ECHOES FROM THE HOUSE.
Honorable members have got through a deal of talking during the past week, but there has been very litt’e practical work done. Very many hours have .been devoted to the Land Act, 1c77, Amendment Biff, which passed its second reading without a division. The Telegrams Protection Biff, after a whole night’s debate, has been brought back to the condition in which it was first introduced to the House some weeks ago, and Sir George Grey’s Constitution Amendment Biff, one of the most wildly absurd and revolutionary measures that ever emanated from the active braim of that eccentric old gentleman, baa been thrown out. The division that took place on the last named Biff shows con clusively that the Government can hold their own against the united Oppositions, aud that they have really nothing to fear from the allied forces of the wily Grey and the mighty Montgomery. The Oppositions

“ Went to meet their fate In a highly nervous state.”

aud the tone of their last “ tarautara ” showed that they did not half relish beiug forced to a division.
