The steamer Phoebe is to leave Nelson, for Fiction arid Wellington!, on Tuesday next, s Prince Alfred left Melbourne for Sydney, amidst a grand ovation, on the 4th January. Ida. ObwawL of Nelson* has .presented a site for another church in that city.

/Mr. Dodson will sell the valuable section of land, opposite Mr. Ewart’s new hotel, this day at two p.m. Mr. A. S. Atkinson, the member for Omata, Taranaki, has resigned his seat in the General Assembly.

A Cricket .Match between eleven Volunteers and an eleven from H.M.S.S. Falcon, was to be played at Wellington on Saturday last.

The Board of Works should have met on Thursday evening last, but as there was not a quorum present no business was done. _

The Telegraph wires are fast approaching Napier. Tenders are being called for the erection of a station at Greytown, the wires having already been carried far north of that place. The Central Pacific Railroad Company have roofed ten miles of their road passing through the snow region, and intend to cover all the worst exposures for winter travel.

Bread is advertised at lOd. the 41b. loaf in Picton, while here it is Is. Oddly enough, when it was lOd. here it was Is. there, and now that bread and breadstuff's are rising everywhere, the Picton bakers effect a reduction.

It is said in a Melbourne newspaper, that as the result of a too liberal display of loyalty, one money-lender in Melbourne has no fewer than sixty pianofortes under his care pending the discharge of certain liabilities incurred in honor of the Prince’s visit.

A meeting of members of the Blenheim Subdivision of Marlborough Volunteers is called for Tuesday evening next, when some unusually important matters are, we understand, to be brought forward, including the balance sheet, and auditors are to be appointed. The Anniversary Sermons in connection the Wesleyan Chapel will be preached to-morrow; : in the morning by the Rev. W. Lee, and in the | evening by the Rev. A. Russell. An address to| the children will be given by Mr. Lee in the' afternoon, when pieces are to be recited. On Thursday, December 31st, upwards'~of '8,660 acres of land in Southland were purchased by Mr. Matthew Holmes. The Southland Times says, “ this will bring the land sold during the past few weeks up to the very large total of 14,000 acres.”

. ' Messrs. Edwards tnd Co. announce their intention of dispatching the p.s. Lyttelton to the Kaikouraa at an early date, which will afford Sarties in the Southern part of the province a esirable opportunity of communicating with Blenheim.

~- 'The friends of Mr. Sklaark, whose premises were recently consumed byfire, will be glad to hear that the agents of both the New Zealand and the Victoria Assurance Companies are so far satisfied as to the justness of his claims, that they have resolved to recommend their payment in full. Thunder Storm. Previous to the storm which took place in Blenheim a short time ago one of greater violence took place at Kekeraugu and the vicinity. The lightning struck the woolshed, breaking one of the windows and causing the shearers there occupied to drop their shears and fly.— lndejwndent. Reprisal.—lt appears that Mr. Jeremiah Creed, of Charleston, has been fined £lO for giving an unstamped receipt, on the information of a certain Mr. Alexander M‘Carthy, who, a few days before, had been sentenced to pay a fine of £5 for assaulting Creed, and bound over to keep the peace for three months.— Mail. An American paper says ;—“There is a man up the country who always pays for his paper in advance. He has never had a sick day in his life, never had any corns or footache, his potatoes never rot, the weevil never eats his wheat, the frost never kills his corn or beans, his babes never cry in the night, and his wife never scolds.”

It is estimated that the sum already paid this year for foreign wheat imported into Great Britain has been at least between seven and eight millions sterling in excess of the total paid up to the corresponding date of last year. Russia has been the principal gainer by the movement, and next to her Prussia, the United States, and Turkey. Cricket. —The Blenheim Club held a meeting /on Monday last, when it was resolved to send a challenge to the Picton Club to play a match on Monday, the 10th of February, at Picton. While approving of this intention, we may express an opinion that the Blenheim Club will be nowhere, unless they attend practice more frequent and regularly than they have done of late. A scratch match will be played on the Blenjxeim ground this afternoon at 4 o’clock. ✓"'A recent Gazette notifies that Mr. G. L. Hellish, Mr. S. L. Muller, and the Inspector of Schools shall form a board of examiners at Blenheim under the Civil Service Act. Mr. Lewis Keel Horne, M.D., is appointed medical assessor for the province of Marlborough under the provisions of the Medical Practitioners Act, 1867. Mr. John Barleyman, of Blenheim, and Mr. Duncan ..Guy, of Picton and Havelock, are reappointed clerks to the Bench at those places under the Resident Magistrates Act, 1867. Canterbury Races. —By Electric Telegraph. Tuesday, January 14.

The Dona Anita is fast getting on with her loading, and will get away next month, while the remainder of the Marlborough clipi shipped at Port Underwood, will be taken by the C®sarea, the latter vessel having engaged to proceed to Fort Underwood on her return from Newcastle. The total shipment of wool by these three vessels will be about 5,000 bales; the remainder of the Marlborough clip—probably about 1,500 bales—being shipped through Weltuigton. —Examiner.

We understand that a well-known Havelock storekeeper intends to contest the Pelorus with a certain gallant captain. The **lndefatigable” arrived at 6 p.m. yes-N; terday, bringing’an'overland mail from Nelson,.' which town he left the preceding day at noon.i A file of the Examiner, which he favoured us with, contains a variety of news, including a \ very favourable notice of Lewis’s first trip. The 5 advantages of the route will be apparent from the cinyimstance that he left here on Sunday last with the mails for Havelock and Nelson, j On Tuesday he started his man with the regular ■contract mail to Blenheim : on Thursday, noon, i he left Nelson himself, arriving, as we haVe said,: last evening, and this day, at two p.m., the re- i gular mail will be due. Qur space will not allow ; us to enlarge on the subject this week. It may not. be generally known there is a Marlborough Punch -, at least, the News converts one of its columns into a “ Picton Charivari.’ The jokes, however, are very harmless, .as will be seen from the following clipping : —“‘Why ought the Superintendent to be wide awake ?” “ Because he is all Eyes.’’— Evening Post. [Our Wellington contemporary appears to have missed the point of the paragraph alluded to, which had reference to a recent event which took place in Blenheim. The joke was as follows j—“ Who did it Brown ?”—“ Sutherland.” As the gentleman last named has gone to the Empire City on a visit, it is possible he may call and make this correction himself.] Marlborough Almanac. —Messrs. CaTd and Grey deserve considerable credit for the very useful Almanac they have issued for 1868. The contents comprise the usual calendar with notes general and astronomical, with high water tables for Picton and Wairau river mouth, a blank page for notes, &c, gardeners’ calendar, the customs tariff, stamp duties, distance tables, a very comprehensive list of Government and other officials, marine notices, postal information, a table of the fees and allowances under the New Resident Magistrates Court Act, telegraphic charges to all stations, &c. These particulars are for the most part correctly given, and the book containing 144 pages is published at one shilling. We may instance an error in the list of J.P.’s, the last name given not having yet been appointed, and it would have been an improvement if the sitting days of the District Court had been given in the calendar. Messrs. Card and Grey have sent some copies to our office for the convenience of f parties desirous of obtaining the work. A very ludicrous, but not over-creditable, affair took place on Thursday afternoon last. A number of shearers and dumpers haring secured a fiddler and fifer, paraded the town with green ribbons round their hats. A portion carried a board on which was a miniature coffin containing | an easily recognised black figure, well known as Purkiss’ black cook Cuffy, with an inscription \k affixed stating that Cuffy had died through eat-1 ing “Gingerbread.” Another card stated*: that a brass button attached was a medal re- f| ceived by the makers of the gingerbread from// H.E. Sir G G ! while alongside the coffirß/J was a specimen of the gingerbread which it was"! said had caused the alleged death. through the town, the party got possession ox celebrated ten guinea prize cake, which, mounted | on a board, figured in the procession, which was % headed by a man carrying a British ensign. In ! this fashion they proceeded to the Bakery, but found that “Sutherland” had taken his ture for Wellington, a very fortunate thing far him, as there can be but little doubt but that the consequences, had he been caught, v/ould have been rather wet than welcome. | Another Wreck at Auckland Isles.— 73* Lives Lost.- 10 Survivors Rescued after 18/ Months’ Imprisonment. —By the overland mail which arrived yesterday (Friday), we cull the. following particulars from the Nelson Examiner | of the previous day:—“On Sunday night last, mne|r men and one woman, the survivors of the cretMjl

and passengers of the American ship General* Grant, 83 in number, who sailed from on the 4th of May, 1866, were landed at Bluff* harbour by the whaling brig Amherst, bavin/ M been rescued from the Auckland Islands on tl ■ 21st November last, where the General Grar fl was wrecked upwards of 18 mouths previously . The General Grant, bound to London with a cargo of wool, sighted Auckland Islands on the 13th of May, and the weather being thick, got , too near the land ; there being no wind, a strong; current carried her the next day on to the rockslj on a bold shore, where she got jammed, and broklj up. In attempting to land, sixty-seven lived 1 were lost by swamping of the boats. After re* 1 maining on the island till the 22nd of January j last year, the chief officer and three of the left in a boat with the intention of endeavouring to make the coast of New Zealand. The names of the survivors brought off by the Amherst are : —Mary Anne Jewel (stewardess), Joseph Jewel, William Ferguson, Patrick Coughey, Nicholas Allen, Cornelius Drew, James Teer, A. M. Sangilly, A. Harpman, and David Ashworth,” The fine handy sea-going craft Falcon, Capt.} W. Cracknel!, took her departure from the WoolsffctFon f’riiiay last, with 94 bales of wool (the ' largest lot ever taken by her) for the ship Cissy, v. Was towed over the bar at 11 a.m. on Saturday | by the p.s. Lyttelton, arrived alongside the ship IB at 2 p.m, and had to wait while the steamer ' discharged. The Falcon discharged 13 bales on| Saturday, and the remainder in the morning. VI She left the ship at half-past 9 same day, with a strong wind from the westward, and reached in abreast of Palmer’s Head under double-reefed mainsail alone, it blowing a perfect hurricane ; y made sail and beat up to Wellington at 5 p.m. « the same day. She left Wellington again for - Blenheim on Sunday morning, with a fresh breeze - from N.N.W., the weather being thick and hazy. ■’ Stood across for the Tory Channel, on account of keeping her broadside on to the sea, so that the ? passengers would feel the benefit of it, and t arrived off the bar at 2 - 39 p.m. same day, after, ; a quick run of hours. On account of the tide being low on the bar at the time, she had to wait . until 5 p.m. before sufficient water allowed her H to cross, and arrived at Duck Island the same night. Owing to the strong N. W. wind that was ■ blowing on Monday, she was unable to reach the, , Wharf before Tuesday morning. She left again I for Port Underwood (via the Woolshed) on Wed* I nesday. She brought the following passengers ; * Mrs. C. Redwood, child, and servant; Mta. T. ■ Redwood and, child, Mr. iJeymour Hall, Mt.M Whifctam, and two other*. , w|

.Why is a newspaper like an army? Because it haa leaders, columns, and reviews. Synagogue. —The members of the Jewish persuasion in Wellington contemplate building a synagogue on the terrace, and an effort is to be made to collect subscriptions for the intended object. Already a sum of £4BO has been raised amongst themselves. — lndependent.

More Reductions.—According to the Wellington Independent, the General Government employes in ihe several departments in Auckland recently received a circular announcing to them that they may be prepared for any change either as regards reduction of, salary or loss of situation altogether. Postal Conference.—The Melbourne Argus, of the 28th ultimo, states that “the decision of the Home Government on the postal question, although adverse to the resolutions of the late conference, has been received with great satisfaction in Victoria, the desire of the public being for more frequent communication with England, via Galle.”

The Indians.—Arizona advices to the 11th ult. received at San Francisco on the 28th, report fighting between the Indians and the military. Fresh outrages are continually reported—the Indians recently carried off 100 tons of corn, 300 head of cattle, and killed 20 white men in one county alone. An accident happened on Lambton Quay on the 10th instant, by which a little girl named Harriet Compton had her leg broken. She was running across the street when a butcher, who was riding along while looking behind him, accidentally rode over her, and upon her being taken home, it was found that the poor child’s leg bone was fractured.— lndependent. In the Westland papers is published a notice from the Postmaster at Hokitika to the effect that Westland, being now a separate county, will for all postal purposes be regarded as a province. Letters to or from Christchurch, or elsewhere beyond the limits of the country, will therefore be charged at the inter-provincial rate—namely, threepence under the half ounce. The well-known Mias Rye, writing to the London Times on the ignorance of a large portion of the lower classes in England about the antipodes, says that a girl in reply to an enquiry what she considered the special drawbacks to emigration, thus answered, “Oh (with a long sigh), I do hear out there they does perch upon the trees.”

f Maelboeodoh Timber Export.—A correspondent of the Marlborough Press writes;— “ The shipping returns from the Mahakipawa district show that upwards of 250,000 feet of sawn timber have been shipped within the last twenty-three days, and I am glad to state there lis no appearance of the demand ceasing, although the timber trade, like every other industry is subject to fluctuations.”

i Reported Gold Discovery.—There was a report about town last night that gold had been discovered near Manawatu, but, after making due enquiry, w r e could not find that the rumour Ikd—atiy ■ foundation, and Cobb’s coach, which arrived yesterday afternoon, brought no such intelligence. The report probably arose from the fact that Mr. Grove, with a party, is prospecting at Horowhenua, which lies about half way between Otaki and Manawatu. — lndependent.

I Fire.— About half-past seven o’clock yesterday evening a strong smell of lire being noticed about a house on Lambton Quay, known as the Panama Restaurant, Mr. Mulligan, who occupies the adjoining premises, went in and discovered that a mattress in a room on the ground floor behind the kitchen was on fire. It was very fortunate that the fire was discovered when it was, as the house was uninhabited, the former tenants jhaving vacated it that morning. There was RSfchmgto show how the mattress caught light.— independent.

I Another dark deed of bloodshed has been Committed in the Waimea district, where the tody of a man named Hugh Carmichael has been found in an advanced stage of decomposition, dying in a hole at the back of liis tent, about three feet and a-half deep, and sufficiently long to contain the body without doubling it up. A leather strap was twisted tightly about the neck of the deceased, and the clothes were partially dragged ioff the body, as if a scuffle had taken place. A man named Douglas, who had formerly worked with the deceased, has been apprehended on suspicion,— Mail.

Illicit Distillation.—A still holding fifty -gallons, with all the necessary materials, wort, &c., has been seized at Wairarapa, The owner’s name is Ridgway, and he has been fined £2O. Another still was also very recently discovered, in full working order in a cave among the rocks, a little way on the road between Westport and Charleston, together with about four casks of liquor ready for working. The casks were at once broken, and the remainder of the plant conveyed to town. There were no people on the premises at the time of the discovery, and the offenders are still at liberty.

The Timaru Herald, of the Ist inst., says : ‘ * Another and rather severe shock of earthquake was felt in many parts of the district on Saturday morning about one o’clock. The shock was felt by numbers of people in town, who were woke up by the noise made by the moving of glasses in their bedrooms. We have received accounts from the Orari arid the Cave of the shock being felt in each of those districts. To the south of Timaru it was also felt, and at once reoqjfhised.”

Mr, J. C. Eoddington.—Amongst the passengers by the Taranaki was Mr. J. C. Boddington, who has arrived from Blenheim, where he occupied the position of Manager of the branch of the New Zealand Bank established there. Mr. Boddington, as many of our readers are aware, formerly held an appointment in the Bank of New Zealand at Wellington, and now returns to resume his duties. We gladly welcome back a gentleman, who, during his residence here, made many friends.— lndependent. Yacht Race.—On the 3rd inst., as the cutters St. Kilda and Sandfly, the latter of which is being used by the Earl of Pembroke as a yacht, were cruising about some five miles down the bay, the Earl’s people invited Captain Ryan to a race down to the anchorage. Captain Ryan assented, and at once ran the St. Kilda under the stern of the Sandfly. Both vessels were then close-hauled aud beat up to the holding ground tack and tack. The race was a very close one, admirable seamanship being displayed on both sides ; but it resulted in the St. Kilda reaching the anchorage ten minutes before her opponent. The Earl and some friends were on board the Sandfly at the time ; and the race was witnessed by a number of persons from the shore. Both vessels are of the same tonnage, and of Auckland build. — lndependent. The General Government Gazette publishes the following scale of allowances for prosecutors and witnesses :—Laborers, per diem, 6s ; journeymen, &c., per diem, 10s ; master tradesmen, farmers, yeomen, and auctioneers, per diem, 15s ; professional men, per diem, £1 Is.

Witnesses in the pay of the General or Provincial Governments will not be paid for their time, but only for extra costs occasioned by their attendance.

Accident in the Waimea River.--On Wednesday last, at about 4 p.m., an accident occurred at the Appleby crossing of the Waimea river to a very valuable herse and dray, the property of Messrs. J. and G. Lines. The dray was loaded with straw, accompanied by two men, and when in about the middle of the river, which was much swollen, the horse fell. The driver, David Alcock, slipped down over the front of the load, but, losing his hold, was immediately washed away, and providentially reached the opposite bank in safety. The other man, Thomas Coombs, slipped down the back of the load, but tne current being strong, and the water nearly up to his armpits, he was unable to maintain a footing. By retaining his hold he succeeded in clearing the load, but being without a knife he had much difficulty in doing so, and the unfortunate horse made its last straggle about a minute before it it was cleared of the harness. Although the ferry-boat was within fifty yards of the accident, no boatman was there, nor did assistance arrive until the horse had died, then a horseman came up and took the last named man from the cart. Examiner.

The English Grain Market. —The London correspondent of the Argus, dating October 26, writes as follows respecting the results of the harvest : —“A change, as unexpected as it is disastrous, has come over the corn market. Two months ago, when I wrote on the prospects of the harvest, * hope told a flattering tale.’ Everything betokened the safe gathering of at least a good average crop; and nothing beyond a reported unsoundness in the potato crop appeared to darken the food prospects of the year. Suddenly, says the Times, in the midst of our very natural satisfaction, * the prospect became clouded. It was not denied that the harvest had been to all appearance such as it was reported to be, but it was said the corn did not thrash out well. Under the sickle everything seemed right; under the flail there was found to be a deficiency.’ Unfortunately, England does not suffer alone in this respect. The harvests of Western Europe generally are described as defective, and in one part of Sweden the inhabitants are said to be actually starving Then the accounts from America, which at first were exceedingly promising, have been gradually modified in an unfavorable sense ; and either from an ascertained deficiency, or some less direct cause, the New York markets began to rise. This told at» once upon our home markets, and the result is seen jn prices which seem to carry us back to the old days of thejiGomrLaws;' The icom crbpschave partially ■ failed inSpain; tin N orthern Germany; and signally so in France. ”

The price of land in Auckland must surely bo at its minimum. We learn tbat Brown, Campbell, and Co., of that city, have purchased from the natives about 8,000 acres of land between Wairoa and Taupo, the price being £250 per block, or sevenpence three farthings per acre ! Moreover, the sum of £lO only was paid on account !! We thought that the days of landjobbing with the natives were long past, but we were mistaken it seems. Return- of Expatriated Maoris. —The Wellington Independent contains the following:— Considerable interest was manifested yesterday morning at the arrival of the brigantine Despatch, from the Chatham Islands with a number of Maoris, who are en route to Taranaki, the country of their forefathers. These Maoris belong to the Ngatitamu tribe, and the elder of them were driven from Taranaki between thirty and forty years ago, at the time of the great Waikato invasion. Flying from their conquerors, they went to Waikanae and Port Nicholson, and finally sought a refuge at the Chathams, where they easily reduced the Morioris, who were neither possessed of so much physical courage, nor of such improved weapons of warfare, as themselves, to a state of slavery, and treated them, it is said, with great cruelty. The proximate cause of the present migration is the havoc caused amongst the Maoris at the Chathams by the measles which has given rise to one of those panics to which the Maori mind is so prone, but no doubt the amor patrie which is so strong in the Maori breast, has had considerable influence in determining them to return to New Zealand. Their destination is the Northern part of the province of Taranaki. About 125 arrived yesterday, and the Despatch has been chartered to transport another detachment. The Hawke's Bay Times has received the following from a correspondent writing from England by the last Panama mail;—“The quantity of New Zealand wool was the largest ever submitted at any sale. Upwards of 37,000 bales were catalogued. The supply of wool was large, while owing to the unprecedented contraction in trade the demand had lessened, hence the market has proved languid. The state of America with its prohibitory tariff tends to divert wool to the English market.” With reference to the classification and packing of wool for the home market, he also says :—“There are great complaints among buyers of the uneven manner in which New Zealand in general fails to attend to the classification and packing of its clips. It depreciates materially the value of a good clip to pack it unevenly. If it is at any time necessary to put two kinds of wool in one bale, it is not objectionable, provided they are not mixed, and that a line or mark is made round the bale denoting the place of division; such attention imparts confidence, and the brand becomes distinguished and known, so much so that in times of depression a great advantage is gained, as well-known brands command a sale when it is difficult to move off others.” The Hawke's Bay Times says :—“ We consider the above remarks so important that we afford them all the prominence in our power, in the hope that the complaints made against the New Zealand woolgrowers may effect an improvement in the getting up of the staple export of the colony to the satisfaction of the buyer and the profit of the sheep farmer. The depression in the home market is regarded as but of a temporary character, and without any uneasiness. While it continues those affected thereby must endeavour to counteract its effects in some other measure by the exercise of economical management until a reaction produces a more favourable state of the home market.”
