A Mail fob. Melbourne will be made up at the Bluff at 11.30 this forenoon. Messrs Rootledge, Kennedy & Co., will sell, this day, at the Meanee sale yards, 150 head of cattle &c. Mr. Lyndon will sell to-morrow (Saturday), at his mart, a quantity of saddler/, drapery, &c. Ladies' Bath. — A day or two ago we had an opportunity of inspecting a very tastefully fitted up bath-room, intended for the use of ladies, which Mr. M 'Murray has just added to his establishment at Tareha's Bridge. The dressing-room was originally the deck cabin of the Star of the South, and has been adapted to its present purpose with much taste and ingenuity — the ornamental panneling and luxurious spfas having been carefully preserved. The plunge bath is supplied by a never-failing stream from the Artesian well, and the cistern of the shower bath is filled from the same source. The water stands, winter and summer', at one temperature — that of 60 ° fahrenheit — and the limpid body of cool water contained in the plunge bath, with all the comfortable surroundings, presents irresistible attractions, especially in weather so very hot as that we are now experiencing. The Mail Steamer Question. — A preliminary meeting was held yesterday, to concert measures for calling a public meeting to represent to the Gentral Government the gross injustice implied in Napier being wholly ignored under the new contract. It will be seen from advertisement thstj'the meeting has been called for Tuesday next. Impudent Forgery. — Many of our vea,^ dors are already aware that a letter which appeared in last Herald, purporting to be written by Mr. J. K. Goudy, proves to have been a forgery. The letter in question was dropped into the letter box late on Monday ; and, in the huvry prevalent, on publication eve, was placed in the hands of the printer without that careful perusal which would doubtless have led to the detection of the imposture. The concoction of this epistle was doubtless intended as a practical joke, but, should the efforts now being made to discover the perpetrator prove sue-< csssful — which we hope they may—the / consequences may be more serious than he ,;y anticipated. We exceedingly regret? thatiTjfour columns should have been . madQ-'j&j||m medium of causing Mr. Goudy: the -a^^^S ance which the in&ertion of so>^illyja^^^^^ can hardjy have failed to do. 4^^^^^K
