General Mclvor'a Expedition to Now Guinea. London, October 30. General Mclvob continues to persist in his design to form his New Guinea Colonisa tion Company. He denies that he is a British subject, and declares that on his arrival in New Guinea he intends to hoist the foreign flag. Close of the Madagascar Incident. The negotiations which have been going on for some time past between tho Govern ments of England and France in connection with the conduct of the late Admiral Pierre in detaining the captain and officers of tho British inan-o'-war Dryad, and causing the arrest of the Rev. Mr Shaw at Tamatave, have at length been brought to a termination. France has now formally apologised for the conduct of the Admiral—the apology, how ever, being cold and reserved. Lord Gran ville-has intimated that he will accept an apology on behalf of the Imperial Govern ment. Tho Policy of France In Tonquin, M, Lacour, the French Minister for Foreign Afluirs, stated in the .Chamber of Deputies last night that France was deter mined to pursue the policy which he had initiated in regard to Tonquin, and that ho would not be deterred by China. No definite decision was arrived at by the Chamber, but it is certain that the Deputies will sup port M. Lacour in his resolutions. War between France and China is therefore considered to be imminent. French Convicts in tho Pacific. The "Morning Post" and "Pall Mall Ga::etto " contain articles on the annexation question, bearing special reference to the fear expressed by the Australian colonies that France intended to utilise a number of islands of the South Pacific as receptacles for habitual criminals. Both journals ap peal to France to abandon her original in tention with regard to the deportation of criminals. The Annexation Conference. London, November 2. The Glascow Chamber of Commerce has resolved to present a petition to Lord Derby on the subject of annexation in the Pacific. The object of the petition is to induce the Imperial Government to be guided by the result of the Conference to be held at Sydney, and confirm whatever decision the Conference may arrive at on the question. French Operations in Tonquin. Latest advances from Tonquin intimate that China has resolved to defend Bacminh, the town against which the French forces recently marched, but retreated on finding that it was defended by Krupp guns.

GOVERNMENT AND WELLING TON HARBOUR BOARD.

(by telegraph.—press association.)

" Wellington, this day. Government have replied to tho remon strances of the Wellington Harbour Board about Government resuming possession of their reclaimed endowment for the purposes of a printing office site. The Premier says: "Government are not able, as tie law stands, to give the Board any compen sation for the land in question, norto assure them that an equivalent, whether in land or money, shall be given; but they believe that, as a matter of policy, an endowment once triven to a public body such ob the Harbour Board should not bo taken away without reasonable compensation. Government will therefore recommend Parliament next ses sion to amend the law on the subject, so as to cnablo this or any similar case to be dealt with on its merits."

MINING NEWS

(From the " Coromandel MalL")

Homeward Bound.—This claim has lately been taken on tribute by Messrs Hall and party, who intend taking out a block of the leader, from which some very fair crushing material has been taken; in fact, as much as six ounces to tho ton was taken out of a winze sunk on this leader. Mr Hall has also leased the Emily Battery on very favourable terms, so that if there is only a very small percentage of the precious metal in tho stuff, it should pay handsomely. The party also intend giving a thorough test to a largo reef in tho same neighbour hood, which has yielded a fair snow i. former' trials, but not quite enough to pay. Pawl's Creek.—Mr Murphy's party have found a small leader while prospecting, from which some small bits of rich stone have been obtained. It is striking through rather hard country, but it is being followed up, as it is thought to bo a branch from a larger ono. Very good dish pros poets are got occasionally.

Kapanga.—Small patches rloh specimens havo been obtained every broaking down, but nothing of any importance has been found lately.

New Corby, — This company is still driving on a good leader. On the bottom level there appears to be everything de sirable but the gold, which is very scarce. A survey has lately been made of under ground workings, andit is found that a much longer distance will have to bo driven to come under tho old shot of gold than was at first supposed, but the manager is very sanguine of picking up something before reaching that spot.

Success. —Tho usual work is going on in this mine, and small dabs of gold got occasionally. They appear to be taking rather a poor portion of the reef, but both tho manager and men are sanguine of getting another rich patch before long.

New Colonial.—The manager reports cutting a small leader, from which very good prospects can be obtained by dish washing. He intends to drive on it a bit to see what it is like, and, if it shapes well, will put in a lower drive.

Queen of England.—Getting out stuff showing excellent dish prospeots. Aa soon as tho road is finished, will havo a trial crushing.

Tokatea.— In No. 7 level, the ground is somewhat easier, and snoots better. There are several stringers coming on the hanging wall, and a somewhat mullocky leader in the face. Tho lovel is now nearly up to whore the foot-wall branch should junction. Tho stopes in intermediate level are turning out more promising looking stuff. The stopes in No. 7 levol are follow-' ing what appears to be a new-run of gold, which is making into the back of the drive. A littlo gold shows every breaking down, and a few pounds picked stone occasionally. The battery is crushing a small lot of stuff on hand, and the Berdans are grinding some old blanketings.

Union Beaoii.— There is a fine leader nearly 18 inches thick in winze on Darnel's loader. About 50 feet has been sunk in the stopes on the new leader. The usual class of stone is coming but, and no doubt will crush fairly. There is a splendid reef in SO feet level driving on Venus Reef, some of tho stone being just like specimen stuff. The manager is very confident this will turn out all right in prospecting about on tho surface Good dish prospects are got from a three foot reef supposed to be tho Venus.

United.—The shareholders are bringing along the last stopo of the block thoy have been taking out, and a very short time should now see it en route for the mill.

Jcst-in-Time. — The rise is up nearly 50 feet, carrying a splendid leader all the way, and an intermediate level has been put iii somo distance eaoh way to test its valuo, but so far it is not up to the mark. The battery has been crushing for some time on various parcels of stuff, but, un fortunately, they are not quite payable. Gold Struck at the Tiki.—There is a rumour of some rich gold being got in this neighbourhood, but nothing definite is known, and it is considered very doubtful.

San Francisco, October 20. Sir Sydney Waterlow and lady left San Franciscolor China and Japan on October llth. Mrs Langtry has arrived at New York.

The newspaper rivalry in New York, originating in changes in the management' of the "World," lias grown very fierce. The "Herald" and "Times" are reduced to 2 cents., leaving the "Tribune" and "Journal of Commerce" the only high priced papers. Hanlon has made this proposition on Sept. 20:—"I am ready to bet 0,000 dollars I can row three miles faster than any man alive, or I will match myself against six picked oarsmen of the world to row six one-mile races on six suc cessive days ; each race for 1,000 dols."
