T. Wren, of Mount Hobson Nursery, on the 28th inst. Tlie prisoner pleaded guilty ; but said tho'things were merely rubbish, and of no value.

RED QUEEN

Breaking down going on and looks well. _01bs picked stone were obtained yesterday. making 401bs in all. About 25 tons quattz in hand. Will be crushed next wee]., and promises a fair yield. Piako. —The return is 40ozs retorted gold for the fortnight. OHINEMURI MINE REPORTS. Welcome. —The new manager's fust re port is very favourable. He commences to crush next w-eek. No 4 lode has-jeendriven on, and looks very promising. Young New Zealand.—The Manager's first report is also encouraging. He iiopes to cut the reef in a fortnight. The main line and hopper are to be complete in a fortnight. MOANATAIRI AND ALEURNIA. The Moanatairi retorts to-day, and ex pects 900 ounces. The Alburuia is looking well, but- there is no other change. MOANATAIRI. A little stone was taken from the reef in the face of the main tunnel this morning, but no gold visible, although it is believed by the manager that before the reef is cut through some of the precious metal will be seen. The drive west in the SO feet level has been suspended for a day or two. PIAKO. The yield for the past three weeks was 746 ozs, including the return lodged to-day. This is very satisfactory, and superior to the ;last crushing. If the main winze continues to tarn out as good stuff as it is now producing, the next crushing will be splendcd. Judd and Co. are hard at work making new plunger, which, when completed, will ease the strains on the pumps. KARANGAHAKE, OHINEMURI. Coutts and party, who have taken this mine and battery "on tribute, crushed a large tonnage for a yield of sozs. lOdwts. Tliis'yield is not payable.!; _ Hole and party are working a section of the Moanatairi mine on tribute, and crushed 20 ton.-- and 75 pounds of specimens, from which they realised 111 ozs lidwts. Craig and party, tribnters in Hape Creek mine obtained sozs Sdwts. CALEDONIAN' Some nice looking stone was broken out from No. b' lode to-day. CURE. The winze on No. 7 leader is down 22 feet, and is of good size. The Manager estimates that the stud" crushed from here will yield an ounce to the ton. When the winze is down twice this depth the opening out and breaking out will be commenced. The lode iii one part is being worked in the Waiotahi Company's ground, and as the latter will soon break into the Cure work ing it is likely that a portion of the stuff from number 7 leader will be wound up. The Waiotahi shaft, which will be more convenient and less expensive than if it was wound up via the Caledonian, will be attached. MOANATAIRI. The Moanatairi return for the fortnight is S6O ozs retorted. Five hundred tons and about 5 cw. of specimens avere reduced. SHAREMARKET.

SHIP-OWNERS' ASSOCIATION.

(Tolhc Editor of the STAR!. ! Sib,—Your correspondent, "Shipwright,'in your issue of tho 26th, is greatly exercised over a meeting held at the Thames Hotel last week for themirpose of forming- a Ship-owners and Ship builders' Association. His twaddle In reference to Mr Bitrelow I v. ill pass over as not m any way affecting myself, and go direct to the point, at iss'i" as far _s lam concerned. Shipwright says"* hat I know well that I pay less wages here than anywhere else in the colonies. I know nothta'-- of the kind. May I ask " Shipwright • .ow many of the men are worth the pay they receive or eren honestly try to earn it. I ven ture to say cert airly not the half of them. There pre some very good men among them; men whom I respect as honest, and honourable men. __t the same time I will say that a great number of them are no mechanics, they cannot do a goodiob for the life o_ them. Nor will they endeavour to do an honest day's work, if they can possibly manage to skulk th»ir time aw*.y. I have not the least objection to shipwright's saying w_at .their wages shall be ; they have a nevfeet right to fret all they can, but so have l a right to say thai"! will net giv. that wage in discriminately to good and ba_ alike. Some of the shipwrights arc well worth all they ask; others belonging to the Union are dear at any price. Your correspondent illu-trates as to what I would think if a customer was to say 1 cannot afford to give such a price for your good.. Customers have the habit of saying such un pleasant thing!, continually, and it is generally the best customer-that say so, men that pay their way, and have nc wish to go beyond what they can afford to pay. If it does not suit me to .ell at their price, they caa go without, or can go elsewhere, and perhaps get suited better. If ship chandlers were to club together, and say our prices arc so and so for superior and inferior goods alike, the public, or their customers, would say, "They are a set of lunatics: we will not patronise them, we will send to Sydney. Melbourne, or London for what we ree.uire, and let them keep their wares." The union rules are most absurd ; they class all men alike, good and inferior, no grades. What would "Ship wright" say if he were to go into a shop and ask for an axe, or an adze: the shopman would shew him several, some of superior quality, and some very common and inferior. The buyer would ask the price, and. to his astonishment, would be told that, they are all the same price. He would naturally come to the conclusion that the shopman was a fool, or must take him for one. Why some of those articles are worth twice as much as the others. Such is exactly the case with the shipwrights of Auckland. Some are worth twice as much as others, and the good men have to carry the botches on their back (ngu-atively speaking). The last remark attributed to me I did not make use of in tho sense taken by your correspondent, as applying to the shipwrights in particular, but to men in general. However, if the cup fits, they are ■welcome to wear it for anything I care. I wish "Shipwright" to understand that I have no feeliw. whatever against the shipwrights of Auckland; at the same time, if attacked, I will endeavour to pay them back in their own coin with interest. I would suggest the. if any more of the shipwrights or the society have any random shots to fire at me, that they will como out of their cover, bein^ a more maniy course, aud sign their names to their productions.—l am, etc,—D. 11. McKknzie.
