(per pkess agency. ) WELLINGTON. Wednesday. PARLIAMENTARY. Grey moved that all correspondence between Governor and late Ministers be placed on the table. Replying to questions, the Government did not see their way to establish a naval training school at Nelson; the one at Auckland was not full. They could not say whether they were prepared to introduce a bill granting endowments to counties similar to those given to municipalities. It was a question of policy and inconvenient to deal with just now. Bryce said £1,121,000 was required to complete the native land purchase, which would have to be provided for. In reply to Murray, the Government said it was advisable to revise the list of justices, Oliver isaid there had been no response to tenders for the manufacture of steel rails in the colony. Bryco said the Ohinemuri outrage was traceable to some alleged land sale. On the adjourned dedate on the Electoral Bill coming on, the Premier moved the adjournment of that and tho other Government Bills till next day, when they would be in a position to state the course they intended to adopt regarding the want of confidence motion. The adjournment was granted. Several Bills were read for the first time.

On the motion of Stevens, Select Committee was ordered to consider and report on the question of what relief can be afforded manufacturers in tho colony by the alteration of the present duties and other means by which the establishment of colonial industries and manufactures can be promoted.

already expired through llio fever nnv raging there, unci as many more are prostrilled and dying at the rate of two and three per day.

Mr ft W, Elliott, who was foreman of the jury which tried Waters, replying to the toast of " the Insurance Companies," said that every body had been blamed but the right person. The jury were unanimously of opinion that the evidence did not justify them in sending the man to the gallows. Later.
