Mr Sass at 2 p.m. ; and on Sunday, Jan. 3rd, at 11 a.m., by the Rev. Mr Sass. Sir William and Lady Fox were paisengers for Wellington by the Stormbird yesterday afternoon. We understand that Sir William is undetermined aa yet as to what part of the colony lie will cast anchor in, but it is most likely ho will make Auckland his head-quarters, and from that make frequent tours to other parts, as Lady Fox's health appears to be very much improved by travelling. — Chrtnicle. Captain Edwin telegraphed at 4.16 p.m. yesterday aa follows : — lndications of strong north east to north-west winds after 12 liours. The glass will fall withiu that time. Members of the Choral Society are reminded of the first practice to take place on Wednesday next the 6th January. The Right Hon. W. E Foreter is very ill. His medical attendants stab* that he is in a critical condition. He is suffering from an affection of the brain. A little boy, whose father was rather an immoderate driuker, one fay sprained his wrist, and the mother utilised the whiskey in her husband's bottle to bathe the little fellow's wrist with. After awhile the pain began to abate, and the child surprised his mother by exclaiming, " Ma, has pa got a sprained throat ?" < At the adjourned inquest on the body of John Hazelhurst, further medical evidence entirely exonerated the Greens from the imputation of ill-usage. Th« boy had suffered from hereditary syphilis and this, in conjunction with sunstroke, were in the doctor' opinion sufficient to account for the strange appearance of the body, but they consider the cane to be startling and unique. Tim jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from snnstroke, no blame being attached to the Greens in any way.
