Sunday, as it commonly is, was a busy day
in shipping movements. Three steamers—the Charles Edward, Wailabi, and Lyttelton
—arrived from Greymouth, and the Wanga-
nui arrived from the port from which she derives her name. The Charles Edward had
about fifty passengers, many of them bound
for the Manukau, and to the list there was a
considerable addition made here, but of the
number the majority were booked only for
Nelson. She sailed for the north after a stay
of only two hours. The steamer Wanganui
brought a cargo of stock, which was discharged, as usual, at the South Spit. Among
her passengers were some who had come to
Wanganui by the steamer John Penn, which
had gone there seeking freight. The Penn,
on her return to this coast, will resume the
trade between the West Coast ports of this
Island and the port of Manukau.

their selection of a man must depend

communities of age and ex-
perience, as the mining community ot
this district may fairly be designated,
have a decided aversion, or a wholeof anything bearing the
some
name of an assisted Prospecting Party.
It is almost axiomatic that the end of
all such enterprises is failure. So it
may be suggested with regard t& a
project nominally of a prospecting
character, which has within the past
few days been conceived by a few
practical minds among us; but we
venture to think that the suggestion is
scarcely in this case applicable. The
proposition is that something more
should be doue to develope, or to determine the resources of the district
which is now commonly iucluded in
the designation
The Great North
Lead."
It is known that terraces
exactly similar in character to
those which aro named the Caledonian, German, Giles, Hatter's, et
hoc, exist for many miles both towards
and beyond the river Waimongoroa.
There is, indeed, strong reason to believe
that, not only iu appearance, but in
actual fact, they are similar—that they
are the continuation of a proved, proGtable goldfield.
But it is also well
enough known, and practically appreciated by store-keepers as well as
miners, that to reach the auriferous
wash, rich as it is when it is reached,
is a work attended by the expenditure
of a considerable amount of money and
time. It is unfortunately the case
also that, in this district, the population is so small that enterprises which
may be of great pith and moment
are neglected. There is no surplus
population whose very necessities
would induce prospecting and discovery. With few people and their
pockets poorly lined, it is not to be
wondered at that works which require
both capital and labor should remain
in abeyance to some distant day. The
suggestion is that, what the individual
miner, or a single party, may not
choose to do, might be done by the
combined efforts of the inhabitants.
The suggestion is that, at least, one
good tunnel, with divergent drives,"
should be putiu on the most promising
of the promising terraces to the north
of the Waimongoroa. The suggestion
further is that, were this done, Westport, or those representing Westport
iu aiding the project, would have no
cause to regret, but much cause to
favorably remember, the fact of their
havingdone so. And, looking at all the
surrounding circumstances, ard bespeaking the selection of reliable men
as the working party," we venture to
think that these suggestions are such
as are very likely to meet the approval
of the public.
"We have not at present space to expatiate upon the meritOrioushess of the enterprise to which
we thus briefly and indefinitely refer
but we trust that it requires only the
mention of a matter holding such
hopeful relationship to the advancement of the interests of the district,
to secure for it and its promoters

An interesting fact is stated by one of

plough is 43 years of age, and, as its owner

at its age it should be outstripped by

The Botanic Gardens are about
seven miles from Rio, and almost at
the foot of the Corcorado mountain.
They occupy about 50 acres and are
accessible by numerous winding walks.
In the plots we noticed cinnamon, the
red pepper, and the clove, all in fruit.
The walks are overhung with the marmosa, the crotou, the dark olive, the
mango, and the orange. There are also
numerous bowers thickly interlaced
with shrubs so as to exclude the sun,
where the visitors can rest on a wicker
couch and cool themselves. The most
magnificent sight of all in the gardens
is the row of palms. There is nothing,
like it in any other part of the world,
and it alone is well worth coming to
see.
Thero are about two hundred
palms, nearly a hundred feet high,
placed at an equal distance from each
other at each side of the walk in the
centre of the gardens, the leaves at the
top forming an arch, and in the
middle of the walk a very large fountain is continually playing, dashing the
silvery water of the Corcorado mountain into a large reservoir, where, from,
the sun's rays, can be seen all the
colors of the rainbow. It is a beautiful drive to the gardens. You pass

The sea breeze, however, makes the
evenings cool, and the nights are very
pleasant. The water is unquestionably good and as pure as that of New

Travelling is done on mules or horses
one after the other, similar to your
pack-horses on the West Coast. They
are used in the country, hringing the
produce to market; few waggons or
carts are used for this purpose; most,
however, is 'done on mules. The
town trade is carried on by waggons
drawn by a pair of mules, but a great
deal is done by slaves. Tou will meet
the slaves in the streets carrying largo
burdens on their heads, "grunting"
all the way under their heavy loads.
Slavery is to be abolished in Rio in
the course of two years.
The Ruahine was coaled by the
slaves in the following manner
About 50 slaves had a large basket
each, which they placed at the heap of
coals.
The baskets were filled by
other slaves, and two slaves stood at
each side of the basket to lift it on the
heads of the slaves who were to carry
the coals to the ship, a distance of
about 20 yards, They emptied their
baskets in rotation.
The slave driver

purchase amalgamated gold. Tin's is
owing to serious frauds having been
effected by mixing particles of base
metal in the amalgam, in such a
manner that it cannot be detected
until assayed. It is stated on undoubted authority that in some cases
the Banks have lost fully 16 per cent,
upon amalgamated gold. As a matter
of course, the Celestials are looked
upon as the offenders.
