Jfr McOlune of Invercargill, who refused to comply with the seventeenth section of hi Public Health Act, on the ground that then he became a member of the College of Surgeons, he subscribed to a declaration filch bound him not to divulge information entrusted him professionally, iv received by mail the opinion of fie Lancet to which he submitted the pestion. The Lancet says that there is wapecific undertaking of the kind, but it is ijeneral undertaking on the part of a new lember to demean himself honorably in fa practice of his profession, but even if a ije-law of the College forbade the disclosure acquired in a professional way, fe could not override an obligation to iralge such information at the bidding of ilaw for State purposes or for the ends of slice. It may be a question whether the te should impose the duty on medical i or on the friends of a parent ; but every k'h experience teaches that the State has leepwjt interest in such information, and jentitled to demand it.

SPORTS AT THE QUARANTINE STATION.

[F£OM AN ERRATIC CORRESPONDENT.]

Tub Government ought to send a parson down here. He might make some money by splicing the young folks. We are getting up our appetites. There is an ample supply of eatables and drink ables, but the water is not good. Old Barnsley (this is the disrespectful way the quarantine master is alluded to) is a jolly old cock. Two of the girls are having some fun by making desperate love to him. He, poor fellow, evidently thinks they are in earnest, and is quite bashful for an old geatleman. Perhaps they are, but, you sec, both can't have him, so what's to be done ?

There was great fun at the sports yester day. We managed to collect £5 for prizes, aad are indebted to Messrs Criaickshauk for £2. Some of the prizes were very good—one was a piece of brimstone ; and another, one pint of Condy's disinfecting fluid. So you see we are anxious to assist the authorities every way. The sack race was grand ; also, throwing the hammer, a 161b piece of lead at the end of a stick. It was precipitated a distance of 80 feet. One yoimg Scotchman, getting excited, said he "could caw the hoose doon wi' it."

GREAT AMERICAN CIRCUS.

This far-famed circus opened last evening on the space of. ground adjoining the new Market-house, with every prospect of a successful run. The raiu came down in tor rents, and people said the entertainment will be postponed until to-morrow evening, but at the time of opening, crowds, young and old, assembled at the pavilion entrance eager for the equestrian scenes, and very soon almost every available seat was occupied. Messrs Bird and company, therefore, may safely anticipate the patronage of the majority of the juvenile population of Auckland. With respect to the per formances, we are bound to state that they were far above the character of circuses generally, very little inferior, and indeed equal in many parts to the well-remembered circus of Chiaruii.in which several of the lead ing equestrians of Bird's circus weie engaged. The first part of the representations were the liveliest of the evening, with the excep tion of Turpin's ride to York. The wetness of the evening naturally had a dispiriting influence, and was certainly against the performance, otherwise the entertainment would have appeared to greater advantagfi. It is not pleasant either to sit or perform under dripping wet canvas. Among the riders we noticed particularly the perfect feats of the " Young Ameri can" and Ueorge Gilham, which gave unbounded satisfaction. Senor Gon zales took the leading part among the tumblers who were all good. Mddle. Gracie's trapezian performances were really wonder ful, especially when the lady's apparently delicate frame is considered, She held Gonzales by her teeth, suspended by a strap, in a marvellous style, and Gonza!es iv turn held the lady in like manner. Mr Seymour was recognised by the audience as an old favourite in bis estab lished character as original jester and clown. He threw out a few of his witticisms last night, wLiah took amazingly with the audience; we presume however, that Mr Seymour is reserving his best bits for future and brighter occasions. A great deal of fun was created by Messrs. Hutohins and Turner, in a piece whijh has frequently been pro duced, but never w= believe with greater effect. One of the company made an apology on behalf of the company in not being in full trim for a successful evening, but this apology was not deemed necessary by the audience. A pauee ensued before the intro duction of Dick Turpin and bonny Black Bess, and a general titter prevailed among the hundreds of anxious juveniles. Dick Turpin, in the eyes of boyhood, is equally great as the glorious highwayman, as Shake speare was a great poet, and Bacon as a philo sopher. This historical feature of the circus will be seen to greater advantage on a, fine night. There was a very efficient band in attendance, and in the present dearth of amusements we believe that the proprietors of the American Circus will not regret their visit to Auckland, but will have sufficient reason to prolong their stay. A grand mid day performance will be given on Saturday afternoon, commencing at two o'clock.

MADAME MOLLER'S CONCERT.

This concert came off last night at the City Hall and, considering the state of the weather, was very fairly attended, about 150 persons being present. Madame M oiler was assisted by the Artillery Band, Mr Impey, and Mr btubb ing in addition to several amateurs. JJie concert must be pronounced a success, for the audience were evidently well satisfied and were most enthusiastic throughout. The hene ficiare was herself in excellent voice and her rendering of the cavatma "Anelando was a car^l piece of vocalisation, and was Awarded "by an encore. The same compli ment was paid to the duet between Madame Moller and Mr Stubbing, which was bril lian ly executed j to Mr Impey's solo on the clarionette; and to some others of the vocalists. In one, if not two of these the audience seemed to be actuated more _by their predeliction for the performers rather than by any remarkable merit in the perform ance. -

AN IMMIGRANT'S EXPERIENCE.

LUDICROUS INCIDENTS IN THE EARLY DAYS.

An old colonist furnishes us with the follow tl experiences, for the edification of new chums--"In 1838, I left England tor ss-s, ag=3r £•£?= ::r--ts« the p-w-is

which, the draught of water not admitting of thes ship.crossing the bar, we had to proceed in the ship's boats to the landing a trench £ a?epm at tfce Wtom of W boat had been taken out, and the water poured m We had then the benefit of wet boots, and the dresses of the females were not improved. On landing it was too late to proceed to Adelaide; we had the plea sure of getting shelter without food, except what a few of us hrought on shore, with but little bedding. We were left entirely to our own resources to do the best we could. There is no doubt a few who can remember the old iron store at the foot of the sand hills and the pub. There wss no grumbling- we made light. o f our difficulties and inconveniences. The •nights passed merrily, the women and children having leen our first care. We provided them with a tea, with a little in it to qualify the water and eatables, faring as we best could afterward. The scant supply we could obtain of fire would cause some trouble, but all was done cheerfully and with out any selfishness, only laughing at the mis haps and awkwardness of ourselves and others. Sleep for the male sex was out of the ques tion. In the morning, several of us started for Adelaide. We were at least three hours on the road. Our first visit was to Tommy Gilbert, with whom a break fast was a welcome offer — soup and bouilli, Williams' assistance was called into * requisition to despatch bullock drays to bring up the luggage and children. Knowing there was plenty of help, I in spected Coromandel and Buffallo Bow, — shelters made with reeds and rushes -and luckily purchased a freehold hut for a fig of tobacco, which T improved as others had done. Orathe arrival of the dray, by puttins; a carpet over the thatch, sheeting on the inside, a table-cover for the door, rushes for the floor, on which was laid a hearth-rug, tben a mattrass ; my neighbours having sup plied me with cooking utensils, wood for the cutting, I had a substantial meal ready for the wife and two children, who I can assure you, did full justice to it. There is no doubt many of those who arrived with me have gone long since to their last home. I of course had reported myself to Colonel Gawler the fiist day of arrival. Government House was partly, if I remember right, wattle and dab thatched, a very primitive affair, as was the Land Com missioner's and J. Hurtle Fisher's residence, an office to which I was attached ; and the Survey office. The chimney of Mr Fisher's (now !Sir James Hurtle Fisher) caught fire, which communicated to the thatch, and we were burnt out; and it was with some diffi culty that; Fisher, who was ill, was got out. Mis Fisher was absent from home. There were a few buildings erected, mostly of wood interspersed with wattle and dab, mud, &c, tents and shanties, carpets, blankets, and sheets being brought into requisition. Our cooking was not done in large fireplaces, for we had none. We had to supply our selves with wood and, water cither before or after office hours from the highest to the lowest, all were alike. You had to keep your eye on the pot with your dinner, or a stray dog or pig might appropriate it. My neighbour had a deep saucepan in which we had a leg of mutton (joiut interest by special order from Mr. Cook, tho butcher.) We thought it safe, but were alarmed by a great noise. On running out we saw a pig ab sconding with his head stuck fast in the pot, the hot water pouring out upon him. AYe got our leg of mutton, little if any the worse. All put up with the discomfort, accepting cheerfully our position, i^'gs, Is. each ; fowls, 10s. each ; salt butter, 2a. 6d. to 3d. Gd. Other things in proportion.
