AUCKLAND.
This day;
A child, aged six years, daughter of MrjCogblan, manager of the Turkish Baths,; fell from a basement wall, 22 feet high, yesternight, causing concussion of the brain. The child is still insensible.' -The, game of polo is becoming very popular here.
The Herald's Wellington correspondent writes': —"Up Ao the present time, the number of applications in regular form under the Eoads and Bridges Construe-, tion Act appears to be 89, and the amount applied for about £750,000; but it will' still take somo time;to go through them and ascertain bow far the applications are in order. It is quite impossible either to class them as Provincial or under Main and District Boads. — Surprise is expressed at the AgenUGeneral inviting tenders for a Steam Service, while none "are-invited in New Zealand. I may state" that tenders will be advertised for in the colony as soon as the Agent' General's letter is received forwarding the terms as decided. Ample time will be given for Colonial tenders to be sent- Home. The Agent^Gcneral'sv letter is expected next mail. The reason given for persisting in inviting tenders, in spite of the New Zealand Shipping Co.'s enterprising action, is that the Government feels bound to secure a permanent service under contract, whereas the Shipping Co., or any other shipowners, if unfettered, might discontinue the service at any time if it was found not to pay."
A bushmau was found drunk last night in Queen street with £200 in his posses* sion.
