POLITICAL.

[VBR PRESS ASSOCIATION.! • Auckland, December 5. The Minister of Lands, tho Hon. J. McKcnzie, was entertained at a banquet at Whangarei. Replying to the toast of his health he warned the people not to be deceived by a section of the New Zealand press, whose interests it was to uphold monopoly in New Zealand. The Trades and Labour Council hold a apecial meeting on Monday evening next^ to choose a candidate for the vacant City seat who will be acceptable to all the Unions. • Mastekton, December 5. A banquet to the Minister of Justic^ and members of the Liberal party was given last night at JKketahuna, Forty persons were present. After supper speeches were delivered by the Minister of Justice, Messrs T. L. Buick and A. W. Horfg, M.TI.R. s, and several other pro minent Liberals of the district. Hon. Mr Beeves. ascribed the withdrawal or English capital from the colony to the fact thnt the rates of interest were lower than before. Mr Buick explained the objects of the National Liberal Federa-t tion at some length and invited those present to join the organisation.

The Melbourne Financial Crisis.

(MSB V&ESS ASSOCIATION.) Melbourne, December 3. The Standard Bank, which has sus pended payment, is not a bank of issue but a small financial institution, (Received December 5, 10.35 p.m.) London, December 4. ■■ The suspension of the Standard Bank in Melbourne has caused intense surprise in the city. There are five hand red shareholders and nearly £300,000 of deposits in London. (Received December 5, noon) Mklbourns, December 5. The passing of the Companies Act Amendment Bill, which stops the com pulsory winding up of companies against the will and interests of credi tors, has done much to allay the pre railing uneasiness. In the opinion of financial circles the failure of the Standard Bank has cleared the air. Its position has been much talked about of late, and while it remained open confidence was not likely to be restored. The failure, however, has caused soroe embarrass ment to small traders. The Federal Building Society took a decisive stand. While not actually suspending payment it declined to pay, but arranged with one of tho associated banks to take over its deposits and give the unfortunate depositors deposit receipts. This had the desired effect and restored confidence.

At an inquest held at Dipton, Southland, touching the fire which destroyed the stead ing and dwelllug of the farm of R. English, at Oastlerock in October last, the jury re turned a verdict to the effect that the fire had been originated wilfully, but that there was no evidence to show who did it. The following rider was attached:—" That the jury considered the buildings were over-in sured and the efiectß claimed for not in the different buildings at the time of the fire." The house had not been occupied for some time, Mr English having removed, and the witnesses alleged that little or ho furniture had been left in it, while from the appearance of the debris it seemed unlikely that 300 bags of oats, as was stated by Mr English, could have been consumed in the flames.
