GRAHAMSTOWJST.

(From our Own Correspondent.) This day. Mr Mackay and Sir George Grey. The Advertiser this morning says :—" We have received the following characteristic telegram from Mr Mackay, now in Auckland. Mr Mackay may send us a dozen " cautions" if he likes, but they will not prevent US" from reporting whatever Sir George Grey • may say in public, because we believe with Mr Mackay that he is not " capable of deliberate misrepresentation of facts." Whatever appeared in our report was certainly uttered by the Superintendent, as it was taken down at the time in shorthand, and at the present we cannot regard the statement as '"canards." If Mr Mackay, when he gives us the "other side," can convince us by indisputable facts that such is the case, we shall tell the Superintendent that he is a humbug. Until this is done we must regard Sir George Grey's statements as coirect. The following is Mr Mackay's "caution" :—" I caution you against publishing canards and ex parte statements said to be tittered by • Sir George Grey, whom I do not think to be capable of deliberate misrepresentation of facts. At any rate hear the other side before condemning it. You can publish this or not as you please.—Mackay." A vessel is being built by Mr Stone, and will be launched next week.
