A third or middle party gays its passage is impoßßiblo,~an"d That to soon asitrOiakeS; iU appearance the end may come at any moment by means of yfa adverse vote and appeal to the country; In and between these expressions the mere wisper is breathed that surprise is in store, and that a bill for the repeal of the Triennial Parliaments Act will be brought down. If men of influence could be i in duced to brings down such a measure, I verily believe it would be largely supported. All the more respectable admit triennial Parliaments are atiiistako, and that numer ous legislative iarces have: been enacted in consequence — to wit, the Licensing Bill, with its elective function and other absurdi ties. The present being' the last session, the elective clause is welltinderstood to be mi-rely a bid for the temperance .rotes at next election. In the Council this 'clause is likely to be struck out, and indeed the whole bill stands a good chance of being upset. Sir.G. Grey's Law Practitioners Bill is attracting attention. Influential members are sanguine of its passage throogh both Houses. Sir G orge himself says, , if he gets the support of the press he will be bound to carry it. So far the members of the legal profession in the House have been silent on the subject. Amongst the general public the bill is popular.. There are serious wild rumors afloat, which' please take for what they are worth." The sevetitrt Minister will not be appointed .Jill the. close of the session,, and Mr Wake- will not be the man.. To. lessen his disappointment, apolitical Upder-SeereUry ship will be providedj and the member for Geraldine rewarded accordingly. Thus the Government would secure improved, generalship in the Lower House. Mr Whitaker will resign his seat in the Cpiinqil and get returned for a northern constituency at next election. Mr Lundon will contest Waipa, and the Opposition have promised that if unsuccessful \n, getting that seat they will en being called to form a Government get him called to the Upper House. Mr Hirst returned yesterday. .. Mr Bain, who has- been confined to hra residence by a slight indisposition, hat recovered, and takes his seat to-morrow.
