LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

WELLINGTON.

(From our Own Correspondent.) This day. •nofimce of Sir Julius Vogel and the ye Four Million Loan.

The Times has considerable news and some coed suggestions. Regarding the four million loan it quotes from a private correspondent who' evidently understands what he is writing about. The extracts says :—" Mr Vogel's ale of the four million loan was most suc cessful, and the more credit is due to him he' had to carry it against the dead weight of the Crown agents. In their case .. as 'Great is Diana of the Epbesians,' and to get the paltiy commission they would have sacrificed the best interests of jf eW Zealand, and have kept tbe colony tied to their apron-strings dolingout half-a-million at a time, and thus preventing your agents going elsewhere, and if Mr. Vogel had not been here the loan would not have been ne gotiated." The Times vouches for the general accuracy of this, and says : "Indeed if we do not greatly mistake the nature of the cor respondence that will be laid before Parlia ment, the attitude of the Crown agents to wards New Zealand will not appear to their advantage. It is fortunate, however, that tbe colony has been taken out of their hands, and that it has now a chance in the open market, the Stock Exchange riDgand Crown agents notwithstanding." Immigration. Again quoting from the same letters with regard to the probability of New Zealand attracting a good class of immigrants the Times says : " New Zealand grows in favour every day, and if there is no great blunder made in the management of the colony's affairs for the next two years you will succed in getting a better class of people from this country than you have hitherto had. Many men of capital are looking to tbe colony as their future home. I have this morning answered a telegram from a gentleman in the North of England who is desirous of going out with bis family. He has capital, and wishes to settle. This climate does not suit him. The interest taken in New Zealand is very general and very great. I need scarcely say however there is much anxiety about New Zealand finance, and this will require close attention." Sir Julius Vogel's Health. As to Sir Julius Vogel's health, the private letters state that bis medical advisers posi tively prohibited bim from undertaking the return journey to New Zealand as dangerous to life, though they say two or three months'rest at Gei man waters will entirely renovate bis health, which hard work has principalis affected. Educational System for the Colony. Amongst the suggestions put forth by the Times, as if they came from correspondents, are first, " The necessity for establishing a Bureau of Education and abolishing various Central Boards." The Educational machin ery of ihe colony \. ould then be under a responsible minister who would be able to conduct the department more economically and efficiently than can possibly be done . under the multiform systems and authorities now in operation. Education is starved in one part of the colony, and crammed in another pait, while it is mismanaged in all. Another suggestion is that the harbours of New Zealand should be made free ports. It would certainly involve considerable ex penditure, but the impetus it would give to commerce would be enormous. Narrow views, however, are likely to defeat any such statesmanlike proposal as this, and those who have their fingers in the very small pies of local bodies charged with the management ef the harbours of New Zealand might be expected to oppose such a useful measure as abolition, tooth and nail. Nautical. Another suggestion is tbat Captain Edwin should have assistance in his valuable ser vices. Another suggestion is the revision of the "New Zealand Pilot," and a local commission is indicated as the most desirable means of getting it. The Absence of Sir Julius Vogel. The letter to Dr. Pollen from Sir Julius Vogel, announcing his inability to return to the colony before .August or Sep tember, was laid on the table. It was accompanied by certificates from Dr. Gaiiod and Sir William Gull, stating that, although free from organic disease, Mr Vogel was so much prostrated by gout and overwork that it would be dangerous for bim to leave for New Zealand and would on all grounds be desirable for him to remain in Europe through the summer, and take a course of German baths. They were satis fied that his health would thus be restored. Mr Vogel complains greatly of his overwork especially caused by his supervision of em igration. Immigration. The returns on this subject shew that Auckland has only received half the number of immigrants sent to Canterbury and Otago during the past two years, and less than Wellington. Amended Representation.— Abolition Bill. A telegram from the Cross correspondent says the Representation Bill will allot five members to the South and only x one to the North (the Thames) ; also, that the financial statement will be brought down immediately and the Government be able to show a good surplus and profit on railways.— Earl Carnar von has forwarded a large amount of infor mation on State forests.—The Abolition Bill is ready, and allocates the land [fund to various districts, cities, etc.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPON-

DENT. J

WELLINGTON.

This day,

The Governor's Speech

There 13 considerable surprise at the meagreness of tbe Ministerial programme. When the Governor read the passage relative to abolition, a smile passed over almost every face, and a suppressed titter was audible among the representatives, who commenced whispering in knots of two or three. The House sat for only half-an-hour. Sir George Grey Sworn. The swearing in of Sir George Grey caused marked interest. It was originally intended that Mr O'Roiko and Wi Katene should introduce him, but on Mr Stafford's request he took Mr O'Rorke's place. The applause from all sides of the House, and the clapping of hands, was long and continued, as Sii George Grey made his bow to the Speaker. The Leader of the Ministry. Sir Donald McLean is holding office as leader of the Ministry, and made the Ministerial statement of the changes, conse quent on bir Julius Vogel's absence, etc. Friendly Attitude of Mr Stafford. Mr Inglia has giveu notice of moving the address in reply. This is recognised as indicating that Mr Stafford will do nothing in opposing the Government, Mr lngli3 being the whip to Mr Stafford when in office, and geneiaily a jackal when out. It is said Mr Stafford intends acting on the hint in the speech, and leading off for total abolition. He is supposed to thiuk that the general current of feeling tends in that direction. : Thames Representation- Mr O'Neill presented a petition from the Thames, asking for four members. A ripple of laughter passed over the House, evidently from ignorance respecting the population of the Thames relative to other electoral districts. Four Auckland Petitions. Mr Swanson presented three petitions. One from Messrs Cruickshank and Co. rela tive to the damages obtained against the Hero by the Customs ; the second, from Mr Theolphilus Heale, asking that he should have a share in the advantages of the ex change of land by Mr Whitaker for other land at the Piako, said to be much more valu able j the third from three DeThieny's, ask ing compensation for losses sustained by them. A fourth was presented from H. Pitts, relative to the penalty of £150, enforced for exceeding time in tbe cutting of Hurst's road across the swamp at the North Shore. Railway at Onehunga- Mr O'Rorke gave notice of question rela tive to carrying the railway down the wharf at Onehunga. Mr O'Rorke Chairman of Committees Sir Donald McLean gave notice of motion that Mr O'Rorke be Chairman of Committees. The Opposition. It is understood there will be no positive action on the address in reply, but the clouds of opposition are gathering. 1 p.m. Foreshadow ings of tho Future. It is difficult to forecast events. Members shake their heads and don't know. It is believed the abolition question definitely raised will be settled on the address in reply. The party of partial abolition seems non existent. All seem either provincial or total abolitionists. It is believed the latter are very strong. It is evident that the question will be pressed before any other business. There is no combination of the opposition yet. The settling of this question will prepare for defining parties. There is not much con fidence in the personnel of the present Minis ters. The debate to-night will be deeply interesting, decisive, and probably brief. Golfidelds Caucus. A caucus of goldfields -members was held to-day on Mr Shepherd's Gold fields Bill. It was resolved nat to pre vent the eecnd reading, but in com mittee to refer it to the Government, as it was not right placed in the hands of a private member. That means squelching it. Mr Hollowly. Mr Holloway, the agricultural labourer's delegate, is appointed emigration agent in the Oxford district.

CITY COUNCIL.

TRAMWAY QUESTION.

A special meeting of the City Council, to consider the |" tramway question," was held to-day. . "Auckland, 20th July. To his Worship the Mayor: Sir,—We, the undersigned, hereby apply for the concession to lay down tramways on the streets of Auckland in accordance with the Tramways Act, 1872, and respectfully beg to submit the following terms and conditions as required by the City Council, and advertised in the Daily Southern Cross, of the 2nd inst. :—lst. That the City Council grant to the undersigned the exclusive right of laying down and work ing tramways in the streets of Auckland for 21 years. 2nd. That the undersigned will bind themselves to lay the tramway from Parnell along the New Beach Road when completed through Custom house-atreet and Queen-street to the foot of Grey-street (and to extend or branch from this route into any other street that may offer sufficient induce ment) and from Queen-street to the foot of Franklin-street when the proposed Beach Road to Freeman's Bay is made. 3rd. The fare not' to exceed 4d from Parnell to Grey street and 6d for any distance beyond those places. 4th.

The under signed to commence the[cons traction of tram ways within 12 months.—We have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient servants, Owen Jones and Co. P.S.—We enclose herewith a style of carriage we intend using."

The following is a copy of a telegram re ceived at 1.13 to-day:—"To his Worship the Mayor, — Street Tramways. Mf. Hen derson just returned from the South. His absence prevented completion of arrange ments. Keamer leaving. Will send foimal offer by first msil with required security if Council grant delay. Plc.se reply.—Chas. O'Neill:" F '

A _ discussion ensued, in which a general opinion was expressed that the terms of the tender were unsatisfactory, as talking in only the level parts of the city. It w. s urged that communication between the suburbs ;aid rhe city was what was most requn.d, ami this was not provided in •Messrs Owe,: .Jo.us and Go's tender. .An 01-jec'.ion was also raised to the length of tbe ntonnpo'y Councillor Buchanan m v>. •:! -nd Councillor Brett seconded "That, no eligible applica tion having been received, considerate v of tbe tramway question be deferred for a period of four months." This was put to the meeting, and carried. It was uinjers'oofl that fresh applications would be advertised for in the meantime, ma WAitDS. The Council then proceeded to discuss the question of wards. The Mayor said that the Act required that a fourth of tbe ratepayers should sign, and on the present petition this had not been done, and many Lad signed twice. The whole of the members spoke on the subject, and i. was shewn that at the present time tbe West of the city bad four members and tho Fast three. It was unanimously resolved that the Council was of opinion that the proposed division was not advisable, and that acopy of this resolution be sent to the Superintendent.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Election of Mr O'Sorke

3 30 p.m. In the Houso of Representatives this afternoon Sir Donald McLean proposed in warm terms the election of Mr O iorke. He spoke of his general ability and faithfulness. JJ^This was seconded by Sir George Grey, who endorsed the warm terms used by Sir Donald McLean.

The motion was succeeded by loud ap plause, and was put and carried gunani mously.

Mr. O'Rorke arose to thank the House, and re fjired to his predecessor in eulogistic terms.

He said the proposal came without any seek jng for it on his part.

GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our own Corresponelent.) This day. Thames Representation.

The Wellington correspondent of the Ad vertiser telegraphs that the Representation Bill only provides an additional member for the Thames. The Advertiser says such a proposal will be resented with indignation. Ohinemuri Regulations.

The Ohinemuri leasing regulations are giving great dissatisfaction, as they are almost prohibitory. The limit of fifty acres is declared to be far too low for hilly country. A meeting about the matter will be held to-night, and an attempt made to procure alterations.
