A resolution was carried by a good majority asking the Prime Minister to give the House an opportunity of early consideration of the Order-in-Council and the report of the commission. The following were appointed as a deputation to wait on the Prime Minister: Messrs. Isitt, Witty, Mitchell, Savage, Brown, J. S. Dickson, Field, Williams, Thacker and Hunter.” The deputation waited on the Prime Minister, who gave it a very patient hearing, and promised it that he would confer with his colleagues. He would let the deputation know definitely by Friday whefi an opportunity would be given. It would not, in any case, be before next Wednesday. Anorher point raised by the deputation, said the Prime Minister, would be referred to the Crown law offices. PROSPECTS NOT FAVORABLE. Wellington, Oct. 26.
