[PHB PEEBS ASSOCIATION.] AUCKLAND, November 7. Burglars at WorkTwo more burglaries have been committed. One was at Miss Haines’, tobacconist, who had £l6 taken, and the other at Mr Barnes’, Newton. A man named William Turner was arrested under peculiar circumstances early this morning, with bis shoes off and an axe in his hand, which is believed to be a clue. He was remanded. A County Council Sued. An inspector named Brewer sued the chairman of the Eussell County for £lO, being his rate inspector’s fees, the Council having refused to pay the same on the ground that he had certified to the work though it was not done according to plan and specifications. A nonsuit was recorded, each to pay his own costs.

The DissolutionThe proclamation dissolving Parliament was drawn up to-day, and it was expected that it would aleo be issued to-day, but for some unexplained reason it was not. EEEFTON, November 7. Mining SuccessThe remarkable find in the Golden Point mine on Thursday is now believed to be of a permanent character. Shares have advanced from 12s to 20s. The stone, it is said, will be equal in richness to the Welcome claim, now being obtained from both winz and the intermediate lead. LYELL, November 7.

I understand that it is not intended to make any new appointments in filling np the vacancies created by the retirement of Mr Simpson (Dunedin) and Mr Shaw (Wellington), but both will be managed by a series of transfers and a re-arrangement of districts among the existing magistrates. This, of course, is with a view to retrenchment in expense. It is currently reported here in medical circles that the appointment of the Inspector of Lunatio Asylums, vacated by the death of Dr. Skae, was offered to Dr. King, the newlyappointed superintendent of the Wellington Asylum (who arrived here yesterday), but that it was declined by Dr. King, who is reputed to bring the highest credentials of efficiency. I hear that extensive changes are to be made among the Begistrars of Deeds consequent on certain retirements. The changes will all be in the direction of economy and the amalgamation of offices.
