FEATHERSTON TO MARTINBOROUGH.
The depuitationi whech waited upon the Min- ' isiter of Public Works' on Saturday did not receive mtucOi encouiragsroemit. It was, in fact, "turned down-" with, almost brutal frankness. The gentleman who controls the piuMic works of thie Dominion, in the meansfaLme, is a paradox. When h*; is sin cere, he is 'apparently most insincere. When he should be expected to speak coimmon-isenso, he talks- whaifc many people regard as ■*he most arrant nonsense. When he ; 6 the most comfortably-disposed himsellf, he has the habdifct of making those who come before him: feel the n'jost unjcomifortahle. He is, in fact, possessed of just- those qualities which people least expect in a Minister of the Grown. The Mairtinbor-ouigh-'depntatdon did not receive any worse treatment than has been received, by other deputations. And bo it should feel satisfied.
