There was an excellent house at the Theatre Royal oiuSaturday night., Tho piece de resistance Toeing " The Serf," fol lowed by the thoroughly good burlesque " The Honeymoon," Miss Joey Gougen heira and Mr. Hayner playing exceedingly well, and were ably supported. Wc ni*e glad to see the popularity that deservedly attends this theatre under the present management ; but were sorry to sec the bad taste shown by Mr.-Towers in his local song. We are sure neither the lessee nor the amiable and popular directress can - approve of cruel personal insults to misfortune, and if Mr. Towers intends to degrade this fine little theatre from the position it has uow;tak"en, we would suggest that his employers should see to it. Playing lo the pit should be left tb elsewhere.

In another column will be ,found the proposals of Mr. Tyndall, vtho, from his dental. surgery, at the top of -Shortland Crescent, and with his •' alexddyne," 'indevt'akes to cure all the ills, that tooth

THE, COLLISION ON THE COAST.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

Br 'the arrival of the Samson in harbour this morning from Waugarei, all doubts as. to the name of the steamer which came into collision with the ketch Enterprise on Satur day night are set at rest; and it is evident that it was the Tauranga, bound for the Bay of Islands. Captain Mundle states that, at half-past eleven on that night, or an hour before the collision, he saw tho Tauranga near the place indicated, and, being outside the Samson, she must have been in tho course taken by the Enterprise. As the Tauranga is due tomoirjw morning we trust that-nothing very serious will be found to have occurred to l.er. It might be that the necessity for re pairs may delay the Tauranga, so that her non-appearance at the appointed time need give no grounds for alarm.

DEATH BY DROWNING.

THIS DAY.

Information was brought to Con.tablo Cai> rigan, of the Water Police, about nine o'clock .his morning, by a man named Courtney,, a -eaman belonging. to the cutter Four Sisters, thnt a dead body was lying in'the intake ..on the breakwater'-r^ud. Carrigan at once pro ceeded to the spot where he found the body as described, lying in the water, which was at that time pretty high, the tide being well up; The body, on being brought to land; was found to be that of a man apparently about forty years of age, of very respectable appearance, but a stranger to Auckland, as far "as Carri gm k-ows. The following description lias been supplied to us: height fire feet nine inches, dark hair and whiskers, dressed in dark tweed coat, and light tweed trousers, and with watertight boots upon tiie feet. No thing whatever was. found in the pockets ex cept a pocket-knife. During the last few days enquiries have regularly been made at the Polico Office concerning a man who has been musing, and it is supposed that the deceased may possibly be the person enquired after. The body presented the appearance of having been in the water fjr sonic six hours, so that it would appear -that deceased must have fallen in the intake about three o'clock. What could have, brought him down to this deserted spot at such an hour it is hard, to say, but the mystery will probably be cleared up .at the inquest which is to be held at the Railway Terminus Hotel, at two o'clock to-morrow afternoon. The body has been removed to tho dead-house to await the inquest. THE BODY IDENTIFIED. Since the above was iv type tho body has been identified as that of John Holmes, who came last trip of the Wonga Wonga, from San Francisco, and with hjs wife and two child ren has since been living in Napier-street. He has been greatly depressed, owing to losses in California, aud has been missing from his home since Sunday evening at 7 o'clock.

_^R_ONAL:: A iTACX. The burler-que produced last night at the Prince of Wales' Theatre is of such a character as happily is not often presented in this city. Fejble in itself; performed 'without spirit; some of the actors reading their parts, most of the others stumbling through theirs, the thing was in execrable taste. No one with true manliness attacks a man when he is down ; aiid a theatrical performance, deliberately conceived and presented to insult iv tho hour of misfortunej a gentleman who has for years occuiiiecl the position of one of the most re spected merchants and useful citizens of Auck land, can only be regarded as worthy of the character which the Prince of Wrdes has lat terly assumed. We have no doubt that that theatre in burlesquing insolvency has clear accounts with all mankind, printers to wit ; and never droarus of "My dear sir, just hold over that 1 ttle bill for a day or two." But it is changed from other days when what should be the leading theatre in Auckland resorts to outrage on public feeling and public decency to tickle the cars of the groundlings and dra-F a full pit. The gentleman referred to is now down, and it was too consonant with poor human nature to neglect to kick him. In creditors annoyed by losses itwas pardonable, though, to th-ir hohoi* be it said, the feeling of irritation has largely passed away $ but even the. Church must join its witherin-» de nunciations to the chorus of " away with lnn_.'' and we| are credibly informed that a parson whose mendicancy had often preyed on this gentleman's benefactions, prosti tuted his pulpit by pandering" to1 'the passions' of a parishioner in a sei-mon of special and pointed attaok. This it is that gives the sheer to infidelity and makes religion a bye-word; and after this wo can hardly wonder at a theatre turning religion into biirl-sque, and giving the point to humbug' with ".Let us engage in prayer." These attacks^ however, believe, have created a sympathy f6if this* gohtleman * which 'porhapl simple thisfoHune wJuld not have siifficed to produce I and wo have no hesitation iv assert ing that .with every one of right feeling in this city he enjoys as sincere respect as ever he did in his palmiest days. His misfortunes have been such as are, usual with insolvents, j His losses have been' those which it was not in the power of man to overcome; and although with that shrinking from insolvency Which is not dishonorable, he struggled so long as to have more deeply involved his estate, he does bear, as he has over borne in this city, the character of an honorable and upright man. The feeble burlesquing of a theatre, and the pro«titutipn of the pulpit, are equally- con temptible j and there is too much manliness among our merchants and citizens to sympa thise with either.

CONCLUSION OF THE FINANCIAL DEBATE.

IMMIGRATION AND ROADS IN THE NORTH TO BE PROCEEDED, WITH AT ONCE. • %. 'Yd

77 .-■-.. Thursday, Jjily 210, Mb. Db_T-.e, last evening, supported the pro posals ,pj.''the -Government, but insisted on precautions to prevent the money being wasted, and suggested;-with that, view, tho appojnt mentof-aMinistel-of.WorK^ He was strongly ppposed-^td^Proviucial Governments having anything to do with the expenditure; and regretted-that the proposals had not been accompanied by a scheme to remodel the political institutions of the country. What ever good Provincial Governments had done in the past, they were only productive^ harm now. He approved of the construction of railways on guarantee, but was opposedto payment being made in land. -_Te believed, in. conclusion,. that\a, refusal to accept the Im perial guarantee.w-uld greatly raise the .credit pf the colony. ; - Mr. Eyes supported the proposals in their, entirety; He thought it would be a great mistake not to consult the Provincial Govern-, ments in tho,-matter of the expenditure. Mr. Vog'el, in reply, spoke three'- and a half hours. He made an admirable speech, and Was loudly cheered throughout. The first three houra was devoted' to a review of previous speeches, aud to ahswering the argu ments adduced against the proposals. He said that there was. nothing against further borrowing, in the alleged pledge given by tW Commissioners. -,He read a private Jej^fcr from Dr. Featherston, to tly. effect that City men had.urged upon the Commissioners the, acceptance of the Imperial guarantee for the halt" million, saying, that the colony could, upon its own credit, raise at^-low rates any fuitlier sum that might be required for legiti-' mate public undertakings? The colony -had only to ask for money .and receive it; that is if no further change of government took place. Unless war was tj> -be regarded as the normal condition of the colony, it was not living beyond its income. It was a fact that, since 1853, the colony had spent five nine hundred and fifteen thousand pounds sterling, on war and native purposes. With rcgar t to tho proposals of the Goverrfajent, it was not intended, immediately to calfry but all the proposed loan or public works; the bills to be introduced by the Government were simply to supply the macliinery for doing so as it wasffound desirable. He read a letter he had just received from Messrs.Charles Fox and Sons, of London offering to construct on guarantee lines of railway suited to the colony at from £3000 to £4000 per mile. He proceeded to review at game length the roasons for and against appealing to the country before finally proceeding with tho measures. The Government had. dfecidpd to lpodify' their proposals ; and if, after ' waiting a few days, the House was disposed to accept such modifications ministers would go on with the Bills ; but they would not consent to allow them to be torn up and mangled in committee by crude., amendments. They, would rathei*, in shjor*}, withdraw ,the Bills if they would not be accepted in their modi fied form. The modifications proposed were as follows :—To efface the " railway ' schedule—tho Government during the re cess, to obtain all information, legarding proposed railways, leaving "to next -parlia ment to decide upon that information, what lines should be constructed. It was also proposed to reduce the loan from six to four millions to bo apportioned as fol lows :—One million to misceUaneous pur poses i one million to immigration ; and two millions to railways. A separate amount for the purchase of land in the North _ Island was not: necessary, amount previously set down for the pur chase of native lands would* Ibe reduced one-half, say to £100,000 -, and t_e sum for the supply of water to the goldfic-lds be correspondingly increased from £200,000 to £300,000. It wus intended to provide macliinery for keeping- the loan accounts'*'feiv tirely distinct from those of all other moneys; also, to have one central immigration agency in tho United Kingdom, to *** I~gl| the various provincial agencies woulcl bo subordinate. With regard to the proposed alteration in the tariff, members of the,ministry Tyo\ild vote for tlie ,new duties, but.: the I Government would leave this an open question, and would not.object to their rejection this session, believing that the, country,, at,.tho new elec tions, would .signify ,thpir.approval of the proposed alterationsr In deference to the suggestion made by Mr. Travers, he would withdraw,tbe ; prpposed bonus ony thef inppor' tation of Australian wine, and bring down a Bill, instead, legalising their admisiion at a -differential rate of duty. The new loan would bo placed in the market at such a rate as would ensure that purpha_er,s / .vould not receive piore" tliai. simper .cent _ interest. Governm en would consent to excision of Clause 22 of th.f Public Works Bill. They would adhere to the proposed-five ye»rs| loan for c^|lr noses of* dtf fence, ibiit yrp>u!d« -consent, _„; Kb *n/ annual appropriation, so tbat the matter would still remain in the. hands of Parliament. It had .been .asked .;by* 'Mr. Rolleston whether the Government would refuse the Im perial guarantee if the. conditions^ attached to the; -same Were __6h that' the million loan would not fall in with the:,,general sohenie.., In reply, -.the. Government was not yet aware what those conditions .were. If .they .precluded 7tho Colony from further borrowing till the million loan was taken up, ministers, would,in such, case, refuse to accept the guarantee. The commissioners would bo. instractedJto ende.av.qr, to obtaintTie Imperial guarantee at a low rate, for a short period, say 15 ygara^ *fpiv $ie whole four million, instead of, as at, present, a 40 years' gunrantse-forjOnsmilliqiu.. He. believed, indeed, that such ah arrangement would better suit the policy of the, Imperial' Government .: Jn reply to" some remains that h t ii fallen from; Mr. Barff, he would not consent ,tq* make,, the capitation grant applicable only, tp adult^nale^.. To encourage the settlement, of families .and, the marriage .oft youngc^en;,'he, would make the infant born yesterday, as much entitled to a grant as an adult. In reply to a question by Mr. Poacpcke, no portion ofj theildan was _a„ tended for the construction of harbour works. The Goveruta_ht did not approve of t_.al.ing new harbours, and the improvement of existing ones could best be effected.by special Acts

forming local trusts with borrowing powers ft In reply to the remarks of Mr. Hull, no rail^ A way would be made without the special, authority of parliament. The proposal as to land grants wouldrenaii as in thafh mxeia. statement; but the four million loan was not* intended to include any guarantee on any railway parliament might authorise to btf constructed on that system. Mr. Vogcl was loudly cheered nt thr, eon . elusion of his speech, and tho resolution «_,„ agreed to on the voices—only two "noes" being given. ■Mr. Collins had an amendment rearly proposing to limit the expenditure for the current year to the guarautecd million, aud ' to take the voice of the country upon the ■ larger proposals ; but, after the modificatioui had been announced, he did Dot move it. Tifubsdat, July 2 , p.m. Government support tho Bill for the payment of common jurors,, and intend to 'abolish the present exemption of voliuateii's:"'******! Mr. Creighlon moved his resolution ons the 7 land question in* a very moderate v speed}/) / disclaiming all idea of spoliation, but accusing the Middle Island provinces of maladmi__t_^=a^ tion of the land revenue. _ Mr- Armstrong seconded the motion. • 7T_i ]fj Government opposed the 7. discussion. i nj. inopportune, and Mr. Bunny moved tlis previous question.
