ARRIVAL OF THE TARARUA. VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT. BURGLARY AT GOLDSTEIN'S. MESSRS. M'MECKAN AND CO.'s 18-ILN T OT BOATS. June 16. The Tararua brings Melbourne news to the Bth inst., but it is principally anticipated by news per "Wakatipu. The Government policy is much the same as that of the last Berry Ministry. Retention of the protective duties,and the imposition of a land tax are prominent features. There are to be changes in the constitution of Legislative Council next session. The Attorney-General will probably hold a seat in Parliament. The burglars who committed the robbery at Goldstein's (jeweller) are not yet arrested. The property taken is valued at 1600. Messrs. M'Meckan, Blackwood, and Co. are building two new boats on the Clyde to steam 18 knots an hour. The weather is very warm and mild. Five or six places of amusement are open, but none are doing very well.
