We are enabled to give an unqualified denial to the statement of our morning • contemporary that tho breakwater has not been damaged by subsidence, but by the weakness of tho monolith. Our contemporary's observer looked down on the work from the top of the bluff; had he sto id on tho beach he would havo seen that at tho damaged part thero has been a subsidence in length of about forty feet, the greatest depression being three feet. This is the third timo thero has been a siukage at that particular spot, and it is now believed that tho blocks have bottomed the pocket. The rest of the breakwater has not been in the slightest degree injured.

Our Hastings correspondent writes an follows : —" Mr W. Proctor, so well knows in this town, has started a produce store in Nelson-street, and as tho produce that is on sale has been locally grown on tho Proctor Brothers' farm, thero is no doubt that a fair share of trade will rowiird Mr Proctor's now venture.—Tho Zealandia Riuk, that has been started here for some time in the Hastings Town Hall, has mot with very good success. Tho proprietors sparo no pains iv instructing their pupils in tho graceful art, and the result is that a marked progress has been made by those patronizing the Zoalandia Rink. Tho fair sex receive every attention, and many of them aro already vory proficient."

The Municipal Council sat in committee last night, His Worship the Mayor presiding, to consider plans for the protection of tho town against the encroachment of the sea. After a long consultation at which Mr J. T. Carr, O.E. was present, it was decided to erect a concrete wall, sixty-six feet out from the frontage of the present line of houses on Marine Parado, starting from a point in a line with the railway crossing on the White road, and continuing it at that width to tho top of Emersonstreet, then coming in to the sound wall, in front of tho Corporation offices, and, at the end of that wall, to run out to the sixty-six feet width, and continue to the end of Coote road. The estimated cost is about £7000. The committee then adjourned till Monday to consider ways and means.

Yesterday morning some one, who was not recognised by tho Sergeant-Major, left a note for tho Police Inspector. On opening it tho letter wa» found to contain tho proof of the title-page to a pamphlet, about to bo issued, giving tho Life and Adventures of Jonathan Roberts. It is well sprinkled with adjectives, and in ono part has the words " with tho account of hia fital capture." Tho word "final "has been struck out in the proof, and it was doubtless with a viow of eliciting some idea from Inspector Pender as to whether it was worth while retaining- the word or not that the proof was so kindly sent for lus revision.—Christehurch Press. Tho Woodlands correspondent of the Southland Times says;— The small bird nuisance should soon bo a thing of the past if farmers took combined action in the manner Mr E. Kinir and his son adopt. Each provides himself with a lighted lantern after darkness sets in, taking opposite directions, and going along the lee aide of tho gorse hedges the birds are easily picked from their perches and bagged, making no attempt to escape. The catch averages 100 birds in two hours for each man or lad employed.

In consequence of a statement in a telegram from Dunedin that the appointment of Judge Ward to the vacant Judgeship would not be acceptable to Bar or Bench, a meeting of membora of the legal profession in Christehurch was held at the Supreme Court library at 3 p.m. yesterday. There were twenty-seven present, and apologies were received from Beveral others who were uuablo to attend owing: to tho shortness of the notice of tho meeting. Tho following resolution was carried unanimously :— " That tho members of tho legal profession present at this meeting, having praotised for soma years before His Honor Judge Ward, aro of opinion that his permanent appointment as Supremo Court Justice would bo acceptable to the profession." It was decided to forward tho resolution to tho Minister of Justice. ~

Tho Cunard Liner Etruria, which arrived at Queonstown early last month from Now York, brought intelligence of a thrilling tale of the sea. A vesselnaraed thoDwarka, whilst bound to Kamche, with a crew of seven hands, foundered on the Cutch coast. Tho seven seamen at once took to tho mast, which became unshipped and was drifting near tho shore, when one of their number was heard to shriek and immediately disappeared. The others to their horror, realised that they were surrounded bysharks, with no means of escaping, as the mast not only gave way with their weight, but could not be kept steady on account of the rough stato of tho sea. One by one the men were snapped away by the sharks, until only ono man remained to tell the tajo. Ho escaped the dreadful death which was staring him in tho face, and after two days and nights tossing about, expecting every minuto to be devoured, he was washed ashore alive.
