: It is dimcnlt at this distance from Wellington I to calculate the object and the bearing on j parties in the House of Mr Macandrew's intended resolutions and bills. These are to constitute the Otago members into a Board of Works for the Otago district, and the Board of Education into a Corporation ; the latter to have vested in it the large endowments for education, the latter to have the power to virtually hold and administer *he land revenues of the r.ow province. That this will form new combinations and parties in the House i 3 beyond a question. I Mr Macandrew's first, object of worship is his province, and true to his character he moves to provide for fixing its land fund For local purposes and administration for e,ver, in the event of Abolition of the Provinces. And with, a gushing earnestness fchat is striking, the Government profess their readiness f;o do even more than thejr aro asked, and not only give such hostages to Qfcago, but to all other places that the land fund shall bs irrevocably fixed. Aftfjrfthis declaration it will be interesting to note by wb'ab arguments any Auckland m«mber will now support the Abolition proposals of lihe Government. *' The principle " c Mr, Macandrew's :?esoh;tior.a was, rjakl Mr. Atkinson "ie accord, •wljib, f'he bill and ■he v?as prepared to :;p 5 lifcfcle further than the Lon. gentleman proposes/ and having constituted such Boards of Works would " appropriate the resi.iue of laud, fund -to them immediately/ 7 I* sesms apparent fchat the constitutional question; has now entered on a new stage, end the confusion that is likely.to result, while obaeucinc for the time the position of combatants, is absolutely certain to show to the Ministry the utter impossibility of getting tho measures through during the present session. We venture to think that these resolutions of Mr. Macandrew's aro rolled as an "Apple of Discord" into the camp of the enemy, ai!fl that through the smoke and di» jreanlting, the
