      SATtTEDAYi June 5 j T ^ b tiiorning sitting of the lititisedfClomirions y ^ terda ^ was occupied in votihg supplies . ' Ah the evening sittiiig , otiiMii order o ( f the"Mf Mr going into comtilittee upbn tfie iTew- 2 eakrid GfoVferrtmeirit Bill , Sir j . PaSingtoit explained certain ch&dges whicih he ptcipo&d to liiake in the bill . Since tie second reading , lie observed , he had received stiggestiohsi intrinsically valuable , from Several quarters

      entitled' to the greatest weight . These' iriggestlons be examined ih detail , arriving at the coriclu § iori that tie preferred the' bill as it stood to either of the alternatives they offered ; but ; having had an opporttihity , he added , of cdnsulting parties connected With the" different provincial localities in 2 ? Tew Zealand , as tvell ah others interested in the coldiiy , he had . takeii theit opinions , and was able to say that they unanimously desired that the bill should be pfdceeded with as it stood rather tlisift that either of the

      alternatives should be adopted . Anxious , however , to itiSei the suggestions he had referred to as far as he coiild , h ^ had determined , with the consent of the parties he had consulted , to make an impbTtaht alteration , namely , that instead of the superintendents of the provinces beiilg riomiiiated b ^ the Governor , they should be elected , lie proposed likewise to leave to the different localities the question of

      salaries . Sir John further explained his final opinions respecting the ETew Zealand Company , —tfariiely , that , instead df 5 s ; per acre , the company should receive brie fourth of the purchase-money on sales of waste lands ; his object being , he said , to secure to that company whatever it was entitled to under the act of 1847 . With respect to the disposal of lands iti the colony , he intended to place at the disposal of the Ideal Legislature all revenues derivable -from any mineral discoveries ;

      After an irrelevant discussion , the House went into committee . Sir W . Moxesworth moved the omission , of the second and all the succeeding clauses before tho 32 d , referring to the-provincial councils , substituting a clause empowering the General Assembly to incorporate the inhabitants of any district , arid to establish therein a council for its local government , with power to make orders and by-laws for any matters specially submitted to the direction and control of the council by any law of the General Assembly . This amendment was opposed by Sir J . Fakington , and negatived .

      Ingoing through the clauses , the following alterations were made .- —In clause 22 , the quorum of the provincial councils was reduced from half to one-fourth ; in , the 29 fch clause , the period for disallowing bills was reduced froni two years to three months ; in clause 88 , the words limiting the number of the members of tho Legislative Council were omitted . In considering the last-mentioned clause , the question whether the members of the Upper Chamber should be nominated or elected , underwent much

      discussion , the elective principle being advocated by Sir W . Molebwobth , Mr . F . Peex , Mr . Addeblet , and other members ; and opposed by Sir J . Pakington , Mr . Walpoi / b , and Lord J . Mannebs . The committee divided tipon the claose , which was carried by 182 against 89 . In point of fact , there was a very strong feeling in favour of an elective Upper Chamber , but many of the dissentients gave way , because they were anxious the bill should pass ; and others , on account of tho declaration of Sir John Pakington , that he would not accept any alteration in this particular .

      On arriving at tlio 74 th clause ; tho Chaibman reported progress , and had leave to sit again on Thursday . In reply to a question put by Lord D . Stuart , tho Chanokixob of tho Exohkqtteb said the Government had placed npon the table all the papers relating to tho case of Mr . Mather , and among them a despatch specifying " tho ulterior measures" which they were disposed to take . Several bills wore forwarded a sttfge , and the Hotiso adjourned at two o ' clock until Monday .
