The resolutions proposed at the Public Meeting in the Town Hall last night were carried almost unanimously, and will be fouud in another column. An attempt was made to amend the second and third; but the feeling of the meeting was decidedly in favour of the principles embodied in the original resolutions, and very few hands indeed were held up for the amendments. It is satisfactory to know that our representatives at Wellington will be put in possession of these resolutions before the liunl vote is taken on the motion now before the House. And there can bo no doubt that those who are now endeavouring to place Native Affairs on a satisfactory basis, will find themselves greatly strengthened by the decision arrived at last night. All classes and interests, as well as all shades of political opinion, were represented, and on no question of public importance has such thorough unanimity beeu displayed in Canterbury.
