Moro cases of typhoid fever in Auckland. Newmarket water supply is now laid on Ponsonby Catholic Church will bo opened next Sunday. Mr Lightfoot, City Surveyor at Nelson, has resigned.

The Auckland mails; dated 6th Decem ber, were delivered in London on Tuesday last. - . ' „,, . .'-.■;...

Outlook more warlike, : English consols have fallen one-fourth, and are now 100§. Hutcbine, the English podestrian, ■•has beaten the best Australian record for 50yds. In December last, Ohristchurch Charit able Aid Board relieved 190 oases, being 30 over the average. It has been resolved to increase the capital of Wellington Gas Company to £100,000, by the issue of new shares. More civilisation. A Chinaman residing in East Brunswick, Victoria, has gone in solvent. He'll go in for Parliament next. Although mining investment is dnil in London, it is expected that a number of new companies will be announced in about a week. Hard lines for "first-footers."—it Dune din a young man has just been fined 5s for disturbing a person 'on New Year's Day by kicking at his door for a lark. Rev. Father Riordan, who lately arrived in Victoria fiom New Zealand, is supposed to be insane, and has been arrested by the police. The Hon. G. R.

John Dunlop, M.A., of Dundee, Scotland, has been appointed Professor of Theology in Otago, Oscar Wilde says he can't eat anything when he is going to write poetry. His friends ought to keep him eating. The Presbytoiian Synod of Otago has resolved that a loyal address be presented to the Queen on the occasion of her jubilee, and to the Governor on his present visit to Dunedin, Rev, Mr Dowie last night closed his "faith-healing" mission at Invercargill. He apologised to a gentleman whom ho had at the meeting on Monday night accused of taking too much whisky, and also to a young man whom he had called a " lying scoun drel" on the same occasion. By the s.s. Ruapehu, which left England for Otago on 18th December last,the follow ing nominated emigrants are passengers :— For Auckland, 45; Hawke's Bay, 40; Taranaki, 8; Wellington, 62; Nelson, 8 ; Marlborough, 9; Westland, 1; Canter bury, -21; Otago, 59; Invercargill, 7. Total, 260. At the meeting of Otago Presbyterian Synod yesterday, the report on the state of religion stated tbat while the number of communicants on tbe roll showed an in crease cf 600, there was really a decrease of about 600. It stated that either the rolls were badly kept or there was an alarming

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Some people seem to take a delight in cir culating canards imputing all sorts of absurd motives for actions which, to most minds, appear transparently innocent, Thus, the resolution of the Defonco Department to import a number of Snider rifles gave rise to a report that this was done simply in order to allow of the Auckland-made cartridges being used. The Hon. Mr Ballance has been interviewed

on the matter at Wanganui, and, as was to be expected, holds up the idea to merited ridicule. He ac knowledges that Snider rifles are being imported, but says the question at present is purely a financial one. Sniders can be had for 12s 6d as against £3 17s 6d asked for the Enfield- Martini rifle. Tbe arms t-re necessary for the increased numbers of volunteers, and Mr Ballance prefers having Sniders till the result of the English Commission on .the new arms is known. When it is seen which arms England adopts, the Colonial Volun teers will by degrees be similarly armed.

J.rom recent Sydney papers it appears that the extensive outbreak of smallpox, which has already resulted in a number of deaths, at Sydney, Adelaide, and Mel bourne, was due to the want of prompt action and the absence of the ne cessary federal machinery for coping with an outbreak. The steamer. Preus sen arrived at Albany on December 15th, about ten days after the first case had be curred. On learning of the outbreak, the President of the Sydney Board of Health appealed to the Health Officer at Albany to have the patient removed and the vessel fumigated. To this the authorities Vat Albany replied that they approved of tbe Ruggestion ; but as no provision bad been made for federal quarantine they were not prepared for such an emergency. The efforts of the Sydney board weie rendwed when the vessel was at Adelaide, but with-' out success, though the agents for the Preussen agreed to submit to the necessary detention, and to the fumigation of the ves sel. Dr, Maclaurih judges that in none of the casea of small-pox occurring at Adelaide or Sydney had tbe disease been contracted when the vessel arrived at Albany. He de clares that in all probability if the authori ties al Albany, immediately on the ship's arrival, had removed the patient to the shore and disinfected the ship, tbe suffering which has taken place since might have been avoided; and he argueß that, apart from any consideration of the advisability of adopting the principles of federal quarantine as laid down by tho Inter-colonial Sanitary Conference of 1884, common humanity demands that when a ship with infectious disease on board touches at any port " the authorities of such port should afford her the very necessary assistance of removing, if possible, the source of infection from her midst." It is sickening to think of tho sacrifice of human life and the widespread physical suffering and pecuniary loss tbat have been evoked because "some ono had blundered," or 1 clause tho different colonies are too stupid to . sco that federal quarantine legulations are to their mutual advantage. The lessons of this present visitation of smallpox ought not to bo lost upon tho colonies.

Tha Wellington "Post" thinks it is greettly.rogret-ed that circumstances render it impossiblo for any member of tho Ministry to attend the Colonial Conference in Lon don. "It is not (it says) that we think the Conference necessary or believe that any particular good is likely to result from its deliberations that we regret the non-representation of New Zealand, The- probability is that there will be a lot of useless talk without any practical result being arrived at; but still, if there is a gathering of colonial statesmen in tho capital of the empire, it would be well that thia colony should bo fully represented at it." A more nonsensical plea for an utterly meaningless proposal was nevor advanced than the above. If the forthcoming Con ference in London is to be merely a gather ing for " useless talk," it is a poor compli ment to Ministers to..Say that they ought to be present. But .even supposing the Conference (as we hope it may) should prove to be of exeat utility in advancing the interest ot the colonies in general, Burely Sir E. Dillon Bell has sufficient wis dom, patriotism, and ability to represent New Zealand at its deliberations. We commend the decision of the Ministry as a very judicious piece of economy. At tbe same time, it speaks Volumes for their self denial that they baye ugie'ed to forego the I delights of a trip to London in the rOlo of "distinguished colonists."
