(fbom our own cokeespoudent:}. . Wellington, July 5i> — The law abicGng"citizens'a?eJieeff^d of the notorious criminal Allendale, who has been consigned for such a lengthy period to the safe keeptng of Mr Governor Garvey, of Terrace Gaol fame. Though there is nothing particularly striking of the criminal element in the features, it is .-, evident from his demeanour^M^Aoutr (\j the trial of his having "rojj^^^fc'ostv Office in your township, th^^^B^lhardV"" : nut," but it must be saiJ^Wnis credit^ *■ that he has taken the whofe bftint of the . blame, and hot attempted \o draw in his confederates.

When the last clock was destroyed by fire, watchmakers reaped \a> ': rich harvest, and " tickers " (or more cor- . rectly speaking "no tickers' 1 ) which had . - lain idle for years were again brought on duty. So it is anotherjpase of;" an ill wind that blows no onef J gp6&." VBusiness is proceeaiifg apace at the " Korerorium^'— .Qnpbsijfciph and "■. ment alike being apxigps to get the work of the session over wfph as little talk as possible. This is,a great relief ifter the ; experience of pre/vious* sessions, where bo much time was ilost in petty wrfcnglings.. .
