Perseveeance Mine. — .By- the Lady Barkly, which arrived from Colliogwood this morning, we learn that crushing is still being proceeded with at this mine. The,, washing up, however, will not take place for another fortnight, bo, thai, until then, the shareholders, will have to be satisfied with the statement that the plates ' are' looking well. : . Parliamentary. — Owing to some mismanagement, oar telegrams of last night's proceedings had not reached us at a late hour this afternoon, and we have therefore been compelled to make a short summary of the report which appeared in this morning's Examiner. ,-. Mr. Stafford said that Mr. Sewell would be Colonial Secretary, Mr. Curtis Commissioner of Stamps and Customs, and temporarily PostmasterGeneral and Telegraph Commissioner, and Mr.. Fitzherbert Minister of Immigration; The ferovernment intended to co-operate, .most fully .with the provinces regarding the/introduction anbV location of , immigrants. They were determined to maintain the.unifcy of the colony with the seat of Government at Wellington, and ■would oppose any attempts at insular separation. The * Government intended, as soon as the funds allowed, to ' proceed with the railways already authorised,.. but it. was evident that the funds at command •would not suffice to complete anything ' < :|liKo/^''tK^\^,wlioioi ,; of /''the ' -lines., ' iriy sthe • f • BcheduieVnearlyr,the whole amount being abflprbed fin r contracts already let. i: ; It , wioulol, have: tobe considered, how -funds could be obtained for thecompletion of other : lines, aiuJun^l these were done no new entered into. ■','; ■ He; hbjpeoVthe session wpuld ' ' 'i^eir;^ •predec'ejsadrs^^ i :r'twi#iueh f *ea^tibn^;aX:^^ , •■'^f^iwftyj^t^o^gi^ext jessioh^bftip • i'^wc^Wiintrodiiic^^iiie^^^ '

available to" all parta of the,, colony The Government^ would fully consider and investigate t^'ef|lisconten f i;,''on the Nelson South $^eSt'Grsldfielda witfctitife .view of devising some means for improving the administration of affairs so as to render it more acceptable to the people. He did not believe that creating a new province would conduce to good Government in that part of the colony. They would take up the Stamp Act Amendment BUI, and. extend it by reducing cheque stamps to one penny, and during the recess, would consider the question of amending the law of insolvency.— Mr. John Martin, accused of breach of privilege in having bought land on Mi. Andrew's run with the avowed intention of punishing Mr. Andrew for a vote given by him last session, appeared at the bar of the House, where he made a humble apology, and offered to withdraw his application for the land. The case"' was adjourned to allow him to do so.
