Many have since expressed regret with I those seeking to improve the Bill. The rest of the clanses were passed. The Education Bill. fin the Question of going into committee on °tne EdSonßi", Mr oVtfn. said he thought that after the general expression^ of • • , «t. +Yip hi" when the second reac -ng ZXZ'tX 'that the 8.1 would hayS been withdrawn. To rekevo the GovemmeM nf the difficulty of withdrawing he would m°Mr hSVosel said that the House was no doubt awafethat the Provincial Powers Bill Sch would almost have superseded the necessity for thatone, had been^hro^a «,,f liv the Upper House. He understood S t^w^thVlecisionof that body that it would not grant general powers, but would nrovide for particular cases as at present. He could not understand what was the object of the opposition to the Bill. It cor!d at lerst do no harm. Mr Bunny thought there wps no necessity for the Bill. I* was nofc tne case tnat there •was any difficulty about rating. The decision of the Supreme Couii was given in favor of the powers of the provinces, both in Wellington and AucFrnd. Mr Shepherd would support the amend ment. He thought that the rating clauses had not been framed by any one who had practical experience. He did not think eny of the provinces would adopt it. Mr McGillivray would support the Bill. Mr Wood said it w?s unjust to accuse the members of treating this Bi'l as a party Bill. No Bill had been so treated. To say merely that a B:'l could do no haim was the worst that could be srid of any measure. It was miscHevous if orly because it stood in the way of the discussion of a more important B?1L Mr O'Conor supported the amendment, ■which, on being put, was negatived by 29 toll. The House then went into comnrttee, and the clauses as far i>s the end of part 7 were passed with some amendments. After a very long discussion, which centred chiefly on religious instruction, it was at length agreed to add a clause to the end, giving power to Provincial Councils when the adoption of part 7 is proposed, to leave out the section refeii^ng to religion in it as the Bill is permissive, and only to come into force on the vote of Provincial Councils, wHch can adopt it in the whole or part, as, it confers no revenue or power not already possessed by Councils, pud has not one point of superiority, and its enactment or rejection is of no value. Mr Gillies tmdothers denounced it asafarce taking up time, and w?s never likely to come in force in any province. The Government were standing by it in order evidently to stop the annual cry for an Education Bi 1!. £1,500 will be placed on the supplementary estimates for trigonometrical surveys. National Bank Bill. In the Legislative Council the National. Bank Bill was read a second time -without discussion. The Auckland Supreme Court Site BiJl was read a second time. The Water Supply B ;11 was referred to a select committee. The Provincial Loans Bill. The draft of the Provincial Loan Act has seen light. The measure is a humbug. It empowers Councils to pass laws rasing loans subject to conditions contained in the Bill that money shall not be raised or interest payable outside of Australia. The colony is not to be liable for the money so borrowed, and this must appear on face of each ordinance issuing deben tures. , Not even Provincial revenues are to be encumbered by charges for loans, which can only be raised on special securi ties, and for a special purpose. The senti ment respecting the measure, especially among North Island members, is disgust. It has stirred the stagnant atmosphere ; so look out for squalls. The discussion of the measure takes place to-morrow evening.

DEAD BODY FOUND IN THE HAR BOUR.

At 3 p.m. to-day the Captain of the brig Lalla Rookh saw something floating in the j water under the bows of his vessel, and his suspicions. being aroused by the ap pearance of the object he called to one of the men to see what it was. On ex amination it proved to be the dead body of a . man fully clothed, and in an advanced state of decomposition. The water-police were at once communicated with, and they soon arrived on the spot. Attaching a cord to the body they towed it in the water to the Breakwater, where it was taken ashore and conveyed to the dead-house. At first the rumour ran that the body was that of a man who has -"been missing some days from the barque Southern Belle, but this turns.out to be incorrect as the man in question is in Mount Eden Gaol. Up to the present time the body which is that of very short diminutive man ofmiddle age has^ not been indentified.
