ThQ Bay of Plenty Times states on reliable authority that Mr Vesey Stewart will stand as a candidate for the vacancy at the Thames at the apf proaohing election. The running of trains through the Thameß Tunnel waa commenced on April 10. A company is being formed to construct another Thames subway at Woolwich. It will be for foot passengers oaly, accommodating five abreast, aud will cost £70,000. To make a subway available for wheeled traffic would cost £350,000, and the promoters despair of being able to raise so large a sum for such a purpose.
Professor Huxley had a pleasant surprise the other day. Oa opening his letters he found in one of them a cheque for £1000, sent him by a Mr Thomason, of Manchester, in fulfilment of a wish expressed by his late father, who had been a great admirer of Professor Huxley's contributions to science.
