A TINT curr.—nn Monday was seen in our
harbour one of the smallat paddle steamers whirsh has
ever put in. The "Water Rat" was bound for Ports-
mouth. and was taking in owls. A good size jolly
boat would compete with her in tonna(e, and what
looked so peculi.r and apparently rendered her unfit for
servias was her narrow beam. Tbe "saloon cabin"
was complJte, as alai the foie cabin, and her machinery
was in good order. When lying alongside the "Premier"
the little craft looked sni.ll indeed.
Reortiri Howe.— A. horse belonging to Mr. F.
Ella ler (the same animal, we believe, that a short time
ago fell over the North Quay into the Harbour), on
Tuesday evening, between five and six o'clock became
%nuns nimble and rushed up 8k Thomas-street
towards the Railway Station. The carter boy or driver
held on pertinsecously the horse being attached to a
waggon), and guided him down King-street without
doing any damage. when on turning suddenly towards
the Royal hotel stables the horse got on the pavement
and fell, escaping by a mere shave from being forced
into the front entrance of the Fountain hotel. As it
was, the corner stone buttress was injured by the
waggon but the horse escaped unhurt.

Esq.), and the two revising assessors, Mr. Riehard
Reynolds and Mr. Joseph Rabbets, held an open Court

14,40 Milks', who, from the ocenrition of 3,
Belle Vue, had taken possession of premises in Maiden-

the claim was disallowed.—Andrew Deters had «monied
a house in Beet-street for seven years. It appeared
that be was an alien but had been in the town 37 years.
