{Press Telegraph Agency .) Wellington, April 8. Arrived—The Albion, at 9.30 a.m. She sails south about 2 p.m. to-morrow. [FROM OUR AUCKLAND CORRESPONDENT.] Auckland, April 7. A newspaper discussion is proceeding relative to the wisdom of importing Orange institutions into the colony. Mr Dargaville,'* a candidate for election for the City West in the Assembly, and a former candidate for the Superintendency, writes to night declaring that he is proud to hold office as Grand-master of New Zealand; and he declares that since the society was established at the Thames and Coromandel goldfields, rowdyism there has been put down. [FROM OUR WELLINGTON CORRESPONDENT,] Wellington, April 8. The last carriage of the 9.15 train from the Hutt this morning got off the rails. Fortunately the train was approaching the station, and going slow at the time, or the consequences would have been serious, as the carnage was full of people. The signalman observing the accident signalled the driver to stop which was done in time to avoid serious damage. The general mismanagement of the line is disgraceful, and people are becoming afraid to travel on it, [FROM OUR DUNEDIN CORRESPONDENT.] Dunedin, April 7. The Guardian, commenting on Mr Rolleston’s address, refers in commendatory terms to the great progress the railway is making, which contrasts with the slowness exhibited in this province. While the cause it believes is that the class of inunigrants assigned to Otago are not so generally suitable as those sent to Canterbury. It hopes Mr Macandrew will be able to make such a cheering statement as Mr Rolleston re immigration. The Daily Times, alluding to the crowded state of the Reformatory, where there are now over 140 children, when the place was only built for 100, insists on the‘ introduction of the boarding-out system. There has been a pecu liar case before the Oamaru Bench. A young man named Walter Hossack, well to do, was charged with being illegally on the premises of a young woman named Allport. It appears that Hossack is in love with a Miss Forrest, who lives with Miss Allport, and though she does not reciprocate the affection and had forbidden him the house, he persists in annoying her to accept him, and on Sunday he broke into the house, from which he was removed by the police. The Bench reserved judgment, Hossack’s counsel contending that

he cannot be convicted under the Vagrancy Act, however, imprudent and unjustifiable his conduct may have been. At Pleasant Valley Mr Paterson was attacked by a boar, which ripped him in a frightful manner, exposing the femoral artery of his thigh, and laying bare the tissue. Though the writ has not yet been issued, yet canvassing is going on briskly at Waikouati. The choice will be limited to Messrs Rich and McLean, and the former has the greater chance of success. In his address to the constituency, he dwells on the importance of a local representative, and alludes to the neglect of its wants in the past, lie abolition of the provinces he says — “Although I should be glad to see a more inexpensive form of Government than at present, I think it most unwise for the Otago and Canterbury members to interfere with the present form of Government until they are quite certain what they will get in exchange, as I believe to suddenly abolish the provinces in both islands would be to endanger the land fund, which ought to be guarded as the apple of our eye. lam fully persuaded that a great effort will be made under the leadership of Sir George Grey to have the provincial lands made colonial property, which result would be most disastrous to Otago and Canterbury interests.”

TOKOMAIRIRO RACES. At the Tokomairio races on the second day there was a better attendance. Publican's Handicap Envy, 1; Right Bower, 2; Stackpole, 3. The winner led from the first, and was never caught, though Right Bower made a game eSort in the straight, and was only beaten by half a length. An accident happened to Stackpole at the first turn. He fell and injured his back so badly that he is likely to be shot. Handicap Hurdle Race —Dead heat between Kildare and Sir Tatton. A splendid race.
