[By Tklegkaph.] (From our own Correspondent.)

Wellington, September 7. Mr Macandrew is losing no time with his Education and Boards of Works Bills, which are already printed and circulated, though leave has net yet been asked to introduce them.

To-day, on a motion that the Speaker do leave the chair. Sir George Grey intends moving an amendment which j will re-open the whole question. Mr Reeves has given notice to move that one-fourth of the proceeds of all land sales shall be handed over to Boards of Works, to be hereafter constituted in the several Provincial districts.

In sub-section 3 of the Abolition Bill, Mr Reid will endeavor to • get included the words “ boards of river conservators.”

Mr Buckland has raised the question of the legality of Superintendents to ait in the House, contending that, as Executive officers of the Colony, they are disqualified. He has moved for reference of the question to a Select Committee. Mr Buckland’s motion only goes the length of alleging that all Provincial officers appointed by a Superintendent as Executive officers within the meaning of clause 3 of the Constitution Act does not include Superintendents.

Mr Macandrew, objecting to half measures, has moved the inclusion of all persons drawing public money.

Mr Raid suggested that a Committee should consider whether the proper solution of the matter was not a dissolution of the House.

Major _ Atkinson said that as far as they wero advised Government considered there was nothing in the objection, but that it was a matter for the interference of the House—n»: for them.
