GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day, The Caledonian snd Cure.

The Caledonian had \a. fine parcel of 501bs specimens to-day, and will probably have as much to-night quite aa good as those of yesterday. The Cure has a nice show to-day in No. 4 teef. Little has been broken down, but rich gold is showing. The Golden Calf resume crushing at the Tramway Battery to-morrow, and have a good parcel to hand apparently profitable stuff. The cross-cut to the Otago is not yet completed. The Nonpareil has got into better class country in cross-cut, and expects to reach the reef in 20 feet driving. Singular Accident. A tailor named Mumford was cutting a piece of zinc to-day, when a 'corner piece flew up and struck and cut through his eye ball. The sight is irretrievably destroyed. In view of the turn events political have taken, no further meeting will be held at the Thames unless Mr Rees wants particularly to air his eloquence. Sharemarket.

COROMANDEL.

(From our own Correspondent. Tuesday night. Union Beach Specimens. I visited the Union Beach mine this after noon, and there I saw Mr Hanney, the mine manager, with 119ibs. of specimens, which had that minute come out of the mine. The specimens were weighed in my presence: They are quite as rich, to all appearance, as the last lot, which I also saw drawn up. Mr Hanney says they will give two and a-half ounces of gold to the pound, as in the last lot. The Union Beach is quoted at 80a with no seller at this figure. Tokatea firm at 14s j no seller here at the figure.

It is proposed that we should have a tri weekly steamer, and some effort will be made to procure this.

The "Mail" in New Hands. The Coromandel Mail came out this morn ing under the new proprietor " Snyder." It has sent them into convulsions. They were bought up in twenties and thirties to be sent away. It is full .of i olid matter as well as fun.

OPOTIKI.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day.

The Ferry Capsized., A nearly-fatal accident occuried at Ohiwa on Sunday to a gentleman crossing the Ohiwa ferry, on the main road to Tauranga. The gentleman in question embarked in a frail canoe which is used there by the Government ferryman instead of a good strong boat. The miserable conveyance was overturned by the horse leaping over it, and the unfortunate traveller had to make the best of his way to snore, encumbered with a heavy coat, top boots, &c, which he at last reached, after greet difficulty, in an almost exhausted con dition. Accidents of this kind have occurred before, and great indignation in felt by the Bettlers that the Ohiwa ferryman is not obliged to employ a boat instead of risking lives daily in a cofßn of a canoe.

TAURANGA.

[Per Press Telegram Agency.] This day. The Pretty Jane with the remaining portion of the Kati Kati settlers arrived yesterday afternoon. On her arrival a most enthusiastic reception was given by the residents. A committee headed by Captain Morris, M.P.C., presented an address of welcome to Mr. Vesey Stewart and party, the native chiefs assisting. A most cordial feeling has already been established between the new arrivals and the residents.

It is now admitted that during the former trip the Taupo struck ground lieavily with her keel when nearing Nelson harbour, and, it is thought, that the fracture then resulted.

ACCIDENT ON THE WHARF.

Head-foremost into the Mud.

A little child named Howcien was standing on the solid portion of the Queen-street wharf, opposite Messrs Walker's gum store this morning, watching his brother gathering wood on the foreshore, when he lost his bal ance and fell off the wall, a depth of 12 feet, on to the beach. By good luck the youngster was pitched into a soft patch of mud about 2ft. deep, His kicking legs were spied by a passenger who promptly went to the rescus and drew him out com pletely blinded with mud and desperately frightened. He was attended to by Mrs Edwards at the Waitemata Hotel, who put a clean face on him by a little motherly friction and some soap and water, and sent him home little the worse for his accident.

TRIAL TRIP OF THE MINNIE CASEY.

The trial trip of Captain Casey's new screw steamer, the Minnie Casey took place to-day. Steam was got up and the boat left at 12 o'clock for the Hot Springs, taking on board a select party. The Star pigeons were among the passengers and no doubt will enable us to give some particulars of the trip. We understand that it is the intention of Captain Casey, if the machin ery works satisfactorily, to send the boat up to Mahurangi to-morrow instead of the Lady Bowen. We have already given a full description of the Minnie Casey. It only remains to state that she has been handsomely finished, outside and inside, and her cabins decorated very neatly. She will make an exceedingly useful boat.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

The performance of Robertson's fine comedy of " School" at the Prince of Wales last night drew together a numerous audience in sptte of the unfavourable weather. In the advertisements of the piece it had been an nounced that Miss Lizzie Morgan would make her first appearance, and as rumour had been busy in regard to the merits of the young, lady as an actress, public expectation was roused. We are pleased to say that it was not disappointed. Miss Morgan made a most favorable impression which, we have little doubt, will be con firmed into strong favoritism. She possesses a pleasing exterior, a happy manner and in addition plenty of talent and originality. Another advantage she possesses is an ex cellent voice which she displayed to good effect last night in a song called " Silver Threads among the Golden." Miss Morgan depicted the interesting perse cuted but ultimately fortunate school girl Bella in a charming manner, and was honored with a special call before the curtain. Miss Carrie George played the, saucy light-hearted Naomi Tighe in a Btyle which left little to be desired. That this lady shonld be so successful in characters of i such an opposite type as Leah and Naomi Tighe, speaks volumes for the versatility of

her genius. Miss George's acting called forth loud applause, and she was also honored with a call. Miss Patty Holt as Laura, and Miss Lizzie Busche as Milly, acted the parts of the other school girls naturally and well. Jack Poyntz in the hands of Mr Lawrence, was individualised after the true Robertson ian intention. Mr Collier personified Lord Beaufoy most effectively. As Beau Farin tosh Mr Chas. Searle appeared -to good advantage, imparting to the character all the required humour and eccentricity, and yet preserving the gentleman. Mrs Chas. Searle played Mrs Sutcliffe in a finished manner. Sam Poole's Krux took immensely well with the audience, and was a performance of no slight merit. The play was a great success, and will well bear another representation. To-night " Pygmalion and Galatea" is to be produced for the first time in Auckland. This singular production had an immense run in London, and is to be specially mounted.

Message from the Manaia.

— (o) — RACE WITH THE MINNIE CASEY.

A PRISONER ABOARD

Casey's new steamer waited for us, and we started nearly together off the man-o'-war ground, the Manaia setting jib and foresail with, a fine breeze from S.W.

When passing Brown's Island, Casey's boat was fully one mile ahead, steaming splendidly. h\ie would do the passage easily in 4 hours to Coromandel. Casey's boat has no canvass seb.

The boat is now off Waiheke, doing well. f Constable Brennan is on board the Mania with prisoner Smith, arrested at the Thames on a charge of giving cheques, having no account at the bauk. He will be brought up at Coromandel to morrow. He had recently gone to Coromandel advertising to advance money on freehold property. Uncles and others, thinking him an honest man, accepted his cheques, which were not met. He will be brought up on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences. He is only recently from Mount Kden, having done two years for a similar offence.

SCHOONER DAYSPRIEG

[PER OTAGO.]

MELBOURNE.

Wednesday, September 8

Parliament assembled yesterday for the first time with the new Ministry and Chief Secretary who volunteered a statement, Ist, reference to the pa-.t and then as to future Government: they co not intend to introduce any extensive measures this session, but content themselves with a few bills, reserving until next session the vexed question of constitutional reform. The Mining on Private Property Bill wil be the first introduced, then amending the Land Bill to prevent dummyism and raise assessment on stock. Also a short bill to prevent frauds ia passing entries at the Customs by undervaluing, and making the punishment; imprisonment instead of a ffne. There is a defect in the revenue something consideiab y ever £200,000, and this is to be met in the first place by a land tax beginning with the large estates and going gradually down The Government propose a loan for complet ing railways, waterworks, and school build ing. The London market is said to be favouiable just now for Boating a loan, and! other financial a rangements will be introduced on Thursday next, when the budget speech is to be made. How far the Government will have the opportunity of carrying out this policy remains to be seen. A caucus meeting of the Opposition was held yesterday, at which twenty-two members were present; but although many matters were discussed, nothing was decided as yet.

The Government have been unable to find a representative in the Upper House. At best they are but a scratch lot, but it is thought they will be allowed to carry on until they come to propose some extensive legislation. The only business done last night was the passing of a supply bill for £700,000. The Exhibition was opened on Thursday last, September 2. All the colonies were represented excepting New Zealand and Queensland. The exhibits are very numer ous, and occupy a large amount of space. There are separate departments for Japan and Singapore, the Northern Territory, Tas mania, and South Anstralia. The whole collec tion shows the industrial and manufacturing progress of the colony. Over 5000 season tickets have been sold, and the daily atten dance up to the present has been an average of nearly 4000. The machinery court is a great feature in the Exhibition. The steamship Whampa made the passage from London in 46 days. She brought a detachment of Royal Engineers for Fiji. A woman named Selburn was burned to death in a hut in Gippsland during a drunken orgie with spme men who were also much injured. Unusually heavy rains and melting snows caused floods in various parts of the country. Caga, a Chinaman, was executed in Mel bourne gaol for mulier. Stephens' lifeboat, which set out on a voyage to Sydney, only round Wilsou'd Promontory in a month, then returned by steamer.

The cable between Batavia and Singapore has been interrupted for the last ten days, Judge Dunne, whose case caused a good deal of scandal some time past, has resigned, and thus obviated the necessity for the ap pointment of a board.

Richard Whycress Sawers, receiving teller in the Bank of Victoria, has been arrested for embezzling £1,400. 'Jhe deficiency was brought to light in the search for the missing notes stolen from the exchange clerks, and not yet recovered, although a large reward is offered and promises of free pardon to all but actual accomplices. SYDNEY.
