CONCLUSION OF THE SESSION,

LAST NIGHT'S BUSINESS. This day.

In the Legislative Council the Licensing and Prisoners Bills were read a third time. The' Extradition of Native Grantees and the Justices of the Peace Bills passed. This, with some unimportant questions, cleared the order paper. vi {i ~ In the House it was agreed that the evi dence in Mr; Brogden?s petition be printed. i Several Bills sent down from the Upper House, with amendments, wera agreed to, except £the Education Bill, which are im portant, and may lead to rejection. It was agreed that the House meet at two to-day to consider the amendments to this Bill.

The Council meets at three to receive a report, and prorogue at four.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE PRORO

GATION,

The prorogation has been put off till to morrow at noon, the printing-office being behind with work. SCANDALOUS' REVELATIONS. .

Scandalous revelations were made before committee on the Ngakawau coal mine respecting the floating of the Albion Com pany and the purchase of the Comerang. The eyidence will be laid on the table tljis afternoon. • • ' ■

The s.s. Wellingtons for the South, has been puA.off _till. J;Q.-,inprr.QK».-.at-touj: o'clock in the aft^noqn. . Vlf t ■..-... Government Bnildings, 2.30 p.m. A gi%eat row has just!: occurred in the House respecting the evidence taken in the Ngakawhau coal mine enquiry. Mr .O'Connor complained that after the

evidence was laid on the table of the House it had b«en totally altered by Mr Beetham. The speaker endeavoured to put down Mr O'Connor who persisted. Mr Bunny took up the cause denouncing it as an outrage on the House. The Minister of Works stated that the alterations were o\ a most vital character, altering totally the nature of the evidence on which the action was being taken. The Speaker apologised to Mr O'Connor. He stated that he had misunderstood.

Mr Wakefleld stated that he had seen Mr Beetham come into the House, go to the table, end taking up the report sit down and make extensive alterations when the mem bers were absent.

Mr Fitzherbert spoke in strongly denun ciatory terms of such conduct. PLe said the officers of the House must be made account able.

The Speaker said an enquiry would b« instituted. The excitement ran very high. It appears the alterations totally altered the character of the. evidence.

The House ia now considering the amend ments of the Council on the Education Bill, disagreeing with most.

INQUEST.—This Day

An inquest was held this afternoon at the Terminus Hotel, before Dr Philson, M.D., coroner, and a jury on the body of Richard Phillips, who was found drowned. Richard Tucker deposed that he was a carpenter, residing in Newton, and that yesterday morning, while engaged on the wharf, he observed the body of d man floating, and went and in formed ' Sergeant Baker of what he he had seen. He then assisted the constable in recovering the body. Sergeant James Baker immediately went to the spot, and by the aid of| last witness it was lifted into the boat, and conveyed to the dead house. He found the body in.a decomposed state. Randle C. Mainwaring deposed that he witnessed the accident on the morning of the 23rd, and informed Mr Carr, boat-builder, who immediately launched a boat, but before ne could reach the dingy one of the men had gone down. There was a very heavy sea at the time.

Dectective Jeffrey identified the body, and the jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict of " Found Drowned."

CITY COUNCIL.

The ordinary meeting of the City Council took place this day. Letters were read from the Deputy- Superintendent expressing approval of the resolution of the Council on the subject of the city leaseholds, and disappi'oval of the proposed reservoir in Symonds-street as being of no use in case of fire in the upper parts of the city. An account amounting to £173 was re ceived from Messrs Brogden and Son, repre senting the expensos of tendering their water supply scheme. The matter was referred back to Messrs Brogden and Son for explanation on several items. ''■•' ■'■

It was resolved to lend Mr Blewden the stone^orushing machine, subject to arrange ments to be made by the City Surveyor. Mr Offer was granted permission to keep up a sign-board which he had put up in ignorance of the by-law against it. It was, however, agreed that if any citizen tried the same in future it should be disallowed.

Permission was granted to Messrs. Reed and Brett, of the Eveninu Star*, to erect an advertising board at the corner of Victoria and Hobson streets, and Wellington and Hobson streets. It was intimated that no further permission would be granted to erect boards. . ,

,Six weeks' leave 6i absence was granted to Mr. Dargaville. Advice was; received- : of_ the sending of a [patent street sweeping machine from Messrs. Parkes. and ; Co., of Sydney. The price being twice what was sent in the prite list the consideration of whether the machine should be received was reserved.

The City Surveyor's report was presented. This contained the important fact that there were more building fees received last month than for a long while before, ! Letters werereceivedfrom Messrs Furlong, Messenger, King, and Lindsay, all complain ing of the high rent of their stalls in the Market, in comparison with the business they were doing. Mrs Lindsay's letter was a beautiful brevity which is the soul of wit. It ran :—" Mr Mayor, —I cannot make my stall pay, so here is the key." The Finance Committee was authorised to purchase £1000 worth of city debentures. A by-law was introduced by Councillor Macready for the registration of chimney sweepers. It was agreed to consider the matter at the next meeting of the Council.

On the motion of Councillor Isaacs, it was agreed that all work and supplies required by the Council above the value of £20 should be tendered for.

The Mayor moved, and it was carried, " That a committee be appointed to define the duties of the various officers' of the Council." Councillor Holdship withdrew a motion tha.b a reservoir should be constructed in Symonds-street for use in case of fire. He said he had discovered th?t the levels would not admit ,of the, carrying out of his scheme, but at the same, time he thought it was a.matter of considerable importance, and he should be glad to hear any suggestion on the subject. Councillor Isaacs thought the water might be pumped up from the harbour by engines. Councillor Isaacs thought the Domain was the only ' source from which the water could be obtained, but the pipes would have to be altered, or why not accept Mr Seccombe's offer to supply them, with water. They might build a reservoir them selves on their own ground at the corner of the Kyber Pass Road. A rate of sixpence might be levied tb meet the cost, and he was sure the citizens would not object to it. Councillor Holdship begged leave to sub stitute the following—"That a committee consisting' of Councillors Prime, Holdship, Isaacs and Macready be formed to report upon the best means of extinguishing fire."

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 iidmirable 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 i 8 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 dres3ed 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 iv 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 whatevw, whether hand or treadle. In its application to plnin 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 bo found of immense value in the. manufacture of children's clothing and in ornamental work. IJ 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 construc tion. /tar Note the address :-MISS PENNAL, Dress Mantle-maker, and Machinist, West End Houhe Wakefield stKeet. .
