Nkw-Zka i.ANDKr, Office, Friday, September 2(sth, IBC2. The foreign arrivals of the week have been the Royal Mail Steamer Lord Ashley, with the July Mail, and an assorted cargo from Sydney ; the barque Alice Cameron, with a general cargo of merchandise from the same port ; and Will Watch from the South Sea Islands, with fruits and other tropical produce. The departures were the Kale for Sydney ; and Clutha and Gil Bias for Newcastle. The produce from the coast consisted of 1017 bushels wheat, •Till bushels maize, G bushels apples, d ill cwi. salt pork, 20 cwt. beef, 14 cwt. bacon, 3 cwt. tallow, 14 cwt smoked fish, SO Ihs. blitter, 7111 lbs. lard, 74 dozen eggs, 2 horses, 30 pips, too sheep, fi hides, 2J tuns whale oil, 104 tons kauri gum, 34 ions firewood.

The enquiries for New Zealand Dank Shares during the past week have been nuineious, and their market value may now be fairly quoted from 20s. to 30s. premium each. It is expected that they will exceed even this margin after the half-yearly meeting on the 30th proximo, as the great commercial success of the undertaking is patent to all the public. Two new associations fur working certain quartz reefs at Coromandel have been funned during the last few days and have been duly registered under the "Joint Stock Company’s Act.’’ The first is the Kapanga Quartz Reef Company with a nominal capital of €’2,1100 divided into 50 shares, and the other is the Auckland Gold Mining and Quartz Crushing Company, with a capital of ,€‘2ooo in 20 shares of ,€‘loo each. The Kapanga Company intend working No. 1 claim on Keven’s reef to ttie extent of 350 feet in length and 300 feet in width, and the Auckland Gold Mining Company on No. 1 claim of 250 feet in length on Greece's point. The latter Company expect daily to receive the principal part of their machinery. They will commence with six heads of stamps and increase that number as the reef is developed. The expressed value of the shares in Keven’s Reef Company is now uniformly .€’7o, the last call of £•2O on each of the 40 shares taken by the public having been paid on the 22nd instant. The latest intelligence from Coromandel is of the must assuring description, evincing in strong terms the auriferous character of most of the developed reefs. My usual weekly communication from that district has not yet come to hand, owing I presume to some defect in the postal arrangements.
