Captain Edwin telegraphed at 12.40 p.m. to-day: — " West to south and south-east gale, with heavy sea and very cold weather. Glass rise soon, and likely to rise very high." To-morrow Mr Newton King will hold a sale of second-class timber, at his yard on the reclaimed land. Anyone in want of a cheap piano will do well to attend at Mr Newton King's mart to-morrow afternoon, when the piano in 11. Capel's bankrupt estate will be sold without reserve by order of the Deputy Oilicial Assignee. In the Wcsleyun schoolroom on Wednesday night a tea, followed by an enter tainment.was hold, to welcome Rev. P. W. Fairclough, the newly appointed minister, and his wife to this district. A very large number of persons sat down to tea, it being estimated that there were fully 200. After tea the entertainment was given, and an hour and a-half was pleasantly spent by all present. During the hearing of the sheep stealing case this (Friday) morning, the Court was interrupted by the crier, who ejaculated, with much concern, " Your Honor, a juryman wishes to retire." The juryman in question rose up and looked with appealing eyes at His Honor, who granted the request ; and then this particular part of "the bulwarks of British freedom" and the crier formed a procession downstairs. They were absent about ten minutes, and on their re appearance business was proceeded with. The paragraph we published the other day showing what a difference a slight alteration of a word makes in a sentence, and giving instances where, in a telegraphic message, several papers had printed it differently, we took from the Oamaru Mail, and accidentally omitted to credit that paper witli it. We intended to have added to the paragraph that we left the word " Jones " out, not seeing that he had anything to do with the subject. Wo now learn from the telegraphist that he is in the habit of putting a tail to his " z's," hence the mistake. There is great room for improvement in the accommodation provided for Supreme Court jurors who have the misfortune to be unable to agree upon a verdict, and have to be locked up for any length of time. The room in which the jury were incarcerated for over six hours last Thursday is over the Union Steamship Co's office. It is used partly as a lumber room for some old ironmongery stock, and its dimensions are about fourteen feet square and ten feet high, with no ventilation beyond what is afforded by the window, which will open only at the bottom. The furniture consists of a long table, two benches, and two chairs, besides the aforesaid ironmonger's stock, which comprises quantities of fry-ing-pans, boilers, kettles, and lamp wicks. Truly a dismal hole for " twelve good men and true" to be closely shut in for several hours. And this is the place where the jurors who hoard the watch larceny case would have had to pass the night, had not the Judge taken compassion on them and allowed them (to remain in the Courthouse, where they had at least breathing space. The whole aicommolation oC the Court-house is very limited, but the unfortunate jurors are tlmiiiojt to bo pitied, and it is quite time that something was done to improve matters. Just to hand, a choice assortment of plush jacket, bordered dress goods, new millinery, flowers, ribbons, &c. Diroct imported ex Tainui and Kaikoura, at F. A. Ford's, Cheapside House. — Advt. Oh !
