The receipt of late telegraphic matter compels us to hold over till next issue the publication of the prospectus of thu Lone SUt Company, as also the conclusion of on the West Coast for the New Zeala»4 Accident Insurance Company, is mow in Reefton, and will be glad to meet the miners at Dawton's Hotel to morrow evening, for the purpose of explaining the principles of the association. The subject is one which should receive tho earnest consideration of the mining class.

A Church Parade of the Itiangahua Rifles and Ca lets will be held on Sunday next, at 10.15 a.m., at which hour the companies are required to assemle at the drill-room.

It is stated that the removal of Mr Wardell, R.M., to Wairarapa is at his own request for reasons of personal and domestic convenience. We entirely agree with the suggestion that Mr Wardell's salary ought not to be reduced, as he has been receiving very inadequate pay for his arduous duties in Wellington, and has served long aud efficiently as a public servant. It would be a great hardship if his pension were to be lessened owing to this transfer. We hope the Government will see Iheir way to make a satisfactory arrangement. Among the various names mentioned as Mr Wardell's possible successor in Wellington are those of exJudge Weston, ex Judge Harvey, and Mr Lowther Broad, R.M.. of Uelson. We

should be pleased to hear that the choice of the Government had fallen upon Mr Weston, who proved himself a very able and efficient District Judge for the West Coast £oldtields, and who was non* too well treated by the Hall Government. Mr Weston would be an admirable man to exercise the enlarged judicial functions which it is proposed to vest in Resident Magistrates, and we hope to hear that his appointment is decided upon. -N.Z.

A letter has been received by a gentleman in Dunedin from a Be t t ' elt i%*f, Taradale, about eight miles from Napier, in which (siys the Otuao "DaVy Time») he states that a well of wfl|er was us«d for domestic purposes, and which prior to> the eruption at Tarawera was beautifully cold and clear, has since then become, quite' hot, an,d now emits steam.

The •' capping" ceremony at the Lyceum Hall yesterday evening (says the Otago Daily Times) did not pass off with all the smoothness that conld have been desired. The students in the body of the hall were boisterous as usual, and Sir Robert Stout, the chairman, addressed a sharp remonstrance to them at the very outset of the proceedings, threatening to have the disturbers ejected by the police if the interruptions continued. These remarks were not received in very good part, and in the middle of his speMkSir Robert Stout broke off and aitfcWling the students, said :— " I niay say thjk I see one person at the back of the halfjjno is. making a noise. I know hi»*4pne, aod if I am interrupted again I *Hdl See that a summons is issued againßt hitnAnmorrow.—(liiterrupti«n.)

The etreeta of London are, thanks to Lord Shrewsbury and other capitalists who follow his example (says a Hom£ paper) now filled with luxurious hansom cabs. In this respect the town has/under gone a very firat change. At tirnj, when the premier earl put out his smart banloins the trade objected. I^e managed, however, to h',»J<l his o.wn. A few weeks later he. put new hitnsorus on to the ranks. Th«"e have still further improveyiei^ft.

We d eply regret that through a mistake on iur part a local was published in our is.'Utf of tha 30th July last wherein it was stated that the late Mr John Hyde Harris died in Dunedin gaol. This we now acknowledge is utterly false, the deceased gentleman having died at the City Hotel, Dunedin, where he had been residing for some months past. We therefore beg to tender our sincerest apologies to the relatives anil many friends of the deceased gentleman, and shall feel obliged if those of our contemporaries who hay« published the local referred to will also publish our apology.
