(Saturday Advertiser?) Lambtos Kat, Wellington.
November 9,
Be the hokey, the Prorogu-ashun was one ay the tamest affairs o' the kind we've -iver had in the impire city. Some ay the boys axed me to put on me coort shnit in honor ay the occasion, but the Markiss wouldn't hear of it, at all, at all, so he wouldn't. Sir George has axed me to take a thrip up to Kawau wid him, but, begorra, Mrs M. won't have it, so she won't. Iver since me little inthraigue wid the Maori Princess at the King nieetin , , Molly is as jealous as the devil, co she is. Betchune •you an' me I'm gcttin' in the black books wid the Markiss; an' Pat O'Rell won't spake to me in the sthreet. An all bekaee ithey think I've used my influence wid Sir Mickey Baitch to get me ould friend an' counthryman, Sir Billy Cairns, appointed •Governor. I'll tell ye all about Billy whin he arrives. Be mo soul, the Markiss •does'nt like the iday ay bein' shifted to Victoria, bekase he's opposed to Purtection, an' believes in Free Thrade. Fin tould his lordship composed the followin' ippi-cram a few days ago:—

In Milboume's bitther Berry. Paddy Mcrpuy.
