Thtlsay, with and propriety, thatApu, Mr your interest in coast® matters correspondent (a pwedure of contemporary has nett been and thereby - due the many and varied interests, proceedings, and requirements, of this fast becoming very important portion of tha East Coast. Andi agree with them fully also, that the time has gone by whan coastal interests arc to be entirely subjugated to those of your town, and immediate district, and our newspaper repmings condensed into a three line local, or brief ouraory allusion on the back page. Y u, Sir, arc evidently disposed to afford us atnole space and verge enough for the due ventilation of our grievances, when we have any, and setting forth of our somewhat rare jubilations when they occur, —while from tbe altitude of a liberal platform your editorial vision extends somewhat further afield, than that of those who (seeing dimly through ultra conservative spectacles) discern nothing truly outside the amphitheatrio boundaries of their own little town and its environs. For these reasons therefore, and many others not here set down, I, “ Narrator,” predict an increased circulation of tbe Standard in these recently somnolent, but now rather wide-

Thence proceeding southward, sht must have got the full force of the gale somewhere off the Cape, and being rather’ light, would have a lively time of it The s.s, Australia arrived next day, was unable to land cargo, but diaembarl’.'d three lady passengers under Tawhiti, i e., to the southward of the usual landing place where partial shelter from the heavy prevailing sea was obtainable. Our (Waipiro) Maragement Committee has another concert and dramatic entertainment on the stocks, and thr launch is spoken of a» to take place in some six weeks' time. As a merciful critic on the*ast occasion, I trust It will not be promaturf but that every metaphorical bolt will be driven true, and every timber hardened welrup in the rehearsal dockyard, before the Weitrioal ship ie consigned to the riiare magfaim of public opinion or criticism— Verbum tip. From Waiapu I learn lh.at a very pleasant birthday dance has boon heli at Mr Robertson’s popular hostelry. Owing to the very bad weather, however, and th* river (Waiapu) being in freshet, but few of tie many invited guests were able to be presmt, Notwithstanding, a most enjoyabb evening was passed by those who did aitend, the light tantastlo being vigorously ke;6 up '* till daylight did appear."
