Desxepin, N. Z., Sept. 6th, 1867.

five of which are in the South and four in the
North Island. Stewart's Island to. the south

owing to its comparative insignificance. Hence |
L speak only of two Islands. These Islands
are at present but thinly peopled by about |
200,000 Europeans— and may well be describe!
as an energetic, intelligent and sarring popu-|
lation. In each Province there is an approach |
tu a Municipal Government, with 2 Superinten- |
|
Provineial Council. The General |
dent and
Leyisiature meets at Wellington annually, and |
consists of the ordinary twu Houses—the Low- |
consists of some seventy Representatives.

The climate ean searcely be equatied for sahub

since the discovery a few years ago. The sou)
in some of the valleys is amazingly rich, the |
wheat growing to six feet in height in some |
parts, and ofthe finest quaity—the plains me
generally very fertile and produce all the on
dinary yraing in abundance. The country |
abounds in sprinys and streams of water—there |
is no winter to require the enclosing oft cattle |
in stables; the grass is green all the year round, |
land many treea never drop their foliage. In|
each Island there are two rival cities, Auckland |
in the north, Dunedin in the south, Before the |

in advance of Dunedin, but since that time
Dunedin has far outstripped her sister city in
the north.ifa stranger can credit the statements
reiterated. Leaving Auckland to
stand on its merits we take a cursory survey of
Dunedin, pronounced as it spelled Dunn-eedin
with the accent on the eof “ edin.”’ In regard
to its site and the arrangement and allocation |
of its streets, it is certainly peculiar and anlike |
any city in British America. It is built at the
base, on the slopes, and crowning the summits |

THE ALLEGED POISONING CASE. |
Nearly three weeks azo, a child
Rosina Collins, in Barrack street, died suddenly, |
band the attending physician expressed the |
opinion its death had been oceasioned by some |
ivritaut poision, Upon enquiry being made, |
the mother stated that on the evening previous |
she had applied at the drug store of Dr. |}
Sutherland, in Hollis street, for some sulphur |
and cream of tartar, and obtained a package, |
as she supposed, of each, a portion of W hich she

administered to the deceased.
succeeding the death of the child, an inquest
on the body was commenced by Coroner Jenn
mss, who, atter hearing the evidence of the
,| mother, and that ofa Mrs. Chambers (who cor- | because of the recent
roborated ber as to having obtained the medi-
cine at Dr. Sutherland's store), adjourned the |
enquiry two weeks, in order to atford time to |
obtain a chemical analysis of the contents of |
the stomach. On Monday the adjourned in-|
quest was resumed, whereupon Professor Law- |
analysis, testitied to having found certain |
poisonous substances in the coutents of the}
stomach. The enquiry was further adjourned
until yesterday, when it was rasumed and
brought toa termination. Dr. Sutherland and
his assistant both testified that on the evening the
| women alleged that they had asked for cream
of tartar and sulphur, they sold no such article
to any person, and that neither Mrs. Collins or |
Mrs. Chambers were in the drug store.
Mr. Adam McKay, proprietor of the Dart-|
mouth Boiler works, testitied that on the even-
ing in question, he was in Dr. Sutherland’s
store from 8 o'clock until nearly half past 10,
and that he saw no woman enter the shop dur-
ing that time, and was quite confident that they
could not have entered without his knowledze.
The women allege that it was about 9 o’clock |
in the evening when they called for the medi-
cine.

It seems as thongh suddenly Mr. King finds

We are not fully acquainted with all the ins
and outs of these financial movements, but it
seems to us, taking a broad view of the case,
and speaking generally, that the Bank of
Montreal, under Mr. King’s management, has
taken the lead of the other banks, and aspires
to the first place in the Dominion, —that
much of the out-cry against the Bank and tts
manager may fairly be put down to jealousy
on the part of the other banks, and to annoy-
ance on ithe part of the management and
shareholders of the Commercial Bank, who,
nerhaps, think the Montreal Bok might have
sraimed a point and saved many of them «
good many dollars. There is also to be taken
into account that Mr. King, in bis zeal for
the cause of the Directors of the Bunk of)
Montreal, may have over-stepped the mark to
some extent. We should judge from the wul-
tiplicity of the charges brought against
hum, that there was an evident determina-

RXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM

NEW
the Rev. George Sutherland to the Presiy:|

Desxepin, N. Z., Sept. 6th, 1867.
New Zealand preaents a Confederation ou n|

five of which are in the South and four in the
North Island. Stewart's Island to. the south

owing to its comparative insignificance. Hence |
L speak only of two Islands. These Islands
are at present but thinly peopled by about |
200,000 Europeans— and may well be describe!
as an energetic, intelligent and sarring popu-|
lation. In each Province there is an approach |
tu a Municipal Government, with 2 Superinten- |
|
Provineial Council. The General |
dent and
Leyisiature meets at Wellington annually, and |
consists of the ordinary twu Houses—the Low- |
consists of some seventy Representatives.

The climate ean searcely be equatied for sahub

QU sterling of gold was exported last year— |
since the discovery a few years ago. The sou)
in some of the valleys is amazingly rich, the |
wheat growing to six feet in height in some |
parts, and ofthe finest quaity—the plains me
generally very fertile and produce all the on
dinary yraing in abundance. The country |
abounds in sprinys and streams of water—there |
is no winter to require the enclosing oft cattle |
in stables; the grass is green all the year round, |
land many treea never drop their foliage. In|
each Island there are two rival cities, Auckland |
in the north, Dunedin in the south, Before the |
i discovery of gold in Otazo, Auckland was fat
in advance of Dunedin, but since that time
Dunedin has far outstripped her sister city in
the north.ifa stranger can credit the statements
reiterated. Leaving Auckland to
stand on its merits we take a cursory survey of
Dunedin, pronounced as it spelled Dunn-eedin
with the accent on the eof “ edin.”’ In regard
to its site and the arrangement and allocation |
of its streets, it is certainly peculiar and anlike |
any city in British America. It is built at the
base, on the slopes, and crowning the summits |

the mother stated that on the evening previous |

administered to the deceased.
succeeding the death of the child, an inquest
on the body was commenced by Coroner Jenn
mss, who, atter hearing the evidence of the
,| mother, and that ofa Mrs. Chambers (who cor- | because of the recent
roborated ber as to having obtained the medi-
cine at Dr. Sutherland's store), adjourned the |
enquiry two weeks, in order to atford time to |
obtain a chemical analysis of the contents of |
the stomach. On Monday the adjourned in-|
quest was resumed, whereupon Professor Law- |
analysis, testitied to having found certain |
poisonous substances in the coutents of the}
stomach. The enquiry was further adjourned
until yesterday, when it was rasumed and
brought toa termination. Dr. Sutherland and
his assistant both testified that on the evening the
| women alleged that they had asked for cream
of tartar and sulphur, they sold no such article
to any person, and that neither Mrs. Collins or |
Mrs. Chambers were in the drug store.
Mr. Adam McKay, proprietor of the Dart-|
mouth Boiler works, testitied that on the even-
ing in question, he was in Dr. Sutherland’s
store from 8 o'clock until nearly half past 10,
and that he saw no woman enter the shop dur-
ing that time, and was quite confident that they
could not have entered without his knowledze.
The women allege that it was about 9 o’clock |
in the evening when they called for the medi-
cine.

It seems as thongh suddenly Mr. King finds

We are not fully acquainted with all the ins
and outs of these financial movements, but it
seems to us, taking a broad view of the case,
and speaking generally, that the Bank of
Montreal, under Mr. King’s management, has
taken the lead of the other banks, and aspires
to the first place in the Dominion, —that
much of the out-cry against the Bank and tts
manager may fairly be put down to jealousy
on the part of the other banks, and to annoy-
ance on ithe part of the management and
shareholders of the Commercial Bank, who,
nerhaps, think the Montreal Bok might have
sraimed a point and saved many of them «
good many dollars. There is also to be taken
into account that Mr. King, in bis zeal for
the cause of the Directors of the Bunk of)
Montreal, may have over-stepped the mark to
some extent. We should judge from the wul-
tiplicity of the charges brought against
hum, that there was an evident determina-
tion to get him out of his position, and the
Bank of Mentreal out of its present pysition |
as agent for the Dominion Government.
