Our Wellington Letter

(EBOM OTTB OWN COEBESPOKDJINT.) W ELLIKOTON, May Si. The notorious couple, of whom I wrote you last week, have been interviewed by the Inspector of Police, with the result that a compromise .has been effected/ The watchful constable has been withdrawn,, and the Agaew» have siguebl a pftper to the effect thajt they will cease. their annoyances: . . When the Eev. L. M. laitt, who i& now at Sydenham, was stationed in Wellington, he inaugurated Saturday night free concerts in the Theatre .Royal during the wiuter uionths, tbe rexd. gentleman's object being to provide an attractive evening's entertainment for those who spend their spare time in the public bo uses or in the streets. These con«sr r s were \so> successful that the Eev. Jos Berry^haa decided to follow the .example seto&y his brother clergyman, and giytKltioj the working people of Newtown every* Monday evening during ..this -winter a free entertainment of harmteis-recrea-tion. At each of these entertainment* the Chairman usually administers » " pill" iv the shape of a short add x.ess> on the evilt) of intemperance. .. Vi Juvenile crime has been so much oa the increase of late that a meeting of Justices was called this we^J to J c m* sider nays -<nd means of suppressing; the evil. Among the proposals brought forward to gain this end was one^Eor punishing parents who did not exercise proper control over tiieir, offspring, and another suggestion was also made that a sea-g/oing trainingship should be procured, but a* tbeiie questions weve rathdr too weighty to> be considered impromptu an adjournment was made to allow the- proposals to digest. . -. The weather has 1.-eon beautifuHjr mild d uring the past few week* Tbe« gentle zephyrs that so , conetantlj dance attendance upon us have evidently departed for. fresh ; fields and pastures uew, and have left the city in a continual bath of sunshine. A. wag asks whether this has anything: to do with the return of prosperity. There may be some truth in it, as thiß ib the seat of government.
