SPECIAL TELEGRAMS.

[from 1 oca own correspondent ]

Ddsbdin, August 21.

The political situation has caused quite a stir in town. At last night’s sitting of the House, Mr Thomson, of the Cloths, moved the amendment to the Address-in-Reply that the Government as constituted has nob the confidence of Parliament. He made a very cool and decided speech. Mr Hatch, of' Invercargill,, seconded it. Mr Stout made a brilliant'speech in reply, winding up with a direct challenge to the Opposition to go to a dilrision He was taken at his word, ard at mi 'flight the Ministry of two days term of office was thrown out, the voting was 33 for the Government, and 52 against. Sir Julius V- .gel was not present in the House. This morning, the Premier announced that ha had placed the resignation in the hands of the Governor H* would, on the House rising, move an adjournment till Tues lay. He had done thia on the recommendation of Mr Thomson, who had been sent for by the Governor. Tto Herald's special c -rraspondent tonight says the fall of the Ministry on the first opportunity the House had had of expressing its opinion was a bitter disappointment to the Cabinet. The majority, although the largest ever recorded against a Government in the Colony, it is said would have een greater on a straight vote at a later stage, as some supporters desired merely to give them a trial. It has been stated that, they had not seven members outside themselves who believed in them. The collapse was sudden in the end, but had been expected by many from tho beginning, and it it even stated that sir Julias, not having been Premier, wonld bo free to join any other Ministry. What tho outcome will be cannot be predicted. It is certainly a pity that a fair trial was not given, bat several members thought it was only, wasting time Mr Mackenzie, of dtinht Ida, spoke well, and Mr Thomson Was coni and decided. Some suupo.e that Sir George Grey will be Sent for, while others believe that this wonld prove a wist* of time, and that Mr 0 mon 1 could form a s ’rung Ministry. \ dissolution was hinted at this evening, but there i < ho p- key upon which to go to the con itry a deputation'-'of Otago and Southland members waited im the Colonial Secretary this morning in reference to the Benevolent Instunn -.n...

At the Lind Board yesterday the question of d*Mm> with def -trad payment settlers who w -re in arrears was con'd lered. Mr I. A. Connell spoke in favor of leniency with settlers, and said it was the duty of the Government to give every encouragement to this class of settlers. A brief discussion ensued, the Chief Commissioner sayi g that it was only in extreme eases where the licenses were forfeited. Tbo consideration of all cases was adjourned till Septomper 30. There was no business of local interest considered at the Education B aril to-day. Mr Green moved his motion referring to corporal punishment, and after discussion it was lost.
