LATEST THAMES NEWS.

GPcAHAMSTOWN. (From onr own Correspondent.)

This day. The Opening of Ohinemuii.—Pros pectors Forbidden. The Advertiser this morning says :—" We do not wish to show any undue impatience about Ohinemuri, but the return of Sir Donald McLean to the Thames is now anxiously looked for, and the natives them selves are getting impatient for the final settlement of the business. If the settlement of matters be put off until the return of Sir Donald'McLean from the North, the Ohine muri country will certainly not ba opened before March or April next." The following is a copy of the notice which has been issued-.—"Notice.—All persons are hereby cautioned against prospecting in the Ohinemuri district, or doing any act which would be likely in any way to complicate negotiations for the opening of the country for gold mining purposes. The sections of Gold Mining .Districts Act 1871, hereunder quoted, show the only legal manner in which prospecting can be carried on in such districts as Ohinemuri. By com mand, E. W. Puckey, Native agent." Sec tions 184 and 185 are quoted.

The difficulty was settled by Jjeydon throwing Brown under the table twice, to the serious detriment of his coun tenance. This morning Brown went to Leydon's house, and struck at him, dama ging candles and other goods in the store. Leydon parried the blow, and struck back, and held Brown till the police arrived, when he gafre him in charge. Brown appeared with a bruised countenance to-day, charged with assault on Leydon and wife,. The case-' was adjourned till Tuesday. Brown was admitted to bail on his own recognizances of £50.

CHRISTCHURCH.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day.

Mr Joseph Beswick addressed the electors of Kaispoi district yesterday. He said it would be better to endeavour to improve Provincial Institutions rather than abolish them, as the provinces would be more economically and efficiently governed from their own centres than from Wellington. A vote of thanks was recorded to him for his address. The nomination is fixed for the 16th January, and the polling for January 22nd.

"CIGARETTE."

The lively and mirth-exciting drama of "Cigarette," adapted from a French romance, was gratefully received last even ing at the Prince of Wales Theatre by a lull house. The piece was admirably illustrated by scenes and associations of mnch merit by Mr Kemp, and which were very effective in giving colour and life to the whole perform ance. The drama itself has many points of interest and many sparkling situations. Miss Stone, in the character of the erratic Cigarette, was attractive, and the parts in which she was most successful were in the Arab boy and in the combat, which was a very clever performance. . Her pretty song, with drum accompaniment, and her fine cornet solo were much applauded, as they deserved to be. Mr Collier represented Ben Hamet, Mr Stone Khalifa, and Mr Holloway Cecil; the subordinate characters were also well sustained, and the drama, as a whole, was eminently successful. It will be pre sented again to-night, and those persons who love an hour's pleasant recreation and amuse ment will be satisfied with " Cigarette."

The barque Camilla, with a cargo of coal on board, besides a lot of general stuff, has now been three weeks lying in the stream, unable to get alongside the wharf, or get rid of her cargo into a hulk or otherwise. The Governor's Ball. Owing to the ball last night not being nearly bo crowded as anticipated, there was more promenade and dancing room, and the general enjoyment was therefore greatly enhanced. Lady Normanby danced little, but enough to say she played her part in the evening's diversion. It appears that Mr Bates had such a dread of having all hia stage paraphernalia disarranged and put on one side for the ball, that he offered the Ball Committee £35 to go elsewhere ; but there was no other suitable building, thanks to Mr Speaker Bell.

It was to the interest of the South to see the North settle, because the additional population which they got there took so much more from the amount that the South Island would have to contribute towards interest and sinking funds on the debt of the colony, viz , twenty millions.
