THAMES.

[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

Thames, this day. New Prince Imperial.—The change »f country in the shaft has come in at the north-east corner, showing that a hard bar has probably altered its course. Should this prove bo, it will be easy country for the cross-cut in No. G level*

Kubunui Hill. — The contractors for driving on No. 6 leader Albion 80 feet level to connect with the Herald shaft ia making good headway in favourable country. A cro3s-leader carrying bright mineral has been intersected, but no gold has yet been seen. , Rocky Point.—Gold is seen at eacii breaking of the reef in the low level. Three shifts are to be employed here next week. A stream of water has been cut in this drive, showing probably another reel close at hand.

TE AROHA.

[from our own correspondent]

Tk Akoiia, this day.

New Find. — It is satisfactory to have to record that the newa from this mine is still of a very cheering nature, In the Arizona level the feef in both ends looks very well. The face northwards shows a body of quart* from -i to 5 feet in thickness, with a fair show of gold from wall to wall. In the south end of the lode is nearly as large/and is yielding crushing stuff of good quality. On the No. 2 reef things continue to wear a satisfactory look. The winze is now down abont 13 feet/ The contract width ia 6 feet, and the reef is nearly of this size. Gold is freely visible in the stone in the bottom, and the general appearance of the lode there is exceedingly encouraging. The stopes on No. 2, at well as in the upper and surface workings, con tinue to yield crushing dirt of excellent quality. In the now low level tight country has again been met with. It ia not likely there will be any change until the buck reef has been crossed, anditia still 15 or 20 ahead. About 100 feet have still to be driven to the point where it is expected the reef under the No. 2 winze will be intersected. Colonist.—Work is progressing with the same satisfactory results as heretofore. The rise and winze between the two levels have been connected, and a large extent of the reef is now available for blocking out. Stop inK has already been commenced, and from the size and quality of the reef in this por tion of the mine, large quantities of good crushing dirt will be obtainable. The block in the north end of the low level is yielding a good supply of payable stone, but the lode has lately been rather smaller than before. : It is now, however, increasing in_ size, and will get larger as the cross-cut is neared. Canadian.—The reef has now been fol lowed 15 from the Colonist boundary into the Company's ground, and though con siderably smaller in size than in the adjoin ing claim, has shown gold, more or less, all along. DiamondGully.—The reef whichhasbeen expected for some time is now in hand. It is ut present rather broken, and does not show any gold, but from the appearance of things in the adjoining claims there can be little doubt that it will improvo aa driven on. Eckeka.—Since driving was commenced in the low level in conjunction with the Victoria Company the face has been earned in about 15 feet. The reef is at present larger than usual, measuring about 7 feet in thickness, and a portion of it is being loft on the footwall. The quartz shows a little gold, some of which is of coarse quality. In the intermediate level the vein is less than the average size, but is producing good crush ing stuff. Coquettk.—The drive in which the recent discovery of gold-bearing stone was made being considered too near the surface to he of much advantage in the working of the mine, the extension of it has been discon tinued, and awinzehas beenstartedto prove whether the gold goes downward. Hero.— The cross-cutting of the reef at the bottom of the rise is etill going on, and an occasional colour is visible in the Btone broken out. Tenders have been called for putting in a low level, which will bo started as Boon 08 the trestling across the county tramway is completed. Phcenix.—The cross lode which was ex pected to be cut any time during the past weok has now been reached. There has not been time yet to do any work upon it to prove its value, but some good stone was got in the drive close to the junction two days ago. Inverness.—Another drive is being put in on the roef from which good stone was obtained in the upper part of the claim. The extension of the low lovol has for the present been discontinued, and a rise started on the vein that was driven on some time ago. Alphabet Company.—No official an nouncement has yet been made of the return from the trial crushing of two tons from the small reef in the F section of this Company's ground, but it is understood to bo about 11| ounces of gold, or something over 5 ounces per ton.

COROMANDEL.

(FBOM TUB " COROMANDEJC MAIL.")

The recent crushing ot 52 tons quartz for the splondid return of 170 ozs. gold will stamp tho Matawai as a permanent claim, and very rich in the precious metal, especi ally when it is borne in mind that one man got nearly the whole of this quartz since Christmas, and there is still about 40 tons on hand, estimated to yield 100 ozs. gold ; but the road is in such a state it was im possible to send it to the battery. Moreover tho bulk of this gold came from 40 tons. As there was a parcel of 12 tons only put through us a trial, it was thought to be too good to throw over the tip, and was sent down as a test, and found to average one ounce per ton. With good roads this will pay handsomely, as in any case it would have to be broken out, the only extra expense being for carting and crushing. The mine also is looking first-class, there being a splendid reef showing both on the surface block and the level below.

Matawai, No. 2.—This is tho name given to the now ground lately started alongside tho Matawai. The owners must bo very deficient of the inventive faculty that they cannot coin a name for themselves, but are obligod to copy their neighbour's. How ever they have made a good start, and ovidontly mean business, and we shall bo very glad to hoar that they have struck something valuable before long. The late crushing of tho Matawai, and the present appearance of the reef, is almost sure to give a strong impetus to mining in this district, and we are almost sure to hear of fresh ground taken up and more gold got before long.

Makiebel.—The manager of this mine, Mr. H.utchinson, arrived during the week, and is making vigorous efforts to get things in order for a good start. We believe with skilful and economical management thero is a good future before this mine, for al though it did not pay the shareholders there was a largo amount of gold taken out, and yet comparatively the ground has been only scratched on the surface, and now that the triplo management has boon done away with, all the work can be done much oheaper undor one head. Wo expect to see several of the adjoining claims go to work again before long; it is hardly hkoly the gold is confined to ono claim.

Queen ok England.—Had first-rate trial crushing of four tens and a half for 9J ozs. gold. Tho show just now is even better than that, a remarkably rich prospect being got yesterday. The Manager thinks they are coming on a patch.

Royal Oak.—The Manager reports cut ting the tribute leader in the new low level, about a foot thick. Splendid stone, highly charged with mineral—just like specimen etone.

New Colonial.—Crushed 3J tons for 4 ounces gold—not so good as its neighbour, but still worthy of more trial. The reef is looking well throughout.

Union Beach.—The manager is pushing on the work in the Venus level. Fine reef, and showing little gold. Tokatea.—Work going on very slowly in this mine. Little gold got in stepes. Low level exceedingly hard, Success.—Getting little gold in stopes, but not equal to the mineral indications.

Takapuna Autumn Meeting.

Ths Takapunn Jockey Club Autumn Meeting takes place on Saturday next, and there seems every prospect of it being ranked among its many successes. Since the last meeting, the Club have effected a nurabor of improvements. The judge's box has been shifted forward, so that his daties will not be interfered with,_ and a stand erected along the rails inside the paddock, thereby enabling spectators to fwte on uninterrupted view of the horses in the strftif[ht. At the water jump a sub stantial fence has been put up on each side to prevent accidents, and it will also enable those on the grand stand to see the obstacle without any trouble.

CORRESPONDENCE.

The New City By-law.

(To tbo Editor.) Sir,—The new City Council by-law may be of move public importance than it appears. It may be levelled at street-hawkers, or at the Salvation Army, but the effect will be the same in prohibiting the right of meeting in the public streets. Auckland, since Barrack Hill has-at very great expense to the community—been converted into a flower-gerden, has no public place within the city but the streets where a pub he meeting can be held. Wo have few public halls, nnd these are private property, and not freo to th<i public, bo there is actually no place whera we citizens hava a freo right to meet but the streets or tho Domain, and the Domain ia not con venient for many meetings. The City Councillors should see to this, and before they close the streets to public meetings set aside a piece of vacant ground for these meetings. That piece of city property above Mount-street would do for a make shift, and public money need not be wasted beautifying it, as on Albert Park. It only wants levelling, and to bo put in graaa. However this suggestion may bo valued, I maintain that our Mayor and Council, before they close tho streets against public meetings, should provide sufficient space within the city where citizeng could meet without chargo and ventilate their opinions on any topic. If anyone comes to reside in a busi ness street of Auckland, and parti cularly Queen-street, and expects to escape having bis ears dinned with the calls oi street-hawkers, Volunteer bands, Salvation bands, auctioneers' bells, fire-bella, and church bells, he has made a mistake, and must either put up with the noise or return to the country. As to the Salvationists, they have brought this threatened by-law upon themselves, and upon the rest of the community. They have a very public and lively manner of trying to gain proselytes — a manner which proves very attractive to thatotherlively element, tholarrikins. There come to be encounters between them, and the Salvationists want the police to protect them, but the police cannot bo spared from watching the hotels to at tend such duty, and the Council naturally reason that as the street meetings of the Salvation Army are the inciting cause of the disturbances, the sure cure for the die turbances is to stop their street meetings. The reasoning is good. What sort of an army is it which requires tho police to pro tect it ? The army part of the Salvationists seems all blow, blairing of trumpets, flag flying, uniforms and badges. Why do they not, Tike an army, place sentries round the camp, and if any larrikins break through the lines, lick them.? The idea of an army fifty or a hundred strong asking a solitary policeman to protect itiswonderfullyabsurd. There is another view of this matter. ; Ia not the public entitled to some protection from the Salvationists? If they are con ceded the liberty of meeting on the streate, should they not have the decency to meets in some by-street, or part of a street where they will not incommode the traffic, or pain unwilling ears ? There is not a more favour ite promenade than Queen-street Wharf,and this also ib one of the favourite places where tho Salvationists choose to assemble, ob structing the thoroughfare, and to the annoyance of the public. To many ears thoir language is, to draw it mild, not very testhetic. The words "blood and "hell" ore rather frequent. To my taste to sing in the streets, "I will not go with you to hell," is not _tne correct thing, and to hear young girls sink ing such words is simply shocking. ! we hear occasionally enough of profane lan guage in our streets, and I hope the Salva tionists will soon acquire sufficiont propriety of conduct to reserve their metaphors of blood and talk of hell for indoor meetings, and coase to annoy the better tastocf the community by repeating these sayings in tho streets.—Yours, &c, A Campbell. March 28th.

The most fruitful sources of fires aro—the careless use of matches, candle flame coming In|contaot with window curtains or bedhang ings. the mismanagement of kerosene lamps, and tho leaving of ordinary household lamps untended. Matches should always be kopt on a high shelf out of the reach of children. When employed in stores, warehouses and factories, they should be protected from mice by meanß of proper metal-boxes. Care should be taken not to drop unlightcd matches, nor to throw down unextinguished matches care lessly on tho floor. Never leave a lighted candle unwatchod near hanging drapery, especially if thoro be an Open window in the room. Reading in bed bycandle light is a practice very much to be condemned, and a burning candle should never be suffered to remain after the inmates of the house are asleep. Gas should be turned off at the main when not in use. In case an escape should bo strongly smelt, turn off at onco from the main and set open the doors and windows, but on no account take a lighted candle into the room till the smell has passed off. Never pile up partially burnt wood against the ohimnoy; scores of houses have been burned in thiß way in New Zealand. Never put firewood inside tho fender or on the stovq to dry. Papor, clothing, or similar combustible matorial should nover bo left near tho grate. Ashes should never bo thrown away against a wooden building, or kopt in a woodon box or barrel. The above hints rclato to tho preven tion of fire. When unfortunately a fire does occur, remember that 1101 blanketa and ruge economise the supply of wator, and aro more effectual in preventing tho spread of ft>o than water simply thrown on, and at the same time causo less damago to furniture. In the hurry and confusion of a lire doors and windowß aro too apt to be thrown open ; they should be kept shut as much as possible. Fire can only spread rapidly when it is plentifully supplied with air. Havo your chimneys regularly swept, at fixed intervals; at least unco in three months. WHAT TO DO AFTER A FIRE. The assured must use his best ondeavours to save and protect his property during tho fire and afterwards, and until an officer of the. Insurance Company arrives, he should act precisoly as he would i£ ho had no in surance whatever, i.e., do all in his power TO PREVENT FURTHER LOBS OR DAMAGE. _ This ia especially necessary where the loss is on merchandise or chattels, it being a mistnko to suppose that goods damaged by rj- in con sequence of a fire must bo allowed to remain in the chaotic condition into which a fire generally throws them, to await inspection by tho adjuster. On tho contrary, they should first of all bo removed |if necessary) to a safe, dry place, and everything dono that is requisite to prevent furthor shrinkage of valuos.

The value of this well-known Family Medicine has boen largely-tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, (or upwards of •fifty years.

Purchasers are therefore requited carefully to observe the four following distinctive char acteristics, without which none are genuine :— Ist—ln every case the words John Steed man, Chkmist, Walworth, Surrey, are en graved on tho Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words John Steedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—Tho name Steedman is always spelt with two EE's. 4th—The manufacture is carried on solely in Walworth, Surrey.
