THE UNEMPLOYED.

Tuk number of applicants for relief that i, re ff»ited on Mr Ewington, Chairman of tie Executive Committee of the Benevolent Society, during the past tow days, leave no mestioa of the genuineness of tho distress Lfprevalentinthecity. Sonumeroueindeed haveithey '3een that Alr Ewington has found tint these visitors take up too |much of his time, and he has been compelled to decline toseeany of the unemployed after nine in morning or before four in the afternoon. ftro cases of particular hardship were brought under his notice today. One was that of sn enginoer named A. Burgoyne, vrbobas been out of work for four months, jndbas a consumptive wifo. So severely did he feel the pinch of poverty that lie had been compelled to pawn bis (uoii, This caso was referred to Mrs Calder. The Becond caeo waa that of J. Messenger, who has a wife and six children, mid is utterly penniless, having been out of work for four and a-half months. The othor Jay his wife increased his responsibilities by presenting him with twins. Some temporary relief was given. Wo are informed by His Worship the Mayor that only seven men have applied to the Chair man of the Mount Eden Highway District for employment as stono-broakers. This si tho first blush would soom to show that i number of the unemployed belonged to (be class " who are always looking for work and praying that they might not find it," but on investigation it appears that many men who are willing to take the em ployment offered havo neither the stone breaking tools nor the money to purchase them. Here is an opportunity for the bene volently-inclined. Subscriptions loft at this office for a " tool fund " will be duly acknow ledged and handed over to the Benevolent Society, to bo expended in the purchase of hmmers, etc, for deserving workmen. No reply has yet been rocoivod from tho Go vernment to the communication sent to them, A meeting of tho unemployed is to beheld at the Choral Hall on Frfday even ing next, to which momborß of Parlia ment and tho clergy havo been invited. Besides the men out of work, their wives md children will be present. Mr Ewington hopes on Saturday to be in possession of information that will be useful in administering organised ieUe?. During the day two members of the Unemployed Committee wore engaged obtaining signatures of persons out of work. TheJists were placed on tables at the wharf and attho Theatre Royal Corner. At three o'clock wo were informed that over 400 ligaaturos had been obtained, and further tint the Committee has cautioned those wio had signed that thoy only wanted the name of those absolutely in distress for want of employment.

The San Francisco Mail Service.

The first of the now steamers under tho last San Francisco mail contract—tho Mararoa—ia due to arrive here this evening about _7 P.m., which would give her 4 daj« in which to make the run from Sydnoy. This gives tho excellent average of over 13J knots an hour. A des cription of the Mararoa's voyage so far v flobarfc appears in our snipping column. Sho ia expected to leave for San Francisco about 2 a.m., and owing to her short stay in port, the Union Company announced that tho public can not on this occasion bo admitted on board. The Alameda left San Francisco two days after time-tablo date, on tho 23rd ultimo, and therefore a 20 days passage would bring hor horo on Sunday next. That would be one day fatter than tho time usually occupied by the Australia, Zealandia, and City of Sydney, but the agents expect that tho Alameda will still further shorten the journey by putting in an appearance on Saturday next. Tho third steamer en gaged for tho service is the Mariposa, which will leave San Frarcisco for this port four weeks after the Alameda. It may be remembered that when the Russian war Karewas at its worst the British Govern ment were considering the advisability of purchasing these two vessels as armed cruisers, for which thoy aro especially luitable. They are over 3,000 tonß register, ■team 16 knots on a consumption of 60 tons of coal per day, and are capable of being driven np to 18 knots. They are a little over two years old, built at Philadelphia, extra strong, with hurricane dock flush fore and aft, fitted up handsomely in every respect and lighted by the eleotrio light. They «c owned by the Ooeanic Company, of which the principal shareholder and direc tor ia Glaus Spreckles, the Sugar King of Ban Francisco. The cost of those steamers wag about 400,000d015. each.

The object for which the abovo-nnmod Com pany has been formed is the working of tho mine formerly known as the Golden Calf. The position of this mine, adjoining as it does the once famous Caledonlon, and its prospects are so well known, that it is unnecessary to say any thing in its favonr, further thin in ih» opinion of many mining experts, well acquainted with the mine, as also with that of the surroundina mines, tho lost famous run of gold in the Caledonia will bo discovered in it. This opinion is further strengthened by the fact that all efforts to pick up the said run of gold in tho other adjoining mines have failed, and as then- can ho little doubt but that the said rioh run of gold has not died out, the strong probabilities are that it will be found in this Company's mine, in fact, many are positively of that belief. Tho present proprietors of the Company now offer to the public 8,0(10 shares in the capital of the Company, at 2s 6d per share, the entire pro oeeda from which, less brokerage and the forma tion of the Company, will be placed to the Company's credit This amount will, it is considered, be more than amp o to fully pros peot and thoroughly open up the mine ; nor must it be forgotten that payable quartz, irre spective of any rich run of gold, is almost certain to be obtained not long after operations are commenced. In which ca°e portion of the money now to bo subscribed may hereaftertorm portion of a dividend to be deolared.
