In the last number of the Review of Keviews, and in the Australian Herald will be found articles on Mr William Gay, the new Australian poet. His poems have had very favorable notice from the leading papers in England, Scotland, America, and the colonies, but the sad part of it is that the poet's life is ebbing away at Bendigo, Victoria, with little of that friendly help which might relieve poverty and sickness Mr Gay writes to a friend at the Thames telling of his sad condition, and hoping that some copies of his book may be sold. In this respect we would say:—Lot those who would honor the poet dead, help a little while he is still alive. Copies may. be ordered through Mr Chapman, Pollen street, Thames, at the small price of 2s and I 2s 6d.

. We must request our Theosophical and Spiritualistic friends to confine themselves to smaller space in future. There have been so many cries for "more light" on the questions under discussion that we have welcomed the present controversy as a public instructor, but when four or five correspondents demand a column each, we think it is time to cry " hold." Moreover, •' F. T. S." has expressed the opinion that the subject is too great and comprehensive to be dealt with in a newspaper article, and with evident regard to the maxim that "a little knowledge a dangerous thing," he recommends inquirers to read certain standard works if they are desirous,of further pursuing their investigations. Theosophy and Spiritualism have a perfect right to be publicly discussed, and we believe that as far as it has gone this discussion has done good, but for the future we would impress upon correspondents to cover more ground with less verbiage.

In the Magistrate's Court, Paeroa, ou Monday, Thomas Enwright was charged that on the 17th day of March, without, having a license, he did sell liquor at the Paeroa races. Mr Baurae, tor the defenco, pleaded guilty, and made a statement of the case, quoting from section 87 of the Justices of the Peace Act, showing that there was no concealment, that the offence was of a technical nature, and argued that in this the section should nob apply. The Magistrate said ho would not ba justified in d's-mi-sing the case, but he would inflict a nominal fine to attract the attention o' other pub icans that the matter must be attended to.
