NEW RUSH, GREY.
Mr. Richardson, who has for some time been sub-manager for Mr. Pike, but has now left him, and can haveno imaginable reason for making a mis-statement, told us that he walked over the different gullies in pursuit of his avocation, and saw the prospects mentioned realised, as also' that a steady increase of population was making its way gradually but surely iuto the vicinity of the saddle. Mr. Desauuet, Mr. Pike's manager, asserts that a great increase of miners has for some time past been noticed, and he instances one party as having spoken to five men on the station who were getting gold in payable quantities on the Nangahua. The iucrease of population has been so marked iv that vicinity that the gentleman who supplied the diggers with beef, and who hitherto would not take more than ten or twelve head of cattle up, had a fortnight ago made arrangements to bring fifty head on at once, and also to take another seventy head that were soon expected. Mr. Abbott stated that last week about 400 diggers passed through the Ahaura, on their way to the Little Grey. — 67. li. Argus.
