The Dtrnediu City Council have refused to remit the ateß of the Boyß . and Girla . High S-ho-- lg iwo Australian doctors appointed to take oQarge cf Auckland Hospital. New Zealand Wesleyan Conference meets in Auckland this day week. Onehunga means to send a whaleboat crew to the next Auckland Regatta. Mrs Larnach, wife of the Minister of Mines, is very seriously ill. Only about £180 has been, so far, collected for the Bradshaw memorial fund-.

On Thursday night a social meeting takes place in Waite's Hall, Mount Eden, to welcome Rev, Mr Sprott to tbe charge of St. Barnabas' Church.

Some 112 passengers have booked for the excursion to the West Coast Sounds by the Tarawera, of which 72 are from the neighbouring colonies and Europe. A Maori boy of seven years of age, after being lost for twelve days in the bush in Wanganui district, has been found alive and well.

Malone, the sprint runner, hoe challenged Hutchios, the English pedestrian, who is now in Sydney, to run a quarter of a mile race.

Hon. Mr Ballanco left Wellington to-day for the North. He intends to vißit Rotorua, Auckland, and Hokianga, and will not re turn to Wellington for five weeks. Iv Feilding, there ia so much grass in tho streets that people are cautioned during the dry weather against throwing down a lighted match,lest it should cause a general conflagration.

The eldest son of the Rev. D. W. Runci man, the minister of St. Stephen's Church, Ponsonby, has diod of typhoid fever. Thia malignant disease has made its appearance in Auckland earlier than usual this season.

A match hag been arranged between Mc- Cune, of Auckland, .Bain, of Dunedin, £20 a side, in which _l_e former undertakes to walk seven rai|6B while the latter runs ten miles. The match will come off in about a fortnight's time at Wooofville. In the ot.se of tho seaman Williams, charged with stabbing the first officer of the ship Timaru, a Wellington jury yester day brought in a verdict of " Not Guilty." It is stated that Henry Dunn, champion wrestler, proceeds to Melbourne, where he intends to challenge Cannon, who recently defeated Miller. -^-Aj_-i-iß!_for&g_]u_t__i_H4f|»^^ ton by Mr J. McJ. Patterson, who lives at Brancepeth, in North Wairarapa. These pipes, it appears, were played by Mr Patter son's grandfather at Waterloo. He (poetical): " Why should I fear to sip the sweets of each led lip ?" She (practical): "No necessity for alarm at all. I use a vegetable colour which is not poisonous."

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Colonial Treasurer's oiler to refer to arbitration the question at issue between himself and his Dunedin newspaper critics as to the cogency of his arguments in his Dunedin speech on " Protection " has been sharply criticised by both the Dunedin papers. The" Times " makes bold to think that of all the silly things that have ever been done or uttered humeri in important public positions, nothing to excel this proposal has ever yet proceeded from a Minister of the Crown in any English-speaking country in the world. " With all the evidence of bona fides before us," it says,." the uncom fortable feeling will recur that we are being hoaxed—that tho letter i. really the pro duction of some wag whose object is to hold up Sir Julius Vogel to ridicule. If one political economical question can be settled in this happy fashion, why not all others? -Why maintain coßttjr Parliamentary and legal Institutions, in thp face of bo original and so cheap a method of settling controversy and discovering the truth ? If tbe fiscal policy of this colony can be satisfactorily decided by a ten-pound note, there should be many questions cap able of fitfat solution for ten shillings, or even less. For purposes of adjudication and settlement there are only three sorts of persons in the colony—Freetraders, Protec tionists, and persons who know nothing about the subject, and have formed no opinions. Obviously no referees could be got from the third class. It is not customary in any quarter of the world to select judges whose sole qualification is ignorance of tbe sub jects on which they have to adjudicate. Would Sir Julius Vogel be willing to risk his convictions and his ten pounds by re mitting the question to a Freetrader, or does he think there is any Freetrader who, for tbe same jpurpose, would accept'a Pro tectionist? The proposal, from beginning to end, is a piece of absurdity."

The Dunedin " Star " is no less severe. After reminding Sir Julius Vogel of Dr. Johnson's dictum th»t " A bet is the last argument of a fool," it says: "The letter is so inconceivably absurd that we at first suspected a hoax, but there would seem to be no doubt of its genuineness. It will be curious to observe how he may design to make bis two horses pull together—the prohibition of imports and customs duties. Can it he that he is prepared to throw over fin most cherished notion of his politic-1 intelligence,-1 and depend upon direct taxation? If so, it is to bo regretted that ho should put the cart be fore the horse and destroy the Customs Revenue by prohibitive duties instead of by remission. Such a policy must assuredly tend to impoverish, tho people, exactly when requirements will have to be made for direct contributions in some form or forms to the services of the State,"

Mr Ballance, who leaves Wellington for the North to-day, intends, we learn, to visit Rotorua and Hokianga among other places. Since the eruption, native matters in the Rotorua district have become very much disorganised. The Tahourangi tiibe have had many of their habitations destroyed, and a large portion of their country rendered uninhabitable,. and at the present time they a.c said to be half-starving. Mr Ballance baa endeavoured to settle matters by, means of correspondence, but now finds it absolutely necessary to visit the locality to put things in order. Since the eruption there has been a seriouß falling-off in the number of tourists to the Lakes District, and the natives and settlers alike are crying out for something to be done to pre vent ruin from coming upon them. The Minister for Public Works'has, on .Mr Ballancels recommendation, agreed to let a contract for a short eectibn of the Rotorua railway, to be commenced at the Rotorua end, in order to afford some employment to the natives and Europeans. Fifty families will be sent from Auckland to go upon the work,- and ib is hoped by judicious management to place Rotorua on its feet again. The Hon. Mr Ballance'e visit to j Hokianga has for ite Object the inspection ! of the village settlements established there.
