ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

(From our London Correspondent.) London, Ypeeember 26; GOVEENOR EOWEK. , |V,. V

The Melbourne papers Have had the bold ness to say what Auckland papers never dared to utter. I see by some of the late tiles from Victoria that the new Governor ha 3 actually been called stingy,/ not to say mean No one in New Zealand*'will care to deny'that this is a true ..bill,, anc^ that Sir George was never more in the colony than an inflated wind-bag. His pomposity, verbq city and every other osity except generosity had passed into a proverb before he had been twelve months Governor of the Britain of the South, and I never could imagine any other reason for the silly praise .which New Zealand journals awarded him than that oi; politeness to his lady. _ Ladies are privi 7 ledged persons even in high and responsible places, and therefore I suppose I must not say any more ; but there-are people in Auck land I know who could "have wished that Government House had .been conducted on more sociable, ~-fjid liberal, and hopitabie principles - - than was the case in Sir George's regime. 'Und.r similar circumstances the Queen of England would not have escaped so easily. Indeed, as you know, the retirement of the Queen until within a late period had elicited some rather warm remarks,. fr,on_ the press. Let us hope that a short residence in Victoria will enlarge the ideas of our vice-regal friends. - , -; . V , ..-..'. V THE STATE OF NEW YORK

was never particularly famous for the pro duction of very honest people, and of late they seem to have been getting rather worse if possible than they were. . We.seem to have hardly got the taste of Mr Tweed and Mr Fisk out of our mouths before we hear of new transgressions in fresh quarters. The New York police are now the people who'are the transgressors. You remember the Bank of England forgery case and the arrest of Mac donnell's by the New -York" detectives. After Macdonnell's conviction die'stafed tlia _ at the time of Ms apprehension he had a large sum of money on him, and that he handed this over to the New-York-police detectives onboard the steamer' with the understand ing that if he escaped conviction-he was to have half the plunder returned to him. -/This the'detectives deny, but varied but most conclusive circumstantial evidence com bines to prove that they were guilty of receiving the stolen funds, never theless there will be no enquiry, and they'-will pocket the swag, Probably if the truth were known it would be foundthat the head of the police department had his share for-'the sake of keeping him quiet/ The Democrats are getting it all into:.their own Kan&s again in th^ State, and.prpbabl_ before long ,we shall hear of some-more Tweeds being discovered. Is there anything in the atmosphere of Yankee land||which demora _ze_-..
