I THAMKS, Thursday. rufe Level Cnoss.-The men working in tkEwlDze on the No. 2 reef have, for the last IflEft two, beon cutting imo the hanging wall nntiie small break, whiob has bean followed Sown so as to eet the reel on the right hand side. The winze having been sunk on the ceaward site of the break, after cutting in about 6 feet, SSrte was met with last night It Is three inches wide, and colours of gold were showing In two or three places to-day. The course of the wlnie will now be altered bo si to follow the newly cut body of quartz. The finding of gold it tola point is a good sign, and augers well for the payableness of No. 5 block. QOBEtf op Beauty. - The connection be tween the No. 10 level and the winze from No. OWM established taut night, and the ventilation *in both places is now much improved. The net in the drivo since the gold was attained about aw. ek ago has lie on (torn 2 to i fc3t in width, and though no sold has been seen.the minerals have been very J»Yoorable. In the face the reef appears to have mils, one portion striking off to the tyjM, and thebther carrying; straight on. The junction of the Queen of i he May reef shoold be met with ' Bomewhere about here, but, whether this is it or not, It will be hard to say for a day or two. In the winze there are two distinct bodies of ■tone showing, though a few feet higher np they were in one BOlid reef. The footwall branch is the one which the diire has been mt in on, and looks well, colours of gold bslnftseen. The hanging-wall branch has not been touohed in the drive, and is striking and Spring away from the footwall branch, its oooraeheing more westerly, abont 3ft wide, and carries excellent minerals. As soon as the drivo toaraared up and timbered, the manager iMr Charles WilBon) intends to crosscut into the hanging and foot wall to see if any leaders have dropped off from the main reef. At No 9 level underhand stoping is in progress on the main reef at the junction of the Queen of the May reef. Ahole about 15it long and Hit deep has been made. The reef here looks exceedingly well, gold being seen pretty freely. Some picked ■tone and specimens came to hand from here in the latter part of hist week. NIW Pkdi'ce Imperial.—At No. 5 level tha drive on the leader seaward of the break is in abont 20ft. The country in the dig co'tinues pretty good, and several small veins of quartz. v which gold Is seen, are showing. These are picked out of the mullock and sent to the mill. The reef is about a foot wide in the face, and is rather white in appearance, but shows gold freely when broken. The cross-cut on the break, to Bee If No. 2 rcof had beon heavied on No. 5 level, has been advanced 20ft., but there 1b no sign of a defined reef, though the connvry laaDiooky sida s' jue.

ORCHESTRAL SOCIETY'S CONCERT.

Thk Orcliestral Society's fifth concert was succ«Bs-f ully given in the Choral Ball lost night, in the presence of His Excelleocy the Governor, Mies Jervois, and a large and hi'jbiy appreciative assemblage, Berr Carl tichmitt, of course, being conductor, A very choice programme bad bet n compiled, and of the numbers upon it the orchestra itself gave no less than five, the initial number being the overture to Mendelssohn's "Buy flat. It brought the Society's in* strumental resources into active play, and also afforded a good test of its efficiency. Gade's "Ussian" overture, a lengthy nud flowing work in the Dauieli composer's peculiarly sweet, subdued, and winsome style, was the next number, and it proved a real treat. The second half of the pro gramme was opened with a concert overture by Herr Scbmitt himself, which fully attested his conversance with orchestral effecti, and hla aptitude and skill in counterpoint. Ins finale to Haydn's Second Symphony, and "Weiner Stimmen," one of btrauss's dclec^ibls waltzes, formed the remaining contributions from the orchestra, and both were admirably discoursed. Volkmann's quintette for string instruments was contributed by Herr Schmitt (Ist violin), and Messrs C. Hemm (2ud violin), dough (viola), F. Kdger ('cello), and Mctt.euzio (ba>s viol.) It is a pretty and graceful morceau. abounding with expression and its beauties wera brought into strong relief by the careful and unassertive execution which it received. A trio by Fesoa, for piano, violin, and violincello, was performed by Mrs Yon Haast, Herr i-chmitr, and Mr Edger, with very considerable skill, the lady proving herself to be an nccnmpli-hed pianiste. De Beriot's brilliant " Uuo Con certaute," fcr piano and violin, as rendered by Mr Ralph Hood and Herr echmitt, must be regarded as one of the brightest and most agreeatleof the evening'sperformancea. It was given in finished (>iylo, and was emphatically encored. For some reason or other, the vocalists did not appear td their usual advantage, the majority of them , manifesting either .tremulousncia or the effects of cold,. Mr Edwards itaited ner vously with the air, "Fair as a Kose," trom "Mattha," but gradually im proved, while in tbe op«ning re ottutivc of the scena, "Softly Sighs," from "Der Freischutz." Miss Stephen son was somewhat at fault, but she recovered herself' ss soon as the aria was reached, and sang the remaiudoi of the very trying' selection with great ability. Mrs Cooper (nee Mias Vaughan), and Messrs Edwaras and Stuart, gave the trio from " Emaxii" 1 a second nio was .contributed by Misses Connell, Fen ton and Gbrbett, ar-d ! the last named lady also sung a berceuse or cradle song by Gounod with taste nud feel ing, -•■:'., -.... ■ '.. ■ '■■ • - ;t- " • '

OPENING THE KING COUNTRY.

Another Version.

An account of tha meeting between the Native Minister and Wahanui over the passage of the survey party through the King country, furnished by a tuhua chief, has been published by the " Wanga nui uerald " which remarks thereon 1--" If our informant is correct in his version of what took place between sir firyco and Wahanui, the country, instead of being opened, has been absolutely sealed up by a compact to which the parties have attached their signatures. Hataraka, the Tuhua chief, who narrates the account of the inter view, was present on each occasion. The account of the affair is thus described: — Wahanui: This land has not boen bought with your money. You can go on with your roads until you come to the boundary of my lands, but you must not come any further; that must be left with me. lam to decide whether thece roads shall he made on my lands or not; and I wish you to assent to this word of mine. Mr Bryce: Yes; I assent. If you allow this road to run, it shall be well, and if you doa't allow it to run, it shall be as you say, and it is well, Wahanui: Now, I have written that down in writing, and (banding the pen to Mr bryce) now you, Bryce, sign your name, —Mr Bryce wrote his name, and then Wahanui wrote his name too.

So far the narrative refers to the signiDg ot tne paper, and of course the document will speak for itself when it ia produced, There is presumptive evidence against the probability of the Native" Minister com. mitting the colony to >nch a condition ; it had no purpose to serve, except to increase the power of Wahanui, while it absolutely binds the colony to waive its prerogative of makiog roads (or railways) in any part of New gealand under the Public Works Act. It is a concession so outrageous in i.s character, that we can hardly tnink the Native Minister would tamely place his hand to a document by which the dignity and rights of the colony were surrendered at discretion. But still we say the paper will answer for ib elf. We see, moreover, O the narrative the falsity of the tele gram which was circulated at the time to/ the fffect that To Kooti had released the patty. This was done p obably to justiiy the handshaking business, which caused a cold shudder to run through the colony from end to end. It appears.now that it wat not Te Kooti (who j< a-nobody among the Waikatos) who released the prisoners, but IVatu, Wahanui's brother; no doubt done In ful filmeut of the agreement."

GRAFTON SCHOOL.

Beri6ii8 H"*GKiiro& -"Jfodiniti a 'jl eacher.

Tna qnestion of appointment of a head master to the Grafton School was con sidered at the meeting of the Board of Education this afternoon. A letter was read from Ihe School Committee declining to agree with tho appointment of Mr Mealy, B. A.,andrccomnlendirigthat Mr RichardT. Talbot be selected. The Chairman ttated that Mr, Healy had been, chosen,by tho Inspector for the position On tne ground of his qualifications and attainments, A report from ihe Inspector opposed tho ap pointment on the ground that MrTalhot did not possess the nee: isury qualificationti for the position, and that it would be unwise to promote him over the he^di.of other men : better qualified for the ddties by experieuce and attainments. He considered that if made, it would be a severe blow to education in the district.. A letter was then read from George A. Kennedy, of Stanley street, making charges of a very grave nature against Mr Talbot. The chairman read a dtaftoopy of a letter which he proposed should be sent [to the School 1 Committee, declining to accede to the ap. pointment of Mr ialbot, and insisting upon conferring, the position upon Mr Healy. He also suggrsted that a letter should be sent to the Committee enclosing a copy of the charge', Mr Dargaville spoko in favour of deferring the whole matter until the result of an investigation into the accusations had beeu reoeived. His impression of this letter of Kennedy's was that it had been sent to prejudice their action regarding the selection of a head-master, but they would be very childlike if they allowed it to have any weight until full enquiries had been made, and it 3 truth or otherwise known. If the charges Were not'true, then oo language could be too ntrong in which to characterise such a treach erous, cowardly, and, contemptible stab, He was sorry the accusations had been canvasßed publicly, and asked in Bimple fairness that no action be taken regarding the appointment until they had been en quired into. Mi Goldie agreed with Mr Dargaville on the matter, and while expressing strong doubts regarding the truth of the charges, aaid if he found them to be founded on fact, be would not only vote for tho discharge of Mr Talbot, but, as an Orangeman, he would take steps to have him expelled from the Orange Society. It was ultimately resolved, on the motion of Mr Uoldie, " Tbat the question of the appointment of a teasher for the Urafton Road tchool stand over until Mr Talbot has the opportunity of defending himself to tho commttee and the Board from the very grave charge now made ! him."

The case of Inglis v. Moll r occup'cd the District Cout all day, and is not likely to be concluded to-night,
