In the February number of the United States Consular heports appears a report from Mr Consul tiriffia on the Union Steam ship Company, Tbo paper civea a succinct narrative of the growth of tho company, and a Hat of its steamers, their tonnage and steaming powers. Mr R, O Creighton has written a letter to a frisnd in 4 uckland, in which he spcaki of kiß mission to Washington an having been a complete succea*.

Bis Worship H. G. Seth Smith presided at the Police Court this morniag, when the following business was transacted : Thon. • •'Byrne, Daniel Caliaghan, John Cotter, Henry Brown, Peter WheJan, and Jamea O'Connor were found guilty of drunkenneai and fined accordingly. Wru, Henry Smith pleaded guilty to a breach of the by-laws, by leaving a case on the cirriage-road in Alexan(lru«Btreet on June 16th, and thereby obstructing the thoroußhlare. Fined 5s and costs. Steven Cherringlon, for hiving no lawful visible means of support, was senteuoed to one month's imprisonment. Timothy Hayes was charged with allowing a horse to stray in Vulcan Lant, bat d«niea ownership of the animal, aqd the cote was ditimiased. This was all the business.

At a meeting of tbe Grammar School Board of Governors held this morning, it wan definitely Bgretd that the properties in New Road, Alpha Koad, and Cracroft street (F«rnell) and in Alton Road and Wynyard-street, should be put up for lease by auction on the Sth of September next. CerUin of the allotments in Parn«l), from which tbe bnildingaiare to be removed, as well as the Alten Koad allotment*, are to be leased for fifty yean, while the ten remaining Farnelt allotments and the Wvnynrd-itreet ones are to be leased for the »horter term of ten years. The city property comprises some magnificent sites, tor which there will doubtless be a very spirited competition.

/<£' he passage of tha Bast Lothian from London proved an sncventfnl one. The passengers arrived in Rood health. One birth has to be recorded, viz., at 4 p.m. yesterday Mrs Bnrridge was tafely delivered of a daughter. The ship will come up tbe harbour after disc-barging explosives at the powder ground.

We understand that the committee of St. Andrew's Church have in contemplation an entertainment of a novel and exceedingly attractive character in aid of tbe fund for defraying the cost of the new tower. It is neither mote nor less than an exhibition chesa match played with ladies and gentlemen suitably attired to represent the various pieces, such as kiugc, queens, rooks, bishops, knights, and pawns. The affair will probably take place either in theChoml Sail, Theatre, or Opera House,and a number of ladies have already promised their assistance, while there is no lack of gentlemen volunteers. Such a match took place at Uunedin some time ago, and proved a complete success, tbe performers playing their parts with considerable aptitude, and the spectators being delighted with the display. It is intended that tho local pre parations shall be made oh a sumptuous scale, and the report goes that tbe costumes of the queens are to be something worth seeing and remembering.

John McGill senr., of Pokeno, writes com plaining of favonrtisni in the Mercer Court, be being fined £2 for selling; a hen pheasant, while two influential Aucklanders were only fined £1 each for a breach of the game laws. On remonstrating with the Bench, bis license was cancelled. He con siders this ia proof tbat there is one law for the rich and another for tbe poor,

His Worship, Mr H. G. Seth Smith, Esq., to-day delivered judgment in the case Haddock v. Captain H. F. Anderson, a claim for wages as steward of the, Deveron. The case was argued on Saturday by Mr Cotter for the plaintiff, and Mr Theo. Cooper for the defendant, when judgment was reserved. His Worship to-day de livered judgment, and after stating that the complainant was engaged by' tbe master, who was appointed by the charterer of the ship, held that there was no maritime lien nnder £50. In England the jurisdiction of tbe Admiralty Court was given to the County Courts in sums up to £150, but the New Zealand Act was defective la that retpect. That being so, he reviewed the provisions of the charter party, and held that it amounted to a dem<se of the chip. The word " owner" had had an interpretation put upon it by tbe case Meiklcreid v. West, the L»w Kepor's Queen's Bench Division quoted by Mr Cooper, and meant owner pro hac vice. That case was upon similar p ovision to sec 51 of our Act. The word owner in B?cs 71 and 72 he thought bad the same meaning. He thought, therefore, there \ was no privity between the complainant' aad defendant, and gave judgment io*r the I defendant with costs. . .. |

I In our report of tbo Judge's charge yoater j day, in His Honor's'remarka on the bribery } ens?, a misprint ocenrred. Ihe words: "The officer was undoubtedly morally wrong," should read "the letter was un doubtedly nforally wrong." The context would show the error.

To the Editor : Sir,—l wish to draw the attention of the police, through your columns, to tbe insufferable nuisance of grown-up boys in Parnell insulting women who may have business to do outside their homes utter dark, and who are frequently insulted by these hoodlums. I could state a case, but at present refrain, I hope the police will kindly request those youths to move on.-I am, &c, A BKBIDENT.

"jNcllie Gray" sends a letter in reply to "Victim " that he only received one £3, "which was settled per contra account." All we can say on tho matter is that aDy one who is fool enough to send three pounds in response to such vague advertisements as "Nellie Gray's," well deserves to have 'thorn " settled per contra account."

JF meeting of veterans of the Kussian war of 1854-45, was hdd io 'the Carltou, Aeulemy, Hobson-atreet, last evening. Captain Handley was voted to the chair, Mr W. H. Hazird was elected secretary, and Captain Burmingbam treasurer. Cap tain Hazard produced a document showing that as cornet ia the Scot's Greys ho had the right troop of that regimont ia tbe heavy brigade charge at Balaclava, where he was wounded. On the motion of Mr Power, seconded "by Mr A. Cairn?, it was agreed thnt tho fall of Sebastopol be com memorated by a dinner, to take place ou tbo evening of November 10th next, and Messrs. Cairns, Robertson, Steens, Power, and Burmingham were appointed a com mittee to cjrry out arrangements.

Tho following are the tenders received by thu Pokcno Presbyterian Church Com mittee for building Cburch, labour only : - J.

The building is in tho Gothic stylo, 25 x 40, with porch 7 x 10, and vestry 10 x 10.

A debate on the question, " I» it desirable that no land in a new country »hould be permanently alienated by the Crown ?" was ably distuased last night by ihe members of the St. Sepulchre's Mutual Improvement Society, Archdeacon Dudley (president) in the chair. Tho question wan opened in tbe affirmative by Mr Lusk, and negatived by Mr I Rth'.r. There was a good attendance. The principal speakers were Messrs Cherry, Connell. Gamble, Gentles; Martin, and the president. The debate was continued with spirit until half past ton, the majority taking tho negative side. The discussion wa« especially instructive to young men, In his reply, Mr Lusk expressed his gratifica jiou in introducing a question which haa been attended with su'en pleasing results.

At tbe meeting of the Colonial Institute on tho BtQ, a paper was to have been ruad about "Ceyldn," but owing to the non arrival of tho article, a lecture by Mr Wm. Campbell on " The Best Means of Expedit ing Postal Communication With India aod Australasia" was substituted, Several New Zealand "fellows" wore prcicnt. Amongst others I noticed Sir Glian.Stirlinj:, Mesiri J. Studholmo, J. Nairn, K. Jsairti, G. W. Kusdon, .Samuel Bailey, John Lots, H. K. Ku«*eM, John A. leane, A. C h'trode, and W. Actou Adam*. The papor undortook to phew how a service might be established with India in six days and Aus tralia in sixteen dayH. The route advo cated by railway via Constantinople, Asia Minor, Persia, India, Burutah, tho Strait Settlements to Singapore, theno by steamor to Port Parwin, Australia, which ought to be reached from London in sixteou days. Three alternative routes were suggested.

The annual nieetiog of subscribers to the Newmarket Hall aud Literary Institute was held iastnlgbt, MrGeorgo Hishopiu the chair. The attendance wns an improve. lutsnt on former meetings. The bon. eecre tary (Mr W. Dinnisou) road the miuutcs of last annual moeting, which were duly con firmed ; ho also read statement of accounts as follows:—Balance from last account, £16 14s ; reserve from subscriptions, ront of hall, &c., £91 09 6d; from Gorernmcnt, £13 14s9d ; withdrawn from Savings limk, £31658 d.

The chairman stated that they were now In a position to pay off all the present debt, and that negotiations were in progress to make a considerable addition to the hall buildings, n.« the present accommodation wait found inade quate for tho requirements of the district. The following gentlemen were elected Committee of «»au»Roment for tho current year: -Messrs G. Bishop, \V. Morgan, J Webber, J. Taite, and W. DinnUon. At a meeting of the comraltteo after, Mr Bishop was elected chairman, Mr Morgan treasurer, and Mr W, iJenulson hon. secretary.

A very amusing caso was heard at the Police Court this morning, wh*n tho notable Timothy Hayes was charged with allowing hi« horse to stray in Vulcnn Lane. The police stated that the horsn was found wandering during the night and was taken to Timothy who claimed ownership; *übie* queulty th« animal again got loose, was kindly housed by somebody in Young's stables, Victoria-street, and thus calmly took farewall of this weary world, never more to play " the vagrant" and annoy the police. Timothy sec np a most elaborate defence, arguing that tbe horse was not hi-, and that when he took a certain animal from the police it was so covered with mud that he didn't know but it was his poor beast come down from the Waikatn. Hn questioned Sergeant Ularke and other witnesses at great length, and alter a lengthy argument induced the Court to dismiss the cose, by giving Timothy tho benefit of the doubt. The question now arises, (aa Timothy denies ownership) who is to pay for the housing, foeding, and bnrir.l of the dead horse in Young's stables, for nobody appears to know ho ir the arrived got there.

To the Editor: Sir,--In your issuo of :-aturr!ay you bad two scintillations to tho following effect:—That tho nursing at the Hospital was of a wrotched description, and that under proper organization it ought to be made a model institution. It is only fair to say that the above ideas arc bused on an inspection made by Dr Gralham some four or five months ago. The first applies to the old system of nursing, or rather attendance, for nursing it could not fairly ho called ; an I, as to the latter part, permit me to say that tho present lady superintendent is just tho very person, by her ability and tho evident interest sbo takes in her office, to briny about that desirable end, to., that of making tho Hospital a model one, at least, in her department, if properly Bupported by tho authorities. As to tho medicul depart ment, that may bo reckoned on with con fidence, as tbe honorary visiting stall' is composed of gontlemen of tho greatest ability iv tho pwvince,—l am, &c, A Visitor.

A bighly-successfuj concort, intorsporaed ■with literary selections, was givcu last evening in the Trinity School-ronnj, Devon port, under tbe auspices of the Dovonport Literary As-ociation. In the absence of the Bey. J. Bate, President, the chair was occupied by Mr T. Leigh White, ono of the vice-presidents, The programme was ample and varied, and we regret that the spaco at our command will not admit of referring to it in detail. The principal musical items were an ovettuie and trio by tun Messrs Bartley, and s-mgs by Miss Harriet Bur gess, Mr George Head, Mr Lunders, and Mr T. Bartley; duets by Miss 11. Burgess and Miss Gllmer, and pianoforte solos by Mies Philcox. Each item was well per formed, tbe rich, resonant soprano of Miss Burgess especially being a rare treat. The litcrury selections comprised "Tbe Kc treat from Khoord Kabul," by Mr H. B. Morton, and a scene from "Julius Caxiar" by the same gealleman, both given with g-oat puri'y of Intona'loa and im preasive delivery, Mr Gerald T. Pcacocke read "Professor Quackenbos'a Vindication of Nebuohadnezzir"by MaxAdler, "The Priest and the Eacon " by Lever, and, in contrast to these, Gerald Griffith's exquisite gem, ". Ode to a Seagull." This gentleman is equally at home in pathos or comedy, and is invariably acceptable. A gap in the programme, caused by the regretted absence of Mr Harrison, was filled up by the chair man reciting " Tbe Death of Marmiou." A vote of thatiks to the ladies was proposed by the indefatigable secretary, Mr Charles Bates, who fairly reviled in the conptDul theme, and "brought down the hou-o." Toe ►nunnnl Anthem was then sung by the audience wlih a heartiness which khe'wed that Her Won Gracious Majesty's sacrid throne aud person ate all right ao far ns "our marine ciiburb " i:i cnnccrneil. It is perhaps aa well that this should be known.

The mooting of the committee of tke Siilors' Kest, which was to have taken placo last ovcuinz, in the Diocesau office, In surance Buildings, was postponed. His Lordship Bishop Cowie was present, and apologies were read from His Worship the Mayor and other gentlemen, who were un able io attend; consequonily it was con sidered advisable to postpone the business.

The fortnightly meeting of .tho Sir Heniy Havelock Band of Hope was, held last night in theechojl-room, Alexandra-street, There was a largo attendance. The secre tary presided, and introduced Messrs liobinson and Harding, who gave short but telling addresses on Temperance. # The programme comprised the following items, viz. : -Recitations by Mrs Anderson, Alfred Brett, Harry Kyan, and Miss Sarah Froude j reading, Miss A. Kainbow ; song, ltichard James. Hymns from Hoy ley's collection were nung at intervale, Miss Battcusby presiding at the harmonium The anniversary was announced to take 1 place on July 30th. This Band of Hop'c is going ahead, six new members being enrolled lust nigbt. The meeting was closed by Mr Thompson at 8 30.

Earner's panorama of the American War opened at the Opera House last evening to a good audience. The naaorama, which several yoars ago wa« exhibited here with great success, presents excellent pictures of tho principal events connected with the memorable struggle between the Northern States of America, and proves throughout interesting and instructive. The promised distribution of gifts took place, when Mrs Campbell, of Graham-street, received the suite of furniture. Mrs Lafferty, of Hobson street, got a valuable clock, and a lady resident of Jcrmyn-street was presented with the tea and coffee service. Another performance to-night.

To the editor: Sir,—" A wrong that need* resisting" is to be soon dally in the association of milk-cans with pig-swiil and manure, The wro'ches who thus tritlo with buiuaa health and life ought to be sum maiily arrested, tho whole thiogconnscated, and a heavy fine or imprisonment awarded. Surely the meshes of the Public Health Act have been constructed to net such game as this; it «o, what are the police doing? for the thing is not done In a corner—it may be scon every day almost, Perhaps this is cne of "the liberty of tbe subject" fads. A little wholesome des potism, until men sease to insult and defy cv■ rything which decent people cherish, would be a good thing in these times, when not a few individuals "do whatso ever fioemeth goad la their own eye»" (and pockets too) utterly regardless of how other folks may be affected.—Yours, &c, KoBT.

The regular monthly entertainment in aid of tho funds (or St Benedict's Church was hold in the above building last evening, and proved highly successful, bath musically and finan cially. Before 8 o'clock, the building was liter ally packed, and (ally 60 peoplo had to go away through want of accommodation. The Rev. Fathers Downoy, Vaggioli, and O'Qara were present. These onnoerts have beoomo so popu lar that the committee are thinking of holding the next in the School-room, corner of Pitt ana Hobson-Btroots.

The Fisheries Exhibition,

LONDuS, May 17.

There is great disappointment and dis satisfaction in Anglo-Colonial circlet at the wretched figure cut by the Australasian colonies at the Fisheries Exhibition. Xas mania and New South Wales are the only portions of the antipodes represented at all, the name of New Zealand not even appear ing in the first edition of the catalogue. This is the more aggravating because (as 11 heard Sir Gore Browne remark to a friend oq the opening day) the Maoris have all sorts of strange ways of catching fish, and a Maori court would have been at least as interesting as the Chinese one, besides attracting the attention of thousands to the possibility of Helling New Zealand frozen fish in London, and vice versa. If the authorities nt Wellington had oply shown a little forethought, mullet, sohnapper, and antipodean oysters might have laiu on aounten of the exhibition market side by side with tho sturgeon from Russia, cod from Newfoundland, and salmon from the Canadas. Even cow It might be wortb while for some enterprising colonist to send home a small lot of frozen fish. > hi Exhibi tion will be open for .»ix mouths certain, probably for longer, aud the arrival of a parcel of strange fi»h, Iresh, and in good condition, »fUii a jouru-y of 14,000 miles, could not fail to provoke a genuine sensa tion. Britain's other colonies are so fully and admirably represented, it will really be a great pity if nothing is done to show good fish can be caught off tho New Zealand coast, Tbe present in ference is. naturally, that there are none worthy the name In the colony, for the Exhibition is such a stupendous affair that people ate not likely to 'believe your Executive deliberately ignored it. Very few coloniati were able to obtain plat form tickets for the opening ceremoay, but amongst those present I observed Sir Gore Browu, Sir Arthur Gordon, Uf John Uoode, Sir Dillon Bell, Sir Charles Clifford, &c

Mace and the Maori. Mace and his Maori pugiliut, Slade, were in London the other day, and are now tour, ing in the North of England. The Anglian sporting papers seem to be loud iv their praises of blade's appearance, which, the "Figaro" Bays, Is suggestive of even greater s'rougth and longer reach than the famous Heenan possessed. Great efforts are bolng made to arrange for a display of hi* talent*, and chore are even rumours of a surreptitious revival of the glories of the lr\tt« for the purpose, Mace, curiously enough, does not ploane his old friend^. They say he baa grown a great " braggart" and quite lost " form." Mr Stead's Success. The name of Mr G. G. Stead, the popular H.'/j. turfite, has just now been pronunantly before the public, owing to the victory of his colt, Splendor, in tbe rich Payne Stakes at Newmarket, It appears when Mr Stead was in Kngland a few years ago, he pur chased the colt (which is by Speculum out of Bathilde) at one of tbe yearling sales, and sent bim to Matthew ua»»», of Heath i douse, Newmarket, to be trained, As a t* 0-year-old, Splendor failed to win any of ; the races for which he was started, but last week a maiden allowance of lOlos enabled him to beat the French crack jLadialae, and win the Payne Stakes, a raw for three-year olds worth £1,070. Hprendor la in the Derby, for which he has been backed at 30 to 1 aud 40 to 1 to win upwards of £60,000. New Zealand JPresentattons at Court. At the Drawing Boom which the Princess of) Wales held last Tuesday on behalf of the Queen, Mrs John Smdholme, of Christ chnrcti, aud Lady Vogel were presented by the Uountoss of Derby. New Zealand Irontand

The " Colonies and India" of a recent date contained an article congratulating the good folk* of Auckland and Tarsnaki on the prospect of at length being able to turn to account the rich ironsand on the shores of the Worth liland. A factory (says the writer) has been formed on tbe spot with a view to subjoetUß the sand to a " patent" treatment, and should this nuo cued, the places where it can be obtained will become extraordinarily valuablo. There was some talk not long >go of Bend inn an English "expert1 outtoreconniitre, ami if desirable, purchase a portion of the property; but we presume nothing will now be done till tbe result of Mr Jonra's speculation \* known.

The morning journal of the 12th con* taiacd a letter from New Zealand, an* nonncing the discovery *f some stones supposed to be diamonds In the Auckland district, and quoting an account of tho tests applied. Mr Henry Bramall, M.1.C.X., read a paper before the Liverpool Geological Society la»t Thursday on the "Mineral Ko.on rccs o( New Zealand." He doscribtd t th« goldfield* there at length, and gave full details ot the methodi of working, mode of tenure, &s. The lecture is said to have been mom, interesting. Pm-ional Gossip. Judge Manning nontinnea about the same. He is still deluged with oallert; amongst those who dropped in at Fitzroy Square during the present week being the J£arl and Countess ot Pembroke, Mr Louis Nathan, Mr Charlm Wyatt Watling, Mr Domett, Mr Charles Smith of Wanganni, Mr John C.

I was in Leadenhall Market yesterday, and observed a notice stuck np in a big butcher'ii shop to this effect: " All the ex* cellent New Zealand meat ex ship Dunedin is done, bat another vessel will arrive in a few da) B." lhe Direct Steam Service.

Both myself and a reporter have made frequent attempts to see Mr Coster, of the N.Z. Shipping (Jo., with a view to ascer taining tho reason wuv, after *caring away all opposition, they Dover tendered for (he direct steam service contract. Somehow, one can never catch him. He it either "outof town," or "not here," or "very busy," or "just going to Juncb," bo that I hare como to the conclusion he doesn't want to be askod awkward questions by the Press. Even at the Agent-General's Office thoy don't seem to know exactly why the attempts to provoko tenders failed. The current explanation (as I told you before) ia that the N.Z.f. Co frightened away every body else. Many, however, say the terms were not sufficiently favourable, and that directly sundry alterations were undo the N Z.S. folks will tako up the .-ontract.

The British King s.s. has not arrived yot, so tho N.Z.S. Co. have chattered one of the Cnnard Co.'s Boston fleet, the Cata lonia, to take her place. The Catalonia is a 3,000-ton vessel, substantially rather than gorgeously fitted, but a good sea boat and very comtortable. She docs not, I under* stand, steam as fast as the lonic, but will tun out easily in 50 days. Only a few pas sengers are booked by her as yet. Harmevs for Walkato. The Wairoa, which sails for Wellington to-morrow (Friday, 18th May) will be a full chip, I gay i you in my last the names of a number of taaners going out in her to settle up tbe Waikato way.

Miscellaneous. The death of Mr Kirkham. the well known breeder of thoroughbred sheep, is an nounced. Sir Hercules Robins v is in London. • Mr Moncure Conway, the famous Theist preacher, is about to make a voyage to Ausralia and Now Zealand for his health. There is some talk °f converting the Great Eastern into a depot for frozen meat, J but I hardly think it will come to-any thing.

Jtomantic Story about Alice May. The English and American papors are full of a romantic sto'f about Alice May, whom I dare say yon may remember acting in Now Zealand some years ago. It ap pears that Miss May captivated a wealthy colonist named James Williams when ehe played in Melbourne, and this estimable person has followed her about ever since. First the actress came to Eng land, and obtained an engagement at tbe Alhambra, She had naturally forgotten the episode of Mr Williams, when, alter playing a month or two, a bouquet, accom panied by a caid that recalled the Mel bourne adventure, was left for her at thu stage door. It transpired that Mr Wil. Mains, unable, he said to live without a Bight of her, bad cold his business and started as soon as possible after she left Melbourne for London. During tbe Alhambra en gagement Mr Williams was at the Theatre I nightly, but the run of tbe piece crime to <an end at last, and MiisMay, without in forming her adorer, sailed for New York, witti tho idea ot making a protracted tour in the States. A wesk or two ago Miss May was rehearsing " Satanella" at the Standard Theatre, New York, when a card was brought her, aud slie once more read the familiar inscription, James Williams. Her devoted admirer, who seems to quite igoore the fact that bia enchantress is married, had once more croised the oceaa to be near her, and as soon, as the Stand ard Theatre box office w*w opened, it is said that a second row stall was booked in the name of James Williams for the run of the piece. The best part of the joke, however, is that Mis 3 May has long been married.

Miss Lingard's Failure. Mr Brues Inn paid dearly for his temer ity in starring Mrs Lizard as Camitle. After the first flush of novelty was over, she failed to draw altogether, and the season came to a prercatuie end. Bruce it now trying tbe tifect of some alternoon perform auoes of the " Colonel," with Mits Lingard as the iris-ky widow, M.cs Brisk. Jjord Carnarvon on Colonial Defence.

In a speeoh in the flouie of Lords last week on Colonial Defence, Lord Carnarvon quoted some striking figure*, showing the volume of British trade which, in a time of war, it would be our duty to protect from an enemy's cruisers. The total tonnage of the British Merchant Navy in 1880 was, his Lordship pointed out, 6,500,000 tons; whilst the tonnage of all the rest of the world was only 8,000,000 tons. These ordinary mind of tlie real extent of the British mercantile marine. The following calculation may, howevir, help one to re alise what these vast figurts really mean :— Taking the average size of each British ship at 300 tons, and the average length of each at only 250 ft., and supposing these ships to bo sailing in single tile, with an interval of two ships' lengths between escb, they would form a line 3.070 miles in length— reaching, that is, right across the' Atlantic and half-way bacJt again. Sailing at the rate of eight miles an hour, this array ot ships would take sixteen days and nights to pass a given point flow to afford better protection to this vast volume of shipping is tho problem which t'.uglmid and tho colonies are called upon to solve. This can only be done by tbe joint assistance of an efficient fleet at sea, and sufficient harbour accow modntioo, with adequate protection against intruders at Hpmo. Australia, New Zea land, and Canada have done much already towards supplying the means for defending their principal harbours against a bostile fleet, but looul action in »uch matter*, to be really effective and useful, should be in harmony with and subordinate to Imperial action.

He thought the Welland Canal an appropriate object to begin with, as it draws tho trade of the whole North West through Canada, and injures America. Tho great cose to annul the marriage of the heiress, Miss Chaffery, with the bogus Lord Cantyre (an English adventurer named Allen), commenced in Montreal on June Btb. The uncle of tbo lady stated she was entitled to receive a fortune of nearly £200,000, left her by her father, an Ottawa lumber king, wben ske became of age.

K. lbberson; 19 silver and copper coins, Mr iShaw ; various coins, A. T. Urquhart Exportation of Live Fish.—Mr Neil Heath read an interesting paper descrip live of aove experiments tbat he had made with the view of testing the possibility of •ending live fish to the English wariest, He had. availed himself of the facilities alforded by the freezing process on board the Mataura, while »be w&e in Auckland harbour, to make two experiments. He obtained a saltwater fish aad a gold-fish, and placed them in cans ot salt and fre.h water in the refrigerator, until they were nnca«ed in solid block? of ice. Be placed anotber salt- water liah in a can|filled with Bilt water, and a silver-fish in a eon of fresh water, which ware put in the "shoot," the temperature of which was below zero Fahr. These were nl«o frozen into a. block of ice. After the freezing was complete, the cine were taken to a " thawing tub." It was found that the silver iish was alive, and after a time be came as active as ever. The salt-water fish was dead. The other experiment was con doned for twelve hour.*, out both the sale water fish and the gold-fish were found to be dead. The writer stated conditions, however, which might result in greater success.

13eituis.—Mr Cheeseman read an entomolofiicil paper by Captain Broun upon some new species of coleoptora, of th« genus eagola. Botany of thk Tham«s.—The sec retary alco read a paper by Mr Jai. Adams, 8.A., upon the botany of the Thames gold li -Ids. It was intended as a supplement to Mr T. Kbk's paper on tho same subject in the second volume ot Insti tute "Transactions," aad gave a par tisularited account of the vegetation on the ranges between Tairua and Tapu Creik. Ninety-fire new species of plants were enumerated, which raited the total number of thos* known to occsr at the ihames to 492.

The Law of Tolbrakge, -Mr Mackech nie read a papir, bearing this title, upon the law in medicine by which, under cer tain abnormal condition!, the body can bs drugged with poisons which otherwise would have a destructive effect upon it. Opium*, alcoho', betel • nut,, .and arsenic were the poisonous drugs specially dealt with. De Qutncey and Pitt were quoted as inttance* abnormal bodily conditions in bo far as opium and alcohol respectively were concerned. The former could take 12,000 grains of opium a day (equal to a quart of laudanum), and two bottles of wine had do more effect upon Pitt than a cap of tea. With a difference only in the particular drng used, the effect was much the same with the arsenic-eaters of Southern Europe and the betel-nut-caters. The fact that races of people lived to the average age under these stimulants showed that there was something in the consti tuents of the nervoui system in particular states that required these poisons to allay irritation. But the difficulty was to doter mine what would be an excessive use of any such remedies, for excess was injurious, and, if continuous, destructive. The paper will bo discussed at the next monthly meeting.
