The London correspondent of the Auckland Stai- writes : — " Sir Julius Yogel has been unlucky in his candidature for Falniouth. That borough has gone with the tide of public opinion, and elected two Liberals. The opponents of Sir Julius wete the shipowners, Mr Jenkins, an uncle of the late witty M.P. for Dundee, the author of " Ginx's Baby," and Mr Baliol Brett, a son of Lord Justice Brett, private secretary to Lord Har ting ton. Mr Brett seems one of - the most promising young men of the Liberal party. Lady Yogel followed the prevailing strong-minded fashions among lady politicians, and canvassed the borough so energetically tbat her exertions were honorably mentioned in the London papers. Some amusing incidents are talked about in Falmouth. 'My Lady' visited one of her sex' to whom half-crowns under present circumstances have no attraction. The question being introduced that ' ladies have an indescribable influence, and I hope you will - use it in favor of ' before the sentence could be finished the reply came forth as was meant, '* Yea ; and I intend using it on my husband, and wherever I can, in favor of — Jenkins and Brett.' On one occasion a canvasser came rather late in the evening, and was told the husband had gone to bed, but od a suggestion that some work for herself, and a situation as errand boy might be forthcoming for her child, the answer was ' You leave my man tome, I'm cappen.' A correspondent of the Ealmouth Liberal organ writes : • The defeat of the Tories at the recent elections for the united borough is unprecedented. The favorate candidate, Sir Julius Yogel, upon whom they were so sweet, and who bad so carefully ' nursed ' the borough for many months, together with his talkative colleague, Mr John Dawson Mayne, utterly failed to stem the tide of Liberalism, and a 9 they were swept away the hopes of the Tories departed — al all events for many years to come. When a child in a small Bavarian village was being catechised by a priest, and asked how many things are necessary in a service of baptism, he promptly, replied: "Three, father." " Ah, you stupid," replied the holy man, " I thought everybody knew that only two are absolutely necessary; first, water, and second, the Bible. Now, young sir, won't you tell us what are the three ?" The boy looked up with a bland smile, and arswrre-': "My father, the three are— first, water; second, the Bible; and third, a baby."

Mr Montgomery, the member for Akaroa, s a leading member of the liberal party in STew Zealand. In concluding his recent adIress to hia constituents he said.—" With regard to the position of parties at present, le hoped there would be no factious )pposition offered to the Government next session, ; and if he (knew anything of the >arty to which he belonged, there would be none. So long as the Government gave all ihe information required, and brought down their measures in good time to admit of intelligent dicussion, then the minority must bow to the majority." A Sandhurst paper relates how two boys played truant from school, and to keep out of sight, selected a cutting on the Danger Hill, California Gully, which divides tbe Hercules and Energttic Company's] lease from the North Hercules claim. After setting down and playing for Borne time, one of the lads, named Rossewall, observed something brighi sticking out of the ground, and on closer examination found it to be a lump of gold. The boy returned home, and. very properly, received the usual thrashing from his mother for playing truant; after which he showed her the oval nugget. The nugget is of pure gold, and was waterworn on one side. Whan cold the price realised Will be about £100." A farmer who had been much annoyed by the bolting propensities of a cart horse, says a contemporary, treated us to an exhibition of bia mode of curing the runaway. After one of the usual bolts he procured two long ropes, attached one end of each to the bit, and the other to the spokes of the wheel in such ft manner that the forward motion of the cart would wind the ropea up. He then started the horse on another scamper, but it was soon brought up sharp by the ropes when wound up and thrown on its " beam ends". He assured us thit a horse never tries to run away after this treatment. It appears to us rather a forcible mode, and one calculated cither to kill, or cure, most probably the former. It appears that Dr. Kenealy was defeated at the election for Stoke- upon-Tienb, and this is known to have affected his health Some months since he met with an injury to hiß right foot, and for some time he was confined to his bed. During his recent canvass in the Pottery district bad symptoms again set in, ending in his death. The news of his dicease caused considerable excitement in Sfcoke-upon-Trent, and the suddenness of the event came with great surpriso upon all.
