FROM THE “STAR” SIXTY YEARS AGO.
ADVERTISEMENTS AND a NEWS OF DEC. 6. 1869. Livingstone in Africa.—Dr Livingstone is safe at Ngirui. He has discovered the true sources of the Nile. « Matoaka Overdue.—The Matoaka has not yet arrived. She has £50,000 in specie on board. The underwriters ask eighty guineas premium. x x The Inter-provincial Match.—The match was finished on Saturday. According to the telegrams, Otago won by three runs, with four wickets to go down. X X X Excursion.—The s.s. -Maori. Captain Malcolm, left Peacock’s Wharf on Saturday afternoon, having on board * large number of excursionists for Akaroa. This place was reached after a four hours’ passage. The Maori left Akaroa at 4.30 this morning, and arrived at Lyttelton at 8.35. This is the first excursion of the season, and we learn that the Maori will make excursions on Boxing Day and New Year's Day to this port. The Maori is admirably adapted for these excursions, and we have no doubt that they will be largely patronised.
