Tolmie is rather frank in his address*- He is a squatter, and is proud of it. Holdfs rather liberal, opinions on m«st things and throws himself on the electors, trusting to their, of him, and his knowledge ><^f them and v^ieir wants, and le^Js quite corifideiit of "being returned. In one matter both candidates are agreed, and that is the complete separation of the two Islands, so that eaoh- may work oitf its own destiny untramelled by the weight of the other. / Among the items of ezport hy the Harriet Armitage for Sydney, 1 observe a number of packages of furniture, Rev. G. Sutherland. From this it would appear as if the rev. gentleman's exodus were Ho be immediately. The ship Okago goes over there next week, so it is prbnable he and his family will be' tiassengerß. i meeting of the First Church congregation is to le held on Tuesday evening, when the matter is to bo considered, and the Presbytery is to meet the following day, when, if no reasons' are lodged, Mr Sutherland will be loosed from his charge, and the church declared vacant. JjKQUqer whon the congregation; aro likely to get a successor, and how long they will be with- * out a minister. • . At a special meeting of the City Council held on Tuesday, there was a queer squabble about some teleorams which bad been sent to some of the Northern Mayors regarding their salaries, daring the late Mayoral election in our own town. There had boon some mistake in their addresses, and the Major, at the late dinner given him by his friends, said that an unwarrantable use of the Town Clerk's name had been made by somebody, and intimated as much as that he^ would soon make some seats in the Council rather •warm for the present "occupiers. This threat bronght on the special meeting, at •which the telegram question was fullj discussed, the principal speaker being Mr Keith Ramsay, . wjlt'o .seems, to have been the V somebody" spoken ot at the dinner, j The Mayor entered, into, long explanations with his usual volubility, and there were a few, passages at arms, or rather tongues,' between some of -the members, and threatened calls to order; and fines of L 5. But the whole thing" 'ended in smoke, and all that may 1 be- gathered as . the- result of the meeting is the fact that a pretty powerful opposition ■ now exists in the City Council, which iti' any matter of a personal or merely opinionative nature 1 will be sure to leave the Mayor in a minority; and this will'terid,' in great measure, to keep the Council to their work, instead of mooning away after great questions; for which' the community *ill not he ripe for twenty 5 ye'rtrs to cotrtd. Mr John Barnes, the " active and'enerpetic member" for Leith Ward in the City Council, was presented with a gold watch and chain on'! Thursday evening by a few of his frionds and admirers, in re- ; cognition, «&c., &c., &a The Mayor presided, and there was the usual amount of adulation, &c. This week has been signalised by fine mild open weather, quite a contrast to the previous week. A great many p eople have been more or less in a sickly way of late, the result of the severe weather. This has been particularly the case with chirrirnn, »n whom, the, cold^.weiweather has had a;yery. prejudi<ral effect. One of our leading chemists "twrf me tho other .day ,U^t «ad» an-! .srl : l io bvc^ » qtuntities, wi jiiv afoiinight. no -.ess t" Ju'.wp gallons of ;syrup of squills, all of which, he thought, would be administered to children and young persona for, coughs ani colds. If that was the quantity disposed of, by one, chemist, what would be the' aggregale'ahT/ouHt sold'\>^ Wll thl dhemists in town ? This morning the* weather is dull, .and there has been a little rain, tbrou^j|ih,e ( night. All , the snow has dißappearea r froni the lowlands, but the higher hills are still coated thickly. .
