Turks from Batoum are operating on the Circassian province. The Marquis of Salisbury, at the Merchant Taylors' banquet, insisted on the necessity of maintaining the peace of Europe. The Government were ready to defend England's interests if an attempt was made to interfere with them. Lord Derby concurred with what had been said, adding that the maintenance of peace was of the greatest importance to British interests. Official despatches state that the attempted passage of the Danube at NicopoK has been repulsed.

The debate on the dock question has now assumed the phase of whether or not the docks will be so placed as to give value to Mr Proudfoot's speculation in purchasing a large block of unreclaimed land from the late Provincial Government. Mr Proudfoot, as contractor for the dredging and rock walling, required Is per cubic yard extra to move the docks according to the former plan of Walters, on the ground of the proposal involving a farther haulage than contemplated by the original plan, but now he agrees for a much farther haulage, and also consents to lift the rocky walling already laid down if required. By this latter plan the Board will be deprived of the most valuable portion of its endowments, and it will immensely enhance the value of Mr Proudfoot's previous speculation. There are now in the Dunedin Lunatic Asylum no less than 335 patients, of whom 72 are females.
