The Police Court wa3 occupied most of the day investigating the charges., against Mr. Sinaile.

We understand. that the, objects 'of the •i? Mutual , Mining Investment, Company " have been received with much favor by the public, all the shares (200), with the excep tion of about ten, having already been taken liq. Several excellent investments have been already made by the direofcors. •

As will be seen from another column, a cftmpany of sharebrokers and estate agents has just started under the management of Mr. Luscombe, whose experience in this par ticular line of business in Victoria is a guar antee of the thorough manner in which the business of the company will be conducted. We shall refer, at greater length, to the sub jection another occasion.

It will be noticed that the success which has! attended the Mutual Mining Investment Company, in which almost all the shares has been tat en tip, has stimulated a similar en terprise, and that another society on a similar basis styled the Caledonian Mutual Invest ment company, is projected. We shall give further details of the project in a future issue.

We would draw attention to theprogiT.rnaie in another column of one of the most interest ing entertainments given in Auckland, which will take place to-morrow evening, at the City Hall. The sacred object, as "well as the in trinsic merits of the affair itself, will, we have no doubt, attract a very large assemblage.

We h&ve been requested to draw attention to the fact that an error appears in an a Iver tisoment in this morning's issue of our con temporary the D. S. Cross, with reference to the Thames Gold Mining Company. The sum of £2 is mentioned as the dividend pay able next week, whereas the amount is not known, though we believe it is generally understood that the dividend will be very considerably beyond the sum stated.

There, is a really magnificent specimen at present on view at Mr. Peacock's, optician Shortland Crescent, from the Boyal Oak claim, adjoining the Tokatea, sit Coronmndel. The specimen is very large, full of gold of a very fine' description, and bears a strong like ness to the stone of the Long Drive. We would recommend a view of the specimen to those who affect Coromandel. -

A meeting of. gentlemen interested in the game .of football was held last night, when it was decided to form a club; tho subscription wasl fixed" at two shillings, a uniform of a light blue cap was adopted, and a match, legal profession against all corners, was ar ranged to come off in the Albert Barracks at 3' o'clock on Saturday afternoon next.

The following extract from The Press ex plains to some extent our telegraph published a few days ago i—" By the barque Queen of the South, which arrived on the 16th instant from "Western Australia, with a cargo of jarrah timber for the Government, several conditional pardon men were passengers, five of whom were Fenians,'and their advent created some little excitement. From what wo can learn, the. men applied, previous to leaving Western Australia, to the Colonial Secretary of that Colony, for information;as to whether they would -be! allowed to land in: Now Zealand, and they were given to understand that there was uo obstacle to their so doing. This,'how 4' ever, is nob the case, as an Act is in force in New Zealand rendering them liablo to penal servitude'for several years. We understand that the Fenians on board are only en route for Sydney, aud did not intend settling in this province." -.' . . :" i;-

■ De. Caee,—The Wakafip Mail says:— "A meeting of residents of the. EJpper Shot over and Skippers took place last week at the Library Hall there, for the purpose of pre senting Dr. Carr (the well-known phrenolo gist and lecturer) with a token of their appre ciation of his'able lectures and entertainments in their districts during the past fortnight. Mr. rH. Eagar occupied the chair, and in a few suitable remarks presented the worthy Doctor with a handsome testimonial, and also a small parcel of nuggets for Mrs. Carr. We understand the Doctor's tour through the Wakatip district has been highly satisfactory."

The Timaru Herald supplies the" following account ofau exploring expedition to Mount Cook :—" Last Sunday weak, a man named M. Reddoff started, on an exploring expedition up the glaciers of Mount Cook, and reached a part of the mountain never before, we be lieve/ trddden-by man. Eeddoff> more com monly known by the name of " Big Mike," holds a small run under : the mountain, and, has his homestead about six miles from the foot, of the glaciers. He undertook hi 3 expe dition, for. the purppse of looking for .some sheep which had been driven off by dogs, and. were supposed to; have gone on to the heights.of the mountain, ',. He tracke.d the sheep from, "glacier: -io,. glacier by/ the. foot tracks: •in 'the ysraow,\ and- crosJ^fV' the celebrated. Tasman glacier; about 'fch'rcl* miles from which he! baine to a place called by • explorere 'The Gully,' a rast ice chasm, which few men, if indeed/any, .have succeeded in crossing. The gully crossed, Mike went still onwards, his dogs being'his only companions, and went boldly upi one of the' main spurs of Mount Cook. Oa the highest point possible for sheep to reach he found his missing lot, eleven in numberj but in return ing four were lost.by falling over precipices.' For i two nights Mike camped out upon the ice^one of which he was lying, as it were,; under the shadow of Mount Cook's highest peak, which ascended upwards as a high wall

of solid ice, unbroken save here and there by lingo points of rock. The travelling in .-many places was so bad and risky, that Eeddoff had to take oil'his boots and'trusfc to his stockinged feet for a fooihoid. He returned home, the following Thursday, but his booh, which were almost new at starting,: were literally cut to pieces'by thorough usage they had: received on the journey.

Tlie Ballarat Courier, xelatnp^ that two mar:! ried men, working minersWdrie the father of four boys, the other of two boys and girls—' called on the,secretary of the Ballarat woollen' factory lately-j and requested to be ■allotted,* the one iive, the other three shares in the company, for which they both tendered cash. It was explained by the secretary that the. terms of pa.ym'ent had been altered, they would ouly rcquivolo pify five shillings eacii slmro in cash, and the balance by instalments. This, they said, they did not want; they had; paved up £8 between them, and would pay the whole amount per share as soon as it was wanted, and would keep the money for that pur pose, as they never expected to seeone ehillingof it back. Such a singular statement, nnrler tlißse circumstances, induced the secretary -to' a?k ivMt they meant, pointing out at the same time! that there was no doubt of their getting their mouey back if the factory were managed with skill and economy. They each suicl they would never expect anything, and then they ' would not be disappointed; fhat the sole1 object they hnd in taking up sharo3 was to encourage an industry that would.' provide employment for their children, and . for their children, and for tbnso of poor men like themselves. If (liis gvund example (says the Courier) were followed by a few hundreds of the working men of Ballarat, we should soon have woollen and oUier factories, and a popu lation we might prom, ly boast of. The following tenders fcr the extension of G-raharastown wharf were s nt in, that of Messrs. Boyle and Co. being the one accepted : —Boylo and Co., £1,460 ; MeKcnzie and Wal lace, £1,462 Ss. 4'd. ; Dixon Brothers, £1,459-; Elliott and Dent, £1,898 ; Sonicrville Brothers £2,150 ; E. N.

THE NEVADA.

There appears to be some misapprehen sion with reference to the expected arrival of theNevadn. It seems generally thought that the mail steamer is overdue. She Jeffc here on the 21st ult., and allowing her fifteen days each, way, with two days for coaling, unshipping and shipping pas sengers, mails, &c, she would not be due till tomorrow. On to-morrow, therefore, we may espect to see the mail boat in our waters.

ONEHUNGA LICENSING MEETING.

Wednesday being Iho dny fixed for holding the adjourned licensing mei2t.iii£, tJ*e following Justjces were present.:—Captain Symonds (Oh'airman), !0. jleLean, Dr. J. R. Nicholson, G-. Kells, 11. do C. ijarlalli. The first case Vas that of ref.cr Brady, of Howick Anas Hotel, Ilovvick. The Bench granted 'the renewal. — The next case was an 'application for (ho liailway Terminus ■Hotel, Onehunga, by John Liindon.—Mr. .Sheehan appeared in support of the licence, and stated that the building, though not quite completed, was nearly so. The plans were pro duced, and the Bench granted the certificato for the licence, provided the building is Gnished ■to_ fulfil thorequii-ementsof the Act.—The next, case was for a licence for an old house at Panmure, to be removed' to a new building owned by the same party. Mr. Sheehan'ap peared to support the application. The diffi culty aroso from the fact that.the applicant had not strictly complied with the require-1" ments of the. new Act. As the casa was mo9t peculiar, ho therefore applied fora renewal of his licence, pending the notification tkat he wanted to. l'empve the licence to a new and better house.' Mr. Brookfiold appeared1' to oppose tlie application, not to gr/mting the old licence, but to granting what this applica tion wins-, namely/for it licence for a new house altogether, and he contended that the Bench had no power to grant a transfer from one house to another ualess in case of destruc tion by fire.—;The,Jßench refused the applica tion, but' directed the certificate to issue, for the old premises.
