As it should be, It will be seen by advertisement' that a meeting is caJ'ed for this evening of those interested in_ the formation of a rowing club, There is no more healthy exeroise than rowing, and hona which is equally calculated to bring out the innate pluek of our young men. In addition if a young fellow wants to exhibit prowess with the oar he must avoid the small and injurious sins to which those of his age are prone. Let us have the rowing club by al 1 means. We a*e believers in muscular Christianity.

The Warden gave his decision yesterday morning in the c'aße of W. Laurie v, Emily Riohards for the transfer of a share In the Ostrich claim, vVaiomo.

It may be. aingulur but it is nevertheless true that the Railway Department never seems to give satisfaction to those who are brought in contact with it. This time we learn by telegram that the new regulation for carrying grain from up couutry to the port of shipment in Canterbury are most unsatisfactory to the farmers, and they state amounts to an addition ot' teu percent. This is surely short sighted policy, the margiu of profit is very small on shipments, and the addition of 10 per cent on cost is likely to turn the scale against the producer. These evils must continue until the Government the fact that a profit of railway carriage of £1 may lead to an indirect loss to the country of ten, The railwaye were built with the object of promoting settlement, not that per se they should yield a profit, If the two can be combined so muoh the beater, but if not, then the direct profit must be foregone.

As we have all along predicted; the great Melbourne bubble is showing a tendency to , burst, The mania of speculation has been so acute that it was nt difficult for the homeopathists, in the sht e of bankers and skilled financiers,; to biii * the disease to a point, which is shortly .to kill the weaker of their patients—the speculators, When, the patients are dead, these doctors will step in and secure their property at very muoh their own prices, and as a natural sequitur will be tue only men who will come out eventually wfr'i a profit. So have always the strong played upon the credulity of the weak, and so it will be to the end of time. The genus monse, although millions of its progenitors have perished from searching for cheese in dangerous places, still continues to seek and to perish. But there is some excuse for the mouse, his history has not been written, On the contrary, there is none for the cajoled speculator, who has been deceived by the same tricks and the same falsities, which writers and events innumerable have exposed for his benefit. A man who is blind is to be pitied, but. a man who will not see when his eyes are open, or is too lazy to open them, is entitled to little pity from sersible people, and gets le&s, When will peiple, such as the Melbourne speculators, le.m that there is a limit to the value of everything, and that limit as regards landed property is fixed by the price that is to be immediately secured by its utilization, Wo.do not mean to say that a man should not to a certain extent discount the future, for that would be to damp energy and prevent progress,

At the Police Court yestarday morning James Fry alias Adolphu's Gloor brought before Mr H , W, Northcroffc, R.M., charged with (1) having been drunk in Pollen Street on the 21st instant (2) using obscene language to females in Mr Pike's drapery establishment in Shortland (3) soliciting alms, and (4) resisting the police : u the execution of their duty.

In various parts of China f'lere is a, belief that the souk of very atrocious criminals who have cither bean executed or died in prison are sent hack from Hades, by Yeolo, the judge there, to undergo a further term of imprisonment, one death not being enough to expiate their crimes When the second term of imprisonment is judged to have expired, thei district iragistrato beseeches the tutelary deity of the city to accompany him. to the prison in order to acquaint the. ghost with his relase. The order-is supposed to reach th j imprisoned by burning it, a ceremony which is solemnly carried out in the goal. On August 19 last the district magistrate of the city of Sooahow had placards posted up inviting subscriptions of imitation money for the ghost< then in the city goal, This was all duly burnt, and thus converted into currency, which would be useful to the ghosts on the long journey before them,
