WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.)

This day. Great preparations made by Government party to make meeting at *:he Hntt victory for abolitionists, and official influences haicl at woik. Numbers brought from town and other places, and it is said free passages were provided by train. Considered to be great point if Fitz could be outflanked, si. claqnmr3 and torches made ready ; and con fidtntly believed that more brought from other places than total number -who voted for abolition. The chairman who acted as a strong partisan declared the resolution in favour of immediate Aboli tion carried by majority of twelve, while others who counted, sboutly assert that the majority of hands was in favour of referring to country. Chairman's ruling caused grea* excitement and dissatisfaction. He abruptly closed the meeting so as to prevent recount ing. The Opposition claim the victory. The torches already prepared were lighted and Ministerial party walked back to station in procession. Great amusement caused by fiasco in which Government preparatiorp ended. Have seen a formal protest which will appear in to-night's Post against declara tion of chairman and asserting that the re solution against Abolition ought to have beci. declared carried instead of the amendment in favour of it.

CALEDONIAN GOLD MINING COM PANY (LIMITED).

The first ordinary meeting, endirjg July 31, of the above company was held this afternoon in Mr Totbill's offices, Shortland-street, for general business, Mr C. J. Stone in the chair. The secretary read the first re port, the miiie manager's report, and balance sheet. The Directors report stated : The present company was formed for the purpose of acqniiiug the property, and carrying on the mining operations, of the Caledonian Gold Mining Company, Registered, in accordance with the lesolutions passed at a meetms ot 'hat Company held on November 11, 1874; with a capital of £40,040 in 2 860 shares of £12 each, fully paid up, and 2,860 shares of £2 each, on wnich£2perbharemi^ht be called up. In terms of the resolutions, each Shareholder in th« old Company has been invited to take up one piid-up and one non paid-up share for each share held by him in the old Com pany. Applications for 2,749 paid-up shares aiid for 2727 non paid-up shares have been received, and ihe shares allotted accordingly, leaving 111 paid up and 116 non paid-up unapplied for, and 17 declined. The balance-sheet and the mine manager's report, both annexed, will inform share holders of the financial position of the Com pany, and of the operations at, and of the state of, the mine. The present directors of the Company, Messrs C. J. Stone, J. L Campbell, A. Wardtop, Warwick Weston, and T. > ussell, at this, the first meeting of shareholders, all retire, but being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. An auditor for the ensuing year should also noar be appointed.—C. J. Stone, Chairman." The manager reported that since the form ation of the present Company to July 31 ulfc., 286 tona quartz have been crushed, with a yield of 804 ozs. 10 dwtp.; and for the year ended the same date, 783 tons quartz were crushed with a yield of 1049 ozs. 17 dwts. The greater portion of this gold has been raised from unall leaders aajacent to the position occupied by the main run of gold in No. 1 reef. All the ground in this particular part of the mine has been well worked, and unless tiibuters can be induced to make further explorations, I do not think it will pay the company for further working. After refening to the iterations in other sections of the mine, which have not been very success ful, the iepurt says:—"The Cure No. 5 reef having been traced up to this Company's boundary, and showing a body of 'stone four fcec thick, in which gold is frequently seen, operations have been commenced for the } iurpose of opening up this line of reef in the i lost expeditious manner. A main drive has been (started this day, and the first hole blasted in the reef shewed a little gold. We are also putting up a rise from the No. 2 level, and some 120 feet ahead of the face of the drive as described above. This will in some measure prove ihe ground between the two levels, and afford means of getting our quartz to the shaft by a much shorter route ihan through the Cure workings, besides relieving the latter Company from any in convenience we might tause them through carrying en operations through ther levels, .vc. At present it is impossible to determine whether the reef being driven on is the same as that being risen on. However, they mnst from their relative positions, be almost, if not altogether, identical. Our future pros pects must in a great measure depend on the success attending our operations on the Cure reef, and in discovering payable reefs to the =ast of the engine thaft at the 400 feet and • ietper levels. All the known reefß to the eastward dip towards this company's ground, >md all operations at deeper levels must be directed in this direcdon.
