Admiral Rous, writing to a friend in Melbourne shortly before his death, characteristically remarks : — " It appears to me ten to -one on the great disciplined army against the Turks. It will take six months to ascertain whether we ore to join the fight." We are glad to learn that Mr. M'Gowan, who was so severely injured in the recent accident at The Brothers, is making very favourable progress towards recovery. The injury proved to bo a simple fracture of the thigh, and it is hoped that two or three months will see him quite recovered. The Hon. H. R. Russell has given half of the £000 damages ho obtained ia the Waka Maori case to the Inland Hospitr '. A meeting of tho Wellington Reform Club and Working Men's Institute will be held in the side-room of the Odd Fellows' Hall, at 8 o'clock this evening, when the Hon. W. Fox will take the chair. The third term of the Wellington College for 1877 will commence ou Monday week, the 24th inst.

The above explains why Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps enjoy such unbounded popularity. — Advt.
