The opinion of the City Council of Wellington was nearly unanimous last evening in favor of a memo, from Christchurch, conveying an extract of petition to be presented to the House of Representatives, that fees arising from the licenses gianted within corporate boundaries should be expended in their limits, by elected authorities. It is understood that the New Zealand Steam Shipping Company's fleet will not be sold without full value being paid, as several capitalists and merchants have agreed that, sooner than the steamers shall be knocked down at less than their value, all the money will be forthcoming, so as to keep headquarters still in Wellington. It is expected that the Premier will make financial statement at the evening sitting.
