Mr Ormcr.d ordered the steamer back, as Messrs Sheehan and Karaitaina were hastening to vote with the Opposition. The dodge is the talk of the town. Feeling1 of SuEemtars. While the feeling of the majority of the present members of the House i 3 decidedly in favour of total abolition, it is believed the voting will be very close on the question of going to the country i efore legislation. The debate on the address could have been much prolonged but for the fortunate intervention of Wakefield, Every member had been taking notes as Sir George Grey had roused a warlike spirit, but Teddy sat on it. - Canards are dear 1.

THE LATEST.

The Opposition Q-aiaiag1 Aee@s»

sions

Government probably compelled to Defer Abolition-

It is understood that Sir George Grey will give notice to-morrow of a resolution for the production of the report or reports of the commission charged to inquire into the alleged improper issue of miner's rights at Ohinemuri, also for the appointment of a committee to enquire into the circumstances attending the acquisition of the transfer at Tauua of the Pokiraraki block?, for the valu ation of the timber leases on the allotment of one thousand acres reserved for the natives of Tairua and for recognition of Prospectors' claim ; also, for the production of all corres pondence and papers bearing on the appoint ment, duties and results of Brisrenden and other native land purchasers north of Auck lsnd. A caucus of Nelson merr-bers of both Houses to-day gave birth to a little pifj It was resolved that a bill for borrowing £50,000 be raised only in tbe colonies. They are to meet the Colonial Treasurer at 0 30 to-morrow. Maags-rs Bridge. Mr Sheehan is to ask, Under what author ity and reason the Mangare bridge is debited against the £GO,OOO for roads and works north of Auckland ? The majority for the immediate abolition is falling rapidly, not exceeding four counted. It is currently rumoured and believed that the Government will reconsider their posi tion, I can assert positively that the Bill will not be carried this session. All Parliamentary obstructions are firmly presented. The Opposition are determined, at any cost, to have the question remitted to the country. The whips on both sides are lashing vigorously.

GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. Ohinemuri Leasing Regulations. The meetißg at Ohinemuri against the leasing regulations did not come off, as the intimation that alterations were to be made rendered it unnecessary.

Mr Stafford and his Constituents. The Advertiser contains ihe following:— "We have good authority for stating that tie paragraph which recently appeared in the Lyttelton Times, respecting Mr Stafford's in tention of seeking a seat for some other con stituency than Timaru, is without founda tion, and was quite unauthorised. The people of Timaru have given n o indication of a desire to change their representative, and, nntil they do so, Mr Stafford will not desert those with whom he has been politically connected for so long a time. There is, there fore, we regret to say, very little chance of inducing him to stand for Grahamstown at the next general election ; although we be lieve that the expenses of the contest would have been locally subscribed and his return would have been certain."

Water Supply and Batteries for New Goldfields.

A water supply for Tairua field is necessary and likely to be undertaken by a private company.

A third battery for Ohinemuri is being arranged for, and a second one for Tairua. Deputation. >

A number of gentleman, introduced by the Mayor, met Captain Eraser and Mr. Tole to day in reference to agricultural leases at Ohinemuri. After a long discussion, it was decided that the present area of fifty acres should stand on the understanding that when as many as possible of that dimensions are taken up, areas of from 100 to 500 pastoral leases over the remainder of the lands will be granted; that the regulation with regard to licensing fee be struck out; that the rent for the period of seven years be 1/ per acre per annum ; the second seven years, l/6per acre per annum; the third seven years, 2/ per acre. It is generally understood that long before the first seven years have expired a freehold can be obtained under the provisions of the Goldfields Act, 1869.

(From our own Correspondent.) 1 his day. Funeral Reform. The Funeral Reform Association shows symptoms of reviving. A meeting of ladies will be held to-day to consider means of supplying mourning costume. The Corporation and the Gas Works. At the City Council Mr Curtis, gas engi neer, of Melbourne to repoit on the suita bility of tbe pi\?Eent Gas works. The Mayor in answer i;o 3. requisition has convened a public meeting for Tbnrjttay to considw tlio gas question. Tlie Suicide at Port Chalmers. On Friday of ternoon, information was given to the police at Port Chalmers of the mysterious disappearance of a young man named Turner in the employ Mr Banchop, builder. lb appears that on Tuesday morning he had a few words with his employer and shortly afterwards left his work, leaving his jumper behind. On Fri day evening his cap was found floating close to the graving dock, but no apprehension was entertained that he had committed suicide. He had, on similar occasions some time back, left; his work, end, after a few clays, was found at work at Tokomairiro. The police, on being acquainted with the above facts, and that the cap had been found, dragged the vicinity of the dock, and shortly after wards, on Saturday, picked up the body, about twenty-five feet from the head of the deck.

New Paper. At a public meeting held in Queecstown, the capital for the establishment of a new pßper, under the Joint Stock Company'? Act, was subscribed. The Mayoral Election.

Mr Beeves writes to the Star that he lost many votes at the Mayoral election by a slanderous statement and a sting of reproach levelled at him to the effect that he was a Fenian ; whereas he is really a member of the Church of England. At an inquest held on the body of Turner, a verdict of suicide while in a state of tempo rary insanity was returned. Kelly, the Auckland Pedestrian.

Kelly, of Auckland, tried his feat of run ning ten miles under an hour on Saturday, but owing to the execrable condition of the ground he was eleven minutes over time. A similar task was tried at Oamaru by young Delaney, who also failed, being six minutes over time.

Wiltshire walked his 250 miles at Oamaru thirty-five minutes under the hundred hours, thus stamping himself as premier pedestrian of New Zealand. If Edwards declines his challenge to walk him for £100, he promises to walk 110 miles within twenty-five hours.
