Tbe Wellington correspondent of the Auckland Herald says : — I have heard from high authority that the Government course on the Loan Bill will be as follows : — They will oppose loans, but will come down with a proposal to distribute surplus revenue amongst tbe poorer provinces. I believe this rumor ia correct, and that it represents the substance of tbe Premier's proposals on the matter. In this colony, and especially in this province, says the Otago Daily Times, the working classes, as they are rather > absurdly called in contradistinction to the rest of the community, are receiving i wages which put to shame the moderate * stipends of curates, clerks, school- ; masters, and the leas highly remunerated professionals of the old country, and indeed of this.
