The Herald says : — " At Wangauni, afew days ago, Mr Low, auctioneer; sold cattle, Bneep, poultry, &c, the donations of settlers to the Presbyterian Church there. The sale realised' somewhere about £50." - ' • A census is being taken in California at present, and it is estimated that it will show the population of the state to" be about 530,000.The population of San Francisco at the begin* ning of the present year was 170,250. The value of the real and personal property in tho State is set down by the official assessors at 240,000,000 dollars, or £50,000*000. The Bulletin, however, considers that this is only about a third of the true value. In an article on the tariff proposals of the Government, the Westport Times says:— "lt cannot, however, be for one moment supposed that the Colonial Treasurer is a believer in this exploded doctrine. The proposals in question will be the means of au increased revenue, and tho Treasurer believes in that if not in protect tion; and it will also serve as an allurement to the largely represented constituencies of the Middle Island. Canterbury, Ofcago, and Southlaud will gain considerably by a duty upon, grain and flour, as also by the remission of duty" upon the various articles exclusively: used by the farmers and agriculturists ; and as these pro* . vinces alone return 29 members out of the 76 ' comprising the entire representation of the Colony, it will be readily seen what a very considerable support may be calculated upon by the Government in submitting their proposals." -
