The continuing instalment of the eeriali "Loat in the Mine," will be found on our baok page to- day, also Cable News. A sharp earthquake was felt in town at about 6.20 this morning. A swag was found last evening near the bank of the Tutaekuri river in the vicinity of the butta, whioh gives oolor to the theory that the missing man William Rose committed euioide. The Has'ingß Amateurs repeated " Pinafore" at the Theatre Royal last niabt, there being a crowded audience to witness the representation. Tbe piece went very smoothly from start to finieh, and many of the toloa were encored Hastings readers scaroely need tpmindinsr that the amateurs will appear again this evening at the Princess Theatre. News has been reoeived in Wellington of the death in England of Dr. Alex. Johnston, for many years health officer and coroner in Wellington. Dr. Johnston left the colony six or seven years ago. He was a prominent Freemaßon there, and waa a Past Maßter of Lodge Waterloo. The name "shipentine" is becoming' common at Home for what is commonly Known in England as a four-masted barque —that is, a four-masted vessel Squarerigged on all but the jigger Some such name becomes necessary in order to distinguish such veEßßla from the four-masted barques that are beooming common in the South Amerioan trade now, square-rigged on only the fore and main masts like any other barque. An Auokland telegram says that the Ooolgardie Syndicate has reoeived a cablegram from Messrs Goodali and Firth tilting that they have found a new parallel reef at the 80ft level, carrying gold throughout. A prospeoting and Flotation Association has been formed, and a committee appointed to arrange preliminaries. Six candidates were admitted to the Sharebrokers' association yesterday at a fee of £300 each. An old oountry settler oalled on us this morning and expressed dissatiafaotion at the method of applying for ]and adopted in conneotion with the drawing for the Waikopiro blook. He Bays that a whole family could apply, father and mother, and sons and daughters, and six in a family had too great a chance against a single applicant. In many instances, he says, ;be land is simply acquired by people who do not intend going in for the Bliuhteßt settlement, but do so for Bpeoulativo\purpoßeH, sellJDg out subsequently at a considerable profit. Genuine Bettlers are thus shut out from getting land that would be properly cultivated for the purposes of settlement. Our informant has certainly good ground for complaint At the Auokland Polioo Court yesterday two men, 'Ihomas Smith and Anthony Hopewood, stowaways by tho Tarawera from fydney, were fined £2 or 14 d»yß' hard labor. On leaving the box Smith made some unpleasant remark on bis Worship's rulin«f, Mr Korthcroft ordered him to be brought baok, and asked him what he said. Accused said he only remarked that he wanted work and now he got it. His Worship said he had a good mind to inoreaee the floe and term of imprisonmr nt. In a breaoh ©f promise oaße in Sydney Belle Solomons claimed £500 damages from Walter Smith. It was alleged by defendant that plaintiff had confided to him that the was defotmed, but a medical man gave evidence that the plaintiff had no physical defect, and that it would be absurd to sey that maternity would be fatal to her. The jury awarded £200. The judge wss very severe on the defendant for getting up the plea of physical incapacity on plai. tiff's part, ordered defendant before tha Court, and formally oommitted him for perjury.
