MOANATAIEI.

The report of the mine manager for the week is as follows :—" 150 feet level— Driving west on All JSations reef will be resumed ou Monday nest.

GOLD EETUHNS. Majou.—A, crushing from tin*.claim produced 190k3 15dwts gold. Poktia —Johns and party have banked 3ozs 19dwts gold.

We (Daily Telegraph) hail with the greatest satisfaction the return of Mr Whitaker to the Legislature of New Zealand. Whatever may have been the electioneering errors that were the cause of Mr Whitakcr's defeat; in the contest for the representation'of Eden, his enforced absence from Parliament could only be regarded as a colonial misfortune. Intimately associated as he has been with the Government and legislation of this colony for the last twenty-three years, it reflected no credit on the Grey party to win a victory at Eden so dearly bought as the rejection of Mr Whitaker. If nothing else is gained by the resignation of Sir George Grey's Ministry than the recall to the Legislative Council of Mr Whitaker, at least there will be something upon which to congratulate the colony. Tho colored brother in ft Virginia church hit the nail on the head when he prayed at the close of the white brother*! sermon; "Lord, bless de brudder to whom ire hti listened to to patiently."
