WELLINGTON

(From cur O wn Correspondent). This day. Judge Gillies Sworn.

Judge Gillies was sworn in by Judge Johnston to-day. High Interest on Deposit. The Australian Mutual Provident Society having £100,000 to deposit for a year, invited tenders from the banks for ifc. The Bank of Australasia's offer of seven per cent was accepted. Scarcity of Cargo for London. One feature of the present commercial progess of tbe colony, so far as this port is concerned, is that more ships come out than we find outward cargoes for j at least, in any reasonable time. The Soukar has been here a long time, and has about five thousand bales of wool aboard, and wants 2,500 more. She cannot well get that amount in time to enable her to get home for the July sales. The Carnatic will be still worse off for cargo. The Avalanche has had to clear for Lyttel ton to finish, loading there. The quantity of tallow and flax exported has diminished very much lately. Theatricals at Large. Among the idlers of the town now are a lot of people of the footlights. The Airey King of the Air promises to make an ap pearance shortly. Beda the one-legged and the Franconis are also doing nothing. The Bates are back from Uapier, and not in the best of spirits after their venture in that direction. Johnny Hydes appears to be afflicted with unpleasant recollections of Napier, for this morning he writes in the Times a long, satirical, but rather stagey epistle levelled at Kapier people generally, but particularly at the sucking Bichelieus and De Mauprat3 of that amateur-afflicted town, and Hoskins has much to answer for in raising such a stock of amateur actors in the country. "Play-goer" rushes to the rescue in the Post, and denounces Hyde's tirade as the worst specimen of mixed impu dence and bad taste he ever saw, and says he deserves to be hissed off the stage when he next appears. He says few actors in the colony have ever trespassed so much upon tha patience of the, press and public. ' Bates repudiates all knowledge of the letter. The Girards- The Girards opened last night to an extra ordinary house. The question whether the other three will be anything like is doubtful. Julian the Boneless is wonderful ; all the rest are merely weak accessories. Corporation. Indebtedness- It is reported that during the absence of the Mayor it has leaked out that the Corpo ration is £16,000 in debt, and paying ten per cent, for its overdraft. Chamber of Committee. v There were nine applicants for the billet of SciJtt^tary to the new Chamber of Commerce at a salary "of-JiijP a year. Seven had no chance. The contest lay between the old Secretary, Mr. Carroll, and Mr. Mosley, whose effort 3 mainly resuscitated the old Chamber. Carroll was successful by one vote. In recognition of Mr. Mosley's services, the committee voted film £25. The Gothenburg. Widespread sorrow in felt throughout the community at the MI tiding of the Gothen burg disaster. '■ '
