and tho Government could not sco their way to outer on a question which was so completely settled. Dr. Pollen replied that the question of his pension had been re opened in Parliament under conditions humiliating and painful lo him, and he was made to f car and to feel that, oven long and sufficient actual service might not protect his interest if his claim could be rendered void upon purely technical grounds. He KtJds : _" It is for this reason, and to en deavour to put my claim beyond the possi bility of doubt or cavil, that I havo ventured to address you.'' The letter thon goes on to show that, 'including provincial services, ho (Dr. Pollen) had nerved the fifteen year.' necessary to qualify for a pension, when in 1873 having passed the age of sixty, be re quired to retire. Ho reiterates his claim to payment, for tho years already named, the question having beon ro-opencd. Mr IJicl. replies refusing to reopen the subject. Dr. Pollen then asks for the necessary f acil ities to obtain a judicial decision upon the question, which Mr Dick promised. Tho two closing letters are the intimation and acknowledg ment of notice from Dr. Pollen that ho lias abandoned his intention of seeking lega. redress, hoping time will lead Ministers to take a moro favourable viow of his claim.

Tho "Lords" are Indignant, The iudignation of Legislative Councillors at being left without a full-blown Minister in tho Upper Chamber has already found vent Tho Hon, Mr Waterhouse yester day gave notice to move :—" That in the opinion of this Council it is essential to tho working of our constitutional system, and to the efficiency of this branch of tho Legis lature, that the Government of tho day bo represented in the Council by a Minister holding a portfolio."

Pure G-'Og Wanted,

Mr Levestam has given notice of his in tention to bring in a bill for bottor seen ring the purity of intoxicating liquors. Local Government Proposals. A good deal of conjecture has been caused liv tho statement in the Governor's Speech that the property tax will be repealed and tho land tax handed over to the local bodies. How, thon, it is asked, will the annual deficit in tho revenue be made up . Ono rumour which comes from a well in formed source is that the proposed local go vernment reform means something boy on a the transforof additional revenue to the local bodios. In point of fact, the cost of educa tion and other charges is to be thrown on local taxation. There appears suoh in herent probability about this report that, apart from the excellent source from which I obtain it, I am disposed to give it credoncc. Two Government Whips. As an indication of the divisions among tho Ministry, I learn that Sir Julius \ ogel has appointed Mr Walkor whip for his own followers, whilo Mr McKenzie, of Mocraki, has beon appointed for the entire party. This looks like an anticipation that tho two sections may not bo together for long. Crowning tho Auckland Rat. Tho presentation of Mr Buckland's .arlet hat with the insignia of a rat on it took placo yesterday, when a number of Auckland members were gathered together to enjoy tho ceromony. Mr Bucklaml tool: a favourable opportunity for crowning Mr Morris, who treated the matter as .. joke, and removing the hat put it into his pocket. Profit and Loss of the "Bunny." Some interesting information is given in a paper on the rabbit nuisance. It appears that tho Government last year spent i':.,SSG *n destroying rabbits. Nearly 4,000 ferrets were liberated, chiefly in Marlborough, and 4 S7_lbs. of phosphorus wero used for poison ing 9,892,341 skins were exported, their value being £100,677, and 414,358 acres of Crown lands troubled with the rabbit pest remain to bo dealt with this year. Native Officers' Reports. Tho reports of officers in native districts aro generally favourable regarding the con duct of natives.

Queensland and New Guinea

A batch of interesting papers narrating the steps taken by Queensland towards tho annexation of New Cuinca were laid on the table yesterday.

Mr Ormond and the Government,

It is understood that Mr Ormond is dis satisfied with the Speech, and probably will not support the Government.

Criticism of the Spoech.

The Speech seems to have caused gonoral disappointment. Somo Otago and CantorJ bury members are dissatisfied with tho proposals re land tax, and want to know what the limitations of the tax will be One Auckland member being challenged for an opinion on the Speech, said he could never stand plum pudding, and the dish oflered was very fuH of plums. '' Yes," responded his interlocutor (a Taranaki-ite), "but I'm afraid thoso who try to cat those plums will find very large stones in them." Otago Members Divided. A caucus of Otago members was held Yesterday with the object of healing differ ences and gaining a ground for joint opera tions, but failed in its object, five or six dissenting from a resolution submitted, and the meeting broke up without any result. No-Confidence Motion To-day. It has been arranged this morning that Mr Thomson, of Cluiha, who has hitherto been counted on by the Vogelites shal move, and Mr Hatch, of Invercargill, shall second the no-confidence amendment on the theAddress-in-Reply.Unlesssomealteration occurs before the House meets, that will be the course followed this afternoon. Auckland Drill-shed. Mr Buckland has waited upon Colonel Reader re Major Shepherd's refusal of the Drill-shed for the Flower Show. Colonel Reader promised to inquire into the whole question.

LATER.

GOVERNMENT SUPPORT DWINDLING AWAY.-DEFEAT CERTAIN.

I find positively that thero is no truth in the rumours thatj Messrs Fraser and Cadman would join the Vogel party on Capt. Moi us getting a seat in the Cabinet. They will lota against the Government. Two certain defections from the Ministerial side are re ported in consequence of the Speech, and fvlaior Atkinson notified Mr St.ut this mo-ling that he would oppose the appoint ment of the Committees which were pro posed yesterday. There is blank dismay in the Ministerial camp.

Otago Members and the Speech.

I learn that at the.Otago meeting yester day members passed a resolution asking- Messrs Stout and Macandrew to come and explain the Speech.

Corrupt Praotioes by the Ministry. A prominent Legislative Councillor has been heard to declare that if a proper Bribery and Corruption Act existed, all the Ministers ought to be indicted under __.

Tho Opposition Whips. Mr Hirst, of Otago, and Mr Wilson, of Foxton, are the Opposition whips. Rntranca to Auckland Railway Station. Before leaving office Mr Mitchelson signed a proclamation under the public Works Act, taking a street 33 feet wide to continue Commerce-street to the Railway Station through the harbour reclamation leasehold. This stcpis rendered necessary by the exorbitant demands of the leaseholders, a continuation of the street having by an extraordinary oversight beon omitted in laying off tho reclamation. It is absolutely necessary to carry the traffic from the sta tion. The street should have been 66 feet ,wide, but negotiations opened by the Go vernment with tho lessees of allotments, failed to secure the land on reasonable terms, and it is only proposed now to tako S3 feet. The No-Confidence Motion. Mr Grig may second the amendment to the Address instead of Mr Hatch, it being desired to get a Canterbury man ; but this is not certain. Either one or othor will do it, Mr Thomson has agreed to propose it, The Goldflelds Members. At a meeting of members representing the West Coast goldficlds constituencies -today, general discontent was expressed with the Governor's Speech. An endeavour was made to get them all to vote to gother on tho party question but it was resolved that each should vote '<« he pleased. Three are believed to be with the Opposition and two with the Go vernment; but most likely all will go against the Government. Resolutions wee then passed for the abol tion of - the gold duty, the reduction of miners'rights, and mitigation of other imposts affecting mining. ,

THE LATEST.

THB NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION. Wellington, 3.56 p.m. Mr Thomson, of Clutha, announced that he would move as an amendment on he , Address-in-Reply, "That tho Government: as at present constitutod do not possess the ! confidence of the House." .

After writing oil' j-IoG Gs Od (balance of preliminary expenses) the remainder will be carried forward.

Some strange disclosures may bo ex pected when the caso of Gibbons v. llibbon.s comes boforo the Supreme Court next month. Tho suit at present is for judicial separation, but in a few days it may be altered to an action for dissolution of marriage. In Chambers this morning Mr E. Heskoth intimated that an allegation of adultery on tho part of respondent (l-beiie..r Gibbons) could bo established.
