The first contact was not obtained owing to ♦hi low altitude of the sun at that momeut. when high enough, the solar disc was carefully iU«*ed for sun-spot.. A few hSi ones were vi"ible> ttßd over thes/ 4 u6 _oon passed during the progress of the eclipso- but nothing special was noted. No irac* appeared on the present occasion of tbat feature so noticeable dutiuu tDe iolw eclipsa of last year, viz., the ex iitonce of the mountain ranges on the moom' limit. This no doubt.waa owipg to the »tmospbere disturbance preventing them from being seen.

TE ABOHA, this day. OH hearing of the Governor's intention to Tidt tbe Waikato this week, the settlers here conjectured that there was a likelihood ol his paying a visit to this district. From further developments, however, regarding hi* movements, they are now satisfied that neatjnaikof favour on the part of His Excellency is not probable. Cer- Waly 1 trip through this part of tbe country wonld be infinitely more attractive loan that which his present pro gramme indicates.- The extensive work of' traniwsy coostruodqn, erection of new bat tenes, «c, at Waiorongomai, is in itself a great attraction, and well worthy a visit. « U still probable that Hi* Excellency Wgotwtnra to Auckland via Te Aroha Ud Thames, Mr Adam*, overseer, is making excellent progress with the construction of the tram- Illy. The work of tnnuellmg at the land •up a expected to be completed in about m» weeks, when the work of plate laying TO then be proceeded with. ~fin_tfß is. remarkably dull here at present, and with the exception of a little racouraglngnewsfrom WaioroDgomai mines ••*ft!°Mlly, there ia nothing startling, *«look forward to the completion of the truu«_y an_ the success ot the new mines Mjomceg of future prosperity.

LOSS OF THE CLARINDA.

Insurances Amounting to

£2,350 faid,

It is now sixty-one days since the schooner Clarinda, in charge of Captain Jarl, left Greymouth for tbe Manukau with a full cargo of coal, and sue has never since btcn heard of. It is most likely she has succombed to one of iho^e terrible storms experienced along the New Zealand coast, about the beginning of March, and gone down wiih all hands. The Clarinda was ownsd by Messrs Stone Bros, of Auckland, and was almost a new vessel. The hull was insured for £2000, and the freight for £200 in the N.Z. Insurance Co.'a office, and the cargo of coal was insured for £150 in the Mutual Fire and Marine Com pany. This make* a total of £2350, all of which was paid over to the owners last week.

MINING NEWS.

BY TELEGRAPH.--OWN CORRESPONDET.

TUAME J, this day

MAKIN^P. —Winding water was started this morning, and by »uortly before 11 o'clock tbe southern abaft had been emptied down to the mullock which had becu thrown into it, a depth of about 25 feet below NO. 4 chamber. Winding was then discontinued. Tho single tangye engine works steadily, and lifts the tank with ease with a pressure of 401b*. of steam. Nkw Prince jmpkbiai,.—The quartz which was showing through the break at No. 5 level on Friday proves to be a strong leader, 18 Inches in width. The drive will therefore be continued on it, and i« now being advanced on the footwall. No breaking-down of the quartz has yet taken place, but good dabs ot gold have been seen in some which has been torn off by the shots fired, and fcveral nice stones obtained, The quartz is similar to that in the No. 2 lode, but appears to be more heavily mineralised. No deSaite opinion can yet be formed as to what reef tbe new body ol quartz is, but in the mansger'a opinion it is most likely to be identical with the hanging-wall leader cut in the cross-cut at No. 4 level. Thil leader was about3oft. distantfrom No. 2 reef of that level, but was standing much straighter, and supposing it cuniinued to underlie at the same rate, it would be very ntar the oart where the new lode has been* fouud. This may or may not turn out to be the case, but driving will be pushed ahead on it, and if it is found not to be the rVo. 2, a cross-cut will be put in the footwall to in tersect that lode.

NEW FERRY STEAMER.

A LOCAL shipbuilder is preparing plans and specifications for a new ferry steamer for the Ponsonby and Northcote Ferry Compaay. This vessel will measure 96ft. in length, with 15ft. beam, and will be something after the style ol the Devonport, which is at present doing the company's work. She is however, to have very little " top-hamper," with but one deck. The bridge will extend across the paddle-boxes, and the yes ;el will steer from either end. There is to be a cabin in each end, and a smoking-room in tbe centre, while there will be seats all round tbe deck. This will give accommodation for about 250 persoss. '1 he machinery ia now on the way out from home. The engines are 20 horse-power, and are expected to give a velocity of about 8 or 9 knots. The new steamer is to be finished about the beginning of next summer, when she will run in conjunction with the Devonport be tween Auckland, Ponsonby, and North cote.

OFERA MOUSE.-NEW BILL TO-NIGHT.

" Jo " has been withdrawn from the boards of the Opera House after an highly succss. ful "run," and to-night "The Grasshop. per," a farcial comedy adapted by Mr J. P, Burnett from the French, will be put on in its place, lt is mirthful and laughter provoking to a degree, abounds with songs and dunces, contains an extensive range of characters, is wholly free from anything coarse or objectionable, and in Melbourne, where it had an uninterrupted run of eight weeks, it quite transcended the success of " Jo." Owing to the length of the piece, and having due regard to a possible exac tion of euc.res, the management announce that the performance will commence at a qnarter to eight sharp. There is every prospect of a crowded house.

Athle'ic sports are to be held at A vondale on Queen's Birthday. 'I ho principal event is the Av-ndale Cup of lOsov-., to be run in three heats of 100, 220, and 440 > arris. A Bicycle Race—the prizes for which are a gold and a sliver medal-alsj appears among the list of events.

The Promoters of tho aboro enterprise, having accepted tho terms of the Harbour Board for a site, desire to give everyone an opportunity of taking an Interest, however email, in an under taking which will be of great benefit to the com munity at large, and which la anticipated to yield a fair return for capital invested. It is not the intention of the Promoters to confine the ad vantages of this enterprise to a few large capitalists. They desire smaller investors t« take an interest in it. Their objoot is to estab llsh the Company on a broad basis, and to con duct the enterprise as far as possible by colonial men and with colonial oapital. Before forming a Provisional Direotory, the Promoters desire all who wish to co-operate with them to forward their names and addresses, not later than May 12th, to the Secretary, Mr Craig, at the temporary offices of the Promoters, New Zea land Insurance Buildings, Queon-Btreet, Auck land.
