PARLIAMENTARY.

[By Telegraph.]

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)

WELLINGTON. This day. TEETOTAL LITERATURE. On the motion of Mr Fox various teetotal letters and docximents were ordered to be laid on the table. GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE OF NEWS PAPERS. Mr Sheehan moved that a return be fur nished showing the sums paid—first, for ad vertising in the various printing offices during the past financial year. He stated that last year a similar return was furnished, showing great unfairness in the distribution of adver tisements, in many cases papers with the largest circulation receiving the smallest share of Government advertising. A remarkable instance could be shown in the province from which he came, to which he would not at present more pointedly refer, but when the return was before him he would bring the matter up in another form. As publicity should be desired in advertising it was only right that papers which could prove to have the largest circulation in the districts should have a fair share. He was aware that these matters were usually left to officers in the depart ment, and that the Government were not aware of the injustice done, and this motion would direct their attention to it. Mr Mac Lean said he believed the state ment of the hon. member was correct, and there would be no objection to furnish the return, which was ordered accordingly. PETITION OF MR. THOMAS HEN DERSON. Mr Williamson moved that the House resolve into committee of the whole to con sider the report of the Public Petition Com mittee on the petition of Thomas Henderson,i with a view to adopting the following resolu tion : —" That the committee doth concur in the report of the Petitions Committee, and do recommend that a humble address be pre sented to the Governor requesting his Ex cellency to make provision on the supple mentary estimates for giving effect to the recommendation of the petition. The recommendation of the committee was that £950 should be granted to Mr Hendersoff by the colony, and that he be permitted to take Crown grants for 5000 acres of land. This was carried unanimously in com mittee, reported to the House, and carried. MR BROGDEN'S PETITION.—A SCENE IN THE HOUSE. Last night a very long and warm debate took place on the question of printing the evidence re Mr Brogden's petition. The committee having brought up an ad verse opinion, with a recommendation that the evidence be not printed, Mr Reynolds objected because it might be used against the Government in a Court of law. Mr Gillies stated that at the commence- ; ment of the sittings the committee saw the case was prejudiced, and urged that the evi dence be printed ; and asua means of com- ; polling this he proceeded taread out evidence in order to have it in Hansard. < Mr Fox drew attention to the fact that there were strangers in the Hou3e, and all the galleries were cleared. The evidence was i then read by Mr Gillies, the most important f being some letters from Dr Featherstone, and evidence by Mr Carruthers, which was directly opposed to the finding of the com- 1 have got the evidence, and can (P^3legraph it in full if desired. The debate . continued. In the absence of the reporters, Mr Gillies got the evidence from the table, and took it up to the committee-room, and proceeded to copy it. The Sergeant-at-Arms was sent iinme diatoly|after him, and brought him and it b*ck to the JJHouse, Nothing daunted AJr

J billies continued in the House and copied I the evidence. [Shall I send you a copy ?— °r m you like T shall 3tea* the original !] The Brogden row succinctly put is this :— ■Dr. Featherstnne and the Hon, J. Hall ad mitted that Mr Brogden had been misled, and tney agreed to certain proposals made o,V Mr Brogden in settlement, the Govern ment taking over the immigrants' promissory I notes, I)r> Featherston had plenipotentiary j power tt> accept such proposals, and he sent ' a tfiapatch to the Government stating that I he had accepted them. Mr Richardson admitted that this despatch was received, and refused to print it, yet in the face of all the com mittee reported that there was neither justice nor equity in the petition of Mr Brogden, and ordered the suppression of the evidence. The whole has apparently arisen from Dr Feather^tone's bungling at first and I the constant changing of immigration re , gulations. j THE GOVERNOR'S SALARY BILL passed without discussion. The Lowry Bay Sale Bill was read a second time after discussion. Messrs. Stafford, Rolleston, Hunter and others expressed the opinion that it was an extremely absurd proceeding on the part of a great colony like New Zealand to mort- I gage a block of land for £2000. Mr Bunny urged that they should come down with a vote of £2000 on the estimates for the purpose. Mr Vogel, in replying, intimated that the Government had no objection to adopt that course, and the Bill was amended to the effect that an advance of £2000 should be made by the Treasury to his Excellency, to be expended on the improvement of the estate, interest at the rate of five per cent to be paid by him. It is further provided that when the interest is no longer paid by the ! present, or any other Governor, then the es- J tate should be sold. The Bill was read a third time and passed. THE GENERAL PURPOSES BILL passed. It provides for a loan of £7"'0,000 and £50,000, distributed as follows :—Re paying interest paid on former loans, : £300,000 ; repaying loan account grants | formerly made to Road Boards, £l">0,000; grants "to Road Boards in 1874, £50,000 ; i grants to Eoad Boards in 1875, £.">O,OOO ; telegraphs, £50,000 ; light-houses, £35,000 ; public buildings, £115.000. IMMIGRATION AND PUBLIC WOEKS LOAN BILL. Mr Vogel, in moving the second reading of this Bill, referred mainly to those provisions for raising £500,000 for the purchase of native lands in the North Island. It was made at the suggestions of the South Island members. It was not in any way a reversal of the compact of 1S;")(5. The money already spent under former authorizations had proved reproduc tions. Mr Rolleston did not wish himself understood as concurring in this proposal as brought down. He had felt that the claims continually urged by the North Island as a off-set against the Middle Island land fund rendered the carrying-out of the general policy of public works and immigration almost im possible, and for this reason alone it was ready to support the settlement of these claims as preparatory to financial separation. They had now this year, as part of the Go vernment policy, the provinces of the North Island borrowing sums altogether out of pro portion to those borrowed by the South on landed security, which every one understood not to be the real security. He referred to the Bills, which are variously described "The Little Pigs" and the " Neglected and Cri minal Children." He would divide the House against the Bill. Mr Thomson thought that if it was intended as an adjustment of claims against the South Island it wanted one essential element—that of iinality. Messrs Evans .and Brown approved of the proposal of the Government purchasing land in the North Island, but thought measures should be taken to make the provinces dis pose of the land at a uniform price. Mr T. B. Gillies supported the Bill. Mr Reid wished to say that while he agreed to the Bill he did not recognise it as any con cession to claims in the North. Sir C. Wilson would be glad to have some acknowledgment from his Northern brethren for this concession, and hoped never to be twitted again with the compact of 185(5. The Bill passed through all stages. It makes provision altogether for a loan of two million. The balance of a million and a-half being for railways, whereof only about nine hundred thousand comes to the North Island. It provides for making a railway from Mercer to Newcastle, and Newcastle and Taupo. RAPID LEGISLATION. The Railway, Regulation of Census, Im migration, and Public Works Bills, minis terial residences, in fact everything brought forward, passed all stages like a shot. It was a nice little evening, increasing the ' colonial debt by three millions at one sitting. Every one was happy—the Ministers genial and pleasant. .THE LITTLE BILLS IN THE LORDS, j In the Lords the seven little "neglected and criminal children" made their bow at the bar, and were received. . j Dr Pollen introduces them to-night, and it I is understood that after his speeches the debate on the second reading will be ad journed till Monday, several members ex pressing a desire to have the sacred Sabbath hours to examine the little pigs, and see what j family resemblance they bear to the departed. { They described them as a bad cross between ' Vogel and the "old sow." THE NATIVE LANDS BILL I evoked warm discussion, but ultimately j passed second reading on division by 21 to 4. j

Government Buildings, 3.30 p.m. This afternoon Mr Brogden's affair was brought forward, and occupied a large share of attention. Mr Vogel said the member for Auckland City West, Mr Gillies, had undertakanto ob tain surreptitious information for a newspaper, constituting himself a reporter. Although some papers were scrupulous, others were not, and would take advantage of any news they conld get. Sir Dillon Bell said lie had' a great objec tion to clearing the galleries. Mr Harrison said that as an M.IT.E. he had large opportunities for gaining informa tion, but he had not availed himself of them. (Conscientious Harrison ! See Holt and Harrison scandal.) Mr Parker gave a case in which the gal leries were cleared in the House of Commons, and next clay a full account of the proceed ings appeared in the Times. Mr J. L. Gillies said he held his constitu ency superior to .the House, and he would exercise his right to tell anything he liked. There is great excitement on the subject. In the Legislative Council all business on the order paper was postponed till they came to the series of Loan Bil's. The House is going to sit to-morrow so as to dispose of this question before anything else is done. The temper of the Council is evidently to kill the little pigs. Dr Pollen has now moved the seooncl read ing o£ the Auckland Bill, as the first of the series.

! Members are all evincing the deepest in terest, and there is quite a state of excite | ment arnongjjthe Lords. With the Brogden case in the Commons, and the Little Pigs in the Lords, politics for the moment are in a very fevered state.

POLICE COURT

THIS DAY. (Before his Worship the Mayor.)

DRUNKENNESS. Margt. McCann, for this offence, was sen tenced to seven, days' imprisonment. Jno. O'Neile, who said it was his first offence, was fined five shillings and costs. Jas. Leo, besides being accused of drunk enness, was charged with assaulting Mary Beatsenby striking her on the face with his clenched fist on the 25th inst. In answer to the first charge prisoner said he was very sorry. He had not been two days on shore, and he hadn't calculated exactly the strength of the Auckland beer. He had always been accustomed to take three pints down South without getting drunk. He had tried it here with the result of iiriding himself in the lock-up He would take care he wasn't taken in so again. He could see now that it wasn't safe to take more than two pints of Auckland beer. This speech caused great laughter in Court. The prosecutrix, in the latter charge, said she did not wish to press hardly against the prisoner. With his Worship's consent sho would withdraw the charge. For the drunkenness Lee was fined 20s and costs. BREACH OF BY-LAW. Wm. Scott was chargeed, on remand, with depasturing one cow oil" Union-street, in the city of Auckland, on the 4th September, 1573. Defendant in this case had given a wrong address, and had not been found. Sergeant-Major Pardy said, with his Wor ship's consent, he would withdraw the pre sent summons, and issue another. His Worship ordered the case to be struck out for this to be done. ASSAULT. Thos. Lupton was charged with assaulting Silvanus Ncstlerand James Pace on the 20th inst. It was stated by the prosecutors that an arrangement had been come to, and they wished to withdraw the charge. Case dismissed accordingly. CITY KATES. In two summons which were heard for non-payment of City rates, judgment was gnren for the plaintiff.

MR FAIRCLOUGH'S BENEFIT.

Tins popular actor took his benefit at the Prince of Wales Theatre last night, and the bumper house which honoured the occasion must be held to be convincing proof that Mr Fairclough has won his way to public favour in a remarkable manner. The theatre every where was crowded with the most fashion able audience we have seen there for a long time. The play selected for the occasion was " The Merchant of Venice. " with the lenefi ciare as the Jew Shylock. If a judgment may be formed from the amount of applause re ceived by the performers the representation gave the fullest satisfaction. Mr Fairclough depicted the Hebrew money lender in a very forcible manner. If a fault could be found where everything was so good, it would be that the physical action was somewhat too vigorous for the worn-out old man, whom we take it Shakespeare means to represent with all his fierce vindictive passions in their full career after his bodily powers have waned. This fine dramatic contrast Mr Fairclough appeared to lose by playing the character too young. As an expositor of the emotions Mr Fair clough stands in the highest rank. The con tending influences which rule the behaviour of Shylock were finely expi-essed. His love for his daughter great, his love for his money far greater, his love for his hate pre-eminently greatest, swaying his whole life—each of these in its degree was beauti fully marked by the artist who.painted them last night. Mr Fairclough had to bow his acknowledgments to the audience more than once in answer to their repeated calls. Mrs Walter took the part of Portia admirably. Her rapt interest during the casket scene, and her well-trained and polished elocution as the doctor of laws in the trial scene were worthy of the applause they received which included a call before the curtain at'the conclusion of the play. Mr Besford played Antonio very fairly. This gsntjgman, if be gtndieg Jww fa modulate Us

voice better, will make n very fair actor. M r Collier in the somewhat pointless rule of Bassanio made the most of his material, and was'frequently applauded, The character of Gobbo, undertaken by Mr Lachlan Mc- Ciowan, was treated in that richly humorous style which is thoroughly characteristic of this good comedian. The other parts were all fairly rendered. The evening's entertain ment was concluded with some scenes from the " Taming of the Shrew." in which Mr Faivclough appeared as Petruckio and Mrs Hill as Kate the Shrew. Both characters were well sustained and received loudly expressed commendation. To-night "Hamlet" will be reproduced. This will be the last night but one of Mr Fairclough's appear ance.

WANTED KNOWN, that MISS PENNTAL 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. Prom 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 eincient 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 QUESN. 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 pi in sewing of every kind it exactly reqemb es 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 pleasure1. The arrangement permits of the overseivming 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 I[[ semis 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 construc tion. ' itsSTNote the addiess :-MISS PENPAL, Dress.

HEMATITE PAINT, PKKPAHKD FROM HEMATITE IRON ORE, obtained from the District of Coliingwood, Nelson, New Zealand. *This Paint, after severe tests, has been found to surpass all others, and is cpecially applicable to Iron Roofing, Park Fencing, Farm and other Buildings, Bridges, Hurdling, Farm Implements, Carts and Waggons, Gates, and all exposed works. It is sold in fine powder ; will keep any length of time ; no grinding, tinting, or staining being neces sary. It requires simply to be mixed with "Oil Mixture," according to " Directions for Use," and thus avoid the objections to all paints sold "mixed ready for use " The HEMATITE PAINT will be found to be cheaper than other paints, as it can be prepared and sold in Auckland for less than is charged for Lead or Zinc Paints, and, taking weight for weight, will cover a much larger surface.
