CHRISTCHURCH.

This day. The Lyttelton Times and the Press both condemn Mr Togel's North Island province scheme. The Press advocates the abolition of all the provinces. Mr Thomas Russell has written a letter to the Canterbury press with reference to the breakdown of the Californian service. Ho says : —" The chief cause of the present difficulty undoubtedly has been the hasty and premature contract made by the New South Wales Government with Mr H. H. Hall. Had Mr Samuel and myself been free to choose our contractors, we could have made arrangements with a company that would not have been afraid of a loss of £50,000 in starting this great undertaking, but our hands were tied. Mr Hall had the New South Wales eonfcract in his pocket. He esteemed it of great value, and would not admit any persons to participate in it but those who would allow him the full management." With reference to Mr Forbes' connection with the contract, he says :— "We were confirmed in our own opinion of Mr Forbes' lona fides by the readiness with which he chartered five large steamships, and despatched them for the temporary service, and by the fact that on his own personal responsibility he ordered the build ing of four splendid steamers of upwards of 3000 tons each. The contract for those ye«sels was made with two of the most em inent shipbuilders in Great Britain, and they had previously built many ships for Mr Forbes. The fact that these shipbuilders accepted Mr Forbes' order for £400,000 worth of property was the strongest evidence to us of their estimate of his means and ability. He believed Mr Forbes entered into the contract without the knowledge or consent of his partners, and has been com pelled by them to resign it. The real cause of the breakdown Mr Russell believes ,to hare been the temporary service, the danger of which he pointed out to Mr Samuels. He still expresses confidence in the future of the Bervice.

DUNEDIN.

This day. The Times in a leader on Mr Vogel's re solutions re North Island provinces, says :— "If he has no ulterior designs on the Middle Island, no objection can be taken by the people on their own account. The question must be answered what form of Government is to take the place of present Provincial institutions. Nothing will suit the Middle Island but that arrangements should be maintained by which local ex penditure should fee met by revenue locally made."

ABOLITION OF NORTH ISLAND PROVINCES.

INDIGNATION MEETING AT

NEWMARKET.

A well-attended meeting of the electors of Parnell and Eden waa held at the Presbyterian schoolroom, at Newmarket, last night to discuss the proposals of Mr Vogel to abolish provincialism in the North Island. Mr James Baber was voted to the chair. The speaker who first addressed the meeting waß Mr Cheesenaan. He alluded to the way in which Mr Vogel had deceived and be trayed his constituents. He then contrasted the Bums appropriated by the province of \Auckland out of the loan against that appro priated by Canterbury—£9oo,ooo against $2,000,000, and put against those figures the amounts contributed by the same to the revenue —Auckland, in Customs, £194,000, stamp duties, £14,700, postal dues £10,000, Telegraph £7,800; and oth«r items contributed about £250,000 annually. If Mr Vogel conntinued taxing the JocketiandpatienQQ Qf the people of Auok.

land much longer he would goad them on to madness. He begged to move the follow ing resolution:—"While not pronouncing any opinion on the total abolition of the province?^ this meeting is of opinion that the proposals of the Hon. Mr Vogel for the absorption of the provinces of the North Island, and the continuance and confirmation of those in the South, J are unjust, impolitic, and should be resisted in every legitimate way." Mr Westwood seconded the resolution.—Mr Carlisle made a long speech in favour of Centralism. The population of the whole colony was not more than that of Birming ham, a third-class town in England, and yet it required, or at least had, over 1,000 people to govern it. Auckland was a grand pro vince, with resources which no other pro vince had, and she had been betrayed by her own members. He believed that Mr Vogel's plan was but the thin edge of the wedge, and would ultimately result in the central ising of the whole colony. On that account he should move as an amendment, "That the' action taken by the Premier, the Hon Julius Vogel, for the abolition of the provinces of the North Island is just and politic.—The amendment did not find a seconder, and lapsed.—Mr Tonks spoke next. He advo cated the formation of two great provinces. He could see why a form of government ad visable for one island was not suited to the other. He begged to submit the following amendment: —"That this meeting should approve of any proposal to constitute the North Island into one province with the seat of Government at Auckland, and the South Island into another province."—This was seconded by Mr Allender.—Mr Wrigley en larged upon the changes of opinion evidenced in Mr Vogel's conduct. At the beginning of the session he had alluded to such a design as that which he wasnow attempting to-carry out as being out of place at the present time. Mr Vogel had entered public life as a provincialist. The Superintendents had put him in, and he was now trying to kick the Superintendents out. The speaker then quoted from the Star to show the inadequate return Auckland received for her contribu tions to the revenue of the colony. He moved the following addition to Mr Cheeseman's resolution:—" But it strongly suggests the desirability of abolishing the whole of the Provincial Governments in the colony."—Mr Cheeseman said he had no objection to the addition. — The original motion was then modified to take in Mr "Wrigley's proposal.— Mr Wood made a telling speech against the luke-warmness and want of union amongst the Auckland members. They ought to refuse to go down to the Assembly if their just demands made session after session were not acceded to. The time would come when justice would have to be insisted on.—Mr Tonks' amendment was put and lost on the show of hands.—Mr Cheeseman's motion was then put and carried by a large majority. —A further resolution was then proposed by Mr Wrigley, which was " That the land revenue should be colonial revenue, and a proportion of such revenue appropriated to the local authorities in the district where such revenue is raised, for the purpse of local improvements." The resolution was unanimously agreed to.— It was then moved by Mr Wrigley, and carried, that the foregoing resolutions be forwarded to the members for Eden and Parnell, with a request to those members to read them to the Assembly. — A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the meeting, which was very enthusiastic in its character throughout.

MEETING AT OTAHUHU.

TnE electors of Franklin held a meeting at the Criterion Hotel yesterday afternoon for the same purpose as that of Newmarket, Mr Goodfellow in the chair, who read a telegram from Mr J. May announcing Mr Vogel's proposals, and proceeded in a lengthy speech to propose " That in the opinion of this meeting the provinces of the North Island should bo done away with." He individually considered that it would be better to do away with all the provinces of New Zealand, but by grasping at too much they might lose the whole. If however the provinces of the North Island could be abolished, it would be a great step in the right direction. —Mr Andrews said he would go in for the resolution if one clause was added to it. He was in favour of the abolition of the Northern provinces, which he thought was absolutely necessary for the well-being of the colony. He would there fore add that "Providing the land revenue be localised for local purposes of expenditure." —Mr. Woodward supported the resolution with the localisation clause. —Mr Albin Martin agreed with many of the Chairman's remarks, but was of opinion that if the Northern institutions were abolished the Southern ones should share the same fate. He would therefore move '' That this meet ing is of opinion that it is not desirable to abolish the Northern provinces unless the GoA'ernment is prepared to do away with the Southern provinces also."—Mr. G. Smales supported Mr. Martin's motion. Messrs. Allen, Gordon, and othei-s having addressed the meeting, the Chairman put the motion and amendments, when the amendment of Mr. Albin Mai tin was carried by a large majority.—The meeting then separated.
