WELLINGTON,

Ihis day. 'The Independent to-day states that the frovernment have addressed a memorandum to the Agent-General, complaining of the delay that has taken place in shipping rail way material ordered.

Also from the same gentleman declining on behalf of the companies to pay anything towards the city water supply. Another letter was read from Mr Jones, pointing out that only two members of the Volunteer Brigade turned out at he last alarm of fire, which showed how little that Brigade could be relied on. On the motion of Mr Hurst it was resolved that the matter be referred back to the Fire Brigade sub-committee before appointed to report on the whole matter. LIGAR CANAL. Correspondence on this subject was read. The Provincial Government stated that they were willing to make the proposed improve ments if the city would guarantee to with draw any claim for the ground. The Mayor said the rents of the property were drawn by the Provincial Government, and they kept it in a state that was a nui sance to the whole city, and in defiance of the Public Health Act.

LATER PROM FIJI.

By the Prima Donna, which arrived from Fiji yesterday, we have later Levuka papers. The news is generally unimportant. A sad accident occurred at Levuka, by which Mr M. J. Solomon, second son of Mr P. S. Solomon, was drowned. On Christmas Day the deceased gentleman went for a bathe, accompanied by a younger brother. After bathing for a short time, the deceased got out of the pond, and, in diving again, it is supposed struck his head on a stone, and so was stunned. He did not rise again. ( Large tracts of land at Rewa and Sava Sava are being put under crop with sugar cane.

A deputation waited upon Mr Thurston with a resolution from a public meeting, re questing the King to annul the present Constitution of Fiji. Mr Thurston replied at some length, and said that with respect to the resolution the King declined to entertain it at all.

The Sydney Morning Herald's correspon dent says:—"ln spite of all the under current ebullitions and threatenings things are quiet at present ; business is pretty brisk ; buildings are rising in all quarters ; Government notes are taken at par by many of the principal storekeepers ; the revenue is rapidly increasing (although hard cash for immediate purposes is short), and there is a great deal of sociality and gaiety. The Law Courts have been pretty busy. The executors of the late Mr Sagar have recovered a verdict against Mr Swanston, the Minister for Native Affairs, for £1198 for the removal of a num ber of Levini labourers."
