Thames, this day. Nkw Prince Imperial.—The western drive at No. G level is 70 feet from tho crosscut, and a similar distance remains to be driven in order to reach the break. Tho reef is 2ft, in thickness, rand a most gratifying show of gold remained in the face near the bottom of tho drive after to-day's breaking-down, promising well for the value of tho block underneath. The specimen stone now on hand amounts to about 3401b5., and some of the latter hauls have been particularly rich. Cambria.—The total return from 20 loads of general dirt is 56ozs. ICiwts. ot gold, which realised the exceptionally good price of £2 18s Id per oz. A cross leador lias been met with in the eastern drive on the main lode, and may beneficially affect the reef, which has lately been rather poor. Queen of Beaotv.—The manager has received instructions to shorten hands, in consequence of the low state of the Com pany's finance.?, and will suspend operations in the Vanguard section, but continue pros pecting in other parts of the mine. Brtcjht Smilk.—A parcel of 401bs. picked stone was lodged in tho bank yesterday after noon, of which about half has been obtained from the stopos at tho intermediate level during the last two days.

THE CALLIOPE DOCK.

The Plans Approved. At a special meeting of the Harbour Board yesterday, the following report from Mr Ware, Consulting Engineer, for the grav ing dock at Calliope Point, was read :— "Auckland, 21st July, 1884.—1n compli ance with your instructions that I should report upon the plans and specifications for the now dock at Calliope Point, as prepared by your Board's Engineer, Mr Emngton, I now have tho honour to submit the follow ing:—After carefully examining the rock levels, as shown by the borings and sections given mo, I am of opinion that a saving would be effected by moving the dock some 40 feet to the eastward, and 30 feet to sea ward of tho site marked on the plans. This alteration of site need not alter the bearing of the dock axis, which I have been given to understand has been fixed by your Board, but by moving the site to the eastward advantage would be taken of the higher rock level along the west sides of the dock, and a consequent reduction in the cost of the coffer dam. In addition to this, the large trial pit already excavated would be fully utilised as part of the excavation of the dock. Tho alteration to seaward would lemon the excavation at the head of the dock by bringing it further out of the hill, and at the entrance a saving would be made in tho roduced quantity of dredging and excavation outside of the coffer-dam. The wooden structure shown on the east side of entrance I do not consider sufficiently durublo for such a position, and would substitute a stone wing wall, similar to that on the west Bido. This would bo more expensive than the wooden breastwork, but as the wall could be built inside of the coffer-dam, tho oxtra cost need not be excessive, and would bo fully justified by tho more substantial nature of tho work. Tho mud and rock outside of the entrance should be loft as a base for tho coffer-dam, and not be removed as specified before starting any other work." I would dispense with the brick wall which is shown along each side of tho dock and which is meant to act as a cofferdam, and to form a portion of the permanent walla. A wall of puddle clay would be more effoctive as a coffer-dam, and certainly much more economical, while the walls of the dock at that height do not require the extra thick ness of brickwork. The brickwork which in built in with tho concrete in tho lower part of the dock (oxcopt the invert under the floor), I consider unnecessary, and wonld dispense with it altogether. I would also l ocommond that the standard of strength of cement bo raised from 300 to 4501b5. per Bquaro inch, and that the proportion of cement in concrote be reduced from 1 in 5 to 1 in 6 for the great bulk of the work ; but for special parts—such aa the rudder nnd pump wells and entrance invert—it be inoreased. There are other minor altera tions in tho work which I have referred to in detail in the revised specifications en closed herewith; and Mr Errington has kindly prepared the accompanying tracings of the plans and sections of the dock, with the alterations I have suggested.—l have, Ac, William Ware, Consulting Engineer." In reply to question?, Mr Ware said that probably a saving of £10,000 would be made by the alterations. He thought the dock should be completed within £120,000. Mr Errington agreed with tho recommendations, but did not believe the saving would bo so great as had been estimated by Mr Ware.—After some discussion, the plans were finally adopted by tho Board, and ordered to bo sent to the Governor for his approval.—When this is received tenders will bo called forthwith in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin.—On the motion of Mr Lamb, it was agreed that the reclamation be not in cluded in tho £120,000 fixed as tho estimated cost of the dock.

A young doctor in Melbourne has got himself into a terrible scrape by an act of negligence in writing out a prescription. An attractive barmaid was knocked down and injured in the coarse of a disturbance at the Waterloo Hotel, on the night of the 30th ult. She was subsequently visited by. Dr. Ounst, junr., to whom she complained of pains in the ear, accompanied by deaf ness and sleeplessness. He wrote out a prescription, which was intended to mean half a grain of morphia in a certain quantity of sugar and milk. But, unfor tunately, he made the fatal mistake of not writing what he meant. Through the omission of a honm-opathic sign, the pre scription read " 10 grains " instead of half a-grain. This large dose of poison the poor girl swallowed, and was a corpse an hour afterwards. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter against Dr. Charles Werner Gunst, and he now stands committed for trial. He volunteered his evidence at the inqnest, and candidly ad mitted that his mistake in writing out the prescription was the cause of the girl's melancholy death. There is a widespread impression that the chemist who made up the prescription and recognised its danger ous character, but did not take the trouble of sending it back for further inquiry, has escaped far too lightly by a mere censure from the coronor's jury. It was elicited in evidence that a bank clerk created the dis turbance in the hotel and gave the deceased girl a knock-down blow. He was, there fore, tho primary oause of this deplorable calamity. A correspondent writes: "The Mayor of Melbourne and City Councillors abstained in a body from attending the Acting- Governor's levee, because precedence was given to tho newly imported officers of the militia. This childish proceeding, on the part of two dozen elderly gentleman, sup posed to be possessed of fair intelligence and common sense, has been a prolific source of laughter during the week. Not that theyare personally to blame for the ridiculous posi tion they have assumed. But they have so long been in the habit of doing everything that- tho town dork advises that a. sugges tion from him is now regarded almost in the light of a command. A threat from Mr Fitzgibbon to resign causes consternation in the Council Chamber. Mayors may come and mayors may go, but Fit?gibbon reigns for ever. Fitz is a stern stickler for corporation privileges, any interference with which is taken as a personal insult. Hence his anger and indignation at finding the militia officers honoured with a higher place at the levee than was accorded to the municipal parliament which he governed." A lecture on "Rum and Crime " was re cently delivered in Berlin by Prison Director K hrone, in which he endeavoured to prove from his extended experience that there existed a closo causal connection between them. Among other things, he stated that 80 per cent, of all the thefts were committed fvom want, produced chiefly by drink. Of the 268,000 cases sentenced in 1881, nearly 70 per cent, were directly traceable to rum; thero being among the sentenced about 17,000 individuals under 18 years of age, who, as he expressed it, grew up in crime, owing to their belonging to families that had been ruined by drink. If to the foregoing are added the majority of the mendicants and vagabonds, of the former of whom nearly 300,000 were sentenced in one single year, and if it is taken into con sideration that, as has been proven, the professional criminals are kept in the ban of crime by rum and drunkenness, it be comes, in the lecturer's eyes, the duty of all goad citizens to combat the dangers to which society at large is constantly ex posed.

RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN VICTORIA.

» , Melbourne, July 4. The final report of the Education Commis sion has been presented to the Acting- Governor. The report deals exhaustively with the present system of education, and contains numerous suggestions for securing improvements in the administration of the Act with regard to the question of religious education. The report recommends that provision be made in the schools curriculum for religious instruction of a non-sectarian character, either before or after the time set apart for secular instruction, with a con science clause for the protection of teachers and children. It is further suggested that those teachers who might choose to give religious instruction to children after school hours should bo permitted to do so. The report is wholly unfavourable to the claims of Roman Catholics. It is pointed out that there is reason to believe that a greater number of Roman Catholic children are attending the State schools than separate schools of the Catholic denomination. In Roman Catholic schools, says the report everything is subordinated to the inculcation of doctrines of the Churcli, it being the first object of the teachers to make children good Catholics. Such being the case, any Day. ment by State to Catholics towards* the education of their children would amount to an endowment by the State to that par ticular form of religion. The report ex presses sympathy with the Catholics in their difficulty, butstatesthatas itis simplya church difficulty, it cannot be remedied by the Government in a country where State aid to religion has been abolished. The aboli tion of night schools is also recommended. The report is signed by a majority of the members of Commission. Mr J ,\V. Rogers the original Chairman, who is now a resident oi Tasmania, has submitted his independent ' report, in which he warmly Bupports the Roman Catholic claims, and this report haa been adopted by Professor McCoy, and three oth ; commissioners are expressing their viow.-s.

THE LATE MR COSTLEY'S MONUMENT.

The superb monument to the memory of the late Edward Costley arrived by the Ofcaki from Aberdeen, and has been placed upon a substantial pedestal in the Church of England Cemetery by Mr J. H. Buchanan, stonemason, of Wellesley - street. This monument is formed of grey granite, sur mounted by draped cap and urn, and the inscription is gold lettered, neatly but not gaudily finished, lift, in height. It is fixed ■ in a pleasant situation by the side of the ' outer path under overhanging trees, and when the surrounding fence is finished it will farm an interesting picture. The fol lowing is the inscription :—This monument is raised to the memory of Edward Costley. He waa eminently successful throughout a long life in business pursuits, and, living temperately and unostentatiously, amassed considerable wealth, which is be queathed equally among seven public end charitable institutions, the Auckland Hospital, the Old People's Refuge, the Par nell Orphan Home, and the Auckland In stitute, the Auckland Free Public Library, the Training School (Kohimaramara), aud the Sailors' Home, thus reliev ing by hi* munificent bequests the sick, destitute, and infirm, the homeless and the orphan, aiding to establish homes for the homeless, to advance science, and to spread a tasto for literature among all classes. Born . Died 18th of April, 1883."
