Mining Shares.— Mr. H. J. L. Augarde quotes Pioneer shares, £6 paid, at par. Business done this day. An alarm of fire was given between eight and nine o'clock last night, but it was found to be nothing more than a chimney on fire at Mrs. Nalder's boardinghouse, and the flames were speedily extinguished. Admission to the Ne;w Zealand Bar. — On the 6th instant, Mr. Charles Y. Fell, 8.A., of St. John's College, Oxford, and of the Inner Temple, London, Bar-rister-at-Law, was admitted, by his Honor Mr. Justice Richmond a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of New Zealand. The Carandinis. — The concert last night for the benefit of Madame Carandini was well attended, and the programme, a most liberal one, was carried out to the entire satisfaction of the audience. "We j learn that in the event of the Phoebe, by j which the Company proceeds to Marlborough, not sailing before Tuesday, there will be another performance on Monday evening. The Wangapeka. — Mr. Henry, one of the directors of the Culliford Company, returned from the reef this morning, and, j as we understand, reports most favorably of what he saw there. He brings with him some excellent specimens, and has arranged for 1£ ton of stone to be brought down, so that it may be fairly tested. On Monday we shall publish in full his report to the directors. Steamer Charles Edward. — Considerable uneasiness is felt with regard to this steamer, which is once more reported as missing. It appears that she left Westport on Tuesday last, at midnight, bound for Hokitika, and since that time she has not been heard of. Telegrams have heen exchanged with all the stations on the Coast, but from each comes the same reply, that nothing has been seen of the missing boat. Fire in Quail Valley.— We regret to learn that Mr. Fowler, who was burnt out of his house on Friday week, has again been a sufferer from the same cause, on this occasion his barn, containing a quantity of corn, harness, and agricultural implements, having been totally destroyed on Thursday night. Since his house was burnt Mr. Fowler has been living about two miles from his farm, and it was only on going to his work yesterday morning that he became aware of the second misfortune that had befallen him. There is no accounting for the fire as the building was some distance off the road, and not within two miles of any dwelling house. The house which was burnt last week was partly insured, but the barn and its contents are a dead loss.
