On the 17th instant tho Advertiser pubjished what it w:is pleased to eall n "first notice" of the ,, ileport of tbe AuJitūi- Goiu:ral," m whieh Mr. Eoss was sonndty 'abused in detail for dif fermg with the ex- 3īinister of the In terior »ud thegeneraī officinl po)icv of tho late Reforin party. On the 19th ii)staat the Same paper published.its ' sf'Cond notice" thereon, and, with its usuaj inconsistehcy. raildly cotifessed that tho Auditor-General was rig!it.
