PER ANGLO-AUSTRALIAN PRESS TELEGRAPH AGEHCY.

Wellington, This Day.

The flood in the Hutt river has forced out of position a concrete protecting wall of the Hutt railway 130 feet long 14 feet high. It will have to be rebuilt. The other damage is confined to a few culverts.

The death of Admiral Sir William Wiseman is announced in the Australasian. He was in charge of the JNew Zealand station during the last Maori war, and afterwards, with two other British officers, took charge of the Turkish Navy in the Bosphorous. He was subsequently appointed Admiral. * The rain fall here during September was eleven inches —more than double the average amount for the same month for the last ten years.

Mew Plymouth, This day. The weather here on Wednesday was terrible. The rivers are higher than has been known for years. There is a fearful surf in the roadstead; not a boat could leave shore to communicate with a steamer.

Major Atkinson has addressed his constituents. He was warmly received, and a unanimous vote of confidence was passed. He said the scheme of the Ministry was for a Central Government. He considered that Otago and Canterbury should not be abolished so long as they were in such a good financial position as at present. (The speech generally was very hopeful in tone.) Aucklakd, This day.

Afire occurred at Mrs. Waters' farm house, Papatoitoi, which destroyed a large two-storey building. It was insured in the New Zealand office for £600, and the Norwich Union for a similar amount.

Geeymouth, This day. The Waipara was safely got into the river this morning. She is little damaged. The flood is subsiding.
