The Epsotn district is making rapid strides*in the onward march,of ptogress. 'A number of new residences have, been erected there recently, and Within the last few months a pretty public hall, capable of accommodating about 150 persons, has i>«en built. The residents are making pre parations for a concert in aid of the piano fund, which will take place shortly. Mr Edwin, Binney sends- us a long letter giving another version, of his dispute with Mr Bell, which led to recent Court procj'ed ings.^ But the matter being a purely pri vate one, we.cannot open our correspon dence columns for its discussion.

Mr Patterson, of the Fitzroy Holel> Wakefield-street, was suddenly seized with spittiug of blood last evening about £ia;ht o'clock, and it was feared that lie had rup tured a blood-vessel, Mr Paterson recently returned from a trip to England, aud has not been in good health since. He has b^en for some time under the professional caru of Dr. Stockwell and Dr. Kichardson, but he hiis not been iv the Hospital, as stated in the " Herald " this morning. We learn this afternoon that-the patient is easier, iiiid likely soon to recover, - 'i The meeting held dt the Epsom Public ' Hall last night was very unanimous in re ference to the dangerous state of the Auck land'and Oneniinga K'oad.and a series of resolutions—copies of which will be for warded to the members for Eden, Parnell, and Onehunga, and the Government, wore, passed. The road is certainly in a dis graceful state, and demands immediate attention. A telegram from Mr Lundon which was read at the meeting, stated that only a very Bmall proportion of the tolls collected during the last four, years, had beeu expeuded on the road. ■■ ! We notice in our police report that a per boiq was summoned tp answer 'for a dirty yard in Alexandra-street. We may state, for the information of the general publjc, that tbe Sanitary In.spestor expresses liia determination,1 in accordance with his dutios,1 to take regular perambulations in and, about the city, and any householder failing to keep his yard decent, must not be sin-prised if suddenly called upon to answer a similar charge. A close inspection, in these days of fever, is absolutely necessary for the sake of the public health. ■

COMPLIMENTARY BENEFIT TO MR RHODES.

" Trial by Jury,", preceded by a ballad con cert was repeated at St James* Hall last nluht, for the. benefit of Mr Rhodes, as a means of recognising his willing and gratuitous services in tho production of the operetta, '■'here was a large audience, and the entertainment provod very enjoyable. Tiio concert was a decided improvement upon that of, last week, and" the musical oxtTavaganza was performed quite at* as .well as it was'an the previous ooonsion. In the first part of the programme'the ladles carried of i' tho vocal honour*. Mr Kbodea being the only gentleman who appeared to any striking advantago, His selection ''The Villago Blacksmith " was admirably rendered and ■ deserved all the applause that it evoked. Mrs Tebbs gave the simple and pleasing old ballad " Cherry Ripe " with great acceptance, and Mrs Revitt earned an encore for her execution of anew song "MySailorliad.' Miss Sampson contributed with pronounced effect tho. onoo popular ballad "Phe Wore a Wreath of Roses " and in response to the inevit able rocal gave " Robin Adair quite as happily, while Miss Jackson sang " Ketnembar or fforgst" with' xreat taste and careful ezpreslon. These were the moat suooesßful items of the concert. Mies Fleetwood's song,." Tho Spell is Broken," was also well rendered. Mr Niold's comlo contri butions created considerable morrimont.and one of them was bo much appreciated that its repe tition was insisted on. "Come into theGardon Maud" wbb sung by .Mr Forth, but scarcely with his acoustomed success, the selection boing ovidontly unsuitablo for him. '■' ')'rial by Jury," received a very fair Tepreßon tation and the performera obtained a full mea sure of approbation from the audience. Mr« Revitt as tho disconsolate plaintlff.Mr Goupland as tho persuasive barrister, and Mr Forth as tho uncompassionate defendant were oapital in their respective parts, and secured tho lion's share of the plaudits. Mr Warner me do a highly amusing Usher. : Altogether the performance was very creditable to those who were engaged in it, and. it certainly was eDj|oyed greatly1 by the audi-i ence. . >

The object for which this Company is formed ■ is the acquisition oC freehold and leasehold lands which are known to contain gold or other minerals, with a view of prospecting and mining thereon: also of loasiiur,.£ha ~whn)<x-»-. o^tucuxr, f-crai a 'ldcedrentai, or bofuT The discoveries of gold, from time to time, at t. various localities on the Coromandel Feoinsnla, show, beyond a doubt, that tho numerous quartz bearing ranges which traverse the whole of that , peninsula are more or less siuriferoiu, requiring f '-only -rigorons and'persevering prospeoting to develope and bring to light rich lodes. ♦ Having this fact before them, the promoters have succeeded in purchasing the fee simple of that valuable block of land, situated at Coro inandol, known as the Taumatawahlrie Blook. This block contains 167 aores of land, and is tra aversed in every part by-gold-bearing quarta . reefs, which, up to the present time, havi remained comparatively unproapected. I On the boundary of thia block the Success Sold Mining Company and other companies are novj carrying on operations, with excellent prospscta, the former Company having obtained it 3 last parcel of speclmims within a few feet of the /.boundary ot the block; and there ianb reason to ■ doubt but that the whole of the remainderof the Tanmatawahine Block is equally as.yaluable as the ground now bointt worked by that Company! This blook possesses great advantages for economic working, as backs of from SOD to 60Q feet cap be obtained without sinking/and withj M"Mk ont the aid of oxpeosive machinery. -It -alao P .contains a large quantity; of valuable Kauri wfe s timber,-which will prbvei serviceable tothe ■Sfl?; Company. *' .-■■■■•■■ - lr* ■' ■*"] vm In order to secure the thorough prospecting of the land, the directors have decided to issne per; mita to prospectors, upon liberal conditions. , The annexed reports-will give -some idea of the property, and the promoters now offer it to the publio on the terms herein set forth. , ,- i The nfomoteis are so satisfied with' the prosi pects of the Company that they .have agreed to accept the greaterpartof the price of the laud in partially paid-up shares—lo,ooo shares, of 6a each Said-np, being reserved fof this purpose—the alance M the purchase monoy.
