Her>r Majesty's Ministers are hard at fwk:|ireparing for the coming session, wjbich"it,is'confidently anticipated will be'*-'busy one. Cabinet meetings are $^dailyy and, report says, frequently at night, but the utmost secrecy is obse^etf :as Jtp'/wbat the transactions of our^peculiar Government are. Crystals are being- found in Canterbury, and several of them have been pronounced pure, diamonds. T At Miranda, about 15 miles from Thames, a quantity of stones have, been found, and several who have seen them insist that there are some diamonds amongst them, but the greater number/of them are unmistakeably quartz, crystals. The Governor has< been;'spending a few weeks in Auckland, and seems to enjoy his' stay. He has been feted and entertained thoroughly* the country, and the beauties of the Auckland harbor have been shown to him, and he has graciously expressed, himself in rapturous terms of praise regarding everything".
