His Honor Judgo Weston rotumedt to Rcofton from Wostpoit on Saturday evening linst, and will prooood to Hokltikia via Uroymouth to-morrow morning..

Mlcsowhoro wo publish an Application for a now mining area, 10. aoros, at Boatman's. The ground is situnto oast.ward of tho 0100 patra lease, Boatman's distriot. The applioant is Mr lamos M, Boocho.

All accounts ngainst the Spoits Committoo must bo rendered to tho secretary, Mr Lop,, boforo & p«m, this ovoning, or thoy will not bo roeognised. Tho Committee will moot thia evening to sottlo all matters oonnootod with tho lato sports.

Tho want of a rondy moans of ootnmunioation bctwoon Rcofton, Black's Point, and Crushington, ban boon long felt by the trdvoL ling public, and wo aro glad that it is at longth to bo supplied by Mr Antonio. Porrin, who rtnnouncos his intontion of running coaohos daily botwoon tho places named, currying pansongors and parools*.. The couoh will run flvo or si* times daily which will no dou'it prove a groat oonvonionoo to. tho public, An amount approaching upon £300. has been oollcotod and disbursed during tho past wonk by tho Roofton Sports Committee, and it speaks wall for the district that so. largo a sum could bo found availablo for tho purpose The Reofton Jockey Olub for tho Summor Meeting disbursed B*>mothiug over £700, a largo proportion of whioh sum, howovor, wont io expenses inoidont to tho inauguration of horso racing, tho preparation of tho racecourse alone swallowing upovor £120. A district which can subseribo £1000 per annum for publio amuiomonts cannot bo in a bad way. Wo understand it is tho intontion to form a second Cricket Club in ltoofton,and should the season portrait it a miitoh will be arrnngod with tho First JUloven in tho early part of April. It is proposed to form tho now olub upon a permanent footing with a rate of ontratiod and subscription suflloionfc to enublo the club to securo and oloar a suitablo picoo of ground for praotioe and mutoUes. Tho project is a vory sensible ono, a# the prcsouoe ofu second club will orcato a spirit of rivalry and lend to n.oro frequent praotieos. A mooting to start tho proposal will bo hold in a day or two,

'lhe Warden's Court will sit on Tuesday next whon, we boliovo, one or two important, mining eiiHbs will come on foe hearing.

We havo boon desired to. again remind ratopayors that all duos must positively bo paid hy tho 30th instant, Tho Clerk of tho Council will to-day iaauo nummonso. for tho recovery of all rates roinuiiiing unpaid aftor nomi this day.

A oonsidorablo commotion has boon occasioned in mining olrolos by tho results of reoent surveys of some of tho minon in tho Boatman's district, It apponrs that reoout dovelopmonlß of tho roof in tho Wuloomo mino led to a desiro on the part of thoso interested on that lino for a survoy of tho course of lho lode. Mr Woolloy accordingly miido a survey of tho courso of tho roof, taking his start from the Just**in-Timo mine. Tho result of tlio survoy shows tho course of tho Welcomo line to run through the groat oat

length of tho Homeward Bound Lease, th underlay being to tho cant, in tho direction of the Clcoparrn ground, whnh adjoins tg" Wcleome oast boundary. It seems, however that certain Greymouth shareholders roocntly despatched n gonfcleman from thoro to mako a survey of the line, and his survoy is said to show that the Welcome lino only traverses a very small portion of tho Homeward Bound lease, in faot, mo-oly runs through ono oomor of tho ground. Mr M. Beeoho has, howovor, made a survey of the same lino, and his report goes to confirm tho accuracy of Mr Woolloy's survoy. In tho meantime a feeling of un*oorttinfy has been oroatod. and as tho im*. mediate rosult Homeward Bound sharos have receded in tho market.

The Venus Company, Murray Creek, will oonimcnoo crushing about Tuesday noxt.

Wo believe it is the intontion of tho Oriental Company, Soldior's, to have a trial crushing at tho Dauutlosa lattery during tho incoming month.
