A correspondent fn another column calls attention to the bad state of the Nelson road. We have heard the same complaint from other sources, and it is quite evident the case is one which calls for the immediate intervention of the County authorities. The elson-Reefton overland trip is gradually gaining in public favor, and traffic on the increase, and everything should be done to make the journey as easy as possible. We publish this morning the memorial of registration of the Venus Extended Gold Mining Company, Murray Creek. The capital of the Company consists of £24,000, in 24.000 shares of £1 each, 10/---being considered as paid up This undertaking has come into great promisus during the past few months, owing to the splendid qnality of the reef upon the newly opened low level. Some of the stone brought to town within the last few days being equal in quality to any yet produced in the field. A meeting of local shareholders in the Energetic Company will be held at Campbell's Southern Cross Hotel, to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock. News reached town last night that a man named Quirk, who had been missing since Saturday, and for whom search had been made, was found in the Matakitak Creek, the body when found was in about nine inches t?f water life being quite ex» tinct. An inpuiry will probably be held. Our Court report is unavoidably held over till next issue. The members of the Loyal Reefton Lodge of Oddfellows held their annual celebration in the Hall on Wednesday evening last. There was a largo muster of the brethern and a most enjoyable evening was spent. The plant and mine of the ill-fated Golden Arch Company, Italian Gully, was sold by the bailiff on Saturday last under distress. The whole of the property was put up in one lot and knocked down to Mr P. Galina, baker, Boatman's, for the sum of £7 10, we believe the plant originally cost something like £2000. We understand that in Christchurch a movement is on foot to bring about a financial separation of the two islands. The proposal is to let each Island manage its own finances and local laws, the colony otherwise remaining as it is. In other words, having two provinces in New Zealand, with much the same power as the Provincial Governments had. An inquest was held in Melbourne on the 15th July on the body of Andrew Gueriu, who for many years had obtained a living by selling candles to cabmen. Be lived at a boarding-house in Bonrke street, where it was generally believed, in consequence of his appearance, that he was badly off. Recently he became very ill, and was removed to the hospital in an emaciated condition through want of food. He died on Sunday from the effects of chronic disease of the lungs and starravation. When his effects were searched by the police, papers were found which showed that about £720 was lying in various banks to his credit. In a leading article on the distress in Adelaide the Melbourne Argun writes : — j " Relatively with other countries in these days, there is certainly no real distress in Adelaide, but it is hard to have to acknowledge that the old conditions of unlimited demand fur labor are passing away. Pretty much the same story come* from Queensland and from New Zealand. It would require a clear judgment, and a very close study of all the circumstances, to decide how far, in each of the three "depressed" colonies, the legislation of recent years was responsible for the driving away of capital, and the stagnation which follows. New Zealand would certainly carry off the palm from " overlegislation." and for the lavish creation and development of "boards," "committees," and "commissions," charged with making the said legislation vexatious and unintelligible." The Dunedin firm of Messrs Chick Yu and Ah Kum were lately compelled, by unforseen circumstances, to take advantage of the Debtors and Creditors Act. The public examination took place on Monday last says the Otago Daily Time; in the Supreme Court. After much blowing out of matches and prelonged interpretation of their mellifluous language, Hi* Honor declared the examination passed and the bankruptcy closed. In answer to a question by his Honor as to what they did with bankrupts in China. Mr Sew H<>y explained: "They must pay ; there is no law." From a remark subsequently made by a gentleman present in the Court, it appears that a Chinese bankrupt invariably simplifies matters in his own country by hanging himself; the legal recognition of this simple custuot no doubt Accounts for the absence of legislation on the subject in China,
