______________________________________________■ The sins of the Opposition are visited upon the Government, and it strikes us us being a very cheap stick with which to beat the Miuisters. It is laid to tho charge of tho Government that, though Parliament has been in session two months, nothing litis been done; that there has been a total collapse of the Ministerial policy ; iv fact, that the House has adopted the policy of keeping Ministers in and their measures out. Tho first policy Bill of tho session was tho Representation Bill that embodied the Hare system, which had to be withdrawn through the alleged stupidity of members, who asserted that they could not understand its provisions. The next Bill dealt with tho reform of tho Legislative Council, which was thrown out because the Lords did not perceive tho necessity for any reform of their Chamber. The Hospitals and Charitable Aid Bill did not meet with tho approval of the country, and it in all probability will not begone on with. The Bill for the classification of the Civil Service, mentioned in the Governor's speech, has not beon brought forward. The Property As!-c*smcnt IMH, after its stonewalling, has been put at the bottom of the order-paper, and is likely to bo abandoned. The Copyright Bill was introduced and withdrawn in the Upper House. The Medical Practitioners' Bill will be stuck up by the Lords. It is not thought that tho Bankruptcy Bill will be proceeded with. The Registration of Electors Bill i-* important, and the Government hope to puss it. But though so many measures have had to be dropped, it by no means follows that the session has been a barren one. It has been very far from being so. The proceedings of the session have convinced the country of the absolute necessity of reducing the number of tho member* of the House of Representatives bo as to give the electors a chance of weeding out the culls—the men who make business impossible, and bring Parliament into disrepute.

During July there were 22 wet days in Auckland. The Chief Justice leaves Wellington on a circuit to Napier and Gisborne on Monday. At a meeting of superintendents last night it was decided to try and establish a Band of Hope Union for Hawke's Bay. The committee of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday passed a resolution disapproving of the "now Customs regulations. The subject of the Ruv. J. G. Paterson's sermon to-morrow morning will be "Seeking God's Face." The subject of the evening lecture will be "Called as Witnesses in the First Court." Notwithstanding tho rainfall this winter, which was greater than we have experienced for many years, the ground is so hard on j tho Hastings racecourse that the ploughing up of the training track, which was attempted yesterday, had to be abandoned. The pulpit of tho Methodist Free OhuroL will be occupied to-morrow by Mr J amis Saunders. His subject in the morning will he "Parables in Lite," and in the evening, "Is the Reign of Christ Limited ?" All are earnestly invited, and all seats are free.
