The Ashburton Herald AND Borough and County Advertiser (With which is incorporated the “Evening Echo”). THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1879.

Sir George Grey, with a semblance of confidence in the people’s belief in him,-has applied to.the Governor for a dissolution. His Excellency has granted it, so that the colony will be subjected to the cost and turmoil of a general election at a time, the woist, perhaps, >n the colony’s histoi'y that could have

-hosen for it—when business is been u. ’•'ndstill, and the smoulder almost at a su. not yet had its iilg Maori diffi cU , Q f bursting into possibility hav£ not much l.touT* o *-, Zealand are not the would make out their * Home to be, and know m ** ' ■ he does when they are offered husks , i stead of corn. It will take him and has* party all they know to bring about a Y&- vjuleion of the widespread feeling to which the large majority in the House, voting as the Representatives of the people, have given expression, and all the wild, vamped up enthusiasm of the, Government’s creatures in the press and elsewhere will not a van to change the opinion of the people that the de feated Ministry have met the deserts of men' who have been found wanting. The financial measures necessary for carrying on public business, and pro bably the Loan Bill, will sum up the work to be done by the House as it now stands, and then we shall be asked to give our votes for the formation of a new House.

Inquest.' —The infant son of John M £ Neil, shepherd on the Springfield Station, died last Tuesday—from diph theria, according to Dr. Ross’s evidence to day at the inquest. No medical man had been called, and consequently it was necessary to call twelve men from their business for two hours to say that the infant died from natural causes. The Dissolution. —Our own correspon dent telegraphs from Wellington to-day that the Opposition will not . oppose supplies. He adds that an election will take place early, and it will be a hurried one. ■ ;

A Rowdy Woman. —Annie Walsh, an old offender, will be tried to-morrow for being drunk and dirorderly, and using obscene language. Life in America. Mr. Johns de livered his racy lecture last night in the Primitive Methodist Chapel to a fair audience. . He kept up his hearers’ in terest for nearly two hours’ with his happy description, of sights and scenes m America.

Parliamentary. —After the defeat of his Government, Sir George Grey waited on His Excellency the Governor, and ad vised him to grant a dissolution. His Excellency granted the dissolution, em bodying the concession in the following words, which Sir George asked him to commit to writing for laying before the House :—“ I have carefully considered the position in which Ministers are placed by the defeat which they have .sustained in the House of Representatives upon a no confidence motion, and am clearly ,of opinion that they have a fair constitutional claim to a dissolution. No doubt a general election would be inconvenient at the present moment, having regard to the condition of public business, the prevail ing financial depression, and the circum stances 'of the colony generally, and especially to the Native difficulty on the -West" Coast. I therefore presume that Ministers have carefully considered the consequences of such a step before ten dering to me the advice, and I am, there fore, prepared to accept their recommen dation, leaving with them the entire responsibility of .such proceeding. .At the same time, I think it right to stipulate that the well-recognised' constitutional principles which govern events like the present should be strictly adhered to. Ministers have lost the confidence of the representatives of the people, &nd are about to appeal from them to the country. A majority of the House of Represen tatives has' declared that Ministers have 30 neglected and mismanaged the adminis trative business of the country that they no longer possess the confidence of Parliament. It is indispensable under such circumstances, if Ministers o not at once that Parliament .should be dissolved with the least possible delay, and that, meanwhile, no measures shah be proposed that may not be imperatively required, nor any contested motion what ever brought forward. It is necessary also, and in accordance with an established Constitutional precedent, that a new Parliament shall be called together at the earliest possible moment at which the writs are returnable, and, if Ministers accept a dissolution upon this understand ing, I beg that any explanation the Premier may make to Parliament of the answer which I have given upon his tendered advice may be read in my words, —(Signed) Hercules Robinson!” The reply was ordered ,to be printed and a copy sent.to the leader of the Opposition, after which the House adjourned till Friday, to allow Government time to consider what are the most pressing measures to be, brought forward before they appeal to the country through a general election.

The Sydney Exhibition a Theme tor Music.—The forthcoming Australian! International Exhibition has attracted tlie attention of musical composers in the mo ther country. Charles D’Albert lias for warded to New South Wales sets of quad rilles and waltzes, which both hear the title of “ Sydney Exhibition. ” The quad rilles are supposed to typify New »Soutli Wales, Victoria, England, Switzerland, and Germany, fragments of the national airs of these countries being introduced. Each of the waltzes, too, is supposed to represent a nationality.

A Maori By-Law Breaker.— -The ostentatious Kawana Huriia was recently travelling in a first-class carriage between Halcombe and Greatford stations with a second-class ticket, his excuse being that he wanted the korero with the pakeha rangatiras. When tlie guard asked for Hie extra fare, he (the Kawana), with all the bounce imaginable, ordered the guard to move on ; but the latter was not in clined to be so submissive as perhaps one of the Kawana’s slaves would have been, and insisted that the Kawana should “ stump up ” or “ clear out ” into the car riage in which he should travel." The Kawana paid the extra fare, though with anything but a good grace. This gentle man (acids the Rangitikei Advocate) has been pampered and spoilt till he scarce knows how to behave himself with Native civility. Sir Julius’s Weakness. —The follow- Tng anecdote is related of a Member of the House of Representatives, who, among a certain coterie, is, nominated to run for future executive honors. Meeting an ac quaintance some years ago in front of the old Club on the Lambton Quay, tne toi loAvjing took . are you getting on here in v* f ( Rad, muii., cannot earn an honest penny on a Sunday now at 100 since Vogel has gone away.” The conversation took place on a Sunday evening when the church bells of the city were ringing to call the citizens to worship. The story has no merit whatever but its truth. Death ov an Old Colonist. Mb. William Ridler, who died at Petone on Thursday last, was one of the oldest settlers in the Wellington district. He arrived in Wellington by the ship feu Thomas Parkes in the year 1842, Lord Petre being one of his fellow-passengers. Mr. Ridler was actively engaged 111 some of the skirmishes which took place during the Maori war, and was one of the party who went out to recover the body of Mr. Gillespie, when that gentleman was mur dered by the natives at the Hutt. He resided on his farm at Petone for tliirty five years, and never was outside, the Wellington Heads since his arrival in the colony. The deceased gentleman leaves a large family, all of whom are doing well.

Looked at from Sydney.—The Sydney “Mail ” thus writes of Sir George Grey’s difficulty with Mr. Ballance •—*/ Affairs are unsettled in New Zealand in more ways than one. Sir George Grey, as the head of its Government, is tottering. At least he has lost his Ballance, or his worthy Treasurer of that name. ’Tis bad to have a row with one s treasurer. No sensible man ever does it. If I had a balance with two L’s in my treasury, I should feel more inclined to draw him closer to me 111 the bonds of friendship, although possibly our career would be checked. Single L, if followed by S D, is good ; but, shades of Kinahan ! LL is better, especially these cold nights, when a lemon, some sugar, and a copious supply of hot water are handy. It’s in the last mentioned of these Sir George will find himself if he does not become more social.

A Maori WtT.*re tor the Sydney Ex hibition. —The native 7/hare brought by the ss, ‘ Staffa from Whakatane for the Sydney Exhibition (says the H. B. Her ald,) is now lying on the Gisborne Town Wharf, previous to being forwarded to its destination. Some of -the carving is ex ceedingly well done, and a large number of persons have been down to inspect it. We feel sure it will not fail to attract ad miration from the visitors to the Ex hibition in Sydney, as it is one of the most perfect pieces of work in tlie colpny. ,

A Maori Dream,— The Hawke’s Bay “ Herald ” tells the following yarn £ - A certain native in the Wailcitto is said to have recently dreained a,dream, and the vision of his head upon his bed was this :—Standing at the door of his - whare he beheld Sir George Grey, who beckon.- pd to him to follow him out. This the native .endeavoured to do, bat found him self strapped to the ground, and unable to rise, Re called 6110 to Sir George, who returned apd unfastened the straps that held him to the grotuii,!. In an excess of gratitude the native rose u,p and em braced Sir George, who turned to by a weta in his embrace, and stung him.- Tire dreamer is said to be greatly exercised in his wind in consequence, and lias called a locaiD.anml to interpret ; but, of course, with the interpretation and the applica tion thereof w;e have nothing to do. It is almost noodlpss to add that the y* r ,et.a is an insect held in great dread by tlie who regard it as much as we do tlie scor pion.”

A Shilling and a Nir.—ln the event p.f not being able to be charitable your self, put it on a neighbor’s shoulders. At Wairoa lately this was well exemplified, if a story in‘a certain paper is to be believed. A certain tradesman in the timber fine had been' playing pool .911 the Saturday evening, and when the .collection was made in the phnr.ch on the following day found he had no money, but the 1G marble in his pocket. With admirable presence of mind he dropped that marble on the plate, saying, sotto voce, to the elder, “ That marble belongs to at the hotel, and as his set will be spoilt without it,"he will give ypq g trifle for it.” Next day the elder collected U. and a ££ nip.”

RESIDENT MAGISTRATES COURT

■&. ; TUESDAY.'-' •. '

Before, Mr, Frank Guinness, R.m.

Gates v. Bullock & Co,

Action to recover for detention of certain pictures belonging to plaintiff. Mr. Harris, iii opening the case, stated that the defendants had paid'certain money for Mr. Gates, in consideration of which they were to hold the pictures as security on the express understand ing that Mr. Gates should be at liberty to remove them whenever he could find purchasers for them, a proportion of the purchase,.money .to be -paid to defen dants in reduction pf their, debt. After this arrangement had been come to the defendants sued Mr. Gates in the R.M. Court for the whole amount of their claim, and put in an execution into his premises and at the same time refused to hand over any of the pictures. Evi dence of the facts was given when it was shown that the parties had entered into a written agreement by which the plain tiff was to pay off the debt by instal ment's which agreement had been faith fully carried out by him,? but the defen dants, on being pressed to hand over the pictures, refused to do so, and put a bailiff into Mr. Gates’ shop. ! Air. Ireland, for defendants, con tended that they had a right of lien on the pictures until the debt was paid off. Mr. Harris argued that the subsequent action of the defendants in obtaining judgment and issuing execution on Other good? the. ulaintiff amounted

to a waiver of their right of lien. His Worship in giving judgment, stated that although the plaintiff may have suffered a great hardship through not getting the pictures the question of 1?0.V was whe ther the right of lien still existed or wns waived by the subsequent proceedings taken by the defendants, and his opinion was that the lien was still in force, and he must therefore nonsuit the plaintiff.

PASTOR CHINIQUY.

(From the Hob'arton Mercury, June 27th.) Though the city presented a peace able appearance yesterday-, there was a good deal of quiet excitement concern hag the Chiniquy disturbances, and public feeling ran very high. • The violent proceedings of the mob both on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, are looked upon as a disgrace to the city, and there is a very general feeling, greatly intensified since -Wednesday, that prompt and vigorous measures are necessary if tranquillity is to be restored and law- and order maintained. ' No less strong is the feeling,that the Super intendent of Police has shown his in capability of fulfilling the duties devol ving upon him. Had he taken a firm stand on Tuesday, night the tumult then would have been dispelled, and the sub sequent action of the Catholic mob discountenanced, as violence so heartily is by the respectable portion of that community, and have be.en more decorous , and peaceable. We have all through these proceedings carefully guarded ourselves against expressing any opinion on the theological aspect of the question; that is foreign to our duties. But we have no hesitation, despite the- misrepresentations and almost threats of certain supporters o the violent opposition to Pastor Chini quy, in urging more moderate conduct on their part, and their discountenancing anything that must lead to a determined stand against the mob law, which has been triumphant this week, Every re flecting Catholic wfll cordially endorse whatever legitimate action the authorities may take to stamp such lawless proceed ings out. The course is in consonance with the opinions and feelings of every intelligent and thinking man in the community,. of whatever:sect or deno mination; ; and also we are glad to notice, meets with, sympathy from our. northern contemporaries. The law must be obeyed; and its infraction must bring down just punishment on the heads of the offenders. The municipal authorities haye so far shown themselves incapable of grappling with the difficulty. The Mayor has been placed in an awk ward position. The City Council at first trusted probably to the disturbance blowing over, and were unwilling to think that the lives and property of the citizens would be imperilled. The prompt action taken by the Govern ment yesterday will, we' feel sure, meet with general approval. There was no hesitation orr their part-—no attempt tp shirk their responsibilities. They at once saw their need for action, and were prepared to take it if necessary. Mr. inspector Swan was pqnsujted, apd ex pressed his willingness to assume the command of a force, to keep order, 5 and allow the meetings to be held, if he was called upon—and the municipal autho rities declined. But the City Council have decided to do now, without the assistance qf the Government, what they ought to have done-at first.ln another column the Mayor invites all persons wishing to serve as special constables to present themselves at the Town Hall to-day, between 9 a.m, and 2 p.m. This is a step that ought to have been taken on Wednesday ; and, had it been so, the disorder of that night would have been quelled, and the dignity of law and liberty of speech up held. Whether .the hall shall in future be let for religious meetings is an out side question at present; and if the Catholic petition, which we understand is tp be presented to the' Mayor to-day, simply request? tlie City Council to : take fhe matter inLq qo.nsideratiqn for future guidance, it shaljhave our .cordial, support. But at the present juncture it is imperative that the right to use the hall for the purpose for which it was hired, without let. or. hindrance. on the part of any section of the community, must be~ resolutely, upheld. Pastor ! Chiniquy is announced tq lecture in the hall to-night, and the arrangements to keep order ap.d prevent lawlessness should be successful. .That attained Pastor Chiniquy’s friends will do well to allow their future, meetings to be held in the Protestant Churches. . A meeting of TOT nn Catholics is to be held in the Domain at six o’clock t'TS evening, but for what purpose is not stated though an invasion qf, the Town Hall is said to 6e contemplated, We hope not, and - that we‘ have seen, the last o f this disgraceful affair. Had there' been any doubt on the subject it should be set at rest by tjie. pastoral, or letter, by ’tJjie Bishop, tp the Catholics of Hobartorg which appears in pur special advertising columns, His Lordship appeals to those over whom he is set to have the good sense to abstain from the attempts of the last few days, and to absent themselves from the precincts of the Tqwn Pfal} phis evening. It will be seen from .the letter of pur LaqncgSr ton correspondent thaf the efforts qf Dean Butler and Father Gleeson were able to maintain that absence of inter ference which was so creditable to the Catholics of Launceston, and we shall have much misapprehended the loyalty of the Catholics of Hobarton to their church if they refuse to the public I 'utter-, ance of thgir Bishop that deference and : respect whi,ch the Catholics of Launces ton paid to fheir pegn and clergyman.
