""! A\ ' - '*$ ";- I hear that the Governor leaves to-morrow in the Hinemoa for Auckland en route for Fiji. This sudden departure in the middle of the session, and jasr after a serious Parliamentary struggle, bas created considerable surprise, and is likely to be the subject of discussion in the House There are symptoms that tbe session is now drawing to a close. Several members left to day by various steamers, and others will probably leave to-morrow. Appearances indicate that the impending massacre of the innocents will be exceptionally sweeping and rapid.
