From the Union Beach nearly 50 tons of good crushing stuff will go to the battery this week. About 300 ozs. of gold are looked for. The Kennedy Bay mills are in full swing. [PRESS AGENCY.] Wellington, Monday. The Government have chartered the steamer Egmont to assist the Luna with the cable. The Luna left port at 1.30 this morr - ing, the Egmont at 9 o'clock. A heavy southeast swell is reported in the Straits, but little or no wind. They hope to begin work this afternoon. The JVezu Zealand Times reviews the position of parties this morning. The substance of it is this : that the extreme proviucialists of the North and South will never be able to agree upon a common platform. The offensive tone of the Ofcago Press will be a bar to any fusion of parties. The Olarjo Times describes Auckland politicians as a pack of robbers, and says robbers always come from the North. It calls Mr. Firth's sentiments a highwayman's policy. The New Zealand Time 3 says this is selfish and offensive in tone, and must Ilisgust a refined taste, and will lead to Sir George Grey throwing Mr. Macandrew and his incapables overboard. No well-organised Opposition could be organised out of such materials as Otago furnishes. It claims Mr. Fitzherbe'rt as one who must go for the unity of the colony and the seat of Government at Wellington, being the same basis upon which he joined Mr. Stafford. It also claims Mr. Whitaker as opposed to Separation. There is a 1400-ton ship now upon the patent slip getting repairs. She will come off in a few days. ■ . ■ ' ;,, %
