[Per Eingarooma at Wellington.] Melbourne, Sep. IG. The Government have brought in a Bill to abolish fees at the University, and to throw it open to all the State scholars. We are yet in ignorance as to who is to be our future Governor. The Duke of Buck'ngham is spoken of, but there is a strong preference in favour of Sir Hercules Robinson or Lord Normanby. There appears to be some doubt as to whether Mr Walker's team is coming over. It is said thnt a -sufficiently strong eleven cannot be got together, and that the Zingaii Club will send out a team, but as yet """nothing is certain. The diamond drills ordered from America have arrived, and applications are being made from nearly every district for their use. Business of all kinds continues very dull, and complaints are heard everywhere. The only hope is that things will mend in the Spring.
