The Lyttelton Times.

Wednesday, October 11, 1854.

The meeting of Lyttelton Electors, conrened in the Town Hall on Monday evening last, for the purpose of receiving Mr. Fitz Gerald's explanations, is. at present the prevailing topic of conveisation in this tcwn. The meeting was very fully attended, and the speeches delivered were listened to with the deepest interest and attention. We have devoted the whole of our available space to a report of the meeting for the benefit of our friends on the other side of the hill who were not able to attend. Any slight omissions and inaccuracies must be pardoned when the difficulty is considered of giving, with the means at our disposal, an accurate report of narratives extending over so long a period, and embracing so many subjects of interest to the community. They give a resume of the whole history of the Session, viewed in different lights. We will reserve any remarks which we may have to make on the subject until we are able to publish a few of the documents alluded to in the course of the evening. The resolutions, passed without a dissentient voice, except that of Mr. E. J. Waketield, express very strongly the opinion of ihe electors of. Lyttelton upon the conduct of their Representative. Mr. E. J. . Wakefield's long explanation was listened to with astonishing patience. The attempt, however, to make political capital of a scene got up by the Wakefield party for the sake of distracting public attention from their general policy, was far too palpable for the electors of Lyttelton. The attempt utterly failed, —and is another specimen of Mr. Wak-efield's folly in undervaluing the understanding and honesty of the electors of New Zealand.
