Local Intelleligence.
The Dogs and Monkeys, if we are to judge from the audiences that are being nightly attracted to the pavilion, seem to be very general favorites, as they deservedly are. Indeed, whether most to admire the wonderful sagacity of the inferior animals, or the clever gymnastic feats of the supeior, seems to he a difficulty with many. The performance for to-night, it will be seen, is announced for the benefit of Mons. Klaer, whose claims the public will not be slow to recognise. On Thursday and Friday, this talented troupe is announced to appear at Waipureku. Mebical Wants of Napier. — Under this heading "Veritas" writes the "New Zealander" of 9th inst. — "You will confer a great boon upon the people of this district by giving publicity to this great fact, viz : — The want of a competent and attentive medical gentleman to practice amongst us. This is a want that has long and seriously been felt. It has been a matter of surprise to many, that our Superintendent should have remembered to advise the owners of cargo-boats in Auckland to remove hither, (the success of whom would be doubtful,) and have neglected to have endeavoured to supply a want so notoriously felt here, as a steady medical practitioner, the success of whom is not to be doubted." District Court. — Our attention has been directed to the somewhat strange wording of the advertisement by which the ensuing sitting of this Court is announced, — on the third Wednesday in January, or as soon as conveniently may be after. Surely it is not expected that the public are to dance attendance at the door of the Court day after day, while Mr. Hart, the chairman, as on a former memorable occasion, is rendering the public business subservient to his personal comfort and convenience. Presbyterian Church. — An excellent site for this intended edifice has been obtained on very liberal terms from H. S. Tiffen, Esq. "The building will occupy the spot upon which the house built by Mr. Harris now stands, and will, we trust, be at once a conspicuous object and an ornament to the town, to say nothing of its future utility. The Summary for England promised in our last, is, pending the receipt of some statistical information, unavoidably deferred. Promncial Council. — It is almost superfluous, we imagine, to remind our readers, that the Council will meet on Wednesday next, the 22nd inst., at one o'clock. Supreme Court. — By the " Wonga Wonga," several of the Snaresbrook's sea- . men were sent down to Wellington, as witnesses for the prosecution against the late captain and mate.
