THE THAMES.

THIS DAT. THE CALEDONIAN MINE.— ANOTHER SPLENDID FIND. Ox Saturday the men at work in the slopes of the Caledonian mine, from the Golden Crown mine workings, were employed in tak ing out specimens of the same rich quality which yielded so well in the recent crushing. There were, in all, about 700 lbs. weight of this stone taken out during the day from this part of the mine. Gold is also found in good quantity in the drive on the reef from the engine shaft, and the prospects of the company never looked better than they do at present. If specimens continue to be turned out in this manner, it i 3 likely that another dividend may be paid duiing the month.

SWAN THE POPULAR CANDIDATE.

(l-EOM THE "HEItALD.") Gkahamstown, 3.58 p.m. FIVE hundred pounds of specimens have been taken out of the Caledonia mine to-day. There are 900 pounds on hand, and the reef yery rich. 9 p.m. The Dauntless has 124 ozs. from 100 tons stone. Beveridge and Sam addressed a large meet ing, and refuted the charges brought against them by Mitchell. Sheehan spoke, after which a vote of confi dence was passed in them by a large majority of the meeting. Swan followed, and after a clever and ex haustive speech, it was resolved, by an over whelming majority, that he was the fittest man to represent the constituency in the General Assembly.
