(PEOM OUE OWN COBBESPONDENT.) ) Wellington, Friday. The second reading of the Vote by Ballot bill has been carried by 34 votes to 23. The Libel Bill is going through com-' mittee with a narrow majority. ; Carleton's Bill for repealing the East Coast Titles Investigation Act, has been thrown out. Mr. Rolleston declared that the South would support the Government if it would annex the disturbed districts to ■ Hawke's Bay. Since the delivery of the financial statement, Mr. Fox has given notice as follows : — " That this House has no confidence in the policy of the Government: first, because, whilst approving of a financial dissolution of partnership between the colony and the provinces, this House is of opinion that the arrangements for carrying it out are eminently unfair ; second, because no advantage accrues in the shape of reduction of taxation ; third, because no" provision has been made for limiting in future the expenditure for. native and defence purposes; fourth, because of the uncertainty that prevails as, to the future mode of Government of the' Colony, and the territorial divisions of the country." The debate upon the motion will come off on Wednesday next. The farewell banquet to Sir George Grey will be given on Tuesday next.
