THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Wellington, this day

The House to be Further Adjourned. Tiik Ministry finally decided yesterday to defer the swearing-in until after the moot ing of (be Houtio. Sir Julius Vogol con suited with Major Campbell, Clerk of Parliament, on the subject, and with Major Atkinson, and the latter agreed in ask For a flirt her adjournment till Tuesday.

Tho lato Ministry have been busy during the last few days clearing out pigeon holes and preparing for their departure from tho offices.

Sir Julias Vosel to Reside at the House,

A room is being fitted up in the Parlia mentary building which Sir Julius Yngel can occupy all day and take his meals in, as Mr Stvanson did the lir.-t soision sifter his accidenl. Mv Stout to ho Chief .Vnttcio- It is currently rumoured here that Chief Justice Prendcrgast, now in England, will probably vacate that ollice, and that, Mr Stout will bo appointed to it; Sir Julius Vogel then assuming tho lYemiorship of ■Ministry. . .

Rough on Rata.

Mr Buckland has bought a gorgeous scarlet hat with a rat browsing on a green leaf worked in while wool on the side. The purchase was mado as a snilablo pre sent for the Auckland member who accepts tho vacant portfolio.

A Minister " Wanted.

Nothing has been done yet. in this matter, though friendly attention in the lobbies is directed towards Mr Guinness, ono of the fivo mombers for tho Wost Coast, who was expected to arrive to-day. His attitude is considered of moment in Iho uncertain condition of mind among tho West Coast membors hero. Tho Minister of Miuos. The appointment of Mr Macandrew as Minister of Minos has caused dissatisfaction among the goldiields members. They say that Mr Rolleston knew something about mines, but failed to pay them sufficient at tention ; but what can bo expected from a Minister who knows and cares nothing'; Tho Now Chairman of Committees. Mr Hamlin's prospects of re-election as Chairman of Committees have decidedly improved during the last few days, lie has received a largo amount of personal sup port in quarters where he scarcely expected it, and now holds assurances that warrant him in believing he will win. The doubts thrown upon his acceptance by Major Atkin son as tho candidate for his party wore not substantially grounded, and at present there is every likelihood of Mr Uamlin's being put forward by Major Atkinson with all the support of the Opposition if Mr .Steward is proposed by tho Vogel party. Preposterous Canards. In f!io prevalent dearth of news, false rumours and wilfully-concocted lies aro current, and half your special's timo is occupied in silting out their origin and proving their falsity. I iiml that other specials havo not taken the same trouble, and various fictions havo been published. Feasibly one which was current yesterday afternoon may have reached you, to the oiiect .that a " scene " had occurred between Sir ireo.UreyendMr Macandrew,in which warm words passed. There is not an iota of truth in the story. Mr Macandrew, though now pronounced convslcrcont, is still confined to his hotel, and the la=t meeting between himself and Sir George Grey was a friendly personal visit.in which the kindliest feeling ivns expressed on both sides.

Major Atkinson and Sir George Grey,

AH sorts of rumours aro also industriously circulated about abortive negotiations be tween Sir George Grey dnd Major Atkinson. "These are equally untrue. Both leaders are working with their own parties inde pendently, and if a division is taken, will go into the same lobby to put tho now Ministry out. You can rest assured that there is no doubt of that, nnjoso there .are altogether inconceivable changes in the "situation. . It is considered }mpruden*. by the principal men on bulb sides to risk complications between the two parties by attempting just now to change the character of tho present independent friendly alliance for tho attainment of the fibjeet upon which both arc agreed, THE NEW PREMIER. The Government steamor Hinemoa will be Kent for Mr Stout, and on his return the Ministry will bo SM'orn in. .Major Atkinson holds ollice meanwhile.

MEETING OF THE HOUSE TO-DAY.

VVr.LbisiiTO.N-, this day

The House met at "2 p.m. to-day. A message from the (lovornor was read, informing tho House that he would in person attend on Tuesday, 10th, at _ pun., and inform them of his reasons for calling Parliament together. Major Atkinson than moved the adjourn ment of the Houso until Tuesday at 2 p.m., which was agreed to. Tho Speaker announced that Mr Gilbert Mair had been appointed interpreter ir. place of James Carroll.

Canterbury Chuckles over the Ministry.

CheiS-CHURCH, this day,

The " Lyttelton Times" this morning Bays;—"Tho new Ministry is not only a fact, but a great fact. The various ap pointments represent fully the great fitness of things. Sir Julius Vogel, as Colonial Treasurer, brings to his work the reputation of the greatest Colonial Treasurer this colony ever had. The Stamp Department is an important element in our finances, and could not have been well entrusted to any other keeping. As Premier, Mr Stout is a connecting link between two component elements of a now great party, and as Attorney-General is, moreover, in the right place. If there is ono thing more than another which Mr Montgomery has been identified with, it is reduction (?).; and the Colonial Secretaryship, though not usually Iveld by a man who has made his mark in the Opposition, is well placed in his hands.- Mr Macandrew has in previous years, by his great interest in the land question—in the question of ' the land for the people earned his portfolio of Lands Mr Ballanee will, from what we know of him, make a good Native Minister. He is known to bo against injustice and extravagances of all kinds, and to bo in favour of straightforwardness and friendly jus tice as the basis of the management of native affairs. Ho is, moreover, known to have mado a deep study of the whole native question from tho earliest time to tne present. A specialist is necessary to any Government like this, which contemplates a radical change in the management of colonial railway.. Without a specialist, any such change must be disastrous. Tho only real railway specialist in the House is Mr Richardson, who, for that reason, is a strength to tho Ministry. Sir Cleorgo Whitraore lias always done his Ministerial work well, and will no doubt do so again. Ono portfolio is still vacant, and will m time—we hope soon—bo filled in the North Island interest."

DOXEDIN, this day. A Warning Voice From Otago.

Tho " Otago Daily Times " says _:— "Bounce carried tho day. By keeping together and leading Sir Julius Vogel to believe their party is much stronger than it really is, tho members for Port Chalmers and Akaroa havo achieved a preponderance in the Government. We give them credit for having shown great tactical skill in tho execution of this manoeuvre. They have made tools of Sir Julius Vogel and his followers, and intend to drag them at their chariot wheels. Wo cannot say wc feol much pity for tho North Island. Had the good folks of Auckland and Welling ton played a less selfish game, Sir Julius wouM have certainly formed a Ministry of a vory different character. It -s thoir bitter opposition which has forced Sir Julius into the arms of Middle Island members. Thoy wanted to havo everything their own way, aud the result is we are to have overythmg our way. It serves them right; but nono the less we regret the unfair, preponder ance. The Ministry are hopeful that things will not turn out as they look now. me Ministry can hold office only so long as they retain the confidence of the moderate party. If they venture on any extreme measures with which the names of Messrs Stout, Ballance, Macandrew, and Mont gomery are associated, thoir tenure of oflice will not be worth an hour's purchase These have got the upper hand nominally and numerically, and wo shall not be surprised to find they aro satisfied. The power which keeps them in oflice will be tho votes of men who have little sympathy with extreme measures, and who, in accepting what they term the 'bitter pill,' openly avow then support to bo reluctant and conditional. The Ministry will only hold office on their good behaviour. It is understood that Messrs Montgomery and Macandrew are indifferent as to the measures which may bo

assooiated with their names as long as they 1 enjoy the triumph of forcing themselves on the followers of Sir Julius Vogel. The greatest danger looming ahead is extrava gance in administration. With the ex ception of Mr Richardson, there is not a careful man in the Government. Although we havo not concealed the | feeling of distrust, with which we view the Stout administration, wo trust the House will give them a lair chance. To turn them out al, once would probably bo to throw tho colony back into the arms ol . Major Atkinson. It is most desirable that the Government offices should be swept, if ' not garnished, by an administration thoroughly hostile to its predecessors; and it is the chief merit of the new Government ' that there can be no question of the sin cerity of their desire to put the action of the Atkinson Ministry in its worst possible ' light. It is urgently desirable to keep the Atkinson Ministry out for some time to come. There ought to be no division amongst, them as to tho desirability of re organising the system of local government; of pushing forward the Otago Central and North Island railway lines ; of managing tho railways of each island separately ; and of miking an energetic effort to atlr.ict capital and labour to the colony more especially iv I he form of the immigration of small capital ists. If Mr Stout, can do these four things, ami do them well, they will leavo ollice with a record to be proud of, even if they do nothing else. The fear is they will do a good many other things, and not very wise things, if they get the opportunity. It may bo taken for granted that the North Island members will attack tho Govern ment on a vole of want-of-eonlidenee before they have been installed a week." Another Otago Opinion. The " Star " says :—" Whoever might be chosen as the Auckland member of the Cabinet, it can hardly be expected Auck land members, or any considerable section of them, will bo satisfied, Ono of the un fortunate heritage.-, of tho provincial system is the narrow provincial feeling which, fostered and maintained for party purposes, stands ever in the way of what is best for tho State. It seems a queer arrangement that Mr Stout should be Premier and Sir Julius Vogel Treasurer with precedence, but tho length and breadth of it isSir Julius is to bo the real head of tho Government, to direct its policy and preside in the Cabinet, whilst M r Stout is to bo loader of tho Houso." The article goes on to urge that tho new Ministry should havoa fair trial. Sir Julius Vtgel must bo a ruling spirit, thereforo Messrs Stout and Montgomery have no chance of advocating their peculiar fads. Mr Richardson is a great accession to tho strength of tho Ministry. We see a danger ahead in respect of Mr hallnnec, especially as ho is to havo charge of native a|l'airs. It is no secret that ho agrees generally with Mr .Stout as to condemning tho policy of Mr liryce, and if these two have their way wo may expect a reversal of the policy which has bail such excellent results both to the colony and native race. Mr Mac andrew is much better placed as Minister of hands than he was in the (hey Government, as he thoroughly understands its adminis tration. Any idea* he may have as to changing the land policy initiated and so successfully carried on by Mr ItolleHton must be subject to tho will of the Legisla ture, and wo do not think there is much fear of a reversion to the old Otago system of sacrificing the public estate for the Im mediate exigencies of finance, or locking up huge blocks on the pretext of endow ments for \iuonaiy purposes. Viewed from I a provincial standpoint, tho representation ' of Otago in the new Cabinet is satisfactory. I [Wo should think so.] Sir Julius is prac- < tically an Otago man if ho has any local J statusin the colony, whilst Messrs Stout and < Macandrew are both provincial to a fault.

[A very big fault, too.] Much will bo expected from them as .Ministers : but while they will do all in thoir power to advance tho special Interests of this district, they will lind that their duty to the colony will bo paramount, and Otago will get a fair share and no more, of the good things which may bo going under the now regime. [Wo are not so sure of this.] In I heir personal capacities we congratulate Iho now Premier and Minister of Lands, and mc hope wo may be able by-and-by to congratulate the country on a wise conduct of affairs by the Ministry of which they are members.

TRADING VESSELS' RACE.

A most interesting tailing race between trading vessels will probably tako place during the next fen- day?. A continuance of contrary winds has kept various outward bound craft in harbour, until nt the present timo we find no less than six either ready or getting ready to sail for Kaipara wsth the first change of wind. The brigantine Defiance (Johnson), brigantine Norah (Mur- Chison), and barque I'olham (Munn), havo been in the stream for some time, while tho three-masted schooner Devonport was towed half-way down tho harbour yester day. These vessels aro all bound for Kai para, and should the wind prevent them from sailing for another day or so, their number will be swelled by the addition of the barque Pot (llao) and barque Cabar feidh (Goodman), also bound for Kaipara. A further increase may be counted on in the shape of tlio three-masted schooner Pcnpont (Fuller), which goes from here to Greymoutli, and will possibly accompany tho other six for a considerable distance on tho journey. A good deal of betting is likely to be indulged in over tho event, and tho result will be waited for with great interest.

SACRED CONCERT, ONEHUNGA.

A sACT.nr) concert in aid of the AVesleyan Church Choir Benevolent Fund was held in tho klasonic Hall, Onehunga, on Tuesday evening, 12th jnstant, and was vory success ful. The concert „-as opened by the choir singing tie anthem, ''Thjneis tho Great ness," which was well rendered, their effi ciency being attributable to their indefatig able conductor, Mr L. McAlpino, who has given them . most careful instruction. Mr Moselem, a rising tenor, sang " Conso lation" and "Bethlehem" with truth and expression, and was very favourably re ceived. Miss Stra'aan sang, rather nervously, "Listening Angels." Mr C. Taylor, who ~n.s in excellent voice, sang "Consider the Lilies " and "Love Never Dies," tho latter being loudly encored. Tho duet, "Friendship," by tho Misses Bishop, finely exhibited the trained voices of tho fair performers. The pianoforte solo by Mrs J. 11. Ban- was a treat. In <he song, "He'll Wipe the Tear From livery Eye," Miss Jane Bishop, with her fascinating manner and silvery voice, mado an excellent impression on the audience. Mr McAlpino sang " Resignation," which was well received. The violin duct, "Gloria," by Master and Miss Stevenson, who displayed good musical abilities, was the treat of tho evening, Tho duet, "Tired," by Mr nud Miss lie- Alpine, whose voLces blended splendidly, was well rendered. The singing of the Doxology brought a pleasant and profitable conccrfto a close, —[Corresponpent.]

STRIKE OF LUMPERS.

(Kit TKI.KORAPH —l'P.-SS ASSOCIATION)

CiißiSTCiioucii, this day, By order of tho Lyttelton Lumpers' Union, the men employed in Roberts, Paxton and Company's store, turned out this morning: The direct cause is a reduction in wages from Is 3d to Is por hour. Iho firm demur to paying so high wages for light work con nected with attending their grain-drying machinery. Tho men themselves are not averse to accept the wages offered, seeing they can make from 10s to 12s por day, but the Union is fearful that a general reduction might ensue in all stores if one was allowed to reduce.

The police havo frequently received complaints of crowds gathering at street corners, especially at the breezy corners of tho two hotels facing tho wharf, and con s tables have orders to disperse tho clustering obstructions. These dispersions, however, have not hitherto been satisfactory, as tho units, like disturbed bees, shortly gather again. A simplo-looking, much-agitated fish-hawker, who it was alleged was more insolent than polito to Constable Ward, objected, as a voter and independent, citizen, to being intorferred with by a man in blue. The constable, according to evidence, spoko gently to Healey on his bodily presence being on the public path where ladies de sired to pass. Healey misinterpreted the official "move, sir,"for "loafor," and got into what was termed a " pelter." v A big crowd fathered round. Healey defended himself by saying that ho was merely talking to a "gintleman" about tho now Ministry while waiting for the steamer with fish, and was rudely interrupted in his conversation. The Bench took a favourable view of the case, nnd toldj Healey that the police were only doing their duty in what they did. Such obstructions were not lawful, and could not be tolerated. If he would promise not to offend in this way again, he would not be fined. "Neber no more said Johnny; and shortly after leaving the Court he was heard to cry, "Fish oh! fresh fish oh !"
