[kkuter's telegrams. 1

General Gordon Appeals for Private Aid. London, April 21. It has transpired that Sir Samuel Baker recently received a letter from General (Jor don, describing the state of affairs in the Soudan, and tho position of the garrison at Khartoum. In the course of the letter Gor don Pasha proposes, in view of the inaction which is being displayed by the British Go vemment in the matter, that an appeal should be at once made to wealthy English men and Americana to contribute towards funds for defraying the expenses of a body of Turkish troops, whoso services should be engaged to cover the retreat of the Egyptian garrisons at Khartoum and other fortified towns in the Soudan.

A Press Association message says :— General Gordon ha 9 written to Sir Samuel Baker, under date Stli inst., stating that ho has provisions for five months at Khartoum, and a garrison of 500 determined men, besides 2,000 rag-totr. He says that he is beseiged by tho Arabs, and suggests that thi. plutocrats of England and America should contribute £2,000,"00 for the pur poso of hiring 2,000 Turkish Nizams (regu lar troops), which should bo despatched to Berber, under the command of Zebhr Pasha. Berber Surroundod by Rebels. Caiho, April 20, Intelligence has reached here showing that the hostility of the Arab tribes in tho neighbourhood of Berber has in no way diminished. An attempt was recently mado by 300 refugees from Shendy to reach Berber by sailing down th. Nile, but the boats were attacked, and all the re fugees wero massacred. Despatches from the Governor of Berber have been received announcing that the town is in a most critical position, being entirely surrounded by Arab rebels. The Governor is in despair, being unable to retreat, and not having received aid which wag looked for. General Oordon Acta on his Own Re sponsibility. Londox, April 21. It has transpired that General Gordon has telegraphed from Khartoum to the British Government, announcing that he intends honceforth to act according to his own discretion as regards affairs in the Soudan. Intended Evacuation of Khartoum. April 10. Advices received from Goneral Gordon, Khartoum, are to tho effect that pro visions' are plentiful, and that ho re gards tho capture of the town as very improbable. Further despatches from General Gordon stoto that he intends to evacuate Khartoum unless speedily re lieved. Osman Digna, leador of the rebels in the eastern portion of the Soudan, and who was recently reported to be missing, has dispersed folloirers, and is now stated to be parleying with tljo chiefs who have hitherto shown themselves friendly towards the British.

General Gordon's Intentions. General Gordon, who is at present in Khartoum, hopes to be able to fulfil his en gagement with the King of the Belgians ip September, and proceed to the Congo on the mission started by Leopold 11. to open up trade with Central Africa.

THE HON. MR MITCHELSON'S OVERLAND JOURNEY.

Bis Opinion of the Central Route.

Br tho yesterday afternoon's train from tho Waikato, there arrived here the Hon. E. Mitchelson, Minister of Public Works, acoompanied by Mr Knorpp, C.E. As our readers aro aware, Mr Mitchelson ever since he took office, has been desirous of making himself personally acquainted with tho soveral routes proposed for tho North Island main trunk line of railway. In conformity with this desire, Mr Mitchelson has just completed the arduous overland journoy between tho Empire City and Auckland. He determined that the eontral route should bo the first lino in spected, and on the 7th inst. he started on his journey, accompanied by Mr Knorpp. A coach oonveyed the party to JToxton, and thence rail was taken to Marton. There they woro met by Mr Roehefort, the surveyor of the central route, who gave all tho information neces sary to enable the Minister to find tho various points of the line. On tho Bth inst. the party left Marton in torrents of rain, and travelled by Murray's track to Pckiore, arriving there after sunset. On Wednesday, tho 9th, the day was spent in examining the bush between Marton and the Patea country along the banks of the Rangi tikei and Hautapu rivers. On the follow ing day left Pokioro for Adanjson's clearing,the trackrunnJngtl.rou_.li tho bush for a distance of 45 miles, arriving there after sundown. Tho ljth was spent in examining the country around, includ ing the Patea country, and the party ascended tho trig, hill known asTahirangi, from v. hich point a splepdia view was obtained of tho whole of the bush country between Adamson's clearing and tho westorn side of Ruapehu. In the even ing of that day they camped under the Kaimanapoa Ranges, immediately oppo site Ruapehu. On the 12th, Tokaanu at the edge °t Tjake Ta»P°> was reached, and on the 13th the party left Tokaano for Mangatepopo at tho foot of Tongariro. On the 14th Whangamariuo was reached, and from the hill known as Halujngatahi a magnificent view was obtained of the wooded country at the S.W. side of Ruapehu.and along the line up as far as Taumaranui. On the 15th the party ar rived at Moerangi at the edge of tho bush, where tho Puketapu track enters. On the 16th a native village named Ngapoki on the bank of the Pungapunga Creek, in tho Tuhua .country, was reached ; on the 17th the party reached Tanjurinui, the place where Moffat was killed. Here they found the natives greatly distressed at the Europeans endeavouring to force theft way into tip Tuhua country searching for cold. On the following d(?y (the 18th) Wai-nihi was reached, and.on the next day the party stopped at Kuiti, in the \S ai kato country, j-rriving at K_.h,kih f on Sun day last. Tl,e line it?elf it about m good a /oute for a railway as could be obtained anywherp. Tlje steepest gradp wouM he Übout one in eighty, and . >P cost should not exceed £5,000 per mile. The totjl length of the line from Marton tfl Tp Awaroutu would be about 200 miles. SJr Mitehelson's object was not only to see the line, but to inspect tlje country on either side, consequently the route taken by the party was a zig-zag. This made the distanco travelled between 500 and 600 miles. Should Parlia ment decide on the central route, the distance by rail between Auokland and Wellington would be 420 miles. Mr Mitchelson and his companion ivcro exceedingly well ' sceived by tho natives met with duri r the journey, the Minister's perfect knowledge of their lan guage standing him in good stead. In the Upper Wanganui district, the natives stated that they had been looking for a prospector named Barry with the inten tion of turning him back. The Govern ment expect that in tho course of a year the Maoris of this locality will not offer any objections to the prospecting of their country, and believing as they do that any attempt to search for gold sur reptitiously will destroy the present harmonious relaii-ms it is probable that they will for the ;.:c-.nt assist the natives in preventing Europeans from prospecting. Mr Mitchelson returns to Wellington overland to-morrow. He will go South via Mokau, and so be in a position to report on the West Coast route.

NEW RAILWAY STATION FOR AUCKLAND.

Mr. Mitciielso.n' lias kept the promises he made to tho Auckland representative bodies in January, and has pushed on the prepara tion of the plans for the new station build ings at Auckland with so much expedition that he has brought them back with him all complete for tendering. This afternoon, at half-past two, he met the President, Vice President, and several members of the Chamber of Commerce at Messrs L. D. Nathan & Co. 's store, where the plans had been placed for inspection. They comprise commodious buildings, erected generally upon the design prepared by Mr O'Connor when in Auckland, thebuildingsbeingplaced on either side of the lines of rails, with en trance into a side street. They will be con venient for traffic, and will effect a wonder full improvement upon the unsightly recla mation which has so long disfigured the entrance to the city. The estimated cost is about £25,000. Mr Mitchelson is, we believe, prepared to call for tenders at once. The design meets with approval by the mercantile public. The pissenger station building will be a very handsome erection, two stories high, a neat tower surmounting the central en trance from tho new street running parallel to Custom House-street. lhe length of the building will be about 240 feet, and on either side will run plat forms, one 1000 feet and the other 1100 feet in length. The only alteration in the building as previously designed is that the Queen-street entrance will bo through a handsome archway. Along tho Queen street ond of the station there will run a handsome concrete wall with iron entrance gates for passengers and car riages. The plans were inspected by the President, Vice-President, and other mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce to-day, and were approved of by them.
