In oats nothing has been done. At the auction a parcel \wa.a with drawn below the holder's views. Breadstuff's are unchanged. Large sales of kerosene oil have been made at low prices. Sugars are dull, and unaltered. A parcel of prime Tnew Zealand fetched £18. Bank of New Zealand shares, buyers, £17 10s. | 7". Parliament was opened by Royal Com mission on the 19th, when members were sworn. | The Assembly re-elected Capt McMahon, speaker. The following day the Governor delivered his speech. He referred to the Education Act. Railway construction and water supply works were promised in response to an appeal to the country to introduce a measure of re form. Other measures ar^ proposed, in cluding amendment to the land bill to in lncrease t>e r maximum of area t<* 640 acres ; ttuilih'g oh private property billjj.but post poning the question of revision of .taxation until the question of constitutional reform is disposed of. The Council passed the address in reply. After a severe criticism of the Government in the Assembly, the Government moved an amendment on that portion of the speech postponing legislation for the revision of the tariff. The debate took place last night, and was adjourned till Tuesday. It is not likely to be carried as it is inopportune. The defeat of the Government is only a question of time. A majority of members sit on the Government benches, ybut a -number of those are known as antagonistic to the constitutional scheme. Davies has been re-elected chairman of committee.

The St. Kilda election resulted in the return of Dixon. The protectionist candi dates Williams and Webb running against each other, injured the free-trade cause. The agricultural statistics issued show a considerable falling off in wheat, oats, pota toes, and hay.

Dixon, miller, Wangaratta, has failed ; HaßilitiMb-tw. en £50^000 and £60,000. It is likely Victoria and New South Wales will send a rifle team to England to compete at Wimbledon. A sale of cattle by Robertson Bros., Colac, realised nearly £13.000. The trial of Green for the murder oi Rey nolds in connection with the Greenistreet explosion of gas is proceeding. It has al ready occupied three days. The divorce cage Bishop v. Bishop, wife against husband for adultery of marriage on physical grounds, occupied the Court several days, and has not yet concluded. Two dismasted ships—the Lochard, from Glasgow, and John Kerr, from Liverpool have arrived after being about the coast several days, v I It is rumoured the opposition decline to allow the estimates to be passed until ways and means are stated.

ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

[FROM OTTR LONDON CORRESPONDENT,] London, April. NEW BISHOP ©P WELLINGTON. \ The consecration of a new Roman Catholic •Riahnn for Wellington, which took place at; S Anne's, SpiceSreet, Spitalfields, about. IS since, was rather an imposing; affair St. Anne's is the principal church, n Sand of the Order of Marists, of which the new bishop, g.ggg; cession of f e.J "^ J Archbishop, the church followed by 8 the assistant bishops, anu » w ith deep wearing violet rochets-jgg«Ffß» lace borders, pectoral crosS«», ana In the choir Archbishop Mannmgw throned, and on his head was jtagd gorgeous mitr^one^^SSpa^, all was ready the ArcnuiouvF .^ crook and sat down on a fald stool wwn m back to the altar and Dr Redwood was^ up and made a bow. The regular seUe over two and a-half hours. ■"«> tfa was anointed on the head and J an™. to° ring put on his finger, a mitre of««™,g , gol! placed on his head, and a.crookin W9 I land, and.then he marched through tne

building giving his benediction to'the con gregation. He looked uncommonly hand me».ls a noble-looking fellow not'more than 35, with brown hair, beard, and moustache. At the dinner which followed, given by the Manst fathers, Sir Chas. Clifford; who was present, said when he first went to New Zealand, in 1842, there was not a priest in 5 °r°_y ' now things were very different, and he believed that the new bishop had a grand missionary career before him. _ LEVANTERS TO NEW ZEALAND. It is a somewhat singular circumstance that when people take to appropriating other folks money they, in numerous instances, seem to aim for New Zealand as their ark of refuge. Whether it is that the fact of the great distance makes them think it a safe asylum I know not, but it certainly seems to be regarded as a kind of Alsatia or sanc tuary for the wicked. Two instances of the kmd have cropped up in the papers during the past month. In one case Mr Herman Gfrorer, a clerk, was hauled up for stealing a valuable account book from the Baron de Worms, bankers. I He said he was first going . to New Zealand, and had applied to his em ployers for the loan of LI, 500 to start on business. They had declined to make the advance, and our friend had collared the book as a kind of hostage. In the other oase a clerk, named Thomas COgar, was Committed for trial for forgery Of a cheque for £30, which he said he had done because he was hard up, and was about to go to New Zealand that day with his family. NEW IRONCLAD. The Duchess of Edinburgh is to christen the great iron-plated ship Superb, now build ing at Chatham dock-yard. This monster of the deep will be one of the most tremendous, and at the same time graceful, engines of war afloat. She will have a load displacement of 9,800 tons, and engines working up to 8,000 horse power. Her estimated first cost is £418,000. She is an iron built, broad-side ship, carrying twelve guns. In October is to be launched the Fury, another monster, with a load displacement of 11,000 tons. She will be a turret ship of four guns, with en gines of 8,000 horse power. Her guns will be Woolwich Infants. The Temeraire is another broad-side ship just commenced at Chatham. She is to carry eight guns with load displacement of 8,400 tons, and engines of 7,000 horse power. Her iron hull is to be sheathed with wood. The giant of all is the Inflexible, to be built at .Portsmouth. She will have a load displace ment of 11,000 tons, and engines of 8,000 horse-power, and is to be a turret ship, car rying even larger guns than " Woolwich In fants." At this rate it certainly does not look as if our navy was in a waning con dition, although complaints are being made that it is by no means effective, and that we should be nowhere in case of war. It is said that there are not half-a-dozen vessels fit to send to sea, and that the reckless economy of. the late Government has destroyed our maritime strength for the time being.
