AUSTRALIA.
Bluff, Feb. 4. News per Arawata says, crisis continues, and is likely to have a prolonged existence, certainly until a reply is received from the Imperial authorities, which is not expected before the end of February. A further batch of officers were dispensed with last Friday, including all the principal offi.ers of Education Department, from Secretary down to supernumary clerks. Government reappointed three County Court Judges. Numerous meetings have been held in various parts of the Bountry, but generally those opposed to the ministerial side were howled down. Examples of this occurred at Sandhurst, when two opposition members of the Assembly attempted to speak, and were howled down. When the Assembly meets, a petition to the Queen will be adopted. The Governor has been informed by several legal gentlemen, that his proceedings are illegal, and the feeling against the Governor is getting stronger amongst certain classes.
Ringarooma leaves with mail on Tuesday.
