The disagreement between the trustees of the Grammar School and Improvement Commissioners has reached a climax. The Grammar School had been temporarily allowed the occupation of a building in Albert Barracks Park, which by arrangement with the Government had been sold as police barracks. The Grammar School received notice to quit, but refuse. The Improvement Commissioners to-day passed a resolution empowering the secretary to take possession on Monday.

The insurance on the buildings and machinery was £4OO in the New Zealand office. Dunedin, June 8. Mr Macandrew's resignation as a member of the Otago University Council was read today. He expressed regret that the Otago University ever consented to waive its claim to a Royal Charter, for had it not done so there could be no doubt but such charter would have been granted ere now, and tho University would have been saved from the imputation of having sold its birthright for a mess of pottage. This was a great blunder, and no time should be lost in retracting it. He thought there would be no difficulty in the way of the Otago University obtaining a charter of its own. The Council decided to invite applications for a lecturer on surgery at a salary of £2OO a year, in connection with the Medical School. Lawrence, June 8. A great deal more damage was done by the rain than was at first imagined. Considerable losses occurred at Weatherstone's, Gabriel's, and Waitahuna. Several claims suffered greatly from heavy slips, and the tunnel at Round Hill, roads, and railway, are all more or less seriously injured. The flood was the heaviest remembered here for the past eleven years. [from the cobeespondent of the pbess.] Timaru, June 9.
