PARLIAMENTARY.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Wellington, September 28. The Council met at 2.30. TJBUBY PREVENTION. The Minister for Education moved the aeoond reading of the Usury Prevention Bill Mr Stevens strongly opposed the measure as a futile interference of the law between the rates of interest agreed on by borrower and lender. He spoke at length on the subject of the prevention of usury, and ' characterised the Bill aB a mere politioal oatoh cry. , , , He was followed by a number of coun cillors m the same Btrain, and Mr Macgregor moved that the Bill be read that day six, months, , . After a disoussion, lasting the whole afternoon, this was carried by 14 to 10, and the Bill was thuß rejected.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

She House met at 2.30. OBDEB OF BUSINESS. The Premier stated that the aeoond read ing of the Mining Bill would be -taken to morrow evening, and the Alooholic Liquors Bill on Wednesday. The Public Works Statement would be brought down on Tuesday or Wednesday. QUESTIONS. In reply to questions, it was stated that instructions would be given to all registrars to have full and complete rolls compiled for the new electorates ; that the report of the . military adviser was m the hands of the printer, and would be brought down on Wednesday. IN COMMITTEE. The House went into Committee on several Bills, among the number being the Horowhenua* Block Bill. With regard to this Bill the Speaker said that, taking all the circumstances into con sideration, and the fact that a Royal Com mission was appointed, he could not but regard the meahure as one of public policy. He had heard, he added, with very great < regreat, what was said during the debate with regard to Major Kemp, whb was a « distinguished ally of this country during the I time of the Maori wars. B.e knew nothing about the circumstances of the Horowhenua case, and hardly knew Major Kemp, but he. remembered that on one occasion he had to compliment him upon the clearness of his statement which he made at the bar of the House. ■ ■» Mr Seddon said he did nob desire to with draw a single word he had said, and he had very good reason for saying all he did. In Committee on the Factory Act Amend ment Bill, clause 2 was altered to provide that tubercular phthisis should be regarded as an infectious disease for the purposes of the Act. • A new clause was added amending section 54 of the Act of 1894 m the direction of preventing young people working more than eight hours a day. In Committee on „ the v Fisheries Act Amendment Bill, new clauses were added ' providing that when shell fish are required jby natives for food they shall be exempt from the provisions of the Act, and provid ing that pipis shall not be deemed to be • shell fi-h. The Municipal Corporations Act Amend ment Bill, the Trade Unions Act, 1878, Amendment Bill, the Chattels Transfer Act Amendment Bill, the Law Practitioners and New Zealand Law Society Act Amendment Bill, and the Infant Life Protection Bill passed through Committee practically with out amendment. The House rose at 5.30 p.m. The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. The Horowhenua Block Bill was con sidered m Committee. Bir Robert Stoat moved a series of amendments, which caused a very lengthy debate. Sir Robert explained that all his amendments asked for was that if fraud had 'been committed, the Court should decide and not the House, which he contended was not the proper tribunnal to deal with it. Captain Russell '.moved to amend clause 3 to determine whether or not Major Kemp's tenure of the land should be interfered with. After a long discussion this was lost by 27 to 16. Captain Russell strongly protested against the Bill, which he said was a disgrace to . Parliament. The Hon. J. McKenzie said that a certain number of members were endeavouring to prevent the Government from putting right a fraud which had been perpetrated on the natives, who had been deliberately robbed of their land. On clause 3 Mr Bncbanan ' moved an amendment to provide that the question of the titles involved should be adjudicated upon by the Supreme Court. Lost by 23 to 13, and the clause was added to the Bill by 22 to 14. The remaining clauses passed without material alteration. The Bill was reported from Committee and the third reading waß fixed tor next day. BILLS PASSED, The Trade Union Act Amendment Bill, Law Practitioners and New Zealand Law ' Society Act Amendment Bill, Infant Life Protection Bill, Factories Act Amendment Bill, t-ea Fisheries Act Amendment Bi 1, were reported from Committee and put through final stages. - The House rose at 3 a.m.

THE FIRE BRIGADE.

TO THE EDITOR. Sib, — Referring to a letter appearing m your issue of 23rd inst., signed "Max Friedlander," it was not my intention to reply to his imputation of want of ability and common sense on the officers of the Fire Brigade, for several reasons, but chiefly for this one— -that if we were to take notice of .everything that is said at each fire that tabes place (it is not long ago since we were subjected to annoyance from the interference of an inexperiensed person), we should be always emplojret m writiog explanatory letter*. But at the request of a few friende, and to remove afeeliDg of unceitainty which has taken; hold of the minds of several burgesses, I trust you will allow me to state the faota as to what occurred at the late fire at Mr Brooke's dip factory. I was first at the scene of the fire after the alarm had been given, and immediately decided to station .the steamer, at the sump where it subse quently, drew itß supply. If the curricle bad arrived, it would have been placed at the West street supply ; but no alarm had been given at that BtatioD, and the engine did not turn out. There was an insufficient supply m the West street channel for the steamer, but m any case the steamer would have been placed at the East street sump. As a good supply of water was coming down East street as far as Tanored* street, and as the steamer cannot be worked from the shallow channel m West street, and requires con siderably more depth of water than the manual engines, a good sized hole must have been dug before the engine could be started. A man had been sent up to turn the switches ab Tancred and Moore streets, and a good mpply started to come down, when by some means both the switches at Burnett street were opened, and delay occurred until another two men had been sent to remedy the evil. The Brigade have distinctly refused to take any leaponsibility m connec tion with the water supply, although they are, when men are available, willing to assist the water ranger. So far as the officers of the Brigade are concerned, they will bejmly too happy to hand over the uniforujß to persons gifted with as keen a perception as Mr Friedlander, should the Council ao desire. — I am, etc., Alfred A. Fooks, Captain A.V.F.B.

He tn de a practical acquaintance with the tick pist, and inspected a number of meat works. The principal, object of his visit was to ascertain if Queens: land hidrs and bones could be safely introduced into New Zeaftind without introducing ticks. Mr Gilruth has come to the conclusion that if the hides were properly salted there was 'no danger m importing them. As regards bones, they are subjected to heat, and the only chance of the transmission of ticks through their agency would bo on the bags m whic-i the honed ust was packed. 1 hU is a matter of detail which coul i be. easily ove>c mo.'

The Record Reign.

■ .+. The following poetical references to the fact of Her Majesty's reign having lasted longer than that of any other English monarch, appeared oa the 24th, the first m the Otago Daily limes, and the latter m the Neiv Zealand Times (Wellington) :'— THE ROYAL RECORD. This is a time of joy, a time of mirth. O'er all the seas and shores around the Earth , Whereon the triple CroBS appears u'nfurl'd, The brightest symbol of the Freemen's World. Leap back ! leap back o'er three score years, and see The chart that guides the " Islands of the Free,"— Leap further back, where History has Bet Her stamp on Tudor and Piantagaoeb. Let poets sing of .Roses, White and Red, They little reck of all the bondsmen dead, Who fought and bled to build up tyrants' thrones With brave men's blood cementing brave men's bones. Oh ! pass them by, and let the despots sleep With brutal Harry m the deepest deep ; And let us pass Great Bess— misnamed the "Good," Her bands are red with Scottish Mary's blood ; Pass by the axe, the faggot, and the flames, The pluoky Dutchman and the weak kneed James ; Pass by the Georges, too, — Oh ! let them rest, The least about them said, we know is best ; . Let William sleep the peaceful sleep of those Whore born aad bred for nothing - but repose ; Come to the time when Canterbury pray'd At Kensington, beside that modest, maid Who raised her weeping eyes and gentle face To God's high throne, imploring strength and grace To Work for Right and battle against Wrong, To ever shield the weak against the strong, To live for justice, and to rule the land With firm and steady, yet with gentle hand. Then men of might throng'd round the Maiden's throne- She did not wield the Sceptre all alone, She was the magnet and they form'd the steel, — Melbourne and Brougham, Wellington and Peel ; . And Gladstone, too— Conservative when young,— Entranced the Senate with his fluent tongue, And now, although he wears a crown of snow, He loves his Queen as he did long ago, Maturer years showed him the trend of mind, He march'd ahead while others lagg'd behind. Then to her feet, with brain bo clear, and bright . With genius, came the Christian Israelite With eyesight keen, prepared tg form,, a plan '•.■ To spread her power and stretch the Empire's span, Though Whig and Tory grappled each for power, They still adored Old England's fair young And bars and bolts were broken, year by year, And Freedom walk'd unshackled, without . fear r The Irish Giant came, with mighty sledge, To burst up Bigorty with Reason's wedge, He loved Old Ireland and he loved the Green, But yet, be loved Old England's youthful Queen. We're on the hilltops here, and o'er the waves We see the shadows flit o'er great men'B graves, We see the Grand Old Lady m her sere, We see her honor'd m the Record Year We see her orown'd with many a brilliant gem, ; All precious stones illume her diadem, But still there's one which shines the rest above,, 'Tis named her people's Fealty and Love. Thomas Bracken. HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN. Queen of queens, and of women best, Whose Empire reaches from East to West, From the rising unto the setting aun ; Whose gracious sceptre hath rival none, Far away m these Southern seas A loyal people, on bended knees, Petition the King, all kings above, For blessings rare on the Queen they love.
