Mr Fyke's intended lectures on “ Special Settlement Associations,” which was to have been delitered at Cromwell last night bad to be-postponed owing to that gentle* man’s illness. Fur tbe same reason It has been considered advisable not ito convene meetings at Clyde or Alexandra for the present.

We have received fjom Messrs William--Bna..*nd Co., sharebrokers, of Wellington, their “ Share List an I Investors Guide” for January and February of tbe current year, which we look upon as remarkably bandy to speculators and holders of shares in publ c companies. The lists embody all particulars of current values of scrip, amount paid np per share, indeed, everything connected with the stock of-com-panies doing business in New Zealand. We purpose keeping a file of the lists for future reference.

Roy Roy, of Lawrence, is another aspirant for the public confidence in the way of consultations, his programme is sufficiently attractive, and from the fact of Rob Roy being a resident of the goldfields he should be well supported.

Bv advertisement in another column it will he seen that the renowned Faust Family and Mias Heath (the Australian Contralto) pay Alexandra a visit to-morrow evening, and judging by the favourable notices that the Family have received both in connection with Chariot's circus and as a private troupe, they should be welcomed by a large audience on their appearance amongst us.

o’Donovan Ros»a was shot by a woman in Chambers street, near Broadway, on the afternoon when the street was full of people. The first shot lodged in Rossa’s body, and he fell to the sidewalk. The woman continued shooting till she emptied live chambers of the revolver. She is an Englishwoman named Dudley, aged 25, a nurse and unmarried. Inquiry showed that she h.ia been almost crazed with excitement since the explosions at Parliament Houses and the Tower. On examination of Rossa’s wound at the Hospital it was found that the ball bad penetrated the back, but the wound was not dangerous. Intelligence of the shooting was received in London amidst jubilation. Thousands of toasts were drunk to the health and happiness of Miss Dudley. In Canada there was great excitement,nd intense disappointment that the wound was nut dangerous. In an interview M as Dudley says she saw Rossa. and off -re 1 him money in order to draw him out. --He told her than the next buildings to be blown up were Sandhurst College, the Carlton Club, Woolwich Arsenal, and the B-.nk of England. This showed her that she was doing right, because it would not have been fair to condemn the man on what she had read in his paper. Rossa has re ceived hundreds of threats that he will yet be killed, His paper is much modified in mne. Visitors crowd to see Miss Dudley. A rema' kahle case of eccentricity in will maltirs has just been reported from Bradford, and rivals in real life Eugene Sue's dramatic story of “ The Wandering Jew.’i John Taylor died at Bradford in 1860, leav. ing consi !erable wealth and a will directing his property tube administered as to accumulate for twenty five years. The only ch irges which weie to be paid were the cost of maintaining and investing the property and of di charging certain mortgage bonis as they became due. At the end of twenty live years the property was to be divided among certain heirs named in the will, or among such of them as should then he liv. ing. In case none of the heirs should then be living the share of each one, as apportioned in the will, was to be paid to his or her natural heirs. The beneficiaries named in the will were all relatives of Taylor and all poor. They vainly sought to set aside the will, and vainly appealed time and again to'he executors for some relief out of the shares which were eventually to come to them. The executors rigidly adhered to the lerms of the will, and some of the heirs, a’thongh prospective millionaires, became reduced to great poverty and want. Sevaral of them died in poorhouses. Only eight now survive to share the property, which will be d stribute-l among them eirly in the Spring, . The, fortune amounts to no less thaii L4,OIX) J COO sterling
