Wellington, This day

Among the questions to come before the Anglican Synod will be the voting of women at Church elections ; religious education in state schools ; the establishment of a general pension fund ; and the appointment of the Bishop of Nelson. The weather continues fine but very hot. A large number are going to the port for the regatta and to witness the submarine display arranged by Captain Falconer.

A new evening paper is to be started here in the Liberal interst. Considerable promises of support have been secured, and in a few days it will be placed before the public in a company form.

Neither the Governor nor the Government have yet received any intimation as to who the new Governor is likely to be. The Chief Justice, by virtue of what is known as a dormant Commission, will be sworn as acting-Governor, receiving halfpay both as Judge and Governor. This will interfere with the Napier sessions, and some re-arrangement will have to be made.

The Government have not yet made up their minds as to the Legislative Council nominations, but it is quite possible they will not be submitted to Lord Onslow but to the new Governor. They will be pretty numerous, and will include labor representatives drawn from the ranks of working men. As to the lists published, purporting to contain the names, the Government say they are mere guesses, no finality beiug yet arrived at.

The first annual show of the O mondville Horticultural and Industrial Association passed off very successfully last Friday, fine weather favoring the promoters. At 2.30 p.m. Mr R. Harding opened the show in a short speech. The local competitors proved that they were able to hold their own, carrying off the bulk of the prizes. Of the outsiders, Mr S. M‘Greevy, of Waipawa, secured prizas for wheat, oats, and ryegrass seed, and Miss A. Inglis for a collection of jams.
