HASTINGS. TAPU CREEK.

A recent crushing of 4½ tons from the Little Jessie yielded over 24oz. of gold. An auriferous disooyery of some importance has been made in the parish of Otau, a block of land situate between the Hunua and Ararimu, and forming a portion of both blocks. About the beginning of June, two men came in from the district with a quantity of specimens, which we believe were taken to the Thames to be tested. These specimens were, we believe, .obtained off a block of land purchased some time ago by Mr. W T. Buckland, and comprising some six hundred acres. On June 6, however, Mr J. S. Wilson, of Wairoa East brought in another rich specimen which he had obtained from a reef on his own land. The specimen was not large but *t ii»'Ve7%^«w^%^)j«ittg

plainly visible on the outside of the stone A gentlemen, who arrived in Auckland on June 22, iroin Coromandel, informs us that during the previous three days 490z.0f alluvial gold had been brought into Coromandel from Kennedy's Bay. The numerous gold discoveries in various parts of the province have established the belief that a great, portion of it is more or less auriferous. Gold'ha&been found in the far North, at Mangawai, Waitakere, the Wade, Maraetai the Thames, Coromandel, Ohinemuri, Mercury Bay, Rangiriri, Raglan, and other places ; and very recently we published some particulars of the discovery of gold on land belonging to Mr. W. T. Buckland at Wairoa. On July 2,< we received intelligence of the finding of an auriferous specimen in the same district on the Wangahauhau farm, belonging to Mr. John Wallace, of Mangere, and Mr. W. J. Hurst.
