Tlie Bangoowangie and l)ar<vm cable of 1879\was suddenly interrupted lalo' on Monday evening, about ninety miles from Baii(;ofcwangie; the repairing steamer Agnes Was being got ready noxt day lo start. (The old cable of 1871 is reported as worlnua perfectly. A meeting of the directors of the Tatatalii Daily Company was held on Monday. Present—Messrs W. Booth (in the chair), lieynulds.vFrancis, and Wolters. Advices were received from the N.Z.L. & M.A. Uo. that tlii cheese sent to London by the local company had realisod Gfd par lb, and that tliat sent to Sydney had reached per lb, Wt for the latter has to be allowed 2d daty.

Twoitons was also ordered to be sent toNapifer, The resignation of the Secretary (Mr Rupert Fairbrother) i was laid before the doctors, and Mr fl, H, Wolters was appointed acting secretary We clip from a leader in the Stanford the following criticisms on Mr Culqman Phillips' latest effort at notoriety:— " Looking to the whole disclosed fiefs of the case, it is impossible to avoid] the conclusion that Mr\Phillips has Deen guiliy of making certain grave accusations against Messrs, Booth, M'Gregor, Buchanan and Bunny\the greater portion of which lie can neiihW substantiate nor justify. Mr Phillips talks in a very foolish, childish, and riJioulous manner, when ho tries to male out that Mi I Buchanan, Mr Bunny, Mr McGregor anc Major Atkinson liavo all Been engaged in an infamous conspiracy agiinst the public interests in so manipulating t] le railway tariff charges,, as to Becire 'that.Mr Mr Booth's timber should b\ left alone.'' But wlnlo Mr Phillips thus hits out viciously, ho is loud in complaiut if he is hit back again, The Daily recently assailed Mr Phillips on the vefy topics tq .which we have alluded, and administered a rather sovore caatigation, \Ve do not like the articlo in question because it iJ too personal and spiteful; but, tieverlhc4 less, sowo of its assertions about IMr Phillips wore to a certain extent deserved, and that gentleman need not cry iut for sympathy. If Mr Phillips will &o on making all sorts of groundless accusations against other people, ho must oxpcct rough treatment by way of reprisal, ;It in just possible that with a greater experience of public life Mr Phillips may becomo more just and generous, in his judgment of the motives and actions off other people, For his own sake, we! sincerely hope that this beneficial charigoj may be brought about. If it should not be so, then Mr Phillips will liavs a troubles mo time of it, and his life will be the vu\y reverse of a happy one. They tell of Mr Olapp, who las formerly engaged in coaching enterprises, how he picked a driver. He had advert tised in the Melbourne papers for a drijret to be employed in a sister colony. Thugs' were dull, and some twenty chariotfras Jehus applied in person. Most of than were quickly disposed of. Only two wife j left, One was a tall, straight, wiry youig fellow, frank of speech. The first tjid invariable demand was, " Let me : So your hands," The candidate showecia pair, well tanned and ill-used. Ifeeily scanning them, said the omployer, "Whjt two fingers broken, how's that?" "I'|e had a good deal of pulling about, sir. wih) youngjiorses" '• Havo you ever had r capsize?" " Oh, yes—several," "Ev had your brake give way goin? down hill!" " Yes, sir. I'm sorry to say. A oidentswill happen," "Have jtou eve had a runaway f "Never, sir," "Jus so—stand aside a moment." And the] the last man presented himself. E answer to the inevitable " Show me you] hands," he Bhowed a pair, smooth, s)ft] with straight fingers. Mr 0, jußt glanseq at them, and said—' 1 Has your coach ever broken down?" " No,sir." " Have jou evor turned your coaoh over going down a hill or otherwise 1" Answer, " No, ar," MrC. (sharply)," What, have you nejer had a serious accident?" " Never, rir, I've been very lucky." " Well," io the man's surprise, "you won't do for mo.; I want a man that has had his accidentsat someone else's expense, Davis you c)n come on to-morrow."
