A letter signed " Market-day" arrirod too late for to-day's.issue. It will appear to-mor-row. ' '-! '- -• - - - -'- •*- •• ■ The ship Chile moved from her anchorage at the powder ground this morning, and took up a position abreast of the, wharf. The smoke from some extensive bush fires has been visible all the morning, in the direction of the Kaipara district, and at the North Shore. ~, _ , From an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that Edward O'Hare has challenged J. Regan to run him any distance between 150 yards and a quarter of a mile, for £5. A match is being fired this afternoon at the new rifle butts, between 10 men of the Prince Alfred Corps of Light Horse, and ten of the Volunteer Artillery. We regret to find that although there is a rule against smoking inside tho Theatre Royal, it is not attended to as it should be During the last few evenings dense volumes . have at intervals ascended to the region ol 'he boxes, much to the annoyance of the ladies present. ' Our citizens have now an excellent opportunity of running their working horses in the Domain on Buudays, instead of keeping them ! pent up in'stables, irritated by flies. 'Tlie Domain appears to be Well'grassied this spring, the result of manuring, rolling, &c, during the winter; and there is abundance of thoa.herbs in the pas' u're,' so "much relished by stock, and so beneficial at this time of tinyear. A lively scene occurred yesterday at Parnell, ;„ -.Men two persons una,-, llred to enforce their arguments by physical force ..... manifest injury of their personal .appearauce. It appears that the one told the other to do 1 something neither becoming to perform nor exactly suitable for. publication, when No. 2 expressed the'intention of replying through rhe agency of a horsewhip. Following up his intention and his retiring opponent, he gave indications that now was the >'ay and now the hour for the performance of the intended operation. A casual spec-tator-(a member, by the way, of the City Council) invited by the one to remain and see the work, and by.the other to.more on, and not be witness to what did not concern him, proceeded on his way; but, curiosity overcoming him, on looking back he saw blood spurting from- the face of the assailant—the assailed also exhibiting similar cvi lence of the fury of the fray. The combatants being similar in size and apparent capabilities—both, being heavy weights -and seeming to enjoy the fun, were left to carry on operations to their satisfaction, and when they had got tired, lelt off. We have no d°ubtthe operation relieved their overburthened feelings, ami, as .nobody else was injured,' we think nobody else ha-* any' business to feel distressed. We understand that is hot the mention of either party to take the matter before the Courts, in which" we think they both show very great sense." The high reputation Olson's tomato sauce as obtained as a household condiment, has broughtrnany inferior articles into the market The'public are therefore warned not Wlie imposed upon with rubbish, tut ask for Olson's genuine*tomato sauce, and see that his' patfte is on tlie bottle. ' "To Mr. Hans* o.sbn.<r^ •Dear Sir.-^By some mistake a bottle of your ; tomato sauce was put away in my house, and remained uncorked for upwards of twelve, months; ' The same bottle of sauce was after- ; wards'lised-tttmyJ Own table, and I found ltf was equally as good as when first made.—T..
