An old offender named Crowe was arrested charged with murdering another man of bad repute named Black. Both men were at a house of ill-fame in the suburbs of Arch Hill, when a fight occurred, when Crowe was worsted. Crowe afterwards came behind Black, while talking with some women, and struck him a heavy blow with a billhook, the weapon sticking in his skull. The man was afterwards removed to the Hospital whore his deposition was taken. There is no hope of his recovery. Mr McMinn addressed the electors at To Awamutu last night, and a vote of confidence was carried by 22 to 4. The Orange soiree and ball last night was attended by 500. New Plymouth, July 14.

Mr Kelly, member for New Plymouth, addressed his constituents last evening, when a vote of confidence was passed. He reviewed Sir J. Vogel’s public works policy, and referred to his own personal efforts with regard to the Waitara-Wang imii railway. He then gave a brief resume of the transactions of the Assembly during the past session, and the reason why he supported Sir G. Grey. He said the late Government had dwindled away from being a Vogel Government to a Stafford Government; and Stafford ought to have been in office ns its leader. He supported Sir G. Grey because he was free from any complicity in the purchase of native lands, because it was not from ambition that he sought office, because lie deeply sympathises with the people, and because in the past he stood up for (lie colony, disobeying the commands of Lord Carnavon to send troops home, which led to his being removed from the Governorship of the colony. Ho found Sir G. Grey’s policy likely to benefit the colony generally, so he supported him. Ho referred to the incidence of taxation as proposed by the present Government, and said that property should hear part of the burden necessary for public works. He thought that taxes should should be levied on all kinds of property, and not on land only. He justified the action of the Government in delaying the matter regarding the opening of Waimate Plains, and gave a hopeful review' of the late proceedings at Waitara, speaking in the highest terms of Rewi and of the prospects of the line of railway being extended from Taranaki to Auckland. There was a good attendance, and Mr Kelly’s remarks were from time to time loudly applauded. Dunedin, July 14.

At a meeting of the University Council yesterday it was resolved—" That this Council, having learned that the Presbyterian Synod of Otago and Southland resolved in January last to erect a second chair in the University of Otago, express gratification at the prospect of another chair, and also the opinion that a chair of the English Language and Literature, together with Constitutional History, in the present circumstances of the University would be of the greatest service to higher education.”

Mr A. H. Ross, optician, has been requested to stand for Eoslyn. [FROM THE CORRESPONDENT OP THE PRESS.] New Plymouth, July 13.

The Government are about to establish Eewi on the west side of Wait arc. Old chiefs, who know, say that Eewi has made no concession for railway or other purposes, unless in secrecy uncommon to natives. They say also that had Eewi received at Waitara cooked potatoes instead of raw, hia spirit might have been one with Sir G. Grey’s spirit; but as it is, the two are one in body, but separate in spirit.
