(fkom oik own correspondents.) Wellington, April 15. It is now generally understood that the recommendation was, that his Excellency should send for Whitaker, who was prepared to re-construct the Cabinet. Rumors are afloat to-day respecting the

present "situation" — one being that coalition is not improbable. Sir Geo. Grey will arrive in Wellington to-morrow. The Wanganui Herald positively denies that Ballance is going to offer himself as a candidate for Stanmore, All the leading papera of the Colony teem with abuse the of Governor's action in sending for Grey, and the result of their meeting, which may probably take place to-morrow, is looked forward to with the greatest interest. Judgment for plaintiff in the aggregate of sixty pounds, on the first and second counts, was given in the Supreme Court yesterday against O'Donnell and other Croninville miners, for running tailings on plaintiff's land, and polluting the stream by sluicing operations. Judge Richmond deprecated granting pastoral leases in the vicinity where mining operations were carried on. An extraordinary assault case against a well-known West Coaster, Mary Power — at one time proprietress of the Dunedin Hotel, Hokitika — her daughter Mary, and her son William, who were charged with assaulting one Emily Wilson, employed as housekeeper by Mra Power's landlord. The alleged assault took place during the visit bf the landlord and his housekeeper toJfca Power's Hotel, wjiere distraint for renvfhad been recently m made by the landlord. Mrs Power did not appear owing to ill-health* tod the case against the other defendants 1 was dismissed. Miss Power's share in the alleged assault consisted of "looking oh approvingly," and called the plaintiff a shame-faced creature, while it appears Mm Power merely pushed the woman outside, she having no business in the house. Ohsistohttboh, April 14. To-night's Star says :— " We hear that a cable message has been received by a prominent politician in this Island, informing Him that Yogel is preparing for an early vifrit to New Zealand. The reason assigned is that Sir Julius thinks the present political situation favorable for carrying out, sometime, the favourite idea of his re-entering die arena of Colonial polities." The promoters of the West Coast Railway scheme have received information by cable from Yogel, to the effect that prospects of the application to the London market for floating shares are favourable. AtrcKLAifD, April 15. The Star states authoritatively that there is no truth in the statement that Sir Geo' Grey had communicated with gentlemen at Ghristchurch, that his Excellency had asked him to form a Government, and that he was prepared to submit names on his arrival in Wellington. Sir Geo. Grey did not send any telegram to Christchurch, nor any, to purport stated, to any part of the Colony. A picture by a local artist intended to be exhibited at the Society of Arts Exhibition, has been stolen, and cannot be found. Another body from the wreck of the Vindex has been discovered at Kaipara yesterday. j *,%. , Nambb, April 14* 1 GWat indignation was expressed here at recently telegraphed reports of the prevalence of sickness here. Vital statistics prove Napier the healthiest town in the Colony. One gentleman offers £20 to wards a fund for prosecuting the author of the report. DtTKKDm, April 14.
