Mr Warden Re veil reached here on Saturday last, ami will hold Court this morning, the business commencing at 10 o'clock It will be seeu from our mining report that tbe Globe crushing has been commenced, the battery having started at midnight last night. A full report of tbe company's works will appear in our next issue. Owing to the a' sence of Mr P. O. Preshaw, secretary of the Ji eefton Hospital, at the sittings of the District Court in Greymouth, the regular monthly meeting, of tbe committee has been adjourned until Friday evening next. Tlie last Government Gazette to hand contains tbe information that Wm. ' M'Lean, of Wellington, has been ap- , pointed manager of the Golden Crown Company, Terewhiti, vice Mr Williamson reaigned. Cemilla Malfroy, of Ross, applys under the Patent Act, to register an " Improved Reversible Turbine, for • winding purposes." John Alves, of Dunedin, similarly applies to register "Improvements in apparatus for conveying , material on aerial tramways, or. eudless • rope ways." John Aspinall, of Skippers,. Otago, also applies to register " Aspinali's haud or motive power rock-drills." , We publish on our fourth page an i article from a Victorian paper, represent- ' ing that " Orient's " sweep ou the Mcl- * bourne Cup is an entirely bogus affair. 1 The facts whicb the Avriter gives in support of the statement seem conclusive enough, and will no doubt prove sufficient to detor any further investment in that. direction* The same writer also impugns the buna ftdt* of " Auhtralaaia's " Cup consultation, but his reasons for so doiug are not. given; Possibly in a subsequent issue of ths paper he may do so. In the meantime, however, tho , public would do well to i

p-otit by tbe~hint. " \ ustralasia's " an- 1 no inceoieut 'appears id out 'advertising columns, and it certainly seems strange that t"he name of Mr B, J. Franklyn, one of the oldest and most widely known p* n-ett- and publishers of Melbourne and Sydney, should be associated 4 with any , thing in the nature of an imposture. We shall take tbe earliest means of ascertaining the. truth or falsity of the accusation, but in the meantime the public should certainly 6ght shy of the speculation We learn that there has been a great rumpus and no pitch hot amongst the shareholders of the Golden Crown Company, Terewhlti, Wellington, resulting in the resignation of the legal manager, Mr WilHamsoh, and the appointment of Mr Wm. M'Lean, formerly of Reefton." Mr H. Mac^ has also resigned his seat on tbe directory, and Sir Christopher Mace has retired from the- mine management. As to the cause of all this the Wellington papers dp not say a " blooming word." We bavo been requested to state, that owing toj the? su-ccessf ul sale of Mr C. ohen's selection of Xmas and New Year's Cards last year, the parcel ordered by h'iin for the forthcoming season is of so large and varied a collection that It •could not bb- forwarded through the ordinary means of parcel- post, but' will arrive by the direct New Zealand steamer, British Queen, now hourly expected. .Instructions bave been given toithe manufacturers in London to detain parcel until the last minute, for the purpose of adding every novelty of latest manufacture, aiid, judging from the description given in invoices to hand, the selection must be extremely choice, surpassing anything hitherto imported here. Tbey will arrive in ample time to reach the Home country by the close of the year, and are well worthy inspection.
