Mr Murray has proceeded to Wellington. He has given no expression of opinion as to the result) of his inspection, but his report to the Government will bo looked for with much interest, and is anxiously awaited by those interested in the mines at the Thames. A NOVEL INTERRUPTION. A pleasant change to the monotony of the committee work at the sitting of the Congregational Union was caused by a lady in the afternoon. Knowing that so many men were in solemn conclave assembled she entered the church with & baby in her arms, and asked that the little one might be baptised. She gave as her reason that she purposed leaving Auckland
to-day and wished the ceremony performed prior to her departure. Her request was acceded to.
