The sad news of the death of Her Majesty was received here with profound regret. The first public intimation was the tolling of the fire bell. Almost immediately the business people spontaneously closed their places, and tiage were run up hal f mast on the vessels in port. The volunteers assembled for their biweekly drill on Wednesday evening, and after calling the roll Captain Gray spoke of the loss to the uation of our Sovereign. The men presented arms and were dismissed.
The meeting of the Horticultural Society adjourned on Wednesday evening on account of tho sad news.
A number of alterations are being made in the s.s. Kanieri so as to better cope with the increasing passenger traffic. Captain Smith is a popular man, and will soon work up a good passenger trade; special accommodation is being made for lady passengers, a thing much needed. A working bee of the RiHes did good work at the range on Thursday.
