morning, several miners waited upon his Honor the Superintendent, at the Government buildings, to urge upon him the necessity of commencing some public work, to. give employment to the men who are at pre sent idle. Mr. C. F. Mitchell, M.P.C., introduced the deputation, which consisted of Messrs. John Graham, J. Buckley, J. McVilley, M. Sullivan, and George Sayers. His Honor -conversed with the deputation for some time, explaining the difficulties in his way in com mencing any expenditure of public money. He said that he would make inquiries into the matter during the day, and also communicate with Auckland by telegraph, and would be ready; to mcc.} a deputation on the subject on Saturday.— Advertiser.

On Saturday afternoon, his Honor the Super intendent, accompanied byCaptain Goldsmith, one of the visiting Justices, and Mr. Millett, Assistant Engineer, visited the Shortland gaol. The -ells and yard were inspected, the chief object-being to examine if there were sufficient security for the prisoners in custody. His Honor was of opinion, we believe, that the premises were not so secure as they ought to be, and various suggestions were discussed fWith"_that objeot. : We believe that several al terations will be made lit once. — Advertiser.

AUCKLAND ETHIOPIAN TROUPE.

This evening .the above troupe will make its first appeal to the public in aid of its own funds,- which, we have no doubt, are at a pretty low ebb, in consequence of the number of gratuitous performances which it has given since its formation, now about two months ago. We understand" that the result of the last performance in aid of the Orphan's Home was £20, and the performance of this evening is to raise a fund for the purchase of music, instruments, &c, in order that the forthcoming season may be vigorously entered upon. Among those who have given their patronage —and who have also signified their intention of being present —are his Excellency the Go vernor, Lady Bovven, His Honor the Superin tendent, the Colonial Treasurer, the officers of H.M.S. Blanche, and the committees of the Orphan Home, Parnell, and the Mechanics' Institute, Auckland. Wo trust that the house will be crowded in every pait.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM

THIS DAY.

PROPOSED NATIVE MEETING. [■from our own correspondent.] Gratiamstown, 3 p.m. Tue Natives arc assembling here for the purpose of holding another korero. There is great excitement and anxiety for news from Europe by the San Francisco mail. The Shotovcr lodged 18G ozs. from the amal gam taken off the plates at Partington's machine.

AUCKLAND RACES

A number of persons interested in horse racing met at Campion's City Club Hotel, on Saturday evening last —Mr.. Peyton in the chair—with a view to determine whether ther should be any races for tho New Year. After some discussion it was resolved to adjourn the meeting for a week, at the same time and place. In the meantime the gentlemen present pledged themselves to canvass the town to see what amount of subscriptions would be forthcoming. We trust that the New Year will not be allowed to pass wi.hout Ihe annual races taking place, such an omission would be a discredit to the sporting com munity of Auckland. A largo meeting is ex pected next Saturday. .

SODDEN DEATH.—INQUEST.

\ An inquest was held at the Alexandra Hotel, on Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock, touching the death of James Macrae, who died suddenly in Custom-house-street, the previous day.; A ' jury of whom Mr. W. Waddell was chosen foreman having been empannelled and having viewed the body the following evidenco was , taken :—Elizabeth Macrae deposed :My hus band is a shoemaker lately arrived from Glas ; gow, aud was 48 years of age. My hus band and I had come out recently by the Frith of Clyde, and came up from Wellington in the Lord Ashley. We arrived in Auck and on Friday morning. We took a house in Albert-street and commenced to carry the i luggage up in a cart. While the cart was going up Custom-house-street my husband ,' complained of a pain in his chest, and said he would be glad to get home and lie down. We were walking at the back of the cart with a fellow passenger. Very shortly after com • plaining I looked back and saw he had fallen clown. He was raised up and water obtained, but he was unable to swallow. His eyes were 1 glazed. He appeared to have died instantly 1 without drawing a breath. His body was re moved to Chapel-street in a cart. Dr. Golds bro' saw him there, and at once pronouced him dead. My husband had always been a healthy man. I only knew him to be ill once in Edin burgh about twenty years ago. He had an inflammation on the chest. Dr. Burns who at tended him J said he had only sent for him in time, as if it had been twelve hours later he would have been a dead man. He also told him to be careful of him self, or some day he would go off like a snuff of a candle. Deceased was a very sober man. He had only one glass of beer yester day. We had a very rough time of it coming out. The place where the passengers were was very small. About a month ago he.fell out of his bunk over a door and hurt his left side, of which he has frequently complained since. He never could lie on his left side afterwards. —James Hedley gave evidence to ; the same effect —Joseph Prescott also "gave evidence to I the effect that he saw deceased fall down on Friday afternoon, and on examination found him. to :be dead.—Dr. Goldsbro' deposed: I was called to see deceased yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock,, and. found that life was ex tinct. The features were pale and composed ; the pupils dilated, and no -froth, about the mouth. There was no pulsation at either the heart or the wrist. There was a slight abrasion on the right temple,. apparently caused by a fall.' He had evidently been dead a quarter, of an hour when I saw him. I have this day made a post mortem examination of the body, assisted by Dr. Lee. I -first opened the chest, and? found the lungs slightly adherent in several parts, but healthy in structure. I next examined the heart, and found a considerable ■^amount of serous fluid in the pericardium, j •The heart was large, and fat, and the ventricles j considerably dilated and thin. The aortic I valves were in a frightful state of disease, being j thickened, and having no power of 'clpsiug, j thereby giving rise to a gurgitation of the \ blood. There was a large fibrous 010 bin the right ventricle. /The mitral valyes were healthy S Y

There was no aneurism or rupture of blood vessel. I examined the stomach and kidneys. They were ..healthy, and contained no trace of poison. They liver was adherent to the lower surface of th#midriff. , L ;.The.Ykidneys, were large. lam of opinion that the*cause of death was..disease of the aortic valves, producing fatal syncope. cilifse .of, death was so apparent that I did not think*'it necessary to examine the head.—This was the whole of the evidence, and-, verdict was given in accord ance with the medical testimony.
