TELEGRAMS.

(For Anglo-Australian Press Telegraph Agency .) Auckland, September 16. The Cross, referring to last night’s interruption, says the people of Auckland will regret having permitted a lawyer, who indulges in malicious and false libels, and is ready to traduce better men than himself, so to disturb a meeting and allow’ it to be misled as to affront in ihe presence (person ?) of the people’s representative, the astute man to whom New Zealand owes more of her advancement in social and commercial prosperity and progress than to any other man who has had a share in the Government of the colony. Wellington. September 16. The English mails ex Macgregor, will be brought from Manukau here in the Luna which left last night. The Southern portion will be forwarded per the Phoebe.

It is confident that if he can make arrangements at home that will please and satisfy him, he will not return. Mr J. L. Gillies has been elected secretary to the Harbor Board. THIS DATS TELEGRAMS. Auckland, September 17th. Arrived, last night, the Moneynick barque, from Lyttelton. [FROM OUR DUNEDIN CORRESPONDENT . J The Rev. Salmond, Free Church Minister from Forfarshire, has been appointed Professor of Theology at the Otago University, The Ocean Beach Railway Company propose completing their line to Forbury, in time for the March race meeting. The Guardian says authoritatively, being in a position to know, that Vogel’s version of the caucus of Government supporters is correct. The caucus resolved upon three things—the abolition of the Northern Provinces ; that the seat of Government question should not be reopened ; and that the 1856 compact should not be disturbed. It was agreed that the last two subjects should not be imported into the Bill amending the constitution ; a superfluous resolution, because the Royal instructions forbid two or more distinct subjects being dealt with in one Bill. The new Southern hotel will be seven storeys high. Eallingshaw (who attempted suicide) is reported out of danger. Mr Wentworth’s Wantwood estate at Hokonui, 30,000 acres of freehold, with 30,000 sheep, has been sold for £OO,OOO sterling, to McUaughan, of Victoria. Mr. Macandrew called together a meeting of his friends the other day to consider what action should be taken in the present position of politics, but the result is not ascertainable.
