The Postal Department informs us thai the B.b. Birksgate will loavo Sydnoy for Noumea and Fiji on May Ist. The B.s. Matatua, which is now in port, takes away 10,000 carcases mutton, 2000 sacks oats, 200 bales wool, and 200 casks runners. Mails for Australian colonies only, via Sydney, close at Wellington on Thursday, the 25th, at 1 p.m., and aro due in Sydney on the 30th. Wo understand that 101 men signed the petition on Thursday night for presentation to the Minister for Lands. This docs not include the men out of work iv the couutry districts, who are expected to swell the total to 170 or 180. Tho fence surrounding the troes planted on tho Cape on Arbor Days does not •eem to answer tho purpose for which it was erected. Cows walk over it or push through it, and tho trees arc not likely to be impiovcd by their incursions. Thoro is but little grass on tho roads at tho present time, and the cows and calves have found out that the cnclosuro contains somothing more toothsome than is to be found on tho well grazed roads. Our correspondent writes : The Library Committee of Pukeuri at a rccont meeting decided to get another consignment of new books for tho Library. To augment tho funds for this purpose it was decided to hold a social and dance iv tho school on Friday first, tho 26th inst. As tho last entertain* menfc of this kind was highly successful it is confidently expected that sufficient funds will bo raised to enable tho Commtttco to order books to tho valuo of Ll5 or moro. The annual meeting of householders for the election of a new school committee will be I hold on Monday. Tho retiring committee lus u very creditable report to present. Mr Herbert-Jones gives his concluding dioramic lecture to-night on " Our Country —The" World's Wonderland," when ho gives ] his inimitable descriptions and 150 superb pictures of many of tho finest sights and most interesting things in New Zealand, including the fiords, tho Alps, tho volcanoes, the Urewera country, tho Wanganui river, tho Maori Parliament, King Tawhiao's tangi, and one hundred and one other subjects. Thoio who wero not present on Saturday night misled a rare treat, and wo hope to see the hall filled this oven- ,",-% which U the last lecture Mr HerbortJones can PoMil)P 0Mil)1 y Bive8 ive in pa»n» ril > RS lie must loaC 0 tomorrow morning Wo are nW«.od to announce that school children Jones' dioramic lectiu* »f ha .P' ' ( we feel sure this opportunity wlll ] c l T 1 availed of in view of tho groat 1 * o™l0 ™ 1 value of these lectures. To bo as enigmatical as the " other paper," we may say that we found the following in iv IS'cw Zealand paper on Saturday night : " A certain New Zealand journal which has adopted an uncompromisingly hostilo attitude towards the Sydney Bulletin, which has somo remarkably good qualities intermingled with its bad, and possesses not tho vico of hypocrisy, is not above extracting paragraphs from that popular weekly and acknowledging them as from a contemporary." We presume the paragraph refers to ourselves, but wo aro not aware of havine sinned. If, however, wo should have errecl in publishing such paragraphs and crediting them to "an exchange," wo can plead ignorance of thooriginalsource, for wodouotmako it one of the duties of our existence to read the Sydney Bulletin. If the paper from which we have quoted can find anything in his regular readings of the Bulletin to warrant the application of tho word " popular" to it, then wo are extremely sorry for his perverted judgment on tho subject. Wo have seen clippings from the paper in question that wo dare not publish, unless with the certainty of being prosecuted for publishing indecent literature, and if tho "New Zoaland" evening journal to which wo refer can sco anything very "popular" in filth of tho kind that lias been shown to us, it approximates very closoly to the time when the Social Purity Association of Oamaru should unfurl its banner in the causa of ourity of life and purs htcratnro, and make its presence folt in Tyno street.
