have not the slightest objection to the Times nsing onr telegrams on the term 3 usually recognised aa appertaining to honest and respectable journalism, we mean acknowledgment of the source from which they are taken. We have on one or two previous occasions had to complaint of our contemporary appropriating o\tr telegrams ' without this acknowledgment. To-day's caae is a flagrant instance. We are accused by the Times of having «• attacked" Colonel Trimble. Until we read the accusation, we had not the slightest idea of having done anything of the kind, and even now we are at a loss to understand how a mere expression of a strong desire to kfiow who wag the person whose name figured so largely in certain telegrams, can be construed into an "attack." We are not in the h.abifc of attacking people we do not know, and sornejpvhom we do know we do not think worth, nttacking, however grievously they err against tlie rules of good taste. Colonel Trimble will probably be pleased, if onr remarks have the effect of stopping the practice of telegraphing his private affairs all over the colony. We were anxious to know who Colonel Trimble was, and we are grateful to the Times for informing us. Taran-aki may be congratulated on such a valuable settler. We suspect, however, that when our enquiry -was made the Times knew as little as we did who he was, for it printed his name indifferently as Trimble and Primble. The N.E. gale which set in yeßterday on the northern part of the East Coast of this island, continues to-day with rain and very rotTgh sea. The worst weather is reported from Tauranga. There appear symptoms of a black northeaster approaching on both sides ,gf the Middle -Island. Ilore, as usual during the of heavy N.E. winds outside, a dead calm has prevailed with mild temperature, rain and thick weather almost to the extent of a fog in the harbor. In the Resident Magistrate's Court this mnrfling, .James Cameron was brought up on remand, charged with rape, and wa3 fnrtherremanded until Monday next. Augustus Yelverton, charged with drunkenness, pro- : rinsed amendment, and was dismissed with a caution. Thomas Reading and Charles M'Oartby, for committing a breach of the peace by fighting in the public streets, were fined 5s and costs. Only two civil cases were set down, and both were adjourned, i iditrnintj that a nnmber of the boys attending the College were desirous of seeing "Pygmalion and Galatea" to-night, Mr. Ho3kins most liberally offered them admission to the dress circle at pit price. No doubt a large ' number of lads will avail themselves of Mr. Hoskins' kindness. Messrs. Shaw, Saville, and Oo.'s ship, the William Fruing, i 3 now 83 days out from London, bound for this port. She brings a general cargo, with four Boloon and three second-cabin passengers, but no Government immigrants. The Lammershagen, with over 400 German immigrants for this port, is now 72 day 3 dnt from Hamburg. The "School for Scandal" did not ( attract % very large house at the Theatre Eoyal'last night, but it wa3 excellently played and gave great pleasure to those who witnessed it. Having frequently criticised; Miss Colville as Lady Teazle and Mr, Hoskins as Charles Surface, we need not do more than say they played as well as usual. The famous screen scene was capital. Mrs.. .Hill as- Mrs. Candour, Mr. Bnrford as 'Sir Teter, and Mr. f Booth "as Joseph rendered efficient support. Tonight f " Pygmalion and .Galatea" and " Black-eyed Sugan." ate to be played, the former for the last time?* It 18 so very excellent a performance thatw;e advise aU, who can do so to witness it. ' ¦ ' r Dr.;Carr, the/- well known phrenologist, lecturer, arid mesmerist, will appear at the Odd Fellows' Hall dnring next week, opening on Monday evening. ¦ ' His Excellencythe Marquis of Normanby has kindly intimated his intention of patronising, and being present at the amateur performance which is to be givenby the Wellington Dramatic Club about the end of the present month, in aid of the Lunatic Asylum recreation fund. The Nelson Mail is justly severe on the remarks recently made by Mr. Joseph Shephard in the Council there relative to the proposed visit of the Governor. We reprinted Mr. Shephard's remarks the other day. The Mail says that in making ( such a speech as that which fell from his lips' Mr. Bhephard did that of which he should be thoroughly ashamed. View it as We t may, such an expression of opinion was utterly inexcusable. In a Justice of the Peace it was most unbecoming ; to a member of ( the Colonial, Parliament it was •disgraceful ; coming from a gentleman of some standing in the place, whose conduct ,and opinions are . calculated to influence others it was deserving of the gravest censnre, and Mr. Shephard ictallof these. There are some men, even in the Provincial Council, who may say whatever they please and nobody takes any notice of their utterances, but Mr. Shepherd is not yet one of them. On the contrary, he has hitherto been looked up to aa occupying a somewhat prominent position among oar local politicians, but if he delivers himself of any more such speeches as that which escaped from his lips in., this , instance, he '^iQ sulk lower and. lower' in "'the, public. until he'-cHsappears altogether, political horizon! We nave re-, ceived several surprises during thejtate session, but none has been greater .than that .jvhich we experienced ( upon. hearing" ''smrh; yorcls' comfagjfrc-msuch'aman aaMj*/ ' SnejMl'ard,' -We had hoped that he was above such vulgar claptrap. Bat he ias 'greatly disappointed Us.'
