LATEST SOUTHERN NEWS.

WELLINGTON.

This day,

A long debate occurred on Monday night in the Provincial Council on the motion of want of confidence in the Executive, moved by"Mr Andrew. The chief burden of the oDPOsition speeches was that the prosperity of theprovince wasalmostsolely due to the rise in the price of wool, and scattering of borrowed money broadcast throughout the colony m consequence of Mr Vogel's scheme of public wosks, and that the course pursued by the Executive over the audit warrant and finan cial management generally was not straight forward, and was calculated to bring the pro vince into disrepute in the eyes of the colony, whereas the conduct of the General Govern ment has been most open and liberal. Mr Hunter, who defended the Provincial Executive, maintained that the Supreme Court had decided that the Executive was right and the auditor in error. The debate was adjourned. Pour of the Golden Sea sailors were sentenced to three months for broaching cargo. Several immigrants are implicated, but were let off on account of having large families. There was insufficient evidence againßt the other sailors. Mr Andrews' hostile motion to the Pro vincial Government was defeated by a majority of three last night.
