The following is the address delivered by the
Superintendent on opening the 11th session of the
Provincial Council on the 11th of July :
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Provincial
Council,—The correspondence which was published
in the Provincial Government Gazette on the 21st
of June last will have sufficiently explained to you
the cause of your being summoned to meet thus un-
expectedly, and for the third time within a short
period. lam sure you will perceive that the exi-
gencyof this occasion necessitated your being called
together, and that it has become imperative to re-
move, so far as your power extends, any uncer-
tainty which mqy hang over our present mode of
dealing with the waste lands of this province, aris-
ing from the delay which has occurred in obtaining
the assent of her Majesty to the Waste Land Act
of the General Assembly.
" On a recent occasion, when I had the honour of
addressing you, I felt called upon to characterise
the action of the Colonial-office with respect to the
emigration arrangement of this Province, under the
Auckland Waste Land Act, as being inconsiderate
and ill-advised ; it has been found to be, in fact,
highly injurious to the interests of Auckland.
" You will have learned, from the despatch of the
Secretary of State, which has been made public,
the ground upon which it was thought to be neces-
sary to refer the Waste Land Act, 1858, to the
General Assembly for amendment. It would ap-
pear that more mature consideration and more com-
plete information have modified the views of the
Colonial Minister, and that that Act, which vali-
dates our local law, may now have received the
Queen's assent.

" I have already expressed to you my opinion
that the Waste Land Act, 1858, would finally be-
come law; and as her Majesty's representative in
Now Zealand had assented to the Auckland Waste
Land Act ; as the General Assembly of the Colony
were pledged to give it validity ; and as the imme-
diate advisers of the Crown have taken no objec-
tion to its particular provisions, or to the principle
of confiding the administration of the waste lands
in the several provinces to the respective provincial
Governments, I have no hesitation in continuing
to carry out the provis ons of the Act which
you have passed, and which in its effect on im-
migration and the settlement of the country, has
already conferred such signal advantage upon
Auckland.

"As, however, it is possible that the influence
which has procured the delay in obtaining the
Queen's assent may be sufficiently powerful to pro-
long the existing state of suspense, and as his Ex-
cellency's advisers here think it advisable that
doubts of the legality, of our proceedings should be
immediately removed, I thought it my duty to
comply with the invitation of the Colonial Secre-
tary, and at once to summon this Council for the
purpose of giving to the Auckland Waste Land Act,
1858, the form of regulations which the Waste
Land Act of 1854 enables a Provincial Council and
Superintendent to make, and to recommend to the
Governor to be issued and put in force. _ _

" The proposed regulations have been already
published, and will be submitted for your considera-
tion as soon as the period specified by the Act—
namely. 14 days from the commencement of the
session—shall have expired.
" I received from the several emigration agents
of the province assurances of the continued atten-
tion which, in Great Britain, is being attracted to
Auckland as an eligible field for emigration. lam
advised that in the course of this year a very coti-
siderable addition to our population will be made;
and that among the intending emigrants there are
being organised, under very favourable circum-
stances, two associations for the purpose of forming
special settlements.
" The respective agents appointed by these asso-
ciations for the purpose of selecting the sites may
be expected to arrive immediately.
" I have now only to state that, in anticipation
of the regular session of the Council at the close of
the year, it is not my purpose to bring any measure
before you except that which you have been spe-
cially summoned to consider.
" J. WILLIAMSON, Superintendent.
" Provincial Council Chambers, Auckland,
July 11."

DEATH FROM EATING A FUNGUS.—Mr. Newton,
coroner, held an inquest a few days ago at Collingham,
Notts, on the body of Thomas Batter, a boy eight years of
age. The father of the deceased said his son Thomas had
accompanied his brother into the fields to look for mush-
rooms. They found a qxantity and returned home with
them. At dinner time the boy complaixed of a pain in his
head and could not eat anything. At 7 o'clock the same
evening, upon his parents undressing him, he screamed
every timelie was touched, and appeared in great agony,
shrinking from every one. His mind became affected, and
at midnight he expired. The surgeon made a post mortem
examination of the body of the deceased, and arrived at the
conclusion that the deceased met with his death from par-
taking of a poisonous fungus which he mistook for mush-
room,
