WELLINGTON.

(From our Own Correspondent.) This day.

Windy Wellington. The'streets were unendurable all yesterday. A strong north-west wind kept all the loose grit and gravel in a state of unrest, fairly beating the street water carts and making things unpleasant all round. Goggles were at premium. The whole city was covered with a canopy of smoke as if with a fall from bash fires at the back, but no damage is reported yet. Imported Fruit. The Easby brought over 500 case* of fruit from Sydney, which sold rapidly, being in splendid condition. Removal of Judges. The Post returns to the charge on the oueation of the removal of the Judges, say ing, " We are quite aware of the existence of more rings than one in a certain city" referred to, but if there is a ring which is "worried" because a Judge is going to be Bjoved, there is another and better know n ring which has for a long time been worry ing Judges, Government, and everyone con cerned, to bring about that consummation. It is perhaps Bomewhat more than an acci dental coincidence that well-known members tf thiß latter ring are popularly supposed to t>e severely affected with cacoethes scribendi chances to be ia Wellington, when our contemporary rushes to the front in defence of what we term the unconstitutional action of the Government in tampering with the independence of Judges.

Old Colonists Homeward Bound. Another old colonist is going home for a ran. Mr John Martin is following the example of Messrs Kxull and Turnbull, and going to England. Mr Seed, of the Customs and Mr Martin, travel together. As a testimony of the public appreciation of fir Martin's character, he is to be banqueted b «ore leaving Wellington.

The com mittee must, vieyr jthe /v of .^fcheir labours witn M VeVy great satisfaction, for ' *the ball was one of the best we have had\ in. f Auckland^• cr T|ig( jP?eUhn nary arra'agemOTts we're so well carried out, I and the comfort^ pf,ptherjgnests](Vras so thoroughly conslderai in eVery respect that little was left to be desired. Nearly three hundred guests were present, a number which, while it was enough^ to rivejJhe^all a full appearance, wlis'nOTMfiicTen'tly large to cause any unpleasant crowding. The toilettes of the ladies harmonised,very pret tily w ith the various Siirlifprms of the Volunteers, and this, combined with the animated faces of the dancers, ren dered the sight a very attractive one. By the way, there were some except ons to the " animated faces." Some gentlemen who all the time they were turning their partners looked as if they were performing some critical and dangerous service, which by the help of Providence they might possibly get through without an accident.. But these were not many. A first-class programme of dances was gone through. The Engineer Company furnished the band, which was under the direction of Bandmaster Wright. Mr Clark attended to the catering in his. be3t style. The supper was one of_ the mosb recherche which could be provided, and strange as it may appear at a ball spread the eatables did-not belie their name. Our worthy Mayor was prevented from scruples of conscience from honouring the scene with his presence, but his place in- the chair was ably filled by J. M. Dr.rgaville, Esq. Major Tisdali officiated as vice-chairman, and when we have said that the t vo Champions, Sir Donald McLean and Colonel Lyon, occupied the seats of honor right and left of the chair man, we shall have given all the description necessary of the disposition of the attacking forces. When the clatter of weapons had somewhat subsided a parley was commenced, the chairman calling upon all loyal subjects to toast "HerMajesjby the Queen." This being done (not brown), the same process was gone through with the " Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family." In due order of succession, and with all decorum, "His Excellency the Governor," was then drunk; after which the chairman gave the " Army and Navy and Volunteers," accompanying the reference to the Volunteers with the remark that we ought to be thankful to the wise policy of our rulers that they were not likely to be wanted in the field. (Hear, hear). Colonel Lyon for the army, and Lieutenant Jackson for the navy, returned thanks. The chairman next pro posed the toast of" the evening,.-" The two Champions." It had been well said there was no royal road to fame, and'the manner in which the two gentlemeD whose health they were just now so solicitous for had arrived at the dizzy pinnacle of fame was a case on the point. They had striven hard, and by practice and ultimately by stick-, inz to it they hadficarried off the prize. Constable Yon. Poelnitz, the Cavalry cham pion, rose to reply; on Ms pw4 behalf, .i -be was warmly received. He was much obliged to them for the honor they had done him, and should try to merit the same again. He was too full for utterance, so they mnsb excuse him saying more. 'Lieut. Skinner then got up amid a perfect Btorm of applauße, which was renewed again and again till fears were rife that the Champion would pe. drowned in its flobd.^i iWlien <at length its torrent had nabeided,, the Inwpry Ohftrtpion qu4« ft weU'jadgid peiat Wwfc
