PARLIAMENTARY NOTES.

(Fhom ode own Co-respondent.) Wellington, August 13. I understand that the names of Sir F D. Bsll, Dr Grace (M L.O ) r and Me Montgomery are to be submitted to the Governor as Commissioners to represent the colony at the Paris Exhibition. The first Order of the day to day will be the r. sumption m Committee of the Native Bills, which the Government intend to push through before taking any further business. It is generally stated that stonewalliug will be recommence! to-morrow m coDseqaenca of amendments made m the Native Lon<i Bil', which the Natives state is even worse th*n tho original Bill. Mr Sydney Taiwhan-a ctfttee m reference to his pledge to the. Premier on Friday night, that his promiee not to further obstruot, only applied to the Native Land Bill, whioh his gone through, and that he is quite free to Oppose the Native Land Courts Bill, Which he considers to be even more objectionable 1 than the Native Land BilL Mr Taipua, it is understood, will again assist him. Mr Carroll objeotcvery i<imgly to the amendments made m the Native Land Bill, but he will not take part In the obstruction. It is V9tj poMtbte the Natives will have the Miiitanos of some of the West Coast member*, with whom rumor has it a oompaot has been made that In return for their co-operation the Natives will help them to stonewall the Crown and Native lA&tt Rating Act Repeal Bill. With than two large obstructions looming up In the futnre, It is Impossible toooDJaoture when the teuton may come to an end, and Ideas of an indefinite period are becoming prevalent. It Is thought, how ever, that one outcome of the stonewalling of this session will almost oerUlnly be/the Introdootlon of cloture ruleß like those so ■aeeeufally adopted by the House of Commons In EDgland.
