GRAY IL NOBLE are prepared to offer
their new and attractive stock of mems,
boys and children's hats and caps at lower
prices than ever before, for the reason
that they we're bought by the case at the
factories, made especially for them, and
consequently at much lower figures than
when bought in smaller quantities.

The Steamship subsidy.

In the Gazette of Wednesday are two letters
from the Department of Finance to Mr.. Hall and
to Mr.. Stewart, each representing a different line
of steamships between Australia and this port.
By these letters we gather that the Government
have decided to give the subsidy to the present
line of steamers-the .Wonga WOnga and City o.
MeBourne,-giving the company represented by
Mr.. IL. Ii. Hall until the LIST of May next to con-
clude their contract. The Agent of the Webb
line, Mr.. j. 3. NJ. Stewart, is informed that
failing a contract with the Hall line, the Govern
ment will ".hOld themselves in readiness " to
contract with any other line. All things being
equal, we could understand why a line already
established should have the preference; but in
view of facts well known, and to which we may
revert in full, we are at a loss to see any
good reason for this action Of the Government. In
the disposal of the subsidy granted by the Legis-
lature, the Government should have regard solely
to the best interests of the country, without favor
to any one party or parties. We do not speak in
the interests of any one company of steamship
owners, but we contend that all things are not
equal as to the suitableness of the two different
which have applied for the subsidy.

a Wandering Star.

Mr.. Star (*) is determined to have the last
word. He is out again in last Wednesday
Gazette, and losing his temper because we insist
that we simply printed without comment the ar
guments Of counsel as to whether a certain
statute was Constitutions or not, accuses US OF
using temperance society arguments 90 as a cloak
to. cover designs to despoil the widow or orphan
of his (sic) rights
Fierce volens foans with rage, and gazing round,
Descry'd not him who gave the fatal wound"
But seriously, this fussy writer is outof breath
to no purpose, and very busy about nothing. He
does the yery thing he falsely accuses us of doing,
tries to get a case prejudged before the Court has
opened its mouth. His nervous persistency re-
minds one of the story, humorously told by Gay,
of an apple woman, who, when the Thames was
frozen over, was said to have had her head cut off
by the ice
- . The cracking crystal yields, she sinks, she dies.
Her head chopped off, from her lost shoulders flies
Pippins- she cried, but death her voice coniounds,
And pip-pip-pip along the ice resounds-"
Surely this Mr.. : must be a dealer in pippins /,
As to the merits of the controversy between the
parties in Court, We profess to know nothing
whatever ; nor is it material which was plaintiff
or which was defendant, SO long as the fact
remains that the one question before the Court
was as to the Constitutionality of the law of Jan.
10, 1865. Our simply stating that fact in our
issue of January Is last,-'' only that, and moth
ing more, '-has caused this wonderful discharge
of bile by the s. rashly importunate " correspon-
dent of the Gazette. He repadiates his former
fling at g reformed or confirmed drunkards, :" and
now only processes to pity them but he has not
the grace to retract his sneer at the s. so-called
Good Templars.' Probably any good word for
that Order would be like Macbeth's amen-it
would g stick in his throat. But as he concludes
by declining to further notice US, we bid farewell
to this star of a very diminutive magnitude. The
gloomy and foul atmosphere through which it
has blinked has brought to it's spiritual vision
forms of * widows and orphans" Perchance it
was not all a dream.~
