WELLINGTON

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. A Medical Flare Up. The formation of the new Medical Society here is a signal instance of the truth of the saying that "Doctors differ." It appears that a number of the medical men of the <sity determined on establishing a society for <the protection of the profession, but as even •doctors have their little tiffa and disagree ments, there are a few who refrain from ex changing with each other the usual little •courtesies of society. The first consequence of this was that none were invited to attend the preliminary meeting except those who be longed to the mutual admiration circle. Those who did not happen to he on the most friendly terms with the promoters were studiously left without an invitation. It was only through the Press that they became aware of what had been done by a few of their brother medicos. This of course raised the daDder of those who were left out. They ■considered it a studied insult and a slur upon the profession, that personal feeling should *be imported into a movement of the kind. The result is that an apology will have to be made, or in all probability the newly formed society will collapse by the withdrawal of thos»a who have no private animosities, and who sympathise with their slighted brethren. Outbreak of Scarletina. Scarletina has broken out at the Te Aro •end of the city. Six children in one family ill with it, three seriously, two dangerously. The father also, it is fearod, is sickening for thedisease. The medical attendant (Hon. Dr. Grace), has taken all due precautions to avert risk of the infection spreading, and has given notice to the Board of Health that scarlatina exists in the city. The Opera Company. The Simonsen Opera Company are having a highly successful season here, with capital louses. Madam Sknonsen's singing is much admired, and Mr Morley is pronounced the finest tenor yet heard here. In " Sonnam bula " after his song, a scena of excitement ensued never equalled here before. The house and even orchestra literally rose and cheered him, recalling him thrice. " Hermits Bell" was produced last night, and was an Immense success.

DUNEDIN.

Saturday. Breach of Promise Case.

The breach of promise action, Miss Camp bell v J. Shand, of Taieri, has been settled by defendant paying £100 and all costs.

THE NEW MUSEUM AND INSTITUTE.

A wondeeful change has come over the Interior of the new Museum since Saturday. By dint of continuous hard work on the part of Mr Oheeseman and his corps of assistants, paid and voluntary, the scene of confusion which greeted the visitor then has now been metamorphosed into the most beautiful exhi bition of works of art which has ever been presented to the public of Auckland. The work of arrangement had progressed sufficiently this morning to warrant the con fident belief that everything will be ready for the opening ceremonial at eight o'clock this evening. Down stairs the splendid collections of minerals and rocks has been sat out in perfect order, and several fresh cases of valuable specimens have been added. Two oases at the far end are filled with old china,,exhibited by Mrs Whltaker. Some very ancient and curious ware is included in this collection, oonspicuous being some fine specimens of Dragon china. But it is upstairs in tha gallery that the coiip d' ml is particularly striking. Prominent in the array of beautiful objeots to be seen, are the piotures. Tne Society of Artists have their Black and White Exhibition hung on the left hand side. The exhibits in this interesting section are so numerous that some difficulty has been found to make room for them. The wall is com pletely covered with drawings in pencil and chalk, some of which are of a high order of merit. On the opposite wrll are the oil and water-colour paintings, which have been lent for the opening by private individuals. There are three rows of these one above another, and the general effect is excellent. We notice tne efforts of most of our local artists, amateur and professional, but we must re serve criticism for a future notice.

Miss Isaacs and Miss Leech have con tributed beautiful collections of shells ; Mr Waymouah shows his graceful yacht models ; Mr Garnaut has a place for his frigate model, shewn at the opening of the Market House. A large number of highly interesting Maori mats are Bhown by Messrs Shepherd, Bar stow, and Smailes, and look well hung over the railing of the gallery. V^.ln the case exhibited by Mr J. E. White and Mr T. Leigh "White, the bronze antiques comprise the followingi:! Etruscan hand lamp, probably 2000 years old ; Irish spear heads, chisels, crucifix, eto. ; Egyptian dagger, with figure of Isis for handle ; ancienjfc Saxon medallion ; Roman toga fastener. There are also included in this case a curious leaden censer (early English); speci mens of old window glasa from Oxford Cathe dral, found during recent restorations, date olose of the 15th century; specimen of ancient Roman glass ; copies of inscriptions on the walls of catacombs (jßome), photo graphed by limelight; a very old greenstone mere, and other artioles of rarity and value. Amongst the natural objects in this case we notice a pair of sponge skeletons (euphlectella speoiosa); a very perfect crystal from Switzerland ; ancient amber rosary beads ; stone axe (New Caledonia); antique Irish glass beads, and several rare shells. Mr Greenshields exhibits,, a ' silk-printing loom, and a variety of patent spring belts. The piece of work displayed in the loom has the following words woven in silken letters : " Auckland Institute and Museum, June 5, 1876." Thiß, we presume, is the first piece of silk cloth ever made in the colony. How ever simple it may appear, as a work of art it will bear investigation by any one skilled

i« suca matters. We have also seen braces muds m the same way. They are extremely pretty, and will ,k s t a life-time. ;£h<r belts have a spring m the bank, some of the springs being formed of india-rubber rings, others of rubber elastic, and aro evidently * sreat de sideratum to those who use belto in preference to braces. Such local industries deserve en couragement, and will no doubs be duly appreciated.

SIR GEORGE GREY'S EXHIBITS. By far the most interesting objects to be seen in tbo Exhibition are the old manu scripts and books contributed by hin Honor the Superintendent. These S,re of extraordi nary antiquity and rarenes?, and would, be interesting to. any exhibition in the world It is needless to say they are of enormous value As taese will be sure to attract the lion's share of public attention, we append a list of the most notabie volumes t—The Faerie Queene.

Accident in Parnell.

An accident occurred on Saturday afternoon in Purnell, which waa singularly slight in its effects, considering the nature of the occur rence. Mr William George's sod, Richwd, while driving his father's carb, found it necessary to stimulate the exertions of his steed with an application of whipcord. The horse responded with a sudden spurt which jerked the driver off his seat headforemost on to the roadway. Fortunately the lad was able to save himself by holding out his hands, but the cart immediately passed over one of his arms above the elbow. Upon being picked up it was found that althongh the lad's face waa a good deal scratched, and his arm bruised and swollen, there were no bones broken, and apparently no other injury of a very serious character.

FOOT RACE.

A foot-race between two local amateurs, Messrs A. Good and F. Gibson, took place this afternoon, for £10, on the Remuera road. Both men havo been in training for the last month, and the event caused some stir in sporting circles. The men and their admirers went out by the 2 p.m. train.

■ Some time ago we mentioned the fact of a parishioner of St Marks Church, Romuera, having given the munificent donation of £300 towards building a Spire for that suburban Church. Plans and specifications were drawn by Mr Herepath, and tenders received. These were not accepted, but subsequently fresh plans were drawn by Messrs Keala and Son. Tenders for which were received, resulting! as0follows: Cameron, £695; Con stable, £GSO; Layers, £560; A. K. Watson, £540 y Philcox and Bartley, £530; Pollard, £397. The last will not be taken up, so the lowest tender is that of Messrs Philcox and Bartley, and only £230 above the amount promised by one gentleman. The present design is for a spiro of suitable height and substantial, to accom modate the 11 cwt. Church-bell of Sb Marks, and let its tones bo heard to advantage over the whole of the parish.

The want of proper Steamer Accomodation between Auckland, Thames, and Coromandel has been severe ly felt for so considerable a time that tho Projectors of this Comp*ny now propose to form a Joint Stock Company (Limited), for the purpose of having a Boat built txpresaly for passenger and cargo traffic, not only to meet the pressing demand* of trade, but with suoh increased speed as to limit the passage to and from Auckland to fonr hours. A contract at once to be entered into with Messrs Eraser & Tinne. Auck land, for a First-class Iron Boat, rep'.ete with every modern improvement and accomodation, to be ready by December next, and estimated to cost £11,000, The nominal capital of tho Company is estimated at £12,600, £1,500 being allowed to meet contingencies. The guarantee, as regards the now Boat, to be as follows :—Speed to ho 12 knots per hour ; and for every knot less than 12 knots per hour, her builders t,o forfeit at tho rate of £1,000 per knot Should the speed of the Boat exceed 12 knots, the builders to recsive a bonus of £1,000 for every knot over 12 knots par hour : such bonus to be taken up in shares in the new Company. It will thus be observed that the Projectors m6an to provido the accommodation required so much by the public, at the same ttao to have a Company which will give to Shareholders a handsome return for the capital invested' The number of Europew inhabitants in the Hauraki district betnjr over 15,000, with the large settled populations at Coromaudel and Thames, and the growing districts of Tairua, Ohinsmurl. and Piako, and tlia immediate prospect of a large addition, through the development of gold mining and agripul tural tntarasla (as woll as tho largo native population, who form a considerable item in passenger traffic), provide a field for the enterprise of the projected Steam Company second to none in New Zealand, i NEW TfcK<ESS WATERIALS.
