PARLIAMENTARY.

(FR»M OCR O\V>' CORRESPONDENT.) Wellington, this afternoon. As I stated last week Ministers have determined to bring the session to a close as early as possible, and the probabilities aro that the business will be concluded by Thursday week, 6th proximo, at the latest.

The Public Works Statement, is, I understand, to be brought down almost immediately, either to-morrow or Wednesday at the latest. Mr Cadman, who has been confined to his bed with a sore throat since Tue&day last, is still indisposed and was unable to
