The ' Daily Times,' of the 29th ulfc., says : — " As an instance of what we may expect at the hands of the paternal Q-overnnient at Wellington we need only mention that, according to what we learn from the telegrams, the Ruahine arrived in Wellington on Wednesday, and that the Phoebe, which had been waiting (save the mark) for the Soathern mails, was to be despatched — when ? — not an hour after her arrival — not that day even — but on the following day. Good enough toj, we suppose, for such, as compared with the Metropolitan City of Wellington, insiunificant places as Christchurch and Dunedin. What is the n^ult? A fierce S.E. gale springs up, and she dius not leave unt : \ to-day, so that it is probable we shall not get our advices from home until Monday. A nice commencement this. Will the Southern provinces stand it ? We , think not.
