TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

PROVINCIAL. Wellington', March 11. The Coal Company meeting is postponed pending the arrival . of the Greymouth deputation. -The Company here propose telegraphing to England for a suitable steamer. Arrived: Glenlora, short of provisions. ThecGlenlora's passengers were subsisting several days principally on rice. She signalled the steamer Napier in the Straits, which towed her inside the heads. A vessel from the harbor then boarded her with provisions. Stewart, of the Te Aro cadets scored 92 out of a possible 100 when firing for the Champion belt. The sum of -6287 is to be divided as Hutt racing prizes. r The stewards have disqualified Comet and Conundrum. . Chbistchctkch. March, 11. • Mr Eeeves addressed his constituents on Friday last, and defended the Fox-Vogel Government from charges regarding the Brogden contracts. He excused the delay on account of railways on the ground that the staff at the disposal of the Government *was insufficient, and, the Government unprepared. If New Zealand Tailways could be constructed at less than -65000 per mile, we would have them cheaper thaninany other part of the' world. The Government last session unfairly judged and ' condemned. The reason why he (Reeves) declined to join Mr : Vbgel's Ministry, though much pressed to do so, was, firstly, because he resented the/vote of the House on Mr Stafford's No Confidence motion; secondly, he : ; discovered that Mr "Vogel > gave/ pledges regarding other members of the Ministry such that he (Reeves) could inat'be a 'party ! to. He found also ; an _ extraordinary want of candour on the 'part of Mr Vogel. Mr Reeves expressed his firm faith in the future of the colony if wisely governed. ,•' 7' .*••. • 7-7.
