That tho brewers, wino and spirit mer chants, and publicans will immediately feel the result of tho late licensing election is certain ; indeed, one largo brewer has al ready received an unpleasant reminder of tho change in public sentiment with re spect to the liquor traffic. Tho landlord of ono of his most profitable housos Intimated to tho brewer in question to-day that ho in tends giving up the house when his license expires in June, unless the owner agree to a reduction in tho rent of £200 per annum. At 7 per cent, this means a reduction of nearly £3000 in the capital value of one hotel alone. Wo have heard it stated by pub licans that they havo tho brewers to thank for losing the election. These worthies being quite confident that tho Licensed Victuallers would carry tho clay, did not feci that there was any call for thorn to exercise their influence. It appears to be generally believed that tho houses that will suffer most from the 10 o'clock closing and strict suppression of Sunday trading, will be the mere "drinking shops," and that the houses that have all along most strictly adhered to the provisions of the Act will be in some cases gainers. Houses at which bushmen and country people generally stop will bo benefitted, as the habitues will be compelled to have their "sprees" within their own hotels instead of ranging round the city.

The latest election rumour in the city is to the effect that Councillor Garratt, a Karangahape representative, will contest the Newton seat in the General Assembly at the next election.

For the Albert Licensing District nine persons were nominated, but a dispute has arisen as to who is qualified to vote, as the Rodney County Clerk issued a notice to tho Returning Officer (Mr J. Shepherd) that ho must not allow anyone to vote who had not paid the county rates, whereas those who have paid the Road Board rates claim the rio-ht to vote. The question has been re ferred to Mr Coleman, solicitor, who has been requested to give his opinion on the subject.

The British and Foreign Bible Society has provided a deputation to visit this provincial district early in the approaching autumn for tho purpose of promoting the interests of the Society. Tho Rev. Win. G. Baker held for many years a post in con nection with the Church Missionary Society's Tolugu Mission in the East Indies. He brings with him good testimonials, and has had personal experience of Bible dis tribution in the mission field and omong tho heathen, which must prove of groat value on the platform. Due notice will be given of the services in which he will take part.
