LOCAL AND GENERAL, * In view of the widespread and sympathetic interest evinced in connection with the final obsequies to be accorded the late Premier, the last edition of the Evening Post will not bo published tomorrow evening at the usual time, but will be delayed until about 4.30 p.m. This edition of the paper will contain a full account of the funeral ceremonies, and will form, a complete record of what promises to be the mofet impressive occasion of the kind within tho history of colonial life. The Te Aute Trust Commission has now completed the taking of evidence, and the members are considering their recommendations. The death of Mr. Seddon has brought together a great gathering of old identities from the Weat Coast. Men who have lived on tho Coast all their lives, and who had not seen one another for lonpr periods, twenty years in some cases, mcl on board the steamer Arahura, all bound to Wellington on the same sad errand. To-morrow the Post Office will be closed at p.m. in all branches, during the of the late Premier. All mails for afternoon trains and for steamers sailing before 6 p.m. will close at noon. The receiving-boxes throughout the city, usually cleared at 4 p.m., will not bs cleared until 6 p.m. There will be no afternoon delivery of letteis by the letter-carriers. The medical, officer of the Oswestry Grange informed a Post reporter on Sunday morning that the immigrants who arrived by that ship were a very good class likely to moke excellent settlers. Amongst the contingent there were farm hands, labourers, engineers, and other tradesmen, all anxious to make a home here if work oft'eis. The Wellington Benevolepf. Trustees will be represented at Mr. Seddon's funeral by the chairman (the Rev. J. K. Elliott), Mr/ H. Cook, and the secretary (Mr. Purvis). Since the passing of the Building Bylaw, 1905, permits for the erection of 60 buildings have been issued by the Miramar Borough Council, the total cost being £19,789. The cjause requiring a parcel of land of not less than a quarter of an acre for each dwelling-house has, according to a report compiled by Mr. R. E, Bennett, clerk to the Miramar Borough Council, been criticised with some show of reason, but, he says, the necessity for guarding against too close cettlement until some drainage scheme is adopted outweighs any objection to the restriction. The Wellington Benevolent Trustees met yesterday afternoon, the Rev. J. K. Elliott presiding. Mr. A. Cook was appointed an attendant at ' the Ohiro Homo. Soveral applications for rations were received, and relief was granted in cases which were considered deserving. The number of council meetings held by the Miramar Borough Council from the date of its constitution to 31st March, 1906, was 29 ordinary and 11 special, making a total of 40. The Mayor attended 10, Councillor Brodie 31, Councillor Crawford 12, Councillor M'Grath 36, Councillor Richards 34, Councillor Wardell 37, and Councillor Witt 40 meetings. There is a small boy in Wellington who is the envy of his contemporaries. Little fellows cluster about him, and covet his lot, which is an ice-cream barrow, rough and ready paraphernalia. Tho juvenile tradesman has the lordly air of a person superior to the charms of sweets, though aware that they can trap the youngsters' pennies. The rising generation gathers around the budding merchant, and thinks to soften his young bosom with soft pleading eyes, but nothing short of hard coin will make the 'dealer ladlo out his wares.
