POLITICAL RUMORS.
(Special to the Herald.) j , WELLINGTON, this day. "No doubt," stated Sir James Allen to your 'correspondent, "the report in this morning's newspaper to the effect of my intention to retire immediately from the Cabinet was inserted in order to create dissension. I have given no indication, that it is my intention to retire from the Cabinet, nor is it my wish to do so as long as my services may be of use to the Government or to the people. In the difficult times which we must face in the aftermath of war it seems to ntc -I bat personal, wishes must be put aside,- that; 1 , everyone, -V politicians ; and,others, should render, whatever service they are capable of to'bring about peace, I contentment, and prosperity. The sug--) gestiort that I aih intent upon becoming the leader of a new political party is entirely tfeitboUt foundation. There ( appears to be a very general feeling ■ throughout the country that every effort j should be made to secure a strong Qov^ j eminent, and with this I am in entire' : accord."
