WELLINGTON.

The schooner ‘Bee,’ Capt. Croucher, which arrived on Saturday last, left Wellington on Sunday, 14th July. On our reporter boarding her, he (upon learning the day ehe left) naturally inquired for papers. But there was none. There had been some on board when she left Wellington, the latest date being that of the 13th (eleven days later than yet in our possession, although we have news by way of Auckland up to the 9th), but they' had been all torn up on the passage. Whether our Wellington contemporaries sent files for Napier by the ‘Bee ,’ or not, wo cannot of course say ; but we certainly think if papers had been forwarded, addressed to ourselves or to our local contemporary, they would not have been destroyed. Wellington papers, now that the Assembly is sitting, will bo much in demand, and as our fellow-journalists there know that more than three weeks elapse without a regular steamer arriving at Napier from tluir port, wo think they should send files by any chance vessel there may be. As it is, wo are precluded from giving our readers any intelligence of the proceedings of the Assembly which must have been contained in papers of so late a date.

The correspondent, of (he New Zealand Herald, under (lute 9th J uk, tnys —“ There has been a bit of a row here this morning touching the new wharf.
