MINING NEWS.

w I COKOMANDEL. |From the Coromandei, "Mail."] Matawai. — There is a splendid reef in the drive going south, but nothing in the shape of specimens has been got lately. The general stuff is expected to crush well. The drive north has nearly holed through to tho gully. There is no stoping going on at present. Matawai IS to. _.— The low level is making good headway. Thse is a good deal of water, proving they are getting well into the hill. This drive will be watched with great interest, as it will go a long way to prove what may be expected in the deep ground. Central.— The drive to cut Vaughan'a reef is making good headway here also, and from the appearance of the country they should get some gold when the reef is tapped, especially when it is remembered gold has been got a very short distance away. Vizards.—The manager is getting out payable stuff, and has a splendid reef in the face. Union- Beach.—We hear of nothing very important from this mine. The tributers are showing a good deal of activity, and will evidently give the ground a fair trial. Some of them arc getting a little gold, but none of the rich stuff this mine used to be famous for.

Kal'ANCia. —They have a splendid reef in hand in the intermediate level showing a little gold, and now they have got it pretty well opened up we should hear of gold being got. Tho weather having taken up a little lately has had a decided effect on the volume of water to-day. '

Rovai. Oak.—They have a good reef in hand in low level, but no gold. The manager is of opinion that the shot of gold may have hugged the big reef and they are not far enough in.

PONSONBY BAPTIST MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.

"Being equal to the occasion in relation to success," was the subject of an essay read on Thursday at tho Ponsonby Baptist Mutual Improvement Association by one ot the members. Ther. was a good attendance of members and visitors. The essayist, at the outset, stated that his main object on the present occasion was to present a few conspicuous examples of some of those who possessed tho faculty of rising to the occa sion in opportunities presented to them in battling with the affairs of life. Of these there were many bright examples, both in the commercial and literary world Samuel Smiles, the popular author of the present day, was one of these. Smiles, whose parents were in very humble circumstances, plodded onwards with characteristic in dustry until he became a qualified medical man, and subsequently one of the best writers on a multiplicity of subjects England ever produced. William and Robert Chambers, the world-famed publishers, were prominent instances of what energy, perseverance, and rectitude could accomplish under great difficulties. Both these brothers were almost penniless when they opened a second-hand small book stall in Edinburgh, nearly GO years ago. Gustavo Dor., Gambetta, the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Beaconsfield, and others were adverted to as illustrious examples of what men of firm determination and progressive proclivities could accom plish in raising themselves from walks ol obscurity to positions of eminence and honour in various departments of life. The essayist was highly complimented upon hit production. At tho close of the proceed ings it was announced that Mr G. W. Owen would, this (Tuesday) evening, give a lecture on " Travels and Researches in America."

DISTRIBT COURT.- Yesterday.

(Before His Worship 11. G. Seth Smith, Esq. District Judge.) DEFENDED CASES.

J. R. Rander6on v. New Zealand Tobacco Co. —Claim, £00 10s, rent of office.—Mr Thos. Wooc (on behalf of Mr Beale) for the plaintiff; Mr C. _;. Button for defendant.—This case was heard, at a previous sitting of the Court, and His VVor ship now gave judgment, lie said that the question indispute was rent for occupation of an office. It appeared that after the formation ol tho defendant Company, they advertised their place of business as at theollicein question, and it. bad to be decided, therefore, whether during ihat peiiod they became tenants of the plaintiff It appeared that Mr Vollbracht engaged the office, and as. according to his statement, he bad in some mysterious way brought the Com pany up from Wellington with him. he forth with announced the office as that of the Sew Zealand Tobacco Co. It was some time subse quently, however, before the defendant Company was formed, Vollbracht then becom ing working manager of it. From this time the defendant Company evidently became tenant. o( the plaintiff, and plaintiff seemed to have contemplated their substitution for Vollbracht as tenant, inasmuch as he made out account against them, which, however, he never sub mitted. The Company all through, however, i( tenants at all, were tenants of Vollbracht, seeing that, in settling accounts with him, the. allowed him a certain amount in consideration of the office rent, which they assumed he had paid, but which he had no? paid. It seemed clear, therefore, that any tenancy which had been created was with Vollbracht, and not the Company,—MrWocd, on plaintiffs part, elected to take a nonsuit; costs. £3 7s. Circus Troublics,—Henry Eccles v. XV. B. Scott; claim, £36 10s, for services rendered.— Mr Dufaur for plaintiff, and Mr S. Heskcth for defendant. — Tho plaintiit some six months ago was engaged to act as advance agent of the Great World Circus, hi which capacity he served during the circus tour from Wanganui to the Waikato. IJe was sud denly dismissed, and on being subsequently engaged to negotiate the sale of the circus, a »ale which he arranged was not completed. The remuneration expected thorefrom was accord ingly lost. He therefore sought to recover—(l) compensation in lieu of proper notice of dis missal ; (2) money that should have been paid him as passage money from Auckland to Wel lington ; 13) commission in respect of arrange ment for sale ot circus.—Mr Dufaur stated that plaintiffs duties as advance agent were to travel in advance of the circus ' billing" tho towns, advertising the com pany generally, and making all arrange ments for their comfort and convenience as well as promoting their businees.- Harry Eccles, who said that he had been follow ing tho oocupation of advance agent foi theatrical and circus companies for nearly 11 years past, deposed that he was engaged b\ defendant as advance agent for his Great World Circus [circus poster produced with plaintiff's name at foot as "contracting agent"]. He was engaged by means of a letter sent to him by the defondant. Messrs Johnson and Lazallo were managing the circus at the time for defendant. He was residing at Wellington as agent for Miss Georgie Smithson when the letter of engagement arrived. In consequence of it he remained in Wellington until defendant camo there, when he told him that he could not join the circus for a fortnight That was about the oth of February last. Johnson had pre viously offered witness £G per week, and defendant romarked that it was rather high. Witness replied that it was tho lowesi salary ho had ever worked for. Defendant then engaged him, told him that he intended to send on the oircus to Christchurch in charge oi Johnson, and asked witness to let him know when ho was ready to start, Johnson subse quently instructed him to be at Wanganui in time to receive the Company upon their arrival there to play through tho raco ECason. He met tho Company at Feathcrston about a week afterwards, aijd in a conversation with defen dant was assured that his engagement was to coiumeneo at Wanganui it' that was where Johnston had told "him to meet tho Company. Witne-s further stipulated that wherever the show broke up his passage should be paid bad; to Wellington. Defendant asked if John son hal agreed to this, and on witnes replying in the affirm itivc he added: "Whatever Mr Johnfon does is just as good as if 1 did ifmyself." Witness then asked for a writ en agreement, hut defendant declined, saying that his word was good enough, and' that no member of bis Troupe had a written en gagement. He waived this point therefore, went on to Waneanul, and did the preliminary work there. When the Company arrived Soott and Johnson persuaded him to consent to tho reduction of his salary from £6 to £5 per week, other conditions remaining as before Whilo the Company wore playing in the Wai kato he received a letter from Soott terminating his engagement, and on applying to Ellis the treasurer of tho Company, that person said that he had simply been instructed to pay him up to the dato of his leaving, which was in the middle of a week. Ho objected to this, and stated that he should insist upon payment in lieu of a week's notico and the amount of his passage back to Wellington. Subsequently he was em ployed to negotiato the sale of the circus and after some trouble and expenditure he managed to find a purchaser in a Mr Langtry, who offored £200 for the whole concern. The offer, howe.er was not taken up by defendant. The Company broke up at Avondale. and the circus was sold by Messrs Hunter and Nolan for £121.—Frank Willmott deposed that he had been connected with the profession for about four years and dmh.g tho last two and a-half years he had been manager and proprietor of the Dramatic Com pany at present playing in the Opera House i, was the custom in the profession for a 'ori_ii_h__ notico to ho given in case of citl'-r uismis-i] or retirement from a company. Payment of pas sage back to a specified town was often made a special condition loan engagemen , especially by Australian actors coming to New tt.aland - Reginald Kede, comedian, gave corroborative eyidence.-A.ter tho evidence of Orlando Ma-zoleni hadl been taken His Worship reserved judgment till Monday nevt.

"One who listened" informs us that an amusingdiscussion took place at thePonson by Baptist Young Men's Class on Thurslay, on the word "Beaconsfield." One prominent member rather dogmatically insisted that ' Baconsfield" was tho proper pronunciation. Another speaker, said facetiously no doubt that his friend must have lived either at Beaconsfield or Great Marlow, and familiar ised his taste with Buckinghamshire bacon I Three members asserted that "Beconsfield was more seemly, and in accordance with the provincial way of talking: for instance, Buckinghamshire farmers always called their member '' Mr Diseraully." It W as at length referred to the Chairman (Mr Hay), who gave his casting vote in favour of "Beaoonsfleld." The whole closed with Hht. Doxology,

Writing in Schools.

(To the Editor.) .ir,-— At the last meeting of the City Schools Committee, a member said that VlrO'Sullivan, tho ChieflnspectorofSchoo's, md informed him that " he was not wedded :o Vere Foster's system of writing." Speaking of this the other day, a school master said. "It may bo that he is not •eedded, but there is abundant evidence of -reach of promise." A young lady capped t by saying, " It had certainly been a rather ,ong engagement." And another, knowing ;he Inspector's partiality for fads, remarked " That she hoped he would be off with the aid love before he was on with the new." A superannuated teacher said, "A'ereFoster lias certainly been the old man's darling for i long time, and it is a shame to cast her _ff now she has become unfashionable."—l am, &c, Tatler,
