CLOCK IN THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTION.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab !< What's a-clock, what's a»clock."

— Parrot Cry. Sib, —Can yon tell me what's become of the clock from the Mechanics' reading room. I have enquired at Macready's, who, I was informed, was horologue-grapher to the institution, but ho says he knows nothing of it. It has now been non est for some weeks, and the want of it is much f.' in these dog-days and nights. We afraid of stoppiug too late, and thereby I Vventiug our excellent librarian from retiring in proper time to that rest his arduous duties entitle him to. Yours, &c, T. Mam.—l want to know at "what-a clock " the annual meeting will be held, and who are to bo the new committee ?

[Probably the clock has met the fate in^ tended for the chemical laboratory.—Ed E.S.]

FEMALE SERVANTS.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. Sib, —Living out of town, I have not always the opportunity of seeing your really interesting paper. But having seen that a " certain class of females," have the privilege of being placed in " highly respectable families," under the patronage of a Mrs Colclough; I beg through the medium of your valuable paper, to tender ■ —not only my own, but the thanks of our district—to that kind lady for such a boon, and in fact, I suppose we must really look upon ourselves (if we are fortunate enough to procure the society of one of our " fallen sisters "), as one of the favored few, and will certainly look after her morals, to the satisfaction of that philanthropic lady.

Dear Mr Editor, Yours, with great respect, A Mothee op a Family,

WATER SUPPLY.

We learn that Messrs Seccombe were desirous of having a contract for twelve months, but seeing that the present pipes from the Domain could not deliver any very greatly increased supply, the Super intendent was unwilling to enter into any agreement beyond a month. The Mayor has, however, again communicated with Messrs Seccombe, and, yielding to his solicitations, and the urgency of the want, have consented to give the supply for two months or more, as may be required. In this matter, owing to the multiplicity of goverements, the Cit} 7 Council cannot act without consent of Superintendent, Domain Board, &c. The Mayor has forwarded Messrs Seccombe's offer to the Superintendent, with a request that it may be at once accepted, and not an hour lost in connecting the supply with the Domain reservoir, it now rests therefore with the Provincial Government Some of the city wells arc having exten sion of pipes, and tenders are to be re ceived up till to-morrow for a public well in Symond and Barrack-streets.

"We learn that Mr. Carruthers has writ ten to the Mayor asking for information as to the flow of water from the contem plated supplies of Onehunga, Waitekerie. and Low and Motion's. Also as to the method such flow was recorded so that any future examination may be done in the same manner. Perhaps some of our correspondents may be in possession of information beyond that at the disposal of the Mayor.

LATEST.

The Provincial Government have agreed to the terms of Messrs Seccombo and Sons' offer, and work will be commenced to-morrow morning.

The bombardment of the heavens com menced this morning, and the echoes were awakened by repeated salvoes of six doses of powder, of four pounds each, ejected from the mouths of the twenty-four pounders in the crazy old Port Britomart. No. 1 Company of Navals, however, who mustered to the number of about 30, failed in their object, and only succeeded in dispersing the few masses of cirro-cumulus clouds which hung over the city in the early morning. Heat, rather than rain, was produced. We understand that Major Jackson has been induced to offer himself as a candidate for the vacant saatin the House of Eepre?enta tives for the Waikato electoral district. The vacancy is created by the resigna tion of Captain McPherson, the late member, who has accepted the office of adjutant of Militia and Volunteers. We are glad that a Waikato resident of Major Jack' son's standing, has consented to take a seat in the Colonial Legislature, for his own dis trict.
