ANOTHZA ROYAL Girl' Bvoorarso..—lt has been said
that Her Majesty has roads enquiries and finds that Port-

Caintwr.--Porifeed v. noseauen,•-The deciding genie
was played on Satunlay last between the Cricket Chili
and the Boscewen eleven. The hand was ill attendaucc.
Porthnil went first to the wickets, and mit together a
score of IMI 13111CANC11,1 followed, but they failed to
average two each, being ill.pompl of for They then
had to follow their innings, awl got better fortune,
. scoring ill. Thus the Portlatelers were winners by one
innings and 34 runs, and curiously enough, there was
time to have played the other innings, rather an unusual
thing in Portland matches, where, a correspondent says,
punctuality in heginning is nit toi rigidly adhered to.
Aces:le:re TO A CHILD.—On Saturday, when the late
Mr. Galpin died suddenly in Fortunes Well, a trap was
driven down rapidly for the sergeant of police. On turn-
ing Mr. Hodedoes corner, a little child named White,
about three years of age, ran across the road, and was
knocked down by the horse; but the driver, Carter,
pulled up quickly, and the trap did not go over the little
thing. Dr. McLean was in the cricket field, and he
having seen that it was only bruised, the child was taken
home wore frightened than hurt. Before this time the
report had spread that a person had dropped down in
Fortune's Well, and the public, coming to the conclusion
that the inanimate form had been brought in the trap to
the doctor, there was a general rush over the palings, so
that the little thing had plenty of sympathisers. Its
father Tett lost with all hands, a few years ago.
ACCIDENT TO CLERK lIINDL. —Mr. Charles ilinde,
familiarly known as "Clerk Wilde,- on Friday last met
with a painful accident in Ji Wide-street quarry. Ile was
superintending the hauling of rubble in one of the Stone
Company's quarries, and was just getting out of the
waggon, when his overall frock was caught in the iron
fastening of the tailboard, and Mr. liinde was thrown
on the metals, the cart lwing in motion. The wheels
passed on till stopped by the legs of the prostrate man,
and inflicted severe bruises on the (naves. Mr. !Linde
was taken up, and might have been vavied home, but in
order to lessen the shock to his filially, he bravely
revolved to walk as much as he could. Supported by two
men, he was got to Reforne : but the injury was such
that he fainted- three times in the way, and again when
he got home.
BIBLE SOCIETY MEETlNO.—Sermons were preached on
Sunday last at St. John's Church, Fortune's Well, in
behalf of the above truly catholic society, and collections
were made, amounting to £2 Ws. 3d. On Tuesday even-
ing a public meeting was held at the Schodroom, when
there was on the platform, besides the speakers, the Rev.
N. Lower Gedye, of Christchurch, Weymouth. The
attendance was not over large. The proceedings com-
menced by singing the hymn beginning Eternal Father,
in Thy Word." The Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald having offered
prayer, Rev. T. A. Miley, vicAr, made a few remarks,
after which Mr. Zillwoid Milledge made the financial
