frsßsa association tblkgbam.l WELLINGTON, August 18,
In the House to-day, Mr Driver gave notice of a motion that, on going into Committee of Supply, he would move;—That, in the opinion of this House, it is impossible that one central legislature and administration can longer manage the local affairs of the two islands and make the annual appropriations in an equitable and satisfactory manner. 2. That to maintain the federal unity of the colony, and secure mere economical administration and just legislation, it is absolutely necessary that there should be an immediate financial separation between the two islands. 3. That a respectful address be presented to His Excellency the Governor, to the effect that he may be pleased to appoint a Royal Commission to enquire into the financial position of the two islands, having regard to the revenue and expenditure in the past, and recommend terms upon which such financial adjustment may bo fairly carried out; and that a Bill based upon such recommendations be prepared during the recess and introduced within fourteen days of tho meeting of next seseion of the present Parliament.
