THAMES.
(Overland per private messenger from Greville's Agent.)
JFbiday, April 17. The Caledonian yield for the fortnight has been 14,000 ozs. Dividend, £l3. The Thames Goldmining Company's dividend for the fortnight is £2. The local volunteer companies were inspected on Saturday by Colonel Harrington. Bishop Croke, who is now here on a visit, proposes establishing a nunnery at the Thames.
The Inverness Goldmining Company have been taking out specimens of stone all the week, and shares have risen 7s in consequence. Toofcey's are selling at £S 15s. The Golden Crown took out 450 ozs. during the week, and other mines are turning out very payable. The dividend list is constantly increasing. A stone weighing 2J cwt., valued at .£4,000, was taken out of the Caledonian last week
The overland Thames route is still closed to the mailman, and no efforts have been made by Mr McLean to reopen it, or even discuss the matter with the natives The opening of the district for goldmining is now looked forward to, and that will be the most effectual way of settling the matter.
