The School Committee declined to send their chairman (DrDrysdale), who wrote stating that such meetings would. bo deemed seditious, and, as a Justice of the Peace,, he could not countenance such proceedings. Several unfavourable replies have been returned. The Arts Society was poorly] attended, but there were a large number of excellent exhibits. _ There is a movement oil foot to establish a free dispensary in connection with the societies.

Bivemon, Saturday. Per favour of the Western Star, The Mayor has replied to the Superintendent's circular asking him to attend the Convention at Dunedin that he (the Mayor) does not anticipate any evil results will arise through tho abolition of the province. In fact he treats with much satisfaction the coming into operation of the Act, which he believes v?ill prove a great benefit to the out districts and the province generally, and to the colony as a whole. He says 90 per cent, of tho ratepayers have tho same opinion on the question, as the administratipn under the Provincial system in this district has not.been conducive to the welfare of the residents. He therefore declines io attend a meeting which cannot be productive of any authoritative or practical result.

Again we hear of that audacious quack, Eosenthal. This, time he has levanted from Mauritius, leaving a number of poor dupes to curse their own folly and the deceiver's rascality. The Sentinel of Mauritius, jof September stb, says:—"The renowned Rosenthal after ','opening the eyes,', without in, the slightest degree curing the sight, of many unfortunate individuals, has at last 'out his stick,' spmewhat clandestinely. Unfortunately the dupes of this accomplished charlatan obstinately closed both eyos and ears to the repeated warnings given to to them in the Seniind, and now, impoverished in.'poekefc, they are left to bewail their losses and (alas! too late) to regret that sound advice was thrown away upon them, The question arises: how was this quack permitted to practice for nearly four months without a diploma? Who is the one authorised by Government to examine the diplomas of medical men when

they came into the colony and report to Government, if all is 'en regie?' Why, the chief medial officer. And how comes it tint the chief medical officer permitted such a man to swindle the public, to rob the poor, and deceive us al! 1 The .chief medical officer mnst have reported to Government that ho was sure that Mr Rosenthal was a duly qualified man, and that he had forgotten his diploma, and no doubt recommended him to practice for four months, pending the arrival of his diploma.' And did his diploma : arrive? Alas! poor J—d's! ! better that a millstone should be hung from his unfortunate neck, and that he should have been : cast info the deep, than to find himself the object of contempt, raillery,' and derision for tbo part he took in getting up the popular swindle. How can he ever again assume the .'respectability and. high morality' of tone which have so. eminently distinguished the thunderbolts: of Poudricre-sfcrcet ? Yea, even those which had the perfume of.Hcnnessys capsulo with the triple stars! He is silent. Silent as the tomb, respecting his 'co-religionist Even his inventive genius is at a loss to find a single word iu personal exculpation, and ifc is rumoured that the shock has been so groat to his nervous system that he contemplates ' making himself scarce' also, flow harrowing itmust be to the soul of the poor fellow .when he : lliiuka of words spoken with ref?renco to a : celebrated case: 'Dr Rosenthal has promised to sell his coat if ho does not euro,the,.. ~"; Wo are glad to find that the Governor has at; last brought the chief medical officer before' the Executive, and administered a reprimand which he properly deserved. The Wellington .dips says:—"A most disgraceful letter regarding Sir Julius Vogol appeared in a late number of the Duuedin Guardian, and was duly telegraphed to tbo' Auckland to." I A Chinaman in ludianopolis, who spoke all the English'he kaovy, was lined the othor day §10 for profanity, ' i
