The effect of the abolition of the duty on timber imported into New Zealand is jußt now beginning to be felt by the local saw millers.

Fily persons have joined the new Cavalry Corps. Major Murray telegraphed to the Government, asking whether their services would be accepted. AUCKLAND, May 6. T. P. Gardiner, who has just built a new restaurant on the reclaimed land, fell dead yesterday. He has been ailing for some time past. A Samoan correspondent writes :—" Business is excessively dull. Many storkeepers don't take a dollar a day and publicans are uo better off. The Natives are talking of fighting again, and, with a prospect of an early outbreak of civil war, they will neither work to earn money by copra making, &c, nor spend any they have except for firearms and ammunition."
