MINISTERIAL PROJECTS. [BY TELEGRAPH. — OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Auckland, Last Night.

t The Star's Wellington correspondent telegraph!) :—Mr Oliver arrived per Hawea today from Dunedin, and will remain for some weeks. Messrs Dick and Atkinson have al^o arrived, and Cabinet meetings will bo held this week, when some important matteis will be discussed. Miniates feel that a great mistake has been made by leaving Auckland out in the cold, and effort", will be made before the depaiture of the Premier for Sydney to have Auckland represented in the Ministry. It it. stated on good authoi ity that Mr Johnson, Minister for Public Works, is ready to retue immediately if a good Auckland man can be found, and that Mr Swanson could have the position at once :f he would consent to hold office. Messrs Peacock and Hurst aie the other two names mentioned, and I believe negotiations will be opened up slimtly, with a view to induce one of them to accept a poi tfoho. But foi liisunpopulaiityintheHou.se, Mi Hmst would certainly have the preference, as 1 believe the Government considers hi*longer evpeiience entitles him to it, but when the matter is discussed by the Cabinet, I believe Mr Peacock will bo the man selected.
