WELLINGTON.
Monday.
A poll of ratepayers for and against Climie's drainage scheme for the city of Wellington resulted as., follows : —Ayes, 535; noes, 239.
It is stated on good authority that the report circulated about a disagreement amongst Ministers is absolutely incorrect. During the late frequent meetings of the Cabinet, all the members being present, Ministers have cordially agreed on the measures to be submitted to Parliament. Their bills and financial arrangements are in a forward state. :;
It is expected that the Financial Statement will be made very early in the session, which will probably open on the 19th July. \:
The Government has for some time been in communication with Sir W. Jervois and Colonel Scratchley, Royal Engineers, with a view to obtain their professional opinion on the defences of the New Zealand harbours.
Latest advices render it most probable that these officers will visit New. Zealand after reporting for the Victorian Govern-, ment. .
The Governor, accompanied by the Hon. C. C. Bowen, will leave in the s.s. Hinemoa for liyttelton next Monday. The Governor is to lay the foundation stone of the Christchurch College, and will return to Wellington in about a week.
