A Public Meeting had been called at Wellington, which was to be held on Wednesday last, to receive the report of the Committee appointed at a previous Meeting to prepare suggestions for a iorm of a Constitution for the Colony more adapted to the wants, and founded on more liberal principles than that proposed by Sir George Grey.
