plains of Marengo and Austerlitz and in the snnny glades of Spain. So Mr Vogel forgot when he complained of the provinces that those provinces had served him -well, and suffered for his benefit. The speaker next adverted to the probable prospect of the continuance of Mr Vogel's persecution of tbe North. People would not endure for ever. It would soon come to the providing of Bpecial means for paying necessary expendi ture. Then would come a crisis ; and if the Northern provinces saw themselves ground down they would end by resisting. (Hear, hear.) It seemed very strange that Mr Vogel should at one moment enlarge upon the prosperity of the colony and the next should have to declare it necessary to give sops to the different provinces to keep them quiet. It was said with truth that trade was good, the value of land was improving, &c. That was the result of the expenditure of the borrowed money. Unless people soon woke up and took things more into their own hands a crisis would come, and a terrible one for the colony. (Hear, hear.) In the year 1546 £10,000,000 was voted in England for public works in the South of Ireland, where the potato famine was then raging. During the time of the spending of that money times were good, but afterwards they were worse than ever. It was his hearers duty to see that a similar collapse should not take place here, Mr Vogel in speaking of the new loan alluded in glowing terms to the fact of £500,000 being taken up in the colony. He did not mention that a large proportion of that sum was taken up by the trust fund—by the money of the widows and orphans of the colony. A colleague of Mr. Vogel's had once twitted a member of Mr Stafford's Ministry with using the colonial forces to play at soldiers. This was when the blood of Yon Tempsky, Hunter, and of other heroes were scarcely dry. He (the speaker) was certain of one thing, and that was that Mr Vogel was playing at politics. (Hear, hear.) The difference between these heroes and this astute politician might be defined as follows : They sacrificed themselves for the benefit of their country, and he had sacrificed his country for the benefit of himself. (Laughter and applause). The great and brave men he had referred to, and Mr Vogel, were in one Bense similar. The last thing they had done was to die for their country, and that was the last thing Mr Vogel would do. (Renewed laughter and loud applause.) Throughout all the financial statements of Mr Vogel one feature was visible like a silver thread running through the whole of them, and that was that there was but one Government of New Zealand, and Mr Vogel was its head. (Hear, hear.) The speaker then reverted to the inconsistency of Mr Vogel's various acts of administration.' He was continually altering his projects, and it was just possible that he might even now throw over his resolutions, and find some other scheme. The third resolution involved a clear breach of faith with those investors who had lent them money solely on the secu rity of the land fund. But what did Mr Vogel and his colleagues care for the disgrace of the colony so long as they lived like princes. He would drag the very flag of his country in the mud. (Hear.) Mr Vogel had, as Mr O'Eorke truly said, started upon a voyage of which it was impossible to see the end. The Premier had said Mr O'Korke was guilty of discourtesy to his colleagues. When such transactions were rife it was no time to consider courtesy. It was necessary to speak out sharply. The spirit of rotten ness had permeated the Press of the country. How many independent journals were there in the colony? (Loud cries of "Only one." The Star, the Star ) Ail honor to those journals, who, like Mr O'Eorke, when they could no longer with decency countenance Buch questionable practices, withdrew their support. (Hear, hear.) The present course of policy must, if it were continued, end in repudiation, a pass to which no British colony had yet arrived, and they surely would not be content that New Zealand should be the first. (No; no.) The speaker, then, by some apt illustrations, showed the onerous nature of the present Customs taxation. If there was much more blow ing out of the Customs metaphorical foot ball it would come to a squash—it would burst. (Laughter.) He disapproved of Customs taxation for a young country altogether. In 1670 Mr Vogel said, like Cromwell might have said, after a victory— " Providence has been very good to this land." He might have added—"and it has only been left to Julius Vogel to carry out what Providence has left ' undone." (Laughter.) What were the evidences of true prosperity ? Goldsmith said— - 111 fares the land to hastening woes a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay. It was not only wealth that was wanted, it was a healthy tone of public feeling, purity of commercial and political morality. Did any of these exist in New Zealand? (No). Alas, it was too true. Mr Vogel reminded him of Dryden's description— A man so various that he seemed to be * ot one but all mankind's epitome-

Everything by starts, and nothing long. That in thd course of one revolving moon

Was painter, fiddler, statesman, and buffoon. At the end of the session Mr Vogel had, like his ancestor Isaao, wished for a savory mess, and he had prepared one such as the Heuse of Assembly liked. But the House would find like Isaac that though the voice was Vogel's, the hands were the hands of Stafford. The t.rn of Canterbury and Otago would come next. They would not escape. The inhabitants of the South would find too late that they had in supporting Mr Vogel on his present projects cut their own threats. It was to their own interest to support legis lation of a good general nature. How then was the future to be met. He felt that it was by doing away with all the provincialism and uniting all the colony in one good system of economical and effective government. (Hear, hear.) But Mr Vogel could net much longer continue in his reckless course. Already people had' lost confidence in him. Already in the zenith of his prosperity the fiat had gone forth, and the hand of de3tiny was even now writing on the wall the words mene tnene teJcel upliarsin.

The lecturer sat down, amid loud and con tinued cheering, which was again and again renewed.

Mr Bees in acknowledging the compliment said he hoped that they would accept what he had told them as the truth, and think upon it, and what was more, act upon it.

The meeting then separated after cheers for Mr O'Eorke and Mr Bees had been given.

CITY IMPROVEMENT COMMIS SIONERS.

IMPORTANT MEETING.

A meeting of the City Commission was held this afternoon, the Mayor,, in the chair, when a letteri read fromJMr Kissling with reference to his property, stating that he should make such alterations as he considered necessary, the Boad had neglected to fulfil their part of the engagement. It was agreed that Mr Kissling 's letter be acknowedgcd, and that it would receive-attention on the return of th.6 a-crs^gjjy • from Wellington. In reference to the Improvement Bill, Mr Heale proposed, "If the Hon. Premier will 'only support the Act on condition of the commission ceasing, and its functions being transferred to the City Council. This

Board will not endanger the passing of the Act by offering any opposition to that course. It was suggested by his Worship that the matter stand over until he had received a re ply from Wellington, when he would advise the secretary who would convene another meet ing for a decision upon the matter. The pro posal was agreed to.
