CHRISTCHURCH.
(PergPreßS Telegram Agency.) The Hon. Mr Stafford. The Times this morning says it is rumoured the Hon. Mr Stafford is in active communication by letter and otherwise with the old centralist party, and intends to press the question of abolition of all the provinces to a division during the coming session. Also, that at the next general election he will if necessary leave Timaru, which is considered certain to return an abolitionist, and contest a seat with one of the leading members of the provincialist party. The Australian Cricketers' Visit. From a private letter received by Mr Fowler from one of the Victorian promoters, it seems that the expenses, &c , are estimated at £1000. This amount, however, it is generally considered will admit of reduction, and that the chance of an Australian eleven visiting New Zealand is very probable.
