The Governor's speech, delivered this afternoon at 3 p.m. was in our office from the. wires within half an hour. The speech crowds out leading and local matters. The adjourned meeting in the estate of Meaira. Forbes & Skeet, will be held in Mr. Nolan'B office on Monday, the 31st instant, at 3 p.m., a further meeting will be held to consider an application for debtor's discharge. On the landing of the Caroline's passengers,? some 200 in number, in Wellington, they were subjected to a good deal of adverse comment by the "crowd on the wharf." The New Zealand Times, says that as one of the " new chums," a young man in the prime of life, and apparently in the best, of spirits, passed from the veaserto the wharf he received a greeting from onß of the onlookers that must have strfiok him aa being of a particular character. " Excuse me, " said Jthe Wullingtonian,. who appeared to belong to thp class of "uiilSmplOyed, "but did you pay your passage out here ?' 1 The new ax-rival looked at hyn^for a few seconds somewhat severely, their smiling replied, " Well, it is a curious question to come from a stranger* but, as I don't" wish to be rude upon such an occasion— well, yes, I did ; haye you anything to say to it ?" " Only," retbrrod-ihe Wellingtonian, "that the best' thiiig that you can do, " if you can raise the money, is to pay for your passage back again as quickly as possible, for there's nothing before you but starvation. This Job's comforter took his pipe from his mouth, expectorated against the ship's side, and passed on, while the new comer looked after him, and ejaculated, " Well, you iirfe a cheerful card, you are." In fi, circular to the registrars of electors Mr/ Urider-Secretary Cooper says : — " I am ftoxiinpress on you that this provision (section 6) is of the utmost importance, and was clearly intended by the Legislature to expedite the preparation 1 of the rolls, and to make these rolla when compiled as complete as possible. It is, therefore tfa© duty of each registrar, no, only to receive such applications for registratiou as may be made under tne 7th clause, but himself to place on the roil the name of every peraon of whose qualification ho has any.merfns, by inquiry through the public or (itherwiso of satisfying himself. It is ' for this, among other reasons, that the police have been instructed to afford the registrar's every assistance in their power." One -<>f the. members of the Masterton Boritafefr bouAeil has an eye to economy, it seems. That local body recently ireceived a bill .for burying dogs Is per head. The Cun£fl«r in question expressed his astonishment at the. charge, and remarked thaij in place of paying that amount they might ihavereceived.it by taking the carcases to the shop of Councillor , vrho ' carries on business as a* butcher. The Datiu says that its reporter bad his life sowbtt -eW niniie then by a man who follow* .fate atottt carrying a clever m one hand a zinc pail in the other. '1 he inhabitants of that place Bhould watch for the disafnaearence of dogs and newspaper repor^ewt and religiously abstain from sausag&B ibr at least a month after any auch event.
