Two stacks of hay, belonging to W. M'Kay, were burned on Thursday, at Waimato, having been set on fire by sparks from a passing railway engine. M'Kay intends bringing on action against the Government for damages. The Mail, in criticising the AttorneyGeneral's speech, says :—": — " Barren as Mr. Stout's address is, it is the best we have read since the session." The crops are looking well in many portions of the district, notwithstanding the drought. The yield of grain will not bo so large as on more favorable seasons, but a plentiful supply is looked for. At the sale of.land in the new township of Windsor, very good prices ware obtained. There is not a single vessel in port at the present time.
