The nominations will take place on Tuesday, July 15 ; and the pollings on Monday, July 21. The new Parliament will meet on Wednesday, August 5. On Friday evening Mr. A. Catchpool's stack of straw at Woodend, Chnstchurch was burnt. It is supposed to have been wilfully done m consequence of the refusal of the Royal Hotel license, Mr. Catcbpool being a member of tbe Mandeville Licensing Committee. The value of the property was £10. At the meeting of Auckland Licensed Victuallers' Association the following resolution was carried unanimously :: — '• That in the opinion of this meeting the action of the Licencing Commissioners of the city is deserving of censure, inasmuch a» they manifested a spirit of bitterness towards many persons in the trade, which warrants the conclusion that a radical change in the Act and its amendment are absolutely necessary. That the diaft copy of the bill transmitted from the Otago Association meets with entire approval of thi Auckland Licensed Victualler's Assiciation, and that it will use every exertion to have the Act amended in that direction." A resolution was passed commending the impartiality of Inspector Thomson. It is considered probable- tbat Cleveland, Governor of New York State, will receive the Democratic vote at the approaching Presidential election
