REPORTED GOLDFIELD AT NAPIER.
Some weeks »go we reported that several miners had gone out from Napier, and were sanguine of obtain* ing a good goldfield on the place which they had selected for their operations. We are informed by Captain Bendall, of the s.s. 'Star of the South, 5 which arrived on Saturday evening, that three men oame down to Napier on the day before the sailing of the steamer, providedthemstlvea with the appliances fur working on a somewhat extensive scale, and started off again. Considerable stir had been caused at Napier at the prospect of a goldfield in the pro* rince. The locality of the prospectors' labours is not definitely known, although understood to be at the rear of a run in the occupation of Colonel Whit* more. The party only left Napier a week pre fiously, and returned with samples for the purchase of stores and tools, and appeared confident of further success.
