Mr Sydney Johnston (brother of the Postmaster-General) is actively engaged canvassing Clive district, now represented by Mr Ormond. Several Chinamen, who have been market-gardening at Greymouthfor some years, lately left for Homo. During the recent stormy weather the Penguin was 39 hours between Napier and Wellington. The far-famed Cyfartyfa Works in South Wales were closed on June 4, and the last of the men paid olf.

Dr Carr has abandoned mesmerism, and is at Gunnedah, where (says an exchange) he is practising in medicine. Mr Edward Stone will succeed Sir George Airey as Astronomer Eoyal.
