Sydney. In the Assembly yesterday the Aide-do-Camp presented a reply to the address, taking exception to the word “indefensible.” Mr Parkes stated that Sir William Manning had been sent for to form a Ministry, and moved the adjournment of the House. 'I he House showed a strong feeling against the member of a Nominee Chamber being entrusted with the formation of a Ministry, and declined to adjourn over a day. Messrs Robertson, Butler, and Burster decline to join Sir William Manning. Everything is very dull. {From our own Correspondent.) Auckland, "February 8. A gentleman writes to the ‘Star’ that he engaged from the immigration depot a servant who arrived by the last ship, and that he had her in his employ thirty-six hours, during which time she took from his pantry and consumed eleven bottles of ale ami stout, a bottle of port, a bottle of ginger wine, and half a bottle of brandy. <)n Saturday she was unfit for work and complained of illness, when the mistress of the house gave her some brandy, little dreaming of the cause of “ my lady’s” indisposition. She went to bed and slept as sound as a top. This is the third new chum servant he has engaged, and inquires indignantly what the Government mean by such importations. The Superintendent, when visiting the Thames, arranged for severaljspecial agricultural settlements at the Upper Thames immediately the _ blocks now being purchased from the Natives by the General Government are acquired and handed over to the Provinces. The latest Ohinemuri telegrams state that Mr Mackay addressed the miners in front of Austin’s Hotel. Over one hundred were present, In answer to questions, he stated that directly the Native Ministers returned from Waikato he would sign an agreement with the Natives. The boundary line at Hikitako would not be shifted. The Government would not recognise any private land purchases from the Natives. Application has been made by several parties to the Government ’for prospectors’ license.- Specimens were shown, but the applications would not be recognised until the field is proclaimed open. He would advise the Government not to grant licenses at the first meeting. The meeting was very orderly, and Mr Macay complimented the diggers on the great forbearance they had shown all along. The surveyors are busy cutting the boundary.
