Thb Lbft Wing.— The Left Wing, though a small Party numerically, is evidently determined to make itself recognised ai a dUtinot Party in the House. Last •veniug, when the Premier and Captain Bus»ell had explained their positions and the positions of their sespectir* Parties in connection with Saturday's stonewall on the Old Ag« Pemion Bill, Mr Pirani also rose to speak. The Chairman of Committee wished to rule him out of order, remarking that it was merely extending the usual courtesy to the leaders of the two Parties in tht House, by allowing them to make the personal explanations just heard •when another matter was before the chair. Mr Pirani, however, in«»ted that his Party (the Left Wing) had been misrepresented in the matter, and he claimed the right to speak, and had the right conceded, -Post.

Tha business at the Tuesday evening meeting of the Social and Debating Club Ayas the reading of the magazine. The membeis had contubuted a number of mteie&ting onginal *rticles, advertisements, jokes, veisus, etc., which the editor had auanged. in pleasing style ; the reading and subsequent discussion made a veiy enjoyable meeting.
