KARAKA GOLD-FIELD.
- ■ . (PHOM OUR PPEOLA.L CORRESPONDENT ) Shortland, May 14. There is little of interest to communicate since my l»Bt letter. Business is not bo brisk the last few days, but this is owing to the talk about the " new rush." As in every place cUe, the moment a rumour of a; new gold-field arises people will unsettle themselves, and the consequence is a "look-out " for something to happen. The Clyde has started with a load of diggers, and the Janet Grey follows suit by the next jtide. • Of course nobody can say what the chances are for .the new gold-field, but rumour here does not :appear to be very favourable. People who are doing ;well t ny where or in any position would bo unwise to :move their household gods for a probability of improving their position. There is an occasional grumble about streets, wharf accommodation, and such like .matters, but the general aspect of things continues to [be the same as heretofore. I have really nothing t new to communicate.
