POLITICAL GOSSIP.
THE REPRESENTATION BILL. Ministers have had a long Cabinet meeting over the Representation Bill, but nothing is yet settled as to its provisions beyond the general principle on which it is based, namely, that of population, the town districts, however, being numerically stronger than the country ones. A map is in preparation by the Surveyor-General showing a provisional scheme of division. It is proposed, we believe, that the boundaries of the new districts shall be, so far as possible coincident with those of existing districts or. counties, and that the population of town districts shall be about one fourth larger than that of country district.— Post.
