Mr John Crooks Jones, of Port. Chalmers, having proved to the satisfaction of the Resident Magistrate that he is duly qualified to practise as a Surgeon and Apothecary, is by the declaration of Thomas A. Mansford, Esq., Resident Magistrate at. Port Chalmers, which is published in the Provincial Government Gazette, entitled to exorcise his profession. The same Gazette also notifies that Mr James Shirlaw. of Dunedin, is a duly qualified Doctor of Medicine of the University of Glasgow. We believe Mr Barr, the Chief Postmaster, has accepted the tenders of Mr Wm. Bell, Dunedin,, for tho conveyance of mails overland between Dunedin and Port Chalmers. The mail is intended to leave Dunedin twice a-day—in tho morning and in the afternoon; and from Port Chalmers, also, twice.—at midday, and in the evening but the hours have not yet been definitely fixed upen. . . .
