COROMANDEL. (FROM THE "ADVERTISER'S " CORRESPONDENT. ) February 2.
The leader I mentioned in my last as having been struck in the Erin's Hope has been yielding well, and I was told by one of the shareholders that a considerable quantity of the stone has been already taken out. It is reported that a very rich reef has been discovered at the Manaia, about nine miles from here, and several men have gone across to take up claims. There is to be a meeting of the ineinbera of the Church of England resident here on Thursday evening, for the purpose of making arrangements to conduct a service at the Upper Township every Sunday morning. The road up the range is nearly completed and in a few days will be available for the passage of machinery. I see the ' City of Auckland' has arrived with the machinery of the New Zealand Company. Mr. Stoven has selected a site on which to erect it, and has applied for a leaae of » piece of ground at the beach on which to place a. building to store the machinery on arrival here. I have just seen two bags of specimens taken from the Little and Good Claim, which two of the shareholders are taking to Shortland to be crushed. The specimens are exceedingly rich.
