ME. YOGEL AS SUPERINTENDENT OF AUCKLAND.

Discussing the probabilities as to fclie next Superintendent of Auckland, the Evening Star says : — The name of Mr Yogel is also mentioned, we know not on what authority, in connection with the Superinteudency. We do not think that the late Treasurer to the colony would accept the position or step into the shoes of Mr Gillies after having been despoiled by him of his top boots. Mr Yogel, we apprehend, has higher ideas than that style of thing, and the Ministry does not present that certainty of tenure that will quench the ambition of Mr Yogel. It is needless to s*y that as Superintendent he would be the ablest that ever stood at the helm of our provincial affairs, and though partly from jealousy of success, and partly from that fear wl»ic}i incompetency ever has for brauis, there has for some time been a run on Mr Yogel in this district, we believe these ephemeral and paltry feelings might not weigh against his sterling ability. Mr Vo gel's administration was dropped on just at the moment whenit was temporarily baffled and had assumed an aspect of confusion and disappointment ; and accordingly to those who only look through the colored spectacles of party, and to those again who can see no further than the length of their noses, the policy appears a failure. Mr Yogel will ere long be again in power, and we should be sorry to see him descending to the Superintendency.
