We have New Zealand Gazettes published on July Ist and 2nd., In the latter is published the Commission of the Peace for the Colony. A Provincial Government Gazette was published on Thursday.. # It contains correspondence on the subject of the stoppage* of capitation money, and correspondence by letters and telegrams with reference to agricultural leases on goldfields, in which U embodied a copy of the deed of cession of Ohinemuri. < Me Binney informs iis that he will inaugurate: a sale, of; scrip and shares on Wednesday at his Auction Rooms. Thia way of doing business ought to be satisfactory both to sellers and investors, and the auctioneer hopes soon to-be able to have the pleasure of advertising two or more such sales weekly. ; If it be truei.as rumour asserts, that Mr Spencer intends bringing an action against Bennett for. damage done by the latter while occupant..of the Parawai -Gardens, we may see part of the " Ingoldsby Legends" practically illustrated. We refer to the lines spoken according to Mr Barham, by Portia in the " Merchant of Venice— / So down on your marrow-bones, sir, andcry mercy. Defendant and plaibtiS are now. " wice-wersa." The Auckland Star's Wellington correspondent telegraphs the following :— The Post says that private letters state that Sir Julius Vogel has regained robust health, but other letters quite as private, and more reliable, say nothing of the kind. It is pretty certain there has been hot work between Sir Julius: and Dr Featherstone, and very hot: correspondence, so much so that I am told it is very questionable whether it will ever see daylight in the precincts of Parliament. Mr Kennaway, it is said, is enjoying all the happiness which idleness can confer, , while he draws his salary with the punctuality of a civil servant, he does not put a foot inside the threshold of the AgentGeneral's office. Friends of the Ministry beam'with confidence when-speaking of the stability of the Ministry, and hold forth in such a way as to confer an idea that. the Executive nave some secret trump card to play to the House. One never sees a Ministerial hint of any kind in,the New Zealand Times now-a-day.
