Tho Pi emior's edict as to the exclusion of Evbnlno Pos r roprosontatives has been a source of very great concern to the messengers at the Departmental Buildings. An officer of one of tho departments, who bears an unfortunate resemblance to one of our staff, narrowly escaped forcible ejection. He was surrounded by a posse of messengers, and '. had to hurriedly give his name and depart- - mont. Yostordav morning an individual ' entered tho Buildings and went into one of 1 the Minister's rooms, passing, unseen, tho messengers at the doorway. The individual i made things unpleasant for the Minister, ] who promptly had two of the messengers ] suspended for allowing him into the Buildings. He was understood to be ono of the nn- , omployed. After thiß the doors were kept \ locked, and admission could only be secured by mysterions knocks and pass-words, when ft mossengor would look out through a oraok !ind see if tho incomer was of suspioious 1 ippearance. This morning tho suspended messengers were sent for, and after a solemn naming, forgivon. It is understood that the striking off of . the names of persons who did not vote at tho Licensing election is pretty general throughout tho colony, though no official informa- ] tion on the point is yet available. The 1 Dunedin Registrar is following tho example c of the Wellington official. Dr. Fooks' departure to Dunedin, is merely to relieve Dr. Trnby King, who has been given a year's leave of absence on account of his wife's serious ill-health. During this period Dr. Fooks will have charge of Seaoliffe, and Dr. Hurnß f of Mount View and Porirna. Dr. Fooks' many friends in Wellington will be glad to 2 Learn that the change is only temporary. The Chief Commissioner of Railways will j probably join the Ministor for Lands in opening the Otago Central Railway to Moloney's— - to be called in future Rock and Pillar— on ? the Ist ult. Settlers' goods are at present taken up by the ballast trains, and this ar- S rangement will be continued, the Commissioners not taking over the line until it is aompleted as far as Hyde. ' , In consequence of tho Chief Justice being i engaged in the case of Wood v. Wirolrino I Koad Board, tho motion for the release of the deposit of .£2OO in Sir Robert Stout's elcotion case couldnotbe argued in Chambers tc-day. The meeting of the Trustees of the Benevolent Institution wns attended by the Roy. H. Van Stavoren (Chairman), R. Mothes, J. H. Heaton, T. W. M'Kenzie, R. C. Kirk, and S. Lancaster. Tho Secretary reported the case of a smelter from South Australia, who had been in the colony for nine mouth b. There were four children besides v the man and his wife, and the family were 5 quite destitute. The couple interviewed the „ Trustees, and stated that they had only had 0 £3 8s since they had been in the colony, and had lived on the proceeds of what little sewing tho woman was able to do, and by _ selling their belongings. It was resolved to allow the family ront and rations. Some surprise is expressed that the b.b. lonic, which shonld have been at the Capo on 13th April, has not been cabled as having J either arrived or left there for New Zealand.
