A Canadian paper states that there ate at present no less than eight hundred bachelors under the care of a single Presby terian superintendent of missions in Mani toba, and it is seriously proposed to get np a party of marriageable girls from Ontario in the spring to take by storm this strong hold ot enforced celibates. A local editor, touched with sympathy for the bard lot of the disconsolate bachelors, and for the equally unenviable position of the maidens whom the tide of emigration has left high and dry on the sands of the older provinces, ■whiclyiave have long since become "settled" in more senses than one, offers to receive applications from girls willing to join the proposed expedition. The undertaking is a, truly patriotic one, but the leaders had better beware of guaranteeing husbands for their followers. Few sensible girls, probably, will care to join such an organisa ation, but the proposal is. but another in dication of the fact that there does exist in the colonies a large demand for female emigrants. Messrs Sntton and Co. have recently erected a largo and capacious malting establishment at Newmarket. We have had the pleasure of inspecting the premises, and observe that the firm have just com menced malting for the season. The grain was seen in all stages—from the steep to the kiln. For storing purposes, two largo brick bins, cemented both inside and out side, have been erected. These are capable of holding upwards of 5,000 bushel of malt each, the composition being of a nature which, imparts that flavour to the malt which is considered the most desirable in all large : establishments of a similar kind. The present arrangements have already given evidence of being quite insufficient to supply 'the great demand which has lately been made on the resources of the firm, and Messrs Sntton will find it necessary to increase the "malting" until it becomes more than doublo its present size. The present building, which is two stories high, will be allowed to remain as it now stands, while another larger and more lofty one is erected adjoining. By next season, therefore, the proprietors will be in a position to double the present outward supply. A new patent malt kiln, especially adapted for stout, has been ordered from England, and is ex pected to arrive shortly. We wish Messrs Sntton & Co. success] in their under taking. • . J

(BY TELEGRAPH.—PKBSS ASSOCIATION),

CHRISTCHURCH, this day. The Presbyterian Assembly continued its sittings at 11 to-day, the Moderator presid ing. Reports on the Maori Missions and Marriage with Deceased Wife's Sister were received, and on the latter it was decided to take no action.

The report on the Examination Board was received and adopted, and the Rev, Messrs Kunciman, Treadwell, Shcrrifs, Cairns, Neil), Nichol, Hanxwell, McKinney, Monro, Doull, Ross, With Mr Sidey as convener, were appointed for the Current year.

The report was received on the Assembly expenses fund, and regret was expressed that so many churches were backward in their contributions. The proposal to locate tbu Assembly in Wellington was negatived.

The report on the Church Property Bill was brought up and agreed tb. On the question of the reception of minis ters and congregations from other churches, the following report was agreed to :—Any minister belonging to any other church who desires to be admitted as a member of this church must apply in the first instance to the Presbytery within whose bounds he has his residence ; tho Presbytery to report to the Assembly, by whom alone admission shall be made.

An imperfect statistical report was re ceived, and ordered to bo completed, and regret was expressed that owing to the negligence of some congregations they could not have been so earlier, On the motion of the Rev, Mr Mackio, Messrs Peacock and Somerville were appointed the audi. tors of the Churcb, payments to be made on their joint certificate. The ex-Moderator was thanked for his address.

On the motion of the Rev. Chas. Frascr, the Eev. Mr Tread well, as convener, brought up a report of the committee of union of tho Northern with the church of otago and Southland, together with the basis of union proposed by the committee of the Synod of Otago and Southland— "It is proposed that intimation be given to the committee of Northern Church that in our judgment an incorporat ing union would be practicable if the res pective churches accepted the following principles. 1. Basis of union t "The churches shall declare their agreement in doctrine, government, worship, and discipline, by tho acceptance of the same standards, and of the same for mula for tho ordination and induction of office-bearers." 2. " Arrangements for the working and constitution of the united church. 1. "The designation of the church shall be the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand." 2. " The supreme court of the Church shall be called the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand, and shall be constituted by representation of Presbyteries. The legisla tion shall be regulated by the Barrier Act.'* 3. " Provincial Synodsshallbediscontinued as intermediate courts of appeal. 4.

" Several trust funds available for church purposes in the respective churches shall continue to be ap plied for the purpose, and within the limits already appointed, and the powers of Provincial Synods shall be strictly limited to the administration of the respective trust funds." The committee recom mend several alterations in the fore going basis, and after a long, and at times heated discussion, and three amend ments, the original motion of the Rev. Mr Mackic was agreed to by 21 to 14. The motion was " That the report be received, and that the thanks ot the assembly be given to the committee, and especially to the convener for the diligence and wisdom, with which they have carried on during the past year, the required negotiations in con nection with tbe important duty with which they were entrusted." (2) "Thatthe com mittee be re-appointed with power, should they see fit. jto addto their number." (3) "Believing that tbe basis of union as submitted by the committee of the Synod of Otago is a workable basis, recommend that it he amended in accordance with the alterations stated in the rrpoit of the Union Committee, and transmitted to the |com mittee of the Synod of Otago and South land, and that it also, as amended, be sent down to the Presbyteries and sessions of this Church for their considera tion, and report at the next Assembly. (4) That the committee be instructed to continue to negotiate meanwhile in the manner which seem most advisable, and report results to next Assembly." The Rev DrSalmond expressed the gratification which he felt at the result which had been arrived at, and explained the action that the Synod of Otago wonld probably take. The Assembly then adjourned until ten o'clock this morning.

THE WEST COAST NATIVES.

Onr Normanby correspondent writes : — "Daring the late visit of the Native Minister to this district it was intimated to the natives that a portion of the continuous reserve was needed tor settlement, and would be taken by the Government in payment for the trouble given by the native owners in their adhesion to the seditious policy of Te Whiti, and as a warning to them to abstain from like agitation for tho future. As was rumoured some time back, the amount to be taken in the Waimate Plains is 5,000 acres, and it is to be allocated on that portion which ad joins Te Ngatuotemanu and between that place and the block lately sold, "vhich 1 runs directlj through the so-called centinu. ous reserve, cutting it in two. In addition to the settlement of this re-confiscated land the whole of the reserves on the Coast are to be dealt with under the provisioca of the West Coast Reserves Settle ment Act, passed laßt session. Mr Thomas Mackey is appointed Commis sioner to deal with these, and tbe survey is to be immediately started on the sub division, which, being completed, the por tion to be occupied by European settlers will be leased by public tender, and the rents placed in the hands of the Public Trustee for the benefit of the tribal owners. Sufficient land will be left for the wants of the natives in the immediate neichbourhood of their respective kaingas for the growth of their crops. Nothing is at present said about individualising the titles of the natives, and m fact this would be a matter of extreme difficulty at present in consequence of the reluctance of fhe natives to give any assistance in the matter The fact is, the Maoris having dven in their adherence to T* Whiti g-n » n t aive any help to the Govern- Snt wh Bose e scheme & settlement they rnnsder and have been taught by Te Whiti is at present powerless for either good or evil, the Government has the game in its own hands,"

THE GOLDFIELDS OF NEW ZEALAND.

(By Consul Griffin.)

The prospects of the goldfields of New Zea land are brighter than they have been tot many years—new discoveries of the metal are reported almost every day. The aver age yield of the mines for several years past has been about 5,000,000d010 (five mil* lion dollars) per annum. The total value of the exports of gold from the colony since the year 1857 is 180,053,2t55d01a (one hunt dred and eighty-nine million fifty-three thousand two hundred and slxty.five dol lars).

With the exception of Victoria, New Zea< land takes the lead of all the other Austral asian Colonies in the production of gold,

It is interesting to trace the history of the mines of this colony from this year 1867, when g jld fitst became an article of export} up to the present time. The fol lowing table shows the quantity and valiie of gold exported frodt the various ports Of the Colony of New Zealand for each year einbelßs7:— EXPORT OF GOLD FROM NEW ZEA LAND FROM 1857 TO 1881.

For many years after the occupation of Australia by Britain, New Zealand was visited by masters of trading vessels for the purpose of carrying on trade with the Maoris. The whaling vessels that fre quented these seas in thoie years—say bo tween 1770, the date of Captain Cook's visit and 1840, when New Zealand was formally constituted a British colony — helped to direct attention to the fibre known as New Zealand flax (Phormiunti-tmax), and the valuable timber which the forest ot the colony contained for spars and ship building purposes. When regular settle ment was begun in Australia in 1788, the intercourse with New Zealand began to increase, and in course of time the mer chants at Sydney, then called Botany Bay, sent down agent? with their vessels for the purpose ot residing on the islands to gather produce from the natives, and to extend the trade.

Many of their agents were shrewd, un scrupulous men, and no doubt in their travels from one native settlement to another, made discoveries of which they never acquainted the Maoris. Be this as it may, the trade with the Maoris was reputably and rapidly ex tended Not a tew of the earliest agents were men who had deserted from whale ships that visited the iilands. These men lived with the Maoris, married Maori women, and thus became the tnuted advisers of the Maori Chiefs with whom they lived, and the medium of intercourse with the vessels that visited the coasts. At what time the discovery of gold was made is not known, but Graffe, a traveller, who visited the district of the Bay of Islands in 1830, repotted the existence of gold in the Thames river. It ia possible, howerer, that between 1830 and 1640, gold was washed out of the beds of small streams and taken to Sydney. In 1852 gold was found by S. M. F. King, in .Driving Creek, Coromondol, although it wm not until the year 1857 that gold was included in the liat of New Zealand exports by the Customs authori ties.

Then, and indeed tor some years after ward, there was a heavy export duty on gold, about 62) cents per ounce, and there was strong temptation to smuggle gold out of the colony. The rich gold discoveries made in Vic toria in 1863 withdrew the attention of the public from the Coromtndel mines. In 1862, however, gold mining at Coroman del became a settled industry. Two or three years before there had been rumours that shepherds in the mountain districts of Otago had found gold in certain creeks, but very little attention •vvas paid to those rumours until 1862 and 1863, when alluvial gold was found in con siderable quantities. There was a rush of gold-miners from Australia, and the area of gold-bearing country in Nexr Zealand was rapidly extended. New discoveries in Otago and elsewhere tended once more to divert attention from the gold-bearing country of Coromandei. In 1865 gold was discovered near Hokitika. 'Xhe many reports of gold dis coveries induced the Government of New Zealand to offer a reward of £5,000 for the discovery of a gold-bearing district that would give profitable employmeut to miners for a certain number of years. The cupidity of the Maori race was aroused, and Tapairi, a native chief residing at the Thames, sent samples to the Government of gold and gold-bearing quartz found upon his land, and on the Ist of August, 1867, a proclamation was issued, declaring certain prescribed territories, the property of Tapairi, to be opened to Europeans for the purpose of prospecting for gold. On the 17th of August, Hunt and party found gold in a ledge of quartz that crossed the Kuranui Creek. This discovery shortly afterwards became known as "Hunt's Shotover mine." The yield from this mine made every member of Hunt's party wealthy. Discoveries of gold now followed one another in rapid succession, and in a short time the little Maori village contained a population of over 15,000 Europeans. The yield of the mines was enormous. One of these (the Caledonian) alone distributed amongst its shareholders., in the short period of two months, over 300,000d015, (three hundred thousand dollars) in dividends. The shares which originally coat COdoln. (sixty dollars) each went up to 1,050d015. (one thousand and fifty dollars), and readily changed hands at that price. In the month of February, 1862, two California miners, Hartley and Keilly, made a prospecting tour np the Molyneux River. They found gold to such an extent that they said-'1 We had nothing to do but to set the cradle at the edge of the river and keep it going from morning till nieht." They brought to Dunedin over 1000 ounces of gold, and the Provincial Government gave them a bonus of £2000 sterling for making known the locality of their discovery. The West Coast district of the Province of Canterbury is one vast goldfield. Tbe deposits extend to Nelson. The richness of these goldfields kept public attention for, many years confined to them. In regard to the goldfields of Otago, Dr. Hector, the colonial geologist, is of opinion that the deposits are similar to thoae which occur in basins upon the western slope of the Kocky Mountains of North America, from an elevation of 5,000 feet almost to the sea level, and extending from California northward into British Columbia. Vast sums of money have been expended in Otago in brinring water from distant streams. The races are said to be over forty miles in length, winding around hillsides which are often tunnelled, or carried across gullies by flaming or pipes. ALLUVIAL MINING. Alluvial mining is not now practised aa much as formerly, and will In time be suc ceeded by what is called quartz mining, which consists of tbe ordinary process of crushing the rock and extracting the gold by amalgamation with quicksilver. The return* Irom these two classes of mines for many years past have been in about equal proportions, although the re turns for last year show that about two thirds of the gold was obtained from alluvial mining. It is estimated that the auriferous gravel of New Zealand extends through an area of country of over ton million acres. About 5,000 miles of water races have been constructed by the miners at a cost of 4000,0C0dols. (four million dollars.) This is exclusive of the Go vernment water-races and dams, which cost 2,250,000 (two million two hundred and fitly thousand dollars.) QUARTZ MINING, The returns from the mining districts for 1881 show that out of 80,455 tons of

| quartz j the yield of gold wasßß,B7Boz9. The yield from the cement wbb 25,6e00z5., making altogether 114,478 ounces from quartz and cement, The Thames mines alone yielded 63,164 ounces. The yield from this clobb of mines in New Zealand has not made as much progress as in Victoria, but the nature of the country here io different from that of Victoria; moreover, labour is much higher in New Zealand than In her sinter colony, but there is reason to believe that the Govern ment will shortly take steps to opdn up the roads so that machinery and timber may be taken to the mines at a moderate cost.

THE NUMBER OF MINJSKS, The number of miners employed In the goldrlelds of New Zealand on the 31st of March, 1881, was 15,063 (fifteen thousand and sixty-three). The number the year pre vious was 14,409 (fourteen thousand four hundred and ninel. According to a recent calculation raade.by Thos. W; Leys, of Auckland, it Was tOUnd that tho average earnings of each miner for the year ended March 31st, 1881, was 377d01s (three hun dred and seventy-seven dollars) per annum. For the three preceding periods going back, the average earnings per man were respec tively 407 and 487d01s j for the fotir years, 41,187^018. This is about lOdols more than the average earnings of the miners in the Colony of Victoria: This remuneration ap pears to be small; In New Zealand the mineis generally Aave their rent free, and, moreover, all the miners are not dependent on the goldfield, nor do they give all tbeir time to searching for gold. Many of them, especially those having alluvial claims, combine farming and the rearing of cattle, VALUE OF MINING PLANT. The total value of the mining plant in the colony ta 2,146,570d015., distributed as follows :-Auckland, lOO.OOOdols.; Marl borough, 16,825d015.; Nelson, 46.860d018. ; Westknd, 99,195d015.; Otago, 450 ) 300dols. Tho following tablo shows the comparative returns of the quantity and value of gold exported from New Zealand for the years 1879 and 1880 :- Tablo of the Quantity and Value of Gold exported from New Zealand, for the years 1879 and 1880, showing the exports from each Pro vinolal District : -1870. igSO. oes. value, ozs: value. * 9 Auckland 87,901 771,175 42.T20 832,080 Marlborough BT9 17,3(10 1,550 28.250 Nelson 2,993 57,120 3.222 61,150 Westland 142.822 2.855.305 IU.HDO 2.876,290 OtsgO 102,869 2,039,810 113.G63 2,288,520 Totals 28W« 6,710.510 305,218 6,136,290 So many improvements havo been made in machinery for goldmining, anil especially in rock-boriup; drills fdr working in quartz, by which the expense of mining is materially reduced, that it is believed the goldfields Of New Zealand will, in the near future, attract even more attention than they have hitherto done. GOLD COIN. The value of the gold coin imported in the colony of New Zealand for the year 1880, was 455,000 dollars (tour hundred and fifty-five thousand dollars), and tho value of the export of gold coin from the colony for the same period was 600,390 dollars (six hundred thousand throe hundred and ninety dollars.) EXPOKT OF GOLD BULLION TO AMKKICA. Daring tho months of October and November there were several large ship ments of gold from the Australasian colonies to the United States. The Bank of New Zealand, at Auckland, shipped to the bank of France, at San Francisco, gold to the value of 903,885 dollars (nine hundred and three thousand eight hundred and eighty-five dollars), and about the same time there was shipped from the other Australasian colonies gold to the value of 1,042,750d015. (one million forty-two thou sand seven hundred and fifty dollars.) This gold was intended to pay for ship ment* of wheat to Jtturopc. There is reason to believe that there will soon be other and larger consignments ot gold to America from these colonies. • If the Australasian gold which has here tofore been going to the United States by way of London should bo consigood direct to San Francisco, the United States would derive the same benefit from t as if sent to New York by way of Eng and. If California could be supplied from 10 Australasian colonies, tho products of the American mines would naturally go to New York instead of the markets of the Pacific Coasts.

The gold that is sent from here is in tended to pay for California produce sold in England.

A man named Edward Ellings, driver of the horse in the Moanataiari tunnel, met with n painful accident on Monday even ing. It appears that he was breaking in a new horse, and in order to accustom the animal to his work, led him along the stag ging overlooking the hoppers at the back of the stampers. By some unaccountable means tho horse fell on his side, and during his struggle threw Ellinss into the hopper, inflicting an ugly wound on his forehead, ■cverely scratching his face, and bruising bis wrista. He made his way o Dr. Hux table's surgery, where that gentleman attended to his injuries. Dr. Hux table is now attending a man named Gibson, employed in the Hihi bush, who sustained a severe gash on the cap of bis knee a few days ago, tripping over a jagged rock. The unfortunate fellow had to walk all the way to town, a distance of 16 miles, and, in doing bo, considerably aggravated hie wound by inflnmamtion. He is now doing as well as can be expected, — •■ Advertiser"

There arrived by the Alhambra on her last trip) says the " Grey River Ar«us ") three or four coast diggers who some time ago who were lured away by the clowing accounts that reached New Zea land from the New South Wales fields, merely to discover, when too late, that it was only another case of distance lending enchantment to the view. When the goal was reached, the prospect was tho very re servo of enchanting. These returned wanderers give anything bnt an en couraging account of the Mount Browne diggings and other famous rushes in that part of the world. The deposits of gold are patchy, and of very limited extent, whilo the whole country is as dry and arid as a desert, water being almost p.B scarce as gold. The labour market, however, is not glutted. Through the various rushes which have occurred of late the surplus popolation has been drained off; and now that a good many public works are under way, with more to follow, there is abundance of work for all who are equal to hard manual labour, at 8s per day. As the true gold miner seldom settles down to the navvy business unless through stress of circumstances, our friends headed once more for New Zealand, knowing they could always get a little gold here, with all the advantages of a genial climate into the bargain. Claude Melnotte is not so successful off the stage as in the play. In real life a jus tice has granted an absolute divorce to Melvlna Oathout, of Albany City, from her husband, Isaac Oathout, on the ground that the consent of the former to the mar riage had been obtained by fraud. The plaintiffs maiden name was Melvina Brau. In the summer of 1879 the defendant met Mien Bran, and was taken cap tive in the meshes of love. It appears that the young woman did not fall deeply in love with Oathout, however, and the latter was compelled to supplement his ordinary personal attractions with stories of wealth as extravagant as the gilt edged and aromatic tales of the Arabian Nights. By plying the maiden wfth thrill ing descriptions of his mansions and. grounds in the town of Watervliet, with promises of a life of ease and luxury, and with other imaginative but pleasant pic tures, he finally succeeded in arousing Miss Bran's interest, and extracting from her the magical monosyllable, "Yes." On the 31st of August, 1879, they were married at Albsny. Before the morning of the Ist of September of the same year the young woman found that her husband did not own so much as a shingle-nail in any man sion situated within the bounds of reality, and, as she claims, did not even possess the specific specie requisite to buy a breakfast. Not having married fer love, she immedi ately sought her former home and instituted a suit for divorce. The action was based upon the alleged false and fraudulent re presentations of Oathout as to wealth, &c, and was, as stated, successful,

HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT.

(To tho Editor,)

Sib.—A letter appears in this morning's " Herald" from a professed Hospital patient, complaining of want of attention there, and taking strong exception to the dietary arranxe rilente. The writer must be exceedingly querulouo, or else he has deliberately ex aggerated and distorted facts in order to mislead the publlo with respect to ah institution whoso government lias always given the greatest satisfaction ; for this, as a frequent visitor, I can vouch. .The complainant writes over the mom, de pturiie of " An Observer," starts by accusing ttie management of false economy and then pro oseda to detail the diet of the patients. In doing so he oonveniontly omito everything hav ing a tendenoy to disorodit or to explain away his obargeß. The " Ration List" for January may bo inspeoted by visitors, and from it ft may be seen that not only was there a liberal regular supply of nutritive foods, bat that in many cubb the prescribed quantities were largely increased by extra allowances, and the same thing is even now forcibly exemplified in the statement of the creature comforts served out The fixed quantity of milk was exceeded considerably; and so also were the supplies Of eggs and arrowroot. "Observer's" remarks concerning the nurses and attendants are overdrawn to a similar extent. If he has really a grievance to vsntllate, let him pnbltsh his name as a guarantee of good faith, and then make his accusations categorically, so that they may be met and disproved with equal readiness. It is easy to put forward general charges and hard to answer them, botlf "Obßflrv'er''ishenai.t, he will par ticularise. lamin no way Honnuotod with the Hospital, but am anxious merely far eluoldatlon of the truth.—l am, eta, ANOtHBB OHHBRVKB.

SCARLET FEVER IN ONEHUNGA.

(To tho Editor.)

Sib.—Allow me to ask through the medium of your valuable paper what tho ratepayers of Onohunga ale thinking of} Here we have the sbirlet fever raging, and nothing done to pre vent its spreading (except what Dr Scott has done); some weeks ago it was suggested that tho BorouKh Counoil should upDoint an In spector of Nulsanoeß, and the extremdi) intel lectual councillors came to the conclusion that the man employed to mend the raids wits the proper person to be Inspector, and the epidemlq is still Kiilng on. Now, to my certain know lodge, the part of Onehunga in which the fever has carried off the moßt victims, is the Worst supplied with water. This is what is more needed than an Inspector of Nnlsancos-a plentiful supply of good water—and why oan't we have it] Thore's plenty of springs in i.mohungß', and for about four or flvo hundred pounds the whole place could bo supplied. But the principal pu-t of tho ratepayers say, " We have tanks, and wo don't want water." Let me tell them they want it as much, or more, than thoße who have no tanks. Why! Because tbey forgot what tb oir houses are oovered with —almost the whole of the houses in Onehunga are shingled, and moat of them half rotten. Now, I suppose they'll allow that we have a groat number of sparrows and other birds, which outtle about the roofs of houses: there are also all sorts of inseots.inoludiig Maori bugs, continually being washed down into the tanks. Can tho water be pure from suoh a source ? A tew days ago a smith was Bent for by ooe ot our residents to see wbat was the matter with the tap of their tank. On taking it to pieces he found it quite ohoked up with mosquitoes. Now it is a well-known faot that mosquitoes don't generate in spring water, bat the reverse. The more foul the water the more mosquitoes. So if those old wiseacres who take three or four weeks to decide a simple question of Inspector or no Inspector of Nuisances were to Bet about sup plying the place with plenty of good water, and spend tho publio's money la that way. instead of giving it away to charitable inatitutiooß. they would be doing somo good ; and if tbey wish to be charitable let them put their hands into thalr own pockets, and not into the public purse. To oouolude. if the people of Onehunea would pay more attention to dr alnage and use earth olosets and plenty ot pure water, I believe Osehunga would be what it always has boen—one of tho healthiest plants In Now Zealand.
