F. M. Mercer and J. N. La wson, of Dunedin, accountants, be and they are hereby appointed liquidators for the purposes of such winding-up.” The Oromwell Argus learns that the White Star dredge started work on Monday last, the crew having taken her on a month's tribute. The case A. and T. Burt v. the Centlo Annie 00. was argued in Chambers last week. His Honor reserved bis decision. It is stated (says a West Coast paper) that Mr Seddon learned something about dredging during his recent visit to the Coast; amongst other things that there are companies that have no title to their claims, and that he will take up the matter of reform himself. The gold escort which arrived here on Monday last week and left again next morning took with it one of the largest parcels of gold that has ever left Roxburgh, two coaches being required that morning. We have it on good authority that there was over half a ton of pure gold in the boxes.—Mount Benger Mail.
