• This vessel proceeds to the Bay of Islands to fill up with coals. Tho development of the Thames gold-field > has caused a great demand or small vessels during the past month, and every available craft hae been busily employed on the coatt. Wβ have already six steamers plying regularly to the Thames which are well supported, and in a: few days we shall have an addition in the Horal Alfred, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Laay Bonen. The coal mines at the Bay of Islands aud Wiingarei are also affording employment for larger vessels. During the month we have receired .nearly 550 tons of coal from these mines. The demand his been »o great, however, that at the present time there is quite a dearth of coals in the market. Several cargoes have also been forwarded to the Thames and three vessels have sailed for other ports. The Kllesmere has been chattered to convey a cargo to Lyttelton, and tho echooners Donald MsLean and Huntress have arrived at Napier with full cargoes. The brig Kita ia now loading coals at the Kawii Kawa miaes for Tahiti, and other vessels have already been chartered to load for Auckland. During the month several vessels have arrived, from Lytrleton with grain, and othern are now on their passage hither. Two voisels have arrived with cotton from Tahiti for transhipment to England. The Neva will romain here until the arrival of the Kate Waters, which is expected to load for London, and the cargo by the Kugenie will probably be stored until the arrival of the Racehorse. The Kncehoree and Constance are now due, both vessels being over 90 days

at sea. We have no man-'o-war at present in harbour, the Ro.°ario having sailed for Wellington on the Bth inst. with His Excelloncy the Governor. PASSENGEBS INWAED3. Pel- Southern Croic, from Norfolk' Island : "Rev J

July 2nd, 1868. It ia eatiefactoryti find that the improvement in buaineae, which wo hare lately had to record, ie well maintained. Engagamenti a» a rule'are punctually met. The fine' weather : which has prevailed during •the pa»t month; h&e greatly mitigated tho depression generally felt throughout the winter eeaeon. ' ' Stocks are light of nearly all kinds of imported goods. The failure of several large firms during the past tfrelra months, has reduced importations to a proper compass. The rockless system, which formerly prevailed, of throwing goods upon the market, is now a thingof the past, and tho legitimate importer has therefore some chance of soiling hii goods at 0 profit. Shippers at a distance must rtmember, however, that our market' is etill very limited, and a comparatively'small parcel of goodii sent for absolute t>ale, is sufficient to affect prices very materially. : ■ ■ The continued absence of an Enplieh eh!p, is caus ing an actual scarcity of several articles. ■ This scarcity is specially noticeable in epirite, which are now much wanted. Meanwhile the small stocks in hand are readily saleable at our eomewhat' extreme quntations. The Racehorse arid Obnstancq kte now due from London;' arid will on arrival supply our reijuiremente for eome time. ' ■.'.'".' ■ Wo give; eleowhere full particulars of the reported discoveries'of gold-healing quartz in different parts of the province. The results of these supposed finds can at present only he a matter of conjecture. There however, no doubt respecting the resources of the Thames district. We lately mentioned a crushing of 671bs. etone, which yielded '97ozb. of gold, since which a parcel of one and a half tons of quarts from another claim has yielded 1,0090z8. of gold. Now there is a prospect of efficient machinery being erected on various parts of the ground, we have little doubt that such instances as we have mentioned will be by no moans rare.

There has been a brisk demand for kauri gum throughout the month, and as supplies come forward but i slowly, we note that prices are very firm—Bay - for good quality, clean scrjped, £24 to £25 per ton. • Coals have lately been soarce. The development of our local mines has caused a cessation of importe from the neighbouring colonies, whilst the proapect of a certain freight from Auckland to the' Thames has.induced nearly all the small ooasting vessels to enter into competition for that trade.,. The consequence has been that very few vessels have been willing to carry coals. We understand', however, that more attractive teirma are being offered for email Teiflele to run to the mines, and we anticipate that our wants ii> this retpeot will be well supplied in future.
