A special Act of Parliament may bo re quired to deal with the absence of the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. Gratitude, a delicate plant sown by kind ness, does not flourish in cold hearte. Napier Charitable Aid Board estimate their expenditure for next year at £3,645. Many inquiries are being made in London wi'h reference to the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition. A supplementary *' Gazette," issued yes terday, contains the new list of Justices of the Peace. All the newly elected Chairman of Licen sing Committees in the Thames district are teetotallers. A carter named O'Meaghor was injured about the face in Grey -st eeb yesterday by his horse running off and throwing him down. The man Sandilands, who was one of the sufferers from the accident in the sewer at Christ church on Thursday evening last, i 8 very seriously ill, erysipelas having set in. Over S 000 acres of agricultural landill Wellington district wore sold by auction yesterday, and brought about £2 per aero. Wellington City Engineer says that tho water must be shut off for a fortnight to make necessary repairs and alterations on, the waterworks, which will cost £7,000. Finanei',l reasons prevented the Now 7mi .1 taicels Post being established n-.i..g ihe current financial year, bub arrangements are now forward for bringing it into operation. Mr Jas.

Anderson, of Christ church, and all manufactured in the colony. A Wellington telegram states that there were only five coinpetieors for the Bowen prize essay this year. Hannah Michael Blake Marshall, of Nelson College, is the winner.

The Rev. Mr Fitchett, of Dunedin, iv a recent sermon, severely assailed the incon sistency of the Legislature in legalising the totalisator while t-upprcssing other forms of gambling. Preaching upon turf morality,, ho said that at the la-t I'nnedin Cup mee'iog over £29,000 paesod through the legalised gambling machine. No doubt this amount included sums staked many times over, but if they took account of betting in other form's, the total would probably run up to scores of thousands of pounds. Add together the money gambled on all the race courses of tho colony, and we get a result truly appalling, probably not far short of a mill:, exchanged in betting transactions on New Zealand races in a single year. Surely this is a fact which challenges everyone concerned for the thrift, pros perity, aud moral health of tbo people. '■ How," he asked, "had,this pascion for, gambling been viewed by the law !' The mat ter has invariably b.-en regarded as a public evil which, though from the nature ot the. caso it could not bo eradicated by legisla tion, ought to be severely repressed. Yefc our own Legislature, whilstenuoting statutes for the suppression of tho evil, and prose cuting even the Heathensdomiciied among* t us ior gaming in their dwellings, has sanc tioned with weak and, ouemay venture to Say, wicked inconsistency, the use of a machine for unl'mlted publio ganfbling. Look at the picture of the excited crowd that gathers TOund the totalisator—pushing struggling, shouting, and screaming, each man fighting his way to the' front, and ho,ding out at arm's length hia pound to the keeper of tbs gambling-machine. What is the impulse common to the whole of the frantic multitude ; what the past-ion in the breast of each ? : Simply a desire for other people's money. Each man riekß his own pound, but he risks it in a desire and hope that he will get it uackagain with many other pounds out of the pockets ot his neigh bours. Some who indulge io it are doubtless of highprincipleand probablity of character. They gamblera little for tho pleasure of! t,ho excitement, and think .no evil. Let fuch men consider what gambling in its essential nature is, and it can hardly be that conscience and honour will not constrain him to shun it as an unholy thing Respecting race course, gambling there can be no doubt at nil, and every man with a regam for elementary morality and the well-being of society, is bound to discourage" it. The rev. gentle-, man defended raffling at church bazaaro because the persons got an equivalent.' He concluded with an earnest appeal for .the formation of a coeiety to aid in the sup] preseiori of gambling. • ; .','%;."?

Upon the change made in the Civil Ser vice examinations, which was alluded to in these columns the other day,'theJHend master of the Auckland. College and Grammar School writes:— ". In''-your !'' issue of this evening, you remark upon the hardship whic. will bt> inflicted by the suspension during this year of the Junior Civil Servico examination. Allow mo tn point out that the case as regards the Senior examina tion is even harder, because the preparation for this is more arduous, and has tube com menced earlier, and also because, if report speaks truly, tho Senior examinotion.when resumed, will be held under altered re gulations, which will cither : directly or indirectly exclude boys still at ssbpol. Not on!y wa« it notified in the New Zealand "Gazette" early in las* year that certain books bail bten pre scribed "for the Ap:i ~md October ex aminatons, 1857," but printed slips con taining the same information, and, no doubt, intended for distribution, were sent to me, and, 1 suppose, to . other Head masters From that time to this no official notification of a change has reached nae. 1' did, indeed, hear uncfficially that changes were in contemplation and likely to be soon oarried out, but the infor? • mation waß far from definite. I wrote fo the proper quarter asking for early notice; of any change, but none has been vouchsafed. The successes of'our candidates in recent years have attracted tho attention of the ■ boys -of this school to the examina- and when several expressed a wish for preparation, I did not feel justified in refusing them on tho'drbuniJ that the examination miglit possibly ha. made unavailable (Ihat it would be nlto- • gethar suspended I did not for, ai.-Kinftife suppose), and bo risking a diaappoicun<rnb J to them should it be diaeoven?d t'ooS late that they might have- rx-ni}.-.-■ i<\', Thus eevorol boys intending 'o'o"• inprte' next October have sinco last Sop'prober been devoting a portion of their tune' to preparation, and are now about half.way through it. Some of these hold scholar ships which wilLexpire in Deeember/othere " intend to leave at.the same tithe or sooner. . It seems (o mo that-these boys have been, very hardly used. — I-am, tea., C.
