The Government has intimated its willing ness to join Tasmania in the erecting of a second light on KiDg s Island. .New South Wales is also favourable.

She brought a number of officers, and a hundred seamen for the Bquadron. Several men deserted here. The United States sloop Swatara has sailed direct for New York.

The Volunteer embroglio has resulted in the Government remitting the censure passed on Sergeant Empson, for breaches of discipline. The Government intend appoint ing a commission to inquire into the whole state of the Volunteer force.

Nothing has yet been decided by the Ex ecutive with reference to Husler. The Banks have raised the rate of interest on six months' deposit to 6 per cent., and three months to 5 per cent. A sharp shock of earthquake was felt on the north-eastern portion of the colony early on the morning of the 2nd. It was distinctly felt in several localities.

GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our own correspondent.) This day. The Mismanagemement of Ohinemuri. The Advertiser this morning saj s the man agement of the new field has been a failure, and the sooner they hand it over to the pro vincial authorities the better. It thinks that Dr. Pollen desires to wash his hands of the whole affair at the earliest possible moment. The Test of Ohinemuri Stone.

Testing of Ohinemuri stone caused much amusement, and statements are so conflict ing that the public cannot arrive at a correct conclusion 11. F. Horton, assayer of the National Bank, tested another piece of stone yesterday, which he estimates to go twenty ounces to the ton. He got a very nice bead of gold out of a small piece of stone, but the bank tests and battery tests never agree.

Thames Shareholders in Grief. It is not exactly glad tidings of great joy ■which reaches Wellington in the Thames Gold Mining Company. A gentle imperial call of a pound per share has just been made, and as about a dozen people here are very laige shareholders, they will feel a twinge in what Domett called the Briton's nervous centre. About two thousand pounds will have to be sent up in response to the call.

The Hon. Mr- Hastings and Mr. Fox A very affectionate gieeting took place yesterday baween the Hon. Mr. Fox and the Hon. Mr. Hastings, the great Good Templar gun. They shook hands almost to a point of dislocation. F. was awfully dis gnsted at seeing a new storey being added to an old public-house.

Betting Decision. As a hint to your boating men, it ought to be known that bets go with stakes. So says the editor of the Australasian in settling a dispute between the Dolly VaTden and Stella. One of Dolly's crew did not roll up, and they declined to pall in consequence, and paid the stakes agreeably, but held that the bets were drawn. The editor cays the interests of bets are inseparable from the interests of stakes—in other words, bets go with stakes. The backers of the Stella win. The Wellington Boat Club are considerably surprised at the decision.

LETTER FROM A SURVIVOR FROM THE COSPATRICK.

We are indebted to our London correspon dent "Greenstone" for the following letter received from Edward Cotter, the young New- Zealand sailor who was one of the three saved by the British Sceptre. It may not add much to the account given in greater detail, but it gives in simple graphic languoge an idea of the rapidity with which the ship was enveloped in flames. The letter itself is invested with a sad interest as coming from the hand of one who passed through such an ordeal, and saw the ill-fated ship in her ex tremities, with her living burthen of honor and despair. It may be seen at our office. "|4, Mall Cottages, Silver-street, Kensington, January the (Jbh 1875. "Dear sir,—you asked me in your letter how was ifc the lire gained so rapidly aft. When we were turned out of our bunks the smoke and flames were going straight up in the air, but now and again a puff of wind would come and blow the flames aft in our faces, then it would blow forward again, then all the head sail got burned and all the foremast in flames, and while the foremast was burning there was a light wind came, which drove the smoke and flames aft, and setting fire to all the houses along the deck, and a'ship cannot be very well got before the wind with ail her head sail and foremast burned, and the least breath of wind will drive the flames affc, and every thing on deck being of wood ib soon burned quiukly, and the bunks on the tvveen decks so tender the fire spn ad aloug the deck like lightining.—l remain yours truly, Ed ward Goiter.
