ozs. OP GOLD FJtOM HOKITIKA. GOOD NEWS FUOM THE GREY. 10,616 ozs. FROM THE GREY.

The Nelson Colonist of Tuesday last, which we received to-day, adds little to the intelligence which we published on Monday, from Hokitika direct. The most important feature is the arrival at Nelson of the steamers Wenga Wonga, Rangitoto, and Kennedy, with intelligence up to Sunday last. The reports from the various fields continue good, and although the very heavy floods have proved a considerable drawback to miners, the yield of gold is satisfactory, and the arrivals yesterday are large. The Kennedy, from Hokitika, brought the following parcels of gold for the banks :— Union Bank, 1750 ounces ; Bank of New South Wales, 2000 ounces; Bank of New Zealand, 6600 ounces j total from Hokitika' 10,350 ounces. The shipment by the Wallaby, from the Grey River, whence that steamer arrived last night,wasas follows : —Union Bank, Isoooz ; Bank of New South Wales, 4000 ozs ; Bank of New Zealand, 5116 02s; total from the Grey, 10,616 ozs. Total arrived yesterday, 20,966 ozs. This is the greatest quantity of gold that ever entered the Port of Nelson in one day, and the above shipments are with a •iugle exception the largest we have ever received by any one vessel. The news from the Grey goldfields is good, and indeed in the face of this importation of gold it could hardly be otherwise. Miners are doing well at all the recent rushes in the neighbourhood of the Grey River, of which we have formerly spoken. Fresh gullies are continually being opened, and the diggings are fast assuming the character of a per/ manent goldfield. A.
