Wright, had been the moving spring in the matter. Mr. Harrison —Question. Mr. Ivess—l have it on the best autho rity. The Mayor—l wrote first to Mr. Wright about it. Mr. Ivess still held to his words, and after some further discussion, and a passage-at-arms between Mr. Harrison and Mr. Ivess,' the motion , was passed. The Mayor replied in a few words, de precating the attacks that had been made upon him by Mr. Ivess on the first ap pearance of that gentleman at the Coun cil.

ENGINEERS* REPORT.

Water Supply. —The quantity of water in the reservoir is steadily ir creasing. We have taken advantage of the late freshes in the river to admit as much of the muddy water as. the supply channels will carry, in order to obtain as much silt as possible to stop, the percolation in the bottom of the gully.' There is now a height of B*4 inches' at the reservoir above the delivery in Cameron. street, the height of the overflow being about 5 inches above the pre sent level. It is to be hoped and expected that a smaller quantity of water than is now running in the supply channels will soon be fourfd to keep the reservoir full, as the volume we have found necessary to pour in to exceed the amount absorbed in the shingly bottom is larger than the channels ought to carry; they therefore require' constant inspection and occasional strengthening. The upper part of the gully, where the water has been running longest, hows there is now comparatively little absorp ion, it is .therefore to be concluded that in a f ew weeks the lower part or reservoir will have become sufficiently watertight to render a third of the present head supply equal to keeping the reservoir at a proper level. The late freshes in the river have silted up the mouth on two occasions. On the first the supply was stopped, but- on the second we were in . time, by scooping, to keep the channel open. At this season of the year the mouth of the mill race will require to be con stantly watched and re-opened. . On Friday last we mnde a trial of the work with respect to the delivery and levels of the channels. Then there was only a head of three and a half inches, but the result was quite satisfactory, both as to the flow of the water and tmeness of the work. We would here venture to urge the continuation of the concrete channelling in the side streets as early as practicable, as some of the side channels are in a filthy state. As there is now plenty of water, we intend to try duriug the week what can be done with re spect to them. 7 he Labor Gang have been employed in completing the formation of Burnett street west, putting lamp-post at South and East streets, and guard posts at the corners of. the principal streets, claying and shingling carriers’ stand, also at works connected with the water supply, and have commenced the cutting as directed in the gully crossing Grey street. Ac cording to your instructions three of the hands have been discharged. About eighty yards of fine shingle are required in East street foot paths, and three hundred and fifty yards for Burnett street west extension. As directed, by lhe Works Committee, arrangements have been made with Ibell for the supply as and when re quired, at is. 3d. per yard. ■ Mr. St. Hill moved that the first clause of the report .be referred to the Works Committee, as he had a motion to move on the matter. Mr. Ivess called the Mayor to a point of order. The report had not been received. It was customary to have it received before it was considered. He would move the report be received. ■ 'The motion was not seconded, and the consideration of the report went on. Mr.- St. Hill’s motion was carried, and the remaining clauses of the report were adopted. The contract of Sullivan, the tussock clearer, was then taken into considera tion, and the Engineer explained that the man was under a misapprehension as to the “ letting” of the reserves. The heavy work had been done, and Sullivan was under the belief that he was to be deprived of the lighter work. It was-ultimately decided that Sullivan he written to to carry out his original contract, and if he desired, he could bave more reserves at the same price. TIMBER.

The Akaroa Town Clerk wrote, offering

for sale 5,000 feet of totara heart timber, suitable for footway kerbing. The letter was received.

gjMr. St. Hill moved and Mr. Harrison teconded—That the kerbing and chan i: elling of the three streets to which the Council's attention had been called by the f eputation that night be decided on, and »nd tenders called for at once. Another point of order was raised here >y Mr. Ivoss, who interrupted the Mayor when his Worship was asking a question as to the cost of the work.

Mr. Ivess having been aat upon, the

Engineer gave an estimate of the cost of the work, and it was ultimately decided to invite tenders for kerbing and channelling Peter street to the East Belt, and part of Wills street, and also for material—ten ders to be in by ten o’clock on the 28th, and to be opened by the Works Com mittee.

Mr. Ivess took occasion, now-that the Engineer was present, to ask how the Engineer was paid for his work on the drainage and water supply. He was in formed that Mr. Fooks was paid a per centage op ]\\§ from the water supply fund.

THE inauguration of the waterworks. The Mayor announced that on Monday next, at twelve o’clock noon, the cere mony of inaugurating the waterworks . would take place, and a banquet would be given in the afternoon, to which he in vited the members. COMMITTEES. ' Messrs. Roberts and St. Hill were re appointed on the Committees of which they were previously members, and Mr. Ivess took those Committeeships held by Mr. Orr. RESERVES. On the motion of Mr. Williamson it was resolved—That this Council let by public tender any reserves applied for, always provided that the price be not less than a reserve fixed by the Council. The Council at a late hour went into Committee on this subject, a motion to that effect having been passed.

. Holloway’s Pills.— At ihe change of seasons many persons feel oppressed without knowing why they are so—they arc aware something within them is wrong, though ihey cannot detect the defected organ. A few doses of these powerfully purifying and eminently cooling Pills will restore regularity to every part of the system —will cast out all impuvi.ies lurking in the frame, and will Ihroroughly expel the last traces of disorder, however obscure its cause. With Holloway’s medicine belief is insured without risk : erroneous action is rectified without disturbing natural regularity, health is re-mstated, and with it return the cheerful feelings which unmistakably tell the invalid that all within is right again.

Yesterday was a pouring wet day, and the jurors not em panelled along with the witnesses were obliged to crouch outside the building for shelter. There was no room inside. The jury marched down the street to an empty house to consider their verdict. Native Affairs. Wellington, Sept. 20.

THE STORY-TELLER.

THE DISRUPTION: A TALE OP TRYING TIMES.

CHAPTER XXlll— continued.

“Why should either of you,” said the student, insist on laying me under obligations which I do not ask for ? ” “Ye need help, Jimes,” replied his aunt; “ye need help to get decently through the college, and what for should ye refuse’t when it’s freely offered to ye ? ” “ I cannot accept it, aunt, and feel myself as free as I do at present. I will not forgo the liberty to act accord ing to my convictions, for the sake of any other advantage.” “ I wish to help you,” said Stiffriggs, “just for that very reason. If I didna think you a conscientious lad, I wad rather pay fifty pounds to keep you back frae the ministry than lay oot a brown bawbee to help you on.” _ “ Yoq have my best thanks for your kindness, but I beg you will allow me to decline the favor you intend, and not take offence at my refusal, for I assure you I am not in need of assist ance.”

“ Now, Jimes,” said Mrs. Renshaw, “ that must be nonsense. Ye have naething to keep you that I can hear o’, except what ye get frae that daft man, Mr. Dirty Bacon; and that’s but a sma’ matter. Besides, ye canna get justice dune to your learnin’ when ye have to spend sae much time wi’ him.”

“You know, aunt, the understand ing we parted on at Whinnyside. For the sake of being free to follow a course of which you did not approve, I renounced my dependence on you, and made up my mind never more to be burdensome to you or any other friend, as long as Providence should vouchsafe to me health and strength to earn a living for myself.” “ But what is to. come o’ your learn ipt’j though ? ” said the lady, pertinaci

ously bent on being kind. “ My learning may go to the dogs if I cannot use it without sinking my independence.” “ Hear him noo, hear him ! It’ll never do for your learnin’ to be lost, and ye needna boggle at taking the help that’s offered to ye, for ye see Mr. Stimperton thinks your way is the richt way, and I’m sure I’ll never try to drive you aff’t again. No but that I think ye’re wrang, after a’; and no but I would rather see ye a parish minister than onything else ; but if ye’ll no be’t, just be what ye like, and tak’ the siller withoot mail- ado.”

“No, not a penny will I take on that score, Mr. Stimperton. I already owe to my aunt much more than I can clear by doing a service for her that any honest person would have done in my place.”

“ Trowth it’s the like o’ you they should ca’ Stiffriggs, my man,” said Stiffriggs, “ for ye’r stiffer in the birse than me a hantle. But if ye’ll no tak’ a present o’ the siller, ye may tak’ the lend o’t shurely, and pay’t back whenever it answers ye.” After some further discussion, Mr. Duncanson was prevailed on to accept of the money on this footing; and honest Stiffriggs, when he had t succeeded in effecting his arrangement, shook the student and Mrs. Renshaw heartily by the hand, as if he had received rather than conferred a favor.

As he shook hands with the lady, however, he could not resist the temp tation of whispering into her ear—“Od, mistress, I ne’er saw onybody mair the better o’ ought than ye’ve been o’ yon flee-water.”

CHAPTER XXIV. Old Edma’s heart beats high. Youthful vigour lights her eye, And her welcome fills the sky. Welcome to Victoria! R. L. MALONE. Robin Afleck allowed none of the absurdity of Mr. Bacon’s message to Miss Stimperton to be lost in the delivery. Ye are to be ready,” said he, “to gang wi’ him to the Queen’s show at Dalkeith, on Monday at eleven o’clock, and ye’re to be dressed in a long trailing gown and to have naething on your head but a bunch o’ peacock’s feathers.” “ Saft Shusie ” heard these directions with perfect composure, and was not even startled by the peacock’s feathers; but her brother listened with surprise and not a little indignation. “ What nonsense is this, Robin ? ” he inquired in an angry tone. “ Ou, nae nonsense ava, Mr. Stim pevton; only Miss Shusie, ye see, is gaun wi’ Mr. Bacon to see the Queen, and I’m just lettin’ her ken the kind o’ style he wants her to appear in.” “ Trowth, Shusie shall gang nae sic gate, wi’ my consent at least, wi’ a daft man like this Mr. Bacon.”

“ Fegs, sir, she maun though, for she has promised already, and Mr. Bacon canna gang withoot her ; he’s nae mair daft than me after a’, but only a wee thocht droll in his way.” “ Daft or no daft, he’s ne’er get a sister o’ mine to carry oot his capers wi’, if I can help it. And, Shusie, I think the least ye conld ha’e dune was to speak to me on the subject before ye entered intil sic a ploy.” Shusie made no reply to this rebuke but by a few tears, which might be either expressive of regret for having acted so foolishly, or of vexation at the prospect of being prevented from gratifying almost the only strong wish she had —the desire to witness the pageantry and splendors of the royal court. Mrs. Renshaw interceded for her, or rather for herself, for she had a purpose to serve in the matter. She had not given up her project of send ing homely presents to the Queen which were before alluded to, and hoped to get Mr. Bacon to take charge of them. It must be confessed that the idea was a good one, for such a charge was certainly, very appropriate to the man, both being somewhat un common. It was to be feared, howr ever, that the prevention of Miss Stim perton from accompanying him would prove a serious obstacle. Mr. Bacon, in that case, might not go at all to the Drawing-Room, or, if he did, would not be likely to undertake the presen tation of Mrs. Renshaw’s oat cakes and jam. She therefore plead strongly that Miss Shusie might be allowed to go ; but Stiffrigs was inexorable. Robin Afleck was completely taken aback by this unexpected turn of affairs. With a disappointed expres sion of countenance, he called Mr. Duncanson aside to request him to use his influence with Stiffriggs to relax his opposition to his sister’s intended dis play with Mr. Bacon. But the student refused, point-blank, to undertake the task. “ I cannot,” said he, “advise Mr. Stimperton to permit anything of the kind. And you know, Robert —” “ Mr. Afleck, if you please.” “ Well, Mr. Afleck, you are aware I have always set my face against this foolery. 1 don’t wish to see Mr. Bacon make himself ridiculous, and far less can I consent to have a hand in leading any simple young woman like Miss Stimperton to take part in his absurd ities. ”

“if it be sae daft like as ye seem to think for folk to gang to the Queen’s Drawing-Room, I dinna see but Mr. Bacon and Miss Stimperton have just as gude a richt to get making fules o’ themsel’s as ony o’ the gentlemen and ladies that’s to be there. And mair than that, sir, if Mr. Bacon be disap pointed in this business, I’m dootious ye may loss your place as bis secretary, for he’ll be ill pleased in the hale bilin’

o’ us.”
