MAORI PRISONERS BILL. The debate on the second reading of the Maori Prisoners Bill was resumed by Mr. Montgomery, who spoke against the measure.

: Mr. Bowen contended that the prisoners had not been merely arrested for trespass, but because the country was in a state of war. All technicalities ought to be dis pensed with, and the question faced as one of detention in consequence of war, or of the threatened outbreak of war. The measure was one which should not be dealt with as a party question, but treated ap an exigency aiising out of the preserva tion of peace. Mj. Ballance disputed the idea that a disturbance would be created if these men were liberated, considering that war was more likely to result from their, unjust detention than otherwise. Te " Whiti was mainly responsible for the trespass, and it was. he who should be punished. He (Mr Ballance) criticised the Native Commis sion report, and showed that the recom mendations contained in the report were not at all proportionate with’the promises and professions made -re confiscations by successive Governments. He charged the Government of 1869 and 1870 with , being responsible for the present position of affairs on the West Coast. He professed no •- sympathy with the native prisoners. He desired to know, how long they were to be detained in prison.. He could not' accept the respon sibility of refusing to vote for the measure, still he wanted it to be understood that he did so because Government had assured them it was absolutely necessary for the preservation of the peace. Mr. Gisborne said the principle of the Bill was not postponement of the trial, but an abolition of the trial altogether. It was not, as had been asserted, a trivial offence the natives stood charged with ; it was riot, if not treason, and as such, would be smartly dealt with by a Court of law. He objected to the power proposed to he given to the Government of saying whether or, not the prisoners, when liberated, had violated the conditions of liberation, and contended that this should rest solely in a Court of law. He main tained that provisions should be made in the Bill for bringing the prisoners to trial, otherwise it would encourage the belief that Te Whiti had been instrumental towards their liberation. He, too, would not oppose the Bill, but relied solely on the representation of the Government. Mr. Hall said Government was anxious to allow the prisoners that freedom as soon as possible, and they would be liberated the moment that could be done with safety. The powers sought for by the Government would be Carefully and con stitutionally exercised.. It was absurd to describe the natives as an oppressed people. All the oppression to which they were subject came from their professed but false friends. The condition of affairs was exceptional, so much so that no law in existence could meet them. That was ■the reason they had to ask the House for exceptional legislation. Mr. Brown spoke in opposition to the Bill, and the debate was interrupted by the 5.30 adjournment.

(From, our own Correspondent.)

[By Telegram.]

Wellington, July 19. The Maori Prisoners Bill is still under discussion. Its fate is not doubtful, as those members of the Opposition who feel the responsibilities of their own actions wbuld take care not to vote it out, what ever they may say against it. The West Coast report is getting some bitter criti cisms, and Mr. Fox evidently sees that he spoke too early in the debate. Mr. Sheehan has given notice to take it into consideration early next month. He knows the advantage of putting on a bold face to what he must meet.

THE STORY-TELLER.

THE MAN AND THE MONKEY.

[ Continued . ]

I was on duty, and didn’t want to quarrel. “ Come,” said I. laughing, and eying his portly person, cf we won’t dis pute which baboons are biggest, or which donkeys. I grant it. There is one spe cies, of apes on the Rock which is con siderably larger than the common sort, ' and which, therefore, may . perhaps be properly called baboons. Well, in pass ing along on that perilous path, one of these baboons met you. It was an inter esting meeting to both parties, and a singular adventure. Now please to tell me all particulars^” The Captain, somewhat toned down by the idea of telling, began to liarate. For some distance he made his way along the path with no obstruction, save only the want of additional space. One arm brushed against a perpendicular wall of lofty rocks, the other hung free over the abyss. He owned he didn’t like it; but his coolness and determination, not to mention the impossibility of turning back, carried him forward. Just as he had got round a projecting ridge, which, once passed, return was hopeless, what do you ■ think he saw in the path before him ? An enormous baboon ! yes, sir, not an ape, a baboon. What was to be done ? He could not go hack, and the baboon would not. Passing was impossible. There they stood fer some seconds, each looking daggers at the other. It was a question of life and death ! Presently the baboon . began to grin—grinned mechanically— raised himself erect on his hind legs and grinned again, advanced a few steps, and gave another grin ! The Captain could easily have pitched the beast over the ledge, but in so doing, might he not have lost his balance, and gone over him ' self? At this moment a bright idea occurred to the Captain’s mind, he made a slight movement downwards with his hand, hoping that the beast would do as goats do under similar circumstances — i. e., lie down upon, the path, in order ; that he, the Captain, might walk over } him. The baboon took no notice. What remained 1 Only that as the baboon would not, the Captain must. Accord ingly, (this part of the adventure the Cap tain narrated with a considerable amount of self-vindication), the Captain laid him self along at full length, and the baboon walked over him. So they parted ; each went his own way; and the Captain - embraced the earliest opportunity of transferring himself from the face of the

precipice to the summit, where I had the honor of landing him in the blowzed and colliquescent condition already described, getting no thanks for my trouble. “ Yery glad to see you safe back again,” said I. “Had you missed your footing, the result must —” Here our conversation was interrupted by a distant bugle. We both knew the note—it sounded for some one escaping to the enemy’s lines. Then followed a cannon-shot from the Queen’s battery, then a dropping fire of musketry. In order to see what was in the wind, we made the best of our way back to the Rock Guard, whence there was a clear view, the whole of the “Neutral Ground,” or space between the enemies line and our own, lying spread almost beneath our feet. At first nothing was visible, save the occasional striking of our shot, as they knocked up the sand. Presently, however, we distinguished a little speck,, which was evidently making the best of its way to the hostile lines. Our glasses were promptly in requisi tion. The party escaping was at once brought near to the Captain’s eye as well as to mine. The fugitive ran well. No wonder ; he ran for his life. Presently, heedless of the fire, he paused, coolly faced round, laid one hand on his heart, and with the other took off his hat and made a profound semi-circle obeisance to the garrison. He then skipped down into the enemy’s'trenches, and was lost to our view.

But not till he had been recognized both by the Captain and myself. “ That little wretch of a Frenchman ! ” exclaimed the Captain.

The ludicrous reality broke at once upon my mind. “ The baboon ! ” I replied. Captain Schnaub turned on me like a tiger. I don’t want to hurt the Captain’s feelings, but, the whole thing was so unutterably comical, laughter was irre pressible. So I laughed heartily, there was no helping it. The Captain’s rage knew no bounds. It was too clear. “The little wretch,” had again been too much for him, had disguised himself, had taken the path at the back of the Rock, had there met the captain, and had gat off, undetected and unsuspected. The Captain, to hide his wrath, and mortification, was again disposed to quarrel. Perceiving, however, that I continued far less inclined to wrangle than to laugh, he gradually toned down and turned sulky. Savage, that the “ little wretch ” had.got off, what chiefly stung him. was one particular incident. • After some minutes gloomy silence it at length came out. ‘‘ To think that I was his bridge, and tliat he actually walked over me from end to end ! ” [to be continued.]

Holloway’s Pills. —The extraordinary range of temperature prevailing in our climate is extremely t lying to ilie delicate-chested, the weak and nervous. All troubled by these afflictions should resolve to resort to the strengthening and regulating medicine immedi ately they perceive in themselves discomfort of that feeling of restlessness which betokens dis ordered digestion and defective secretion or bile. One of Holloway’s Pills taken about noon and followed at bed-time by a dose suffi ciently large to act apperientiy will speedily recruit the faulty functions, and restore order throughout the whole system. A treatment so safe in operation and so successful in result should be known and practised when, from cold and sundry other causes, disease is at tempting to gain a vexatious footing.—Advt.
