RESIGNATION OF THE GOVERNMENT.

In the Provincial Council on Wednesday evening, the Provincial Secretary stated that, in consequence of the vote come to during the previous sitting, the Government had considered it then* duty to tender their resignations to His Honor the Superintendent ; and they now, therefore, only held office until their' successors were appointed. He believed that the hon. member for Tuapeka had been in communication with his Honor, and probably the hon. member would be in a position to explain what steps had been taken. In the meantime he moved that the House adjourn. Of course the day for reassembling could be named afterwards. Mr Bastings explained that his Honor the Superintendent senfc for him that morning, and accordingly he interviewed his Honor. He had also undertaken the task of forming an Executive ; and, consulting the convenience of members residing ■within a convenient distance of town, who desired to go home, and considering that Monday next would be a holiday, he had decided that the House adjourn until Tuesday. With the consent, therefore, o£ the Provincial Secretary, he moved to that effect. After a little discussion the House did adjourn until 2 p.m, on. Tuesday next.
