THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL APPOINTMENTS.
London, Sept. 2. It is expected in colonial circles that the Marquis of Ripon will settle the New Zealand constitutional difficulty somewhat on the lines of Sir Michael Hicks Beach's final despatch on the Victorian difficulty in [A Melbourne messa^States'that the despatch was ;„ connection with the trQublp " in the Berry Government \u 1579 about the formation of the constitution of the Upper House. An extract from that despatch says : " The course of action which Her Majesty's Government might adopt must in a great degree depend upon the circumstances which may then exist; but I can hardly anticipate that the Imperial Parliament will assent to disturb in any way, at the instance of a Colonial Legislature, the settlement embodied in the Constitution Act unless the Council should refuse to concur with the Assembly in some reasonable proposal for regulating tho future relations of the two Houses, in financial matters, in acceptance with high constitutional precedent, and should persist in such refusal after an appeal having been ratified by the country and again sent up by the Assembly for the consideration of the Council."]
