NELSON.

This day,

The Provincial Council opened to day. The last year's revenue showed a decrease of £7,000, as com pared , with the previous year. The revenue was £22,000 below tho estimates; the deficiency is explained by the decrease in the ordinary gold fields' revenue, the anticipated land sales at Inangahua Goldfield not proving equal to expenditure on the goidfield. The reduction of gold duty by 6d an ounce had also assisted to make the de ficiency ; the absorbtion by the General Covernment of what would otherwise xc Provincial revenue. The speech refers at length to the inland communi cation scheme, and recommends the extension of Canterbury Railways, as suggested by Mr Vogel, on account of the colonial character that would be thus imparted to the undertaking. Mr Vogel telegraphs that he hopes all animosities will be buried in turn ing the first sod of the railway.

A general meeting of the shareholders of the Otago Gold Mining; Company was held this afternoon in the large room of the Insurance buildings for the purpose of pre senting the directors' and mine manager's reports and the balance-sheet for the half year ending March 31st, 1873. About thirty shareholders were present. Mr P. Brophy occupied the chair. Mr McKellar read the Directors' report and balance-sheet as follows : —

" The directors have great pleasure on the present occasion in presenting to the share holders a more satisfactory balance-sheet for the past half-year than it has been their lot to do at previous meetings. The expenditure has been £862 9s. 3d., and the receipts £723 Bs., leaving a balance to the debit of profit and loss of only £139 Is. 3d.

'■' One hundred and fifty tons of quartz have been crushed with a result of 256 ozs. 3 dwts. 12 grs. This was principally obtained from a block of ground lying between our boundary with the Golden Calf and a. slide 80ft. from it,-- and - rising upwards to the Red Queen boundary, an .estimated distance of about 90ft. ; only a 'small portion of this has as yet been taken iout. : It is also expected that a rich block of ground, will ,be found below our- present level, some good stone having been obtained from the winze. You are, however, referred to the mine manager's,report (which will be read to you) for this and other information respecting the mine. ■ " The directors have reason to believe that ithey may now safely congratulate the share holders on the prospect of the mine becoming speedily'remunerative, and ,to this end they will continue to give the management their best.attention. , . • i " Signed on behalf of the directors, "J.
