Kiwi a i.k 1 v nig ratio:'; —We perceive tliat'oiir Wellington fellow-colonists whose oi»li»t>isiii<r notions on seme points are not unworthy of imitation, are about to introduce a limited number of females from llie United Kingdom, tinder 1 lie supervision of Miss I've. "\Vu do not j altogether approve of th.e wholesale system of introducing young women in large batches into any Province, however disproportionate the sexes may be there in number the one to the other.— but we think that facilities should be afforded, either by assisted passages or otherwise, by which respectable young women of the class of female servant s coining out. under tiie pro- - tecli'iu of'a family may be induced to immigrate in each passenger vessel, not more than 'tea of twelve sueli passages being granted in any one ship. Pv this means the demand for the services of female servants would be Icepf supplied without, at tlie same time. glutting the market and eausin<r the evils which usually follow such a course. It must be borne in mind that the disproportion ofthe sexes has been greatly increased by the introduction ofthe Volunteer Militia—■ the greater number of whom are single men; | and who. as they become comlorfalily settled on j their farms, will r< quire helpmates. It may | suit a certain political parly lo say that not one i man in ten will settle 011 his land, but those persons quite forget that for three years he must do so. or become a deserier. Put one year of the I three year's service has expired—and with sucli j land as has been alloted to the Waikato men. it 1 is havdlv likely that any offhcni after two year's I residence would care fo leave their farms, for in two years time, witli common industry, such good land as has been provided for them will I htive become self-supporting. ! A y i:w Fact.—A correspondent of the Age i draws attention to a fact that will be new to ! ninety-nine readers out of every hundred. In i the Pritish J liarmai-opa. ja lately published.. tiie J tise of apothecaries' weight is abolished, j Avoirdupois weight is now the standard for j physic : and the familiar drachm and scruple, which have been a perfect mine to punsters for • tin.' last hundred years, will be heard of no more. 'Llie British Pharmacol :eia is issued under the authority ofthe colleges of London, Edinburgh, and Dublin, in place ofthe separate publications liithei fo issued for each division of (lie United Kingdom. Other charges besides the standard of w eight have been made in the new manual. The names ot'some drills are altered, and the slrei uth of most preparations increased, so that, ail branches of t lie medical profession w ill have to go to school again in order to keep abreast with the a<_re. CoNsr.Si i'tion or Co.w,.—The following statistical returns will doubtless prove interesting to some of our readers : —At the last sitting of (he Academic des Sciences Morales et Politiques M.

During the four following years there was a ct:nsiderable diminution, the extraction in France being reduced to •!■.(.'00,000 tons, and the importation to iMiHCI.P tons.

At the commencement of the present century England produced 10.1K H 1.1 ;t)(> tons: in IS>S the quantity rose to I'll.uiHl.lild) tons, and in IMJ2 to Bl.otii>.l»ill tons.

With the share of the loan which falls to that Province, a large population is about to be introduced, and the country opened up by highways, which may afterwards, if thought advisable, be converted into tramways or railroads, (.hie of these roads will connect Mapicr and Wellington, 200 miles distant front e.icli other ; grand trunk roads in other parts of the Province wiii ai>o open up the interior. The following extract from the speech of the Superintendent, l)r. l-'oatherstonc. at the opening of the Provincial Council at A\ ellington, will give some idea of the pians intended: —"It is proposed lhat lines should mainly be constructed by immigrants to be introduced, under the provisions of tiie Loan Appropriation Act, upon the same .system as was so successlully adopted in the "Wairarapa —that ample reserves, divided into sections of a reasonable size, be made in each district through w hicli a. road is being made, upon which the immigrants would be located with the option ot purchasing their allotmants at the upset price at any time during the progress of the work, and with permission being permitted to work as many days
