ANOTHER RUPTURE BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR AND MINISTERS.
(by TELEGRAPH.) Wellington, December 4. The Governor sent down a message last night to the House of Representatives concerning a long correspondence between himself and Ministers regarding the visit of Sir Wra. Jervoise and Colonel Scratchley. Sir Wm. Jervoise asked the Hinemoa to be sent to Hobart Town for him. Ministers refused, and in further correspondence say that in the present financial condition of the colony no money can be spared for external defence, and ask the Governor to indefinitely postpone a visit from Sir Win. Jervoise. The Governor, in repty, expresses his regret, and says such conduct will not tend to raise the credit of the colony abroad, and asks the correspondence to be laid before Parliament.
