THE THAMES GOLDFIELD.

(FROM THK "THAMES ADVERTISER," NOVKMBK-; G) A nv-eting of tl c executive comm tteu o r the Diggers' H.-cpital wi 1 be held this aft<;r».»,.n i-i the hon|ital luiUlinf» on urgent business, ami a fi I 11i tenfance is .-oliciied. We hope the :i r p al «ijl l»o responded to by thos * q ntleraeu who, by th- ir absence, have hithe.t-.) thrown the responsibility of these meetings, ami the hospital w.ik generally, upon the should w of a few willing worker*.' We fear there will be a limit to th«ir willingness, and should be soiry to find an institution of so much benefit to the commnui y neglected and uncaffd for. We are informed that very few of the subscription lists distributed some months ago on behalf of the hos/jital fuVds have been returned; and it is necessary that they should, in order to balance accounts and clear off debts. Another dray accident occurred on the bhellback road yotterday. A horse, with a dray laden with firewood, was traversing the road when it was precipitated to the beach below, falling on the chimney of a house, and carrying the dray with it in its fall with auch violence as to break in the corners of the building. A small building adjoining had to be removed before the animal was liberated. It was found lying on its back, uninjured, after the occurrence.
