Our Quondam GoverNOR.
(Wellington Paper.) A mosc extraordinary *item of intelligence reaches us from the Cape, to the effect; that our ertswhile most popular Governor, Sir Hercules Robinson, who now rules over the Cape Colony, is by no means appreciated by the inhabitants of South Africa. They complain that be devotes all his time to horse racing and gambling, and entirely neglects the business of the country ; and it is further said ihat bis present subject 3 will be only too glad to see his back, while Sir Hercules only regrets that he ever left New Zealand. After this we shall not be surprised to hear that Hr Arthur Gordon is most popular m Caylon.
