I Lord C itteHloe, who occupied a seat I m the peer's gallery at the last Budget, l\ heard his 60th Budget statement. His t L'«rd(?hip, who is now 88 years of age, ■I/was first elected to the House of Cornxnons m 1826, and has attended the Budget every year since that date. t A tmanchester Police Court, a ti*aTeller named Dunkerley, m the service of a firm of wholesale • provision ;s|nerchantß, whs charged with embezz \(ftn%, nearly J&1000 from his employer ■prisoner adniitte<l his tjnilfc, and said ile had lost all the money m betting ;-i)n horsex. There is rather a good story going the rounds m connection with the hurbour fight. A genial jovial Opuu»keman, whom we niity designnte as -••B, " was once a great favorite m. New Plymouth, and his visit to the town whs always welcome, and made ■ tho occasion of "much drink." Atrip I: to New Ply moth whs to B as an K^Misisin the desert, a. right good time Bin relieve the monotony of bucolic life, H^d vugt'i'iy looked forward to, too. IBe recent harbor diheussion has, how■^rer, changed the aspect of affairs. l|pVlii«t visit is thus described: There ■f*aano hand >liaking. »vo oheap drink ; I^3 fuel, no drink at all, unless he went ■P*' hitter." He went up and down ■the street moor n fully, and at l^t m Hl&fpet'ution offered an idler half.aif he wouhl brina; him a man ■*ko would drink with him, and to ■P^'We the money if any old chum, say ■ffre fnayor, should bo the man. The Hi^r proved resultless, bnt passing a Hpaop B was acooMted: "Are yon from ■bpunakeP" " Tes." "Are you the Ibf n - who opposes oar harbor? Well, B^ni [ < "■" t And you have the cheek up here!" Vaiioua playful H^markn followed, and a knot of New Hpiynibttthites had gathered round who Hjijppreciated the "point* "made against Kirn. The Hgsailant was a gentleman B>f the Hebtew persuasion, aud B at H<*"t turned on him: "About this You, Jew, have von vatch; H|have von Tatch; if yon vunt to 4 pop ■n vatch 'pop' y° nr v a ten , n °t my B|tch!" B scored. At any rate" the HTewroan popped back into his shop. laugh Was against him. — Hawera ■lltwoWd be diflßcult to find, says ChristcluH^ch Telegraph a more H|riking instance of the length to a brave man will go m the ento sa ve the life of a comrade i* supplied by the conduct of Smith and Bagley, Clarence Valley disaster. We the best authoiity for saying that the time when thoir unfortunate begun to fail, the desperate of the whole parry was by tsvery member of it. And that time till the survivors were by Mr. Campbell, whose conaNo reflects . the^highesc credit tlie two gentlemen we bare thought of leaving their although they, as a <>f f*ct> were strong enough to bad some hopes of reaching sholter. are sure that all who read the of that .sad and painful incident snow drifts m the Clarence bed, will find their regret for the lives softened by their mlmiration the comrades who were as true as to the last.
