NGARUAWAHIA.
[l-ROU OUR OWJf COHRK3PONDKNT.] October 19. TIIK weather of lnte has been' very fine. The farmers and others are calling out loudly for rain. The river Waikato is getting very low, causing the steamers to stick on the sandbanks. I don't think the steamer company have bettered themselves in chousing tiie present place for a landing. Yesterday a steamer with a barge stuck and was unable to get. oft' for three or four hours I'roiu the site o\' their proposed wharf —The flax-mill at this place made a start last week, which seems to enliven this place. It is to be hoped that the present depression of the (la< market will not daunt the proprietors.—A very thick seam of coal has lately been discovered on the land of Mr. Ralph, at Rahuepakeke. I have been shown some of the coal, and it bids fair to equal, at a little depth, that of the coal obtained at the company's mine. I notice that tenders are invited for the transport of 70 tons of the new coal to this place.
