Detective Sergt. M'llveney and Detective Bailey to-day arrested a middleaged man named James Connolly, who will be charged in the Magistrate's Court to-morrow with conspiring with Robert,, Hall to defraud- T. A. M'Dbwell of a sum of money at HandwTck, N.S.W., in October la'st. Some slight adjustments in the new tramway time-table will probably be made as experience with ite working warrants. For instance, it is understood there has been a, drop in receipts from the Aro-street-Thorrtdon-quay line, and the question of giving a more frequent service in the rush hours will be taken into consideration. The special lunch-hour frequency on some.lines has not apparently justified the concessions made by the Department, and a return to something like' the old conditions at this particular time of the day is not beyond'the range, of probability. The problem of tram time-tables is, however, extremely ( complicated, and experience, alone can show in what particular directions alterations are advisable.

Word received from the Telegraph. Office at 1.30 p.m. to-day states that all messages for Auckland will show over two hours' delay. This is the result of the general bad weather along the line. There is _no break in communication, and the disturbance is purely sectional. Fifty years ago last Sunday—l9th November—in the early hours of the morning, the ship Bla<ik Eagle arrived in Auckland harbour with • 144 settlers from Great Britain. Of those who arrived by the Black Eagle, the following (says the New Zealand Herald) are still living:—Messrs. Edward and John Allen, of Cheltenham (of the same family as that at Allendale, Mount Albert); Mrs. R. E, Hooper and Mrs. J. N. Pegler; Messrs. Henry and Charles Seon; Mr. James Howden, of Queen-street; Mr. E. C. Carr, Swanson-street; Mr. Walter Stimpson, Hobson-street; Mrs. E. Taylor, Mr. Alfred Alexander, Mr. Adam. Fort and two sisters, Mi*. Alexander Watson, Mr. Solomon Hart, Ponsonby; Mr. Watson, Pukekohe; Mr. .Liugh Wylie, Pukekohe; Mrs. Kennedy, Mount Eden; Mr. Allan Willis, Onehunga; Messrs. Bobert, James, and Joseph Wall, Hawkes Bay; Mr. Wm. Wall, Penrose.

At last week's meeting of the Southland Acclimatisation Society, it was resolved to approach the Prime Minister with a -view to soliciting his assistance in removing the restrictions at. present existing against shooting in the National Park for any purpose but the shooting of malforms. It was stated that the deer in some parts of Otago were now plentiful, and a-'nuisance to settlers. It was argued that deerstalkers did operate with small-bore rifles, and there was little danger of their shooting birds. It will not be very long before the Charlotte-street loop tramway is put into operation. Alterations in the road surface have to be made, and adjustments at the junctions before the line can be opened. ' The overhead gear is being installed, and an automatic points controller will operate the junction at Lambton-quay. These ingenious devices for saving the conductor the trouble of operating the switch by hand are now placed at several important junctions ui the city, and have been perfectly satisfactory. "Boosting Gisborue" is justified, according to the local Herald, by the statistics of the port, the post and telegraph receipts, the land valuations, export and" import (eturns, Cn3tom& collections, money order and savings bank deposits, agricultural and. pastoral progress, and the circulation of the leading newspaper. The Customs receipts are an excellent indication of the growth of prosperity and the spread of settlement. The returns for the last ten years have steadily advanced, Gisborne's figures being £2t)6,003, against £203,057 for Timaru, £190,696 for l Taranaki, and £173.886 for. Nelson..
