A Surveyor Stopped.

Gold Found.

[Prom our Special Correspondent.]

Mr Walker a surveyor, has been stopped by natives from cutting the boundary at Bikutaia.

Gold has been found in Eotokotiu and adjoining creeks, not rich but good. Reefs are expected in that locality. There is great dissatisfaction amongst the diggers at the delay in opening. There is a rumour of a rich find in the ranges of alluvial wash containing shotty gold overlaying the reef.

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

WELLINGTON.

(From our Own Correspondent.) This day. Resignation of Mr. Fox. All doubts about Mr Fox's resignation of his seat for Rangitikei constituency are now dispelled. Mr Fox has got an old personal friend, William Watt, to come forward in hi 3 place. Mr Watt has represented the district before, and is a large property owner there. He is very popular, though anything but clever, but he has that old identity status which would probably enable him to beat any candidate save Fox or Featherston.

Shipping Advices. The following shipping was at Wellington wharf one day last week :—Ships : Soukar, Howrah, Jessie Readman, Avalanche, Berar, Langstone, and Humbolt, two barques, two brigs, H.M.S. Rosario, numerous small craft, also eight steamers.

NAPIER.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day.

A new traffic manager has been appointed for the railway, there having been numerous complaints of goods being delayed in tran sit.

The estimate of Provincial Government work were made so low that all tenders have been refused. Important works are conse quently delayed, and much grumbling is evoked.

A large proportion of the immigrants by the Huinbolt, now in quarantine at Welling ton, were destined for Napier. The Agent-General telegraphs that the ship Fritzreuter, from Hamburg to Napier, sailed on November 20, and put back. She brings a large number of German immi grants. The Militia parades at the Wairoadistricfc, North Hawke's Bay, have been discontinued and arms are recalled. To-day's Shipping. The Southern Cross steamed for Auckland at half-past twelve.

DUNEDIN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Slander Case.' The alleged slander in the case of Malaghan v. Winkham is that the latter spread, the report that Malaghan dishonored bills he gave as trustee in the estate of the plaintiff. At the commencement of the trial he expressed his willingness to accept an apology, bat if tendered at the last moment he would press for substantial damages. Victorian Inspectorof Mines.—Mining Report. Mr Ulrich reports favorably of the pros pects of the Mount Ida field and Peninsula reefs. He says the indications of the latter resembled the rich bearine; lodes of Wood's Point. The Cricketing and Shooting defeats. The Time? ascribes Otago's defeat at cricket and shooting to the want of encour agement to athletic sports. It says all the evils of a dense population are growing up here, loose habits, bad draining, low tempta tions being acquired without any ameliora ting circumstances. Adulterated Drink. Several charges of selling adulterated drink against well-known publicans will be brought before the Resident Magistrate on Thursday. It is said that samples of whiskey recently sold in Dunedin were handed to Professor Black for analysis, and he reports the presence of sulphate zinc and copper in marked quantities in some.

PORT CHALMERS.

(From our own Correspondent.) ' This day. Fall over a Cliff. A fisherman named John Mell fell over a high cliff at Portobello on Saturday night and became unconscious. fie was nearly downed by the flow of the tide, but managed crawl above high-water mark. He was next morning by Vis mates much °.sed, and hip * " . —^s^fcired. He was ■* *° Sydney B6ne*r^f *f... , /fiest Local Grop^'* j u^'m.,. t?— %j>>^^rV Church, Port Chal a<f/-i SSJay, upon the infidelity

of the age. He commented severely upon the- fact «f learned men of science and subtle intellects being influenced by new fangled theories, and drew comparisons between the herisies of the present day and those with which the apostle Paul had to contend. The discourse was singularly one sided.

The Colonial Firing. The result of the prize firing has caused much surprise here, Wilson Mas thought sure of the belt.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.)

This day.

The Cabby's Row. A railway servants' Benefit Society has been formed here.

A deputation of cabmen waited on the City Council last night with the altered scale of fares they were willing to adopt, but the Council refused to entertain, or treat with the cabmen while in a state of rebellion. They promised, however, that if the cabmen, after a fair trial, found the scale of fares previously adopted by the Council to be un remunerative, the Council would gladly hear any complaint, and be prepared to meet them in a fair and liberal spirit.

The cabmen afterwards held a meeting, and several were in favor of accepting these terms, but the majority decided to do noth ing until they consulted their legal adviser. The question of forming a cab company to work under the City Council scale fares is being discussed, and is likely to receive a large amount of support.

THE REGATTA CLUB.

Last evening the prizes were paid to the successful competitors at the late regatta, at the Club Room, Thames Hotel. The pro ceedings were presided over by Mr Yon der Heyde, Chairman of the Regatta Committee, who made some opening remarks appro priate to the occasion, in particular eulogi sing the crew of the Hit or Miss, in going to the assistance of the shipwrecked crew of the yacht Lizard. As to the start for the gig race, which was spoken of so strongly by the Herald, he did not think it was deserv ing of the censure. (Our opinion on this point is, that the start was a good one, as starts in a tideway go. The Auckland crew had the best of it by as nearly as possible half a length, which they increased so rapidly that to anyone who did not take particular notice it seemed much greater.) A. member of the Nonpareil crew here came forward and expressed himself quite 'satisfied with the start. The following are the names of the winners :—lst race : Peerless. 2nd race : Ist prize, Mystery ; 2nd prize, Bismarck; 3rd prize, Challenge ; 4th prize, Alpha. 3rd race : Ist prize, Sovereign of the Seas. 4th race : Ist prize. Young Colonial. sfch race : Ist prize, Undine ; 2nd prize, Petrel; 3rd prize, Heather Bell; 4th prize, Katherina Borradale. 7th race : Ist prize, Hit or Miss. Bth race : Ist prize, Wonder. 9th race : Ist prize, Brothers ; 2nd prize, Pembroke ; 3rd prize, America. 10th : Ist prize, Glenlora. 12th race : Ist prize, Hit or Miss ; 2nd prize, Star ; 3rd prize, Petarl. It will be seen that the protests entered were nearly all over ruled. A great "barney" took place over the issue of the larger yacht race. Failing any possibility of agreeing otherwise, all the members who were interested retired, and the rest settled that the race should be sailed again on Saturday at noon over the original, course. The decision is very hard lines on the owners of the Secret, whose yacht certainly merits the prize, supposing the Daphne the same sized boat, but as a member of the committee with whom the blame rests, Mr Niccol will no doubt accept his dissappointment with resignation. With a good breeze on Satur day, we have little doubt that the Secret will repeat her victory, and in a more decisive manner. We should mention that the owner of the Sabrina refused to take the second prize in the medium yacht race, stating that in the effort made to get to the crew of the Lizard, one of the buoys was not rounded.
