WELLINGTON, August 29.
-In his official report on the Victorian Exhibition Sir James Hector attributed to Mr Witheford, of Auckland, the credit of inspiring the condemnatory articles on the TTiini-npr exhibits from New Zealand which appeared in the New Zealand Eera\d. The Premier last night received... the following cablegram from Mr Witheford t->----"Am not the author of telegram imputed to mc by Sir J. Hector.. I, as the authorised representative of the large mining interests in New Zealand, deeply regret that Parliament and the.Press of the "country have,been the mediums for promulgating serious rejections on our mining negotiations in Australia. In justice to the goldaelds community, I beg permission to lay before the House this unqualified contradiction of Sir James Hector's statement regarding myself and specimens of the quartz supplied by the Companies."
