The total liabilities of the Glasgow Bank are reported to be ten millions $ assets, unknown. One cause of failure was the lock-up of its capital in Australian and New Zealand land.

NEW ZEALAND TELEGRAMS. [pee pebss agency.] Wellington, October 11. The Victorian Government, having arranged with the P. and O. Company that their steamers will, in future, not coal at King George’s Sound on the homeward passage, a saving of one day will thereby be effected, and this will admit of the Suez mails from New Zealand and Australia being despatched one d\y later than time table dates from all ports. Ahaura, October 11. It is raining heavily accompanied Jby strong wind, during the last twenty-four hours. There is no appearance of its breaking up. The rivers are rising rapidly. Traffic is suspended and a flood expected. Dunedin, October 11. The Resident Magistrate to-day decided that schoolmasters’ residences were exempt from rates, and nonsuited the City Treasurer, who sought to recover them from the head master of one of the district schools. A violent gale has raged in Dunedin during the afternoon, and Anderson’s Bay railway station was blown against the bank, and many wooden buildings have suffered. Shortly after one o’clock several establishments in Princess street closed to prevent damage to goods. Telegrams from the country districts report that owing to the hot winds the rivers are again rising. Three boats were forwarded to Bal* clutha by the four o’clock train to-day. A meeting was held this afternoon to raise subscriptions for sufferers by the floods. A committee was appointed to canvass Dunedin for that purpose. [special wire from press agency.] Auckland, October li. At Hamilton, Waikato, a man named Oswall had not been seen since Saturday last, and was to-day found dead in his whare by a boy who ■applied him with milk. The boy not getting any answer, and finding Friday’s milk left ontside told bis mother, who went and found him dead as above stated. Dr. Waddington, who was called in, says he had bt en dead for some 3 - . , ~ Gbahamstown, October 11. A miner named James McKelvie, working in the Queen of Bounty on tribute, had a miraculous escape to-day. He was going in to an old pass to work, and wanted to clear it, when he used a pole, and the wall beneath gave way, taking him down with the debris some thirty feet. Men were working from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to get at him, hoisting stuff and cutting timber. They could hear his cries all the while, for the stones fell about him in such a way as to leave him breathing room, though doubled up with boulders. When reached he was taken to the hospital, and found much bruised. The small bone of his leg was broken, but otherwise he was well, after seven hours in his unpleasant position. Hokitika, October 11. Gold to the value of <£50,000 has been shipped by the Alhambra, in equal quantities from Hokitika and Greymouth, by the Bank of New Zealand. The mines are yielding well at present, and are likely to improve during the coming months. # . , There is a heavy fresh in all the rivers. The Christchurch coaches are again delayed. Greymouth, October 11. A trial of two hundredweight of quartz (not picked) from Boase’s lease, next Langdou, was crushed yesterday. The foundry gave a return, of over two ounces to the ton. t It is blowing a living gale from N.W. since last night, with heavy rain. The steamer Wallaby crossed the bar this morning from Wanganui, stock laden. In the afternoon, getting inside she was blown right back, and narrowly escaped stranding. She was in the surf for a long time, but ultimately got to sea. 7007 ounces of gold were shipped yesterday, per Alhambra, from Greymouth. There is everv probability of a big flood . Balclutha, October 11. In consequence of hot winds and _ rain up country, the Molyneux commenced rising again rapidly early this morning, and has continued to rise throughout the day. It is anticipated that the flood will exceed the big flood on Monday last. Almost the whole population left the township, and very few will remain over night. The river has made a channel through the township along Gordon street, near the end of the Presbyterian church. This relieves the rest of the town considerably. A heavy hot wind is blowing. [PHOM THE COBBBSPONDBNT OP THE PEESB.] Dunedin, October 11. An influential committee has been appointed to canvass the city for subscriptions in a d of the flood sufferers. One resolution proposed at the meeting was to write to the corporations and mayors of all the boroughs in the colony, but a general opinion was expressed that it would be inadvisable to make a general appeal, as Otago was able to provide all assistance required. “Provincial district” was therefore substituted for colony. The Harbor Board despatched part of a pilot crew and a boat to Sterling to render assistance if required. Mr Maitland, Commissioner of Lands, proceeded there this afternoon to report on behalf of the relief committee as to the extent of losses. A report has just reached town that the bridge at Inchclntha has been washed aWay, but I cannot confirm it. The principle point of Mr Bathgate’s decision in the case of the Corporation v School Committees was that the intention of the Act was to exempt schoolmasters’ residences. It is understood here that the result of the investigation into the Palmerston railway accident was the dismissal of the guard ofithe downtrain. The claimholders at Kyehurn, near Cromwell, washed up, obtaining 140 ounces. Not caring to have so much treasure about the premises, the managing partner stowed it away among the rocks adjacent to a pigsty till he was able to go to Cromwell. When that time arrived no trace of the gold was discovered, though all the porkers were killed. The loss is still veiled in mystery.
