PARLIAMENTARY ITEMS.
[Br Telißquaph.] WELLINGTON, October 12. Ever since taking office every spare hour of Ministers’ time has been spent in the offices, mastering the details of what has been going on in the different departments. The state of things revealed is said not to be creditable to their predecessors, but especially so in the Native office, the records of which would puzzle Philadelphia lawyers to explain. It is expected that by Tuesday the House will knowmoreof matters than they have known for the past two years. It appears that all documents calculated to reflect unfavorably upon the administration were systematically kept in the background. Ministers express every confidence of retaining office. So far the Opposition have been unable to influence Mr Allwright to leave the path he laid down for himself. The greatest difficulty was experienced last night to induce Messrs Pyke and ReaderWood to attend the Opposition dinner. There is every indication that Mr Maoandrew has a warm time in store for him. The Opposition generally do not like the outlook, as one of the leaders remarked to another on Saturday with a sigh : —“ They are in now and there is no telling when we will get them out; in fact, there is a good deal on our side that will not bear close scrutiny.”
