103 names of the persons who perished liv tlie
bursting of the Sheffield dam, appears in the Times
of March 15.
"0. L P."—Aprivate soldier in India can purchase
his immediate discharge on application to the com
manding officer. The Government will not provide
him a passage from the country: but on the con
trary will require him to lodge, in addition to the
regular compensation for nis discharge — the
amount of which depends entirely upon the length
of his unexpired service—a sum sufficient to de
fray the expense of his passage home.
" Verax sends us a letter, the points of which
we do not just sec. He complains of certain per
sons setting up " a teacher who is deficient in the
principles of the English languageand then asks
"outh" such things to be? Ana further:—"Hoes
it not tend to make one blush and hang his head
that calls himself a schoolmaster ?" We should
think it doe-.
"Labourer and Slave" writes too intemperately.
"Peacliey Belt."—If our correspondent resides
within the limits of a district, he should com
municate with the Clerk. If not, he might write
to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, giving in
either case the number of his section.
"An Inquirer."—If our correspondent will be
more explicit, we will endeavour to answer his
question. He does not even say to which of the
two Houses he refers, as neither of them is called
the "Legislative Assembly." We may inform
him, however, that each House possesses the
power of suspending its own Standing Orders.
"Melrose."—B must pay the amount, as the
responsibility went with the ticket.
