Mr Price Williams on New Zealand Resources.

A MKKTiNfi of gentlemen interested in com mercial mid mining pursuits Was held at tho Chamber of Commerce at noon lo day Tor tho purpose of liiecling Mr Price Williams, Hie eminent mining expert, ' Mr ,)olin Laml), President of the Chamber of Commerce, presided, and Uicro woro also present: Mc._r.-4 J. C. Firth, (1. Aickin, J. 1p!. Russell, K. Spratt, P. Ireland, A. Porter, I). B. McDonald, Walker J. F Clark, K. Macky, 11. Cameron; F. Schcrfl, C. Alexander, A. Saunders, Orchard, D. 0. Mnedoiinld, Jackson) Hi Henderson, nud others. Mr Lamb having introduced Mr Prico Will ams, that gentleman spoke lir-*t on the ques tion of railway management. He was highly pleased with tho management of tho New Zealand railways, considciin" the diiliculties that Mr Maxwell, tho manager, had to encounter 110 agreed to a great extent with the theories of Mr Vaile which he considered sound, and the time would como when they would be adopted when tho traffic increased. Ho had been surprised at tho vastness of tho mineral resources of the colony, and especially waa this the case in respect to coal, aiul when (ho sun of England was set, that of New Zealand would be in ils zenith. They had also an abundance of splendid iron which, asso ciated with coal, had made England what it wns. Notwithstanding these fino re sources, lie regretted to say that they were practically undeveloped. It might be heresy to say so here, but he held tho opinion that gold was not their chief wealth. Iron and coal would bo their principal wealth. If the Government would not do something towards developing these resources, th'c question arose could not the surplus capital of England be used for tho purpose of a commercial speculation ? It had occurred to him that thero might bo a combination of capital with the patriotic immigration scheme now being put forward at home. He had no doubt, if this could bo done, £10,000,000 or £12,000,000 might be raised in England. If a strong body of capitalists of London would associate with leading minds heie as directors, ho felt certain that that would be the only means of securing that development that otherwise would not como for -25 or oO years. He quoted from statistics to show that the mining industry in the colony had been at a standstill. Ho was sure that there was a practical solution of the knotty problem of how to develop the mineral resources of New Zealand. In concluding, he said that it had occurred to him that the waste lands of the-colony might be settled on the plan adopted by Mr Firth at Matamata, the Capitol for which project might bo obtained from England. Ho was a member of the Statistical Society, and, if they fell in with his views, he would at once take steps to bring tho matter of such an association before the society.

Mr Firth next addressed the meeting. In the course of his remarks ho said that he had come to tho conclusion that borrowing must cea?oj that they must rest on their oars for a while. Ho advocated tho estab lishment of a commercial federation betweon Rritain and tho -colonies. Britain must show her colonies that it is bolter to remain a part of tho Empire than to be separated from it. If Mr Prico Williams eaid thoy must borrow ton or twelve mil lion pounds more, he said no. Rut if lis advocated that English capital be in vested hero -that a monetary federation bo formed—he said yes. Let English money como hero for investment liko it did to America. Tho English capitalists had hitherto refund to tako v eharo of the undefined r_ ks that existed in tho development of a now country. Thoy always wanted interest for their money. Ho thankod Mr Williams oc be half of the mooting for his remaiks. Captain Rich na* glad that Mr Williams had spoken approvingly of .Mr Vnile's scheme. Ho felt euro that nothing would co afsUt to settle their distant lands as cheap freights and low railway fares. A vote "of thanks was accorded to Mr Williams on the motion of Mr G. Aickin, seconded by Mr J Reid.

Mr Prico William?, in returning thankF, said he quite agreed with Mr Rich that encouragement should bo given (o tho settlement of tho up country districts by cheap railway charges, Out it would be necoaaary lir^t to largely increaso tbo popu lation.

Mr Firth wished Mr Williams tv take Homo thia Uou, that if our Ei glUh friends were willing lo find the money ami the men, wo finding tho land and the intellect, thore wn3 room for the investment of their capital. The Chairman said that the Council of the Chamber would tako tha suggestion of Mr Williams up anil would communicate with him in England. A vote of thanks was accordetl to the Chairman on tho moliin of Mr A Porter.

Dr. Russell, of Christchurch.

His Tastes and Financing.

(by telegraph.—own correspondent.)

ChKiSTCiiDRCJi, thia day. Numbers of people nro finding thomselves in possession of somo item of an elaborate collection of articles of " bigotry and virtue" got together by Dr. RuEeell, and passed undor tho auctioneer's hammer. An observ ing friend of mine who attended tho Eale says all tho furnituro and fittinga were of tho choicest kind conceivable, and were evidently got up utterly regardless of expense. The harness waa particu larly fine, and is said to havo been specially imparted from a crack London iirm ; but ono or two things struck my friend as peculiar. Tho colouring ovory whoro waa of the most positive kind ; no subdued effects, but all gloss and glitter. He remarked that Dr, Russell evidently had not the tastes ono would look for in a man of scientific training, and presumably fair goneral education, for no books aro to be aeon, and ai to pictures, with tho exception of a couple of pen and ink sketches, ho would not give 5s for tho hit. io connection with Dr. Russell's affairs, a. rather good story ia current, though I can't vouch for ita truth. No doubt thoro baa boon a good deal of financing in the courso of Dr. Rusaeli's cirecr here, and his horeea, very fino and showy crea tures, are alleged to bo subjocts of a bill ot eale. Aa the atorv goes, thero aro two bills of sale, each referring to two horees, but alan! only two horaea aro to ba found. The consequence is that each holder claims tho animals, and co thero ia a pretty coil. I understand his sister-in-law, who resided in the house, holda the beet Becunty for money advanced. Mrs Russoll wont Homo some time ago, and was to have made the roturn journey this month.

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.

Hto Hunt Reported Missing.

A vraiIKHMAN named Tom Smith was brought on to Auckland by tho cutter Oannet this afternoon, having been picked up at Mtu Ihi, where ho had succeeded in making land, aftsr an hour's battle for lifo against a heavy sea. Smith states that he loft the Tamaki at seven o clock this morning in tho Margaret, a 24ft open boa"-, containing a quantity of ballast and about two dor.en mullet, bound for Auckland. Uo was accom panied by Iko Hunt, an experienced boatman, and the latter had charge of the tiller. Tho woather was boisterous, with tho wind blowing hard from tho northward, and thoy started on the voyage with tho nminsail double reefed. When about 2 milos off Motu Ihi, tho boat was struck by a heavy squall, buried Iho 100 gunwale under wator, and sank immediately, leaving both occupants in tho water. Somo of tho bjttotii boards and oars floated, and theso woro grabbed hold of by himself and Hunt. Doth ui'on had full suits of oilskins on, and not a porson was within hail. Hunt was unablo to swim a stroke, but Smilh waa morofortumito, being a good swimmer. Ho divo _ed himself of all hia clothing, excopting his shirt, thon tuckod one of tho oars under his arm, and struck out for tho cast end of Motu Ihi. 110 left Hunt floating with the assistance of somo wrockego. Aftor boing about an hour in the wator Smith reached tho ehoro, and hoisted his shirt on a stick to attract attontion. This was seen by Cap tain Sponcer, of tho cutter Cannot, which took him on board and then, mado a diligont but unsuccessful search for Hunt, but no sign of cither him or any wreckage was found. The Gannet searched for about, nn hour, nnd thon came on horo. Smith says tho only chaneo of Hunt boing safe, is in the ovout of his having drifted to tho Tamaki, a distance of about six miles, and this ie, unfortunately, bnroly possiblo. Iko Hunt waa vory popular amongst tho boatmon horo, and eincero gt tof was oxprcsscd on (his sad inciiiont becoming known. Hunt loaves a wife and four or live children in Auckland.
