It has bee/i veiy currently rumvured daring- the pasc fj\7 days that the member for Waikaio, Mr. Whitai»er, lias been offiTed a scat in the Execmive whho»'t portfolio. We ar?, howevei, in a position ftuthoritively to Biai-etlno no such proposal has been oiude. That .be Mmistiy would gladly welcome the member fo- Waiitato to a seat ou the Treasury benches, U no more chan might na^e been expected, but scarcely, we think, as a Minister withoi't portfolio. Speakiusf ft'otu another point of riew, and notauthoritively be it understood, we shall 39 ranch surprised if Mr. Wnitaker accepts office, however warmly it may ba pressed I'poa him. Hia ucceoBion co the ALnUtry woul't be to it a towev of eirength, but apirtfroni other and weighty reasons why Mi\ Whifaker shoald decline office is the fdet ihac be can bcarcoly be isxpec-.ed to accepo thi;> position which woald seriously interfere with the prosoeuaou oi" the first legal practise in the colony. The true position of Mr. Wkitaker, aval the one which, W3 take it, ho will >»o ioui.t occupying, shovily afier tbe opening of the Assembly, will ba that of leader of Jit Auckland uu-'tiib r *r^. Sir George Gey, and Messrs. Rees tud Tole peihaps excooted. And co tell the triuh we luid fat uwuei" see liirn occupying such post of leadership thaa hiding" tvs large and b^aLesmanliKe abili.ies under the o&cial bushel.
