• LETTER fbom me beoham. - -' A letter was read from Mr Broham, re specting a number of persons whose names had been taken by Constable Kinsella for trespassing through the Barrack-ground, who if proceeded against would most likely plead ignorance of the by-law relating thereto, and whether it would be expedient in tauiing such proceedings.

PARLIAMENTARY.

[By Telegraph.]

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

WELLINGTON.

This day. A caucus of those who supported the Pro vincial Loans Bill was held to-day* at eleven in Mr McLean's room. Thirty-seven were pre sent. Mr Fox was moved to the chair. He introduced the business in a few words, and called on Mr Vogel to make a statement. Mr Vogel made a statement review ing the history of the circumstances leading up to the present crisis The Government on a pervious occasion had called a meeting of its supporters to hear the views as to what the Government proposed. The Government now had no wish to retract from any proposals provided they are assured of their strength being sufficient to carry the measures; that is, if supported by the majority of the House. He would not entertain any proposal for swamping the Council ; but should be prepared to borrow money themselves, provided the property tax was sanctioned to provide interest. However, so large a measure as that of levying a new form of taxation was one requiring time for careful preparation. The only thing they could do, if it accord with the mind of the meeting, was to adopt the measure of some other colony, but that might not be suitable to our circumstances. Ihe attitude taken up by the Upper House clearly showed the necessity of some reform in the Constitution, and the Government would be prepared to bring down a measure next session with that object. Another course was open—namely, to prorogue and call another session, but the Government did not think that would mend matters, their opinion being that the Council would not sanction any measure for borrowing for provincial works this session.

Some discussion ensued, some wishing a prorogation, others urging that there was no necessity for the works contemplated, most Wellington members being absent in anger. Mr Pearce proposed that the Government should bring down a measure providing money for Wellington to carry on necessary works. This was at once rejected. _; Mr Macandrew proposed a resolution, which, after being greatly altered, was ul timately carried. The preamble referred to the Council having got their backs up, etc. This preamble and other severe things were elided, and Messrs Ormand and Fox princi pally licked the motion into presentable shape. It was carried unanimously on the motion of Mr Macandrew, seconded by Mr Ormond, that the present session of parliament should be brought to a close as speedily as possible, that the Government be requested to prepare during recess for the consideration of Parlia ment next session; a measure having for its object the placing of the constitutional re lations of the two branches of the legislature on a more satisfactory footing. This being unanimously carried the meet ing separated on the understanding that the prorogation takes place on Thursday, if pos sible—that is if no further difficulty is ex perienced from the Upper House with refer ence to the Government Bills now passing.

I understand there is intense disgust among the Wellington members, Mr Fitz herbert especially being ropeable. So the whole thing has ended in smoke.

THE LATEST.

Government Buildings, 3.30 p.m.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

In his statement to-day Mr Vogel said the victory remains with Council, and must remain so till next session. They have succeeded in obstructing the most necessary works and the country must know that this was done not by the representatives but nominees. He hoped the country would speak out on the subject, and especially Provincial Councils, to strengthen the hands of the Government. It is the House that is insultod, not the Govern ment. Sooner or later the representatives of the people must conquer. Members should see their constituents and consult them on the two questions. First, whether or not these works should be undertaken in the manner most accordant with the policy of the|co_ntry. Second, whether the Government is to re main in the hands of a nominees. He dis claimed the charge of lukewarmness on the part of the Government. He had done every thing possible. After Mr Vogel sat down Mr Harrison gave notice of motion requesting the Govern ment to bring down a measure for recon structing the Upper House.

IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION.

A meeting of the members of the Improve ment Commission was held this afbernoon. Present: MessrsjPhilips, (chairman) Fenton, Heale, and Macready. The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting, -which were confirmed.

APPLICATION,

An application was read from Mr William Bacon, known is "the godfather of Bacon's Alley," asking for compensation to the amount of £1,600 for the loss of licence of the Odd Fellows' Arms and land, the appli cant contending that this was a small sum when compared with his extensive loss. The application waß allowed to stand over for future consideration.

Sergeant-Major Haslem applied for the continued occupation of the house in which he resides, free of rent, as he has charge of the Drill-shed, owing to its convenient position in connection with the Volunteers. After some discussion upon u tke matter it W«i resolved that. Mr Haslem's application could not at present be entertained. CRICKET CLUB. An application from Mr Garland was rend, thanking the committee for the action they had taken in reference to a piece of land for the use of the slub, and hoping that the same would be reserved to the club. Mr Heale suggested that if the application were granted it vould be in accordance with certain regulations to be agreed upon at a future sitting, which suggestion was approved of. ACCOUNTS. . A number of iccounts were read. Mr Heale proposed, and Mr Fenton peoonded, '"' That these accounts be respec tively submitted to the various committees, for settlement. Carried

WANTED KNOWN, that MISS PENNAL has much pleasure in in troducing to the public of Auckland the Most Useful Lock-stitch Sewing Machine ever yet imported : PRINCESS OF WALES. This admirable Machine is the most perfect Lock stitch Machine yet invented. It is so simple that the most inexperienced can operate it without any previous instruction, while it is incapable of derange ment by ordinary use. The range of application is practically unlimited : anything that can be worn or require stitching in a house can be executed on this Machine. The tension rarely requires regulating. ! From muslin to dressed calico, woollen cloth, or even leather may be sewn without change of needle or cotton, or alteration of tension. The work is easily guided by one hand, while the other is employed in turning it. When fixed on a stand it can be operated by hand or foot at pleasure, and it is then as efficient as the most costly treadle machine. Besides all kinds of domestic use, it can be applied to many varieties of manufacturing use, such as dress-making, mantle making, stay-making, and tailoring. ENGLAND'S QUEEN. This remarkable Machine presents some entirely new features never before realised in a Sewing Machine, and making it more extensively useful and more varied in its application than any other Sewing Machine whatever, whether hand or treadle. In its ■ application to plain sewing of every kind it exactly resembles the Princess of Wales, but it it can be instantly changed without stopping the Machine to herring-bone stitching and to overseaming. This is effected by simply turning a screw; and the width and length of the stitch are regulated at pleasure. The arrangement permits of the overseaming or herring-boning of any fabric whatever, and will be found of immense value in the manufacture of children's clothing and in ornamental work. H seuns where elasticity is required the stitch of this Machine is superior to every existing Machine. It is important to observe that all these advantages are obtained with the most perfect simplicity of construg, tion. _t_rNote the address :-MISS PENNAL, Dress Mantle-maker, and Machinist, West End House, Wakefield street.
