(by telegraph—special correspondent.) Wellington. Last Night. THE LAND BILL. The consideration of the Lund Bill _waa finished by the Waste Lands Committee this morning, but they reserved certain clauses until Wednesday, when it is proposed to recommend the decision to increase the rent of the " internal " from 3 to 5 per cent, on capital value. There ia ah'i an effort being made to give tho holders of these leases the right to mortage nud creditors the right to seize them, but this is to on strongly resisted by some of tho committoo. CIVIL SERVICE BILL. Strong objections have been taken by several members to the Civil Service Bill, on the grounds that it is unnecessary ; that it proposes to remove the service from the control of the House and place it in the hands of a board, thus possibly preventing the Legislature at some future t>'me from abolishing extraneous or obsolete department* ; that it proposes a compulsory insurance scheme whereas the Civil servants should be allowed full control of their own salaries, and that it creates a pension system, and the objectors consider the Civil servants should not be treated differently to em- . ployees of private persons.
