Local Intelligence.
The Provincial Council is to be summoned to meet at Christchurch on the 20th of next month. This summons is a little earlier in the year than usual, but a good reason exists, even if there be no other of equal importance, in the meeting of the General Assembly in the autumn, with whose sitting it would be very undesirable to clash.
Mr. Ollivier lias been appointed a Commissioner of the Waste Lands Board, an ex officio appointment according to the arrangements hitherto adopted by the Government. The number of Commissioners has now reached the limit assigned by law; there being three ex officio members besides the Chief Commissioner; and two specially appointed, one of whom is paid and one unpaid. Mr. James Cotton is appointed Poundkeeper in Christchurch, in the room of Mr. Henry Jagger, resigned. We have news from Melbourne by the Corsair, and from Otago by the Bosworth, but must defer extracts to our next issue.
