TAE AITOJBNEY Q-EWBftAIi AND THE Ministby: — We notice a paragraph iv ♦• Herald" of yesterday, stalling that " a report isicurrent m the Southern . papers that Mr Rolieston is about to joiu the > Ministry, ''arid that ifc is not improbable that Mr Whitaker will retire from the Attorney-Q-oneralahip." Wo are m a position, aa ffir as reference to Mr Whitaker ia concerned, to give the report a positive contradiction. Adjoubnhent ob Licensing-. Courts, Hamilton and Cambridge, —In conseqence ot the continued illness of tko Resident Magistrate, Mr SeavancVe, ' the Hamilton and Cambridge Licensing Courts will stand adjourned, to the 14th and . .lotli.inat, . respectively. The criminal and civil cases . will be heard thia morning, as m the absence of tho 11 M, a couple or more of local Justices will be " ru-n m" for tho occasion. At Ngaruawahia on Tuesday, both Resident Magistrates and Licensing Courts had to bo adjourned until Tuesday next. . •■ DrsoHARGBn with A CAtnioN. — Yesterday ah eldorly man, named William Stable, who . has been borrowing small Burns of money, begging, and otherwise doing the " bummer'- businos m Hamilton, a9 the Americans would call it, was taken up by tho police, and charged before Col Lyon with vagrancy. The Court discharged him with a caution. o.n . hia promising to leave the district, and threatening him with "throo months" if brought up again at tho Hamilton Police Court; ••.'•• The following gentlemen have been gazetted rangers, under the Protection of Animals Act, 1873 :-- Riohard Parker, W L Martyn, John -Euncitnan, John Fisher, Robert Kirk wood, Robert G \[ Campbell, Henry 0 Pergusaoa, ' John Smith, Captain G-ilbert iVlair, It W Hammond, B Ji Cox, T>eier Walker, Captain Steele, Cuptain McPhsraon, M. De Vcre Hunt, . James _ Buokland, Constables Joyce, JBrennan, .Hoar, Wild, and Deteotivo Doolan. - REiIOTAIi'OF THS WHAT 4 Wh^TA Constable. —We doubt very mucli that Inspector Thomson has been wisely advised m the removal .of Constable Menziea from Whata Whata .to To Awamutn. That a police consstublo was rieceaoary: for tho latter district is beyond doubt, just, as, at the very luasl;, -a sargeant's guurd is ncceas-uy for Kihitihi, but doiog as tioy hare dono tho 'Department is following tho Irishmtiu'a exaraplo who endeavoured to lengthen hia blanket by sewing onto • one end a piece cut fcoca off the othoiv Time was when Wiyitft Whatft- nad no conaiiable, and periodically the township was a pandemonium on a saiall scale when tho native element got drunk and uproarious, and so, doubtless, it- will be again when" money and rum being, in conjunction, the planots are favourable to a shindy. This -eort.of thing, however, should be specially guarded against. a word, an insuit, a blow, perhaps bloodshed, and the colony, which has saved the cost of a single constable, may be put to the expense of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY. — It •• was stated (says yesterday's J* Z * Herald ') at Monday's- nreotiug that after paymeat of sala-ies, &c, the balanco -at the Bank, 6f Jfew Zaaland was £158 4s. In reply to questions, the chairman said that the Society was a loser to the extent ot £120 by the change m the term of the shooting season. The grounds upon which the alteration was raado were Derhnpß easily understood, and that if young birds wore shot m large numbers, the effect would be to interfere very materially with the available supply from year to year. There had been a reduction m the number of days, but it was doubtful whether there was anything gained to the sportsman.— Mr Pond : I believe that there are no rangors appointed, and that there is practically no restriction whatever upou -shooting. — The Chairman : 'that is not the iault of the society. For some reason or another there has been delay m the appointmont of the rangers. But I am informed that they are now. appointed. Asotheb Kew Building recently started m Hamilton is beginning. to make a show, and that ia the n<sw carriage factory and warehouse being erected by Messrs Yialou and Co. contiguous to thoir show rooms and workshops iv VicioriaSsreet. GChe building is being erected m the rear of the vacant allotment between r the preoent workshops and the. Times office, and consists of a main building 50 feet by 30 feet, the ground floor of which will be uaed as a coach factory; and the upper floor as s warehouse for general Btock.snch as f urnituro,agricultaral implements &c. Attached is a smaller building 20 ftet k/ 15 feeb. with fireplace,

Adozjn or so of Maoris kept it. m, complete uproar, and Us inhabihants ~ m constant; dread o£ a ' row.' The faot; ia,. ..from tho. description of an eye-witness^ the Maoris had fairly possession of the place and did, as tho/ hlsed, gob drunk anxl- quarrelsome, force,! the' hotelkespera, when, refused, ,to supply .them with drink under -threat of takinv; what they wanted, an 4 played iip .^onerally, with an amount .of- bounce and in- : Bolenee which, it ' was hard for the residents to bear. Aud-to suppress thU sorb ef think a single police constable is to" be Rationed at Kihikiht, instead of making it^ as oiroumst an ceg require should be done, a regular station for a detachment of the Arin«d Constabulary. Some day we shall liear of a collision between the natives and Europeans, and that tha latter have t3ken tae law iqto their own hands and summarily' punished insolence and insult* m a manner which may bring trouble on the Government' ■and on the colony.

A olbaranob h( s now been made of the buildings belonging to the Armed Constabulary, m Hamilton. The Gymnasium, Bcene of Bali, Conceffc, and Rinking mrtationa/has/bocpiho 'a thing of the pa3t,^udis, with the 'bfeher build-: ing reoently demolished* now ou it3'way to shine m renewed splendour at Cainbridgo. All that, remains is the stabliog, not worth removal— the large building formerly ugecV as a -Militia hojpital aud the Militia Officers Quarters, by the old redoubt. Tho Jhospital" and the officers qu.irter3 v now naecl'as an orderly room will be handed over to the General Government," the former at once, and the latter at the end of the month, up to which time it' will continue to ba uaed>for present purposes. " It would make a capital head quarters for the Waiketo' Police, containing, office room and'quarters for the two men and seargaant stationed m Hamilton. The larger buildiug m the ' barracks, formerly used as a hospital and morelately as quarters for mon of the A,C. Force should at once be applied for by the Town Board as a public building suitable for pffioes, hoidiiigpublic maeting^s, balls, '$6.., or letting for concerts and other entertainments. The tovnnsmsn would have a piace to me^t on public busines,s aad the Town Board besides having offices of their own would raise a revenue by the lottiug of fche large roooa quite sufßjieut to kesp the wnoie preoaises m order and repair.

Bloc Light Bath 3 are, it : appears, an infallible remody for _ pains ia tha bunts arising from rheumatism or railway collisions, and an interesting account; is given by Q-ouoral Ploaaantoo,, ia a latter to the * Chicago Tunas,' of the immediate beuefit ho derived by adopting thi3 mode of treatment. In Ucbober ias.t he met with a tenous acoiclent ia alighting from a train m Philadelphia. His phy&icUu said theru hud bueu no fracture of the ribs or bones, but that ho woult suffer a long time from the effects of the shock and fall. Linimeuts and piaiaiera afforded no relief ; he therefore reeolved to try a blue-light b»th. In his bath-room he had a vviudow with a southern exposure arrauged with alternate panes of blue and transparent glass/ Uncovering his back, the gallant genorar sab with his bacli to the blue and sun lights which were streaming through the window into the bath-room; .As soon as these lights began to fall on his -back, General PJeasauton felt much relieved, and at the end of 'half an hour the pains had ceased altogether. Towards evening they returned, but they were much less thaa before ha had taken the blue-light bath, and ho was able for the first tium to get some, sleep during the night. The next day he took another bath of blue and sun lights, which effectually relieved him of all pain, and since then, now about three months ago, he has not had the slightest return of .uneasiness, three consecutive sun and bluelight baths have completely removed tha effects of his accident. The glass used waa of dark blue, the color being deriv d from a preparation of cobalij fused wiih other ingredients, and was importod f rom France.—' Pall Mall Gazette.'

Mr Sjsvjsbn's Scientipio Lectctbjjs and TiiEiJi BEBTJIT. -r- A writer m a Nelson paper says : — A. most.lainerUabie result, I grieve to hear, has accrued to a gentlemau who attended one of the course of aaientiGVlecUires now being delivered ia jSTeleon. A lady correspondent, whose name, m compliance >vith, bur spociaLroquest, I refraiu from disclosing, has written to mo qb followe :— *'.Mr P.— Dear Sir, — I hope we. ain't going to havß no more of them lecturos here. ..My husbaud were bocoming a perfect moddlo, and one of the aaberesfc men alive till lie went to hoar what Mr Seven bar] gob to say, and to see what ho had to show. I had took great care o I him, and he was just going to bo mado aDVV C T,.1 O&X b «'t on Tuesday night lie come home from the lecture with the hiccups, and then I knowed at once that something were wrong, and that all the good I had been doing him by my . lectures were thrown away. * Mary.' says he, when he Baw how I looked at him, ' I can't help it. I can't drink water no more without a drop of sperrits ia it, just to kill the animalklee.' 'To kill what ?' snya I. ' The auiinalklee,' Bays he* „*Oh, Mary,to think that there should b& such a lot of spiders and beetles, and tadpoles ; and u gb" great fishes all ready -to uaw away at your inurds m one drop* of water, Mary you know before we was married I used to sjo on the bust now and." then, aud once had the deeteeß, : and when I was that way I saw on the walls of the room just what we wore showed m that drop of water. No, its no use, I can't drink water neat no louder. : I must hare sutnmut to kill them great things that go a larruping and wriggling about, and playing leapfrog with each other.' . JNow, Mr P, what I want to ask is if we ought to have lecturers, a going about and inakiug out that water's sueii a beastly thing to drink ? You'll find my r.-al name at the baok ofthis, but for goodness, sake" don't say what ibis, but just put it Mary Hopkins."
