LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Importation. — By the Dolphin the splendid horse "Bolivar" arrived in fine condition, and was landed in perfect safety. He will no doubt prove a great acquisition to the District ; and we congratulate the importer, Mr. Ferguson, upon the success, so far, of his spirited enterprise. Our Advertising Friends must really be good enough to excuse the omission, from our last, of several columns of advertisements, which appear in this issue. We were obliged to exclude them from want of space, and the lack alike of material and labour to get out an extra sheet. We are however making such arrangements as will not anly effectually preclude the possibility of such a circumstance again occurring, but will make the ''Herald", what it ought to be, a good reading journal. The Nomination. — On the day of nomination we were enabled to take a few rough notes of the speeches delivered on that occasion, and to give, therefrom, an outline for the benefit of our readers. With reference to this outline, or abstract, Mr. Purvis Russell has chosen to assume that, because we did not give a verbatim report of his speech, we must necessarily have substituted our own language for his. His letter being couched in terms that do not permit of its insertion in our "open column," we have placed it amongst the advertisements ; and have, in carefully preserving his own language, not forgotten to preserve his own punctuation. Voting Papers for either of the candidater, may be had at the office of this paper. With reference to an objection that has been printed at this office, on the ground of the name cf more than one candidate having been inserted in the form, we may state that this is what is popularly styled "bosh". The doubtful in this matter may refer to a file of late Wellington papers, where they will see a notification signed by the Principal Returning Offiicer, actually expressing approval of a course that had been snggested to him — that of having the names of all the candidates in one paper, and requesting electors to erase the names of those candidates for whom they did not intend to vote. The Vessel at Torr's has not, after all, been purchased. Mr. Morris requested us to intimate that he had no concern in it, and, on enquiry, we cannot find that any one else has. We can . only say that the statement was made in our hearing by a person who ought to have known whether or not the facts were as be related them.
