NEW ZEALAND.

Things have greatly changed in this direction.
All interest about the war at Taranaki, and the
threatened war in the neighbourhood of Auckland,
is now sunk in the discovery of gold at Tuapeka.
No account has reached New Zealand as yet of a
definite character as to the probable time of Sir
George Grey's arrival, or, in fact, as to whether he
will arrive at all. At first he was expected about
the 20th of August, but the receipt of Cape papers
without conveying any intention of his movements
seems to have thrown some doubt over the affair,
and it is questioned, whether he will allow himself
to be so much at the beck of the Home Government
as was supposed.

The Fox Ministry has succeeded in establishing
itself pretty much in public favour, and the altered
policy of the Government with regard to the natives
is giving more satisfaction than was at one time
expected.

The discovery of the Tuapeka goldfields to the
south of the Middle Island was noticed in our last
summary, and we can do no more than give a brief
digest of the latest news thence. The diggings were
opened early in June, and have now consequently
been worked more or less for a period of three
months. Three or four thousand persons have pro-
ceeded thence to Tuapeka, and the yield of gold for
the three months has been about 27,000 ounces.

CONSPIRACY AGAINST TUE KING OF

GI:EL'CE.

We understand that a few days since the King
of Greece, who has just returned from Bavaria to
his kingdom, was to have entered Athens from the
Piraeus, with a large escort, amidst a general
demonstration, with displays of fireworks. His
ginat conse-
quencethePri arjaus tsY, received however,

ien,
of which, instead of waiting to make his
entry in the evening with the display announced in
the official programme, he started off at once, accom-
panied only by a very small escort, and reached
Athens a good hour before nightfall. The fireworks
were lost, the demonstration ruined, and the King
and Queen entered the capital almost without re-
cognition. It is now ascertained that the telegram
which his Majesty received warned him of the dis-
covery of a conspiracy on the part of three officers,
who had won over a portion of his escort to their
plans. These wretches intended, in the confusion
of the evening, when people should be shouting
and fireworks going off, to fall upon the royal per-
sonages under their charge, and then and there
to massacre them.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—The great show of erysan-
thernums, this day and to-morrow, is described as the
most extraordinary exhibition of this plant ever seen.

THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES, DOWNING STREET.

—Yesterday, by direction of the Commissioners of her
Majesty's Works and Buildings, several houses, situated in
Lower Charles-street, Fludyer-street, and King-street,
were sold by auction, in order to ho cleared away for the

,ites of the new Government offices. A few weeks ago the
Foreign-office was sold for the same purpose, and in a
short time this building, which has stood in Downing-
street many years, will totally disappear. The premises
adjoining, which are in possession of her Majesty's Com-
missioners, will soon follow, as will also other houses in
Charles •street and that locality.
UMB DOG TEAREM.—Whose dog is Tearem?
That Tearem alone can tell ; but he is silent. The Hun-
garian Constitution is abolished ; Hungary is placed
under
something like martial law; but not a bark nor even a
Nv hinc from Tearem. Can Tearetn be muzzled ? Is 'rearm
the dog of John Bull, or Francis Joseph's dog ? Tearem
represents himself as a house-dog ; but what sort of a house-

MONET MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

There is no alteration in the general condition of
the Money Market, the inquiries still being very
moderate, while the rates continue steady. Tran-
sactions continue to be recorded at 2 per cent.,
and the available supplies are largely in excess of
current inquiries.

About £57,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
of Englaild yesterday.

The steamer Etna which left yesterday for New
York, took out £7,881 in specie.
A call of £2 per share, amounting in the aggre-
gate to £1,500,000, becomes due to-morrow, on the
South Austrian Railway shares.
The directors of the Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway are prepared to receive applications for
the issue of a portion of the perpetual 4 per cent.
Debenture Stock.

In the Liverpool Cotton Market-yesterday a fair
inquiry prevailed, and the late advance was well
supported. The sales were 12,000 bales.
The market for Public Securities opened this
morning with a steady appearance, and although
transactions have not been extensive, a rise of
nearly a per cent. has taken place, partly in con-
sequence of an advance of y per cent. in the
Itentes. Consols are 93 for transfer, including
the dividend, and 922 ;-1-, less the interest, for the
account. The New Threes are steady at 921 ; the
Reduced at 91-'4, 921 ; Exchequer Bills, March, Bs.
to 12s. prem. ; ditto, June, Hs. to 20s. prem.
Bank Stock has improved to 231 1; but India 5 per
Cent. remains at 1061 t.

Foreign Securities have shown more buoyancy,
and the dealings have been to a fair extent.
Turkish 6 per Cents. are 801 ; ditto, 1858, 691;
Mexican have improved to 281 ; Spanish to 51 1 ;
ditto, Certificates, to 62- 77, ; Italian to 68, and Sar-
dinian to 83. Buenos Ayres have receded to 891;
and ditto, Deferred, are fiat, at 291 I.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are in round figures as under :--

1861. 1860.
Great Western ......£46,565 £14,987
North-Western.

North British 6,779 6,111
Midland and Great Western of Ireland 5,601 4,408
Edinburgh and Glasgow 6,939 6602
Glasgow and South-Western
These returns are in several instances of a more
satisfactory nature, although some of the lines in
the manufacturing districts still continue to show a
decrease owing to the depression of trade. On the
Great Western there is an increase of £1,668; on
the North Western of £2lO ; on the South Western
of £1,423 ; on the Great Northern of £3,215 ; on
the North British of £6lB ; and on the Edinburgh
and Glasgow of £337 ; the Brighton shows a de-
crease of £6B ; the Midland of £237; the South
Eastern of £7Ol ; the Lancashire and Yorkshire of
£2,078 ; and the North Eastern of £2,774.
In the Railway Share Market the operations
have been of a very moderate character, and prices
have undergone little change of importance. Mid-
lands, however, declined 10s.; Manchester, Shef-
field, and Lincoln 155.; North Western and South
"Western advanced ss. ; and Great Northern A
Stock £l.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings remain at
steady quotations. South Austrian and Lombardo-
Venetian have improved to 171. ; Great Southern
of India to 1001 100-Z ; and East Indian to 103.

For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
there was a more active demand, at steady prices.
Oriental Bank improved to 501 ; Ottoman Bank to
; Canada Land advanced to 1061; Madras
Irrigation to 31; United Mexican Mining shares
rose to 8;14

A rise has taken place in Port Philip shares to
303, owing to the receipt of a remittance amount-
ing to £2,000, and the favourable character of the
adviccs.

THE WEATIIIER IN THE NORTH SEA.

SHIELDS, Tuesday Night.—This morning at daylight,
instructed by a telegram from Admiral Fitzroy, of the
Board of Trade, a cone, point up, was hoisted from the
signal mast at the high lighthouse overlooking Shields
harbour. A cone, point up, denotes that a gale may be
expected from the North. The day, however, has been
tolerably beght, though cold; wind S.W., with a light swell on the bar. The following is the reading of the baro-
meter and thermometer during four days :

This morning, in consequence of the fine weather, notwith-
standing the ominous warning from the Board of Trade, a
number of coal laden vessels, mostly for the North and some
for the Continent of Europe, sailed out of the Tyne. Some
of the smaller vessels for Scotland were deeply laden, and,
viewing the poor little vessels, laden down to the water's
edge, and the signal that was presented to them of an im-
pending gale, the hardihood of mariners in venturing upon
the ocean in such craft could not but astonish a spectator.
It is very much to be feared that a collier brig, the Stella,
which sailed from the Tyne on Friday week, coal-laden, for
London, foundered, with her crew, in the hurricane of the
following day, as she has not since been heard of. A little
Yorkshire vessel, the Friend's Goodwill, reported to be
above 90 years of age, it is also feared, is lost. The old
Brotherly Love, of South Shields, a collier brig, reported to
be within three years of being 100 years old, and on board
of which Capt. Cook served part of his time, after running
away from the tradesman's shop in 'Whitby, it was stated,
was also lost—but she has cast up at Blackwell, safe and
Boned. The Tyne, Wear, and other North. country rivers,
are very much flooded with " freshets." Snow u.a
falling
in South Durham and North Yorkshire yesterday. To-
night the weather is fine, with the brightest sky we have
had for five or six nights.
