WELLINGTON, Last Night.
No intelligence lias yet been obtained as to the missing surveyor, Mr Carkeek, who a few days atro disappeared somewhere to the northward of Taranaki. The telegrams received by Government from the locality up to a late hour last night, report that there are still no tidings of the missing man. A search party has been out looking for him, but so far without success. Mr Carkeek was on his way from New Plymouth towards Mokau when he so mysteriously disappeared, and the first search party has been trying to follow him towards Pukearuae and Mokau. A second search party has been ordered out, and will start so s^on as the weather moderates sufficiently, it having been exceedingly stormy in that locality. The second party will follow Mr Carkepk's trail as far as possible in the Mokau direction. The Governments of New Zealand and New South Wales have to-day agreed that a deed shall be prepared renewing the San Francisco mail contract for two years, but terminable at the end of one year should the United States Government decline to contribute.
