dowed out nothing in the shape of a com. plete scheme of local government. He de fended the Government against the charge of having done nothing, stating that during the present session they had only hod twelve days for transacting Government business 111 all parts of the colony. Abolition had met with universal acceptance, therefore the statement that provincialism was looked back to with regret was wholly without foundation. Sir George Grey's Bill set forth prorincialism in its very worst forms. Centres of population were to ba endowed with the waste lands of the Crown, which simply meant that there wa3 to be nothing given to the mora remote districts. When he heard one member prescribe one cure for the disease, and another prescribe another care, then he could not help thinking that there was no disease at all.. The statement that the proposal for openiog up Crown lands by pntting a corresponding price on tie land would stop tettlcment in the North Island was completely refuted by what had actually been their experience in that reipect. The fact was that unless their bush lands were opened up in that way, they conld not be sold at all. The principal of their proposed Public Works Board was no new principal. It had been in operation for a long time in Great Britain, where it had oper ated mo-t satisfactorily. The objection that the fund provided for the local Public Works Board would be too small, would be met in this way. The various applications would he restricted to a specified amount each year, for each local body sufficient to allow them all to participate. That was the course followed by Great Britain under a similar system. He would like to know what colonising powers the provinces pro fessed before abolition. He instanced the case at Wellington. The outlying districts were perfectly paralysed, and_ had not abolition taken place the inhabitants must have left those settlements altogether. It they went to the country, he asked what scheme of local government they would go upon. Mr Ormond had proposed nothing. He concluded by saying that the proposals would do-more to advance colonization than anything that had yet been heard of in the House, • , I-.- ■

Mr F. A. WaiTAKER wanted to know what was wanted to be achieved. Suppose the amendment was, carried, the state of matters would be no better than, it was at present. Sir George Grey would not waive his scheme in favour of the scheme, to be brought down by the mover of the amend ment. He had no doubt, after what Mr Ormond stated last session," that this would be the outcome.. What Mr Ormond wanted was not local government, but the repeal of the property tax—a tax which bore on him- Beli rather heavily. He had not informed the House how he proposed to raise funds for local government ; purposes. . Then, again;' Mr'Sauriders-had !told them he proposed to double the property tax, where as Mr Ormond had already said that the tax as it stood was a grindiug tax. How, therij'could Mr Saunders follow hinririto the lobby.?: The speech delivered by'Mr Ormond was one of the most selfish ever, delivered in that Qousa. .He had proposed to sell the''Crowri lands to get quit ot the grinding taxation of the property .tax.; There was no. fresh taxation proposed, so that it must have been theprpperty tax to. which he'referred. Then, again, he pro posed to sell the railways. _',- Ih_ fact, he. would ' rather have seep anything than this property tax, which touched him and ' his ' friends!. so heavily. 'Ho 'did riot1 dow propose the sale of "the Crown lands arid the sale of railways,1 becau3e_the finance'pf the country had been brotight into, a satisfactory'state 'by the .Government coußequently his plea for' these sales had gone: Nothing daunted, however, he still desired to see the Government ousted, and with that view he now made his plea pf local government- : He would irath'er meet an honest opposition than the false friend Mr Urmohd had proved to" the Government. He further quoted.''from Mr Ormond's speech list sesßiori to show that Mr Grrriond was tljen in favour of rating the Crown Lands. Such being the case, the opposition he now showed to tha'Biil before the House was in direct opposition to' his sentiments on t^fti occasion. He' quoted, further from his speech to show that trio Government pro posals were'otherwise in unison with .Mr Ormond's expressed Views, last session, Mr .Saunders had Deen agaia before.them in,' hia !bld r character—that of a heavy father.' The fact was that, with one or two exceptions, 'all'the bounties had' brought the whole Act into force.' That of; itself was Evidence, to his mind,.that the counties Bystein wan' acceptable to the colony as a whole. Tbeywere riot bound'to bring the Actiato operation, and haying done so of their.oWri freewill was evidence that they were satisfied with it. ; Years ago Sir J. Vt>gel bad told them that provincial, cau cuses' had cost the.country a million and. n-half of money. He had been told that «K<.=.o o<v«<.~.»» jiyTr,-V"K-i«;;aenieq." that they existed in the force and effect they had done.. Abolition had , modified these' :evils-- to :l'a very,,great extent, and" :he was' 'hopeful that eventually they 'would.disappear, altogether. " CoIoneITRIMBLE reviewed .the proposals of the Bill in connection: with the native lands rating.' These lands'we're intersected by loads. Who was' to pay for these roads ? Was it the properties at both ends? Cer tainly not. These lands, .were largely berieiitted by these roads,Vand ..of course they should be made to pa£' for that/benefit. The Bill simply acknowledged .the principle' affirmed by.the Houseover and ]overagaiu -^that the landibenefitted;'t)y'r6ad3'!Bhoul p d. be made to pay their maintenance.. It was absurdthat these lands would ",be .eaten lip. bylthe tax. The"tax could riot exceed jtwo. shUlirig'sper acre.- Where, then, could the confiscation come in ?

.■.-■ I vi'TJHE DOTREL 'DISASTER.\, nj , : , '■. Commander Evans, of hor Majesty's late ship. Dotrel, Who arrived in London on the 28th. May, hasi.presented to tho Admiralty' an official report on the loss of his vessel, in which iho says that, I, whilst ho was in his bath, about ten a.m., on 26th April/ho'heart'a report as. if a gun had; gone of& i He-theri 'says' :-^T immediately went" Into the fore-cabin, the starboard, side; and: on looking forward saw that.the ship's side was. burst open In the starboard gangway, and that, the upper deck-in; that part was'forced up, twisted and Iwrenohod about, and the water i rushing in, the ship at once heeling over to star board. A short time after'the first explosion (about twenty or" thirty seconds, as far as I can judge) there was another and muoh more violent explosion, shaking the ship heavily, and which- I am convinced was the explosion of the fore magazine. Everything now became darkened with smoke and debris, and I felt that the ship was. sinking, rapidly. On turning round I saw the sentry getting out of my embrasure port.: I then told my 'Stewart, who Nvas close tome, to jump out. ;I then got ont myself, jumped into the water, and caught hold of some'wreokage. I think I must have been suoked down by the ship, as I do not recollect anything nioro.until I noticed that the ship had disappeared,'the water covered with wreckage, and afew men clinging to it, and boats coming to our redone. 'I do not think it'could have . been more than three minutes from the first explosion unfa the ship sank. The explosion was so sudden and de structive that it was quite impossible to lower any boats, even had there been anyone to do so. The few that escaped, being abaft the mainmast, saved themselves by jumping overboard. I fancy the greater number must have been lulled by the explosion and.falling debris, as I did not hottr a cry or groan. As regards the first ex plOßion, which occurred in the starboard gang way, I think it may have been caused by. the bursting of the boiler, as before we could con dense good, water'it was necessary to .brine the boiler well, on account of- tuo mineral oil used In the cylinder, the: ship having.surface con densers, and it is possible that the -water may have" been allowed .to get too low in the boiler, the crowns of the furnaces exposed, and on cold water being pumped In tho boiler-burst. If this was not the case, I think it possible the coals in the starboard bunker may have been heated and generated gas,and caused spontaneous combus tion. If neither of these circumstances occurred,l am at'a loss to account for the first explosion, as there were no'combustibles stored in .the star board.gangway, and there is: little or no doubt that tie "shell-room, NordenfeltTGatling, and gun-cotten magazines did not explode, all of which were abaft'tho mainmast." As usual in such circumstances, a .court-martial take place immediatelyi* and Commando* Evans is meanwhile under arrest atPortsmouthj v ;">; t -.

THE FREE I'CHljkcH' OF^SCOTtAND.

There is great indignation all over Scotland on account of the decision of the Free Church Assembly in Professor Robertson Smith's case. Wild sohemes of secession and of stopping the supplies; by withholding contributions to the Sustentation Fund are being talked of, both in the north and in the south. Professor Smiths friends held a public breakfast on 28th Mar for the purpose, first, of expressing sympathy with him, and, secondly, of counselling and encourag ing their.sympathisers in the Church. Their resolution fe to stick by the Free Church, and fight-out the battle there.' Defeat has not daunted them, while,the injustice they have Buffered. has increased their, determination to peisererfe. until.the iwrqng. has ;been : righted.- J^ knowledge, J toq, ; that,thQ..risi»g generation,

' of the Church is mainly on their sidegives them hope that a favourable iasue Is only a question of time. The adoption of thus polioy is due ' mainly to Mr Robertson Smith himself, who, in his speech in the General Assembly on Thurs day, earnestly counselled his friends to remain loyal to the Free Church. Dr. Walter C. Smith said at the breakfast that Professor Smith had saved the Church from ruin, which her so called leaders were about to bring upon her. A mass of people were waiting for such a decision as the signal for them to drop away from their Church, but the Professor's speech had pre vented that threatened exodus. The flag, there fore, is not to be hauled down; on the contrary, it is to be nailed to the mast. The Rev. Dr. Whyte said that he could not agitate this ques tion of historical criticism in the Church. He would rather hold his peace about such ques tions and work them into his ministry—that Ib, by preaching in accordance with Professor Robertson Smith's principles. Professor Lind say, of Glasgow Free Church College, ivas still more explicit. He gave tho Church notice that "he took hia stand on the critical position." He said that "in everything that Professor Smith had said about prophecy, except one point, reading it in his own way, according to his understanding, he agreed with him."

SUPREME COURT.-Yesterday.

CIVIL SITTINGS.

{Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

Jane Crawford v. Charles Edmund Johnson. Claim £100 for defamation of character.—Mr MacCormick for plaintiff, and Mr Laishley for defendant. — Our report of this case concluded yesterday with the evidence of Francis Crawford. — William Allen (plaintiff's lover) was the nexi witness examined, and with him che case for the plaintiff closed. He said that he had been engaged to be married to Jane Crawford in December last. The marriage was fixed to take place in May last. He had hired the billiard-room from Mr Johnson on the same terms that he had had it from Cuptain Dawson previously. When he heard the statement aboxit the plaintiff having had a miscarriage he broke off the engagement with her. —Mr Laishley, in opening the defence, said that the position of the matter was this: The defendant had just entered upon the conduct of the Royal Hotsl, Captain Dawson having been the pre vious landlord. In the correspondence re lating to the change Mr W. Cumming, the brewer, had brought under the notice of the defendant the conduct of some of the ser vants. It became, therefore, a part of "his duty to inquire into the character of Jiis servants. Mr Cumming spoke of a rumour "thatthe waitress, or housemaid, which ever she might be, had had a miss." The, defendant naturally inquired of Captain Dawson, the previous master of the girl, as to her character. Hence the question put to him. Inquiries of this kind were held to be privileged by law.—Mr W. Cumming was examiued , with reference to the relations which existed between himself, jCaptaih: Dawson, and the defendant.— The defendant was examined in regard to the general position of parties in connection with the tenancy of the Royal Hotel Mr Cumming had said that the on-lookers at the hotel had noticed the'plaintiff during her passages between the cottage and the hotel, and that she appeared stout. It was this question heput to Captain Dawson— whether that was true? He never used the language attributed to him by the plaintiff, that the girl;Crawford had,gone home.to have a miscarriage. He. simply wanted to be satisfied that the girl was a proper ser vant.—His Honor in summing up left it to the Jury to say whether the alleged, scandal had been a privileged state ment or a malicious libel.— Even if trie • verdict should be for the. de fendant there would be no reflection upon the girl, because every imputation of im proper conduct on her part had been .with drawn by the defence.—The jury retired to Consider their verdict at 5.55, and at 8.55 had not'agreed.—His Honor, at 9 p.m., sent for the jury, and the Foreman said the jury were agreed all but one dissentient. — Hia Honor.read the 156 th clause of the Juries' Act of 1880, and informed the. Fore man that if three fourths were agreed and there was no ■ probability of a unanimous verdict, the^ verdict of-three fourths' could be accepted under the Act.—The Foreman asked for five minutes for consultation. This.was granted.—The jury then" retired, but immediately afterward returned into Court, and a verdict of three fourths was taken to'the effect that the statement was made by the defendant falsely but' hot maliciously, In effect, therefore, the ver dict was for the defendant. . •. :':: •.;':

Mr Howard was chosen foremnn.-Mr E. Hesketh, in stating the case to the jury, said that bo far as his experience went in that Court, it was a somewhat unusual and singular one. It ■ivas-a suit brought under the equitable jurisdiction, of. the Court to .get a deed recti fiecb'.in' accordance j with the; agreement! by virtue'of which i; it had ! been made. Mr-Edward CosUey wasan old; resident of the city, and, being possessed of a conßiuer able amount of wealth,he' lived upon. Ms, ineana/ '' He was upwards, of 80 years, of. agej'ancVnb'one but himself to transacthis business.,, - With . respect to this action he was the'owner.'of: the piece" Of land in Queen-street, upon which were situated the Union Company's premises and: Quigley's cooperage. He leaned it in October, 1865, tp:the'late MrChas.,Davis, fora term of 25 years.commencing from the Ist of January,' 1866, and expiring in December, 1890.- For the first five years he. was to, .'receive an annual rent of £312, and for the remainder of the term £416 per annum. This lease remains, 'and was still in force. Mr Davis 'dipd-'seyeraryeafs ,ago, and Mrs,Davis, Iheua widow,,applied to the defendant and succeeded in. obtaining, a lease for ten (vests I', to" commence * at",,the expiry of tnetfiratterm, andto he:at the reduced jkent'of £312 per annum.1 Not,; however,1 •I until' this action was begun was the defend BaSt'aware "that : this latter lease was to 1 commenee^at the. expiry of-the other one, jior that the annual rent aftertbat time -was 1 t6'»n'dergo a reduction trqm £416 to '£312,; 1 Hendwfloaghttoflave the deed reformed ' nhderthesecircamst^nces. "That the Tent : if-first jiraa.'£4l'6;per'; annum,' and, that,.he subsequently agreed, to reduce it for 6vei •' years only to £312' per • annum, viz., from 1871; to' 1877," as young Mr Davis, was,com ing out from home to start in business, here. Application.waslafterwards made forborne reduction iof 'the rent in consideration -of sdmeimpfovements having been'effectedjto; the property., ~He,;agreed to...a,reduction ' from i £78-: to. £65 for one I quarter only. Fi?om; that time/^ ' however,';: he ; al-' lowed ;the quarterly rent to remain' at, 1 £65 and never demanded: the £78 to which he was entitled. The first point of differ ' ence'betweeh.;thej 'parties1 atoae'fjn the'lst, July, ;ißßo,,;wheh,.the plaintiff received his last payment of £65/ It was his custonrto have his receipts prepared •beforehand, and on this occasion he had, by some mistake, made ontrthe receipt for Mrs Lewis's rent : for £56 instead of £65. Thoerror was not noticed,at'the. time inasmuch as he received £65 upon'the'receipt. Mr.llughea paid^ife At the commencement of the. following quarter Mr Hughes, called again], and ten dered £56' in payment. The plaintiff informed him that as the receipt had been made out for £65 it would hare to be altered from a receipt in full to a receipt for £56 On account. Mr Hughes subsequently brought him a deed, which he signed, and it was until recently that he knew, that this deed bound him to give a ten years' lease,of the Queen-street property after the expiry of the twenty-five years term and that from that time he was to accept a reduced rental of £312 per annum. Not until recently either was he aware that he had "given a receipt for £56 in July 1880, but he knew that at that time he received £65, so that it was obvious the mistake" was a' clerical one on his part. The deed he had signed without comprehending its contents, and the purpose of the present action was, to"'haye■■'it rectified.-:Mr\, Hesketh \ then" proceeded to call evidence.-— EdwinrCostley, the plaintiff, deposed.

He i had known Mr Hughes from the first, and ■ placed confidence in him. Witnes, how ' ever, had not instructed Mr Hughes to pro j pare this deed, and had not been aware > that it was being prepared. -Before that 1 deed waS produced he had never heen asked i to take £56 per quaftet'ifor rent, nor to Bl J itirn«iO xiw '-■-; htii-.i-'-.iiA ai *^'l'in X-x-jul) .Idmac-J :k, cut.l itvr.i ■.■.:&

hiake any further reduction from £65. They knew that there was no use asking such a thing, as the rent had come so low t'jat they were getting more out of the pro perty than he was. Mr Hughes took away the deed with him and did not leave him so much as aline to inform him of its nature. The next quarter's rent fell due on the Ist of October, 18S0, and when Mr Hughe3 called to pay it witness had a receipt for £65 prepared in readiness for him on pay ment of the money. Mr Hughes, on opening the receipt, said that he had £56 with him, and witness therefore altered the receipt accordingly and took the money, (Receipt produced). The receipt for July was in his handwriting and was for £56 only. He could not account for the mistake in any other way than that in making out the receipt he had inadvertently inverted the figures £65,f0r he was certain that the amount he then received was £65. The receipt for the following quarter's rent was made out in the usual nay, viz., for £65. After he had altered the receipt in October. Mr Hughes told him that £56 was to-be the quarterly rent in future. Witness treated tho remark as a joke. Mr Hu«hes then said that his statement wa3 right, and asked witness if he would believe it upon seeing his own handwriting to that effect. Witness did not reply, but thought it would be curious if he could do it. Mr Huehes went away, and soon returned with the July receipts and the new deed. He had to admit the handwriting, but upon thinking over it he could make nothing out of it. Mr Lewis joined them, and witness then tried to induce them to consent to the deed being rectified.' Mr Hughes told him that it had been registered and could not be altered. Witness then said that he would take advice upon the matter. He did take advice. On.the 18th of October, he ' received a copy of the deed, from a boy in the street. This being ; the plaintiffs case, Mr Edward Lewis was called for the defence. _ He said that' for many 'years he had paid to the plaintiff Mrs Davis' (now Mrs Lewis') rent. -, The reduction of rent in 1879 from £78 to !£65 was made, not for three months, but for two years, as the premises: were then unoccupied. Witness wrote out a memo, to this effect on the back of the receipt, and the plaintiff signed it. (Memo, produced.) In: April, 1880, when witness was paying the quarterly rent the plaintiff expressed bis fears that: the Property Tax was going to be very heavy. Witness told him not to trouble himself about that, as if he would make a reduction of the rent they (the lessees) would undertake to pay the Property Tax, whatever it might be. The plaintiff said that he would see about it later on. Some time afterwards (in June) witness called upon the plaintiff and offered to pay the Property Tax, what ever it might be, on condition that the rent' was redrice'd to £56 per annum. [His Honor remarked tuat at that time the amount of the Property. Tax bad .been fixed, and was publicly known.] The plaintiff once more said that he would see about the matter. Subsequently witness met him in the street, and he then agreed to the reduction. In July following witness accordingly paid only£s6 for the quarter's rent,- and obtained receipt for that amount.. •'. - .•■;'' , (Left sitting.)';

Tho item £68 for.salaries, included wages, rent,! valuation, and fees to auditors. £14 charged for; commission was charged from last ye»r, and the' sum of £25 was due to the Secretary. In answer to a further question, Mr Warren said the money borrowed from Mr Sims waa for 18 months, at 8 per cent. Some delay was caused by the preparation of a statement of liabilities, which when presented showed the amount to be nearly £500. The report was' adopted, after, Some disouseion oa the motion of Mr Barrett, seconded by Mr Holmes. An amendment that the accounts "won't be passed" was moved by Mr Campbell, . who..■ characterised Dnblin etreet as a "stinking" thoroughfare, and the Board as a rotten one, and nothing bettar than a clique. It was however not seconded. The speaker, in answer to ques tions from the body of tho hall, said he was willing to put his name down as a trustee. Mr Moulden Baid he h»d worked at his street by ■moonlight and candlelight. It was Agreed on the motion of Mr Stevenson, seconded by Mr Bevan, that all moneys over £1 be paid into tho bank, and that all accounts over £1 be paid by cheque, that the seller of dogoollars make, up his accounts once a month, and the receipts be deposited in the bank. Mr Stevenson also 'moved 'that the trustees do not exceed -their receipts for tbe current year to a greater sum than £50, without first obtaining the sanction of the ratepayers. The motion was seconded by Mr Warren. Mr Garrett referred to the un fulfilled promises made in regard to Pitt-Btreat. People had promised large contributions and had given little or nothing. Mr. Burns, for instance, had promiaea £100. ' (Mr Burns: -I deny it, I did not.) The Chairman had also promised some nioney. It was stated that the total amount contributed towards the making of the street was £26149 6d.-Mr Bevan said he had never kept a farthing out of the mosey he (had collected.

EXPECTED DEFEAT OF MINISTRY

[FEOM OUK SPECIAL COERESPONDENT.]

P AVELLINGTON, this morning.

Mr Ormond's motion ot Want of Confi dence in the Ministerial Local Government proposals, last night, came in as a sort of thunder-clap upon the Honse and bids fair to be carried by a good majority. The following is a list of members con. sidered certain votes for it: Andrew?! Ballance, Barrow, Bastings. Brown, Colbeck, DeLatonr, Fisher,. (J.B), George, Gisborne, Gtey, Harnlin, Harris, Hutchison, Hurst, (Otago) jone3, Lunden, Macandrew, McCaughan, McDonald, Montgomery, Mobs, Murray, ;Ormond, Pitt, Pyke, Reeves, Reed, Richardson, Sannders, Sheehan/ Shepherd, Shrimski, Speight, Stevens, Stewart, Swanson, Taiaroa, Tawhai, Te Whero, Thomson,Tole, Tomoana, Turnbull, Wallis, Weston, Wood, Wright. This makes 48 for the motion of Mr Ormond, so far as can he guaged. Besides there are the following doubtfuls :—Allwrighl, Bowen, Finn, Levestam, and Shanks. It is very generally considered that the defeat of the Govern ment is certain, though the debate may extend over some days. ~, ,

LATER.

Majority Of\Five Cqlclated Upon.

THI3 AFTERNOON, 1.5 p.m.

There is a good deal of discussion over the no-confidence motion to-day, and the Opposition calculate upon a. majority of from sto 8. In addition to the names I previously telegraphed as considered cer tain may be mentioned Hurst (Auckland), Gibbs, J. T. Fisher, Levjstam, and Shanks, while it ia now considered thiit Stevens is doubtful. Driver has not yet Arrived, and at least one other vote will depend on his. It |is expected that the. dissolution, will .take place in a fortnight, and! a! new election in six or weeks, and fresh parliament to meet in two months. . Mr Oimond's supporters wish for a division at once, »nd at present do not intent to speak if possible.

ltis currently reported in the lobbies that the; intended tactics of the Government Svere to drag through the session, then get defeated on the Representation Bill, and go to the country, relying on the support ;of Canterbury and other provinces whose representation would be increased. Mr Ormbod's amendment has disconcerted them, and it is doubtful if they would now ask-tor a dissolution, which the Opposition earnestly desire, as it will bring their great issue of real Local Self-Government pro-: minently before the people. Wooing Doubtful Votes.

: Three Ministers, I am assured by reliable authority, were in Colbeck's bedroom this morning before ho was up, trying to secure hia vote without Buccess,. and it is known "a large" number, had i:Mr *Weston in another room for the ; same reason, but it is believed with equally bad success. A telegram has just been received, from Mr Driver saying he is ri^ht for Mr .Orniond, and will be up at once. ANOTHER DEFECTION. I Mr Seddon, who it was thought would go with the Government on the No-confidence Motion, has given in hia adherence to Mr Ormond.

(FEOM ANOTHER CORRESSPONDENT.)

The feeling of the Grey Party.

' WELLINGTON, this afternoon. The Opposition connt on forty-three, cer tainand probably. forty-Beven. The-Go verniaent confess to being.at present in a minority;^ bnt hope to gain over doubtful votes ot traverse Mr Ormond's amendment. : The Greyites are swallowing Mr Ormond and the ."Middle Party mneh against'their will,:-and only in tho hope of establishing forever the great principles of popular gov ernment foT which they are fighting. I Mr Moss told me that he would follow the devil himself to gain that, and others are toe same. They say that they are sick of the talk about administration, which two Ministers could So better than seven, and half a dozen menbers, better than eighty. They want the political liberty and personal independence of thi people secured for ever, Xbey-YVitet'pinrliomtut i»f t»rwards deduced to half the present number, and th'eJ depaart niehts in Wellington reduced in'proportion1. 11 This is what my informant says he calls | P GreyisrA," and I aba*bound to Bay;,'tn'ey. seem earnest enough'about it, .1 iiev^er saw a parliament in which there was more.' daring or more good temper' and ' less 'self-; seeking. They are ready to follow anyone,1 and legislate on ° anyihing-barmaias,1 lawyers, licensing ■' benches,- " elective- Justices of the Peace, and pensions are all treated-..- with a tree hand. If one hears of meu intriguing for office, it ia., generally, some ambitious, wealthy member,1 '-seldom 1 one that is not rich.*." The.lobbies are foil; and.all; is ;life;. and stir about the house, iam asked to say, don't believe half the rumours that will reach you. They are circulated intentionally, such for instance. *s the rumour that Mr Sheehan would hot vote with Mr Ormond. " ' :" • '■' ■ ; Sir Geo. Grey will vote with Mr Ormond, though I am told he will not take part in the debate. I it is uncertain how Mr Swanson will go. Messrs Wood and Colbeck are likely to Vote with the Opposition. Mr Hurst is.not yet here, but it; is hoped he will rise superior to Ministerial blandishments Which are being freely exercised.

MINISTERIAL CAUCUS. ' A Ministerial caucus was held to-day, but no tesolutiou was come to. It was geuer4lly considered by them that defeat was certain, and although Ministers iecliued, at present, to\ state their inten tions, it is understood by their paity they will reßi'gh if defeated. \ • ' \

The Feeling of the Ministerialist Party.

(From a Correspondent^

i !:' l;;w'EL:LiNGTON,thiß::afttabbi'' i Ke Mr Ormond's amendment,;^, post:, tion is simply this: Messrs Omond, Driver, Bastings, and Co. want direct taxation abolished in order to save Urge 'properties, and-ttiey conceal this undei the 'disguise of afdesire for restored provinial ism. The Opposition of a legitimate naiu-e seize the opportunity of Mr Ormond s deic tion, to npset I the Government. Tie issue is this:;. Shall the Governmet of the country fall into the hands of I weak heterogenious party.to work the salt of Crown Lands and railways'jtyidn Mr Oi^ niond's speech last year), and repeal directV taxation-it they can, or shall a strong Go vernment have a chance of completing financial and administrative reforms. The division.; will probably be dose, • but if the-Government was on^ this side issue they will afterwards have quite as large a -majority on general questions as formerly. The Government held a caucus to-day. The meeting was .! well-at tended,/,there were no ; absentees except, of course Messrs Ormond, Wood, and Bast ings wi(;h Mr Driver away. The resolution t6 fightithe matterout to the last, and con fidence:,:of getting ;.a majority were very strong. j' i No one can tell yet what the result of the division will be, although, I think,'a small majority : for the Government. Deputation is;:very keen as to what Mr Ormond and Sir George Grey can do to gether. Sir George Grey hates Mr Ormond, .atidOrmondhates i Grey,,bu,tSir t Ge.orge,Grey, w far the strongest, and'it'is thought likely he will relegate Mr Ormond to a position of obscurity iv the end, if the attempt is suc cessful.. I will wire when the nnmbera are definitely known. The debate will pro bably last two or three days yet.
