Three stones have been placed on the old quay in
remembrance of recent landings of bricks without
pear.duas. Maria being interested in trade has investi-
gated the affair, and report.:—" There is nothing to
pretest bricks being lauded at the spot and in the
epreiio manner that stones are shipped. But is there
no 'brick ' with sense enough to cart off the memorial
shoes? Thus only can the right to the quay be
claimed, for surely if boatmen have the right to land
net blockhead., boatmen have an equal right to land
day blocks.' Who claims the quay? Whet are

Kenealy. Boatman H. Smith has gone to see if he
recognises the lions, said to have been "captured by
Dr. Livingstone," for he warn with the doctor at every
catch, and inherit,' the doctor's contempt for such
bawling brutes, the noise of which has convinced a
coward world that they are royal. A testimonial from
the boatman would be worth the attention of a
