PARLIAMENTARY.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.)

WELLINGTON, this dayi

RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS'

REPORT. The report of the Railway Commissioners was handed iv on Saturday to tlie Govern ment, and will probably be laid on the table of tho House to-day.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday, at which it is understood that the report of a Royal Commission upon railways was under consideration. The meeting lasted until nearly six o'clock. It is stated that the railway report endorses the statements in the Civil Service report with regard to Mr Conyers' management. REPRESENTATION BILL. It is believed that Ministers will delay the Representation Bill until near the end of the session, with the object of dropping it. THE AGENT-GENERAL. When the vote for the Agent-General comes in tho Governmeht will introduce a bill empowering the re-inscription of further stock, and appointing three agents, the remuneration to be one-twelfth of One per cent. Opposition to tho bill is probable. Sir Edwatd Stafford, lis successor to Sii Julius Voucl, only receives nominal salary. Mr Render Wood has no chance. THE RAILWAY REPORT. Only three Ministers had seen the report of the Commissioners on railway matters yfesterdiiy, and the report has not yet come from the Governor with instructions to lay it on the tiible. It is doubtful whether it will be presented to the House to-day. THE PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT. Mr Oli.er will make the Public Works Statement about Friday, oi- at the latest on Tuesdity next. The final report of the West Coast Commissioner will be laid on the table this day or to-morrow. It recom mends the fulfilment of all promises made by previous Governments to Grey; and the settlement of the Waimntc Plains qilestiou on the basis recoilimentlcd by Mr Sheehan. THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE THAMES RAILWAY. It is understood that the Railway Com missioners' report condemns the continua tion of the Thames-Waikato line. My belief is, Ministers are not agreed on the adoption of the icport, which so seriously Affects existing pledges and may so disinte grate existing parties,

Meetings of Ratepayers.

FOOTBALL MATCH.

Auckland Versus Ponsonby

THIS match was played on Saturday and resulted in a victory for Ponsonby by six points to live. Ponsonby getting three tries, from neither of which a goal could be got, and Auckland getting one try, from which G. Carter kicked a goal. The play through out was very fast, and Coxton's try for Auckland was got after an excellent piece of dribbling, while for Ponsoaby, Whiteside £Ot two tries and played a very good game throughout; while Arneil got the third. Bindon and Cox played Tip well for Aucklaud as did Stewart for Ponsqnby. This player was one of the Wellington Team which went South last year, and beat Dunedin and Christ church, and he has rendered good service to the Ponsonby Club by his hard forward play in their last three matches, Pousonby has now beaten all the other Clubs, viz., Auckland, North Shore, and Grafton, twice each, and remains Premier Club for this season. J. S. Anderson's brilliant ruaa for the blue and black are a thing of the past, as he left for Shangai by tbe last 'Frisco Mail, and Martin being absent on Saturday, there was little or no running done.

Gkafton v. North Shore. The return match, Grafton v. North Shore, Was played on Saturday ;afternoou on the North Shore ground. North Shore were the favourites, but Grafton managed to secure a win, thus upsetting the calcula tions of the " knowing ones." Duiing the first three terms the game was very even, each side having several times to touch down in self-defence. In the last term, however, both teams seemed to play up with a will, till at last Grafton getting the ball close to the North Shore's goal line, a scrimmage was formed, and the ball coming ont, Hall, Grafton's three-quarter back, kicked a goal for his side. During the re mainder of the game North Shore played up with renewed vigour, McGechie nearly scoring a try, but was admirably tackled by A. Beale within a foot or two of Grafton's goal line. Scrimmage after scrimmage was then formed, till U. Burgess got a well earned by, who " punted out," and the ball being marked by Webster, the place kick was entrusted to McGechie, who failed to score. Soon after, "No side " was called, thus leaving the scores—Grafton 5 points, and North Shore 2 points. For Grafton : Orchard, Bealc, Ryan, White, Broadhurst, Biggs, Pearse, and Joughin. For North Shore : Burgess (2), McGechie, Sibbins (J. and T.), and Webster. Both teams played tip well for the respective clubs. Next Saturday the return match, New Zealand v. The World willbe*played on the Metropoli tan ground.

WHANGAROA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) On Friday evening la.«t, Captain Hughes, of the Mary Ann Anuison, gave a supper and ball on board his barque by invitation. About sixty sat down to supper, after which toasts and the usual complimentary speeches were given, and dancing kept up till day light. Captains McDermid, Owen, and Hurley gave a banquet and ball to the residents of Whangaroa on Tuesday night in the school house. The school was neatly decorated with flags belonging to the Linda Weber. Dancing commenced at 8 p.m., and was kept up till 6 o'clock in the morning. At 12 o'clock over 70 sat down to supper, and ample justice done to Ihe pood cheer pro vided by Mrs Usher, to whom the charge of providing tho refreshments, and this her first preformance in this line, re flects great credit. The tables were pre sided over by Captains Hurly, McDermid, Hughes, and Mr A. P. Batcliffe. During the preparations for supper, Miss and Captain Hughes favoured the guests with some duets, faithfully rendered, and in good voice. Mr H. Clark also sang " Don't Run Old England Down." Miss Stephenson and Miss Aubrey performed on the harmonium. Before the close a hearty vote of thanks to the Captains for the splendid manner they had piovided for their guests was given, and in reply Captain McDermid thanked the guests for their presence. No doubt many more would have been present, hut owing to heavy fain they were prevented. Mr Wigmore's youngest son, when playin". on Mr Christy's verandah last Friday, fell off the rail to tho ground, a height of 12 feet, and was severely injured. Mr Wigmore telegraphed for Dr, Trimble from Mongonui, aud by careful treatment the boy is now out of danger, and progress ing favourably.

When Henry Taylor wrote in his eminent work, "Philip Van Artevelde," that "the world knows nothing of its greatest men," ho meant to convey the idea that mankind were not pre informed of the rnaster-iniods that would leavo their " form and pressure" on tho times in which they live. Because great men naturally make themselves known. They stamp their glory and their genius on tho world. Many a sufferer would have reloiced, could it have been known antioipatively or prophetically, that Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps was in embr/o, before it was born tv tho world.

RESTED,

[BY TELEGI.APH.j

, , , . PUKEHINAU, this day. TWENTY-EiaiiT men oi the different tribes resident at Parihaka have already departed to suffer imprisonment for Te Whiti's sake. Of these nine are from Waikato and two have been recognised as belonging to Major Te Whero's tribes. Yesterday, two were taken from the fence close to Pungarhu camp, and two more were fencing at Tepa rapara. Being Sunday, no constables were at work in that direction, and consequently these natives remained un molested. After they had completed the fcuce, they sat down by their fire aud patiently awaited to be arrested Until even ing, when they went back to Parihlika, to return probably this morning. Your correspondent told these nativea that it was not customary to work on Suuday, and they upheld that view, and they replied that they knew no Sundaybut the day set apart by To Whiti, the 17t li of each month, which they tall the 18th. It is rumoured that Tc Whiti intends to send mcii for arrest and imprison ment until the tenth day from thefirst arrest has transpired. The telegraph from Opunnko to Stoiiy River is now complete, which throws a girdle of telegraph wire round Taranaki mouiitaiu.

THE MISSING CUTTER "THREE BROTHERS."

UNSUCCESSFUL SEARCII

Mr James Flair, brother of the captain and owner of the missing cutter Three Brothers, called at our oilifco this mornine; to state thitt during the past week he had been prosecuting a Careful search in the neighbourhood where the dingy of the Three Brothers was discovered. Mr Blair left Auckland id the Maty Hogan for Port Charles on Monday, and examined tho beach as for a. Matnmata Hcrakeko. Ho could, however, findilo sign ally where, and hit. returned to Auckland fully persuaded that the cutter either foundered or was ruu down. Before leaving on this excursion, Mr Blair paid a visit to the Glenelg, which was the only steamer in the neighbourhood of Port Charles on the night the accident is supposed to have occurred. No one on board, he discovered, had seen anything of the missing cutter.

The amount claimed was in respect of rent for premises in Victoria-street, occu pied by the defendant as a butcher's shop. It seemed however, that he held them under a Mrs Maude, who had obtained a lease of them, and therefore he declined to recognise the original owner, who lived in England. The evidence was heard last Court-day, and the learned counsel were now heard on some of the legal points which had been

A NEW BOILING CAULDRON AT TAUPO.

A TOWELLING coiresppndent in the Taupo district sends the " Bay of PJenty Times" an interesting,account of the discovery of a large geyser in the Taupo country. He says i—Passing the far-famed Huka Falls wc struck off to the left over some fern-clad hills till we came to a place which was so difficult to traverse thatwehad'to dismount and leave our horses. We footed it down a a steep bill towards a place where we saw a volume of steam arising. Breaking our way through very high fern and mannkawe soon stood upon the brink of an immense excava tion in the hill side out of which the steam Issued iv cloads, enveloping lis as in a log. Thoroughly daunted, one of our party said he had seen enough, .afad would go back and wait for us at the horses. After wasting all the eloquence we were possessed of ih a futile attempt to per suade him to go down, we descended without him. Here we found an enormous cauldron, where the boiling bubbles rose to the height of four or five feet. The incrußtationß of silica [aro mag nificent, a vnndykc formation bordering the edges of the pool, the water being very clear and of a deep blue. The formation is con tinued along the edges of the terraces, over which the water Hows from the pool into the creek belbw. Crossing the creek we found ourselves sinking over tho tops of our boots in hot ocllerous clay, which made it neces sary for us to keep constantly on the move. After much difficulty .'and many mira culous escapes we got to an azure pool, which looked charming from the other side, but in this instance distanco did inilebd lend cuchantmeut to the view, fbr on a close inspection we found tho water to be very muddy, and the surroundings were anything out pleasing—steam jots and mud springs, and a compound of the most villainous smells that oyer offended nostril. Seeing another great volume of steam rising iuterinittciitly'f urthcr ub the gorge wo made for it, and after much trouble to keep from getting scalded wc got to it, and found a hole about ten feet ih diameter where the water was hissing and bubbling eight feet below. Very soon wc were mukiui; good use of our legs—regardless ot the smaller springs round about us—in a frantic endeavour to scale an impossible cliff to escape from the greater danger that threatened, as, with a mighty roar, the boiling water in the hole rose high above the surface and dashed tho scalding spray twenty to twenty-five feet up against the cliff with great violence. It kept this up for about two minutes, when it subsided to rc-commcncc five minutes after. This is a true geyser. The incrustations are of a different order from the larger pool below. Haviug gazed our full we proceeded and on every side wo could hear the irregular thumping of the waters below as thcyforced their way to the surface. Here, too, is a structure so strange that no description would bo adequate to convey an idea of its appearance. Suffice it for me to say that it is composed of blanches nnd logs twisted into fantastic shapes aud firmly cemented together with tho doposit of silica. It is evidently a geyser, but only active at long intervals. A light steam was issuing from it, and wc could hear the water seething below, but wc were not fortuuate enough to witness an explosion. Truly these nre a wonderful collection of springs and well worthy of a visit, but I should not advise any persons of a Falstallian build to wander much about there, else, like that Shakes pearian worthy, they too might lard the lean earth. Returning to our Jconipanion wc gave a glowing account of the wondors we had Been, but he did not seem to mind it. Mounting our horses, we soon came to a hot creek, where wc had a delicious bath, and so brought to a close an enjoyable day. I may here remark- that, conversing with some natives after my visit to these springs, I learnt that in times gone bye they were greatly used by persons suffering from cutaneous diseases aud rheumatism, and tales of many wondrous cures being effected I listened to. The waters have not been analysed.

INDUSTRIAL HOME INQUIRY.

(Por favour Evening Star.)

To R. C. Bakstow, Esq.,—

Sib,—ln the evidence given in connection with the above inquiry, as reported iv the Star of Saturday, you stated that you and the members of the sub-committee appointed to consider Mrs Gavine's resignation re ported that Mrs Stickley evidoutly looked upon Mrs Gavinc as an enemy in tho camp, or a spy of tho Ladies' Committee ; also, that Mr and Mrs Stickley represented to tho sub-committee that they never under stood the position Mrs Gaviue hold as sempstress under tho ladies. More over, that the master and matron, knowing that the appointment was made at the instance aud nomination of the Ladies' Committee, who wore dissatisfied with the master, there could be no doubt she, Mrs Gavine, was treated with disfavour by them, aud it was natural for them to do so. "O temporal O mores 1" Sir, one naturally asks himself iv reading any such report, if it could be possible for a gentleman who holds the responsible position by virtue of which he has to award heavy punishments on those who naturally violate our laws, civil and social, could possibly, on the mere representations of the Stickleys', who took the low and mean ground of imputiug to Mrs Gavine tho degrading character of a spy, and worse thau even that, the inference that tho Ladies' Committee (all honour to their noble names and sex) were equally demoral ised, without hurling back tbo mean insinuation ou the ignoble heads of those who could so far forget their duty-to their fellow creatures, as to brand with pre meditated igooininy an individual they never personally knew. Again, when Mr Stickley came home be requested Mrs Gavine to perform duties not within the scope of her status, the duties being to bath young men. You might have given the public the benefit ot au opinion as to whether she was right in thus objecting ; but you are not re ported to have done to. Probably it was customary in the establishment as being natural. As to Mrs Gavine's appointment, I can only add that Col. Hauitain was the first, officially, to inform Mra Stickley that the sempstress, Mrs Gavine, had been engaged with his and the ladies' knowledge, aud would commence her duties when con venient to Mrs Stickley. I must confess that the deliberate insults heaped on the Ladies' Committee and on Mrs Gavinc on the grounds of being appointed chiefly by them, and on behalf of the Home, carries its own condemnation of those (the Stickley's), whose natural instincts induced them, by their discourteous manner, to compel .Mrs Gavine either to ignore the authority of the ladies, who possibly alone have the trne moral and spiritual welfare of the inmates at heart, or else submit to duties incompatible with the feel ings of any modest woman unless where necessity requires, which was not shown in evidence, or lastly to resign and loavo the Home, which was the mo3t desir able step to them and to myself, who ob jected from the beginning to the appoint ment, having lived in Auckland nearly twenty years, and therefore knowing the class of people required in such a place. Sir, in conclusion, tho whole evidence as yet published, conveys a pretty correct idea of the status " religio loci" aimed at by those who have the sacred duty to attend thereto. Sir, I have written the foregoing, feeling that Mrs Gavinc has been treated in a most discourteous manner by Mr Stickley, and also that in giving your evidence and with the knowledge of the same, you failed, us per report, to condemn such conduct, which seemed a tacit acquiescenso in the means they had employed to oust her from the Home. —I am, sir, yours most respect fully,—Thomas FORDYCE, Biother to Mrs Gaviue.

THE RECENT HORSE - WHIPPING CASE AT WELLINGTON.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Having had a long and varied experi ence as a " petitioner," I can quite sympa thise wfth the unfortunate man, Atkinson, who, finding apparently the utter hopeless ness of ever obtaining justice at the bands of the "Representatives of New Zealand in Parliament assembled," took the law into his own bauds and castigated the one ho considered chiefly to blame in the matter. 1 do not, of course, endorse his action, for that was unjustifiable, but no one but a petitioner can fully realise the state of mind a man is goaded into, who, with a perfectly fair and just claim, finds himself year after year iv a contiuually worse posi tion, until at last he arrives at the conclu sion that common English justice between man and man is not to be meted out to him, and not only that, but his persistency in urging his claim is treated with ridicule, and his sickening and maddening brain and heart-weariness becomes a never-ending fund of amusement to his torturers.

As a warning to petitioners, and to show how, io this colony, those dressed iv a little brief authority sometimes usurp to themselves the powers of an autocratic Czar or Sultan, permit me to narrate one or two incidents that have occurred to me in my role as a peti tioner; Briefly, my claim . against tho colony was for two years' salary and ex

! penses as Emigration Agent, and in addi tion to this there was a. sum of £147 6s Bd, which the Agent General allowed was ow ing to me, but which he declined to pay on trivial grounds. On my arrival in the colony, 1 put myself in correspondence with the Atkinson Government, the.i in power; 1 and they offered me £100 if I would give them a receipt in full. As my claim was for upwards of £1,500 I naturally declined. I then proceeded to Wellington and inter viewed the Under Secretary for Emigration; He went thoroughly into the matter, and assured me, after seeing my papers, etc., that the Department had been quite in the dark as to the real facts of the case. But after examinining my papers quite a differ ent colouring was given them, and he re commended me to see Major Atkinson before taking any further steps, and he had little doubt the matter would be gone into, aud settled to my satisfaction. I saw Major Atkinson when he became a*ware of my business, and he said; '* Oh, that mat ter is linally settled." I said, "how do you mean settled!" " Why," he said, " I B.ffcred you £100 and you woukVnt take it 0 now you won't net anything." " But," I, said, "surely if I can prove to you that I am entitled to what I claim, you will allow the matter at least to be in vestigated?" "No;" he said, "I would not." "I then put it to him more strongly. I said, " suppose I prove to you conclusively without a sliadow of a doubt that I am entitled to it, would you not rllow the matter to be inve .tigated ?" And he said again in a most offensive tone and manner, "No I; would not." Now, I would ask any one what is to be done in a case of this sort? When individuals are treated in this way it tends to create a breach of the peace; where communities arc treated in this way it leads to revolutions, and of one thing wc may bo perfectly sure, that is, as those in power treat single individuals, so if they dared when the occasion arose they would treat the whole community. I then petitioned the House, and was awarded the sumjof £139, being £8 Cs 8d less than tho amount tho Conimittco ac knowledged was correct. They declined to deal with the claim for thb two years' salary and expenses, but told mo to exhaust the law courts beforo appealing to thorn. An Act was then passed which precluded me from taking my case into Court. The following year tho Government was changed, and the Grey Ministry placed a sum of £500 on the estimates to meet tho claim. The voto came on in a thin House about 3 o'clock in the morning, and Major Atkinson aud his friends got it struck out. The year after £275 was actually voted, but when I went to receivo tho amount, i was requested to give a receipt in full, hav iug ut that time been three years and a half in Wellington fighting tho weary battle. 1 wub not in a position to refuse, so accepted the amount under protest. This year my petition was thrown out because I gave the receipt. To make the glaring in justice with which I have been treated more clear, I may state that I initiated aud car ried out the only successful special settle ment formed underJthe Immigration Act. I refer to Katikati. Now, all the other special settlements, such as, "Karamca," " Jackson's Bay," &c, aic not only signal failure?, but have cost the country upwards of £100,000. Katikati has cost nothing, and the settlers are satisfied and prosperous. Mr Broomhall, who only attempted to form a settlement, received a sum of £3,500, whilst I, for two years hard work as Emi gration Agent, during which time I had to keep an oilico, pay a clerk, aud travel about the couutry lccturing,&c, &c, and besides all this, plantiug the only successful special settlement, nm put off with a paltry £275. I may add the actual expenditure out of my own pocket was close ou £1,300, I am, &c, 11. W. FAB-UMm

REV. MR LONG AND MR EWING TON.

(To the Editor.)

1 SIR,—I believe that every thinking Protes tant in this community will say that the Rev. Mr Long's letter was intemperate and ill-timed in the face of a Protestant gather ing and timo-honoured institution on their anniversary and holiday, apart from his at tack on tlie Rev. Messrs Dunn and Isitt. I gather from the discussion that theso gen tlemen's battle is not with tho individual or animal man, or their Roman Catholic brethren, but of great Protestant principles and Christianity—light and life which con stitutes the essence of genuine religion, us Martin Luther said, *' contains pure truth, founded ou facts," on the Bible "capa ble of standing the scrutiny of every up right and'enlightened mind ;" in fact it is the "work of God, who sustains what ho creates, and the pledge of its duration is tho promise of its divine Head." Protestant ism exists in tho heart of its communion— alike in the clergy and laity, and a plain and undisguised belief in the doctrine of Jesus Christ and that which Ho taught to common humanity; protesting against error and dark and mysterions ways known and permitted by tho Catholic clergy, and not as the Catholic laity, receiving only what is to be interpreted through their priests. And also I think that Mr Ewington in the light of his own lookini-glass that would show others simply reflects himself. It caunot be anything but affectation and siliy pedantry of a layman to become censor of ministers of religion—first the Rev. Mr Webb ou hi. Biblical knowledge, then offer ing certain books for the perusal of the Rev. S. Edger, a man of deep research, and one of the ablest reasoners in the Colonies, next the Rev. Messrs Dunn and Isitt, on uncharitablencss and uuheavenly love, and tho "ethics of Chrisl*." Is not this attack of Mr Ev.ington's more uncharitable and insiduous, when he says " that they (the ministers) aro more accustomed to the pulpit, or coward's cattle, where their state ments cannot be challenged ?" This is bold enough, especially hurled at the servants of Christ that use (it is hoped) their pulpits for a better purpose, and to say the least is most uncharitable, unchristian and uncalled for. Mr Ewington simply practises, as it is apparent, what he condemns in others, and evinces a dosire to inflict an injury under cover. True, some men must bo huge hollow shams, whose every act. inscribes itself in the memories of their fellows and in their own manners.—l am, &c,

KARANGAHAPE ROAD BOARD.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —At the late meeting of the above board a ratepayer is reported to have asked some questions in respect of the item of expenditure, under the head of legal ex pense, £32 10s, and adding that he thought expenditure of this description might have been saved or more satisfactorily spent, had the matter in dispute been re ferred to . arbitration. The chairman is stated to have replied that the legal ex penses were contracted in the case against the City Council (in endeavouring to re pudiate the half cost of keeping in repair the boundary road), adding if the matter had been referred to arDitration it would have cost £80. This is rather a curious ad mission, that .amount being, lam told, the the full amount of the half cost of repairs demanded, implying that if the claim had gone to indifferent arbitrators the Karangahape Board would have had to pay the full amount of one half cost, aud that in refusing such just demaud they can afford to prefer to throw away the rates in useless and unprofitable legislation, leaving the demand, or even such portion as may have been considered fairly due (they offered £40), unpaid and unsettjed.—l am, &c.,' Visitor.

FIRE INSURANCE.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—You havo lately published several letters on the subject of Fire Insurance, the gist of which arc complaints against the lute advance in the rates, through a com bination and union of tho several local offices. Their best reasons for this sudden advance in tho rates, and their best excuses for this unjustifiable conduct, arc, that the salaries, commissions, and rents of premises, almost eat up all the profits, heretofore, and that an advance price must be had to pay shareholders' dividends. (But the secret, privately, Mr Editor, is -there are too many of ihiiin.) It simply amounts to a question of supply and demand as in other matters of merchandise. If there is more supply than demand let the weaker go to the wall, that is, let him give up business and retire, rather than do as the insurance companic. have done—bolster one another up, all hang together, and screw a living out of the public by combination, and scandalous in justice with extortion. One ot your corres pondents stated that insurances were being effected in Sydney on first class properties at 2s 6d per hundred, and Mr T. B. Hill, en route for England, wrote to say that |he found that they were being done at 2s. But I see in _ late Sydney paper, " The Telegraph," that the Liverpool, Lon don and Globe offices there are anxious to do business at Is 6d per hundred. But then I should surmise they have free com petition there. Now contrast these prices with our Auckland rates, for the same i isle, which is about 10s to 12s per hundred. There is, I am glad to say, a movement on foot in the Auckland Fire Insurance Alli ance, which is calculated to bring about a much more desirable state of affairs than

those under which we have been suffering heretofore. It is a combination solely con sisting of insurers, aud with one end in view—cheap rates'; and its modus operandi is to meet combination by combination—a Suppliers' Trades Union by a Buyer's Lock out. If the public will only support the Alliance they could soon secure moderate rates and be comparatively secure from these sudden rises of prices. lam wc,, Alliance.

THEATRE ROYAL.

On Saturday Henry Dunbar was followed by what was termed an original sketch, " Catching the Kellys." The plot is simple and ridicules mostly O'Conner, his officers and black trackers. The speeches of Ned Kelly were very much condemna tory to himself, parents and sympathisers. Mr" O'Brien, as O'Connor, was the life of the piece. Mr Haggarth, as O'Quado, was very funny. Miss Wilton, as Kate Kelly, and Mr Steeie as Ned, were good. Tte piece will be repeated to-night.

THE BELLRINGERS.

The Lynch Family of Bellringers re-opened at the Lome-street Hall ou Saturday after noon for a short valedictory season, and both their matinee and evening performance were well attended. The various items in the programme wore received with cordial manifestations of pleasure, and scveial of i lem were encored. The music discoun 01 by the clever campanalogians was applauded to the echo, while Professor Lyndhurst's display of ventriloquism proved a fertile source of merriment to the old as wnll as to the young. The skotches,too, were brimful of humour. The concluding performance will bo given to-night.

LATEST TELEGRAMS.

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. GOLDEN Calf.—The lode is being S ripped preparatory to breaking down, Kuranui Hill.—Tho manager reports : The quartz from No. 1 lode, 3GO feet level, has proved payable, after numerous tests. ~The Blight Smile pump fs doing its work steadily and satisfactorily, although the directors complain that it has never received fair play owing to continual stoppages of the 'bis. pump, which is now ocly worked to snit a higher level than the Bright Smile requires. This would seem to indicate that VVaio-Karaka pumps tends to lessen work of other and must continue to do so as long as the big pump is only intended to drain to a depth of 200 feet. Steps arc about to be taken to compel mines bcuelitted by the Waio- Karaka pump to contribute a proportion of cost fifor pumping, but whether this would affect the mines contribution to Big Pump remains to be seen. No doubt tho whole question will be con sidered from a legal point in ordor that the management of each may know exactly their position in this respect.

Mining News.

MOANATAIRI.—The mine manager re ports for the week : Point Bussell in breaking down the reef at Creek level strong colours of gold were seen, and the country is not so light. Wo have driven twenty feet along the lode, which is one foot thick and payable. Tun nel level diiving has been started on tho Golden Age reef, and we arc now up 12 feet on the hanging wall. At present there arc nice lookiug leaders of quartz dropping into the reef. The Nonpariel cros3-cut is going through close tight country, 18 feet having been driven this week. Wc are 32 feet from our boundary. Iv the SO feet level driving west has been suspended, the leader being small. In the stope above colours of gold are seen, and the stulf is payable. No. 1 leader iv the western cross-cut as driven on East is now a foot thickand much improved. I think a payable block of ground is being opened up. At tho intermediate and tunnel levels there are five, stopes iv a width of 60 feet, and other payable leaders have been discovered in the "horse" of ground. Our general crushing is shewing an improvement on last return.

Kurunui Hill United.—The following report, dated Saturday, was received today from Mr J. W. Walker, mine manage)) :— 3Goft. level, No 1 lode.—The end of the drive on No. 1 lode has now advanced 7S feet beyond the point where it jnnctioncd with the specimen leader (No. 3.) At a point 45 feet iuside the specimen leader, No. 1 lode took a turn to the westward, and on this bearing has been followed 33 feet. In this latter distance, several .ems of quartz from the hanging wall have joined it, and at these junctions I find the main lode (No. 1) carried the best indications, and in making tests I find good prospects of gold; but between these points ot juncture the quartz is poor. In the face to-day wc have a new branch vein from the hanging wall, and the main lode is show ing copper pyrites, and other favourable indications more plentifully than at any previous time. lam perfectly certain that tbe stone now in view will turn ont well when crushed, although actually no gold is visible.! The width of the reef has varied during this week's work, from four feet to eighteen inches. No. 2 Lode (360 feet): — During the week very little has been done on this lode, and no quartz has been broken No. 3 vein (specimen leader) : —Stoping has been continued without interruption. The leader on tho west end is larger than on the level below, and shows a few gonden stones but nothing rich. At twelve feet from the back of the drive it has been joined by a strong leader, in which, also, wc see gold, although only a small portion of it has yet been broken. I intend to coutinue our westward drive along the line of the heave, in order to pick up this new vein.—The Hoppers : Two new quartz hoppers have to-day been completed, and on Monday will be filled. The battery will start on Monday on _ tho stuff now on the floors. I will lose no timo in getting started afterwards on the different lots from 360 ft. The bad weather has sadly hindered the work of making the hoppers. —Oddfellows : The stopes in this division continue unchanged,—New Deep Lead Drive : I have let a contract for this job (330 ft. in length) at 5s per foot.—Long Drive : There is no change of any note iv this section.
