Accident in Fort-Street.

Mb Dfmtsey, the contractor for the forma tion of Fort-street, is now engaged laying Ifie drains near ihe junction with Custom- Jioufestrfet and Breakwater Road, and, ac ■the ground is very hard ahere, he has heeu fclasVicg. The explosion of each charpe is msoally followed by a shower of heavy boul ders and one of these this morning stmck a pasaer-by named Eaplesou, who was standing thirty yards off, snd knocked him down. Fortunately the blow fell upon the fleshy part of the thiph, for had it struck the man on the head, serirus if not fatal consequences ■would have ensued. Dr Renderdine was at once sent for, and upon examining the injury found Ih3t it was confined to a severe bnvipe. Mr PfDirsfy rnny, hovever, congratulate himself upon tbe food fortune that prevented a much more perious eccnrrf nee being laid to his charge. The City Council was remarkably active in taking proceedings against Mr Dfrxipsey for blasting when engaged on a Harbour Board contract. We should like to know whether any measures have been taken to secure the public from it;jury in connec tion with this tender let by the Corporation,

COROMANDEL.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day,

Union Beach : 132 pounds of rich stone are to band for five working days. Gold is still seen in all parts of the mine. The Tobatea low level is in a heavy country, and slow progress is making. Beenan's claim has 70 pounds of fair speci mens obtained from this mine.

Some very superior stone is coming from the Tihi district, which promises well.

High Prices for Hotels

The brewers still go it bald headed for public houses, giving the most extraordinary high prices for even leases that have not very long to run. It is true that they generally clap on such a rent upon their tenants that whoever loses the brewer will not. Many of these houses are being taken by people of straitened circumstances and in cxperiance, and the result is that the tone of houses is deteriorating. There is an equal rage for building new hotels, one monster is being talked of, and indeed the plans are prepared, but there is an under current of hostility being worked that will not let the scheme be matured. Shrewd observers of the times predict a reaction that will create sorr.ething like a general collapse and end in a v,ery serious loss, to brewers in particular. Rise in Carpenter's Wages.

The carpenters are again master of the situation, and are demanding that their wages be raised from 11s to 12s per diem, and that too for indoor work. The masters gave in in most cases, for good carpenters are not to be obtained in superabundance, and the jobs in band cannot be allowed to remain idle.

Scheme for New Suburbs.

A rather grand though, still shadowy idea is being discussed just now. It is to tumble the hills on one side of the Hutt road into the sea on the other side of the railway, and sell the land so reclaimed for villa sites and township along the whole line of railway as far as Petoni. Opinion differs greatly as to tbe merits of the

scheme,

Gas, Tramway, and Public Hall

There was some talk of starting a new Gas Company, but the project has fallen through. It is expected that operations in connec tion with the city tramway will be com menced shortly. The Pnblic Hall Company are calling for tenders for a number of u**iloted 303 shares, the minimum tender to b\ 40s, and they will get that amount for therh. Alleged Contract Scamping. No more has yet been heard of the alleged " scamping" in connection with the Thorndon reclamation. So far as inquiries have been prosecuted, they go to shew that the contractor has performed Ma work satisfactorily.

Newspaper Fpecluations- The Post is rapidly increasing its circula tion, and the Times is improving its position, and shareholders have ceased to feel any un eaainess as to the ultimate fall of the concern. The war of bill-boards has apparently ended, the Post having carried the day.

Harbour Works.

Mr Weber, Provincial Engineer, was ap pointed by the Harbour Board to-day, by a majority of one, engineer to the Board. The public are much dissatisfied at the result. A few members were absent who voted against the motion. One member states privately that he gave his vote as Weber is an old public servant, and as money was to be thrown into the sea through Mr Carruthers, plan being adopted, Mr Weber might as well have the direction of it as anybody else, and would likely get rid of it quicker. Sale of Maori Land. The natives who proceeded lately to Wellington to interview the Native Minister returned greatly disgusted. No one was there to act in Sir Donald McLean's absence. They wished to dispose of valuable blocks of agricultural country. They state that unless tbe Government take off the restric tion to sell to private individuals, they will not dispose in future of one acre to the Government. A league is in course of for mation with that object.

WELLINGTON.

[Per Press Telegram Agency.] Tuesday. Brogden v. the Governmeiit. The Court of Appeal was occupied again today with the case of Brogden v. the Queen. Judgment is reserved. The case comes in the form of a demurrer to defend ant's pleas, in answer to a petition under the Crown Redress Act, 1871, preferred by John Brogden and Sons, to recover £2355, alleged to be due to supplicants under the Waitaki Moeraki railway contract. Brogden's con tention has been that the agreement made by Dr. Featherstone, under which they contrac ted to send out immigrants is bad, inasmuch as the Governor had no power to delegate to Dr Featherstone the authority he used, and that therefore the Government cannot in re spect of the immigration contracts, detain moneys owing to Brogden, on account of contracts for work.

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

EOYAL MARIONETTES,

The Royal Marionettes of Messrs Mcßonough and Warnshaw gave their opening; performances last even- Ing at the City Hull with great success. The fame of these dlstiii gnlshed representatives of melody, fun, and action had preceded them, or, in other words, the eomlng Marionettes " cast their shadowß before," and when, the heroes and heroines appeared,they fully

THE SUPERINTENDENT PROTESTS AGAINST THE COST OF THEIR JOURNEY.

The following letter, which explains itself, was to-day addressed by His Honor the Superin tendent to Messrs. Gisborne, Seed, and

Knowles: —

Superintendent's Office, Auckland, iothMay, 1876.

Gentlemen,— I understand from Mr. Wood, with whom you had an interview yesterday, upon the sub ject of your mission here, that you propose^ to obtain from the Provincial Auditor information upon the following points :— 1. The names of Provincial officers employed with statement of salaries, duties, &c. 2. Amounts expended on public works during the last Provincial financial year, and amount of unexpended balances at the

The information you thus desire is of a very simple and veiy ordinary nature, and would have been furnished with pleasure by me to the Honourable Colonial Secretary, if he had asked for it by letter in the usual way, as in formation upon the subject of tbe finances of the Province has been, supplied by me from time to time during the last few months, upon the request of Ministers to me to do so. I can not understand why it should be thought necessary to send three gentlemen, at great expense, from Wellington to obtain that which could have been had with much greater ease and rapidity by the ordinary course of post. I cannot refrain from expressing my opinion that so costly a proceeding is entirely unnecessary. 1 object to it as entailing serious expense upon the country, its proportion of which tins province must bear, at a time when the revenue-is fall ing lamely below the estimate of the late Colonial Treasurer, made in the last session of the Assembly, and when the people are threat ened by the present Colonial Treasurer with an income and property tax, in addition to all the other taxes they have to bear; and I pro test against it as substituting a cumbrous and expensive machinery in the place of the simple and well understood means of ordinary official communication with the Provincial authorities as constituted by law. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, G. Grey. Messrs. W. Gisborne, W. Seed, and J. Knowles.
