It is understood that the necessary Order in Council authorising sale of 20,000 acres at Oraua to Douglas and Co. was signed today by his Excellency the Governor.

NELSON, Thursday.

I Mr. Luokie addressed a large meeting of his constituents last night. He dwelt principally on the abolition of provinces question, and stated it was time that all the provinces were swept away and the land funds made colonial revenue. He referred to the system of provincial finances in Auckland and Wellington as rotten in the I extreme, and calling for the interference of | the General Government. He said Wellington rodo rampant through the Audit Act, and the "sturdy beggar" was always trying to extract money from the General Government. It was high time the General Government reigned supreme in the colony. His reference to the abolition of the provinces was received with loud cheers. A vote of confidence was unanimously passed.
