SUPPLEMENTARY TELEGRAMS.

[The following apptared in oar issue of Saturday last:—]

{From ot-.r ovni correspondent.) : lAinedin, Friday, 8 p.m. A litfg? and iufiiumii.-tl lneetinsr was held to-day :o consider the posil 10;, o- tee Otago Museum. It was ri>»r.l» «ii 10 arkihs Colonial trovernrucr.i" for a permanent endowment. A deputation whs appointed .to wait on tim, Provincial .Executive to go tain their co-operation iniha matter. , The body of Mnry Cameron, a prostitut«», was found iu the Water of Leitli this morning, apparently oiiij ten or fifteen hours there. I* A RLIAHE NTii-RY. BaHanc;, hi rest imng the Separation debate, said that, no matter wliat iu terpretation they placed upon the resolutions, the real object was to punish the imputed sins of the Government-; but, if the Government- had mal-administere.d public affairs, and brought calamity ou the Colony, the proper courss would have been to have brought down a vote of Want of. confidence. De Lautour analysed the last elections to show that only eleven members out of the whole 'House had been returned as pure Abolitionists, and even these were men who would have been - returned in any case upon other grounds—chleHy past services. That was clear proof that the people had not demanded Abolition. In connection with this point he would intorm the House that amongst the out-districts dissatisfied •with Provincial administration the majority of them were GoldtieMs districts. The recommendation in favor of v-ir Gt o "ge's resolution a was that, before building up a new Constitution, they preferred remitting the matter to the people. There was no reason to suppose that, _ wider the proposed resolutions, ths county system would be foregone. At the eveuuig's sitting_;vll the speeches—except Maeauiirew'ii, who was intensely Gtagan, and Montgomery's, who was severe upon Ministers for breaking their promises ro localisation of the Idnd fund, which, if not done, would next year lead him to consider separation—were very meilioere. For tha resolutions Fisher and Tale (who called ilia opponents from Auckland traitors amid repeated cries of " armed resistance") and Nahi, spoke against them—ii. J. C'larka Maori), Murray-Aynsley, and Zanders. Stevens j-esumed the c'.ebate this afternoon.
