(From a Correspondent of the Times)
WELLINGTON, Nov. 8.

The first question which the colonists generally
ask on the arrival of the English mail is, " What is
the price of wool ?" To many that question has
been sorrowfully answered during the past few
months, very heavy losses having been incurred by
the increased depression which prevails in the home
market for this staple article of our produce. But
the appointment of the new Governor has, never-
theless, been the more absorbing question lately. A
newspaper telegram by the Suez mail informed us
that the coming man was to be Sir G. Boiven,- of
Queensland, and subsequently the following de-
spatch was received via Panama :

" Downing-street, Aug. 22, 1867.
" Sir,—You were informed by my Despatch, No.
37, of the 18th of June, that you would shortly be
relieved from your duties as Governor of New
Zealand, and that you would be apprised of the

THE nivrAs 0t717M0.E5.

The Morning Star reports that the autho ies are in
possession of particulars of a conspiracy stroy the -
Atlantic cable. Military and naval reinforcements half
been ordered to all the forts on the Lower Shannon, to ' ,:7
commanded by a field officer. Military have also been
ordered for Mitchelstown. The martello towers at Kings-
town and Sandy Cove, near to Dublin, have been rein-
forced by marines from the Royal George.
The same paper gives the following details received by
telegraph of the extraordinary affair at Cork :
" Dublin, Monday Evening.
" The latest telegrams from Cork state that at ten
minutes after nine, while Mr. Allport, gunmaker, was
inside the counter, his nephew and shop assistant being
in the shop, eight men suddenly entered, advanced on the
Messrs. Allport, producing each a revolver ready cocked ;
presented them at each of the shopmen, and stood motion.
less. One of the assailants, a tall, young-looking man,
well dressed, of military bearing, and good address, still
holding his pistol presented to Mr. Allport, said, in a voice
which had a decided American accent, ' We want your
revolvers, sir ;' and then, turning to the nephew and the
shopman, continued, ' Now, gentlemen, we do not intend
offering you any violence whatever, but if you offer any
resistance to us we will certainly shoot you ; so remain
quiet for a time.' While this affair was being enacted
another of the band, after coolly surveying the contents of
the shop, proceeded to scan the revolvers displayed in
the window, upwards of sixty of the finest construc-
tion, and varying from. six to twelve chambers.
The stranger jumped up on the window - board,
the contents of which he proceeded deliberately to select.
