The Waikato Times. "OMNE SOLUM FORTI PATRIA." THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1872.

In consequcnce of a press of interesting matter on our columns, we have hold over a leader on the unpatriotic statement made by Mi* ibtatlord in the House. It will appear in our next issue. We are glad to notice that Mr Harris will next week eonnnenee to run a conveyance daily between Ngaruawahia and Hamilton. This will be a great convenience to the settlers in the neigh bom-hood of each of the.se townships. It will also prove a benefit to travellers to and from Auckland; on the up trip thov will be able to rest at Ngaruawahia and resume their journey in the morning, and when proceeding to town, they will be enabled to get to Ngaruawahia the night before the coach leaves, thus obviating the necessllv of act ting up at an unreasonably early hour. We hope the speculation will prove a good one. The detachment of Armed Constabulary stationed at Ngaruawahia iierd yesterday ror the A.C. Rifle Association-quart :rly prises. The following were the scores:—Constables' Yallilley, 23; Willoughby, 15; Hill, 28; Mathesou,. 17: R. Ralph. 34-; Cveorge. 32; ytangc, 26; T. Feehan, 36; five shots at -100, 500, and 600 yards. We notice that Mr High ley, of Hamilton, has disposed of Irs business to Messrs. Owen and Graham. We are glad to learn, however, that MV Highley purposes remaining in Hamilton, where he will eoncontinue his business as an auctioneer and commission agent. We believe that at an early date he purposes entering into a manufacturing business. We congratulate the To Awamutu settlers on the fact announced in our telegraphic column that a telegraph station will shortly be opened at ?e Awnmutu, This will supply a want that has ioug been felt by the settlers. It 'will be seen by an advertisement in another column that Mr K. Hill's November sale will be held «uth» 14th Noreuibor.

The Colon.al G-jverment pn. Luna, Captain Fa rchild, anwed m harbour at '1 o'clock on Tuesday rriuj /ling from Port Waikato. She left Wellington on the 4th in-a., rt-U-U, European and American mails for the Nevada. After won,, tnein at Manukau she proceeded to Port Waikato, w/iciv, j.,„ y j her hull cleaned. Captain Fan-child erected two leading beacons for guiding vessels across the bar. Tne beacons are pain Led white, and can be Been at a distance of six miles. She took on board 152 tons ot Waikato coal, and left for Wellington on the 14th inst.; called at Taranaki on the loth, and landed some stores for the Armed Constabulary, leaving the same day, arriving here as above. Experienced line wo.ither, with light winds during the whole of the passage. The coals are a very line sample, and well adapted for steam and household purposes. They can be had in any quantity at 15s per ton, brought alongside in barges. The harbor is suitable lor vessels drawing 18 feet, the channel quite sLraigi.it, and easy of ingress and egress. The mine from wuieii the coal is brought is 60 iniies up the river. It is dug out of the bank of the river, and barges are loaded alongside from, a shoot..—A r . Z. Mail. There was a sceno on Monday night in the House on the motion of Mr WakeiicJd asking for deiinite information as to the intentions of Government regarding the filling up vacancies in the Ministry. Mr Wakefield said that the Government was dangling bundles of carrots before members. Mr Vogel said the other day Mr Wakelield came into the JLLouse and Maid he was ill, but something else besides hunches of earrota had disagreed with him. Mr Wake/ield called the attention of the Speaker to these remarks, and called Mr V ogel's language coarse and vulgar. The Speaker condemned Mr Vogel.—Star.
