The Hon. the Minister of Public Works yesterday inspected the State School and expressed himself highly pleased with the order and cleanliness of the children, although at the same time he pointed out the want of ventilation in the infant room and the steps that should be taken to remedy this defect, which with the large attendance present was very injurious to the health of the children generally.
A special meeting of the Board of Health was held last evening at the instigation of his Worship the Maydr; Dr Acheson had reported that a Chinaman on the opposite side of the river was suffering from that most loathsome disease leprosy, and that the man had crossed the river into this county.
