We believe that Mr Chadwick is busy at his task of obtaining information as to the sanitation of the Colony. He has personally inspected much already that is not particu larly savoury, and his work is far from fin- ished. A day or two since he had a look at the Central Market, the place whence comCE the great bulk of the provisions for the British and Foreign Community. How he liked it, or how much he admired that

Indeed, it is understood that the Sanitary Inspector is not excessive- ly communicative; and, all things consi dered, it is perhaps just as well that he should not be. Much is expected front this independent inspection, and it will be the sincere desire of all well-wishers of the Colony that it will exercise a beneficial effect upon the health and comfort of the inhabitants, both native and forsign,
