(From our own Correspondent). This day,

The Herald's Auckland correspondent is abusive in this morning's issue on the depu tation to Sir Geerge Grey. He says :—" On the 23rd ultimo Messrs Sheehan, Dignan, Wilson, and Reed went to the Kawau to ask Sir George Grey to stand for City West, and (save the mark) to offer him the Superinten dency ! Sheehan is the gent who of late busied himself in your part of the colony. Dignan is an inoffensive Provincial Executive "dummy." Wilson (Mr Dargaville's fox of Wyndham-street) is proprietor of the Pro vincial bellowß, to wit, the New Zealand Herald; and Reed, the celebrated Rev. Editor, of the odoriferous Evening Star. Wilson and Reed represent themselves and Wyndham-street, as far as that thorough fare is occupied by their offices " _ It is well known whom this correspondent is, and that he is a civil servant in tbe Native Office. If the Native Minister is too busy to look after this man, Lieutenant-Colonel St. John surely can do so, and enforce the rules that Civil Servants shall not be newspaper correspon dents.

The most elegant jewellery and dry goods stores presented the same disastrous appear ance, as the smaller retail shops. Four Chinese were drowned, together with three horses. A large portion of the Yuba Bridge grade was carried away, which cuts off all communication with the South Eastern part of the country. The bridge across Slaughter-house slough has been partly carried away for a length of 200 ft. Other bridges are more or less damaged. Portions of the Oregon railway have bsen carried away, about half a mile of the track was washed away at Yuba station. Sheep and and pigs were drowned in all cirections. Several citizens were received from situations of great peril.
