WELLINGTON.
Monday.
It is stated that the Government do not intend to summon Parliament before July, and that the principal measures to be brought forward will be bills dealing with the redistribution of representation on a basis of the new census, the adjustment
of the incidence of taxation, and a bill dealing with native lands. The Argus believes the present Government are desirous of doing away with the mixed authority which prevails in the administration of this port, by which the City Council controls the wbnrf and the General Government the harbour. They would be in favor of putting both under the direction of a properly constituted Harbor Board, and are prepared to support an adequate endowment of the same. The police have arrested John Pentridge, who occupied tho hotel recently burned down, and which led to the destruction of the railway station. They have been procuring evidence, from which arose the suspicions as to the origin.
