Scab. — It is reported in town that scab has broken out among the flocks on the Huangaroa run, recently sold to Hon. Mr. Waterhouse. — Independent, Feb. 13. New Mail Seevice. — Tenders have been invited by the Victorian Ministry for the performance of the contemplated mail service via the Cape of Good Hope. Bishop Jennee.— Dr. Jenner has addressed a letter to the Otago Daily Times, in which he says " that it is altogether a mistake to suppose that I have come to Dunedin with any idea of forcing myself on the Diocese as its Bishop. If it appears that the feelings of the Church in these provinces against me, is really what it is represented to be by my opponents, all I can say is, that nothing will bo easier than to get rid of me. But it is due to myself as well as to my numerous friends here, whose most kind and cordial welcome will never fade from my remembrance wherever the rest of my life may be passed — not too hastily to yield to the demands of those who are urging my immediate resignation of all pretensions to the new See. Allow me, in conclusion, to inform or remind your correspondents, that I am not here as Bishop of Dunedin. I have not assumed that title since I landed in New Zealand. It has, I may also observe, been my fixed intention, ever since my arrival, not to officiate in auy church in the colony until my position should be more clearly defined than it has been since the decision of the General Synod. By my signature below I simply claim the title assigned to me by the Boyal Mandate under which I was consecrated, — I am; &0., Heney Las.oelles Jennee, Bishop of the United Church of England and Ireland, in the Colony of New Zealand.
