The electric light is now in full working on’er at the Ellenboronch mine, Sandhurst. It was first lighted on the 9th inst., and has been burning continuously since. It is stated that th company’s expenditure is now at the rate of Ll2i), as compared with L 320 previously, and consequently it i a expected that the light will shortly be adopted in all the principal mines. Heavy showers have fallen throughout South Australia. Glowing accounts of the effect upon the crops are to hand from the country districts, and hopes ot a good harvest are confidently entertained. The schooner Yana, bound from Newcastle to Melbourne, became a total wreck at 3 o’clock on Tuesday morning. All on hoard have been saved. A general Volunteer review will he held near Melbourne on the Prince of Wales’s birthday, at which the entire forces of the colony will be represented. Colonel Hutton is now maturing the arrangements for the demonstration, which will probably be made exceptionally interesting by including the crews of the war-ships which will be in Hobson’s Bay at the time
