The Sau Francisco mail will close at Hamilton on Friday next, tho 23rd inst., and will he duo in London on the 22nd July. Money orders for despatch by this mail should be obtained by 1.30 p.m. and letters registered by 5 p.m. on Thursday. A few minutes before going to press we inspected the box plan of “Sweet Nell” for Monday night, and find that a great number of seats have been already booked, hut, thanks to the now Town Hall, there are any number of good seats yet available, both in the stalls and circle.

There was on exhibition at Mr Chileott’s shop, Hamilton, this morning a splendid carcase of four-tooth wether mutton, which weighed dressed 1101b. The sheen was fattened on the Lausdowne Estate, Walton, and was one of a splendid line sold at the N.Z. Loan and Mercantile Agency Co.’s last Hamilton sale.

A ball given by tho bachelors of Whatawhata was held in the Public Hall last Thursday evening, The music was supplied by Mr Percy Meredith, of Auckland; this, no doubt, accounted for the large attendance, for, despite the inclement weather, the hall was well filled. Great credit is due to the committee for the way everything was carried out. The catering was in the capable hands of Mr J. Bettley, of Hamilton. The floor was in good order and dancing was kept up till the early hours, when everyone went homo satisfied with their night’s recreation. At the Auckland Police Court yesterday Mr Kettle, S.M., talked very plainly to a wife-heater. A man named Carthy pleaded that it was only a slight quarrel and he was drunk. Mr Kettle told him ho had treated his wife most brutally, and be intended to put down such assaults with a strong hand. In this ease tho difficulty was to punish him, as tho punishment would fall still harder on his family, As it was tho first time, ho would be convicted and prohibited for twelve months, hut if he came up again for the sanm thing ho would get no mercy. Mr Stanley Foss, of Raglan, and Mrs Young, late of Raglan, were united in the bonds of matrimony at Auckland a few days since, and are now honeymooning at To Aroha.
