A company of vocalists appear at the Public Hall to-night. A stroug spring trap is advertised for sale. The Emperor of Germany stands godfather to all seventh sons in Prussia. It appears because the Sergeant stationed at Palmerston is ill it is necessary that Constable Gillespie should be removed to that town to keep matters straight. The department pays little heed for the safety of the residents of Foxton. In " political notes '•' in the Time* we are pleased to see it mentioned that our late townsman, Mr (I. W. Russell, made a good party speech on Tuesday, and received at its conclusion " loud applause." Mr Donald Grant has made a further demand on the Manawatu Road Board for loss and damage for their interference with certain drains. He gave them ten days to reply, and the Board lias replied by stating they cannoi admit any liability with regard to the matter complained of. It appears pretty certain that Sir Robert Stout will have no other companion but the faithful Earnshaw. as the Manawatn Sttuxhird declares very strongly in favour of ihe present Premier. Changes take place pretty quick in politics. Mi3s Randell, the popular Wellington soprano has, says the Post, accepted an engagement with Miss Bessie Doyle's concert company for the tour of the districts from Wellington to Auckland via the West Coast. A man locked up for being drunk in Wellington was upon being searched at the lock-up found to have no less a sum than £1444 in a pocket-book which was jauntily placed in the breast pocket of his overcoat. The accused was lined 5s by Mr Martin, S.M. The cash found by the police was made up of 14 new £100 Bank of England notes and £44 9s 6d in gold and silver. His Honour Judge Richmond in the Supreme Court on Monday said that if it was really a fact challenges were vastly greater in cases in which the prisoners were defeuded by counsel, the inference to be drawu was that challenges origiuated with counsel. This was a terrible reflection on the profession. In his opinion, any man who made himself the instrument of challenges of an improper kind, when no other reasons prevailed, was not a worthy member of a profession calling itself honourable. Judge Richmond in referring to the Palmerpion North case, in which a man was charged with robbing a woman with whom he had been drinking, said the evidence disclosed such a state of things that the attention of the licensing authorities in the district should be called to the matter. A young American eantutrke, Miss Suzanne Adams, of Boston, has concluded a three years' engagement with M. Bertrand, director of the Paris Grand Opera. The wharf hands at Suva do not bother with boats to take on' the ship's line, as they dive from the wharf and swim to the ship. Messrs Westwood & Co. will make a great display in the windows of their store to morrow night. No business will be done. The sight is bound to attract much attention. Mr Lipton, a tea merchant of London, is credited with having paid the largest cheque for duty on tea in any one dsy. The amount was £35,305 odd. " From London to Paris and back for a guinea." A new steamer is being built at a cost of £80,000, which will rim daily from Tilbury via Margate to Boulogne, returning the same day. New Zealand coal is the only coal accepted by the warships at Suva. A rush has set in to the White Feather district, Coolgardie, where a good alluvial field is reported to hav a been discovered. ! Nuggets of ten to twenty ounces have been picked up. The gold is generally of a shotty character. The men who captured the free labourers at Wilcannia have been sentenced to six months' imprisonment each. The " Party " is bidden to obey the whip, the N.Z. Times ends a leader thus : — On the whole we think the party may as well let the Minister of Lands have his way with the eternal lease in the Settlements Bill. The death is announced of Major Scully, for many years in charge of the Hawke's Bay police district. The Grand Jury on Monday morning sent to Judge Richmond for a copy of the Criminal Code, says the Post. In handing it to the messenger, his Honour said he hoped the jury would not have any difficclty in interpreting it, though he defied a layman to understand it. However, if a difficulty did arise, they had better come to him. G. D. Kirkwood, of Wanganui, for being a habitual drunkard, was sent by Judge Kettle on Monday morning to the Welling* . ton Asylum for twelve mouths, under secI tions 42 and 43 of the Lunatics Act. ! Kirkwood was recently released from imprisonment in connection with a similar 1 charge.

| An illustration of the changes of fortune I that the ups and downs of life may bring ! to men was brought the other day under I the notice of the Victorian Minister of Lands. It Was explained to the Minister, by a friend, that a man made an appeal to him on the previous day for enough to buy a meal and pay for a bed. He gave him ss, and it was arranged that he should go and see the Minister next day and get a railway pass into the country to look for work. He failed, however, to ettend at the Lands Department, for the very good reason that on the following morning he received a letter by the English mail enclosing a £50 bank note, and intimating that he had become heir to £5,000. A rather novel spectacle was to be seen lately on the Ballan-road, Ballarat, in the shape of a five-roomed cottage on jinkers. This J3 one of a number recently purchased in the Melbourne suburbs for removal, and is to be placed in Ballarat South. Mr Scottney, carrier, of Fitzroy, on whose jinkers the removal is being made, has recently sent newly-built cottages from Melbourne to Lancefield, various parts of Gippsland, Sorrento, and other places, and will shortly be removing others to Steiglite, via Geelong. He says that at the rateß at which they are now purchasable they can be landed at half the amount they would cost to build.

We are directed to call attention to the large stock of crockery, glass and china* ware now on view at the Bed House CoOp Storks, which have been imported direct from the potteries of Messrs H. C. Hawley & Co., of Liverpool, especially to the order of Thos. Westwood & Co., for the Fox ton trade, and on account of the depression in trade these goods are to be sold at actual Wellington wholesale prices. They comprise cups and saucers in every conceivable shape and pattern, plates, dishes and vases, a beautiful assortment, flower stands, hand sweets, biscuit barrels, salad bowls, jugs, about 100 sets, teapots, art flowerpots, toilet sets, cheese stands, milks, bread and butters, slops and creams, dinner services, a beautiful assortment of Blue Pearline Glassware in sugars, creams, butters, milks, celery glasses, biscuit barrels, water sets, and we would recommend all to view this stock, as it is we believe a chance to buy at prices that will not occur again. On Friday evening, from 0 to 10 o'clock, we intend having a Special Show Night, when the windows will be illuminated for public inspection.

Any attempt to enumerate even a tithe of the cheap lines now at th a disposal of customers, would be worse than useless in the space at our command, but a price list which has been printed will be sent, post free, to the address of any person applying to the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. With a view of making this sale the event of the year, two special buyers were despatched from Te Aro House, one to attend the great sale of Edwards, Bennett & Co'?, wholesale stock, and the other to pick out bargains from the manufactures of the well known Kaiapoi Woollen Co. Both these gentlemen have returned after a most successful trip, and the total result of their efforts is to bo seen in the astonishing bargains now being Fold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington. Sixty- eight cases and packages of new and seasonable good for all departments have now been opened out for present spason at the Bon Marche, and it is freely admitted that no such choice is obtainable in th? district. Buyers are invited to make their selections early while first choice of this maguificent range of new goods is still obtainable at The Bon Marche. Rosr and Sandford. — Advt. " It's an ill wind that blows nobody good " is a very old saying but none the less true. Whilst the great depression existing at Sydney at the present time, has caused a deplorable amount of misery, yet the people of Wellington and the sur rounding districts will reap a gigantic benefit. During his visit to Sydney recently, Mr James Smith purchased at absurdly low prices a large stock which is now being sold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Cc Aro House, Wellington.
