OTAGO.
By the last mail we have been favoured with papers from this Province. The principal item of intelligence is, the opening of the second session of the Provincial Council. The hopeful aspect of affairs in the settlement may be gathered from the following extract. The Superintendent in his Address says : "The revenue of our financial year, ending 10th September last has been prosperous, and shows a considerable surplus j which surplus it will be proposed to apply in aid of bringing out an imme diate supply of labour, the scarcity of which so severely presses upon the development of the Province." A portion of the revenue was to be set apart for educational purposes; and on the important topic of religion His Honor approvingly remarks : "I have great satisfaction in noticing the successful efforts of the Otago Colonists in the extension of religious ordinances, and providing for the same at their own expense and in their own wav."
