In order to imtke room fr-r the^imiinrtant English news? which will he found in the Supplement, nnd also to enable us to furnish a large instalment of th<» proceedings in tlie House of Eepresentative«s, we exclude, for the present, much of our leading and other matter.

The Provincial Council met on Saturday at 2 o'clock. The Sneaker announced hiving receiver! the following Message fn»m his Honor the Superintendent: — The Superintendent of the Province of Auckland hcis received the Debentures P.ill t'nnsimttpd for fv's assent by the Provincial Council The Superintendent will not withhold absent to the Bill in its present shape, but recommend"* to the Council that it be amended by substituting the word "ten" for the word " eight" in the rate of interest. He is induced a second time to make this request, because he has been sjiven to understand that the rejection of his former proposition to the snme effect was carried when but few members of the Council w.?re present. The very serious results that must ensue in the total stopwig" of public works, should a loin not be pffected. which the Superintendent believes would be the ease at a lower rate of interest upon Debsntnres than ten per cent., justifies him, he considers, in formally submitting the proposed amendment.
