••Woe to the Vanquished." Captain Russell's motion has been carried in the j House hy a triumphant majority, ami the North Island has lost over a quarter of a million <>f public works expenditure. Wei- | lington rampant has become Wellington I couchant, and the Poxt, which only the ! other day talked in a high, moral tone of j the necessity of malting any sacrifice to ! defeat the East, and West Coast rail way vote, now groans piteomly at the fate which renders that sacrifice necessary. Of | course the "poor working clasps" are | the sole object of the Poxts solicitude. i Wellington never thinks of thinking «>f | itself in these matters. The Empire City can live without the seat of (lovernment. : So at least we were told the other day, but now because the further waste of public money upon a few useless lines of railway in that district has been put a stop to the Post recoils in pious horror?at the thought of the dreadful consequences which are to result. Wellington is to be : forthwith plunged in tin? deepest depression, and even the credit of the Colony is to be shaken to its foundations. All this is very sad no doubt, but the saddest < part of it all is* beyond question the dem j olition of that splendid temple of railway progress which Wellington has been at such pains to build up during so many years. The great fault in the architecture of that temple seems, however, to have I been that it only had one pillar to support I it, and hence the facility with which it ' was overturned. However, though the j temple is in ruins, Wellington may yet ; take heart. In a day or two thu supple- ! mentary estimates will l>« under r"ii- I sideration, and th«n will bu th^ iinr; f ><• providing attainst all th««e du-;i/if'il <•'. iU ■ which the Post can see ahead. Wu \tn->t L 150.000 out uf the temple, and this turn- j c^ded, Wellington may see all its votes ; restored. This is the first time in t'iy history of the Colony that the S >ut!i Is- j land has had Wellington's head in chan- ' eery, and the punishment is not going to be done with gloves. j Wi! publish this morning " Ada Man. | tua's " annual programme on the Melbourne and New Zealand Cups. "TVaz's" tenth grand drawing for £4,000, consisting of 320 prizes, took place ' in the presence of a number of subscribers and the first prize, 1.3U0, went, to a storekeeper in Colombo street, Chri;-t<;hurch.

The fourth prize, LSO, to luvoicargill, and the fifth prize, LSO, to Nelson. In another column we publish the announcement of "Boaz's" eleventh drawing, which is now open. Mr F. Archer has, we are gUd to sco, lost no time in arranging for tho re-erec-tion of his hotel, recently destroyed by | tiro at th'i Landing. A contract has bean j let to Mr W. Dunn for the ereuti.ni of the new premises, and the work will be carried out with every dispatch. The n w building will bo a very handsome, and commodious one. Dr Pollen's pension is again before Parliament. Tin* doctor has put in a claim for pension for three years from 1873 to 1876. In 1873 he became ent tied by length of service to a pension of £418 par annum, but as ho was Colonial ReoivUry at the time he waived hi* right to it till 18"fi, since when he has enjoyed it. ' i Th«- 1 matter is now being considered by the i'aVln. M.o'Uu Committee. '
