Several letters to the Editor aro held over. The somewhat odd caso of G. Thomas and Co. v. D. Maotfonald, in which, when before tho MagMrate's Court last week, the defendant repudiated the signature to a promipaory note on which he was being sued, was disposed of to-day. Macdonald modified hie previous statement in regard to the sifjnatnro As a further defence he said that the plaintiffs having withdrawn the case from Court on a previous occasion, ho assumed that it was not going to bo further proceeded with. His Worship gave judgment in plaintiffs' favour for the amount claimed, £4 15s sd, and .£1 lls coats, but ordered the plaintiffs to indemnify thedefendant aeninft loss in case a second promissory note for the nmonnt sued for, less interest, which the defendant admitted having signed, and which had been mislaid or lost, should turn up, and a demand be made upon him for the amonnt. During the heavy north-west breeze this morning the yacht Xanthe, owned by Messrs. J. Jamieson & Co., broke away from her moorings at To Aro and drifted on to the breastwork, near the Gasworks. There was a very confused sea in the harbour, and the ya"ht bnmped heavily asrainst the breastwork for several honrs. damaging herself to a considerable extent, the efforts of her crew to kedpre her off beinsr futile. As wo went to press the steamer T)uco wns irmkinp an effort to tow her off. The Xnntho collided with the yaoht. Ariel before reaohing shoal water, and broke the latter's bowsprit.

Scottish papers announce the death of David Grant, the last survivor of the illfated steamer Forfarshire, memorable for the heroism of Grace Darling. At the age of 15 he went to sea, and had just finished bis apprenticeship of five years, when his ship ran ashore in the Gulf of Finland and was wrecked. Then for some yearshe was engaged in coasting vessels, and in 1837 signed as a seaman on board the Forfarshire, and was one of those rescued when that vessel was wrecked on the Fame Islands. This second disaster cured him- of his love of seafaring, and he has since been tending cows in the neighbourhood of Dundee. The following is a description by Mr. Tnnes, F.R.A.S., of Sydney, of the comet lately reported from that city, and which has also been seen here : — " It is qnite close to Zeta Horologii, a fifth magnitude star, and in the telescope it is in the same field of view as the donble star H 3520. The nucleus or coma, as seen in an B£in reflecting telescope, is large and bright (abont lOmin of aro in diameter), and it bulges out towards the tail, whioh is very faint, bnt longer than wns to be expected — folly l£deg to 2deg. If, as is probable, the comet is approaching the snn, it may become a brilliant naked-eye objeot." Tub latest afternoon tea chat is about those beautiful Frenoh pattern bonnets that C.
