In referring to the rejection of the Gold Duties Bill by the Legislative Council, the Guardian says: “ This was one of Mr Fyke’s pigs.” We have to acknowledge, from the Provincial Government, receipt of bound volume of departmental reports of the Province for the year ending March 31, 187 C. A gentleman informs us that as coming down Chatto Creek ou Sunday last he started a cock pheasant from the thick acaub that abounds there, and says he thinks, from the great noise the bird made, that its mate was in the neighborhood. Several times a stray pheasant has been seen in this neighborhood, the assumption, therefore, that there is more than one maybe eorrent. A disputed wagesj’account,'between a ploughman and’a farmer, was hoard in the Resilient Magistrate’s Court, Clyde, on the 12th instant., the case being a ploughman claiming' thirty shillings per week. The farmer offered 25s per week, and produced evidence in proof that sum being in full, or, if anything in advance of the current rate. The decision of the bench was that 25s was the current rate, and gave judgment accordingly. We have to acknowledge the receipt of map shewing the boundaries of the new counties as agreed to by the House of Representatives. As this measure may yet share the fate of the Gold Duty Bill by being cast out by the Legislative Council, or bo pronounced ultra vires, together with the whole question of Abolition, we will refrain from commenting on it or dealing with the question of ridings till we are satisfied it is an established law.

Daring the past few days we have again had the pleasure of Mr Bakers—Government Life Insurance Agent—company in Clyde. Since he was last with us Mr Baker informs us that he has been visiting Roxburgh and that locality, where he has met with most marked success, the number of risks he having secured being far in excess of his expectations. Mr Baker speaks of the Teviot district as being in a highly prosperous state, and the inhabitants a degree above the ordinary run to ho met with as a mixed population. Among such a people we would imagine Mr Baker would have been successful, he being in every sense a cosmopolitan, and possesses the happy knack of making himself and his duty in hand acceptable to all alike. Mr Baker leaves here by this morning’s coach for Naseby, where, we understand, ho purposes staying for a week or ten days. Wc have much pleasure in intimating to our Mount Ida friends the arrival of Mr Baker, and’ hope he will meet with equal success with them as he has in this and other districts.

The Daily Times of the 7th inst. says the Provincial Executive met yesterday, but we believe that the question of acting upon the resolutions asking that the Provincial Council should be convened, was not discussed, as legal opinions are being obtained on the matter in the meantime.

There is a quarrel between Moody and Sankcy. Moody appropriated over 6000 dols., thank-offerings from converted sinners, and gave Sankey 1000 dols. The latter threatens law proceedings. The Chicago Committee are endeavoring to hush up matters.
