PRESENTATION AND BANQUET TOCOLOUR-SEKGEANT SELF, VIC-TORIA RIFLES.

Yesterday evening the Victoria RifleVoluuteeru entertained Colour-SergeantSelfat a banquet, for tha purpose of present-ing him with a watch as a mem-mto of thoservices whiuh he had rendered to the com-pany. The occasion for the presentationthe retirement of Colour-Sergeant; Self fromthe office of secretary of the company. Thespread was laid in tha Cook-street Hall,»ud provided by Host J. G. Little, of theTuietle Hotel, in a atylo of excellence whichfar surpassed the expectations of the com-mittee or the guests, and which certainlywas not limited to accord with profit to thecaterer. Nothing was wanting. Tho viandswere excellent, the wines good, and tho sup-ply more thnu 1; oral. About 40 oat down,including, beside* members of the com-pany, Captain Payne of the ArtilleryCompany, representatives of the NavalBrigade, Messrs. T. Cole, \V. J. Suiter,end other citizens. Major Derrom, thoofficer commanding the Victoria Company,was in the chair, with the guest of the even-ing on his right. Lieutenant O. Mahonoccupied the vice-chair. After the sub-atantialu were disposed of, the Chairmanproposed the toasts of "The Queen andRoyal Family," "Hia Excellency the Go-vernor," "The Army, Navy, and Colonial '£>

Force»," "The Legislature," and "TheMajor and Borough Council." .a. braesband, under the leadership of Mr. Lonergap,stationed in tho gallery, supplied the musicappropriate to these and the subsequenttoasts. After this the chairman said hisnext duty was to get rid of the watch whichhad been placed in hie hands to present.At the meeting at which Color-Sergeaab Selfstated that he would be umblo to continueto act as secre'ary of the company, it wasdecided that, on account of the long periodduriug which he had served the company,and his faithfulness in the dischargeof his dut.es, that some mark ofrespect should bo made to him. Asum of money was voted, and n committeewas appointed to make a selection. It waedecided that Mr. Self should have a choiceof the nature of the presentation and heselected a watch. He (the chairman) wasappointed to inxke the selection, and pur-chased the best sdver watch that could beobtaiueJ, and had an inscription engravedon it to the following effect:—" Presentedby the Victoria Company to Colour-SergeautSelf, as a token of esteem, July, 1879." Hefound, on looking over tta records, that Mr.Self had joined the company in May, 1867,more than twelve years ago. He hadattended to his duties and learnt his drill,aud learnt the value of discipline, and inevery instance was obedient to ordtrs. InJune, 1869, he was promoted to bo corporal;aud in May, 1870, he was made sergeant;in December, 1870, he was promoted tobe colour-eergfant, the highest rank inthe gifi of him (Major Derrom). Inthe following year he was electedsecretary of the company. He need nottell them that he had been a good and faith-ful non-cominissioned officer aud secretary,whoh»d attended closely to the interests ofthe company. He had very great pleasurein presenting to Colour Sergeant Self, onbehalf of the company, this memento,trusting that it would be a mfins of direct-ing and indicating to him his future life, Endhoped th»t. he might be able to leave it tohis children and great grandchildren—(laughter)—as a token of the esteem in whichhe was held by the Victoria Company,(Okeeri.) Colour--erge»nt Self said hehardly expected the pleasure of receivingthis memuuto as an acknowledgment of theservices he had been able to reuder to thecompany. Major Derrom had alludud tothose services in flatteringterms, but manyof them had been more of a pleasureto him than a duty. He had a na-tural aptitude for drill. Major Derrom hadcalled the memento small. Ho did notthiuk it f;o, for it was valuable. It wouldperform its duties better than he didhie ascolour-sergeant of the Victoria Company.When he ntated that he could no loader con-tinue to act as secretary of the company itwas after mature deliberation, but he hopadthat so far a3 the duties of colour-sergeantwe:e concerned ho would ba able to performthem as frell or better than ho did before.Hβ did not know whether he would havechildren and great-grandchildren to leavethe presentation to, for he had not the firstyet—(laughter)—but he had nodoubt whenhis time came to answer the last roll-call itwould be found that thin watch would haveperformed its duties better ttiau ever hedid. The vice-chairman then proposed,"Tho Health of Colnur-Sergoanfc Self,"to which he respondel. Mr. .'Suiterproposed " The Auckland Volunu c rs"in a neat speech, and Major L-k nomresponded, giving a history of the movementin this province, lie referred to the presentnative disturbance, deprecating the action ofcertain Volunteer companies in offeringtheir services. The toasts of "Tho Vio-Wia Company" (by Captain Payne, re-sponded to by Major Derrom), "TneLadies, -, "The Prefcß," and "The Most,"wbijh were duly responded to, brought thebusiness to a close. The hall was thencleared aud dancing was commenced, whichwa3 kept up to au early hour this morning.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1879.

A motion' of waut of confidence is thesaturnalia of independent members.Whips kotow to them, leaden seraphi-cally smile on them, dinners beguilethem, their virtues shine with a freshlight, the hope of their patriotism iswhispered seductively into their ears.The avengers of a country's wrongs,the holders of the destinies of the coun-try—what are they not to the party toutswho haunt the lobbies in search of onevote more 1 All bliss is not centered inyour independent member however, thejoy of an ephemeral importance is sharedby the undecided member who "doesnot know," aud " thinks he will," istroubled with "what will they say," andwants to see " what next and next."Walpolo said that all men had theirprice. He knew of no Antipodean world,and the agony of virtue that on the eveof a division might perturb the righteoussoul of a representative of the people.His was the coarse mind, that knew onlythe base influences of which humannature was susceptible ; the direct bribe,flattery, the feeding fat a. grudge. Hoknew notliing of the patriotism whichclings to office for noble objects, andseeks it for the noblest purpose. Werehe in Wellington, his ignoble spirit wouldfail to comprehend on what high publicgrounds a Ministry might struggle toretain office and an Opposition to ob-tain it. What can be more ennobling,nicrereassuring with regard to the futureof this " noble country" than the eagerstruggle of contending patriots to sacriucothemselves on the altar of the country 1To them the emoluments of ofiieo, thepossession of patronage, are but the meansto an end, to inscribe their names on thetablet of fame. If the Government winor the Opposition is it not the same—that virtue is its owix roward —andso many hundreds a-year ! If SirGeorge Grey, throwing aside the caresof office and the recollection of aquarrel, blandly converses with Mr.Ballanco, is not the public weal their onlythought and their ancient quarrel cast tothe winde ? If Mr. Pyke secludes him-self alike from Ministerialists and Oppo-sitionists, is it not that he may pray inprivate for the guidance which shoulddirect his way ? If Mr. Pyke isbeset by the entreaties of both sides,what is it but the maintenance of rightwhich is the object of each. Pyke, likehis touts, is the embodiment of thatvirtuewhich, latent in quiet times,assertsitself when office is the prize and thehope of serving the country tho reward.The emoluments of office, the advance ofrelations, thesatisfying of ambition, the ac-quisition of land, the impulse of envy, thegratifications of revenge, these have noth-ing to do with the struggle which per-turbs Parliament, agitates the papers,and finds but one person calm—tho manwho, representing the majesty of thethrone, is able to discharge his duty unin-fluencedby the turmoil, which, were hoa participant, might perplex him.

It ia an enormity thie greed of office,thesn personal enmities, these detestableartifices, these bribes direct or indirect,this pretence of a country's welfare, whichall understand and most despise. Thisstruggle is not the outcome of publicbutof private motivt> on both sides alike. Ifa worthypublic motive influence this sideto retainoffice, and that side to attain it—if with them some essential points of dif-ference provoke and stimulate thecontest,the means and the instruments both useare a discredit to the country, which isthe prey of machinations which it cannotfathom, and which if it quite knew, nopower it possesses could suppress. SirRobert Walpole, cynic as he was,accurately described human naturewhen he Baid that " it had itsprice." As regards neither side istho political conflict which rages aboutto be settled by the merits of either, butby the mean arts, which trading on theweakness or selfishness of human nature,are using them for the purposes of thehour. And this ie the outcome of ageneral election—that the expression ofpublic opinion, whether for or against theGovernment, maybe baffled in either senseby the odious artifices interposed by thounscrupulous partisans of this side and ofthat ! This is parliuiiu'iitarygovernment,when public opinion, for ill■! Governmentor against it, is made the and prey ofthe intrigues of both sides working for a

majority and caring not how they get it.Perhaps the country, which looks on andfinds the expression of its power sup-planted by such arts, mayponder whetherits interests may not best be served byplacing the possession of office beyondthe reach of the aspirations, greed, andwiles of party.

As a thing certain from " the inexorablelogic of circumstances," the tenantfarmers are on the move from England ;

and, according to the particulars fur-nished by the late mail, the first; wave ofthe coming tide appears to be tendingacross the Atlantic, and mainly toCanada. This is quite intelligible, andwe neednot grudge'the first instalment toCanada. The new movement is quitesure to continue, and after a while thisemigration, of a class particularly desir-able as settleM, because possessing atonce capital, labour, and agriculturalskill, is much more likely to seek othercountries, which, though distant as com-pared with Canada, have greater naturalattractions. We must remember thatemigrationis a novel thing among Eng-lish farmers as a clasi, and the earlyemigrants are not so disposed as theirsuccessors will be to go far in quesi ofnew homes. Canada offers them theadvantage of a short sea voyage, andthe attractions of her new provinceof Manitoba, which, Hi ui»h lying "far in-land, i* accessible fron' -ke ports by rail-wav. Manitoba is the Oanadian quarterof "the great American prairieregion, andit was lately described.by the Times assuperior in wheit-growinor capacity toany of the neighbouring United States.But there the great disadvantage ofthe longand stern Canadian winter, fullyexperienced in Manitoba as so muchfurther from the ocean than the olderprovinces of the Dominion. And thiscircumstance cannot but stand in the wayof extensive settlement while emigrantshave the opportunity of choosing a moreagreeable climate. We know many yearsago Lord Selkirk's attempt to colonisewhat is nosv Manitoba and was then theRed River country did not succeed. Theprospect is different now, because there isa market for the produce of the settlerswhich at that day did not exist ; butnevertheless, Canada always finds in herclimate more or less of an obstacle tokeeping the agricultural immigrants wholand on her shores. There is always alarge per cent.v'e of after-emigration intothe adjoining Onitod States and to otherwarmer latitudes. It is, therefore, notsurprising to find that the Canadians arenow offering peculiar and extraordinaryfacilities to make sure of and retainthe farmers whom tfiey are expect-ing from England. We are told, forinstance, that the Dominion Steam-ship Company propose to the emigrant forthe sum of £200 to give him 320 acres ofland, a wooden cottage, a yoke of oxen,various sorts of stock for breeding, seedcorn for ten acres, seed* for various othercrops, fruit trees, a waggon, a plough,and Rome other agricultural implements,together with a cabin passage and first-claas railway ticket to the township ofWinnipeg ! When, in addition to suchfacilities for getting there, and for settlingdown, we consider that Manitoba has byall accounts a fertile soil, and accordingto the Times a special capacity for raisingwheat, there can be little doubt that aconsiderable amount of settlement willnow be witnessed in that quarter.

Yes, the tenant farmers of Englandare indeed bent on eiingration. We hearof this movement already to Canada andthe neighbouring States of the Union ;

we hear of some of the emigrantsbetaking themselves to Texas with theobject of cattle-breeding ; and thatnumbers are anxious to try their fortunein New Zealand, t'ie distance and expenseof the voyage being the only hindrance toalargemovement hither. Thereareseveralimportant reasons why such emigrantswould be very likely to prefer our colonyif it were not for the difficulty of reach-ing it, and that difficultyit would be wellworth our while to take practical mea-sures to lessen. We cannot bridge thevoyage, but we can abridge the expense,as has been done in some few instancesalready by the Agent-General, when anumber of tenant farmers were accommo-dated with cabin passages at reducedrales. Such an nrrangement could bemade more general. When other newcountries are bidding, as we see, for thisparticular class of settlers, we ought nothere to neglect the opportunity. And wemust not forgot that the pioneers of sucha movement are quite sure to draw othersafter them—that is, of course, when theyfind the local circumstances answerable totheir expectations. As for this emigrationof a new and valuable sort it is bound togo on. Except under some rare, excep-tional, and improbable circumstances,wheat can never again in England risemuch above 403 the quarter, and atthat figure farming cannot pay whenthe farmer has to pay rent onthe one hand and wages on the other.We have repeatedly explained in detailthe new position of the English tenantfarmer. Lord Derby, at a recent meet-ing, advised extensive emigration, andthe farmers can see for themselves thattheir only plan is to emigrate, not onlyextensivelybut as a class. Of that class,intermediate between the proprietor andthe labourer, the occupation is now par-tially gone ; and the emigration of thefarmera will be the prelude of a moregeneral agricultural emigration. Withthe new example, the surplus rurallabourers, who in England hitherto re-sorted to the towns for employment, Trillfind their way across the sea.

As for the advantages which New Zea-land presents to English eyes over othernew countries they are various and un-mistakeable. The climate has the attrac-tion of resembling the English one, onlywith the important difference of beinga great deal better. Then we havenot the severe winter which is experi-enced in Canada and even in theUnited States ; nor, on the other hand,have we those terrible summer droughtswhich are the drawback in Australia, andwhich periodically frustrate farming andgrazing in that otherwise attractive circleof colonies. And there is another important advantage which we possess, andwhich must nor be lost sight of, although,because of the youth of the colony, it isas yet not a matter of realisation but ofopportunity and promise. We can growall the crops that England grows, andiu at least Northern New Zealand muchmore than that. In common with alltemperate countries which may be termedsemi-tropical—that is, countries which iueither hemisphere lie nearer to the torridthan the frigid zone—our island hasclimatie opportunity for raising some o£

those crops which are "novel industries"to English people—which have receivedthat name in Australia, and which are farmore profitable than the cereals and otherEnglish produce, some of them payingfire, and some even ten times as muchper acre. The long list includ s\ichthings as wine, olive oil, tobacco, theorange, lemon, and divers other fruite,tea, silk, madder, arrowroot, &c. Thewarmer temperate countries are thenatural home of all these things, but noone country produces them all in per-fection, for though belonging to the samelatitudes, the climatic conditions are notprecisely the same forall. Again some ofthem, like teaand silk, require an amountof looking after which is a hindrance totheir production in now lands, wherelabour is not yet abundant. .But manyof the products we mention, and othersof the same class, would admit of beingtested, even in the early stage of ourcolonisation, and, as regards wine-growing, an experiment with skilledlabour is now in contemplation bythe Government. So profitable arethese industries that, wherever they areestablished, they take precedence of allothers. In France, every acre which isfound capable of growing tho vine, olivo,or mulberry, is surrendered to their cul-ture. In the Island of Zante, whereraisins are tho cardinal export, the in-habitants devote the ground to that andother high-paying crops, growing no morecorn than suffices for three months con-sumption, and depending on importe forthe balance. Indeed, wherever thebounties of nature are not marred byevil Government, such resources havebeen, in all ages, to Lhe countries whichpossess them the prime elements ofprosperity. We see what they have donefor France in our time. In New Zea-land we have not yet proceeded to ascer-tain the precise character of our capabili-ties in this way. Our agricultural energyhas yet scarcely ventured'beyond theroutine list of crope with which we wereacquainted in our hyperborean father-land. But the fact that the climate hereadmits of an infinitely wider field for ourenterprise isperhaps not sufficiently im-'pressed upon the British emigratingpublic ; yet, with any intelligent emi-grant, it ought to make a very large differ-once between New Zealand and, for in-instance, Manitoba. .

A CiweßEusiONAL Committee was recentlyappointed by the Federal Legislature to in-quire iato the caus: of the depression oflabour throughout the United States andthe Chinese labour question. That coai-mittee has recently been holding it3sittingsin San Francisco and taking evider.ee. TueCollector of Customs of San Francisco, inhis evidouce, deposed that the presence ofthe Chinese people frightaDed oapital away.There was abundance of capital and labourin the State, but the feeling that existedbetween classes was so bitter that capitalwould not iavest for fear of destructionof property. The Chinese paid but asmall portion of the taxes, anil heknew of no dais of people residentin the country who were favourable toChiuese immigration. Another witness,Loring Pickering, y,ave very decisive evi-denca on the question of Chinese labnur :"It will result in breaking up the countiy.Their presence crowdshard upon the workingwomen. No matter how cheap they arewilling to work the Chinamen will work fora little less. The Chinr-sc female pipulationof this city i-i tho youth. Thereare a great many people here who are notgoing to stay if the Chinese remain. Theybring their idols, religion, morals, and cus-toms all with them, and tho toleration ofthem is incompatible with the interests ofour State. In a few yearn the question willbe settled whether Congress tak>.'S any actionor uot. There are probably 125,000of thesepeople on the Pacific ; each one drains us tothe amount of 75 cents per Jay. If we werenot a wealthy people we would be madebankrupt by this draught." The Chinesebegin with market gardening, but they havenow directed their atteution to otherbranches of pro luce. They bave enteredinto the business of raising potatoes, and bycombination now commaudthe market, send-ing into San Francisco 4500 sacks daily. Asa natural result, other counties of the State,where white men raise potatoes, can find lj-vremunerative sale. Actual investigation alsomakes known the fact that theChinese nowcultivate extensive gardens on the uplands,where water can be procured for irrigation,so that the Cninese now monopolize thegarden lands of the State. The San Fran-cisco Pen, hasrecently been dev t'-«g a seriesof articles t;> the expo u c "f Chinese lot-t> ri'is in SanFrancisc <. [- appeirj , althoughillegal, there are nine organised Chineselottery companies in the city, with drawingstwice a day ; that these lotteries are patron,ised by thousands of whitesand Chinese,andhave 300 agencies ; that there are 100 gamesof fantan in full blast every night atthe gambling houees, through whichpasses nearly two millions dollars perannum, of which ono hundred thousanddollars go to tho police as "hu3h money."Daily the number of white people drawninto the vortex of gambling goss on increas-ing, and tho social mischief thus createdis said to be most appalling. GeneralGrant, in one of his letters from China,to his friends at Washington, comments onthe singularaggressive spirit which latterlyhas infected the Chinese. He says, "Theyare a people of wonderful shrewdness andindustry, anil are rapidly monopolising tradeas carriers, merchants, marketer?, and ser-vants, from Bombay eastward. My belief isthat in less time from now than half a cen-tury Europe will be complaining of therapid advanceof China." The whole ques-tion U beset with difficulties out of whichit will puzzle the ablest American statesman,to find a peaceful and equitable solution.

An interesting description of the NewZealand exhibits at the Sydney Exhibition,from our Syduey correspondent, will befound elsewhere. It is worthy of perusal,not only because itgives full particulars ofthe New Zealand court, but because it fur-nishes opinions and comparisons by astranger to the colony, and Ehews us whatis thought of the colony and its resources bythose at a distance. We have also a letterfrom a lady correspondent, but are unableto find room for it to-day, upon the needle-work, lace, &c, sent from this colony. TheExhibition so far has been a failure as re-gards attendance, whilst the catalogue of theNew Zealand court is still in an incompletestate, and tho majority of the exhibits arenot even labelled. Some rough proof-sheersof portions of tho catalogue were kindlysupplied to our correspondentby Dr. Hector,and from these he has been able to compilethe interesting particulars furnishedin hieletter. The mineral and ethnological ex-hibits are not even yet e r t out at all, eothat r.ny description of them has not beepattempted. Indeed, the whole Exhibition iastill, except parts of the main floor, ia &

very incomplete state, and will not; befinished for auother month or six weeks.

NothiDg further has besn heard of the t»n

young men, Donald MoKenzie and AlejcXGeorge, who went out Hslrnpr on Mondayand whose boat has eincobeen found withoutits occupants. Confirmatory of tho testimony of Miss Biddick, who witnessed theupsetting of a boat on Monday, and whichwe published yesterday, is that <4 the Hghfc.house-keeper at Bean Rock, who saw theboat about the time stated, and a squallsuddenly coming on tho boat 6u Idenly die-appeared and was cot t.een anain. CaptainMcKeuzie, the fattier of Donald the missimrboy, and two of the brothers of the unfor.tunate youth, returned to town early yesterday morning after an unsuccessful search"and we can only conclude that the younemen hare found a watery grave.

So excellent have been the representationsof the Chaplin-Oaboma Company at theTheatre Royal that we hope tj see a goodroll-up to-night, when Uisa O.iborne willappear inan entirety new character. ''Cor»,or Article47," haa never yet been played iuAuckland, another good reisou why thelover* of the dr.inia should muster instrength. Biit we have still a better reasonin reserve. It is improbable that play-goerswill have many more opportunities of seeingtheir favourite actress, and we are sure theywill recogniso that Miss Osborne, who has soassiduously catered for their amusemeni, andwho, good house or bad, hasalways done herutmost to fulfil their exp.'dations,should notnow be forgotten. She will protis.bly makeonly one other appearancn on the colonialstage, as she is* about to visit San Franciscoand will not return. It will be well, there,fore, that there should be extended to herto-night a patronage adequately expressiveof the high opiniun entertained of her his-tronic ability.

The men who were thendoubtful h.vo gii.e over to the Opposition,and farther, I -nn told to dtyrhat Tβ Wueorohas been w n ov-r to the Opposition. TeWheor?, as i* well known his been a Go-vernment i.lK.er iu the Waikato for years,and was eleetel as a G >verura«nt supporter.If he vot- 1-' with tiie Opposition they willhave a imjoritv <>f four. Some sti-1 asserttL.it Mr l'yk< will v..te with the Govern-ment, bu- the truth probably U tint thenegotiations l> ive not been concluded Ittakes a lonij time to make up certain minds.I pity both .Ministers and the leaders of

the Opposit o >. I h'-ir life for the past weekhas been most humiliating. A few daysago a Minister, with anxiety written on hiscountenance, met one of the 1-ad-rs of theOpposition in a similar state in the lobby.Both were af ter the same game and eachsmiled as the other. Sid the Minister," We a-e baih -ucli go id and pabriotis manthat [ am sore we will me-t in Paradise.We will then c mparrf notes as to how muchdirt we htve ha I to eat duriug thelast fewdays."

Fourteen ni'n, it is saiH, have beenamused with the hope* of being inadiMinisters. Tne M.io i members hive beenpromised b>- b tn fi lea that all the nativeprisoners s-hi'l be released ; th.it large quan-tities ot tie co'iriaoated Itnda sball bere3torei : that Ta*hivi shall be established ;

snd I do nos know all what besides.At a crisis like the pres°nt, the moat unre-liable members be:ome the m '9t important.A good dal has ben writtenof late en thedefects of repre-enta ive Government, butthis point has not bef-n brought up. I shouldthink, howev-r, that i: is the most piinfulduty any s-l->e<pecting man cm p rformto watch, and humour, and entreat, aadflatter men whom he cannot help despising jand Ministers nn-1 Oppisitioa mnstdo more than all that. Th<-y mustpromise todo things th-t 'bfy kLow to be wrong.A man who has been a Minister or aleaders of the ()p;>osit<on in New Z-alandmu3t have undergone some degradation ofcharacter.

MEMBERS' WIV S.■ Amongst the ladies at present in Welling-ton with their husbands or fathers are agood many arcUnt politicians, who would doa good deil to advance the interests of theparty whoss cause they have espoused.They sedulously att-nd th • H>use, and theylavish kindnrss upon ladies whoss husbandsare of donbtful character politically.

NATIVE MAT [ESS.

As respects native matter*, I may saythat the inacsion of the Government is iusome measure due to a pledge theyhave made to the Governor. He hasdesired them not to tike any step whichmight by any possibility lead ts any dis-turbance with the natives till the Parliamenthas either confirmed them in their positionor elected their successors.

LAST NIGHT'S SPEECHES.In my last night's despatchI stated that

the speech of tne new leader of th? Oppo-sition was disappointing to me, and I findthat my opinion is concurre I in by others.It was a g.ent occnion, for which amplepreparation might hare been made, and theattdress ought to have had all the character-istic features of a good set speech, but hemissedbig things, and dwell on .ittle matters.He wandered, and he displayed little humourer literary skill. Mr. Hall may prove_a goodleader, and a good debater, but bi3 tiret'effort h*s been a disappointment. Verydifferent was the ppeech of Mr. Saundera,which had every characteristic which a goodaddress onght to have. It was one of theablest and mo3t telling speeches I everlistened to. The matter waa good, and themanner vaa quite < qual. Mr. launders hasestablished a claim to a feat in the Ministry,if his pa;ty has a chance of forming onethis session. SirG'orge Grey's speech wascarefully prepared, a id abounded with pas-sages of eloqience. As a debating speech,however, it was a failure.

PREPARED FOR THE ISSUE.Mr. Whitaker ha 3 returned to-day from

Cantarbury with hia wife. Every memberof the House is now here with the exceptionof Mr. Lundou. He cannot reach-here tillSaturday, but, if all parties are ready bs-fore that, the Opposition will allow a pair, j

reconstruction: ;

When the House met at 2 30 the air was|fall of the rumours about the r construction,

of the Cabinet. Thes-i have prevailed more•r less since the beginning of the session,.

'but nothing has takfcii shape till now. Asan objection (x> the reconstiuction plan, itwas felt that the Auckland, members would,feeJ themselves quite free in respect of such aGovernment. They c >u!d not be counteden to support a Macandrew-cum-BillanceMinistry against the Opposition. Shortlyafter the House met Sir George Grey went■p to Mr. Ballance and talked to him inthe most friendly way for some time, andfhia (was thought to give countenance to the

idea of a So far as I canaso-'rtain nothing hn bain done, and no-thing will bo done at all events till tha divi-sion is over.

THE THAMES SEAT.Respecting the Thimes seat, it is s»id tho

different cvididates have agreed to le'xve thechoice of cuidi 1 it<M to the Premier andNative Minister Al the candidates butthe one cho3cn will retire and support hiscandidature. It was aimed formerly that alocal cau'Ud-ite only would be supported bythe Grey party.

MR. SPEIGHT.On.rising ti rcjuma tho debate Mr. Speight

was received with tho cheers usuallyaccorded to a first speech. Soma of hispreliminary observations were not very happyor discreet, and he hit Sir W. fox harderthan he to have done, consideringthat they have been fellow-labourers in theGood Templar field. Mr.'Speight spokeclearly, an 1 ina manner aliniet entirely freefrom the nervousness apparent in youngspeakers. No doubt Mr. Speight is ablen<iv to turn to account the practice he hashid in addressing te-nperance meetings. Hodwelt at considerable length on thn nativeoutrage at tho Thames, defending theconduct of the Native Minister. Heentered upon a defence of the administra-tion of the Ministry in respect of theirdealings with charitable aid and localbodies, anl attacked Mr. Snunders, andchaffed Mr. McCaughan for proposing tovote with tne Opposition. No reconstruc-tion of the Ministry could take place, as onesolid section of the House was prepared to�tiudbythe Premier. The Opposition didnot plertge themselves to pass the Liberalbills of the Miaistry,and would not passauy such measures. At the conclusion Mr.Speight was loudly cheered.

Colonel Trimble, anither new member,followed. Colonel Trimble is an old gentle-man, wiio succeeded Mr. Carrington forTaranaki. He spoke well aud quietly.

11 p.m.Colonel Trimble resumed, after the ad-

journment, t~> a thin House. The matter ofhis spiech was Rood, but the manner wasdreary. It would almost seem as if theHouse wasalrea'ly tired of the want-of-con-rjdence debating. ColonelTrimble said hawas in favour, not only of manhoo.l suffrage,but womanhood suffrage. This statementwas heartily cheered. Mr. Moss followed,and referred to the excellent tone iu whichthe debate had hitherto been conducted.He made a fairly good speech, though ho ac-kiiow lodgedthat he, as well as other old mem-bers, we-o somewhat stale on this subject.He poiuted out that, although the Opposi-tion now profeesed themselvo3 t:> be infavour of Liberal measures, and of improve,ment in tho iuciienco of taxation, fieyh-.d never done anything in that w»ytill Sir George Giey entered pnblic lifo andgot into power.

THE APPLE TRADE.

A considerable quantity of truit has beenimported into this market during the lastfew days, from California and Hobart Town,and as both -; '9 now fairly in the hands of thetrade, we lt>\e been at Bome trouble to elicitan i-xpression of opinion on the relativemerits of the two shipiu-nts. With regardto the importation from Hobart Town greatdissatisfaction has been expr.si'-'tl. Similarcomplaint hive be.*n omuion for a lougtime past, ou account of the inferior qualityof fruit that ik. being sent from Tasmania,and buyers candidly admit that the rffuse isnow being thippedhHre, and that the Sydneyan:l Melbourne markets aro supplied withthe choicest. Up to a recent date it was amatter of llobson'a choice, and we werocompelled to take what we could get. Butnow a change has come over thescene, and a formidable rival has enteredthe rielcL- ...This ..rival iii California. Themail steamer brought over 600 casts, and thepacking of this fruit is simply perfectionwhen placed alongside that of HobartTown. Each caao is a neatly got up box,machine planed, and every applo is wrapped 'in tbiu tissue paper, and not a mark or fliw isto be Been on the fruit. Those from Ho'nrtTown are packed in rough and chafedby friction, &c., aud when the case is opened :many have black scars, caused by being in 'coutact with the lathed case they aro for- jwarded in. Ttie truth of this state.neut caneasily be confirmed by steppiug intj the first 'fruiterer's vhop, aud purchasers may therejudge for thsrnst;lve3. With regard to the 'quality of fruit, out of eight houses wevisited yesterday each stated that the lastshipment of Ciliforniau apples wan farsuperior to any ever received from HobartTown. Tiie next shipment will be still 'better, as the fruit wil couie from the mo-t ]northern parts of California, where a little !frost is experienced during the winter 'months. The wholesale prico of Californian !apples is from 3J-1 to 41, which is very little 'more than that paid for Hobart Town, and 'we should not be surprised to see theHobart Town shippers completely beatenout of this market unless a very superiorclass of frtiit is seat as. Qo'-iart Town 'apples a.e reputed to keep longer tban the 'American. Tiiisremains to be proved ; butfor flavour, either iu dessert or cooking, theAmericau apples are by far the best, whilothe purity of colour, .tc, is beyond com- ,parUou superior to the Hobart Town. In •the course of a year or two a very large 'supply of aupled will be available from our 'own orchard'. Iu formeryears, the nur-ery-men issued a large number of worthless fruittrees, but of late years a numb ;r of valuablefruit trees of various kinds have been iutro-dujj.l, and widely distributed.

HOW THE ZULU KING WASCAPTURED.

� . -

By the s.e. Rotorua we have Cape news tothe 2nd ult , received by the Ki.tomahana,which called in at the Cape. The followingare the particulars of the opture of thaZulu K.ing, on the 29th August, iu the heartof the Ng >me Foreet. After his crushingdefeat at Ulundi, Cetewayo retreated withhis followers to the north of the Black Uin-volosi lUver. He was accompanied by thoChiefs Alsirago, Manyanya, audand, though mmyof the tribes abandonedhi'o, he was still attended by severd thou-sand men, who, it was reported, intendedto right to tbo last. The pursuit was, how-ever, kept upwith unremitting energy ; andon August 13 a strong eavalry p.itrol, undeithe commandof Major Bairow aud Lord Gif-ford left Ulundi with three days' proviVon.?,to capture Cetewayo, who, it was stated, had

■ only 60 followers with him, so completely hadhis'defeatatUliindi and the constant pursuitdisheartened his adherents. Another rxpedt-tion at the same time succeeded in capturing

Primi Minister, Umuyamare,also Ishingwayo, UmgadshUne, andTwkane,brothers of thi King, with other leadingchi.fs. On the 12th August tho King'smagazine, about tan miles from Ulundi, wasdiscovered, and the powder it containedblown up. Major Barrow's patrol was forsome days closeon Cetewayo's irack, but theKing succeeded in esctping to InkanhlaForest, though his servants and horses werecaptured. A reward was offered for his ap-prehension, aud the natives were informedthat any kraal which was known to havesheltered him woull be burnt. At lengthintelligence was received that Cetewayo haddoubled back, and was biding near theBlack Umvolosi, a few miles! from Uluudi.Major Marter and Lord Gifford, with adetachment of dragoons, started in pursuiton August 23. Lord Gifford, by means ofthreatH, elicited from the natives the situa-of a kraal, where it was reported the Kingwas being supplied with provisions, and bynarrowly watching this retreat for somodays thecapture which will brinst the warto a close was effected. Lord Gifford, ftappears, intended to make an effort to seizeCetewayo at nightfall on the 28th August,but ha was deprived of this gratification byhis colleague, Major Marter, who surroundedthe krall from an opposite direction, andobtained the surrender of the King withoutresistance. It is said that when first die-covered Cetewayo was unable to ride orwalk, whether from hie excessive corpulenceor from weakness, the result of the hardshipihe had undergone, is not stated. TheKing arrived at the camp at Ulundi, in acart, on Sunday, within one day of the sixthanniversary of his coronation, and at thesame place. During the march soma of hisfollowers attempted to escape, six succeeded,but five perished in the attempt.

The Premier 3>'d the G-ivernmont did :not inteud to introduce a bill to amend tha iexisting Licensing Acts, so as to equalise, jthe licencing fees throughout the colony, as ,these f<re3 were the revenue of local b.idies. i

NO CONFIDENCE DEBATE.Mr. Speight resumed the debate on tha

want-of-con6denco amendment. He badwatched th« proceedings in connection witha similar que-tion last election, and congra-tulated the House on the improved tone ofthe debate. He was disappointed with thespeech made by the leader of the Opposi-tion. He believed he could frame a betterbill of indictment against the Governmenteven than he did, . Hβ did not thinkit would justify the amendment proposed.Nothing was easier than to pile upcharges ofthis kind. The grounds taken were asser-tions on thepart of the leader of the Oppo-sition. The reason for the course takenought to have been shewn—a reason satis-factory to the country, and one which wouldbring conviction to the electors as a body atlarge. He therefore hoped young memberswould not be caught in thewebs of sophistryproposed to be wouud round them.He thought the Premier had com-pletely exonerated himself in regardto the charges made about the FinancialStatement of the last session. The nextcomplaint was that thepromisedreforme hadnotbeen carried out. The abolition of theprovinces had caused a great deal of extrawork to the central Legislature, and in con-sequence it was difficult to give effectto as much as might have been de-sirable. The ; abolition of athe provincenhad been a fruitful source of expenditureand to that crubo he adjudged the extra ex-penditure for which the Govenrment hadbeen blamed. He thought all Mr. Shcehan'snegotiations with the natives were fair. Itwas a well-known fact that it was tboee whofollowed nil traoU, need their best en-

doavours to render his nego ,iitinna futile,ami bo long a* that was the case, greattrouble and difficulty must, of necessity, be•-xperienced. The course pursued in regard tothn. Thames outrage was, in hU opinion, therij»ht one. To hive apprehen led the twooffenders would have co3t the lives of at least13 or 14 Europeans. Ke;»arding the Govern-ment advertisements, he thought it was apoor compliment to the co'onial Press to say,iir even insinuate, that a paltry advertise-ment would be deemed sufficient to affectth« tone of tlie IVess. Road boards andmunicipalities gave a great deal more to theVruss in the way of adverting than theGovernment H'J would suggest that nopaper be paid for inserting the Govern-ment advertisement'. Iu that the publicwould learn to patrouis* only those paperswho saw it to th-ir interest to insert thea lvitiaements. Hβ kuew from bii ownknowledge that it was an act of the Go-vernment to adjust charitable aids ques-tions on a mist equitable basis. The fact iwa°, that the Opposition desire! nothing -more than to take possesjtou of thesebenches. There were Ministers on thesebanchrs who would be acceptable to theOpposition, but he hoped the Miuistry <as a whole would give it to ba under- :stood that they had no' intention what-ever of deserting ea-b. other. The Oppo-sition did not say that they wereprej'a:e 1 to pa?s the measures put forwardbythe Governor nt. All they to badesirous of doing was to givd <-ffect to thaJ>ibe-al nuasurf* desired by the country.Now Vhat meant that they were, to be expo-nents of what measur-'S the country want,and these would be the m asures they wereprepared to p.iS3. He apprehended thatwhen these nv asures w< ,re passi d anotherdissolution would take place. Tiie countryw.is honestly anxious that the Governmentas constituted should havo the opportunityof carrying nut the measures put forward.

Colon'l Trimble alluded to the questionof a subsidy, and said that the complaintsnil otrer the colony hii been that thesesubsidies were not paid' under thi oldrule. Subsidies, when due, were vent to the .

body, but under the new rule they had tosend for them. No notice of th;it new rulehad been given, hence the dim ulty. He-disputed the statement that the Oppo-sition desired to establi-h an aristocracy.Such a tauutdid not app'.y to him, aud be be-lieved did not apply to any miterial section oftliatsideof the House, aud ino;o thin that,he would maintain that in these colonies itwas impossible to establish an aristocracy.An aristocracy was establish.d by right ofconquest, but that principle could not possi-bly be made to apply to a colony like this.There were two points on which he differedwish the Gov.rntaent, and upon which hajustified the vote that he intended giving.Tlie first was immigration, the nominatedfystem wa3 tha one which wai most advan-tageous to th) colony, /ind yet one of thevery first conditions imposed by th*tsystem was th it a sum of £5 be paid. Thouagain, the head of the Government had toldthem last session that thoy iut nded to puta slop altogether to imm'graton, aud so faras he kuew it had been pat a atop to.A proper hystera of immigration tendedto in rease ratrur than dimmish the wagesof the working daises. Altogether beiraigined that the immigration schemesof the colony hbd been mismanaged,ami such bei >g til > case he could have noconfidence tbat they would nut mismanagesuch an import tnt part of the pubic policyagain. The Premier, as shewn by recentevents which occurred at Christchurch hasshewn that he was altogether ignorant andin different as to the question of protectionand free trade. Anyone so igimraut andindifferent could not cotißcieutioJaly eaythat he w?s honestly i'nbued by the Liberalpolicy. The native- affairs, despite all thathad been said to the contrary, were in a mostunsatisfactory sta'.e. That wad not the casewlfu the Government took office.

The debite was interrupted at 5.30 p.m.by the adjournment.

Tiie House resumed at 7.30 p.m.Colonel [rimdle continued the debate.

Hβ said the position of native affairs wasthe direct sequence of the stoppagu of thesutveys. Then putting the lands into themarket at £C was a mistake, inasmuchas th»t it left the impression on the publicmiml that thtri wai danger in occupyingthese lands. They were worth at the least£10. Tiiey afterwards withdrew those laudsfrom sale, whiuh operated adversely uponthe native mind. Tne proceed ng was suchthat they saw the Government liad no mindor thought in th-matter, or either that theycould nt trust themselves to carry out theirown inteutiom. Then when hostilities brokeout the Government waited before takingany action thereon, until thi-y saw whatthe setters themselves would do. Whenhe (Go'onel Trimble) remonstrated with theGovernment the reply he got was, thathe (the Premier) did not see the dangerhe appeared to fee. It was Dot untilthe papers took the initiative that theGovernment took action in the matter. Inthat respect, theGovernment neglected theprotection of the country. So far as hecould muke out, the Government bad! nopolicy for the future. In regard to native imatte-s, the residents themselves had apolicy : it whs to make loads, to settle thedistrict. He condemned the proposal toform military eet'.lemeuts, stating that hehad never kuown such settlements to suc-ceed. He beiieved that each member of theGovernment wai doing hin duty accordingto his lights, but then these lights werenothing better than darkness. Referring tothe question of manhood suffrage, hesaid that what was required was anhonest Electoral Bill, and not contradictorymeasures such a3 they had to deal with. Inhis own district there no fewer thanGOO freeholders who were uol; on the roll.That was on account of the contradictorycharacter of the measures at present inforce. He objected to Maoris being placedin a position to swamp the European vote.He was favourably disposed to a redistribu-tion of seats, nnd counselled them, in fixingthe boundaries of the district!), to fix: uponnatural boundaries irrespective of everyothiir consideration. Ho was likewisein favour if triennial Parliaments, andeveryone on his side of the Househad expressed a eimilar opinion. Hodid not beliive the Liberal party, socalled, in New Zealand, was as honest in itsprofession. If they ha.l been honest, howwas it tbat no attempt had ever been madeto repeal the lav? of entail, whiuh was still inoperation in this colony ? Then again, therewas the practice of laying hold of a workingman to cajole and flatter him in a most un-just mauner. That was Liberalism. That wasmere mountsbankism. It wasan attempt toset up artificial barriers in the absence ofnatural barriers. :

Mr. Moss said as regards the com-plaints which had been made by theprevious speaker about tho upset priceof the Waimate lands at being fixed £3,he was permitted to say, that the landwould be put up to auction, and in thatway was bound to reach the matket valueindependently altogether of the upset price.This was the first time he had been madeaware the law of entail applied to New Zea-laud. He reminded them, however, thatthe Government had been instrumental ingetting a measure passed for the placing oftho preaent real property on the same foot-ing as personal property. They did notenvy any man possession of his largeestate, nor did they wish by unfair meauscurtail these estates. What he desiredwasto prevent the ownere of these estates get-ting more than a lair voioo in the Legisla-

ture. The aggrrg*te holdings of NewZealand shewed that a few iodividmlsheld as much aa two and a-half millions of

and the result would be in 100 yeir*hence, that i£ these individuals had tonmuch to say in the Ln gislature, all the evilsof the property system of the old countrywould be established in this colony. Refer-ring to the native question, the speakereiid that the House had demandedthat these affairs should be treated in apacific manner. It was argued that thesemeasures were absolutely . necessary forthe success of the loin scheme. Now, whatdid they hear ? They heard tie Govern-ment blamed because it had not ru;hei theco'ouy into a war wiih the natives. He didnot feel disposed to eay much, as he hadduring the previous seseion gone over theground, and wa3 in danger of repeating whathe had already s«d. He contended thatthis was tho only Government that had everah"wn any disposition to alvanca liberalscheme?. Charges had been ma Ie of unfairdealing towards the civil service, but thefacts were that the previous Governmentshad latterly filled every offije wiihmea imported from Englani, to thodetriment oE mea eqmlly well quali-fied to discharge the dutiei of thoseoffices who resided in the colony. He wouldnot defend the affairr of tho telegram sentto Mr. Inglia, but still would maintain tbatit was trifling. At the same time, onesolitary instance should not break up theLiberal party on these benches. It ■wouldbe a very difficult mutter indeed to rally itagain, and tho charges put forward were fartoo trifling to g ant such an exp.-rimentbaing made.

Mr. GisBORNE contended that, if thecharges levelled against the Government inthe last waut-of-confidenc!) motion had beensustained by the verdict of the electors,the majority would have been a ereatdeal more than the fourteen secured onthat occasion. Now the fact was that th*most the Opposition now claimed wa3a ma-jority of four. That, to his mind, wascon-clusive evidence that the c mntry, when ap-pealed to, did not consider the Governmentguilty of the charges made against them.Tho position of the Opposition was this :

"They said we will take ;our place, andpas 3 your policy." It was a proposal unpre-cedented in the history of Parliamentary pro-ceedings. They had no guarantee that tf'i*Opposition, if it came into power wouldgive effect to the Liberal policy which theyprofessed to esp.u-se. It was a well knownfact that the system of private nfgitiitionswould go on ns had been the case in che p isfc.Hβ would warn the members tobe ca-eful be-fore takia g tho false st- p they were ask-d totake. He cautioued them againet sacrificingLiberal measures to any personal prejudicethey might entertain.

REMUERA SOCIAL UNION.

The performance of the late John Oxenford'a" Porter's Knot," by the member* of thissociety, drew last niyht a'very numerousand fashionable assembly to the ReraiieraHall. The admission was by invitation, sothat the entertaiument was not public in theordinary sense. But the interest in theocjasiou extended beyond the locality, andwas greater than could be accounted foreither by the social position of the psr-formers or tne merit of the piece, fs'otwith-Btmding that the night was very inclement,the surrounding suburbs Epsora, MountEden, aud Parnell were contributorsto the auditory. The R-mu-rn Hall standsou tli? site form rly occupied by the Rev.M>. Mindeuo's church, it is tastefullyfitted up wi:h stage and scenery, andanswers admirably t!ie purpose ofa suburbanassembly room. It is a very comfortab'eplace for social gatherings. The "Porter'sKnot" is one of those pretty domesticsketches that distinguished Kobson's manage-ment at the Olympic, which was inhis time the "B.jou Theatre" of London.During the run of success which attendedits first pro luctiou, Mr. who waabetter known as the dramatic critic of theTimes, was recogDiaed as having opened anew lield of dramatic art, and he may betaken to have founded a new "d«mebdo"schtol, in which Mr. Bryon, Mr. Robertson,Mr. Hallulay, and Mr. Gilbert have persist-ently worked ever since, but, it must be said,with greater pretension, and with a more dar-ing introduction of improbable incident andd ith of tone. There is no character in the"Porter's hnot" which a lady or gentle-man of ordiuary cuituro aud self-posses-eioa might not interpret with good effect.There ii no deep shading, no staitling reve--1 tions, no high-wrought misery such as M',Sterling Coyne, who was the chief of theoldor domestic school, used to elaborate.The simplicity of the story exalts it abovefamiliarity, although what incident there isappears constantly in common life. Au old" porter" has saved a competence by in-dustry. He has sent his son to the TendonMedical School. The young gentlemanlives fast ; is in the hands of the money-lenders, and he has just got his diploma,

i when a demand is made upon his old fatherfor payment of his debts. This leadsup to a domestic scene, which is apicture as toa.hing as any ever ' pnton canvas. There is an old sea captain,wlo is solicited, and cousents to take theyouth to tea On the voyage home the shipis wrecked, the young man succeeds in savingher, and is rewarded by the owners by beingmade a partner in their firm, which occupiesthe highest commercial rank. What is re-quired to give impersonation to thii stiry, isa true appreciation of the emotous suitableto such incident", repose of manner—andthese being present, the natural interpreta-tion of the language may be expectedto fallow. Tbo old "potter" has againto take to his "knot and truck," andit is while eating hard-earned dinner,his wife sitting beside him, that he becomesalmost philosophic, and upon this mood ispoured tne intelligence of his boy's heroismand goo 1 fortune. There is a pretty cousinAlics who is constant to the youth ; there isa repentant fast youth named Stephen Scat-ter ; there a few eailora of the goodold type,and the group is complete. These wereamateur as well as private theatricals, andtherefore may claim exemption from pro-fessional criticism. The question for con-sideration, is not whether the performershave attained any professional standard ofmerit, but whether they have rendered thework of the playwright in such a manner asto do their author and themselves no dis-credit ? ' Wβ think they succeeded in bring-ing out the full meaning expressed in thewords and implied by the situations. Weare precluded by the fear of hurting socialsusceptibilities from detailing the points ofthe characters that were most effective.Thegentleman who playedSampson Burrandthe lady who played Mrs.Burr were especiallysuccessful. Captain Oakum was recognisedinstantly, and the recognition was accom-panied with applause. The young lady whoplayed Alice was graceful, pretty, andnatural. The gentleman who was StephenScatter played particularly welL We can-not pay a very high compliment to thegentlemen who played Augustus Burr andbmirke, yet; there was, nothing in these im-personations that deserved censure. Takingthe performance as a whole, it gave greatsatisfaction, and at the close, as well as atintervals, the performers were deservedlyapplauded. "God Save the Queen" waseuog by the company and audience standing,and the entertainment of the evening ter-minated.

SYDNEY EXHIBITION.THE NEW ZEALAND COURT.

[FltOM OUR OWN COKKKSPONDKKT.]Sydney, September 24.

Thus f*r, in pni-.t of af-en lar.cf, the Ex-hibition has been u deplorable failur . Thelocal journals try to b'.ink this tiuth andvie in awkward felicitations upon suchHfnn as ha-e be-n separately successful.But the factii as I iiave s.iid. The openingwas absurdly premature ; the country peo-ple warned by friends in the capital, and byths Sydney correspondents of privincialjournal?, stayed at horn", deferring theirvisit till tho aff.iir ehon'd l>9 ready. Forthe last week the Sydney papers have ceasedto record tho attendance. It won't hearpublication. The admission has since thoopening b en ha!f-a-crown. Next Saturdayis to be the first shilling-day, and GiorzVscantata is to be re-performed, so thata crowdmay be uxpectrd on that afternoon. But itisF.eriomly st.V.e I tlmt the work'ng clasEesin general reso.it the exclnsiveisra of theopening cereni'i-.y. and of the prices uptothe present, and have deterni ned to ignorethe Exhibition as much as possible. •Still itwill ba a fine show about a month henceand I douDt wh th r rainy will be able tokeep away altog-ther. But utdoubte lly theeclat of an enthusiastic popular commence-ment has been lost.

I give ns full and detailed n description ofthe iN'eiv Zealand Court as is possible unde.-present circumstances :—

THE GOLD OBELISK.O>e very simple direction—to look for the

lag-ttgold obelisk in the building—wouldeufiu'e to n»irte a vis tor to the New Ztalsudcollet. The übeli>k in question stands in thoeis-rerii arm of the tr.iusept, lacing diagonally.It is exceedingly prownmnr, but scarcelyattractive. Th* tup appears incomplete,li:>ii-hing flat instea't of pexked, amlanat-tcmiit at novi-Uy of effect, which, if it hadsuco;-. ded, wuuld have be n a decided a i-vnnt>ge, lias no; felicitously. Alltlio ulber gold trophies (obelUks) haveairouth sutfacep, faced with gold-leaf, thesquares of which shew to a Ct-rtuiu exteut.Tiie New Ze la;:d Commissioner has apparuntly aimed, nt originality, and his ide.%has beeu a verv fi-- od one theoretically. Itw&s to abolish the smooth f >ces, and im-part to the otie'.i k the appearance of beiugbuilt >:p wuhba s of gold, disposed horizon-tally. To eQe t this the iram-of the trophyhaa been cnvere I with uuplaned battens,and, either because ou tha rough purface ofth-se gold-le.f would not lie, or wittt theot jee" of esc.iping the chequered appcaraujeof ot! er übelisks gilded with tlioKaf, paint-ing with g Id-powdir or l)u:ch-uit:tal hasb en re-orted to. Unluckly the disguisedbnttens sti:l look quite as like battens aa

gold bar.-, anil, at a di-tauce, the Dutch-metal does not she*- will. Tbe obelisklioka dark, fB compared with others, andthrows off prisuatic r. flections, in whichpurple pret:omitia'es. howtv: r, t'-e aosirmay be regarded as incomplete, and doubtless suoh defects and shortcomings wi;l beremedied when the Commissioner gets timeto turn himself round—at present he con-tit-ues a hu."y aud badgered man The NewSouth Wa'ea Commissioners only a lottedhim the gallery spice for New Zealand onthe Satur.t»y preceding the opening, andever since tin re baa be n little leisure forsolid work. The opening day, of course,compelled entire suspension of work, and

thru there have been dinners, andballs, and picnics given by the Governor nndother-, r-i.r-.i whii-u Commissioners coald notabsent th°u!S''lv(!B without risk of creatingmisconceptions.

WOODWORK AND TIMBER.As neither tha calorics nor the cr.se-

mc-t.t ari yet in—even afiproximat-ly—

ord.-r, this insthlmeus of dercri('tion mustbe confined to tna display iu the couttupon th< intin fbor. Tne space alluted hereto >'e\v Z;-aiaiid touiprises e'eveu bays, eachof 25 feet square.

Burt, of Duusdiu; then acorridor or pisaaie op-ns from the transeptat rght angles, Inliuus through the fulldepth of thi court into the United i-titessection, and between that aad the fiialpartition i 3 placed a beauri'ul model of thonew fteame'r.ip l!otou:ahar.a, belonging toNew Zealand, and ugainst the parti ion theMoigiel Miilh woollen goadj are disposed oua Laudfomely ii-laid counter, made ofir.urjesjus woods; while all along thefranc and doivn the pirt of the corridornearest tbe transept space h3S been found togive prominence to the exhii its of wood-work. Scarcely one of these is unworthy ofseparate and particular mtntion. At anyrate, thetvs is tcarc=lyouo which has notcome in for close and admiiing notice. Com-mencing with liuthrie and Larnach's collectiou, disposed in, as it were, a little court ofits own, the first thing which faces theentering visitor is a massive hall door anddoor-frame, 10 feet by 7, Very ban 'seme in-detd. The pillars and styles of this are ofrimu, the panels of ribbon wo;d, and th jmouldings of riwariwa, with other timberswrought in, giving very nicecontracts, with,however, a general lightness of colouring.In front of this doorway is laid down aflooring of marquetry, into the design ofwhich the aatne wuods enter. For lack ofexplanatory labelling, or a catalogue, peoplepass over this «ithout giving it the attentionit deserves, and will, no doubt, obtain, whenthii gs get a little more ship-shspe. Thepstt.rn is graC'.ful, aud the different-huedwou\ls well contrasted in it. The thicknessis Obly something leas than a quarter of auiuch, and as tho wood-work 13 made- inlong'tudinal sectionshick d with canvas, thewhole affair can be taken np and shifted toacother rcoci, fo tniug a roll somewhat inthe fashion that oil-cloth does. At 12s perequate yard, which is said to be tho sellingprice, an everlasting flooring of this kind—so hsndsome aud bo hardy—should comeinto demand once it gets better known, asshould follow from this Exhibition. In hotc'imates, e-pecially, it would be immen'e!yliked, waxed on theFrench system. It maybe mentioned that this exhibit does not harethe Garden Pa'ace all to itself. Ia theBritish courb are two similar exhibits laiddown, by Atrowsmitb, one of oak andsimilarly-tinted woods, and. the other ofdarker timbers. The New Zealand flooringis hjndsoraer than the.pak one, but not tohandsome as the other, which ia identicalw th some laid down for the Marquisof .!ily.With these British samples no price iagiven, so that the comparison is incomplete.Standing against the right-hand wall is areally exquisite cabinet—exquisite equallyin form snd in the combination of woodsemployed in its construction. There are inthe various European courts, and in theNew South Wales coutt, monyyery admir-able cabinets in the classical forma nowbecoming adopted, but there are not anyjriiich excel thie one in happiness of design.

and I lliiuk rot one which equ.iU it 'n tar.contrast of wo.mls. Thore 13 a great d-al ofinlaying in the structure of this cabinetFrom a hand-bill issued by the maker-, IIr.irn th»t it coatis'-e of s:iß pieces ofZealand wools. Ire top iis el.'tptic, α-d huin iti centre an enlarged copy of the old pro-vincial *e*l of Otigo, nnl in the sudrsc.vved fiins copiod from n»ture. over theprincipal mirror, which occupies the b-.ek ofthe cabinet, are eix panels of totara knot,tuoki, pukaki, and fiijwoad, studded withmoki buttons, ar.d tho fra:n* of the mirror isinlaid with pepppnvijod and goai. 1 hero isanotbor mirror in the centre, supported bycarved bracket--, a'ld under this come 3 aeerie 3 oi archer, up-borne by turnedpilasters. Then comes a s'nelf of rmu,end. under it Again four mirrors.The whole cabinet is liberally orna-mented, and altogether a credit and anembellishment to the court. Another cabi-net, faithfully copied from some Japanesemodel. A3 I readiy recognised by paying avisit to tbo Japanese court, near at hand,where the earn-; cuiioas system of stairs ofsh'lvei may be seen, stands near, and isebouia-d and gilt very creditaMy. althoughtht-re are enamelled tables iu the Italiancourt which considerably surpass it in themattor of smooth and blackness of sur-face. A drawing - mom eui e, similarlyeboniacd on birch, ia chiefly remarkable forthe richness of the ii|ih«!i<t?-rinus of crimsonand gold hrocatalle. On tha opposite side ofthe doorway a haidsome woden bedstead ofrimu and uiot.led k.u:i, witli totnra mould-ink's, with wardnbe, couch, toilet tables, andsundries to match, and upholstertd inPimcean ei'k d:«m»3k, nod an in'aid chest r.fdrawers, are i>f first rate merit, and coull beviewed with p-rfect pleasure and apprecia-tion were they pinc-d alongside the beetexhibita of the s-.mekind in auy other curtin the buildi ig.

Messrs. Stew»rtand Co. also shew a door, les3 elaborate, anda mantel-piece, both gooH, substantial piece?of workt>an-hip. Nicholson, of Wellington,has an ex'remely ban Isome >ileboard, consttuot-d of various d-scriptiona of kauri?,totara. and pine, with mirr>rs let in, whichis we! l placed and yreitly admired ; and Ifind in my notts a remark winch icads me tobelieve t >»t it is the .vork of apprentice.*.The iuliid tables are quitua f< ature, as much"11 ac:ouut of thu di>lieat- workmanship andtasteful psttdius as of the b?auty of thvwoods. /Imonj tlies; a large taWe top byMr. E'ctherio, an ninitmrof Wellington, in

r<-markahlo for the manner iu wh:ch naturalknots and eccentricities in the wood havebeen availed of, the out- r circle of the tablepre-enting a number of ptctmesof buildings,Sic, done in the wood by ii.l tying, nnd alirace of dog's heads, which look as thoughthey «er<? pointed, prove, on inspection, tobe merely knots in the wood. G. Fleminghas two exquisite little round tibles, one i>?which has 1500 pieces of wood in its compo-sition, and U remarkable for elegance nfthe inlaid design ; while the other—a che?stable-—consists of no l.'gn than 5000 pieces,the chess-squares being minute'ysub di> id- d,to that raub square is it e.if a miniaturechessboard. Cail Petsrs, of Wellington, hasa larte and very beautiful octagon 100 tabl-;;and Cunningham and Co., of (Jhr'stchurch,send an extremely handsome inlaid case.Halley and Ewing have someart ;cl- s wroughtin riinn, a timber which d- es not strike aspeculiarly attractive in appearance

Other anie'es alto of high excellence aredisced near those above mentioned, but intheabsence of catalogues, which are de'ayedat the Government -Piiutui" i. :iiic-i here, Ibelieve, and if labels I have been unable toascertain to whom the credit of their construction is attributable. Aud Ise.-o it willb- convenient to remark, tha' t'ie court a-i awhole has a handamne and intert.itin;; ap-peirance, and no casual visitor is lik<ly t<imagine that it i 3 oth-r than quite eo,inlet-an 1 ready for inspection. But anyone who,like mya If, mak'-s it bis buaiucss to investi-gate in de'.ail ai:d note down fiuts and im-pressions, rapidly discover* that the arrange-ment is only partial and temporary. Mu hremains to be done, and is daily be : iiL'effected. There being no catalogues and agreat variety of exhibits being unKbslle i, i - .i< a task of formidable difficulty t<> attemptti identify partieulir articles aud the exhi-bits of different individuals, or even in some,instances, as iu the case of different timbers,to know what one i* actually loi king at. I(jr..pose to supplement thisnotice with a sub-sequent one when the gallery department andba-ement space shall !>e fitted up, »ud thouldI now omit mention of any noteworthy < x-hibts in the ma'n courf, I shall then reviewthat department and fill in auy such omis-sions.

In the way of there are fewarfcles in the whole Exhibition likely todraw more admirers, among Sydney folks atany rate, than the b-autiful racing outriggerby H T. Green, of D-inedin, wh ch is capi-tally placed breast-high, parallel with thecorridor before mentioned, and shews up togroat advantage. It is fitted with thea'idinsseat and several rowlocks, and could ecsrcelvhave been shewn in any city in the worldwhere is would be more keenly appreciatedthan in Sydney, with its scqu»tic-lovingcitizens.

Ihe trophy off timber is scarciyeff•ctiv.-as an ornament to ibo co irt. It i? gnm'ypractical, wi'h the exception of somo slicesof mottKxl ksuri s;nt by Norrie of Auck-land, which are polished to show the beautyof the grain, and from one of which veneershave be»n slice 1 and are also exhibited,shewing the adaptability of the timber furthe multiplier:ion of specially beautitulpieccaby this process With r»girl to the re-mainder of the trophy it consists chitfly ofexhibits eelectei apparently with a view todimension rather than beauty. Thtreis apartially squared section cut aerobe thegrain of a large pine, and big piMiks ofrenin, besides a ruoneter plank r-r slab ofsome other soft wood. These thiugi are notin themaelve3 effective. In the rough andunpolished, the big slab or plauk 1' oks littledifferent from those whith Me need as gang-ways for the discharge '>T the cargoes ofvessels at the wharves. New Z-;idard is,doubtless, the natural chief habitation ofthe kauri pine in all its varieties, yetany stranger visitiug both theJfew Zealandand the Queensland courts would probablycarry away tho impresti n tliafc Queenslandis the great place for kauri, because thereii in the cjurt citi the latter colony a muchmore telling »,nd eye-catching exhibit of aeection cut across the grain from a kanripine. This section is nnt quite eo large asthe one in the New Zealand court, but itbos not been trimmed down like that one.The circular form has been preservedandsimply banded round with a heavy hoopingof iron. And while the New Zealand oneis rough from the eaw, the Queenslandsimple, which comes from the scrubs 100miles north of Brisbane, has been planed,smoothed, sandpapered, and finally French-polished, so that it looks likp a great harvest-moon, and compels everybody to go np andetare at it.

To tell the plain truth, it is rather roughupon your colony to have the court nexta i joining that of Queensland, which is byuniversal acclaim tha b?st arranged »ndmoatattractively fitted np in the whole Ex-hibition, and besides the only one whichwaa thoroughly ready, and in apple-pieorder on the opening day. Her display oftimber ia so magnificent and so splendidlygot np and arranged in trophies that notone of the other colonies has a show beside

her ; aud, although iSuw Zealand ranks'«c >nd in thit rejpect, it would bo a dis-mally bad second where it not for her• obinetmiker.-", who succeeded—work-iuj with a fir less extei sivo and brilliantchoi :e of wocxis —fairly ia beating their Imore favoured brethren in Quesntlan 1. Aβa matter ot fas', the New Zealand courtwould seein to show that you have murecabinetmakers thin Q-ietnsland owns, ar.dthst they h%vo bRt;-»r tjste thnn tlieir Aus-tralian rivals. I hive, meufrontd the ex-quisite inlaid tab'ej, largo and stnill, andthe cabinets, &c, ia tiio New Ztalindcourt.

Buttiieu the ivew Zealand display wins de-cidedlv, owing to superiority in design an Imoro delicate taste iu arrangement of thapatterns and 'l'here is onetxception. Gutbrie anl Larnach'a doorsnd door-way are the fiue-it in theNew ZsaUnd court in the matter ofdoors. Tney occapy an imposing posi-tion, aud are elaborately wrought wishpauels, and pillars and moulding of diverswoods. Yet when all is done, therein a rich-ness of •ffecSMbout another dooranddoor- framejammed up out of the way under the stairsl.adiug to the gallery, and scarcely in thecourt at all, which C'ltat-s fmui & Queenslandtienber-vard, aud is of ceder oniy, wh cam«kea the other lo k Jers attractive.

BOOTS AND SHOES.The same tiling applies to hosts. The

Every lot se< ms eminently first-rate,aud the only differencedistinguisliableseemsto he that tbe higher thu civili~ation of thocountry whence the boots came the more dothey evince a disposition—in the femininedepartment at any rate—to broik ous intoembrn dery aud apunglee, and to developabsur-Uy high heels and general waut ofsense. Judged by this criterion, aad vrithth« aid of a case of boots by NewZealand appears to d by a com-paratively birbarous community, for Sar-gooJ's (Dun.diu) boots are expressive mainlyof a substantial soit of plain, tensihleutility, not, however, devoid of refinement.The boot uppers from Kiiu',slaud aud om-pany, of Invorcargiil, are also ou view, andhighly creditable; and Lightbanl, Allen andCo., of Ciiristcuurch, shew a capitil lot ofboots and shoes.

PAPER EXHIBITS.A quantity of exo-l!ent brown and C'ey

papers, m»nufactured from na ive Newlaud grasses, arc disposed on one of thostands in the m-ddle of the court. Thenr'icles seem vtry superior to much that isimported from Kurnpe, and which containsthe minimum of fibrous material and themaximum of "drersiog" with clays andsilicioUT mattery, eo that they not only tearbat almost break. The Xew Zealand pspersare tough, and t?ar with a ragged, fibrou3edge. In this brauch of industry the Inver-

the Macaura, and tho Com-panies' mills are all represented, aa well asMr. E. McGlashan, of Dunedin.

METAL MANUFACTURES.Messrs. Burt and (_)-■. a metal manufactures

from Duuedin are prominently placed, andattract much attention. Victoria is the onlyother colony which ehews any similar floods,and in the comparison the Now Zealandmakers do not suffer. The brass-work, ofwhich there are two glazed cs3es—one otplumbers', and the other of engineer*, fit-tings—is a capital show, highly Uniahed, andcomprising a great variety of articles. Arefrigerator for brewers' use, with its flat-tened copper tubes or worm, a corking andbottling-machine, some bronzed gaealiers, aforce and lift pump, and very capitally dis-played samples of lead piping, from email tovery large diameters, are in the collection.The beer refrigerator above mentioned will,I learn, cool 20 barrels of beer per hour,which only stands 3 feet high, while theordinary round-tube refrigerator, to cool thelame qnautity, would require to be 6 feethigh. The peculiar shape of these tubeshave two advantages over the round tube,viz.: they retain the beer a muoh longer

time to be acted upon by tho couliugliquid wi-.hin; and they afford nearlydouble the cooling surface ou tbe cameamount of water way, aud thereby »*votime, water, and height in the building.Fin»lly, they can be made any t\z', tocool from 5 tarrela to 60 b»rrele per hour.

COMPARATIVE STATISTICS.Talking of Dr. Uector, the hand-book of

New Zeaiand which ho has prepared for theExhibition, is a capital compilation of sta-tistical and scientific information. Afeaturein it which i-? new to me, and especiallyvaluable, is the appendix or statistical dia-grams, which aff-.-rd at a glance, comparativeinformation repeating the condition of allthe Australasian group of colonies and NewZralaad, %vith regard to v.tal sta"iatice,trade, savings, railways, telegraphs, cultiva-tion and gold. I hive looked thr»ugb thesewifi keen interest. S™ Zealand, rightthrough, with one or tivo exceptions, seemsto run curiously le\-el With Qiui-nslanrl, theline? re[jre3 •..ling tho condition of the twocolonies, being g -nerally something like pa-rallel, and detached from those representingthe other colonics.

HOA, MATTERS STAND.In bringing this preliminary description

to a close, a few words of explanation as tohow matters stand may be Interesting.The Maori ouriosit.ioe, &c, are not displayedat all yet.

AUCKLAND PRESBYTERY.

Ths bi-monthly meeting of tha AucklandPresbytery was held yesterday at St.Andrew's"Church. There were present theKev. R. Somerville (Moderator), the R.-vs.Messrs. MclCinney, Maeky, Neil, Cirrick,Bruee, Mason, Norrie, Fr.iser, Evans,Mooro, Kuucioian, Browu (clerk), and Mr.J. Lamb and other elders. The court wasduly constituted in sederunt by realins aselection of Scripture and !>y prayer. Theminutes of last meeting were read and con-firmed.

Widows' axd Orphans' Fund.—The Rev.Messrs. Mackay, Norrie, Mmro, Somer-ville, Neil, Fraser, »a 1 Carrick, reportedthat collections had been made in theirrespective churches for this fund, and theRev. Messrs. Runcimin and McKinuey re-ported th»t their collections had uot yetbeen made.

The Mamgere Charge : Resignationof the Ret. Mr. Brown.—The Rev. Mr.Runciraau, by letter, aske 1 to hiv<: tieminute of the Pie3byttry p:oluced appoint-ing the Kev. Mr. Br.wu to preac'i at M->n-gere. He explained that the Presbyteryappointed Messrs. Monro, Carrick, and him-self a court of session for the Mangere charge,as he understood, to prepare a roll of com-municants and exercise a general super-vision. He, as Moderator of the session,had applied to Mr. Bro»vn for the minute,but he, for reasons which he no doubt com-eid-jred sufficient, had declined to. furnish itto the session, and to noiv asked thtt itmight be produced to Presbytery.—TheRev. Mr. Brown explain d that he had tn-enapplied to for the minute by Mr. Runeimao,aud he had declined to furnish it for tworeasons. In tha first place, they, as assessors,h»d nothing to do with it. He would cutersomeirhat fully into this matter, because hewished to throw the whole onus on thePresbytery of any trouble that mightarise with -r-gard to Mangere. Twelvemonths ago he had lai 1 his rejiijna-tion of the Mangere charge on thetable, afforiing thu3 full opportunity toany who had objection to raise to do so.But no obj-.-ction* were made. Having laidhis resignation on the table, liisfi a;>p >iat-ment to Mangere cms d, and it was at therequest of a l*rge mijori:y of the congrega-tion of Maugere, expressed by petitioti to thePresbytery, that he was re-appointed, andthat he now preached there. Even the Pres-bytery had no rght t> goback on an appoint-ment that then closed, and therefore he hiddeclined to comply wish the request of thesession to supply the minute of hi 9 originalappointment. He now wish-d to divest him-self of all responsibility and throw the onuson the Presbytery of any d.sturbance whichmight arise at Mangere iu rcgar.l to thessproceedings. Messrs. Carriek and Mvnrdalso spoke oa the subject. The latter saidtha' the whole point of difference betweenthe session and Mr. Brown was with regard totho duties of the sestion. Their wish wasto heal tinbreach which existed at Mangere.—Mr. McKinney moved, "That the requestof the session be compile I with."—Mr.Macky opp ised the motion, as tha time hadgone by tor that, and he could not see how areference to a former appointment couldhelp to heal the breach. — \fr. Monro e«idthesession hal been appointed to ex-rcise ageneral supervision, and it was on that nn-derdt&nding that he joined it. Some «aidthat Mr. Brown's appointment was irre-gular, and itwas for the purpose of shewingthat Mr. Brown was right and those werewrong that theyhid applied for the minute.As far as he could recollect the commissionin February list continued Mr. Brown's pre-vious relationship as regarded Mangere. Hecould not eee any reason for withholdingthe information which these p.-oule re-quired.—Mr. Norrie spoke to the sameeffect, but Mr. Macky considered that Mr.Brown's last appointment was superior tothe first.—Mr. Hruce thought that, ap*rtfrom technicalities, it would be well to givea copy of the minute of appointment to thesession for many re»sons, so that the allega-tions m»de as t> its character might be setat rest. He seconded the mocion of Mr.McKinney, which, after some further dis-cussion, was put to the meeting and carried.—Mr. Brown entered his protest, andbegged emphatically and absolutely to layhis resignation of the charge of Mangereon the t»ble.—Mr. Monro expressed regretat Mr. Brown's decision, and moved, "Thatthe resignation lio on the table till nextmeeting."—The motion was agreed to.—Mr.Brown said the Presbytery must then beprepared to fill the vacancy, for under thecircumstances nothing could indues him tocontinue longer.

JrTJSTBNTATIox FffKD.—The Moderator re-ported that the committee had met duringthe week, and by their instructions he hadsent to the several ministers, asking themto report to-day on tho fund and the stepstaken regarding it, the amount contributed,and the further amount likely to be collectedbefore the end of the year. The treasurerof St. Stephen's, Ponsonby, reported th»tnothing could be done towards the sirpltufund thi3 year. The Rev. Mr. Carriek. St.Andrew'e, reported that £18 12a 6d badbe?a collected. lie did noi think orexpect that the maximum of £100 al-lotted to that chnrch would ba reachedthis yeir. The Rev. Mr. Erans said thisyear the church at Cambridge was makingan effort to ba self-supporting, but therecould be no surplus.—Tho Rev. Mr. Monroreported that St. Luke's had been assessedat £30. That amount wasalreajy collected,but it would not be sent in till the end ofthe year, as they wished to see how othercongregations got on.—The Rev. Mr. Mc-Kinney said that thechurch at Mahuraagi,was this year making an effort to be self-supporting, but there was no probability ofany surplus.—The Rev. Mr. Norrie said thatin his charge they had not yet collected any-thing, but they would make a collection atthe end of thoyear.—The Wev. Mr. Mackyregretted that he had no good report. Thefund was regtrded with anything bat a feel-ing of cordiality. His appeal! had been in-effectual, but it was agreed to make acollection in December. His efforta toget a staff of collectors had failed.—The Rev. Mr. Neilstid he was not quite■ure what the Thames congregation wouldde in the way of contributing. Nothinghad been done in the way of appointing

colfoctors, but they promised to givi a collection for tho surplus fund —Tha Kov. MrBrown said he dul n .t think thero wooid bea surplm in Oueliuiija. i/uB 'hey wouldmake a* colin:ti'>n m.v.italy for thesasteotati-.n Inud.—T:io Moderator said fur-ther the comnv.ttee thought it advi,»blethat there shonUl bs a general debase ofpnlpits on fo-nu Habnath as a meana of n-t-roeting the peoplo ia this (11ad.—Sir.Alaiity EUCgeited that Mcssrd.

This wasagreed to.

CoßoirAN'DEr,: Reskj-jatio:* of the Rev.Mb. Fbaseb.—An extract minnte was for-warded by the Coromandel oongregitinn. in-timating that in view of the existingdepression, and the fact that the oogregt-tion was greatly reduced, they w?ro unableto pay the stipend promised w'uen Mr.Fraaer accepted the call. Mr. Fraserexplained that the depression was verygreat. He was almost lefc high and.dry, with not m-re than about half-a-dozen of a congregation. Thf-re wasno sign of things improving, and a'thoughthe people there wished that he could re-m.tin—so much bo, that not only his owncongregation but tbe Ca'holics had offeredto double their contributions—there wa3nothing for him but to biforo tbe Presby-tery bis resignation of the charge of Coro-mandel. He would not like to remain th°rea burden on the small cong egation. —Mr.Carrick said that he felt reluctantly com-pelled to move, "That owing to '.hr- specialfinancial difficulties of the Ooromanlel con-gregation tho resignation of Mr. Fraserin a3Cepted."—Mr. Maeky seconded thomotiuo, aud it >ns aj;r~e f to.—Mr. Fra°erws.% then appointed t> preach the chargevacaut next .Sabbath, and that the charge bohauded over to the Church iixteuaion Com-mittee respecting further supply.

It had been arrivedat after full consideration, aud nothing whichthey coul 1 do would alter it. It Wiß ab-solutely final.

Thames.—Mr. Neil reported thit theservices of Mr. Fulljame*, who had c <n-ducted services at Tararu and Ohinemuri.would no longer ba available, as he hadaccept- d an appointment which would pre-vent him from .itten ing to them.

Presbytert Expenses.—lt was agreed tomake a fresh assessment en the congrega-tions to clear otf a debt of £20 due to Mr.Brown, clerk of the Presbytery.

After some other routine business wastransacted, the following special businesswas disposed of :—

INTEMPERANCE.The Rev. Mr. Masoit read a paper upon

the necessity of the Church co-operatingwi'h theefforts made by other org»nisationsestablished fur the purpose of preventing orcombatting the evils of intemperance. Al-though this part of the colony shewedfavourably in comparison with other parts,y;;t the evil of the excessive use of intoxi-c<nt3 waa visible, and the growth of the evilwosild be curtain unless some means weretaken to uproot it altogether. It was saidthat intemperance was a peculiar evilof cold countries, and it wm hoped that theclimate of New Zealand, being warm andtemperate, tha evil would no» be permanentin the warmer parts of this eoiony. Upwardsof one hundred and forty miliione of moneyannually were expended in drink, and tothat must bo added ten million?, whichwas the cause of p»uperism that mainlyresulted from drinking habits. Tothat again must ba added the cost ofthose p.\tietits in lunatic asylums and hos-pitals who were the victimsof intemperance.The resources of a vast proportion of theEnglish population were being squandered,and the people themselves becoming im-poverished. Tho liquor traffic b*I increasedenormously of lMii years—the amount ex-pended on intoxicating liquors was£118,000,030 in 1870, in 1873 it was£140,000,000. Intemperance was consumingthe vital > nergiee of the Anglo Saxon raoe.It fowed the seeds of disease braadcist, for,although the tablei of mortality she ved thegreet number of deaths from tbe vice of in-temperance, Dr. Richardson estimated thatdouble tho number of deaths from thaicause -was attributable to diseases whichwould not have manifested themselves hadthepatientbeen of sober 2nd temperate h \bits.Intemperance was the main cause of thenumber of fallen and destitute womenwho were to be found in the the streets,It was the greatest obstructive of every reli-gions effort. It was the moat serious obsta-cle to the work of the missionary. Thesteady increaseof th-sconsumption of intoxi-cants proved thatunless some active measureswere taken to prevent the further progressof the evil it would be toolate to endeavourto cope with it, and the result must bewidelydisastrous. As to the means to bsadopted to mitigate the evil they wereYarioui. The Legislature might be inducedto amend the licensing laws, and to adoptsuch a measure as the Adulteration ofLiquora Act The forms of adulterationwerenumerous—by an admixture of cocculusindiens, foxglove, copperas, alum?iiasaia, and a number of other ingredients,

u fact, of the many who from drink,maay were actually poisoned. Sαoh mea-sures as Mr. Chanib?rlain'e, known aa theGottenburg Act, might be recommended.There were various ways in which '

the L?gwUtaro might bo approachedand petitioned t3 as<tst. There weresocial ixpeJienta which would influencethe pcoplo themselves, sncS wers the est&b-litbrnent of what were known as "coffeepa'aceV the resort to periodical festivalsanil social gatherings, th; organisation o!Binds of Hope. One gr<at influence wouldb) the force of persona! example in totallyabstaining from intoxicating Unnks. Hebelieved th*t a Princess of Royal Familywns a total abstainer. The President ofAm-rica and his la<ly were tjial abstainers,

that the time Wiis gooe by when it couldbe urged that there wasanythingderogatoryin the profession of total ab.tmence. Theestablishment of such commuuitie* as thatof Saltaire proved thac a reformation waspractical if the temptations to indulgencewere taken away.

The Moderator read a letter from theRev. Mr. MoCallara, recom nsnd'ng a con*ference which shoald iuclu.de ttie ministersof other Churche3.

The Rev. Mr. Bruce thought tha, to gointo a conference after a long Presbyterypeierant, was a.bous the worst way possibleto promote the object in vi<:w. Many mem-bers had to go array. There feh »uld be aspecial upon thj subject. Thepaper read by Mr. Ma*on was very long,and he had thrown one * suggestion thatBjtne other member might read a longerpaper. la the statern nt made there wasnothing actually ne<v. .Most members of thePresbytery wereacquainted with thestatisticsquoted aud agreed with the obj-ct whichMr. Mason ha lia view. H* thought it thePresbytery wer* to go in'.o a conference,there should be s »me limitation of the timeallowed to speakers.

After soma discussion, the Presbyterywent into conference on th 1* subject.

The Rev. Mr. M then mov.'d, "Thatthis Presbytery vinws with de»p regret themanifold evils of intemperance, and &ympa-thiseswi;h every legitimate effort for lessen-ing them; it looks *i:h favmr on theestabliahineut of Banda oftlope, reoinmeu'S the ofsocial drinking habits as practised in thecolony, both by prceep" and example; andsuggests that a s- rm n be preached on theevils of intemperance, on —Sabbathof ■ month, a- may suit the convenienceof ministers aud co:iyre4at;. n?."

Mr. Jo L.vMB regr tv.d that thereshould be as»y ncnai' ivencss on th.'s subject,lie had b.licved that thore was no cauee intowhich rho ministers of the couldenter sd worthy of effirt as the suppressionof this giaab evil. Hj hid o ice con-neutid wi'h an inquiry iut> ihs causes ofprostitution, and it was ascertained that 95per cent of th) women employed inpublic-houses vv»»nfc on the A mil-liju and a-hnlf o; money was spent iu thisc-dor.y every year ia intoxwatfu* drinku.A caJcul-\tion ma le Hy Mr. R.

Luak, theprovincial accoantatS, shewed *hab everyfamily on the avc.-ra«»4 expended £22 a-year in drink The burd n of diseasewhich was cost up<m the community wa?, ina measar *, due t<> the consumption ofintoxicating drinks. lie believed that ssocial reformation in respect to the use ofintoxicating liquors v?a* noi a difficult thingif ministers of rd'gion, professional men,and business mea, bwlding responsible posi-tion-', would recite upon some active stepsforits nt.

The R v. Mr. Monro thought the evilwould incr:a?e becau-53 tho mems taken tolessen it were not the proper means. Hethought that any active interference withthe people wo.ild do m:)re harm than good.The remedy was one which involved thegrowth of habit and wjs not to ba found inany amount of talkiug ««n the subject. Noobj»cti>u could be taken to Bands of Hope,a;jd pr«»'o««%lg, but he was opposed toexacting a pie from children that wouldbind them for th-ir life. He believed theintroduction of th '. growth of light wiuessuch as were consum d n France woulddivert the public ta->t s from the more 6eryand destructive l:qu >rs. While i > Francs hesaw but oiirj pers >:i the w«>r-»e f *r 1 quor, andthit one p rs 11, he was ashamed tosiy, wasa Scofchmtn. He believed that mauydevicesmighc bo t> improve social habits.Ho thought the thanks *»f the communitywerj due to the likr .ld for the publicationof M". Mackrchtiie'.i on "Alcohol."with that paper ho (Mr. Munro) thoroughlyagreed. It contained his view* completely.

Trie Kev. Mr. MACKYsrcondfd thomotion.He thought the wa< of great impor-tance. He wan sorry that Mr. l.a*nb shouldimpute any s nsitive iess ;o the Freabyteryon this subject.

Mr. Lamb: No. 1 was rath r annoyedthat when this question cauie up certainmembers of the wei.t away. Ioußider is is tho m si important questionthat could occupy the attenaon of any de-liberative body.

The Rev. Mr. Mackt believed that ex-ample was the greatest iuflui.nco that couldbe brought'.o b.*ar upon popular habits. Ofcourso there were various ways of divertingattention fr «m Lh*-temptati »nsjto drink. Allthese should have weight. Ho had beent venty-livo years pastor of Ot:thuhu, and hewa3 happy to say lie knew of no drunkennesswithin tho church. Whatever there was,was outside. He believed this result wasdue to the example set by the xueqabers,eiders, and office bemvs.

The Rev. Mr. Nonius agreed in the mainwith the Btateme .t ma le by Mr. Mason.There was n »th ng absolutely ia thatstatement. He- believe I a beefbtoak and acup of cofF-e was a really exc ?ll .nt pillandblack draught fom the disease of intemper-ance. Ho thought rniniat-rs muht them-6elrcs ba left to select the means of pro-moting the end in view.

Tho Rev. Mr. Kvan'3 spoke upon thecause which appeared to alieuate severalpsople who would bo its friends from thsmovement.

After some further discussion, the motionof the Rev. Mr. Misroa was put, and passedunanimously.
