At the dinner given by the employees of the Wellington Gbb Company last night says the Times' the Hon Mr'Pharazyn, in returning thanks on behalf of the Directors, said that he never entered into society, and beyond attending the annual dmner of the Company, scarcely ever went out. However, he thought that next year he would not he, present He had beer in the colony for many years, and hud worn a blue shirt frequently, hut now he was afraid that he was going to don a red one, and he hoped' if he did that the employees would come on the hill and pay him a visit. He. did not make these remarks in a jocular tone, beoause he thought matters looked very serious. He thought perhaps the best way to get out of the difficulty would be to place him in one of the large furnaces belonging to the Gas Company and get him cremated at once.
