Messrs O'Brien and Dillon visit the United States in October. The steamer Rangatira is loading coiil at Cardiff for New Zealand. The ship Assaye, long overdue from Lyttelfon to London, is posted as missing at Lloyds.

Spring having now fairly set in j operations will Vie. resumed at the Whatauh.ua Cutter Factory on Wednesday next. Messrs Davey, Slade, Reid and liell return thanks ti) the burgesses of Hamilton for the support accorded to them nt the late election. Mr Davey trusts to again have the pleasure nf the support of the burgesses at an early date. There was a very heavy train up friiin Auckland yesterday, but nntwithstandir.fr, it was better up to time than un Monday and Tuesday last. In addition to the extra quantity of fronds, the passengers weifi iiinrn numerous than when there was n ilaily service. Mr Kirk, the registrar of elec liirs for the district of WaiUiU", is making rapid progress with the compilation cf the rolls. Those persons qnalifieil to vote should lusts nr> time in sending thei.- claims'. The nccessiiry forms may lie obtained at any post ofh'lie in the electorate. Rather an extensive conflagration was started at Nowstead on Wednesday. Captain Steele put a match to a lot of dead scrub and stumps, and the tire so raised, owine to the high wind blowing, wjs quickly carried into the fine avenue of oak?, and quite a number were destroyed before the fire was checked. We are very plensed to hear that Messrs Coates and Metcalfe will recommence operations at their flax-mills at Hamilton and Te Aroha on Monday next, should a supply of coal be available. This will, no doubt, be welcomed by the large number of workmen who were rendered idle owing to cessation of werlt at these mills. We were sorry to hear yesterday that Mr Thomas Dinsdale, of Frankton, mo well-known throughout the district, is lying dangerously ill. Dr. Murch, who is attending him, pronounces his malady sunstroke, contracted a few days ago whilst sitting at the window of his house. For some time past Mr Uinsiiale has not enjoyed the best of health, and it is supposed his weak state rendered him more susceptible to the action of the sun. It would hardly be possible to have a worse day for a. special horse salt: than last Thursday, but notwithstanding the wind and rain Mr W. J. Hunter had n capital sale at Cambridge on that day. About inO horses wen offered, and most <>! them changed hands. The draught horse.and Rood hacks sold well, birt those in low condition were not in much demand, and consequently went at low rates. Mi Hunter received several wires from Auck land and liaglan with commissions t< purchase f"f mdiviJuals who could not b( present. The attendance was good, especi ally when the heavy weather is taken inti consideration.
