POLITICAL NEWS.

(FJWM OUR CORRESPONDBNT.)

Wellington, November 10, There was very little of Interest In last night's debate. D? Newman and Dr Hodgklnson acted the candid friends to the Government, and Sydney Tafwhanga sang a dismal dirge over Sir J. Yogel, laying the country and the Houae were all against the poor old man. Meßßrg W. R. Reeves and Taylor ad veraely criticised the Budget. The debate was adjourned at 11 30.

To-day, being a private members' day the afternoon will be occupied by local Bills, of which twenty are on the order paper.

Captain Rusiell has been appointed Chair man of the Midland Railway Committee, and the Committee will now meet from day to day,

The Auckland and Taranakl members met this morning to consider what steps are necessary to be taken to reopen the question of the route of the North lal«nd Trunk Railway The meeting was strongly m favor of stopping the work at the sonthern end of the line and having a proper survey made of the Stratford route, A Committee was appointed to wait on the Government tonrge this view.

Begarding the rumor mentioned yester day that it was most likely that an amendment would be moved during the Financial Debate, I now learn that Mr Moss will not move ualess assured he will receive thorough loyal soppo>t. In order to ascertain their real strength the Protectionist members will meet to morrow and deolde what course to take.

On the motion of Major Steward tba Houae has ordered that there be laid before it a return showing the area situa tion and value of all reserves of rural land of fifty aores In extent and upwards within the provincial districts of Canter bury and Otago, let apart for the purposes of primary or secondary education or for collegiate endowments ; snob retnrn to be arranged by the electoral distiicta, and to specify the acreage of each reserve ; to state approxmately the distance of each snoh reserve from the nearest town and from a line of railway, Jand the nature of the land classifying it as first c, \or eeoond class, agricultural or pastoral," as the case may be ; also to show m what body or person such reserves respectively are" vested, whether under lease or other tenure, the names of lessees, rental paid, and the .dates at which the existing leace ox tenure will expire.

PARLIAMENTARY NOTES.

[FBOM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT. J Wellington, November 9. NO-OOSFIDENCE MOTION. I have it on excellent anttaorlty that notice of an amendment wiU probably be given to-day by an Independent member traversing the general policy of the Government, and especially condemning the neglect of the Government to deal with the question of tha revision of the tariff Mr Mow Is mentioned as the probabe mover of the amendment. governor's salary. I Romor says the Government aro not dnioere In the proposal to reduce the Governor 1 ! valavy, and It ii stated that if the Bill ii passed by the Legislature, it would be reserved for the Queen's assent, whloh would not be given, It la not probablt, however, that the Government would thai betray >beir intention, and I give the minor oniy aa a current Item of lobby goisip. TVAXTOTAKA PETITION Rumors continue to reach me m respect to this matter, which gravely implicate a member of the late Ministry, and it is said that a most serious disclosure is likely to btf made. At present, however, there are no means of verifying the rumors, Wellington, November 10. LICENSING COMMITTEES. Major Steward will ask leave to intrd dace a Bill to provide for Triennial election of Licensing Committees. VOICE OF THE COUNTRY, Several petitions hayA-fe^n presented praying that the question of. the revision of the Tariff be dealt with this session. To-day, on behalf of Mr Speaker, Mr Moss presented a petition with a prayer, as above, bsvlng over one thousand Auckland signatures. GOVERNMENT HOUSE. Mr O'Conor has given notice to ask Government if they will consider the desirableness of making the Governm ent House aerre for a museum or other public institution, selling the street frontages abont it for building purposes and the Ministerial residence, Tlnakori road, to be the future residence of the Governor. FIRE BBIGAOTS. In reply to a question to-day Majoi Atkinson eald he had no intention of striking of! the estimates the annual grant usually set apart for Fire Brigades. He professed very large sympathy with the brigades and would probably ask the House to deal fairly with them during the aeißlon, THB C'HINKBE AGAIIT. Mr Reeves, Inangahua, has given notioe to introduce a Bill to amend the Mloea Act Amendment Bill, m the direction of imposing a £10 tax on Chinamen working on the goldfieldn. SHOP HOURS BILL. Mr Joyce's Shop Hours Bill provides lor the £lostog of all retail shops except licensed housed, refreshment roomi, and newspaper offices between thehours of 6 p.m. and i v 5«D°., except on Saturday when they may remain open till 10 p.m.^Ohemlsti »nd druggists may iuppty medlolne, but their shops shall not be open for the sale of anything else after the bours specified. PROTECTION V FBfETBADE. There was a Bpirlted little Protectlon- Freetrade debate yesterday afternoon on the motion by Mr Beavan that In the opinion of this House it is desirtvbla and necesaary that an import duty of not less them 2s 6d per ton be imposed on all ooal Imported into the colony from other countries. The speeches pro and c«n were sharp and crisp, but you would not thank me for burdening your columns with the oft. repeated Arguments. Messrs Reeves, Feldwlck, Seddon, Fltchett and O'Connor supported the motion, and Messrs Ward, Taylor, Mills and Fisher Bpnke against it Mr Joyce moved the adjournment of the debate, which was •greed to- . .

THE FINANCIAL DEBATE.

(From our Co-respondent.) Wellington, November 10. Mr Sooble MoKetzie will move an amendment daring the Finwnolal debate, possibly to-night, to the eff ot that the Government shall reduce the sum pro posed to be borrowed.

DEATH RITES IN INDIA.

It Is but a few years ago [that oertaln officials tn Oalcutta erected a large oven ' m which the bodies of the Hindooß might be rapidly oremated : bat this whole* some mode of consuming was rejeated as heterodox ; yet still on dark night*, and at the etated placeß on the holy river, from Calcutta npward to Banares, may be seen solemn flames that reduce tha dead to ashes and may be heard on the itill air of the Indian sky, the wslllogs that tell of sorrow and separation, The Mohammedan In India, as elsewhere, buries his dead ; bat the Hindoo commits their aoheß to Father Gangs, amid the waters of whloh they are supposed to be restored to participate m happier scenes than earth can present — a por tion of mythology too vast to be entorod on here. To be without a ion to close one's eyes Is to ensure another period of probation — and perhaps a degrading , one — In this- world ; hence the law of adopting, to whloh we have so often had to refer. To die m Benares la to seoaro immortality ; and to die on the banks of the Ganges—the highway to heaven— ls essential to everlasting joy. Hence on the burning Uhaut at Calcutta may be seen at times six or seven bodies, each on Its pile of wood— often of the most costly description, if the people be wealthy —surrounded by officiating Brahmins and mourning friends. The Parsees dispose otherwise of their dead, On a hill In the Island of Bombay (oalled by the Europeans Malabar Hill) stand, all within a short distance of each other, the churchyard of the Obriatians, the ceme tery of the Mussulman, the place where the Hindoos cremate their dead, and the Tower of Silence, where the Parsees leave theirs uncoffiaed, to be de voured by the birds of the air. It Is a lofty square enclosure, without roof or covering of any kind. Huge bloated vultures and kites, gorged with human fl9Bh throne lazily the summit of the lofty wall surrounding the stone pavement, whloh is divided Into three compartments, wherein the corpses of men, women, and of children are hid apart, and nude as they came Into the world . Borne relative or friend anxiously watches, at a short distance, to ascertain which eye Is first plucked out by the birds ; and from thence

it is Inferred whether the sonl of the departed is happy or miserable. Tha Pareeea regard with horror the Hindoo method of disposing of the dead, by throwing the bodies or ashes Into rivers ; yet their own custom Is even more repug nant to the feelings of the Europeans In India.— "Oaßaoll's Illustrated History of India."
