LATEST FROM THE THAMES

[fboh oub own correspondent.] Friday. KUBANUI COMPANY. According to nr;angements made with the manager, I called here at the last moment for the return of the 300 lbs. of specimens crushed yesterday for the Long Drive, and found it had been sent to the Bank of New Zealand, is they had na scales large enough ; and calling in at tiie Sank, the authorities say this is the case with them, and I am compelled to send this without the returns. The yield is magnificent. ANOTHEB JJICH FIND IN THE EUEEKA. The Eureka Company have just cut, ac a depth of 250 feet below the surface (in driving from the Teutonic claim), a leader nine inches thick, and they have commenced taking out stone, which is the richest that has been got in this mine. UNA COMPANY. The fortnightly cleaning up of this company is taking place to-day, and tomorrow I shall be able to give you the returns. BATTERY REPOBT3. Bull's Machine, Foot of Karaka.— The Flying Squirrel, whose ground is near Pnnga'Flat, have had a quantity of specimens crushed yesterday evening, GOlbs. in weight, which turned out the magnificent yield of 92 ozs. of retorted goid. This machine is now engaged upon foity tons of stuff from the Atlantic; Collarbone Spur; and considering the short time tlie stuff has been going through, it promises very favourably. THE OHINEMUKI SHOOTING CASE. This case was reported in town last night some hours after the dispatch of our parcel, but the report in the Advertiser is a fair report as far as we have been able to ascertain. Detective Hutchinson and Constable Brennan were sent off last night as soou as the state of the tide would allow, and the police here state they have no doubt that if all assistance be given by linpata the culprit will be in custody by this, or, if not. it is only a question ot' a few hours. The men who were witnesses of the act state that they would have taken Sheridan into custody at once, but they had no arms or any otlicr weapon of defence, and he hud the remaining five barrels of the revolver fully charged, and knowiug the character of the man, they no doubt acted for the best under the circumstances. I have just called at the Hospital, and Sergeant Atkin informed me that the wounded man Kinna is progressing favourably, and up to this time no dangerous symptoms have appeared. The ball is not yet extracted- It entered the right side, a little above the hip, and is supposed to have lodged near the spine of the back.

taha.ru accident,

I have nothing new to report on this. The man 13enue'tt has not been injured so badly as reported; and all the others wlio were cut by the glass are at work, witli the exception of one, wiio cut in the palm of the hand. The carriage is now on the tramway again, and with the exception of the shattered windows, and a few slight scratches, it appears little the worse for the fall.
