Mr Reeves moved the second reading of the Public School Teachers Incorpora tion and Court of Appeal Bill. He explained the provisions of the Bill at some length, and said that if it wera paveed into law it would do a good de*vl to allay the feelings of anxiety that at present were disturbing the minds of some of the beet men in the teaching profession, The first portion of the Bill provided machinery for registering Teachers' Institutes as co-operative bod'Gs. In case of an appeal the teacher must; obtain ihe asvsent of the Teachers' Institute in his district, and the institute would be held responsible for any costs that might be given against the appellant. The Appeal Board would consist of three arbitrators, one to bo appointed by the Education Board, and one by the Teachers' Institute concerned, the third member to be one of the Stipendiary Magistrates for the district, the selection to be made by the Minister Several members warmly complimented Mr Reeves on the introduction of this Bill, adding that it would be a good thing if the right of appeal were extended to all branchefe of the Civil Service in the colony Sir Roberr Stout, Dr Newman, and others strongly urged that some provision should be made for th« establishment of a superannuation fund in connection with the teaching profession The second reading was agreed to on the voicea

The Water Supply Act Amendment Bill, which ia of a local character, was read a second tim« FAJIt REHT BILL The Minister of Lands moved the second reading of the Fair Rent Bill, to provide means for fixing a fair rent for land. He eaid that the enquiries which had been made by the Government showed that there was a general desire for this Bill, and he himself thought that there was a great necessity for ir. The Bill proposed to appoint for each district a fair rent board to consist of three mem bers to be appointed by the Governor-in- Oouncil, the Stipendiary Magistrate to he a member and president of the Board. After learning all particulars the board shall determine what ia a fair rent sffacted by the application, and from what date a fair rent is to commence. It must be remembered that the Bill would app'y to both sides, and the tenant might be called upon to pay an increased rate of rent Mr McKenzie defended the prircipla of the Bill at some length, and contended that the mere fact of the Act being on the Statute Book wou'd prevent very many cases coming to the hoard Whether or not the Bill passed this session he felt convinced that a Fair Rene Bill would sooner or later be placed en the Statute Book of the colony

SSrKobert Stout strongly criticised the Bill, and said that it showed that lease in perpetuity waa a huge failure. He urged that the Bill should apply only to Crown tenants with fixity ©f tenure Mr Duncan said that he would warmly support the Bill at all its stages Mr Bobert Thompson regretted that the Ministt r had not brought in the Bill to apply only to Crown lands It was generally understood that the Bill waa to go on further than this. The debate was interrupted by the 5 30 adjournment The House resumed at 7.30 p.m*

The debate en the second reading of the Fair Rent Bill was carritd on until 9.30 p.m.. when the Minister of Lands replied. He said that he could never ft^ree to make the Bill apply only to

. Orown tenants abd ieaVe oiii private i cnanta. He would drop the Bill altogether rather than agree loan amend mint such as this. He had no hope that ihe Bill wou'd pass the third reacting chia session, but still he thought that the discussion that had taken place would do ' good

The second reading was carried by 30 to 7

BILLS PASSED The Public School Teachers Incorpora tion and Court of Appeal Bill, the Water .Supply Act Amendrrunt Bill, and Stock 1 Act Amendment Bill passed through committee without rnateml amendment, and were put through their final stages The House rose at 1.15 a m.

Fire at Coolgadie.

Wellington, October 10

Mr W. Gray, Secretary to the Post Office, received the following cablegram from Sir C. Todd, Postmaster-General, South Australia : —*' Mr Scholl, the Postmaster-General, Western Australia, telegraphs n;e as follows : —' A terrible firejj has occurred at Cool gardie, and Bayley street is destroyed. The Post and Telegraph office was fearfully knocked about, but was saved by the superhuman and noble efforts of the staff assisted by the public. The cewspaper office adjoining is gone. We are working in an open field close by. I am afraid the quadruplex machine is damaged. The officers are knocked up, and business will be delayed. The fire originated by the upsetting of a lamp in Hines' buildings.' "

London, October 9

Tne total quantity of wheat and flour afloat for the United Kingdom is 2,1)0,000 quarters, and for the Continent 880,000 quarters

Melbourne, October 10

A meeting of the committee of the Chamber of Commerce dealt with the complaints that the trade in feed grain was being diverted from Melbourne to New Zealand and Tasmania, owing to the use of second hand bags. It was decided to bang the matter prominently uider the notice, of farmers, and urge them to use new bags. The Age, referring to the New South Wales loan, says that it ought to be an instructive lesson in connection with the suggested consolidation of the Victorian loans, and it strongly urges the adoption of the proposals. The general concensus of opinion, it acids, is that the interest now being paid is out of proportion to the earning capacity of the loan money.

i The nuptials of Mr Godfrey L. Foster, with Isabella) eldest daughter of Mr J. L. Brown, builder, Ashburton, were celebrated yesterday in the old fashioned Scotch way. The bride was married at her father's 'am ingle'—at her father's own fireside, and by her am minister, the Rev G. B. Inglis—Miss Bessey Grub, of Lyttelton, and her own 6>istar, Miss Jemima Brown, being bridesmaids. She wore a light choco late cashmere dress, trimmed with silk of shades of chocolate and pink, with veil and orange blossoms, while her bridesmaids were in light fawn, silk trimmed, dresses, with hats in keeping. Mr West was best man. After the ceremony the guests sat down to a sumptuous repast, the table bearing which had for centre ornament a very large wedding cake, the joint structure [ and present of Mr and Mrs Bruckshaw, Lagmhor. This cake waa quite a work of ait of which no pastrycook would have had reason to be ashamed. With the afternoon train the happy couple left for the south to spend their honey moon, while the young people who remained spent a joyous, hearty, and happy time in song and danna under the old rooftee. The newly-wedded pair were the recipients of many aud valuable presents.
