Parliament meets on the 13th May. The Hon. the Minister of Mines and party arrived at Ross last evening. The party, consists of his son, Mr Hamer, Professor Browne, the County Chairman, and Mr Mueller. Professor Black is lecturing at Mapourika Lake. Mr Matthew Burnett, the Temperance lecturer, arrived by the noon coach from Hokitika, where he last night gave a farewell lecture at the Duke of Edinburgh Theatre, to a large and enthusiastic audience. The result of Mr Burnett's mission so far on the Coast has been to augment the ranks of the abstainers by 1100 persons. He proceeded by tram to Ureymotith this afternoon, where he opens a mission to-night. We are again compelled to hold over our report of his last lecture in Kumara, owing to a pressure of telegrams. The Christchurc.li coach arrived at three o'clock this afternoon. We regret to learn that Mr South, Clerk of Courts, is seriously indisposed. He was taken to the hospital last evening. Mr R. J. Seddon was elected Chairman of the Education Board at the meeting held at Hokitika last night. Commander Edwin wired at noon today—"lndications for very cold night, or , frost."
