POLITICAL NOTES.
[by electric telegraph.] ■» ■ [The following was forwarded to us last evening, but unfortunately too late for insertion.] Wellington, Wednesday. There is a great deal of interest taken here in political circles in consequence of rumors having been prevalent that Mr. Stafford would join the Ministry at the expiration of the present session ; but it is alleged on good authority that such an alliance is quite improbable, although it is understood that he will give his assistance during the Session to carry Government measures. It is understood he entertains very opposite views to the Ministry in regard to dealing with the Land Fund, they insisting upon its localisation, and as he is in favour of making it general revenue, no alliance could possibly take place, except under an entire change of the personnel of the present Government.
