16 is understood that there has been no publio response to the proposal of the Telegraph Department relative to the oponing of the Telephone Bxohange during the 'night. The publio have displayed utter apathy in tho matter, and very few applications nave been received from any part of tho colony. So far as present appoarances go. there is no possibility of the proposal being carried out. The yaoht race betweon the Isoa and Thetis was started about half-past 2 o'olook this afternoon. The Thetis made the most ot the start, and when half way down the harbour the Isoa's topmast was oarriod away. The raoe, however, was not discontinued, though it seemed as -7. the Isoa bad no further ofianoe. There was a good attendance at Mr. F. Sidey's sale of property this afternoon. The two cott-tres situated off Cambridge Terraoe fetched £270, the purohator being Mrs. Pudney. Dr. Henry Bennett, for 23 yoars a physioian at Mentone, where there is no other sewerage than cesspools, ventilated at the roof, says that in all that time there has been no epidemio in the place, no typhoid that has not been imported, and but three oases of diphtheria.
