Sir Julius 7ogel may be said to Lave made the acquaintance of his consti tuency last (Thursday) night under the most favorable auspices, for not only was the Hall crowded from end to end, but he had the satisfaction of carrying his audience with him, and of receiving an unmistakable demonstra tion as to their confidence in him. On the platform were many of our leading citizens, and the ladies were on this occasion conspicuous by their presence, a fact to which the Premier made a most grateful allusion, which the ladies cannot but accept as a delicate compli ment to their political intelligence, while they, in the silent recess of their own hearts, may anticipate the time when they shall rule their husbands from the Senate, and domestic altar alike. Sir Julius Yogel, whose ap pearance was the signal for a perfect storm of applause, stepped on the platform at 8 o'clock. Mr Beaven, on the motion of Mr A. Beauchamp,havino been voted to the chair, in introducing Sir Julius, said he recognised a debt to the General Government in giving Wang»»nui a member. The gentleman about to address them to-night occupied the dual position of Premier of the Colony and their member, and con sidered that in taking advantage of this opportunity he paid us a great compliment in divulging to us what was intended for the Colony at large. Sir Julius Yogel, who was received with loud and continuous cheering, rose and said :Mr Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen — I appear before you this evening under circumstances which I am sure you will feel are very gratifying to me. Notwithstanding the very stormy debates of last session, and the very ex treme feelings on subjects of political im portance which reigned throughout the colony, and notwithstanding the many attacks made upon meduring my absence, I secured in this districb,and in this town which I had never before visited, a large majority of votes and I am here to-night to express to you my acknowledgements.
