They comprise seventy-three adults and two children, sixteen of the number being women. The majority are young men, formerly employed in London offices in ci*y occupations, only a few being practi cally acquainted with the work of farming. .Nearly all possess a lir.fcle money, and it appears to be the general intension to see the work on farms prior to taking up land. Though not practical "armers, the majority of the immigrants appear to be of a good stamp and suitable for settlers. Mr Courtney had given % number of lectures on Taranaki in England, and thess were the means of inducing many to come out. Mr J.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

[per press association.

London, August 13. In the House of Commons, Mr Bal j four asked why the Irish Executive should be granted a power which the British Government did not possess. Mr Gladstone said that the question involved Imperial concerns. Mr Courtney moved that Iho mem bers of the Executive should be allowed to speak in both Houses, but not have the power to vote. Mr Gladstone re garded the innovation with suspicion, and thought they had better leave it to the Irish Parliament. The proposal was negatived. It is reported that a section of the Cabinet, led by Sir "W. Yernon Har court, is opposed to an autumn session, while Mr Fowler and others are in favor of it. It is rumoured that there is serious disagreement on the sub ject. The brothers Delahunty, who re ceived life sentence in 1882 for agrarian outrages in Ireland, have been re leased. The Radical press regret the action of the Government, which they think an unwise step. The "St. James' Gazette," a Con servative organ, says that Mr Glad stone is buying the votes of the Red mondite section. Sir Charles Russell, speaking at Rugby upon the new clauses of the Home Rule Bill, relative to the sus pension of the Habeas Corpus Act, strongly opposed it. It is understood that the "Whips reported that a division on the clause would be dangerous.

HEAVY SCORING.

(Received August 15, 11.15 a.m.) London, August 14. W. Giffen, Coningham, and Jarvis stand out of the Australian team in the All England match which began at the Oval to-day. Flowers could not play for England, and W. W. Read was selected in his place. The weather was splendid and there was an enormous attendance. An excellent wicket was provided and the ground was in first rate order, 3D that the conditions were all favorable to heavy scoring. The Home team were lucky enough to win the toss, and went in first. The greatest interest is being taken io the match all over England. The English men made a splendid start, and so far have only lost three wickets for two hundred runs—Grace 68. Stoddart 83, Gunn 16. Despite all the changes in the bowling, scoring went on steadily aH through. Grace began flukily, but as soon as he got set punished the bowling severely. When he had made 44 he was badly missed by Trumble ia the slips off an easy chance. There were nine fours in his score. Stoddart was only b%tt'n? two hours for his runs, which included eleven fours and &ix threes. The only chance he gave was a very difficult one in the slips. After the first two left, Gunn and Shrewsbury steadily took the total to 200, when Gunn retired, the Notts crack being still in.

Anyone la active employment of any kind can save .enough to pay the Instalment by catting down expenses. What many spend in cigars and beer, horse-racing and cards, would buy a House and Section. Don't hesitate because your earnings are small; nuke roar expenses on] a little less than now. Many will be ready to take it off your hands at a profit.
