The practice ol the Wellington City Council in connection with tenders has been to publish the successful tenderer only.

Sooner than silffer interruption by those who did not know how to behave, he would adjourn the meeting. There were, lie added, no such interruptions in the capping ceremony at Auckland. The student's oased up just sufficiently to make it appear as if neither reverent signior aor irrepressible impudence had made a complete surrender.—Post.

One member ol the House, at any rate, does not agree with the statement put into the Governor's mouth by Ministers (hat "conferment and happiness obtain everywhere " Seconding the Address-in-Replv, the member for Masterfon, Mr Hogg said that might be the opinion of some people, but he Was afraid His Excellency had not been in some of the places that he (Mr Hogg) had visited not so very long ago—(bat he had not seen some of our settlers struggling in (he hack blocks, with roads and tracks thai were almost impassable ; that he had not patronised some of the co-operative camps where labourers are jo be found Uving in tents, and often sleeping on (he cold toil, facing the most rigorous weather and working under (he most disadvantageous conditions He was afraid that His Excellency had not attended sonic of (he meetings of our Benevolent Societies when relief had to be given to the poor creatures suffering in many Ways from want or he would have formed a different opinion, and would not have said 'con(cutment and happiness obtains everywhere.''
