(FROM TUB I'KKSS aukncy.) Wellington, October 22. The leading members of t e Opposition invited those who voted with them on Mr. Larnach's no-confidence motion to a meeting which was held to-day. Thirty-three were present, and eight of the party sent reasons for their unavoidable absence.

It was agreed that no undue pressure should be brought t> bear on the Government to induce them to bring down the financial statement, but that all reasonable time should be afforded. None of the Middle party were invited, but it is said some eigl.t or ten will vote with the present Opposition.
