SCARLET FEVER IN QUEENSLAND.

MEBOURNE,

October 23. The Ministers having been only sworn 'id _ announced in Parliament, both Houses we adjourned to November 17, for the ictions Opposition is {promised to all the Ministers, but at present it is not of a very formidable description. Dr Madden, the Solicitor-General, is to be opposed by Mr v Jj King, and the Minister of Railway at Bijlarat, by a man named Finchane. A difficulty has been experienced in finding other candidates. _ The Great Britain arrived after a passage of 52 days. \ _ . Scarlet fever is increasing rather than abating, but the City Council is adopting the most stringent measures. _ While the Government will impose a pro perty tax, there will be a remission of duties 5n articles used generally, and more espe cially by the working ciasses. The Exhibition closes 15 November. The attendance continues good. At the exhibi tors' dinner on Thursday night, Sir Charles HcMahon presided, Sir John O'Shaunassey and Sir Kedmond Earny were also pi-eaene. Mr McPherson, chief secretary, responded for the ministry. The cable Co. will adopt the word to word system from next year. Sugars slow, a slight improvement, flour has advanced to Ll3, wheat L 6 ss, New Zealand milling oats 13 10s. Measles are very pervalent_|among the Kanakas on the sugar plantations of Queens land. 30 died. The Government are likely to engage the service of an English engineer to carry out the new system of natives to supply the sugar plantations. Queensland is suffering from drought. It is believed this season will not exceed 30,000 tons in Acelaide.

Meetings have endorsed the Government policy in regard to the stamp duties.

SYDNEY.

October 23. Burgess has been sentenced to death for Berrion murder.

NELSON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Arrival of the Otago.

The Otago left Melbourne on the 23rd of October, and arrived this morning. The bar was too rongh for her to be tendered at Hokitika or Greymouth. She has 16 saloon and 81 steerage passengers for all ports. She brings no later cable news. She sailed for Wellington at 10 a.m.

RUSSELL.

(From our own correspondent.) This day.

The following vessels loaded, are lying wind-bound: Policeman, Maud, Elsinore, Fawn.

Whaling boats are out capturing whales, but the weather is much against them.?

It is raining very heavily. Wind N. E,

Mr. R. Arthur sells at noon on Monday, at his Auction Rooms, some of the finest property in the city and suburbs viz., 11 shops and dwellings in Hobson-street; valua ble block land at Epsom, the haadsome villa residence of the late John Williamson, and some beautiful patches of land for villa sites. The whole is very valuable and we are sure the competition will be immense. Macaulay - New Zealander. — Philanthropists gloried in the writings of Macaulay. wherein he pictures his New Zealander sitting and musing on a broken arch of London Bridge whilst contemplating the ruins of St. Paul's. A direct negative to the opinion of many scientific writers that the Aborigines must perforce become extinct as the immigrant increased and multiplied. Christianity having over come most of the difficulties inherent in the customs and prejudices of these islanders, yet the poor Maori is decreasing rapidly from a more insidious cause than open murder or warfare, by imitating the white man's dress, donning scraps of clothing, and ex posing themselves continually in a moist climate ■without a change by night or day, bat regardlessly drying their rags on their backs around their camp fires, colds, coughs, and consumption adding its thousands of victims to this otherwise salubrious country. The " London Cough Cure," so admirably adapted for the relief of such cases, is rapidly finding its way to all parts of the world; so we trust that a timely use of this invaluable remedy in New Zealand may asßist in preserving a remnant of this noble race to view with wonderment the bridge and the Fane such grand examples of the skill of the past as well as the more modern scientific discovery of this "London Cough Cure." F. Newberry and Sons, 37, Newgate-street, London, E C, are the agents, for this medicine.—Copied from the London Daily News.

PROVINCIAL HANDBOOK, for 1876- Tlie publishers of tlie Aitck-Aisd Axmanao a»» Provincial Handbook desire to intimata that the fourth number of their publicatien is now in the press and will be issued as early as convenient. Its compilation is in an advanced mate, and the volume win contain many new features which cannot fail to co mmend ii to the judgment of the large section ot the people who have hitherto given it such a hberal support, and to increase its popularity with all sections of reader?.

We sro indebted to Captain lialla, of the ship City of Auckland, bow in port, for the testimony given by passengers ccraing out under his care, to the value of the Handbook as » source of information and a guide to new-comers ; and Mr Edward Perkins has also written from the United States, forwarding various testimonials and letters of thanks from railway managers who have placed copie3 at their variousj,central,depots for the use ol through passengers to New Zealand and Aus tralia, and otheis interested in the colonies. Copies are shelved in all leading English and colonial libraiies, colonial newspaper offices, and on board mail steamers and immigrant sh'ps for perusal during the voyage. We need not exLatiate on the impoitmce to the community of a book of this kind, a work calculated to keep Auckland and its resouices promi nently in view, and to create in the minds of straDgers the idea of Auckland and New Zealand as almost synonymous terms.
