Maori Nobility.— A correspondent of the New Zealand Advertiser^ writing to that journal, says : — If your list of the Maori nobility is not yet filled up, might I ask you to add the following: — Arama Karaka, under the title of Lord Namu. Creßt— a steamer on a reef of roots, with the Maori King flag at the peak, and the English ensign underneath. Motto— " Britain may rule the waves, but she does not rale at the Namu." — Wi Kingi, under the title of Baron Matakatea. Crest — a stout personage (John Bull) leading a lion with a piece of phorium tenax, and paying tribute to one of the lords of the soil at the King's gate. Motto—" Base is the slave who pays." Tbtino the Effects of Medicine. — The late Mr. Morier related that an Oriental governor, who had seized an English traveller's medicine ohest, was puzzled what to make of it; so he collected all the Jews in the town, made each swallow the contents of a box or phial, and locked them together in a room till the effects were ascertained. — Edinburgh Sevieto.

To the Editor of the Bcutohe's Bay Herald.

Sib, — I beg to call your attention to the proceedings of the Eesident Magistrate's Court in the case Tiffen v. Fannin as being of peculiar interest to the Province, as it proves that one scabby sheep in a flock does not condemn the whole flock as has hitherto been believed, provided the diseased sheep belongs to another party. Yours, &c,

F. J. Tiffen.
