Local Intelligence.

Drill. — Yesterday was the last day of the se- , cond series of drill for the Militia and Volunteers of Napier. The three companies marched past in slow and quick time, and went through several evolutions in a very creditable manner. A troop of the Defence Force was also on the ground, and executed several cavalry manoeuvres. The number of spectators was considerable. Pleuro-Pneumonia. — We believe that> consequent upon the intelligence received, by last mail from the South of this disease having broken out, it is the intention of the Superintendent to issue a proclamation prohibiting or restricting the importation of cattle into this province. Contract Surveys.— We learn that the contract for surveying the land intended for the location of the first company of military settlers has been taken by Mr. Bousfield. Athen-Ssum.— lt will be seen from advertise* tnent that His Honor the Judge has kindly consented to give a reading for the benefit of this Institute, on Tuesday evening next.
