THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
TROOPS TO BE SENT FOR. THE N.Z.S.N. COMPANY TO BE CONTINUED. GOLD DISCOVERED NEAR WELLINGTON. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) (from oitr ows correspondent.) Wellington, Wednesday. Mr M'Lean's motion respecting the sending of Commissioners to England, to apply to the Home Government for troops for the defence of the Colony, was carried last night by a majority of six. Three of the majority were Maori members. The share-holders of the New Zealand Steam Navigation Company have decided against the winding up of the Company by a majority of 113 to 77. Some splendid specimens of alluvial gold, found about three miles out of Wellington, have been brought into town to-day, and the late excitement on the subject of a goklfield in the neighborhood has naturally considerably increased.
