MR ROLLESTON AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.

CHEISTCHUECH,

This day.

Mr Rolleston addressed his constituents at the Avon district last night in a laboured speech of two hours' duration. The principal part was devoted to a resume of the Acts of the General Assembly from 1872 to 1874. He did not enter into the question of the aboli tion of the provinces so fully as expected. Having reviewed the Assembly business since 1572 he said it was much to be regretted that Mr Vogel was about to leave for Eng land at a time when his presence in the colony considering the vast undertakings the colony, bad embarked in, was absolutely necessary. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He proceeded to contrast the contributions of the North and Middle Islands to the gene ral and customs revenue of the colony, and pointed out that the contributions cf Canter bury and Otago to the Customs revenue was nearly equal to the contributions of the rest of the colony. He complained of the threat of dissolution held ont last session by Mr Vogel in the event of the House not agreeing with the proposed abolition of the Northern provinces. He maintained this was a most unconstitutional threat for a Minister of the Crown to make use of, because no doubt it had a very considerable influence on the minds of many hon. members, who were perhaps under the impression they did not possess the confidence of their constituents, and that if they went to them for re-election they would be defeated. Respecting the abolition of the North ern provinces he thought such a ques tion was most inopportune; that people had elected the members of the present Assembly on a totally diffeunt platform. For the main part members had been elected by the people to support the Government in its scheme of immigtation and public works, and it was unfair to the people of the colony when only one more session of the Assembly was unexpired to ask the House to agree to a proposition which would have the effect of wiping out the institutions of a portion of the colony. He had fre quently declared, that he (Mr Rolleston) was no ultra-provincialist. If the people ex pressed a desire that there should be a change in the constitution ; if they expressed it in an unmistakable manner, he for one would most willingly agree with their desires, and do his best for a new order of things ; but he maintained that the people of the colony had no opportunity for doing this, and until they had he was clearly of opinion that such a proposal as that made by Mr Vogel last session was most inopportune. At the con clusion of the speech a vote confidence in Mr Rolleston was unanimously passed.

The steady progress which this Company has made ia well known. The original amount paid by the first Shareholders was L 4.845, an additional issue of new Shares was niado in 1802, and L 3.572 was then capital ised, making in nil L 5.227. The Capital now stands at LIOO.OOO, it having grown to this amount from time to time out of profits In addition to this, and out of profits also, a Ro-Insur»nce Fund of L 40.000, and a Reserve Fund of L' 35,000, have been added to the Company's assets. And during the whole period of the Company's existence the Shareholders have received dividends at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum, and tho amount paid in dividends has been L 72.171. Losses amounting to nearly half-a-million have occurred fince the commencement of business, and have invariably been promptly met. The amount of accumulated funds belonging to the Company, and invested, now stands at L 214.000 The investments consist of Real Property, Mortgages, Bank, Lo«n Company, Gas, and other Shares, City Debentures, &c. The interest accruing from these investments would pay on the proposed increased Capital of L 200.000 a rate of interest to the shareholders equal to 7% per cent. : that is to say if all the premiums were lost tho Company would be able to declare a dividend of 7& per cent, from the present invested accumulations ; whereas the invested funds when the present plan is carried out, will begin with L 240.000.
