THE PRESS ON THE GOVERNOR'S LATEST APPEARANCE.

o* the Governor in not merely refusing to be lonsanife^d "ailonlluTtable of the House by palpably the action not merely of a Bartizan but of a very foolish one. Nobody wSI suppose the sage conception was the Governor* own. His Wxccllency has neither the intellect to conceive, nor the(force of character to Vive birth to. such a deed. He was simply the unfortunate tool of some unscrupulous Minister It bears a singular family likeness to the Mephistophelean genius of Dr. Pollen. • Now it will be seen that oven the Governor , has degraded his high position in descending to a mean and paltry attempt to embarrass and harass him by a Dublic snubbing. If all this conspiracy to drive Sir George Grey and his Ministry from power does not evoke general sympathy, we cm only say that it ought to. We are perfectly sure that rothing like this has ever before been exhibited by any Governor of any Colony with responsible Government; and we are equally sure that no Govern*.Uba this one has ever before been dignified with Her "■SSW&SrtKtS Herald," which strongly sissafffih blundered and to this verdict the outside public v^M add that he has acted manifestly as a Sr-tizanof the late Government. The bearings of all this upon the political situation are of ?ome importance. It will now. we should say, We™ nearly impossible for the Governor to stand out finally and refuse a dissolution should Sir George Grey demand it. Any Ministry that succeeded the present one would be placed in t'»e unenviable position of being retained in office by an alliance with His Excellency in opposition to the wishes of the majority of the population of the colony. Everything forebodes the total collapse of the Atkinson party. In ar other article the same journal remarks that the Marquis of Normanby before exhibited a partisan 'spirit in the correspondence on the Grey memorandum. WHAT IS THOUGHT OF TRAVERS, GISBORNE, AND FOX. The "Wairapava Standard" says of Messrs Travers and Gisborne:-" Neither of them had shewn the possession in the past of any high nnmical nrincinles, and the zigzag course they have adoS^doubtless in obedience to a law of theirnature, and was what we fully expected. It would be more satisfactory that their votes should turn out] the present Government than that they should havel received appointments under it, even {though the result should be their own temporary attainment of office. We Sded the monopoly of the principal seats in the Grey Cabinet by such men as Gisborne, Curtis and Travers, and we are glad therefore to find them supporting Mai or Atkinson, even though their doing so should result in the temporary defeat of the Grey Ministry. In consistent, however, as theirjeonduct has been, it is nothing compared with the inconsistency of Mr Fox- The speech he made must have been heard with almost as much surprise as regret by such men as Mr Macandrew, Mr O'Rorke,"and the other old members of the once powerful Provincial party, who had been in the habit of looking upon the author•of! the Six Colonies," and the ''Catechism of toe Consti tution," as.their able leader. But in truth he was never anything of the kind. He is not made of tiiestuflf which constitutes leaders. His mind was always as soft as a boiled turnip, and any aopearance of strength that it displayed was owing to great powers of sarcasm, combined with warm energy of expression and a com bative temper, which not have unfitted him for a fish-wife, and have done no discredit tn the Prize Ring. Such a man can have no strong convictions, though he may possess great strength of expression, which fre quently does duty in their stead. He has never been a leader, and was never more than a nominal Prime Minister, and adds that although the action taken by Sir George Grey in the bombardment dispatch was inexcusable, the Governor's subsequent pro ceedure was still worse. It now appeared, con tinues the " Herald," that Sir George Grey was nlaying the fool in order to satisfy his constitu ents, but the Marquis of Normanby did nothing that was inconsistent with his natural role.

CAPITAL ELECTORAL HINT.

(To the Editor of the Star). Str,—Permit me to submit a brief notice to Aucklanders. Following from Star of to-night: —To Arthur John Burns: Sir,—We. the under signed electors, expressour strong dissatisfaction with your conduct, &c, and in deserting teir George Grey and bis administration ; and now call upou you either to support Sir George Grey or at once resign your position as representative. The above, mainly, per Star of to-night, was, recollect, from South. And, now, remember Rovre and Douglas. Ought not some such manifesto to emanate from Noith? Six, some of rs ive more than annoyed, are almost disgusted at the recent proceedings at Wellington. Sir, is not the matter unpre cedented? It is surely and thoroughly un-En"iish for any one matter to have two '■motions" in cue session. Ay? Often m England have I known admeasure introduced a dozed times in twelve years ; but never, never the 1 hfn^ as now. Sir, I am pretty certain that this twice of Atkinson's is unconstitutional ; and moreover, I shrewdly suspect the whole ft S I have faith that Grey and Stafford will incidentally shew up the difference between cunning and sagacity. Grey is an able man. Th at is saying much, especially after our making shift, with inefficient honourable gentlemen, nicknamed muffs. Now, Grey really* requires no outsiders suggestions. Trust him, "by George!"—l am, &c, W. *>. Sadler. _________^__

Sharks are so numerous in the Port of Melbourne that the Government pay a reward for capturing them. The result of this provision has been laid before Parlia ment by the Inspector of Fisheries, who stated that he found from inquiries made from fishermen that for years past the supply of edible fish had been gradually declining, while the number of sharks seemed to be on the increase. In the winter mouths the large sharks go to deep water near the Heads, while the younger ones varying in size up to about 6ft, remain higher up the bay, and consume a large quantity of small fish. Before the reward was offered the fishermen could not afford to spend their time in sharp-catching, but now many of them have taken it up as a business. At first large numbers of sharks were taken high up the bay, but now the fishermen had to go below Mornington and along the St. Leonard's side in search of them. At the Brighton station over 2,000 sharks were produced ; and only one, a ', ti^er" shark, exceeded sft in length. Thft° following amended scale of rewards was submitted to the Commissioner of Custc3na on behalf of the fishermen :—2ft and under, 3d each ; to sft, 9d each ; to Bft, Sd per foot; to 10ft, Is per foot; ovei- 10ft, 2s 6d per foot. Mr Herbert Roberts, the billiard player, hid a match in Wellington with Mr J. Ames _ >yell-known local expert, giving him 200 out of 600. The champion won, with an unfinished break of 42, by 146 points. The four largest breaks made by Mr Roberts were 43, 77 (including 21 spot strokes), 47, and 52. Mr Ames' largest breaks being 37, 23, and 15. The game altogether lasted about an hour and a-half. The°next was a cannon game, in which the champion played finger and thumb against Mr Ames with the cue, 75 up, giving 40 points. As in the former game, Mr Roberts came off an easy victor' the balls apparently cannoning wherever and whenever he pleased. The Assari Tefvik, the present flagship of Hobart Pasha, is an armoured casemated iron ship, of 3143 tons displacement. Al though by no means one of the largest iron clads of the Turkish navy, she possesses the valuable qualities of high speed, great power of manoeuvring, and comparatively li"ht draught of water; and is therefore peculiarly adapted for operations in water near the shore. The Assari Tefvik is armoured with 8-inch plate.*, and carries an armament of eight 9-inch Armstrong guns, each weighing 12 tons. bix of these guns are in broadside batteries, the remaining two being mounted to lire en barbette in fixed turrets, the latter covered with 8-inch steel plates. For defence against torpedo boats the fiagsnip carries two mitrailleurs, one at each end of the bridge, and two revolver cannons, one of which is mounted in the how, the other in the stern of the vesssel. These weapons, which are the invention of a Frenchman, throw a steel-pointed conical projectile.
