Our Coromandel correspondent writes : — It has been blowing a very heavy gale from the south-east all day. Several verandahs and chimneys have been wrecked. While some larrikins were misconducting themselves in front of the Academy of Music, Melbourne, Police-constable Paice interfered, and attempted to effect an arrest. He was immediately attacked, and had his helmet and baton taken away .from him in a very short space of time. He was assisted by two other constables and the prisoner was arrested. Both prisoner and constable were taken to the hospital. | The Melbourne Daily Telegraph condemns the habit to which the young Australian is so inordinately addicted of making pastimes such as cricket, football, or rowing the serioos business of life, and of thrusting them into the very foreground of daily business.
