THE CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES.
[BY TELEGRAPH — CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Sunday. For the Chairmanship of Committees I hear that Mr. Fisher is meeting with considerable support, especially from the Wellington members. Mr. Hamlin's claim to the post, however, is widely recognised, and his friends are actively canvassing for him. The contest, should it come off, promises to be a close one, but if Parliament prorogues and adjourns at the end of this week, which it is generally expected to do, the question will not come up till the House assembles again. A caucus of the Ministerial party will bo held at noon to-morrow, when it is expected that the decision of the party as to the election of a Chairman of Committees will be made.
