A New Rush.
On Friday last a rumour got spread abroad that a very rich gold-field had been discovered, and there would be room for about a thousand men, but no one could give the slightest information as to its whereabouts. Suppositions of all kinds were flying round, and gradually the excitement became very lively. One thinking the Wakamarina had renewed her youth, another one of a prospector who had been out in the Kaituna for some time, and a third prophesied it was at Mount Patriarch, and, it being a nice moonlight night very little more would have started some of the residents of Havelock. with their " bluey" on their shoulders, to look for the new El Dorado. However, next morning inquiries elicited nothing more from Blenheim, and we are rapidly getting back to our nominal and apathetic condition—fat and peaceful. [Since the above was in type we have received the following telegram, from our own correspondent at Blenheim: Goldfields Warden says that nothing has been reported to him to warrant a new rush."]
