At the Auckland Police Court, on the 10th inst, Thomas Howe, Eugene O'Reilly, Thomas Sheehan,, James Cummins, James Gleeson, and William Walsh (late shareholders in the Green Harp Gold Mining Company, Coroinandel) were charged on, a warrant issued on the information of W. J. Hunt for their apprehension,, with having in the months of May, June, and July, 1872, unlawfully and wickedly conspired, combined,, and confederated and agreed together to disseminate aniii circulate false reports of and concerning the Green Harp mine and the products thereof, with intent thereby to cause an increase and rise in* the price of shares in the Green Harp Gohl Mining. Company with the intent to induce the subjects of the Queen to purchase or buy shares in. the said company during the said times,, and to cheat, defraud, and injure the subjects of the Queen who should purchase or buy the said shares. The case was remanded to the 13th inst.—A telegram from Coromandel, dated 11th fnst., the Evening Star, says :—Mark Sheeny, late working manager of the Green. Harp, was arrested last night, and> brought up at the Police Court this morning, when he was remanded to> Auckland. In the New South Wales LegislativeAssembly, on June 25, Mr Watson moved, "That the House will, on Friday next, resolve itself into a Committee of the Whole to consider the following resolutions:—l.—That it is-desirable to take the necessary steps to establish a monthly line of mail steamers between Sydney and San Francisco, securing thedelivery of mails at those ports withia thirty days, and between Sydney and Liverpool within forty-eight days.. 2. That the foregoing resolution be transmilted by address to his Excellency the Governor." Mr Parkes said the question which the lion member had brought forward was one of considerable importance, but, as the hon. niover had offered but few observations upon it, he did not feel called upon to touch upon the merits of the question at this lime. He certainly saw no grounds upon which the Government could object to going into committee, and he only wished to observe that he trusted the hon. member, in dealing with this question, would be prepared, if the motion should be carried, to secure due provision for the protection of the interests of Sydney in the matter. The Sydney Mail, commenting on the proposal, says :—"The debate has been adjourned, but it is to be hoped that the resolutions will be passed in some shape or other. The question is quiw lipe for the Government to deal with it, and a bold policy will be the safe one. Lf this colony takes the lead, and guarantees the whole subsidy, the thing will be done."
