PARLIAMENTARY.
A Press correspondent writes :—'" It is now stated on veiy good authority that Mr S_don has decided to nccept Mr Ward's resignation. It is the general opinion that tbe P/emier'e best way out of tbe difficulty, in the event of Mr Ward's resignation, would be to take the portfolio of Colonial Treasurer himself. There are now two Ministers in (be Cabinet without salary, and in tho event of MrSeddon taking the Treasurarship one of these Ministers might become a salaried member of the Government. Mr Word had a good reception on his arrived from tho South. He was met by his colleagues and a large number of members, who received him warmly, and exiressed macb fympathy with him in his misfortunep. The feeling soems lo be changing somewhat in bis vonr ; nevertheless, I think lam absolutely safe in predicting his resignation as a Ministar 'and, a member. Prebably he wi ' be returned again by his old com-tituency.
