The winds durin the run were 31 days fair, 13 days light, 4 days c:ilin, and ‘.21 days head winds. There in not inuch important news. The require- incnts of the new Constitution Bill had 'i~ondi>.i-ud it a ditlicnlt inzitier to obtain can- ditlnti-s professing the “property qualiﬁ- 'cation.” As to the ultimate result ofthose olections nothing definite is said in the ad- ‘viccs brought by the Lightning, although ‘it wassuspectcd that the ministerial ty in the new Legislative Council woul find itself in it minority. Our Sybey advice‘ inform us that a mini.-iterial crisis was imminent. Upon this subject a Sydney correspondent writes:-"Ministers have announced a set of measures which they are prepared to bring forward, but they have not yet laid their bills on the table, or even described them, so that we are not yet in possession of the full ministerial policy. Their sclietne for the re-arrangc- ment of the public oﬁices has been 0- pounded in order that they might get leave to create a new department of land and public works, and transform the Auditor General from it political into ll judicial oﬂicer. The opposition, wishing to bring on a discussion on the general question of nilininistration, objected to consider the rcsoliitions of the Ministers, which related only to the one department, to be changed. Donaldson gave way and substituted a resolution declarin it expedient to have live departments as speciﬁed in their plan. Mr. Martin brought forward an amendment containingtlie scheme he propounded ‘ the draft rcpoit brought itp by himself as ‘ch.-iii-nnin ofa select commilee on the subject last year.
