WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent) This day. Election Gossip There is nothing political stirring;. There { g no talk of ar^one being bmnaht forward ta appose Messrs Pearce and Hunter in the next election for the city, though ifc was at one ti'iie said Messrs Travers and Buckley •woiiirf. It is pretty certain now that Mr Tfavers will stand for a Nelson constituency. It is reported that ere long Mr George Hunter, the present city member, will be called to the Uoper House. It is also understood that Mr Brandon, the member for the country districts, could obtain a seat in the Upper House if he would accept it, but he is peculiar and uncertain. If Mr Hunter did not contest the next election, Mr Moorhouse would have a good chance if he risked a contest. Italian Immigrants. A lot of the Italians who came out by the Her?cbel, and were employed on the Hutt railway, turned out to be useless as navvies, and were sent packing. New Government Build'ngs. It is said the Howrah brought out fiffcy carpenters for the contractors who are put ting up the new Government Buildings, which, by-the-wav, are not likely to be finished before 1877, though an attempt will be made to get raady one of the wings for the Treasury as soon as it is possible to be done.

Sledmere has a large number of his progeny just coming on in different parts of the colony.
