the Duke of Edinburgh, gave a farewell con cert last night previous to sailing for New Zealand. Warren, the bank defaulter, who paid Auckland a visit, and was arrested in Dune din, was brought up and remanded. It is expected that the cases being so clear cannot but terminate in a committal.

BISHOP MORAN ON EDUCATION

NELSON,

This day,

In reply to an address presented by the Catholics yesterday, Bishop Moran said that although he could not express entire approval of the Nelson education system, he could not fail to admire the liberality displayed in it. If the other provinces would adopt a similar Act his voioe would seldom be heard on the subject.

CHRISTCHURCH.

This day.

Mr Eeeves has addressed his constituents. Referring to the action of the Fox-Vogei Government in regard to the Brogden con tracts, and defending the Government from the charges of extravagance and reckless ness, he said that when he took office he found the country in a state of unprepared ness for working out the Immigration and Pablio Worka scheme. There wer«

difficulties in the way of the Go , vernment carrying out the work as speedily as they wished. In consequence ;of this Mr Brogden was dissatisfied, and his dissatisfaction found expression in many journals. The Government were also • perplexed with offers to do work below the , estimates. The Government never accepted : one of Mr Brogden's tenders without making j a complete and searching examination. The House had authorised the construction of 178 miles of railway at £4,800 per mile. If the railways were constructed for less than ■ £5,-000 per mile, New Zealand would have the cheapest railways in the world. He re ferred to the action of the provincial party, charging them with desiring simply to control the expenditure of the loan. Mr Fitzherbert and the Wellington party wanted the control of the Rimi tuka railway. Mr Reeves went on to contend that the Fox-Vogel Ministry was unjustly treated by the House. He (refused to join Mr Vogel, although he had been pressed to do so. pirstly, because he thought the vote of the House on Mr Stafford's non confidence motion was unfair. Secondly, be cause his place was equally fille by another. Thirdly, because it transpired in con versation with Mr Hall that Mr Vogel had entered into pledges with regard to other members of the Ministry which Mr Vogel had failed to inform him of, these pledges being such as he could not conscientiously be a party to. He also found an extraordinary want of candour on the part of Mr Vogel. He would not be open to the charge of disloyalty to party, as many woiild have made that explanation to the House, and so have damaged their party. He held firm faith in I the brightness of the future prospect if the progressive policy was wisely and prudently administered. Mr Vogel did not promise £30,000 revenue from the railways three years after passing the Public Works Act. He stated distinctly that it would certainly not take until 1874 to render the works repro ductive. He explained that he had sent for Oregon pine sleepers, as sleepers could not be got in the colony. Contracts for LI,GCO.OOO had been entered into, but only about L 500,000 or LfiOO.ooo had been paid out of the loan. He would support the present Go vernment so long as it carried out the scheme wisely and well. He would support any Government that was doing so. He was not of opinion that a dissolution was the best remedy for the present state of affairs. What was wanted was that the leaders of parties should drop their personal differences. v
