Looking; 5 theg'' factß we think that Messrs Hancock * (jjr./^er exercised sound judgment in per mitting i heir vessel to go away under Captain Stivers' command. The course of procedure adopted by the mate and crew in bringing *he vessel back cannot but be considered yery extraordinary. There was no valid reason why the ship should not have contin ued her voyage. If every vessel which sails from thi" Port were t>rought back with as little reason we should have a very large number returning.

WELLINGTON.

{From onr own Correspondent.) This day. The Talent. The town is full of that fraternity known as the "Talent." Qhey are here preparing their books for the Wellington races. One in particular is said to have cleared £1,700 at the Canterbury races. Elections—Wet Weather. A leading citizen and an old politician is taking six to four that Travers and Gisborne will be returned. The civil servants, how ever, it is said, will not vote for]Mr Gisborne. The amount of rain this week has been something disgusting. Mr Gishorne and the " Tribune." The Tribune pitches in hot to Mr Gisborne on Saturday night. It ridicules the idea of him speaking of improvident, unequal, and flurried finance, and then goes on to point out tbat Mr Gisborne is still a Government servant, drawing a large salary, which he is reluctant to relinquish, although he is about contesting two elections and doing his canvas sing while a Government officer. His latest move was to ask for three months' leave of absence, and when that was granted he wanted full salary thrown in, but the Go vernment did not see that. It then adds, "What does Mr Gisborne want with three months' salary in advance, when he reckons as a matter of course, although there are many slips between the cup and the lip, on being Mayor of Wellington in little more than a month ? Perhaps Mr Gisborne can inform us on these peculiarities of personal finance, which are somewhat ' unequal,' although certainly bearing no traces of being either 'improvident' or 'flurried.' " Gillon and Co. to-day paid over the first instalment of the purchase money for the Tribune. A large amount of support is promised them, and their prospects are generally considered very fair, taking into account the popularity of the Evening Post.

WELLINGTON.

[Per Press Telegram Agency.] This day. Walking a Hundred Miles. Edwards performed tbe task of walkiDg 105 miles in 23 hours 46 minu'es.

RIVERTON.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Saturday night. Election Matters. Jas. Mcintosh addressed the electors ; his speech is nearly an echo of Mr Macandrew's manifesto. After the address a vote of no confidence was moved and also an amendment that other candidates he heard before they gave any support to Mr Mcintosh on the shew of hands being taken the voting was very equal but the chairman declared the motion carried. The Wly other candidates announced are James Wilson M.P.C. and Ur Hod__kinson all pro 'meialiats. It is thought tbat if Mr McGilli *ray or any other abolitionist comes forward "* would stand a good chance to go in unless tome of the provincialists retired.

Gentlemen, — I have much pleasure in acceding to your request that I should allow myse'f to be nominated as a Candidate for tbe honour of representing Auckland City East in the House of Representatives. I am, Gentlemen, Youi s truly, J M. CLARK To Dr. Camib*_i_, an "the other gentlenun signing the requisition. mo THE ELECTORS OF .NEWTON Gentlemen, —Having reason to believe that I fairly represented your opinions in Parliament, and knowing that I did my best to do so, I offer myself as a Candidate for re-election. There is nothing I can say that will enable you to know more of me than you do now, as I am and have been personally known lor many years to nearly all of you. As to what is to be done now, I say let us, as far as possible, manage our own affairs. Surely we who know and are interested, can do so better than those who neither know nor care, and whose interests are often opposed to ours. If you see fit to elect me, my conduct will be the same in the future as it has been in tbe paßt —an endeavour, as far as possible, to get unity of action among our Members; to reduce wasteful expenditure; to put power into the hands of the people, not to deprive them of it; and that all great questions should be submitted to them.
