AUSTRALIAN CABLES.
THE NATIVE QUESTION IN NEW ZEALAND. I Per Phess Association.] Sydney, This Day. The Government intend to introduce legislation dealing with private banks. The Premier, in reply to a question, said ho was making enquiries as to the condi tion of the New Australia scheme, and had authorised the Agent-General to expend Beveral hundred pound*, if necessary, to pay peoples' passages back to the colony. In the cricket match Queensland v New South Wales, Queensland's second innings finished for 246. New South Wales made the 199 required to win for the loss of eight wickets. Melbourne, March 28. From April Ist the Government reduce the interest on deposits in the Saving* Bank to three per cent. This step has been taken in consequence of falling revenue. The Treasurer estimates the total debit balance at the end of the year at £4011,000. The Argus, commenting on the opening up of the Maori lands, suggests that, as a matter of sentiment, it might be well for the New Zealand legislators to wait until Rewi and the last of the chiefs who fought so gallantly for the right of Maoris to hold the Maori landfi depart from the scone which they arc now fast leaving.
