REFUSAL OF MINISTERS TO SEND FOR TROOPS.
The Wellington Evening Post of December 10th, says :—" We understand that his Honor the Superintendent waited yesterday on his Excellency the Governor, to present a petition numerously signed by the inhabitants of this city, that his Excellency would immediately endeavor to procure the aid of Imperial troops. "His Honor urged upon his Excellency, as the wish of a large class of the community, that, we should at once request from the Governors of tho Australian Colonies the troops stationed there. His Excellency, although inclined to accede to this request, could not do so without xhe consent of his responsible advisers. The Ministry, after a long deliberation, announced that they did not feel justified in advising his Excellency to adopt the course suggested." _____
