THE NEW MINISTRY.
Wellington, Oct, 11. The ne'yy Ministry was sworn in at noon to-day, and consists of— Mr Waterhouse—Premier. Mr Vogel—'Treasurer and PostmasterGeneral. Mr Hall—Colonial Secretary. Mr M‘Lean—Native Minister. Mr Ormond —Public Works. Mr Bathgate—Commissioner of Customs. Mr B. Richardson—Without portfolio. Mr Richardson will be Minister of Public Works at the end of the session, when Mr Ormond will retire from the Ministry, as he objects to resign his Superintendency. Mr O’Rorke has been offered a seat in the Cabinet, and will probably accept.
(From our own Correspondent.)
The new Ministry gives thorough satisfaction. Mr Reynolds and Mr O’Rorke will likely join. At one o’clock this afternoon a full meeting of the supporters of the new Government was held. The names of the Ministry were announced, and received with considerable enthusiasm. A unanimous vote of confidence was passed. Defections from the late Government are stated. In order to carry through the business, it was agreed to sit on Monday. Mr Bathgate sent in his resignation to the Superintendent of his office of Provincial Solicitor.
