Wellington, July 21
The Commissioners of the Public Debt report that the funds held by them on the 30fch June last amounted to £157,859.
There is no probability of a division on Mr Ormond's motion before Tuesday. Both sides appear equally anxious to allow of Mr Driver's arrival, as he is certain to carry two other votes with him, which both sides hope to get ; but even giving the Government this advantage the Opposition have a clear majority of three. All other business is postponed pending the result of the division. The impression is that Ministers, if defeated, will not ask for a dissolution, but will resign, in the hope of Mr Ormond being unable to carry on the business. There is little doubt, however, that Mr Ormond is acting with a strong party, and is quite able to form a powerful Ministry.
