WELLINGTON, last night. . (From our own Correspondent.) Government have this day asked jfor an adjournment from the Opposition until 4.30 p.m. on Tuesday, with the promise of taking a division. . The Opposition fearing some dodge declined tb sanction delay, and the, debate takes its coarse. The Opposition hive offered to divide any time \X\U day. The Whips assert they have gained two votes to-day. There is no prospect of the deba'e finishing before Tuesday. WELLINGTON, last night. The liberal meeting Was the mosb rowdy I have hitherto seen m the colony. No one had a fair hearing, and, during even the Premier's speech, a running fire of comment was kept up. Government think that Bastings and Driver will vote with them, on their arrival, and wanted the Opposition to give them a telegraphic pair this day, which, was refused. The . ' Chronicle./ this evening, published a new ministerial list : Fox, Premier ; Woolcuck, Treasurer; Wakefield, Colonial Secretary ; R. Hobbd, Native Minister. Mr McMinn announced, this afternoon, that he did not intend voting. If Ministers find their talking power gone, they will move the adjournment of the debate, and then all can speak to the question of adjournment, or make an amendment oa the amendment. It is stated that this course will be adopted, as. the Premier is anxious f o rebut accusations made against Mr Sheehan, by Mr Wakefisld and others. Hennare Tomana, the late Karitiana's half-brother, stated he should vote with the Opposition, because the present Government had alloweu the baliff to come to Pakowhai, his place of residence. He was suceeded by Mr Manders, who spoko to the adjournment at ten o'clock. NEW PLYMOUTH," last ni^ht. Twenty-se^en natives were arrested to-day at Bell Block. Information was brought to town early this morning that a number of natives had commenced ploughing at Bell Block. At ten o'clock Major Tuke and Major Brown with a party of men left town to arrest them. It appears that the , natives were ploughing the land upon Mr Hoskin's farm, near the village. This is not confiscated land, so that a new phase of the cisc arises. The natives were arrested at 10 o'clock. They had three bullbck:teams at hand, and must have commenced before day-break, as they bad five acres ploughed. Twenty women were there but were not arrested. The prisoners where taken straight to the R. M, Court. One prisoner stated that it did not matter to him whether the laud was bought or confiscated, as it belonged to Te Whiti, who was lord of all. The Prisoners were remanded till tomorrow. They wiil be most likely shipped off to Wellington with the other lot taken yesterday, making about fifty m all. A monster meeting is called by the Mayor to-morrow at 2 o'clock, to consider native a -Kirs.
