(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.) Wellington, November 20. The Bill reducing the Miners’ Right fee to ten shillings was read a third time, and passed. The Financial Statement threatens a discontinuance of subsidies to all local bodies. Mr Pyke has given notice to move in Committee of Supply the Resolution : " That the House will not assent to such discontinuance till other and adecpiate pro - vision has been made for a prosecution of Local Works.” The House is getting through the business with rapidity. Thirty-six Motions, and sixteen Bills were dealt with last night. DREADFUL TRAGEDY. A dreadful tragedy occurred here on Wednesday—Meller, a youth of nineteen,, murdered his Father and Mother, and then committed suicide. It is supposed to have been committed during a tit oi phrenzy.
