Tiiamks, this day.—Much excitement has been caused hero by reports of the discovery of a further quantity of specimens in tlie Deep Level Cross mullock heap. The particulars aro as follows : — Prior to tho discovery of gold in the rise abovo tlie G4O-feet level last week, a few trucka of quartz broken from tho new lender iiad been deposited on the beach. Sup posing there might be other stone of similar character amongst it, the manager examined the tip this morning, and secured about half-a-dozen pounds of picked stuff, some of which might almost be termed specimens. The discovery is of tho deopest impor tance to both tho Cross and Imperial Companies, the rise boing situated on tho line of partition betwoon tbe two properties.

The local market is firmer. Sales of Crosses have now been effected at 3s, and inquiries aro still mado at that figure. Im perials stand about 245.

JOSEPH NEWMAN. Chairman.

The 37 competitive plans of a suitable building for .lie Freo Public Library will be on exhibition to-morrow, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., in the Lome-street Hall, and also during the two following days.

A meeting of the creditors of .Tames Meredith, draper, of Coromandel, whicli was to havo been held to-day, lapsed for want of a quorum. It ia convened now for to-morrow. Tho assets are stated at £475 31s 9d, consisting of atock-in-trade, £40. I9s 7d, and book debt*, £68 12s 2d, while the liabilities aro put down at £484 lis 4d. The items are :— Messrs Sargood, Ewen and Co., £368 4s 3d; Messrs Buttorworth Bros. (Dunedin), £20 2s 2d; and Messrs MeArthur and Co., £96 4s lid.

Tlie examination of tho various Roman Catholic schools in tho city takes jilaco this \ve«k, and also the incidental distribution of jiri.es. The programme is as follows :— Tomorrow, at 11 o'clock, St, Joseph's Infant School; 2 o'clock, St. Mary's Board .iig and Seloct Schools; Thursday, at 11 .o'clock, Aloysin.'

tn all probability a considerable propor tion of the Christchurch unemployed will be drafted to Auckland. Late on Satur day afternoon the Mayor received a tele cram from the Minister for Public Works fuquiring what demand there was for _a__ur here. On behalf of His Worship, -the Town Clerk wired back to-day •ihat fihere was a good demand for pick and shovel men, bricklayers and {bricklayers' labourers, engineers and car penters—pick ,-jnd shovol men, however, being most needed- Ho also stated that with painter 3, plumbs, bakers, butchers, ;and shoemakers, the market was fairly supplied, and that with clerks, penmen, and men not fit for manual labour jt was well supplied.

Tho first meeting of the creditor, of Jas. McCord, builder.of Auckland, wa«lield _it noon to-day, in the Supreme Court jhoi. sc, Mr A. D. Bennett presiding. The .debtor was examined at some length. He attributed his insolvency to a losing .contract. It appears that he contracted to ibuild two ,cottages at Newmarket for a f_aan named Bi-owb for £110 each, whereas they had cost £507. Mr Goldie's timber bill alone footing up to £110. Only £13 of this amount had been paid, so that Mr Goldie is a debtor to the extent of £106. •The assets are nil, but tl» debtor ia ;iow engaged upon a contract for the ereetfon of a two-story building at !Vnoll for a Mr Elliott, and out of it he .expects ,to make iXD. The contract price in £430 ; _250 worti. of work had been done upon it, and in respfcci of this the debtor had re ceived £100. JS'rA. D. Bennett was elected trustee, and the meeting adjourned.

The particular attention of shopkeepers and others who use the city refuse carts, is invited to t_.e public notice elsewhere from the Town Clerk, that, on and after ihe Ist January, tho contractor only undertakes to remove one nox of re fuse or (sweepings., and not to exceed a specified size, mentioned in the advertise ment; but there will be no refusing to tako this or that, tho .contractor is bound is take what is put out (except, of course, night-soil, manures, or liquids) As the contractor is bound under penal ities to clear Queen-street and streets abut ting thereon by 8.30 a.m., it wjU be noces aary to have "the boxes placed out punc tually by 8 p.m.

A sitting of "the R.M. Court was held 40-day beforo Mr H. G. Seth Smith for the {further hearing of tho case of Harry Treefry t.. Enoch Bond, jun., Enos Bond, and Evan Bond, for tho recovery or value (£2O) of a certain bullock, alleged to haso been wrong fully taken by them, together with t'lo damages. Tho easo was commenced some time ago, and the casa for the defence was pponed up to-day. Mr H. If. Lusk ap -s*s.ared for tho plaintiff, and Mr Thos. Gqtt'or if or i.he defendants.
