Thames Harbour Boundaries.

Thames, May 26. The following important telegram from the Marine Department was to-day received by | the Secretary of the Thames Harbour Board : —The Minister directs mo to inform you that the Governor has annulled all former limits of the port of Thames,and has defined the limits to be as follows : —To seaward on arc of a circle of five nautical miles radius from the intersection at Opani point of two lines one of which bears 242 degrees 12 minutes from trig 92 (Pukeraka), and the other bears 333 degrees 45 minutes from trig 90 (Telegrrph tower), and shall include so much of the Thames or Waihou Rivov as is included oy a right line drawn across said river in a south westerly .direction, being a prolongation of the south-western boundary line of block 4.652 (Te Ngutu of te Manu), and no more of the Piako River than is bounded by a right line drawn across the river between the telegraphi tower near the mouth thereof. These limits, will appear in to-day's 'Gazette.'" This greatly curtails tho boundaries of the; Harbour Board, and places tho whole ©f the saw mills, excepting those of the Shortland Saw Mill Company, out of their jurisdiction. It is just possible that the Harbour Board. \ will lesign en masse.
