A retina was called by the people of Victoria, on Monday evening last, to ascer- tain the feeling of the people of that dis- trict on the subject of temperance. A pub- lican applied for a license, and the vote of the meeting was thirty ,against six for the granting of license. So much for the great work of temperance.—S. J.

Dan CALLAGHAN was the only appear- ance at the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court this morning. He was arraigned for steal- ing apples from John Ferguson. Dan has the name of being a habitual petty thief, but to lessen that charge it was said he never took anything out of his reach. For the above offence he was sent up for one month.

| «UONFLICTING RUMORS.
[By Telegraph to Reading Room and Daily Examiner J
There is a rumor that the Russian Gener- sl Stankoff has been ordered to reach the Dardanelles as soon as possible. He has twenty-four guns and a lot of torpedoes.
A large number of Turkish men-of- war have been ordered to Gallipoli at once.
It is now reported that peace is assured, the Russian terms having been com- municated to England, orders have been given for the fleet to stop a month at the Dardanelles. But de- spite these rumors, preparations are actively going on for the @fence of the lines around Constantinople, and 60,000 men are now
available.

To the Editor of the Examiner :
Str,—A decision lately arrived at by our worthy Stipendiary Magistrate seems to me to be of considerable interest to the travelling public. ‘The case in which the referred to de- cision was given was one in which some per- sons, quietly driving along in an ordinary box- | sleigh, were run into by a large load of brush, which monopolized the whole of the road, nearly swept the occupants of the sleigh out of their seats, and broke one of the runners. The worthy Magistrate ruled that, inasmuch as the lriver of the box-sleigh had been so indiscreet 1s to touch the horse drawing the heavy load m the neck, so as to make it turn off slightly, ind thus had escaped the total demolition of his sleigh, he had taken the law into his own hands, and could not expect to obtain any re- iress. This decision was, however, qualified by the worthy Magistrate ; for, he said, that in a case where the driver of asleigh was sound wleep, he would not go so far as to say that it would be illegal to touch his horse in a friendly way on the neck. The poorer classes, | am sorry to say, have few amusements; but I lon't think that truckmen and others, who lraw heavy loads, can be too grateful to Mr. Fitzgerald for suggesting such an_ inex- pensive and pleasant pastime as that of sweeping all sleighs that they may. have the gratification to meet with from the public roads. It may be suggested that che identification of those who indulge in this pleasant pastime is easy, and that there can be ao doubt as to redress being obtainable.
I would simply ask how the driver of a sl.igh, when lett standing disconsolate amidst .ts ruins, is to identify the scoundrel who, well hid by his towering load, gallops off to escape detection ?
It might also suggest itself to the worthy Magistrate, that the travelling public, and es- pecially strangers who have had the misfor- tune to come to this well-governed Isle, can nardly be expected to he intimately acquainted with the features of every_ruffian ofthe class so highly favoured. ‘
