Medical Appointment.—We learn that Doctor Pollen, of Gisborne, has been appointed medical adviser to the Ngatiporou natives on the East Coast. Napier FouNdrey.—We notice by recent exchanges that a five ton steam hammer has arrived from Cranston and Cranshaw’s. of Glasgow, per City of Cashmere at Port Chalmers for the proprietor of the Hawke’s Bay Iron Works, Mr K. Nasmith. We wish the enterprising proprietor every success. Benevolent Society.—The monthly meeting of this society was held yesterday. Bills for hospital furniture were audited and passed. It was resolved that the property of the society be insured. That the nurse be authorised to obtain necessary provisions by direction of the doctors. A second patient was admitted for treatment. Donations of vegetables, books, papers, old linen, Ac., will be thankfully received by the committee. Soot O I—The business of chimney sweep and night soilman is now in active working, an advertisement appears in this issue from Edward Burch announcing that orders left either at Mrs East’s or at Messrs Parnell and Boylan's will be promptly attended to. There will be no excuse now for persons letting their cliimnies catch fire for want of having them swept; while the pesiiferous stench that now' and then offends one’s nose from the overflow of waterclosets need no longer pollute the atmosphere, and help to run up a bill of costs for the doctor.

Telegraph Station. —Anew telegraph station, we are informed, has been opened at Waitotara in the province of Wellington.
