Speaker, and as is well ■■known,. Mr. O-Borke's sympathies are ■ with -the Liberal , party. : lioeiney, which owned the Native Minisler (Mr. Sheehan) as its. representative, has this Session elected Mr. Seymour George -in his place, Mr. Sheehan'having transferred his allegiance to the' Thames. Pai-nell has .made.- no change, aud Mr, Moss, a Ministerial. -.supporter,, is still ■ the cliosen one. : Thames has elected the Premier and the .Native Minister, the latter of whom left his old constituency (Rodney) to oppose the notorious " rafc," Billy. liowe. As Sir George Grey has also be^on elected at the head of the poll for Ohrisfccliurch, and lias been deter rninecl to sit for. that constituency, immediately after the assembling of. Parliament there^ will be a fresh election for the Thames, when no - doubt either Mr. Feldwick, of Invercargill, or Mr. C. S. ■Keewes.of Dunedin, will come forward m tlie Government interest. The* electors, of Waitemata have been very unkind to Mr. .Macfarlane, the sucking Native Minister m the Fox Ministry— that was to be. Mr. Macfarlane is amongst the '.'outs," and Mr. R. Wood, a supporter of- the Government is "m." By the desertion of Waikato by the late Attorney- General, Mr. Frederick Whittakor, the Liberal party gain an adherent m the pe^rson of Mr. White. At Waipa. that' noted rodent, Ed ftraham M'Minn, has made room for Mr. F. Wbiltakt'ivwho although a, son of the late member for Waikato, is a Liberal of a very pronounced stamp. . This concludes the list fan the Auckland Provincial District, from which it vrill be'sfion that the, eighteen seats have all been fUled by. Ministerial s,nppr>r,terß, while exactly .half will .interview the Speaker for the first time, and the dissolution has cost the Opposition eight seats, those of Messr«. Goldie. Mac-f.--ii--lane, Williams,-* Bbwe, M'Minn, Morris.,, Whittaker, and Sir llobert D.ougl-is. In Taranaki thoro has only been ono change— ■ the substitution of Colonel Trimble, a liberal, for that old politician Frederick" Alo.nzp Carrington, the> once Superintendent. of the Province. Wli^n it is considered that Colonel Trimble is comparatively, a new n*\au when compared with his opponent, the rejection of M"r. Cai'rington by the electors cfGrey and Bell is certainly sucrsrnstive. Both .Eg.t'no|«,t and' New Plymouth have madfi no e<haiiQ;i>,jaru:l M*tjoi" Atkin/S.on and Mr. John Ivelly still continue "re-presen'tatives m their respective constituencies. . Thi*< concludes the Provincial District of Taranaki, which retu-ns three rvpresehiatives — one -Ministerialist and two Opposition. Hawkes' Bay sends the same number to Parliament— one. for Olive, and two for Napier For the former, Mr. John Dayies Prrapnd^ tht old member, a

determined Oppositionist, still holds his seat, -although Mr. Shee>han made a bold itte.mpt to send him adrift. / With regard to 'the Napier Election, it is not safe to speak, as it is more than likely that the two members elected — MessrsrSutton and lJussell wjll be unseated, as the legality of ithe election is doubtful., - 77- ' '"Sv-- ~ !^/--Joy--, *y' '■ 7/ ; Next we coine'to Wellington, where" . we find that. At "the" Hutt; -Mr. —Henry- Jackson, i';woo :buta few jnqr»ths;agu defeated Mr. Wi.Uiam.Mason.bjr^a Jarge" majority, ' has now had' tlie tables 'upon--•him by.the.same^entTemliri', arid finding 'l*nmseif •ihHl^'Mi-inority, r has joined: Ahfe "outs."' By4,his change: the* Liberals have lost a follower. V-* ,_. , Manawatu has; niade no r change, -and 'Sir George Grey will have a bitter oppo? nent m Walter Johnston. Although the late'm'ember for Ban'gitikei will not represent that constituency m the new Parliament; he will take his' seat nevertheless. Rangitikei, however, furnishes one member to the Conservative contingent. ' ■■:':'.-■■■■' .■ .: The City of : Wellington has. chosen two new men to represent it— both proteges of ithe Liberal, Association. Of the old -members, one, retired ',yolnn-' ; ■tarily, Mr. Barton; tbe otliar,..,,Mr,f Hunter, found* upon going to the poll that his, rSerylqes were no .Josnger, required. The sitting nien'ibers aire now Messrs. Levin and Hutchinson. For .the*: Well itigtton 'suburbs, :the old/ member j 'Alfred die ; Bathe Brandon-ra rank Tory, as his name would denote-rr-, has been successful. At WangamnVit is needless tp say,, that arch conspirator, Sir William Fox has come to grief. He has been fairly run to earth, and let us hope buried m oblivion for ever. The seat of which helms beeu deprived will now be wqrthily filled by the man whom he. rabidly strove to villi ly. Thus • ' though , the Government .lost a seat at Rangitikei, they gained one at Wanganui. : Matters at' Wairarapa. have been m no ways changed by the elections. The old members— -Messrs. Bunny and Baetham having again succeeded m beating! all comers. £ • Ti, will be thtis' seen 'that while there are fonr new merabei's for the Provincial Distj*dcJ} oi '' honors are easy," even supposing' Mr. Levin to be amongst the " doubtfu'Vs." The Opposition has lost" two veterans, Sir William Poland Mr. , Hunter, and ac-. ■quired- tw ; o,n'o.h^6ntities, MrV Mason and Major "^illis. V ' ..in...th(a'';Nels6n,T)ist ; rict, Br; Henry has been defeated by J the Government Candidate, Mr. Fisher. 7At Grey Valley,: MrV "Reeves has for bis colleague, m place of "Mr. Wooleock, s the oln'menlbor; who was debarred from contesting for the same 'reason -as Mr. B'eos, at' • Auckland, Mr. Masters^ a staunch Liberal, although we- notice, efforts have made to claim him for the Opposition; At Motiteke the Opposition hold their ownv -; Mr. .Riolimond Hurstliouse, having enjoyed a waJk-oye-K., .-,..,-., .=' iln Nelson fCityTfche electors hdye sousjht a change, nuel.while ? .lvtr.

He also is amongst the««donb» fills." Mr. Baigent has given way to Mr. Shepherd at Waimea. and the new man will be opposed to the Government. So far as the Province is. considered the strength is divided, there being three Oppositionists, three. CJqyernraent supporters, and two neutrals. In Marlborough the three seats of Cheviot. Picton, and Wairnu have been filled by the old members. Messr3. Saunders, Seymour, and Kennv, all Opposition men ; but the eon<*.rar,v hn.s;been the case m Weatland. where throe Q-overnment supporters were trinmpbatlv returned.

' " It is PomA.wh.at singular that m Canterbury the bnlance of power has been -again evenly divided — of the fourteen seats, seven being filled hy Ministerialists and seveid by Oppositionists. Fir«t m the field was -Mr. "Rolleston, Conserrative. who enioved a " walk-over " for Avon. Then followed Mr. Montgomery, Liberal, who obtained the same privilege for Akn"-ia.

Cominc down thpp to Ota«;o and Southlan-"!, we find that fienton has lost the confidence of the electors of Qaversham, and Mr. Barron, a Ministerial supporter ha" taken bus place. At "Riverton. Dr. Hodgkinson has given wav to Mr. M^Cnuthan, a new man, but an •Upholder -of the Liberal hanne".
