Jt is more than probable that _ death will be the result. The victim in this instance is a young girl. Some months ago she incurred the resentment of another girl, who soon after the quarrel went \o resort J c__ ll <^ Settlement in which a Tohr— '--' **f clotk*V %% tent- The §irl first -gfei"™" « " * shortly afterwards, an# i'■ XdeWr^ a^ once concluded v~ fill* C^.'f ~>een set to work by the ,3: \.-"l,7"~**'!

She partakes of VfiPj little nourishment, and continues for the most part in a species of dreamy stupor with occasional intervals of incoherent raving and paroxysm. The whole of the natives in the settlement are firmly of opinion that the Tohunga, who lives at some distance, is the cause of the misfortune ; but the latter stoutly denies that such is the case. Another Tohunga is now endeavour ing to counteract these spells, and a more powerful one has likewise been sent for, from a distance, but it is more than probable that the girl will eventually die a victim to the superstition of her race, unless the friendly Tohungas succeed in pursuading herself and her friends that they have over come the spells under which she is suffering, and in the event of their failure there ap pears to be no possible method of averting her fate.—P.

PARLIAMENTARY.

PASSAGE OF ARMS BETWEEN VOGEL AND FITZHERBERT.

WELLINGTON.

This day, BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.

In the Legislative Council, on the motion of the Hon Mr Ackland, a select committee was appointed to enquire into the breach of privilege committed by the Tribune by pub lishing an Auckland telegram purporting to give an account of the examination of Judge Ward before the Ward-Chapman Committee. In the House of Representatives Mr J. L. Gillies moved a similar motion.

Mr Tribe asked why not attack the paper in which the telegram first appeared ? The Speaker said they must proceed against the first paper in which they saw the matter. The committee was ordered to be appointed. THE BANKRUPTCY ACT AMEND-

MENT BILL was read a second time. On the committee of the Wellington Lands Payment Bill the Premier considered some limitation should be placed to prevent what might lead to an enormous waste of land.

Mr Bunny said the Bill was just a copy of the Marlborough Bill, which passed with out opposition. They had roads and bridges to make, but no money. The House would not lend them any. Why prevent them from availing themselves of Buch means as they had at their disposal ? Mr Pearce protested against making any" difference between one province and another, as waa evidently done in this case. Only a few hours sgo they passed a Bill setting; apart one-fourth of all the land in Taranaki. The Premier explained that the case of Taranaki was quite different, and denied the charge of favouring unduly any particular province. Mr Fitzherbert denounced the practice of the Government of making fish of one pro vince and flesh of another, notwithstanding the statements of the Premier to the con trary. The Premier appealed to the sym pathy of the House as an injured individual, when he detailed the large amount of favors showered npon Wellington. The contrary was the fact, for the double number syste matically persecuted and sat on Wellington. Was it because the Taranaki votes were safe, and those of Wellington were, as he was happy to say, not always in support of the Government that this was the case. The Premier adhered to every statement made regarding Wellington, and said that hnd the hon member been in his place at the time he would have heard a great deal more about Wellington. He scorned the imputa tion of purchasing votes. If they had wanted they need not have gone far for them, as they had notoriously been in the market at very low terms. He certainly would not go to the smallest province in the colony if he wished to buy votes. No Government in the colony was ever in less need of that kind of support. He did not think the House would permit such a practice. In any case it was always bad policy for the Government to traffic in that way

Mr Fitzherbert took the opportunity of replying to the Premier, and in concluding observed that he made bold to predict that the Premier was hurrying the policy of the colony to speedy failure, and that he well knew it. There was not a tittle of truth in the financial statements regarding Welling ton.

The Premier left it to the House to say whether he ever wilfully attempted to de ceive ; but would refer the hon members to correspondence regarding the Audit Act and nave them judge between them. Mr Fitzherbert reiterated for the third time that the Premier's statements regarding Wellington were utterly repngnant to truth, and the Premier should be ashamed to refer to the audit correspondence. Mr Luekio was about to refer to the judg ment of the Supreme Court when the House cut short the altercation with cries of ." Question !" and progress was reported.

AUCKLAND WASTE LANDS BILL. The committal of the Auckland Waste Lands Bill caused a good deal of discussion.

The Premier opposed the clause for parting with land for homesteads as contrary to the spirit ef the sixth section of the Public Works Act, which never contemplates giving away land. Messrs Sheehan and Gillies defended the clause on the ground that the best policy was to people the land — not to obtain revenue from it.

The Premier was persistent, and progress was reported. PROGRESS OF BILLS.

The Ofcago Waste Lands Act Amendment Bill passed. Highway Boards Empowering Act Amendment and .Registration of Births Amendment Bills were discharged at the request of the Government (Erom our own Correspondent)

There is a probability of the proposal to form the North Island into one province assuming definite shape in a day or two. Mr Reader Wood is moving in the matter, and it is said that Mr T. Russell favours the ;. '-*>w__e"_i_' * i xdr ickie has been summoned to appear >_. Chef or< committee of the House for divulging p_"oeec.__ings before Ward-Chapman Scandal Enquiry Commission. The Conservation of Forests Bill will be shorn of all its most objectionable features in committee on Friday. Mr Gillies last night, in speaking of the Native Lands Act Amendment Bill, said members could not form an intelligent opinion without seeing the report of judges on the working of the Act. Mr McLean eaid the Act had not been properly tried yet. Tho opposition to it pro ceeded from interested parties,

ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY.

Mr Allen is to be congratulated on the j success which has attended the "million" , prices of admission to the extra performances of the Opera Company, the public having responded, in such a manner as to fully compensate him for the reduction made. Last night the theatre was again crowded to inconvenience, and the audience most enthusiastic, affording ample proof that a wider taste, for high-class music exists than we had been led to believe from the meagre attendance on several occasions during the season. The attraction was the opera o " Cinderalla," which abounds with sparkling musio, and affords the utmost latitude for scenic effect, of which the artist availed himself fully, many of the scenes being ex ceedingly gorgeous and effective poetical conceptions of fairy land, especially that in the last scene, the " aviery of delight." Miss May, of course, was the life of the performance by her versatile assumptions of the phases of Cinderella's existence, and "was ably supported by Mr. Henry Hallam as the Prince. Mr. Rainford displayed an excellent comic vein in his impersonation of Baron Pompoloni, and received at intervals considerable appause. A meed of praise is due to Miss Lambert and Messrs Tooxple ton, Vernon and Levison. vJ««B'efforts aided i much to the sueew" «r the performance. To nigbt by *-«qiiest, Weber's spectacular opera [ ___?-'-' Der Freischutz " has been substituted in place of Satauella, when another full house may be expected.

THE COLONIAL BANK.

Anotheb addition is on the point of being made to the monetary institutions 'of New Zealand. Tho share list of the Colonial Bank has just been closed, and we under stand that the requisite Dumber of shares having been subscribed, itwillsoon commence operations. We heartily wish it success. As the colony progresses every institution of the kind, properly managed, will be use ful in developing the resources of the country, aa well as profitable to the shareholders ; and we believe there is room enough for all. We think it, however, a mistake on the paTt of the promoters of the new Bank to hold out such promises of liberal terms and cheap money to all classes as are to be gathered from their prospectus. They will assuredly find that their shareholders, like all other ■capitalists, will require the best returns ob tainable for their money, and that none of them will prefer patriotism to profit. We think, too, it would have been better had they refrained from attacking the " three Banks from Australia " by the implication contained in their prospectus thf.t the latter aro merely making Now Zealand subservient to their business elsewhere. This statement is not borne out by the facts. We find by the sworn returns for the quarter ending March 31st, 1874, that tho amount of their own capital employed by those Banks in New Zealand, in addition to aU the deposits obtained in tho . colony, exceeded £1, GOO, 000. The total amount of deposits, circulation, and all other funds derivable from the colony held by the Banks referred to, according to their sworn returns to the 31st March, 1874, was (omitting shillings and pence) £2.025, 040. At the same date, according to the samo returns, the total amount employed by the three Banks within the colony was £3.093,839. So that

the total amount these Banks employed within the colony exceeded the fund they derived from the colony by no less a sum than £1,(367,899 —or upwards of half-a-million more than the united paid-up capital and reserves of the other Banks trading hi New Zealand, which by these returns appear to be only £1,123,327. Such being the case it was scarcely fair to those institutions to refrain from putting it forward. In the prospectus before us the colonists are invited to keep " within their own domain the absolute con trol of their own money." This simply means that they ought to withdraw their deposits from tho three Banks alluded to; a proceeding which would inevitably result in the withdrawal also of the large sum with which these banks are now con tent to supplement the deposits derived on the spot. It cannot be supposed that under such a condition they would continue operations here as mere investors of capital for which they can find profitable employment elsewhere. .And we fail to see any advantage in transferring the duty of employing the deposits they now hold and employ to any other institution whatever when the transfer must evidently involve the loss to this colony of the large amount of foreign capital which the above returns prove the Banks in question to be the means of in troducing. We believe, as we have already said, that there is room enough for all. And we deprecate any measure tending to force capital out of the colony, no matter whence it is derived. — Canterbury Tress.

LYTTELTON,

This day.

Captain Hart, of the steamer Beautiful Star, had both legs broken yesterday after noon. The steamer was employed towing out the ship Ballochmyle when a heavy sea caused the lashing of the tow rope to give way. The rope struck the captain, inflicting injuries on the right leg, which will have to be amputated below the knee. The left will be saved, although it has sustained a com pound fracture. The right leg was amputated below the knee yesterday, and the compound fracture of the left leg reduced, but tho opinion is it must oome off, and that he cannot survive. The steamer, in charge of Pilot Wood, left Inst night at midnight with Mr Hart on board. Dr. Smyth accompanying him.. Subscriptions were ©pened this morning, and in less than an hour £100 were sub scribed.

1 INQUIRY INTO CAPTAIN CASEY'S CLAIM AGAINST THE MILTIAD IS3.

£1625 Awarded to Mr Casey.

■We understand that Dr. Campbell de : clined to act as arbitrator representing the owners and consignees of the vessel, in the Militiades salvage claim. Mr John Roberton consented to accept the office. Tho two arbitrators, Messrs. James Watt and John Roberton, met this morning at the office of the Harbour Board and commenced 1 their investigation into the salvage claim of j Capt. Casey against the Miltiades. No re porters were allowed to be present, so we can only state that the following gentlemen gave evidence as to the circumstances of the grounding of the ship Miltiades :— Capt. Perritt, of the Miltiades ; Mr Breach, chief officer ; the steersman ; Captain Casey, the claimant; Captain Kaspc-r, of the p.s. Lady Bowen ; Captain Burgess, Chiof Har bourmaster and Pilot, and some others. Captain Casey watched the case on his own behalf, and Mr Mabin took care of the in terests of Messrs Owen and Graham, the agents of the ship. The result was announced this afternoon. The large Bum of £1,625 w *_ ce°U awarded to Captain Casey. Mr VVardrop has been appointed umpire.

FIJI.

By the Star of the South we have files to tho 29t.h. They contain, however, very little of interest. We make the following extracts :—

Mr and Mrs Buttors were entertained at a ball prior to their departure per Star of the South for Victoria, via New Zosk.nd. The first number of the Fiji Argus has just been issued. It is a weekly journal similar in appearance to the defunct Gazelle: ggAt Levuka the weather during the week ending Saturday, July 25, was colder than has been before experienced in the Pijis. Blankets and warm clothing were at an im mense premium, and the supply could hardly keep pace with the demand A correspondent writes as follows from Bewa :—Reliable information has been re ceived from Mr Clarence, manager for the Melbourne company vthicli has gladdened the hearts of planters who have larco crops of cane planted. Ho has purchased a mill«src., intends bringing it on-to the river at once, and hopes to have it working within two months after ho arrives. Another very large mill ia ordered from the old country for the company also, so that this once' dospised Rewa district f.ill become of some little im portance.
