get back again. But we camd off to Yozgat, and, here we saw the famine in its more vCaling aspects. The city is filled with hungry, emaciated, dying men, women, and children. Many a poor villager has died from starvation in the streets of Yoz»at. 80 far as I can learn the Protestant brethren have done very well in the rplief of the poor, but what are they among so many ? The city has been literally filled with the poor villagers, who, as soon as the roads were sufficiently opened to allow them to move from their places of confinement and star vation, fled from the city, hoping to get a morsel of bread. They crowd around the public ovens and reach out their bony, blackened hands, crying pite onsly for something to appease the raging and terrible hunger. Mothers with children at their breasts, and little ones clinging to tbeir tattered skirts ; old men and the sick, unable stand ; those that were strong yonn» men, all alike pleading that they may sot be left to die. Oh, the scene was too heart-rending, and beggars description ! The Mussnlmen through these famine-stricken regions have done very little, and in some places nothing at all for the poor, even of their own faith. The rich Turks store up grain in their houses, lock up their doors and let the poor die in the street?. Many of those who have grain are in league -with the local governors, and so they are not compelled to sell. Such is the case in Yoz gat. In Cesarea the local authorities have done better. In one of the villages between Cesarea and Yozgat there was one Protestant family. During the lonely winter their scanty stock of provisions was exhausted, and as no one in the village would reader any assistance because they were Protestants, they attempted to get away. The father died, and the rest, if living, are in a most wretched con dition. The famine extends beyond Yozgat to Angorr, and in many places there is nothing left to subsist on but grass, and the wretched inhabitants are dying in large numbers. The Government of Sbamboul is talking over the matter and doing something to supply the want, but things of this kind in Turkey move so slowly, and corrupt officials do- Your so large a share, that hungry mouths are rarely reached. Our oufc station of Sunguriu lies on the road from Yozgat to Angora, and here the suffering is j becoming intense. Many of the brethren are in great straits. They have sold everything that they could sell for » little money, for which to get bread, and now they have absolutely nothing left. They must beg or die, and perhaps if they beg they will still die. When I reached Yozgat the brethren there were trying to send in a little relief from their own scanty stores. I had two liras (§SO) contributed by kind friends in Constantinople, which I could give. But those who hold the wheat in their hands demand such exorbitant prices that a few dollars are soon expended, and then the poor are left again without bread. Hero at Mars ovan the pressure is not so severe, though the city is flooded with beggars from the city ofisfAngora.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.) MENTAL TROSTBATION. William Callaghan, "William Leary, Wil liam Davern, and Thomas McGoldstick were charged with being drunk and disorderly.

Mrs Jones pleaded guilty, but her husband was away at the Bay of Islands ; she had since purchased a collar. Dismissed on payment of costs. Timothy Hayes was charged with allowing his horse and cart to stand unattended and unchained in Victoria-street. Mr Hayes denied the charge ; he was a respectable farmer and milkman, and only left his milk-cart for a few minutes beside the pump in the street. Hia Worship : It looks rather suspicious when a milkman leaves his cart close to a pump. Defendant: It does, your Worship, in some casea, but I assure your Worship that I never put water into my milk—my cus tomers are too wide-awake. Constable Maroney proved the charge, and Mr Hayes was fined 20s and costs. William O'Hara, for allowing his chimney in Lome-street to catch fire, was fined 5s and costs. Alexander Campbell, for allowing his dog to be at large without a collar, was fined 53 and costs.

Mr Nicholson explained that he was an unwilling offender against the by-law, but Would take out a collar at once. Pined 5s and costs. Thig concluded the business.

LAST NIGHT.

The Railways Bill Thrown Out.

The Railways Bill was thrown out by the Legislative Council by a majority of three. WARM DEBATE ON CONSTITUTION OF THE^ UPPER HOUSE. Last evening Mr Murray rose to move, " That in the opinion of this House the nomi nation of tenants of the Crown to seats in the | Legislative Council is highly objectionable, j and. inconsistent with the independence of Parliament," and proceeded to remark that such a course reflected seriously on the motives actuating members of either branch of the Legislature, when he was interrupted by the Speaker. Mr Atkinson asked was the motion a proper one, and in order? The Speaker said he would have struck the motion off the order paper had not his brother Speaker said he had bo objection to see the motion discussed if the House wished it. He considered the motion exceedingly im pertinent on the parb of any member of that House to pretend to limit by motion the prerogative of the Crown, but he left it to the Government to express its wishes in regard to the motion. Mr McLean considered, the motion in very bad taste, and if the lion, mover reflected for a moment he would not have acted so as to bring about an altercation between the two branches of the Legislature in enforcing his arguments by attributing personal mo tives. He trusted the hon. member would withdraw the motion, which ought never to have been put upon the paper. Mr Murray defended the resolution, and only regretted it did not emanate from the Government. He was afraid their leanings were too much towards the tenants of the Crow n. He declined to withdraw the motion. Mr Reid supported the motion warmly as one upon which the House thculd express an opinion. Mr Fox saicJ there were other ways of deal ing with all these constitutional questions without being guilty of a piece of foolish im pertinence and offeiing unnecessary insult to the other House. If there was an objection to any particular class of members of the other House why not bring down a bill dis qualifying them V J^'Mr T. L. Shepherd supported the principle of the motion, though awkwardly dra^n up. Out of 45 members of the other House there were 14 tenants of the Crown, who were consistent opponents of all liberal laud laws. He was positive the policy of the country could never be a success until the land was allowed to be settled by the people. Mr L. Gillies hoped the motion would be pressed to a division, as ho agreed with all that had fallen from the two preceding Otago members. Xine men out of every ten in Otago i would hail any such proposal with satisfaction. Mr She eh an thought he would not vote for the motion, but he deprecated the ruling of the Speaker, which would in faot burke dis cussion in the Houso upon any question of that nature. Still he hoped the hon. member would withdraw the motion. The question could very fitlyjaibe discussed next session with other constitutional changes. Messrs.'JMervyn and Tribe hoped the motion would be withdrawn. Mr O'Conor thought tho motion had a good intention, but wss misleading. Though he sympathised greatly with the object in view, ( he must oppose the motion. The question was so important that the country would insist upon its ventilation soon. Mr Thompson proposed that the debate be adjourned. At tho request of members the motion was withdrawn.
