WELLINGTON.
(From cl Correspondent.) August 28. But little worth noting has taken place since I arrived here on Sunday, the 20th. The members seem to be all feeling their way at present, and have not yet made up their minds to plunge boldly forward upon that course which their conscience, suggests is the right one. Vogel has returned (as I suppose you knew long ago, per wire.) He landed on the wharf on the evening of the 20th, shortly after dark. A few people were at the steps wait-, ing for him ; and a young man (in the civil service, I should think from his appearance,) said, “ Now then, throe cheers for Vogel!” One of the crowd turned round quickly, and asked, “What for?” No other sound was heard. Mr Vogel seemed to bo in great pain, and was hardly able to get into the carriage that was waiting for him. He has promised to give us his Financial Statement to-morrow week. There will be but little fighting, I expect, until he has redeemed his promise ; and then —ah ! what then ? Mr Macandrew has given notice of resolutions having for their object the separation of the government of the Middle Island from that of the North. The matter is to be brought forward next Tuesday week. Mr Stafford presented Mr Smythies’ petition a few days since, and it has been referred to the Committee on Private Petitions.
