It is reported that Mr Whitaker will be a candidate for the district of Eden at ihe forthcoming general election. Sir Robert Douglas will very likely stand for Marsdcn. Mr Troupe, who delights in calling Sir James Ferguson "my esteemed friend," will very likely contest Franklyn. His Honor, Judge Fenton, is also, it is stated, very desirous of obtaining a seat in the House, and so is our " Grecian" friend, Mr Hugh Carleton. G-eaeral News. We have here at present several moneyed men from Victoria who are desirous of getting suitable blocks of land for settlement. They have visited the Tauranga district, and are at present at Wangarei. Waikato, too, is also included in the districts to be inspected. From Tauranga a report comes that" Mr Stewart has ordered off all his neighbours' cattle from his Katikati lands, The amount realised for Captain! Burton's property; in Hobson street, is looked upon its very satisfactory. An amusing item comes from Waikato. At Cambridge, a meeting was convened to discuss the Representation Bill. One speaker moved, " That this meeting views with alarm, &c." Exception was taken to the word " alarm," and for nearly an hour, the discussion waxed warm, some considering it unparliamentary, others thinking it was disrespectful to the House; a few thought that it showed something like animus against ministers, and so on, until, ultimately, the word disapprobation was inserted, accepted by the meeting, and the resolution agreed to. The acceptance of an amendment to include a portion of the East Coast in. a new district, so as to make Mr William Kelly's seat safe at Opotiki, is the latest move made by Ministers at Wellington to secure a servile supporter a seat.
