OUR GOLDFIELDS

(by telegraph—own correspondent.)

Thames, this day. Nbw Albubnia.—The quartz coming to band from the rise on the Sons of Freedom reef is likely to prove payable, as colours of gold are frequently observed. Saxon.—The reef in the stopes at No. 4 level shows colours of gold occasionally, but very little picked stone has been ob tained during the last few days. The quartz, however, is payable. Auckland. —The quartz from the winze hich has been started on the reef is being saved for treatment. Colours of gold are seen when breaking down. New Prince Imperial.— The winze from No. 2 level on No. 1 reef has been sunk 5 feet, and it is probable a heating down will take place to-morrow. Very little gold is seen in the stopes, but the manager is hopeful that it will go down. Cambria. —151bs of picked stone were obtained late yesterday afternoon from a new leader cut in the crosscut at No. 3 level. It is 3or '4 inches thick, and colours of gold were pretty freely discernable through the whole of the quartz. Driving has been started on the leader nine inches thick, reported as having been intersected in the crosscut some time ago. No .quartz has yet been broken down, the men being engaged in stripping it. The country is a favourable sandstone. Another parcel.of lOlbs of picked stone was obtained to-day from the new leader at No. 3 level. During the past fortnight 167 loads of quartz have been crushed for 150ozs. of gold.

Proposed Experimental Plant.

AN APPEAL TO AUCKLAND.

Thames, this day.

Strong endeavours are being made to raise the necessary wherewithal for the erection of the proposed experimental plant in connection with the School of Mines at a cost of £1,250. Subscription lists'have been prepared and a start was made to collect yesterday with very satisfactory result. It is generally considered, however that Auckland should also assist.being largely interested in the progress of the mining industry. The Government have promised L6OO, provided that the remainder is raised by sub scription, while the Bank of New Zealand has also agreed to contribute LIOO. This leaves L 550 to be . collected, and there seems every likelihood of Ll5O being subscribed locally. It is confidently anticipated here that the balance of L4OO will be forthcoming from Auckland, in the event of which the proposal can be brought to a successful issue. Should Aucklariders not assist, however, the whole matter will probably lapse, and thus would be lost to the district one of the most desirable in stitutions, viz., a plant by which its com plex ores could be tested with a view to ascertaining how they can be most profit ably and economially treated. . Mr Bruce, secretary of the School of Mines, left lor " Auckland last night in connection with the fitter.

&he drawing (by permission) for some ■ liable books, tickets of which have been ', Saot nearly UP to fche number, will take I | „ Vmorrow at the office of the •« Mana ; I m Onehunga, at 8 p.ml

SEAMEN'S STRIKE.

Tbc Steamer Wellington De-

tamed.

Although it was understood that the Northern Steamship Company had secured non-Union men to take the place of the Union crew discharged from the s.s. Wel lington, that vessel was unable to leave for Whanga-rei according to time-table last evening, the old crew having left the Wellington in the morning and the crew that were supposed to have been shipped yesterday did not put in an appearance up till 7 p.m., the time an nounced for sailing. The departure of the Wellington was postponed until this even ing, the reason given by the Company being that the weather was so unfavourable that cargo could not be landed yesterday. The movements of both the Union and the Company were carried out quietly, and there was no display of any kind, ex cept that a small number of seamen and others collected in groups at the wharf, dis cussing the possibilities and probabilities of the strike. Constable Lamb Avas also on the spot, but his services fortunately were not needed.

During the day the Northern Company put out and loaded cargo by the Welling ton with the assistance of lumpers. It is understood that seamen and firemin have been engaged, and that the steamer will leavo for Wangarei at 7 this evening.

A THAMES LICENSING DIS PUTE.

Bifctfton y. Douglas and Co

Tins was an action in the Supreme Court for mandamus against the Thames Central Licensing Committee to compel them to hear plaintiffs application for renewal of license, and grant the necessary certificate. In the Licensing Court, the Committee had said that the house did not afford proper accommodation, and adjourned the case for a week for Burton to meet the objection. At the adjournment the Chairman refused the license without a definite reason, but in sinuating odat it was because the house was not required. Mr Burton's solicitor then asked for another adjournment to meet this new objoction, which was refused, and in consequence the above ac tion was taken, and would have been heard to-day (Wednesday), but, to suit the convenience of counsel, it was taken late on Monday last. Mr Cotter (instructed by Mr Lush, of Thames) appeared for Mr Burton, and Mr Button for the Commissioners. The plaintiff withdrew claim for mandamus to compel the issue of certificate, and only asked that the committee be ordered to hear the case. The plaintiffs right to this was not disputed by Mr But ton, and the judge ordered the writ of man damus to issue. As to the costs, after hear ing both counsel at some length, His Honor reserved his decision.

FIRE AT CAMBRIDGE.

(by telegraph—own correspondent.)

ELECTION NOTES.

Marsden Addressed l»y Dlr Bloat*

Mr Moat addressed about seventy elec tors in the Aratapu Hall on Saturday even ing. Mr Thomas Webb occupied the chair. Mr Moat explained that he voted against the reduction of members because it would make districts, such as this, too large for a member to make himself acquainted with. His proposals for retrenchment were—Go vernor to receive L 5.000 only ; Ministers to have less pay and no Wellington resi dences ; Sir G. Grey's reduction of Ministers to four might be worth a trial; Upper House members to be reduced to half present number, with re duced honorarium ; members to be elected by House of Representatives; Lower House members to receive Ll5O honorarium ; Civil servants to be reduced in number ; defences and volunteers cut down one-half ; one steamer 'to be sold. He had lost faith in the property tax and thought it should be done away with. He preferred Sir George Grey's land bill to Mr Ballance's. He was a free trader, and would only support the necessary Custom's revenue being levied so as to aid local industries. He would be no party to curtail the present educa tion system in any way, though it might be possible to. effect some saving in that department. He supported the present Licensing Act, and would also support the placing of the power to close hotels in the hands of the ratepayers, a step which he believed was contemplated. He opposed the Eight Hours Bill because he thought it, as drawn, would be useless. He asked for no pledges, but desired each elector to give his suffrages to the one whom he considered would serve them best. In answer to questions he said he would support the continuance of subsidies to local bodies. Would oppose any increase in taxation unless it was shown to be absolutely necessary. He would endeavour to have a bill brought in to put a stop to the truck system. Pensions were put a stop to in 1872 owing to the exertions of Mr W. Swanson. Did not think Bel lamy's should be abolished. On only three occasions had he seen members under the influence of liquor in the House. A vote of thanks for addresses and past services was unanimously carried. Mr Wargavilie at Eiashii.

A well-attended meeting of the electors vjfis held at Messrs Mitchelson's place in the Kaihu tiaxmill settlement yesterday at 2 p.m., to hear Mr Dargaville, one of the candidates for Marsden. Mr Dudding took the chair. The candidate appeared to thoroughly interest and please his audience. Mr Hay moved, and Mr Trounsen seconded, " That this meeting, having heard Mr Dargaville, and most of us having known that gentleman for so many years, we are convinced that no fitter representative for the whole of Marsden can be found, and we respectfully invite the settlers and working men throughout the electorate to join with us and vofce for him as one man." The motion was carried unanimously, with acclamation.

Fort-street, Auckland, July 20,15T,1 TO THE EDITOR: j Sir,—As a number of my political:eneihi* have, I believe, suggested, in order to!acco4^ for my somewhat singular manner of adrao1 cinq my candidature for Eden, that lanieithei trembling on the verge of insanity, or haya already become a fitting subject for adiniseioi to the Whau Asylum, and as I have the best'of all reasons for believing from the receipt of' large number of touching and ansioualetW from a number of my well wishers and fcien^' that a similar ideahas somehowor other foundi place in their minds, I think it neoessarj as a "tactician" alike to , re-assure ij friends and to gratify my enemies by the p» sentation of something like reliable evidence^ respect to this interesting question. Inmya; plain that I have had occasion to place myMH jn the hands of a well-known aiithtoitj ii medical science in Auckland, in ohfei to obtain his assistance to countered the somewhat disagreeable effects I expetlfenbefl, in consequence of the enthusiastic reMp. tion I received at the Opara House! At our first interview I, may say thatiij was touch and go between the " old colonial* and the doctor, that they had not a split' but we have now , shaken down I ■ think into very good friends. I think it will)* admitted, even by my enemies, thatDr.-Hatas is not a man likely to say anything aboutrath' an impertinent and unquenchable individual U myself, unless he believes it to'be true. Ai' yesterday received two mournful letters on thtj subject of my nervous system, coupled with I supplication to retire immediately'from a hoiSe" less.contestinorderto avoid the inevitable oar sequence of the terrific strain to which I was sob jecting myself, I requested the kindly doctor .ito give me for publication some short certificate with respect to my health, physical andmenttl, calculated to re-assure my ansious friends if f scientific observation of my case would justiij 1, in his opinion, such a course. ; I subjoin a copy of the letter which Dr. Hajnffl has has been kind enough to write, and whiohl hope will ha.ye the efl'ect of saying me from1 a urther inundation of correspondence relative to this subject. '.] I may state.if any furtherstatementiflneeflal. that I have eaton more, slept more, and ridden more, and more generally thoroughly enjoyed myself since the commencement of the Electors! Campaign, than I have ever done inmjrMs expeditions not excepted. OtefJ friends please note this carefully; to them i must speak volumes. , J.
