The Government refused the|Board's applica tion for payment in return for the accommo dation. The natives were voted a nuisance, never theless the Endowment Committee was appointed to select a piece of land for them in Mechanics' Bay.

The principal banker in the East is a Jew named Camondo, who is worth many mil lions. He is the Rothschild of Constanti nople. Some years ago he purchased from the Italian Government the title of Count, to enable him to prosecute his business with more success as a capitalist. Nowhere in the world are there such high rates paid for money as in Constantinople. Twenty-four per cent, is a thing of custom. The Govern ment is the best borrower, and when.it wants half a million it will pay any exorbitant interest the Greek or Armenian bankers have the rapacity to ask. Private bankers are setting rich. An instance is given of ■a, firm which? in the second year of its existenoe, deolared a dividend of forty per cent., simply by Iti dealing* with AW Merjid.

The editor of one of our exchanges has just had his family re-inforced, and makes the following remarks :—"Ring out wild bells—-and tame ones too—ring out the lovers moon, ring out the little slips and socks, ring in the bib and spoon, rig out the muse, ring in the nurse, ring in the milk: arid water, away with paper, pens, and ink, my daughter, oh, my daughter." We are authorised by Captain Burns to' contradict a statement made in the Herald this morning, to the effect that the Hobson Company had volunteered to go to the Front. There is no truth whatever in the statment, the question never having been even con sidered by the members of the corps. No doubt the gallant Hobsons will be as ready to do their duty when their services are re quired as any other Volunteer corps in the city, but such a necessity has not yet arisen ; and it would look very much like braggadocio for any company to make such an offer at the present time as that alluded to by our con temporary. The Hobsons repudiate the charge of having done anything of the kind.
