should most strongly oppose any attempt that might be
made by Government to destroy the principle of local self-
government as now enjoyed by the vestries and district
boards. Ultimately a committee was formed to consider
the subject, with power to communicate with other vestries
and local boards, inviting them to co-operate in withstand-
ing the proposed amalgamation. At the vestry meeting of
St. Martin's-in-the-Fields yesterday, Mr. Dalton, member
of the Metropolitan Board, brought the subject under the
notice of the vestry. lie said the general feeling of the
Metropolitan Board was against the powers of vestries, &c., being taken from them. It was resolved that the subject
be referred to a committee, to solicit the co-operation of the
whole of the vestries and district boards in the metropolis
to oppose the scheme.
DR. HUNTER'S CASE.—A change has been made
in the solicitors for the defence. The case is nowwhoin the
are
hands of Messrs. Lewis and Lewis, of Ely-place,
charge hanging over his head. It is
expected
most active in getting up evidence to rebutthat some
the serious
most extraordinary disclosures will cne out. The case
still excites the greatest amount ofinterestl at the West-
end.

The latest samples of quartz from the Minnesota
gold regions, it is estimated, will yield $lOO to the ton.

Overland emigration to Oregon this year is eoti-
mated at 10,000.
