COLLINGWOOD.

[From our own Cobbesponhent.] TflE fnneral of Mr Constantine Allan took place on Thursday, and was largely attended, over two hundred persons following, of whom Bixty were Foresteis, the deceased having been a member of »tat Order. The vtr.v impressive service of the Foresters waß read by P.O.R. Bro F, Stallard. Deceased was greatly respeoted throughout the district, of which he was a native, nnd where he had resided all his lifetime. He was a ytung man, 32 years of age, and gn a*, sympathy is felt with bis parents, both of whom are greatly respected. Deotftsed was buried in the old cemetery, fceuide a brother, who was drowned. The Parapara Hydraulic Sluioing C >mpany washed up and sent the gold over by the Lady Barkly last trip, and I have bot yet heard the results, but from what I can ga her it greatly exceeds expectations, and those in charge are peifeotly satisfied. Thiß news greatly pleases nil here, as it will be tbe canfe of several "specs" being gone into, all of whioh will tend to push the dis'rict ahead, Messrs Cross and T. A. Askew were lound the Takaka and Collingwood distiiota. seeing what suppoit they could get towards putting the ss Manaia on the Motueka, Takaka, Collingwood, and Wellington trade, and J hear they were successful in the receipt of promises of support, the rates for fares and freights beirjg liberal.
