RUMOURED SUSPENSION OF WORKS IN CALEDONIAN MAIN LEVEL.

GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day.

There is no fresh news from Ohinemuri. The " Advertiser " pigeons are to arrive this evening with despatches. Tbe JPumping Association works are pro gressing splendidly, but there being 71 feet of water above the 400 feet level, and 60 feet in the shaft under it, and all workings full, it will be some time before it is cleared out. g. The Golden Calf crushed specimens to-day and made a fine show of amalgam. Tbe return will be excellent.

Tbe Long Drive gold, melted, weighed 133 ozs. 11 dwts.

The Alburnia has 194 ozs. 5 dwts. A survey is being held to-day of the new reefs in the Vanguard workings to determine its strike and bearings as regards adjoining reefs. The lode is thick and looks promising.

It is rumoured that all works in tbe main level of the Caledonian and Albion mines will be suspended, as the five drives have now reached the boundaries, 1600 feet of driving performed and no payable quartz struck.

THE WELLINGTON RACES,

THE MAYORAL CONTEST,

CARD-SHARPING THE EMPIRE

CITY.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day,

Great preparations are being made for the races. The Jockey Club has expended a large sum of money in increasing tbe appoint ments of the grand stand building, and im proving the course and ground to secure the comfort and safety of spectators, and offer every facility for good racing. JJExtra trains will be run earlier and later than usual. Three or four steamers will also convey pas sengers.

The Mayoralty contest is waxing warm. Mr Moorhouse has thrown himself into tbe turmoil enthusiastically. He addressed the citizens last night at the Oddfellows' Hall, and will stump different wards of the city. The Post is feeding fat its ancient grudge against the ex-Mayor, Mr Dransfield, and fighting tooth and nail for Mr Moorbouse. The Times is neutral, and says not yea nor nay for either. The atmosphere of Wellington does not agree with the talent. The police are too attentive altogether. A case of the biter bit came into Court yesterday. Solomon Collins, Alfred Drake, and Nathan Simpson were charged with card-sbarping by Henry C. Williams at poker. They rung in what is called cold deck upon him, and took his bottom dollar. Tbe prosecutor was more Wok than pigeon. He says to one of the trio—" Collins, be has a heap of sugar ; let have him to-night at poker. Sharp No. 2 ■greed, but Collins being his friend, be put 11101 %, and went back upon tbe other. The. case was put into the hands of Mr Travers ; but as the respectability of the sharps was prejudiced, they squared it with the prosecutor, and finding the police had gotten hold of the affair, they spirited the prosecutor away. It is supposed he is not to joe found, and the peelers have tbeir eyes skinned in all directions. The-fancy-consider Bttch publicity rather stupid and uncalled for. They have only been a few days here, and »re known of all men. The Burford cum-Stephenson Company are dF agging out a miserable existence with poor pieces, but good playing, to poor houses. The tunnel through the Rimutaka Hill on the Wellington and Masterton line bids fair jo reserve completion "for doomsday. They Jave struck trap-rock contrary to specifica «on, and j 3 disagreeing much with tbe stomach of contractors. The want of more JpUing stock is much felt upon the Hutt &ft That is the chief reauon why steamers *?!laid on to take people to the races. The general impression is that the salvors H the Strathnaver will lose their case and £10,000 they want. ' . t « has been glorious weather for the past Week.

WELLINGTON. (Per Press Telegram Agency.)

VOYAGE OF THE NEW BARQUENTINE FALCON.

DUNEDIN.

(From our own Correspondent.)

mi. i_ • Tilis day. _ Ihe barquentine Falcon arrived yesterday in splendid condition. She made a good passage, the light weather considered, and behaved well throughout. Having no ballast under her timber cargo, the captain could not press her. Hence the best rate of sailing is unascertainable. He could, however, get ten knots out of her. The vessel is much admired, and pronounced a credit to Auck land.

The Harbour Board propose at once to dredge the long channel so as to enable inter provincial steamers to come up to town, and to build a dredger capable of lifting 500 tons of stuff hourly. The Board is very dissatis fied, because the Superintendent delays dele gating the powers under the Marine Act. They interviewed Mr. Reynolds yesterday, who said as soon as it was clone, the Govern ment will act the same as in the case of Auckland.

The Licensing Bench has steadily set its face against the re-hearing of applications already refused, and has notified that anyone convicted of a breach of tbe Act need never apply.

Trout fishing was commenced yesterday. Large numbers of people went fishing to the Water of Leith, and catches of 13 and 8 lbs. are reported.

LYTTELTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Arrived : John Bull, barque, from New castle ; Flirt, from Auckland ; Alhambra, from the North. Tbe latter has since sailed South.

DISQUALIFICATION OF MABEL'S JOCKEY.

DuNEDIN. (Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day.

The ship Hou rah, with 330 immigrants is signalled outside the Heads. Tbe Phoebe has gone to tow her in.

The Dunedin Choral Society gave tbe oratorio of the " Prodigal SonY to a crowded attendance, at the Universal JHall, last night. Trout fishing was commenced yesterday, and there was some good sport. At a full meeting of the Jockey Club, last night, a protest against Mabel and tbe con duct of ber rider in the St. [Andrew's Handicap was considered. It' was pioved that tbe horses head turned after the start was made, and Dodson the starter, and others stated that the horse was afterwards wilfully held. Mitchell the rider was disqualified from riding on the Forbury course during the pleasure of tbe Club, a consideration of the protest of Cap tain Hutcheson, tbe owner of Mabel, was adjourned till Saturday. Captain Hutcheson said that by this course he considered a slur was thrown on him, and he banded in his resignation as vice president of the Club.

DOMAIN BOARD.—This Day.

The usual monthly meeting of the Domain Board was held to-day at noon. Present: — His Worship the Mayor (in tbe chair), Messrs. Fenton, Mitford, and Heale.

A letter was read from the District En gineer, urging the Board to complete the fence between the Hospital and Domain as speedily as possible.

The secretary was requested to reply that tbe Board was waiting for the decision as to the site of tbe new Hospital, or it would have received their attention before.

A letter was read from Mr. Baird, seeds man, of Victoria-street, making an offer for a lease of certain ground for the purpose of making a nursery, and agreeing to keep tbe said ground and entrance in good repair. After some discussion upon Mr Baird's offer, it was agreed "That Mr Baird be allowed to have the ground for three years, certain at a yearly rental of £17 10s, and afterwards on a lease, of twelve years, includ ing a clause empowering tbe Board to cancel tbe term at six months' notice, if required by tbe Board for their special use; one year's rent to be given to Mr Baird in compensa tion.

A letter was read from Mr. Rice on behalf of tbe Public Building Commissioners, asking for a piece of land between the Domain and Hospital, for which they would receive another piece of equal value. The matter was referred to ths sub-com mittee, Messrs Fenton and Brett, for arrangement. The Mayor announced that he had received a letter from Mr Brett, apologising his absence owing to pressure of business, ACCOUNTS. The monthly accounts were brought up and ordered to be paid. This was all the business.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.

AN IMMIGRANT LOST.

fL??^™ n*»BenBer arrived this' morning from Helensville, and informs us that a new arrival by a recent ship, named John Giles, has disappeared in a most mysterious man ner. It seems, from the information, that toe man in question was employed up to last Saturday on the railway works, six miles from Helensville. He wa^of sober and temperate habits, but of a turn ot mind, and shewed an unaccountable disposition towards bis mates. It seems that on Sunday night last he went out towards the creek that runs hard by the camp to wash some clothes, and from that time has not been seen or heard of. His mates have done all that they can to trace him without avail. He had on his person a silver lever and several pounds in cash. His clothes and provisions are left behind. There is a large bush close at hand, but whether he wandered into it is not known. The man has a sister living in some part of Parnell.
