Nelson Museum. — Several specimens of sulphur are exhibited at the JNelson Museum, obtained from that singular volcanic island off the East Cape known as White Island, which, will probably prove a valuable property. Me. Timothy Gallagher.— -The Wellington correspondent of the Otago Daily Times thus describes the appearance and style of a member for Westland North while speaking on the Treason Felouy Bill :— " Mr. Timothy Gallagher followed in a style far more fitted for a digger's drinking crib than a chief House of Legislature. He talked about a man ' going in for a little bit of a burst,' about ' cbokee,' about ' 300 Fenians being any day as good as 600 loyalists— pretended loyalists when it came to a push,' and a great deal of similar stuff. Mr. Bell took him and others to task about stirring up the dh-ty waters of the past ; passed a well deserved laudation on the Ministry for what they had and bad not done during the Hokitika troubles, and told Mr. Gallagher and his friends that the loyal people of the colony required that the Government should be armed with the fullest powers necessary to preserve the quiet, peacerloving .colonists from the terror occasioned by such, persons as those who took ; parfc in the late illegal doings. Mr. Bell did it in his best style."
