A VERY funny scene occurred in the Central Police Station a little before noon to-day. A crowd came up to the Magistracy from China town, and as they stopped at the gate a little wizened old woman, something over four feet high, emerged, firmly grasping the queue of big young coalie, who laughed shamefacedly as she marched him excitedly to the railing. She still stuck to his back-hair as she told the highly amused assembly how she had lent him $4 and how he wouldn't her pay back, yanking his head down occasionally to emphasize her words. He said he had repaid her son she, with a vicious Jerk, said he hadn't. When the inspector could get a word in edgeways be told them to go away, and she hauled her prisoner back, pointing het finger up at him threateningly all the time she wai in sight.

A SCOTCH JAILOR named Latson got drunk last night, and after having a row with bis 'ricks man struck a Sikh constable who interfered, breaking a tooth. He was afterwards locked up, and had an interview with Mr. Wodehouse this morning. He admitted the assault, but said with an air of sincerity, that the Sikh struck him several times and twisted his arm "fit to break

Mr. Wodehouse didn't believe him. We do We have the. Governor's word for it that the Sikhs are often wantonly brutal to their prisoners, and we have seen frequent examples of it our- selves that arm-twisting trick is a pet one of theirs, because it leaves no marks. We recollect that a while back there was considerable ferment in-we believe-Rangoon, because the native and Indian constables took advantage of their position to assault Europeans on the pretence of arresting them. Another time we hope that a little farther inquiry will be made when prisoners specially white men-complain of this highly improper treatment.

THUS the Sydney Bulletin:There is jubilation in Auckland (N.Z) in jalap and ipecac, circles: the poultice-makers shout with glee and all the pestles and mortars sing together for joy, while the rival sawboneses smile the dislocated smile of malice and envy Dr. Bond, late of the Auckland Hospital, and Miss Crisp, lady superintendent of the same bower of bliss have just been married. The average jut would doubtless remark that Miss Crisp has entered the bonds of matrimony-not being the Average ijut, we forbear. The local paper gushes over the "sweet simplicity" of the affair.

On the marriage morn the lady went about her official duties as usual, poul- ticed this patient, blistered that, gracefully applied a leech here and the stomach-pump there.

The following is the report for presentation to to be held at the offices of the General Agents, at the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, noon, on Monday, the 18th of February, 1889:

The General Agents beg to submit to the Shareholders their report on the working of the Refineries, and a Statement of Accounts for the year ended 31st December, 1888. The Refineries at East Point, and Bowington have been constantly employed during the period under review, and the working Account shows a very satisfactory result.

Inclusive of $11,160.43 brought forward from last year and of $90,000 paid as an interim dividend of $6 per share on the 24th of August last, the balance at credit of Profit and Loss Account is $137,100.07, which the General Agents and Consulting Committee recommend should be appropriated as follows :- | Interim Dividend of $6 per share

Most of the consuming markets have been active during the year; and the results of ship. ments are therefore unusually good.

Outstanding shipments are moderate, and the proceeds will, it is estimated, fully cover the amount of this asset.

In consequence of the decaying condition of many of the wooden beams in the East Point and Bowrington Refineries it was decided to replace them by iron ones, and advantage is now being taken of the stoppage for annual overhaul to carry out the work, the estimated cost of which in about $10,000.

The General Agents regret that there is no immediate prospect of resuming work at Swalow with any advantage.
