IN THE LOBBY.

' [FROM OUR PARLIAMENTARY CORRESPON DENT.] , Wellington, To-day, v. There was a protracted Cabinet meet Ins yesterday, at which various matten were discussed, notably the Financial Statement. It is now believed that the Statement will not be delivered on Wed nesday, as has been promised, but will be held over "till Friday, as being a more convenient day. The Estimates will be circulated immediately afterwards, j Trouble is likely to arise over the New Zealand Native Land Company’s Bill •boat to be introdnaed. Shareholders and Directors sit on both sides of the house; and as*for the Ministry, Mr Bryce k-said- to be Opposed to the measure, while- Mr Whitaker is one of its strongest advocates. The Bill authorises the Company to acquire an* native lands which the Maoris may be willing to place under their management. Such lands are toibe surveyed and' sold, a portion of the proceeds to be given to the natives as their share, and the other portion to the Com , pany. Serious apprehensions are expressed ny some members as to the danger of con ferring exceptional privileges on a Com pany with so large and ambitious a pro gramme. pne objection is that the Com pany is creeping into existence under the

. guise, of philanthropy, .while* the real effect of creating it must be to hand over to this Company the whole management pf native lends, and practically the control of . the. native - policy in the North Island- ft' r George Grey least due. relative . connected with the Company, though Sir George is keeping silently aloof at present, and the Directors ale uncertain whether he will support or oppose the Bill in the House. The probability is that the Cabinet may oppose the Bill, unless certain guarantees be. inserted, with the Object of securing Parliamentary control over the Company’s Operations. . Some ■ Liberal members are lookingto Sir George Grey to lead the dttaok against the principle of giving any private Company a; practical monopoly in manipulating, the great, question of the native land sales and of the North Island interior. If he fails to op pose it, they will denounce him as a rene gade from his principles.

. Adeputatjon of Canterbury and West land, members will wait on the Minister fdr'Poblib Works, to urge that the money appropriated out ot the loan for continu ing thkinain trunk railway northwards from Canterbury to'Cook Straits should ' be'diverted to the projected railway for connecting : Canterbury with Westland. Idthe'eventof the deputation getting an unfavorable reply, it. is' probable a pro ■ jjpsif’trill be made in -the House. for rais ing a further loan to effect this object. This wohld be'putting the .Canterbury to Westfswidrailway on the same footing as the North Isltmd Main Trunk Railway. :j Mr Hadfield, formerly interpreter in the Efawer House, has been appointed to atdt ih a similar capacity in the Legislative Otinncil ‘lice Mr Riemenschneider, dis rhissed, ’Mr 'Hamlin, brother of the mem ber for Franklyn South, sa d to be an ao cdmjklished 1 scholar, has been appointed * in JMr Hadfield’s place in the House of Representatives.

They combine L'ghtness of Draught, Practicability, and Cheapness, and meet the approval of all who have examined j them. ,



Over 500 at work in New Zealand since 1880. This Patent Harrow has been awarded First Prize at the recent Exhibition held in Christchurch New Zealand, May, 1882, and the following prizes were also gained after competitions, trials, and testings:— Ist Prize Medal at Taieri Agricultural Show, 1880 Ist Prize at the Mataura Show, Gore, 1880 Ist Prize at the Invercargill Show, 1880 Ist Award of Merit, Ashburton, Exhibi tion, March, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Napier Show, 1881 _ Ist Prize Medal, Invercargill Exhibition, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Launceston, Tasmania, 1882 Ist Prize for Light and Heavy, Dunedin, 1872 Ist Prize, Gore, 188!2 Ist Prize Medal, Taieri Show, November, 1881 let Prize, Patea Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Kiverton Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Oamaru Show, December, 1881 Ist Award of Merit, Dunedin Exhibition, 1881 Ist Prize, Dunedin Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Christchurch Exhibition, May, 1882 Ist Prize, Invercargill, December, 1882 Ist Prize Southbridge, 1882 FIRST PRIZE, ASHBURTON, 1882. The Principal Advantages op this Harrow are as Follows: — It is 25 per cent. Cheaper than any other. Because of its simplicity, it is more durable. The flexible and spring-tooth working of the Harrows produce a steady strain, which prevents horses from having sore shoulders. A twelve-foot Harrow can be taken to pieces and put together again by any boy in five minutes’ time. Every tooth being a component part of the Harrow, the extra labor and expense of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entirely done away with. Each tooth acts independently of the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, or unevenly ploughed ground. It is the only Harrow in the world that can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a bag ready for ship ment, or that can be taken to a black smith’s and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. It is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and well in harrowing crosswise over new ploughed ground, without turning over the turf. Because of the flexible and spring tooth movement of the Harrow it is im possible for any of its teeth catching against roots or rooks, thereby making it much easier for the team that is drawing it. It is a perfect Chain or Seed Harrow, when turned on its back, acting an inch or inch and a-half in the soil, leaving a smooth surface. 1132
