THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
(From the Press.) Affairs in Wellington seem in greater confusion than ever. The arrangement understood to be contemplated was that bir J. Vogel should retire on the Agent-General-ship, and Mr Fitzherbert take his place as Premier, Mr Kolleston succeeding Mr Fitzherbert in the Speaker's chair. We have good ground for saying that tdl yesterday these changes were as good as settled. ±sut yesterday evening we learnt that, for some reason not stated, the negotiation with Mr Fitzherbert had broken down, so that the process of reconstruction described above could not be carried out. It seems, however, that Sir Julius is still bent on taking the Agent-Generalship, as the consequence of the failure with Mr Fitzherbert is reported to be the resignation of Ministers ; in which case Major Atkinson is considered most likely to be entrusted with the formation of a new Ministry. But as to all this we have no positive information; nor is it to be expected that anything will be known for certain until the Ministerial announcements when the House meets this evening.
