Ministers decided this morning to grant tho Public Trust Office Commissioners a fortnight's extension of the timo allowed for presenting their report. As we go to press wo learn that Mr. . Wigley has abandoned his intention of , claiming his forfeited soat in tho Legislative ( Council. Tho stcamor Wairarapa, from Sydnoy, with a Brindisi mail, arrivod at Auckland at 10 this morning. Tho Wellington portion of hor mail should reach horo on Friday night by tho Manawatn train. ( Ministers have, wo learn, decided to grant Mr. Hamcrtou, the JPnblic Trustee, three months' leave of absonco, on account of illness, his health having completely broken ■ under tho strain and anxiety of the rocent searching enquiry into tho working of the department. It is, we believe, improbable that Mr. Hamorton will be able to resume i his official duties evon at the expiry of the present term of leave, in which case Parlia- 1 mont will, it is understood, bo asked to pro- i yido a retiring allowance. Tho Government ] in this matter are boliovod to bo acting after s consultation and with tho concurrence of tho f Royal Commissioners. ] Few peoplo_ havo any [idea at present to what propoitions tho "unemployed" diffi- j culty has grown. No loss than 341 men are ' employed on relief works in different parts - of tho colony. Of those, 88 aro in Iho Wellington district, and 39 of them aro known to bo married men, with families left in the city. Thoro aro 74 men provided with work at the Boaloy, 64 on road works at Catlin'B n River, Otago, and 120 on railway works in the samo locality. Tho total is a long way bolow that of six or sovon yoars ago, but ia still largo onough to give causo for grave 5 consideration. A concert and dance in aid of Mr. and J Mrs. Payno, tho parents of the lato Alfred Payno, well remembered in this city, was - 1 held in tho Temperance Hall, Adelaide-road, last evening, and proved a great success. , The attendance was very large, tho seating * capacity of tho hall being taxed to its 6 utmost. Mr. G. Fisher, M.H.R., occupied the chair, and opened tho concert with a few * appropriate remarks, alter which songs woro given by Messrs. R. Smith, G. Hudson, H. Brookly, — Parker, E.Williams, — Gosnoy, and tho Mis3es Chqrleys. Mr. J. Donaldson gave an Irish jig and hornpipe, and J recitations werp givon by Mr. C. Hale and Miss Thomson. Musical selections were - rendered by Messrs. Barchum and Bell and the Grey Bros. After the concert was over . three hearty choerß were given for the Chairman, and the floor was then cleared for ' dancing, which was kopt up till an early hour on Tuesday morning. Mr. Janson acted as M.C,, and first-class music was supplied gratis by Mr. Dean. Taken altogether, the concert and danco was a thorough : success, and everyone present soemod to thoroughly onjoy themselves. A letter was . read from Mr. George Payne, on behalf cf Mr. and Mrs. Payno, thanking the Tramway | and Bus Co.'b employe's, for their kindness, generosity and sympathy in timo of need. ■, A model of St. Peter's, Rome, is now boing exhibited at tho Exchango Buildings, \ Lambton-quay. Particulars as to the price of admission, &c, will bo found in our ad- ] vortising columns. The cold weather having now thoroughly J sot in, ladies should call and inspect our , warm dress materials, which havo been - bought late in the season at half the originaL prico.
