Last Wednesday night a large steamer stood off and on at the entrance to the Bluff Harbour for some hours. When day broke on Thursday she was not in sight. It is surmised that the vessel was the Admiralty cruiser Coptic on her round. No communication was held with her. Another large steamer, answering to the description ef the s.s. Aiawa, from London, was seen on Thursday morning in the straits. After lying-to for a short time she resumed her journey to the eastward.

Two members of the police force entered a suburban hotel last Sunday evening (says the Dunedin Star) to ascertain how the provisions of the Licensing Act were being attended to.

Mr Cameron has Just turned out, in a very superior manner, a very handsome embellished and written tradesman’s cart for Mr Maxtou, Mr Maxtou submitted the pattern from a memory idea of some vehicles of the same description he saw upon his recent visit to Sydney, and Mr Cameron has faithfully carried out the verbally given order, indeed to such an extent as to have even in Mr Maxton’s idea considerably improved upon the Sydney ntyle indeed we must confess that the work cannot easily be surpassed. The color of the body is red, and the under carriage a delicate cream color. Among the other novelties in the American Carriage Factory, is what is called a piano box buggy, so light and easy to propel, that the happy steed that would be attached to it would imagine that he was proceeding some fairy-like or mythical chariot ; but although so apparently slim and frail, Mr Cameron assnras us that from the very superior strength and adaptitude of the timber and other material used in the construction, a deal of fair wear and tear would be necessitated to disarrange the almost clocklike and well appointed portions of the “ little wonder,” the handsome, delicate and neat picking out, and blending of colors has, under the hands of Mr Chisholm, (a most expert carriage painter) made this vehicle a treat to behold. Mr Cameron has also just finished a splendid sample of a milk cart for Mr W. Udy, the color of the body is Naples yellow, indeed about ns yellow as milk, {if that can be called yellow), but a most suitable color for the pur pose. The driver rides in a special compartment behind and the contrivance is both light and elaborate. Upon this establishment also can be seen double and single seated buggies, sociables, expresses, spring carts, and vehicles of all descriptions, and all m their several lines finished in a most workmanlike manner.

As the down-train from Masterton, on Saturday afterneon last, reached Booth’s Grossing, above Carterton, a calf which had strayed on the line was struck by the cowcatcher and killed.
