A few days subsequently to the deliverance of Mr Balt.asce at Lawrence, Sir Julius Vogkl him self addressed a public meeting at Auckland. The onlv really important point in his speech is the declaration of opinion in favor of an immediate dissolution, and there is no doubt that he will endeavor to induce the Cabinet to tender advice to this effect to his Excellency. Whether the col leagues of the honorable gentleman will be incliued to go so far with him is at least doubtful, in the face of very general expression of disapproval of such a course throughout the country. Sir Julius maintains that the people should he consulted iu regard to the policy of public works, and that there is no time to lose in order that ways and means, by further borrowing, may be provided for the ensuing financial year. He descries, in fact, that a new loan should be authorised forthwith, and feeling reasonably doubtful as to whether the present House will give such authorisation, would appeal to the people to return representatives more amenable to his views upon finance. Sir Julius, in regard to the general policy of the future, speaks only in very general terms. He sneers at the idea of retrenchment, and affirms the desirability of piling ou more and higher Customs d'lties. He advocates a vigorous prosecution of railway construction, including, of course, the four million line over the mountains between Canterbury and Westlaud. The speech was, of course, an able one, but it cannot be cousidered in any single respect satisfactory.
On Tuesday, Mr Parks left Queenstown, with a staff of men for Lake Wanaka, for the purpose of laying off the Pembroke and Glendhu road.
