OUR W ELLINGTON LETTER

- V (I'ROil OUU OWX COttUESI'OXDEXT.) ! the hyoiubad's caugj. I Tho Reclaimed Land hero is begin* i ning 1 to assurao quite tlio appearance jof a railway repairing shod, oil account of the vasf, number of whee's, audcav ' riago body frames that are coming to hand from tho wreck of tho Hydrabad. Surely tho quantity of cargo j which has been dischirged must, have ■ materially lightened the vessel, aud | if she is over going to float again tho j time should bo near at liaud. SIIIPPIXG CASUALTIES. Shipping disasters on our Coast have boon terribly frequent lately, i tho '"' Taranaki 1 ' and the " Southmin- ■ ster " being the latest addition to tho I list. Tho Turanuki was a well known j but unfortunate vessel ; she had been j wrecked once already and for in my ; mouths lay at the bottom of Cjok's . Strait ; but having been raised and j made heisoli: again she soon re- | gained her position as a favourite j bout, but now sho has sunk never to rise aga ; n. MiC J. S. MACFAHLANE J1.11.'.1. j Yet another Auckland traitor ! what are things coming to ? Mr Macfarlaue in his speech to his con- j stituonts characterises the Government " as a poor miserable ministry " and followed this up by declaring that ho was "as disappointed as a man cjuUl bo with tho (iovorninenf," ; aud )et this speech was loudly ap- j plauded, and by an Auckland audi- j ence too. Oh, Auckland, tho pride j and boast of the Groyites ! Oh, Macfarlane, previously the hottest of the hot in supporting the present Premier ! what must this mean ? Verily there must be something wrong in the stato of Denmark.
