THH TBUANI MEMBER. fßx Tblbgbaph.] (FBOM OVR OWN COBBB9PONDKNT.) WELLINGTON, Oer. 6. Mr H. G. Wright has arrived here, for the purpose of cosferring with Ministers. The member for Stanmore has returned here from the North. [FMB PBHBS ABBOOUTIOK.] Mr E. G. Wright arrived here from Ohristchuroh this morning, to confer with the GoTernmenfc with regard to the vacant portfolio, and, also, as to the appointment of a Hoyal Commission to report upon the Middle Trunk railway. The Wellington Times of to-day says: The rumour that Mr Wright, M.H.B. for Ashburton, has been offered the vacant Ministerial portfolio, is correct; but he has delayed in intimatirg Mb acceptance. The reason assigned for this is that he desires the post of Minister of Public Works in preference to that of Postmaster»General offered him. Against; the change publio opinion would demur in most parts of the Colony, and none more so than in the Wellington district. Tho portfolio of Public Works is at present in very trustworthy keeping in the hands of Mr Walter Johnston.
