The Q-overnment held a meeting of their supporters this morning, at which they announced they were not prepared to take the stand threatened by Yogel a few days ago, but thought, as the session was so far advanced, it was not desirable to legislate further on that question until the next meeting of the General Assembly. Yogel has just finished. Ministerial Statement. ~Ho advises constituents through their Provincial Councils to express themselves on the action of the Upper House, with a view to ifs reform. Pyke is now replying to Yogel in a violent speech, condemning the action of the Government in receding from the position taken up by them a few days ago, The Bill to enable Clyde Municipality to borrow £8000, to erect a bridge over the Clutha, was thrown out. The management of the Construction of the Waipori Drainage channel has been handed over to the Provincial Government, with instructions to commence work immediately.
