INTERPROVINCIAL TELEGRAMS.

(FROM THE LYTTELTON TIMES.)

Wellington, June 25.

Notice of Mr Stout's resignation for Dunedin will be gazetted immediately, and the writ will be issued eight days after. It is probable that the vacant seat in the Cabinet will be offered to Mr Montgomery. Every effort will be made to obtain a new colleague from amongst the Canterbury or Otago members. If Mr Montgomery joins the Ministry there will be a revising of portfolios, and the Attorney-Generalship will not be filled up. A telegram received by the Government from Hawera to-day states that there is no sign of any ploughing parties. The settlers have nearly completed relaying the turf by hand that was turned over by the ploughs on Mr Livingstone's land. After being rolled it will 'not show much sign of damage. Some ten men, four women, and a number ! of horses are now passing through from Wanganui to Parihaka. On dit that Te Whiti has told them to plough away till the place is full of soldiers ; then his power will appear. Haweea, June 25. A telegram has been received from Government, stating that the railway line between Hawera and Stratford will be immediately let in half-mile sections. Small contractors will take the work. This scheme to be practically useful, must not be delayed by red tapeism. A large party of Maoris are taking a sick Maori to Parihaka from Wanganui for Te Whiti to perform a miracle. It is not improbable that he will sham death before reaching Parihaka, and be restored again. Major Brown is wisely kept in the district, and is equal to his trying position. His presence is invaluable. New Plymouth, June 25. The Natives commenced ploughing <

Courtney's land to day. Mr Courtney has telegraphed to the Government, asking if they intend to remove the Natives from his land, and unless an affirmative reply is received to-night, he intends to take matters in his own hands to-mor-row. The Stella arrived to-day about'three o'clock, with a detachment of Armed Constabulary. She experienced stormy weather. Seven conveyances have left for Oeo to bring in the families and goods of Captains Goode and M'Beamish.
