PARLIAMENTARY.

Wellington, September 18. Private telegrams from Tauranga state that the Ngaetirangi tribe held a meeting and "expressed satisfaction with Mr StafFord's'programme. Waikato telegrams state that the Hauhaus are satisfied. Mr. Yogel has not been asked to join the Stafford Ministry.' It is said that Mr. Stafford never entertained an idea of coalition, nor is he likely to do so. The Public 'Revenues Bill • was committed. Telegraph notices, Gold Duties, and Poßt-offi.ce Bills were committed, and read a third time and passed. The Protection of Animals' and Wellington Debts Amendment Bills were read a second time. Mr. Stafford said that the Government recognised the existence of discontent on the Nelson goldfields, but did not think that the Annexation Bill prepared by the late Government met the case. , Possibly a decision on it might be asked for, but the Government did not take it up. They would prepare a Bill to meet the case giving local powers. The Nelson goldfields objected to be saddled with the , Westland debt. Mr. O'Conor said that the Bill prepared by the Fox Government was a great sham; . Mr. White Baid that the question had been latterly made a political handle of by the late Ministry. , The consideration of the Bill was postponed until Eriday. , ,-.-,- , . Auckland, September 18.
