WELLINGTON.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. The Weather-Hotel Accommodation. The fine weather of the last week is at length broken by rain, and judging from the way the barometer looks, some stiff weather is not very far off. Notwithstanding anticipations to the contrary, there is abundance of hotel accommodation so far. Of course all the members have not yet arrived. Absence of Political Hangers-on. A noticeable feature so far of the present session is the absence of the usual number of waiters-on, providence LaDgers-on, and Micawbers generally. The lobbies are not rendered impassable with them so far, as has been the case during previous sessions, but amongst the members themselves there is a small band of needy ones who are aDxioua to get a chance to serve as mercenaries, so that they can get a finger into the flesh-pot. Each is a party unto himself, Without whose countenance the Assembly must dissolve into chaos.

The Collingwood's Immigrants. The Collingwood's immigrants are being gradually landed, so that, although there ■were a few deaths amongst them, the sickness has proved not to be so dangerous as was at first anticipated.
