PARLIAMENTARY.

WELLINGTON,

(This day. The report on excise duties brought up , tts ifcat to inj^p&'itely adopt the proposal rheGoveißA/^V 4' \s not consistent with <kfaith Li—-' •-■' 'ientto stop distillation rtie» >' * •resstfceir willingness to \ ■> the Government should I <fSe»TOw'<**v, a with them on equitable Id "*•• Jf*** \ tC Mr Webster v '^nted leave of absence i the remainder the session. | f0 THE FORESTS BILL. At the evening sitting of the House Mr fieid oppose *Qe second reading of the Forest Bill. He deprecated making the uestipn as one between the provinces and |jL co lony, and condemned the measure as f n itab]e and uncalled for. The control of forests was better left in the hands of the ! roviuces, which could effect the object j jL re economically. He hoped the Bill \ ff oßld be withdrawn. ! jf r Yogel, in replying, commented very severely upon the Superintendent of Wel jjDgton, who practised "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain." Whatever land was proposed to bo taken from Welling ton would be considerably less than that ! province had been voluntarily presented i with by the colony some time ago. All Wellington seemed to care about was to get I jntoas much debt as possible, and then come j to the General Government for assistance. I ft? as better for the Colonial Government to | foe a constable than be a detective j better to ' the affairs of the province at once I ib«n De obliged to be a watch dog over it. I The Bill was misunderstood. He did not I want to interfere with the existing forest ! interests, and as for the Government inter fering with private interests it was quite the reverse, They did not want to strip the provinces of the best of their land. They only wanted reeky and sundy I places for planting forests. He touched f Mr Sheehan sarcastically by shewing I that owing to the bad way Auckland timber

I was shipped to Victoria the Baltic pine com- I manded a higher price than kauri, and a comparjy was actually being got up in Mel bourne to export Auckland timber and send it into the market in a superior condition to the way it was exported from Auckland. He contrasted Mr Gillies and Mr Stafford as

leaders, aiid said the former could see no good in anything proposed by his political opponents. He looked upon the speech of Mr. Fitzherbert as remarkably impudent considering that the General Government spent nearly £80,000 in Wel liDgton during the last five years, while the amount raised by the province was only £156,000 during three years. It was better they should take charge of the province at once. Taking the whole of the North Island the General Government spent nearly three million and a-half in it during the, last five years, and nearly two millions and a-half during the last three years, while all tho provinces of the island raised only £448,000, what answer could they give but that they should all be swept away. Owing to the large expenditure in the North Island of Government money they were obliged to spend large sums in the Middle Island which properly should have been paid by the province. If the Govern ment had too much to do it was look ing after the provinces that could not look after themselves. It was monstrous that the colony should not have the assistance of the land revenue of the colony—that the land revenue should in fact be outlawed, while the consideration they asked for were accorded private individuals. Three per cent, of the lands should not interfere in any way with private enter prise. He proposed however to reduce the clauses of the Bill to twelve, and to introduce a clause by which the provinces should be invited voluntarily to hand over to the colony certain lands for State forest purposes. He could see how without this measure public works could be converted into a curse'rather than a blessing. The Bill was read a second time and ordered to he committed on Friday.

The New Zealand University Bill was re ported with amendments. The Merchant Shipping Act Adoption Bill was passed. The second reading of the Harbour Works Bill waa opposed and adjourned. The Naval Training Schools Establishment Bill was read a second time, Mr T. B. Gillies seconding the measure as a very good and exceedingly well drawn up one. The House adioumed at 11.30.

Isaacs and Henry Brett, Esqs., took their Beats as new members, the former gentleman by virtue of his office as Mayor «md the latter gentleman as Chairman of tho Parnell Highway Board. LETTERS. A letter was read from Mr Alexander Campbell asking for an extension of the lease of his allotment near Wynyard-street. Mr Heale suggested that unless some benefit should arise to the street he could lee no reason for granting the application. He would therefore move : —" That as it did aot appear that the applicant proposed to execute any work for the benefit of j the estate, there was no ground for granting the application.

Seconded by Mr Mitford, and carried. A letter was read from Mr. William Sutton, requesting the Board to grant • him a lease of allotment No. 19, Grafton-road, at £o per annum. The. application was granted subject to the usual conditions.

An application respecting the leasing of an allotment in the Bowling Green was read, and after some discussion it was resolved on the motion of Mr Heale, seconded by Mr •Fenton, and carried—"That the Commis sioners reoover possession of the piece of land adjoining the Bowling G reea, and that Messrs Fenton and Hughes be requested to *ct as a sub-committee to carry out the resolution."

LEASE OF WATEBWOBK3. The Secretary informed the Board that the

lease of the waterworks had been prepared and forwarded to His Honor the Superin tendent, EEPOET. Messrs Kissling and Hughes' report with reference to the planting of trees round the spring on the western portion of the Domain was referred to and allowed to stand over for future consideration. SUE COMMITTEE. Mr Fenton made reference to the poplar and gum trees in the Domain, and said they impoverished paits of the soil. Mr Heale moved " That Mr Brett and Mr Fehton should form a sub-committee for the cutting down and removal of blue gums and poplars where unnecessary." KOTICE OF MOTION".

At the next sitting Mr Heale will move : "That his Honor the Superintendent be requested to execute the necessary conveyance to the Domain Road of the position of the Hospital Reserve, authorized by the Pro vincial Council. This was all the business.

ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY.

I The performance of Flotow's " Martha " last night drew one of the largest audiences that has assembled within the walls of the Prince of Wales Theatre during the season. The opora is a deservedly popular one, abounding in brilliant concerted pieces and songs and airs that have become familiar among our national household lyrics. Miss Alice May held her audience spell-bound during her rendering of that most beautiful melody the "Last Rose of Summer." The operatic accompaniment is true to the air of the song, forming a refreshing contrast to the mur derous variations with which some composers have chosen to overlay the simple ballad air. Miss Lambert fulfilled the role of Nancy in a charming, piquant way, embodying the very image of the Nancy which the author must have had in view. •Mr Hallam as Lionel, and Mr Templeton as Plunkett, have never appeared to better advantage than they did last night, and the applause with which their efforts were repeatedly greeted shewed that they were not unappreciated. Mr Vernon played the part of the foolish fidgety, Sir Tristram, with great success. Richmond fair, with its buffooneries, was irresistibly funny, and reflected credit on the scenic artist and mechanist. To-night will be re - produced the Eossini'a charming opera of " Cinderella.

The management have very liberally reduced the prices for the remaining nights of the present week, and judging by the patronage last night we anticipate a crowded attend ance, more especially as the operas chosen for performance are the most popular of the series produced by the company in Auckland.
