that a compositor's blunder in our report of the last

made it appear that Mr. Houlieton was in armor as
collector to the Board at the time of his death, whilst
the fact is that arrears have accumulated vitcc the
death of the late collector, who was • most smut and
painstaking officer, and in justice to his relatives we
make this explanation.

WAIFS FROM THE ROCK.
It is probable that ere long we shall welcome back
our old friends of the Channel fleet. Joining company
with the 'ternary. Squadron at Gibraltar, they will
make for home once more. Fortunately for us that dur-
ing their absence their vervices have not been required
in the Channel.

adaptability of the Breakwater for a quarantine
station has been ,atisfactorily proved. Our visitors from
aen ma the water are very pleased with the arrangements
nude for the safety of their stock. Permanent fittings
could with ease be fixed at the lairs, water both for drink-
ingiand cleansing purposes can be procured in abund-
ance, and cattle can be speedily landed at thejetty. With
them inducements to offer, we think that a large
foreign traffic might be opened up with this country
ria Portland. --
Judges of live stock tell us that the cattle now
lying in quarantine are good specimen., of the different
breeds. They certainly have had the effect of
attracting a number of sightseers, especially on
Sunday, when crowds from far and near Rocked to the
Breakwater to satisfy their curiosity.

We would bring to the notice of the local authority
