SYDNEY.

jC' July 24. 1 3* An influential deputation waited upon the ; Colonial Secretary on Monday to present a j petition in favour of the forty days' San Francisco service at a cost of £68,000, instead j of a forty-five days' service at a cost of j £48,000. The petition emanated from several j merchants and others, and was signed by \ nearly 1000 persons. Mr Parkes informed the ' deputation that the Government had deter-.., mined upon adopting the best service. They j calculated to be able to deliver letters in Liverpool in forty days from Sydney. The! Government had offered to conrey the New j Zealand mails to the Fijis for a sixpenny I postage, the New Zealand Govemmet j arranging its own branch service. It was estimated that, after deducting postages, the service would not cost New South Wales more than £20,000 a year. At the Carcoar Police Court, John Burton appeared on remand, charged with the mur der of his wife, Eliza Burton. Burton had been arrested on suspicion of having mur dered his wife by burning her on the fire. A great deal of evidence was given, but the Bench did not think it was sufficient to war rant them in sending the case to a jury, and prisoner was discharged. Sergeant Devonald, of Hay, who was kicked by a horse on Friday, died on Satur day ni^ht. ' The body of a little girl named Ann Camp bell, of West Maitland, who was missing, has been found drowned. There is a suspicion of foul play. Great excitement prevails. [

GRAHAMSTOWN

This day,

The new find of gold in the Caledonia yesterday has caused considerable excitement. It waa struck at a depth of 279 vertical feet from surface. The winze is now 34 feet below the main level, and the reef is hard and compact, containing a large amount of minerals of a quality which is usually accom panied with the heaviest gold deposits in the upper level, with the exception of antimony, and the manager has'for some days past been on the look-out for this mineral. On Monday last, in the report published by him to the directors, when describing the lode in this winze, he said it contained all other minerals' except antimony, and that as soon as he found antimony he would find gold. Sure enough the one accompanied the other, but the gold was first found ; for it was not until about four o'clock last evening that the first traces of antimony were met with in stone broken out of the face in the winze. There has only been a small quantity of stone taken down since the gold was discovered, for the face is very hard, and at present, nearly square. It will, therefore, require a day or two for under-cutting before any large quantity can be taken out; gold was found in the face in four or five difl'erent places, but within an area of about three feet in width, by about twenty inches deep. But Eerhaps the best feature is that it is right in the cart of a solid reef, none being fouud within a space of a foot off the hanging wall. The locality is also of very great importance to the company. The Financial Statement gives great dis satisfaction here. The Advertiser regrets to see proposals to revive old provincial borrowing policy under another and more objectionable form. It declares that the provinces will never be made the medium for raising funds for the construction of works-which it is the duty of the General Government to provide for. It also asserts that the colony is living far beyond its income, and that this is proved beyond question by Yogel's proposel to bor row money to. make restoration to public works loan of money taken for other pur poses. It complains that no mention is made of the Thames Valley railway, and of in-, creased taxation by change of tariff. William John Stokes, a boy fifteeen years, was brought up this morning on remand, charged with stealing a gun from a whare belonging to Moananui at Waiomo. It ap peared from evidence that the whare has been abandoned for a long time as the sides were decayed. The boy admitted having taken the gun off the floor of the whare, but stated that he returned it again and placed it in the roof. He was sentenced to fourteen days imprisonment. The Caledonia find yesterday created some excitement. Shares sold this morning at £24. A few small stones were brought up to-day, but it will take till Monday to under cut the reef and develop find. The general impression ia that it is the commencement of tbe main run of gold. The Black Angel crushing exceeedinly well, and getting good stone close to the winze again to-day.

Total Wreck of the Fine Steamer Rangitoto.

The Passengers Saved by the Wellington. Description of the Rescue of the Survivors. WELLINGTON. This day. The s.s. Wellington arrived to - day from Auckland. (from our special reporter). 3.35 p.m. McMeckan, Blackwood, and Co.'s fine steamer Rangitoto was totally wrecked last night on Jackson's Point at the entrance to Queen Charlotte's Sound. i We started from Nelson in the Welling ton a few minutes after the Rangitoto- At j a quarter to one we passed her, and on enter. ! ing the Sound were half-an-hour ahead. We left Picton at midnight and, half way down, picked up a boat containing Mr' Na- J oarrow, Inspector of Steamers, and the j second officer of tbe Rangitoto. They were burning' blue lights, and rockets. We took them on board and proceeded to the scene of the wreck. At half-past two this morning, upon sig nalling, we were answered by a gun and blue lights and rockets from the wreck, which was lying inside the Heads. Shortly afterwards two boats with passen gers,- came on board, the remainder, chiefly ladies and children, to the number of fifty six, had been landed up tbe Sound. It appears that Captain Maekie had turned in, and the chief officer, was in charge, when on passing inside a rock a nuarter of a mile off Jacksou's Point, at half-past six o'clock, the sea being quite calm, the steamer struck heavily on a reef four or five times, and then passed over. it. The accident was entirely owing to. the steadier being taken too close to the Point. Tbe bottom of the vessel was stove in, and the fires instantly extinguished; .the water making a foot a minute. There was just sufficient steam to drive,the 'vessel'on shore. - , - # The cliffs at this point were 700 feet high, and inaccessible. • The bows sank and rested on'the bottom, the stern floating in deep water. • The passengers could not land until the boats were lowered. This was effected with out accident, and all the passengers except about 29 were landed, and one boat. w6nt to seek for the s.s. Wellington. The other boats lay by the steamer for four hours, and then went up the Sound four miles, and landed the ladies and children, and some others at a settler's house, with blankets and provisions. On the arrival of the Wellington sho took on board those on the wreck, and lay by till half-past eight o'clock, the boats saving the mails, luggage and some cargo. The situation is very exposed, and on the' wind changing the steamer must break up or slip off the ledge into deep water. No lives were lost. There was great excite ment on board, but everything was orderly. Mr Blackwood was on board, and super intended the landing of goods. The two ships' crews worked all night, and at a quarter to nine this morning the Wel lington steamed up the Sound and took off all the passengers who had been landed at the settler's house. ......

They, had received great kindness from Mr Turner and family in Marchioness Cove. The re - union of friends .on board the Wellington was exceedingly affecting. We passed the wreck again at 11 o'clock, and stayed by her half-an-hour, when we saw the vessel sink stern foremost. . The men on board saved themselves with difiiculty, the mate swimming. Capt. Carey and his staff have Won golden opinio»s. • Their efforts were superhuman, and their kindness unbounded.

The following were among the passengers of the Rangitoto :—Mr and Mrs Pauline, four children, and servant; Mrs Hector, 2 children, and servant, Mrs Sharp and child, Mrs Gould, Misses J. Carandini, Davidson, Parry. Harley and Frith (2) the Rev. and Mrs Kinimont, the Rev. Mr Andrew, Messrs Nancarrow, Blackwood, Parker (M.G.A.), Cunningham, Hill, McCabe Jones, Davis, Bradshaw, Munro, and a large number of others. None were injured by exposure or otherwise.

When the Wellington left the top of the fonnel, masts, and bows were out of the water. The deck had evidently been broken up, as the sea was strewn with cargo. ' The s.s. Wellington arrived in Wellington at half-past three today.

This day, July 31, 1873, being the sixth anniversary" of the opening of the Thames Gold field, Mr John Sceats, of the British Hotel, exhibited the original placard, " Gold ! Gold ! Gold ! To the Thames !" dated 31st July, 1867, with the announce ment that the steamer Enterprise No. 2 would make her first trip to the newly discovered Eldorado, Mr Sceats guaranteeing the owners of the boat a* stun equivalent to any loss that might possibly occur. About fifty passengers embarked on board with picks and shovels, among whom were the successful strugglers—Messrs Cobley, White, Hunt, and Clarkson. The Thames at that time was a wild district, consisting of creeks, hills, and peach trees. Many who ven tured in that region of dreams have had cause to regret the step, and many on the other hand have been blest by the golden smile of fortune. Messrs Williamson and Smallman were the men who first pegged off the Golden Crown, which has proved in several instances a crown of gold to its steady adherents. That district of swamps and mountains now glitters with human habita tions, and thousands of persons by the peaceful pursuits of industry are gauung a respectable livelihood. The goldheld, sub ject to the vicissitudes of change, is at the present moment slightly depressed, btill on that once uninhabited spot thousands of homes have been erected ; and m the shadow of those rude mountains, civilisation and commerce, have found a seat. Some of the claims have apparently had their day, but from the latest intelligence there is more than a probability that the Caledonia gold-mine will repeat its magic wonders. Still, whatever may be there suit* of mining enterprise, three townships

have been established in the locality—Short land, Grahamstown* aud Tararu —which will not be without important advantages in con nection with tbe future of New Zealand.

THE■ HVBNING WAil TfItfiRSDAX 31, 1873



[advertisement.] riEAIG V. MACFAftLANE. To the Editor of the Evening' Stab. Sir,—ln giving my evidence in the Supreme Court on Monday last to Mr Hesketh's questions I said to him : " You and your firm have done all you.cov'd to 'ic'n me by keeping the deeds of my wife's prop'eity in your oflice for over one year and nine months without registration, and by conveying the best portion to J. S; Macfarlane without my knowledge." Mr; Hesketh denied it, and challenged ifie to prove it. I accepted the challenge v 'th ;'1 my heart. .The par ticulars are as follow :— | ,j On the 20th Maj, IS7O,Mr Lasce"es, so"*citor, made out a deed, at my request, conveying four farms to my wife, Sarah Craig, when I wes all :'ght and out of debt and worth over L2O/00 all clear. I signed the deed in Mr Lascelles' office on tho 27th May. 1870, in the presence of Mr J. Burtt, as trustee. Mr Lascelles, having to go to the Thames to manage'Mr R. Graham's estate, c-.i'ed with me at Messrs Hesketh & Richmond's office about the beginning of June, IS7O. and handed Mr Richmond the deeds in my presence, saying : "I have searched the Registry office and found allco:;-ect ; you have nothing to do but register them." I went to the Regist 7 Office yesterday, and had the deeds in my hand, and found they Wr-re not registered till the 27th March. 1872— just <ne year and ten months to a day. In the month of March 1872, my son, Hugh Craip, when he raw how things were going to ruin, asked his mother how much property she had. She replied, " I have the two allotments, coi.ier of Graham and Hardinge-strtets, conveyed to me in ISC6, and the farms at Tauranga." He said, "Are I you sure?" His mother replied, "Your father con veyed them to me " Hugh Cra.'g made enqr'ries in I March, 1872, and found the farms were not registered.. .He enqu'-ed the reason. Mr Richmond said, "I have jmo money." Hugh Craig there and then gave him L 5 ; I have }/"* Richmond's receipt for the same. To show the untruthfulness of Mr Richmond's re- I ply, I state—and. can .prove -he received in I cash L7O in the month of June, 1870, viz., ! from a native called Keliia, hf'f-brcther te 1 the late William Thompson, Nativ* King, "liso ; j "30th June, cheque Bank of New Zealand,'L2o ..16th July, do do L 2 5; Sth September, ,do do L 24 :In all JAM) Let the public understand that I signed an j agreement about the 12th JvTy, 1870, written by. Mr | Richmond, and signed in his office, and registered in I the Supreme Court. From that date I am held '; harmless from all law experiences whatever I relating to the Warigflpoa law case This is the deed referred to when I was conveying in twst to Mr J. 8. Macfarlane about; thirty farms on the East Co: st, Tauranga. disti-'ct, along with about four thousand acres timber land. It was in this deed that the best part ef my wife's property was improperly incliidi-d". Among so many deeds I did not note this one: This is the farm that the generous, liberal, and open-minded gentleman, Mr J. S. Macfarlane, conveyed to my wife (her own property), when he was compelled by anoth-jr solicitor. This is the faun that he has boasted of so much to his fiiendi of what he has .done, and told Mrs Craig in his own oflice he thought he had done enough for the Craig family. There are more matters I.will refer to and mention them in connection with Mr R'chmot d's office. "\Vuen I was about to sign the large deed referred to (12th .'lnly, ---1870), I think about thirty to forty pages, it stated it was a lioiiii fide sale..' I objected1 to sign it, and took it away for about two da; s. I showed it to Mr J,- Bi'rtt; he said: " You must.not sign it in that-form." Mr Burtt went v.'th'me'to Mi Richmond's office. | I then said: "I w'l not sign it in that form." Mr Richmond replied (or words, to this effect): "As the deed is done xign it; we a" know and understand that, it is by way of trust, and when you can pay Mr J. S. Macfirlane you wi'l get back your property; I will give you a letter to this effect, signed by Mr J. S. : Macfarlane." I signed the deed, but to this day!l have received no such letter. Often has Mr Rti-h- Bond and Mr Thomao Macfgrl-ne said I never would have back the mill. lam satisfied that was intended. Let your readers judge. There are many more matters "ke this, but I wi" .not touch on them at present. All I want from Mr J. S. Macfarlane is, and I have demanded it twice through the Supreme Court, a true account of the books according to the at, cement sig.ied and registered in the Supreme Court, and I will pay him the balance if any.
