LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

WELLINGTON. (From our own Correspondent) This day. The " Times" and the " Post."

The Post last night says :—" We are sorry that the Neio Zealand Times has notthooght fit to at least apologise for the grave crime of which we convicted it on Saturday. In order to even yet afford it an opportunity of retrieving its character, so far as an expres sion of penitence may expiate error, and in order that there may be do doubt as to the 'nature of the charge, we shall in most pre cise terms repeat the accusation. We charge the Hew Zealand Times with having forged what purported to be a quotation from the Immigration and Public Works Act Amend ment Act, IS7I, relating to the method of charging the provinces with interest on such railways at the Hutt line, and with having

given currency to the forgery for the purpose of endeavouring to convince the general public that the law justified and authorised tbe action of the General Government. The Tikes may remark of the law, as it has before now done, remarked of facts : If the law does not justify the course adopted, so much ■worse for the law. This sort of defence, however, will not excuse the crime com mitted. If a counsel in court were to mis quote an Act, or even a precedent, with the intent to mislead the court, he would expose himself to being struck off the roll of the profession. Ihe JVetv Zealand Times, plead ing before the high court of public opinion, has been guilty of an analogous offence, but of an exaggerated character, and by doing so has placed itself beyond the pale of honest, respectable journalism." Bonded Stocks. The bonded warehouses here will be closed on the 30th with the object of taking stock. TJie Post says, "The Australasian is about to publish a series of articles descriptive of the political, social, and industrial condition of New Zealand, written by a special cor respondent of that journal, who has1 had opportunities of acquiring full knowledge of the details of the subject." The " Canterbury Press" on Sir Julius Vogel. Both the Tribune and Pout condemn the tone and language of an article in the Can terbury Press, which sneers at Sir Julius Vogel's Knighthood, and considers that paper has disgraced itself by indulging in such a tirade of abuse. The Sticking-up Case. We had a bare-faced attempt at sticking up on the Hutt Koad. Two ruffians tried to waylay the collector for the Hutt Road Board ; one coming at each side to seize the reins of the horse he was riding. One aimed a blow of a heavy stick at the horse man, but his horse swerved, enabling him to get away. He gave information to the policeman, who next day happened to see a man he took to be a doubtful card, and arrested him at once upon spec. The fellow admitted that he and another stopped the collector, but said they only did so to get a match to light their pipe. The collector had over £70 upon him at the time. The Fruits of a Gossip- There was an alarm of fire on Saturday night which illustrates the carelessness of Borne people. The male residents of the house went to the theatre, and of course Were out late. The mistress of the house put a big log on the fire, locked up, and went for a gossip with a neighbour. A man passing saw the fire at work inside, and knocked in vain.. With the help of the Neighbours, he broke open the door, and wgan turning out the furniture, and when the occupiers came home they found empty »pd charred their apartments, with all their nbusehold goods strewed about the street. , Dr. Buller has started practice here as

Whether finally he haggled as I say he did, about the wages claimed by his scouts for doing the dirty job, the latter being unable as I daresay most people are to see why the said job should be cheap as well as nasty. Mr Macassey will perhaps excuse my saying in conclusion, that until he has submitted the above charges to the crucial test of proper judicial enquiry, and has come cut clean in a Shakespearian sense from that ordeal, I can scarcely acknow ledge Ins competency to decide whether or not I am uufit for, and should be expelled from the society of gentlemen."

Proposed Harbour Board

In the Provincial Council, Mr. Smith introduced a Bill to constitute a Harbour Board. The Superintendqpt bitterly opposed its introduction, deprecating the control of the harbour being taken from the Coucil. The Bill, however, was read a first time. The Telegraph supports the Bill, and says a glance at the glaringly happy-go-lucky slip shod method of bungJing through anyhow all point to the need of reform in harbour administration. It accounts for the apathy of the mercantile community in the matter to the fact, that it has not been increased from outside for fifteen years, and conse quently is blind to the defects of the present system. The article points to waste and mismanagement to the loss of the new moorings, only lately imported at a cost of £700, and laughs at the idea of the Council managing anything at ah, and refers to the purely personal government Mr. Ormond has established.
