There is an unusual demand for tickets. Wellington, November 9. The New Zealand Times publishes a reply of Sir James Fergusson to Sir George Grey's petition. After acknowledging its receipt, and recapitulating the substance of the prayer of the petition. It appears to His Excelthat in praying him to summon the General Assembly immediately, and transmit your petition to Her Majesty's Government, you propose he should act independently of, if not in opposition to, his responsible advisers, a course which would be justified only by great and exceptional emergencies. Referring to the object to be gained—as his Excellency is aware there is not on the part of the Government of New Zealand any intention to make an application to the Imperial Government to propose any such measure to Parliament, or that there is any necessity for so doing to enable the General Assembly, in the exercise of its legitimate functions, to carry out in its next session by specific legislation the constitutional changes which, by a resolution in its recent session, it declared it to be advisable, his Excellency hopes that with further information on this point, you will be satisfied that the prayer of your petition ought not to be complied with, and that it is also needless to make telegraphic communication to Her Majesty's Government of a fact which must be known to them, as it might be supposed to have been known to every person in this colony. That there is no person " qualified:" if by that expression in your petition is meant accredited, to negociate or communicate with her Majesty's Government on the abolition of provincial institutions. The latter part is to the effect that while Sir James is sensible of Sir George's greater experience in the duties of a colonial governor, he must act according to his own view of his duty, and that to transmit the petition in its present form to her Majesty's Parliament would be accepting the premises upon which it is based. But his Excellency will, in consideration of the opinion of one so highly qualified, transmit any representation Sir George may desire to make directly through him, as the appointed channel, to her Majesty in regard to New Zealand affairs. Judges Sir G. Arney and Richmond have arrived. The Court of Appeal opens to-day. Within the last few weeks about £25,000 worth of provincial land has been sold and applied for. Nelson, November 7.
