Canterbury is altogether disorganised, through loss of its leader ; it is a hive without a queen. If Grey had been wide awake enough to have gone down there in person a month ago, lie might probably have done what he pleased. —have nominated the Superintendent and every member. But it is now too late ; his interference with the price of land will have ruined his influence. No one can form a guess, even there, who will be Superintendent: Mark Stoddart, a Presbyterian, is said by many to be the favourite. I can scarcely think this possible, in the Church of England" Settlement. Fitz Gerald and Tancred are in the field,—-the latter objecting to sit (as Superintendent) in the General Assembly, which will he something against him, the feeling being almost universal, that the several Superintendents ought to take their seats, and shave in the work of legislation, at least for the first session.—Auckland Paper.
