LATEST TELEGEAMS.

Timabu, April 29. A very large and noisy meeting took place last night. A motion merely thanking Mr Moorhouse for his attendance, and protesting against provincial institutions was passed. The following motion was proposed, but no one would second it: " That this meeting pledges itself to support Mr

Aloorhouse." Mr Moorhouse pressed the meeting to give aome expression of opinion, when a man named Kent came forward and said, though he would not pledge himself to support Mr Moorhouse, he would propose that Mr Moorhouse was a lit and proper person to be Superintendent. This was seconded, and on a show of hands being called a few were held up for it, and a number against it ; but the chairman (Mr Beswick) ruled that it was carried. Very few voted either way. You may rely, at the very least, on a majority for Mr Eollestoii of four to one. Wellington, April 20, 7.20 p.m. Mr and Mrs Fitzherbert are passengers by the Omeo for Melbourne to-day.
