EASTER VOLUNTEER ENCAMPMENT.

Saturday Aftornoon'a Doings.

Jjt our last issue wo gave an account of tho doings of our Volnntcors at Papatootoo up to Umoe o'clock on Friday afternoon. By ithat tim® the men had follon into thoir duties with .rmnarkable facility, the placing , OT _or arrest of sovorol members of tho A Battery of Artillery on the previous ovoning for giving undue ploy to their animal spirits laving bad a salutary offoct. Captain Jfahon, in his position as camp-adjutant, is a jewel of tho first water, and eminently fitted for the service as a strict discip linarian from his thorough acquaint ance with the somewhat intricate routine ol camp life. Ever ready to give artvico and impart instruction, he has proved himself simply invaluable, and the groat, measure of success that has attended tho Mcampment is greatly due to his efforts. But to return to the duties of Saturday afternoon. Shortly after three o'clock there was a general parado in drill ordor (or outpost and picket duty. There is an eminence to the south-east of the camp, which some oxploring members of the Victoria Company christeued Mount Mahon. Outposts and pickets were formed to the right of the hill, under the command otCartauisLeßoyandDignan. Skirmishers were sent out under command of Captains llahon and Isaacs. Major Shepherd detailed.the duties to the sovoral outposts. Tho country is rather rough, and the Major and Captain Woolfield in galloping ahouton the fluty took sovoral fences in a manner that would have won the praise of ffliyte Melville himself. After the inspection of the pickets the outposts wero supposed to be driven in on the main body .(represented by a half company) by an jmsgtaary enemy. The firing motions wore gone through, and after a gallant re igbtance of about five minutes, ■the enemy were supposed to be completely nnuuished, The bugle thon sound "Cease firing," and the deathless h •**■ were marched back to camp, when - -^f O3 gUdtofind that the casualties lite tea the quarter and «, ' c™ *#• paraded, relieving those w' .«& ** S3i Lens day's duty. m&W **«• *J° Litre Captain P.' *Sfe oncers'of tho Ed tier' .f^n.oftheHobson «3i«offi' -f fl* } V VE> Bennett!

Shortly before 10 eclock I drummer aud fifer paraded the aapfhying lively tunes, and when the , tm_ 10 o'clock arrived tho bugle sounded "lights out," and the camp was at once in dJrtaess, Dwrtiig tho afternoon the Very Bererend Father Walter Macdonald and flußev, Mr Bates arrived in camp, and nwwry warmly welcomed.

The Mayor remarked that a newspaper paragraph bad acquainted him with the fact that the Volunteers had sent Mr Stout a telegram inviting him to visit thoir camp at Papatoitot.

The Mayor and deputation then bado the Premier "Good-day" and took their leave. In the afternoon the Premier went off to Ponsonby, to witness tho Regatta. It is Mr Stout's intention to leave to morrow for tho North.

A NEW GOLD-SAVING APPARATUS.

Mr Lamont the inventor of a process of gold-saving which promises to galvanise into active life mining operations even on the most unremunerative fields, w^s a through passenger to Sydney by tho mail steamer which arrived on Saturday night. Late though tho hour was, Mr Alex. Saunders, who is acting on behalf of a syndicate, at once proceedod to tho steamer, interviewed Mr Lamont and drove him to the Northern Club, where o conference took place with a view to the purchase of the rights of his patent process by the syndicate referred to, which would then be enabled to re-sell to particular mines and battery com panies. Upon this point the Rev. Mr Vines had been previously carrying on negetiations by letter with Mr Lamont, but as he was at the North Shore he w.as not oble to be present on Saturday night. Mr Lamont, at any rate, declined to enter into any arrangement until his return from Australia a fow weeks hence. Meahwhilo some of those interested are anjiouß that tho Government should acquire the rights of tho patent and diffuse its benefits on payment of moderate fees. It is said that the Lamout's process, which is a kind of smelting of the auriferous quartz, has been successfully tested in California, and it is claimed for it that it saves fully 96 per cent of the gold. If this be so, it would be seen how valuable the invention is when it is stated that the present system retains only 33 per cent, of tine gold, and not more than 60 per cent, of it even wher it is course. The effect of the introduction r-f such an inven tion would very likely raise the shares of many gold mines from the few shillings at which they are now quoted to as many pounds. Mr Lamont's return will there fore be awaited with eagernees.

New York, Matt* &— A cablo special to theJ'Sun" "Ti'oin London of the 7th, says : In ajptte of tho ugly look of things, fow seriously oxpect a war with Russia In tho meantime, howover, tho Marquis of Hartington, Secretary of Sl&te for Wdr, tho Dukfl of (Jumbrldfge, com_nrtnt_'o_ in chief of thift toms, aVitl othor high OlSteiult), l\avo ftet[uoht interviews at tho \VAr Office with tho Agontfl-General of the British colonies. Tho first conference was on the 3rd inst. Tho meetings since have been concerned with the question of the colonial defoncos and assistance in tho event of war with Russia. As a result of tho conference tho squadrons of tho Aus tralian and North Pacific stations nre to be re-enforced., . ' th, Inolvkb&is of tlio Russian Embassy in London continue to scout the idea that there is any probability of a declaration of war betwoen England and Russia. Despite the protestations of the Russian Embassy that there is no danger of nn open rupture between Russia and England, some English men of vory conservative tendencies main tain that tlio Afghan situation is roully complicated and sorious, Do Glors, tho Russian Foreign Minister, has beon prompt and explicit In the statement of tho Russian attitude. Tho dispatches ho sout to the British Eoniign Otlico ycetorday, whilo thoy affirm that Instructions havo been sent Rfc England's request to tho Hus sion Commondots to avoid all acta likoly to provoke tho Afghan into hostilities, plainly decline to accede to England's othor request, that tho Russian troops bo withdrawn from thoir prosont advanced posts. Those posts are almost within rillo - shot of tho advanced posts maintained by tho Afghtlns. Tho latterorcnotoriouslyaggres sive. Thoy are said to havo become actually impudent undor tho encourage ment given them by Etiglahtt's tocont ad vice te hold theit gtouhd. It Would bo the oasitsst thtllg In the world for Russian in trigue to secure an offensive act on tho part of tho Afghntts as would justify o 1 battle of dbh)ut_o." Such an engagement wtluld.initiate opon warfare in Afghanistan A St. Poterfburg dispatch to tho "Times" says :—"The Russian Govern mont has sont an official offer to England to withdraw the Russian frontier from the hills bordoring On Herat, but states that it will not retire Its troops from the positions occupied at Hcrforud or -.enjdeh, which, Russia claims, arc essential to hor effectual hold on tho Turcomans. An activo scattering of troops concentrated in Central Asia ia taking place. It is roporrod that troops are moving from tho Caucasus. The " Timos," in a loador, urgos England to occupy ond fortify Horat at onco, and check the Russian advance towards the in terior of Afghanistan at any cost. It says if Russia wishes to fight, England is not only ready, but willing, and Russia has only to say the word. Tho Russian batteries of horso artillery in Turkestan and along tho Afghan frontier have beon increased to bix guns each.

Loyalty of the Indian Population.

Calcutta, March 8 —All the prepara tions for the transportation of troops by railway in tho event of war ore rapidly maturing. The Afghan frontier question is tho prin cipal topic of discussion here, but no anxiety is expressed as to the result. All classes are satisfied with the determined attitude of the English Cabinet, and there is a remarkable and reassuring display of loyalty throughout tho country. The nativo press of India, with scarcely an exception, express loyalty toward England and confidence in tho wisdom and firmness of Lord Dufferin, British Viceroy in India. There are many expressions of anger and hostility against Russia and the Brahmins and Moslems vie in expressions ot contempt for the new religion which they soy Russia would attempt to force upon India. Vienna, March B.—The Governor of the Caucasus has arrived at St. Petersburg to attend the Staff conferences on military movements in Central Asia. It is reported that it is resolved to send an army of 35,000 men from Baku, The "Pall Mall Gazette" says it is believed that the news received last even ing to the effect that the Russians had ad vanced their outposts in Zulpkar Pass further south, instead of withdrawing north, as requested by England, is in correct). The " Gazette " states thot there can bo no doubt but that grave fears entertained of a collision between the Russian and Afghan troops, as this last ad vance placed the opposing outposts face to face, and has taken tho Russians nearer to Afghan territory. There is no indication (says the "Gazette") that the Russians have gone beyond what thoy consider the Afghan boundary line.
