LOCAL AND GENERAL

This afternoon we publish still later and more important English and Continental news than we were able to give m our issue of last evening. The distress at home, the very contemplation of which is fearful, is still further aggravated by so many thousands of men out on strike. Verily, one may well think that we have arrived at the beginning of the end of all things.

The Native Lands Court to be held at Makaraka, is fixed for the 10th April next, and as there are a great many cases down for hearing, it is expected to last for some considerable time.

TheR.M.S.B. City of New York, with the 'Frisco mail, arrived at Auckland yesterday. The mails for the South were despatched at once by the Taiaroa from the Manukau. Probably the Gisborne portion will arrive by the Rangatira, which is due here on Tuesday morning next.

Mr. J. P. Hydes takes his benefit this evening, when we have no doubt there will be a bumper house. "Our Boys" is the attraction reserved m store for this evening. The piece was played for over 2000 nights at one of the London theatres without any intermission, and is probably still being played. It is beyond all comparison the best comedy ever written ; at least it has run four times longer than any other representation placed upon either the English or American stage. The Hydes' present company have played this for many nfghts m succession to crowded houses, m various parts of the Colony, and Mr. Hyde's part of the Butterman is something so immensely — so awfully-comic, that to see him m the part is to hold him m memory evermore.

Messrs Leonard and Co., drapers and clothiers, Gladstone Road, addressing a notice, "To all whom it may concern," through our advertising columns, state, that they are now selling every article of drapery and* clothing m their establishment at under cost price. They invite the general public to pay a visit and- judge for themselves.

Members of the Licenced Victuallers 1 Association are requested to meet at the Masonic Hotel to-morrow afternoon, at 2.30 o'clock, on business of importance.

A most extraordinary sight was witnessed m Bead's paddocks this morning, at daylight. Very many acres of land were perfectly show white with mushrooms, which might have been easily gathered by the cart load. Our informant states there was not a square foot of ground m which mushrooms were not to be seen.

A general meeting of the members of the Turanganui Caledonian Club will be held at the Masonic Hotel, to-morrow evening, for the election of new members and other business.

Mr. Archard, formerly of the Britomart Hotel, Auckland, has, we observe, by our advertising columns, become mine host of the well-known Roseland Hotel. We trust that Mr. Archard will meet with all the success his most sanguine expectations may look for. Mrs. Archard, the amiable hostess, will be known and kindly remembered by the Auckland and Thames people, when we mention that she was a Miss Ratcliffe, for so long a time m charge of Mr. Perkins' Occidental bar.

The Her. Mr. Williams has not given up all hopes of his success, m inducing the children of the Government School, whose parents are members of his Church, to give their attendance. For three days m each week the rev. gentleman will impart religious instruction, commencing at a £ to 9 m the morning, and terminating at halfpast 9 o'clock. Mr. Williams earnestly requests parents will not neglect sending their children for so good an object.

Surgery and phyaic were represented m two arrivals by the Pretty Jaue this morning. Dr. Jackson comes an intending permanent resident m Gisborne, where he commences practice at once, having been appointed medical attendant to the Friendly Society of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Mr. Bishop will also remain permanently m our midst, carrying on business as a chemist and druggist m a large and handsome shop and dwelling m the Gladstone Road which has been built to his order.

There was no business at the R.M. Court this morning, criminal or civil. Gisborne lately has been on its best behaviour. The police have easy times of it, and the bailiff is quite open for a little work m hia particular line.

The liquidators m the estate of the New Zealand Steam Shipping Company invite tenders for the purchase of the following vessels : — S.S. Raugatira, 227 tons ; p.s. Manuwatu, 139 tons s.s. Stormbird 98 tons ; s.s. Jane Douglas. 95 tons ; and the coal hulk Europeans. Tenders will be received until the 24th instant.
