Wellington, November 17; A deputation of six Italian immigrants waited on the Italian Consul this morning, and stated they and many of their countrymen were in a starving state, as they could obtain no employment. They stated they were allowed to sleep at the Immigration Depot, but had to find their own food, and as they had no money they had to go without food. The consul stated that the Italian Government did not authorise him to afford them any relief, and advised them to represent their case to the Premier. They did so, and the Premier has allowed them to remain at the Immigration Depot and be supplied with food for a short time longer, until they can be found suitable employment or sent up country. The Court of Appeal was adjourned this afternoon until Wednesday next. The full Court will sit on Monday to hear divorce and matrimonial causes. There are seven cases ; the only one from Christchurch is Dyson v Dyson and Forward, for hearing.

Mr A, Leslie reports on Mount Bangitoto Silver Mine as follows :—“ The company have three tunnels, one 60ft, carrying defined veins of ore, averaging 18in wide, one 10ft, in one large rich vein, nearly 4ft thick. He considers all these lodes highly payable. One large vein, visible from the out-crop, will yield over 400 oz of silver to a ton of ore. The ore from the 35ft tunnel will give a high yield of 700 oz to the ton. About 12 tons of ore are paddocked, which will give all round a yield of 400 oz of silver to the ton. The lodes appear to improve in richness as a greater depth is obtained,” He considers the mine equal, if not superior, to the Californian mines. Shares are scarce, at £3 premium. A good road is being made by the Government to the mine.
