The session, which will be opened tomorrow, may be a very long or a very short one, but there was never a session less likely to be common (dace and ordinary. The greatest question to bo fought over will un> doubtedly be the revision of the tariff, which will introduce the protection and free trade argument. It is extremely unlikely that such a revision of the tariff as would embrace a ; rotective policy will be agreed to, and the issue will in consequence probably be left over for next session. The Bepresentation Bill will be desperately fought, too, and if the strength of the North Island members lasts out, it will be carried no doubt. The Land Acquisition Bill, we believe, will not be pressed this session ; and the Female Suffrage Bill is also very likely to be shelved for the next session of Representatives.

A deputation representing the Friendly Societies of Wellington waited upon the City Council the other evening to ask what assistance the Council could render them towards the Jubilee celebration. One member of the deputation (Mr Webber) said he thought that there was something like £IOO of an unexpended balance of the moneys subscribed by the public towards the demonstration held eight or ten years ago on the occasion of the opening of the railway to Feutherston. This was intended to have been spent in giving a treat to the school children who took part in the demonstration, and he thought that the Council of that day was the general committee for carrying out the object. The Mayor said he did not think there were any funds in hand from the Featherston demonstration.
