The editor of the Marlborough Express is an enthusiastic supporter of Sir Goorgo Grey, and claims for tho Premier a triumph for liis .management of native matters. Ho concludes a recent article as follows :—"ls also a subject for congratulation that local war and turmoil cannot now delay tho adoption of those Liberal and progressive measures so much desired by the Country, and that the minds of all honest and upright men .can bo directed without distraction to tho purification of local administration, and swooping oft" tlio Political stage the small fry of potty and corrupt performers of email parts, who civme into existence in the demoralising of past mis-government. Mrs, Baldwin, the clairvoyant as alio is styled, recently made a revelation about the Kollya. Hor husband, tho " ProfesI sor," put tho question to her, " What do you seel" to which she replied, " I scon ship sailng on tho open ocean, between Australia and San Francisco, on hoard of which are the Kellys, making their way to Texas, where they will meet many of their own description. Whereupon the Professor said, " What is the question 1" to which she answers, "It is, wh'ero are the Kollys." Another instance of her powers are given. Mrs Baldwin described that she seo3 a man who had been captain of the steamer Titania,. that his wife resided at Caveraliam, that his wife is jealous over some other woman, that he poisons his wife ; she (clairvoyant) next sees him in prison on his way to the scafibld, and that he is hung, giving the day and year. T1 lu Professor then says to her, " Y.'hat io the ideation ?" and her reply is, ' tan you toll us anything of Jarvey's can:.;r and execution i' Thereupon the question, as written by one of the audience, 13 forwarded from the dress circle to the stage, wilt) tho name of tho writer appended. Weave glad toleara, write.3 the Chronicle, that tho last English mail brought the announcement of Br W. L. Buller's election as a Fellow of the Boyal Society, This is justly regarded among scientific men as the true knightwood of science, inasmuch as it cannot be obtained through mere influence or favor. Only fifteen members aro elected evory year, out of

sometimes a hundred candidates, representing every department of soienco, the election being conducted by the Council of the Society, mid determined by ballot, after the merits and claims of tho respective candidates have been fully discussed and considered. What makes the honor tho more exceptional is that by tho rules of tho Society no candidate can either offer himself, or do anything, directly or indirectly, to promote his own election. Ho must, in the first instanco, bo proposed by six Follows, all of whom must certify to hie scientific Btanding, and qualifications. Ono of Dr Bullet's proposers was Darwin, whom he had novor soon, and another was Gould, tho celebrated ornithologist. Tho four others were Professor Flower, of tike Jtoyal Oollego of Surgeons, Professor Newtown, of Cambridge, Lord Waldeu, tho President of tho Zoological Society, and l>r Guntlior, of tho British Musoum. Tho recipient of such a distinction scarcely need* our congratulations ; but we cannot but express our satisfaction that Now Zealand can claim a third P.U.S., whereas all tho Australian group can boost of only two (Sis Georgo Vordon and Sir Frederick Mueller), a fact which speaks well for tho enterprise and scientific activity of this young colony.
