At the meeting of the Charitable Aid Board ) to bo belt! on Monday night,a resolution will be proposed that Mr H. T. Rowc, Secretary and Relieving Otiicer, bo relieved of his duties, and fresh applications invited for the position. It will doubtless be within tho recollection of your readers that some eighteen months ago a large rich specimen, weighing exactly lOolbs, was sent to London from the Cambria Gold Mining Company's mine as an exhibit at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition. The stone was returned to the directors a short time ago, and a few days since was forwarded to the mine manager, with instructions to treat it at the Company's battery. This was done on Wednesday by means of the single stamper, with the result that it producetl tho magnificent yield of lluozs melted gold.
