AUCKLAND NOTES.

FROM OUB BPJBCUI, COHBKSPONDENT. v Auckland, Friday.,, "Cutting Down." , Owing- to the little, dutp whick #p %£* vincial Auditor has to do, it is a matter^! pleasure to learn that it is the intention of the General > Government to amalgamate | the office with another department > Tko salary is £300lper annum'with little or nothing to do^ If » aimilar mode>of procedure; were '.the Xfepntj Registrars Stamps, Bivil CJommitiiontr and anumhef of other .heads ment here, the public expenditure could be considerably reduced in this province' 1 Cniaagein tie Editorial Olwii' The Herald has got'another editor over Mr Berry. The 'reasons which hare necessitated the change are pretty well known. During the last twelve monfchi the principal leaders written the. g«n.< tleman who has just severed his connection with the Herald were of such a character as to considerably, ielp the' Optx»son, and. as, a consequence diminish the'in* fluence of 'the Government. 5 GoTernmeat Appoiatmoata. " Dr. Pollen," writes my private corj» respondent at Wellington, "is about doing something for Charley O'Neill and Creighton, but cannot make up his mind in what direction. Some members of the Cabinet are afraid of doing it before the flections are over; whilst- the others are in favor of the appointments being made now, but not gazetted. This would no doubt secure Creighton's: writing.up the Government party ; my own impression is the thing will never be concluded, {fdr obvious reasons, and I may hazard the principal one, namely r the danger [ p£ iSiJ: George Grey enquiring into the matter I when the Parliament meets.. I wonder what is the next surprise movement the Government will set about to cast oil os the troubled breakers which are showing everi'now on the political surface." ;
