The Commissioner of Police is inspecting the police stations in Hawke’s Bay. Finley Wilson was brought before the local Bench, yesterday, on a charge of drunkenness. He was remanded to Napier for medical treatment. Auckland has secured for herself the retention of Captain Mair’s collection of Maori curios—the finest in New Zealand—which has been purchased for the Auckland Museum for £IOOO, and is thus a fixture in the colony. The last harvest in the South of Ireland is reported to be the best record during the last quarter of a century. The root crops were at one time in great jeopardy owing to the prevalence of the drought, but the weather broke just in time, and a Bteady downpour proved their salvation. Oats and barley are well up to the average; wheat is not a favourite crop, but where grown it has done well, and has harvested in firstclass coudition. The potato crop is also a satisfactory one, and for the first time in many years past there are no complaints of the existence of blight.
