PARLIAMENTARY.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRES PONDENT J

WELLINGTON.

This day Bills. In the House yesterday afternoon various bills weie advanced. Considerable discussion ensued on the Debtoiß and Creditors' Bill second readiDg. In replying, Mr. Bowen said there was a good deal of misconception regarding the Act. When considering the question of bankruptcy, it was asked how the case would stand if the bankruptcy law were done away with. Then imme dietely cropped up the question of how to deal with fraudulent bankrupts. As the present Jaw was based upon a great many •wrong principles, the objection was intro ducing that Act to establish the law upon a fresh basis altogether. At present a fraudulently-inclined trader had an im mense power over his creditor, by the facility with which he could seek the aid of the Insolvency Court, and became "white washed." Be could hold that over his credi tors' heads like a weapon. The hon. gentle man defended the permissions of the bill a<J considerable length. Referring to after acquired property being liable, he said that after most careful enquiry he could not find an instance of the abuse of that privilege. He had no particular desire to force the bill upon them without any alteration, but he con sidered it would be very odd if, amongst so many business men they could not make the bill a good measure while in committee. A division was called for by Mr. MURRAY, which resulted in the bill being ordered to be committed, by 34 to 23. The bill was advanced to clause 26. Unjust Telegraph Charges. Sir George Grey presented a petition from the proprietors of the Evening Star, Auck land, against the inequality of the present telegraph tariff. The speaker ruled that the petition being printed could cot be received. Sir George Grey asked for permission to lay it on the table, which was granted. The Government has promised to take the subject into consideration. If they fail to _ afford relief a resolution will be moved in the House. The substance of the petition is as fol jowa . " That the petitioners feel that they in common with others, proprietors of even ing journals published in New Zealand, suffer an injustice by reason .of the unequal inci dence of the tariff of the Telegraph Depart ment. That at present the rate of charges for the transmission of Press Telegrams is two pounds one shilling and eightpence per thousand words for telegrams transmitted during the day, and ten shillings and three pence per thousand words for telegrams given into the 'J elegraph-office between five and eight o'clock at night; a limit of two hundred words per day being permitted during the day at night rates to evening journals. That in the exercise of their calling as journalists, the petitioners have required as many aa many as three thousand rive hundred words during a day, their telegrams from one p^ace alone —the Thames Goldfields —ha ping ordinarily exceeded the limit of two hundred words ; and must continue to do so if the charge were quadrupled. That the ostensible reason for this excessive and unequal tariff during the day is in order to keep the wires clear for ordinary messages, but that this result cannot be effected in this way is apparent from the fact that, however oppressive and unjust the rate, .the petition era have been obliged to obtain messages to an extent reaching even to the number of words above mentioned, although undir a keen sense of wrong from being placed in sach a position of unfair competition with morning journals in getting telegraphic news; while results have proved that a high tariff has not effected, nor can it effect, the object for which it was professedly framed. That, through the blockage of the wires, telegrams given into the telegraph office during the early portion of, and generally throughout, the day are often delayed in delivery until after the hour of publication, when, although valueless as aforesaid, they are charged to your petitioners at full day rates. That, although instructions have been given by the petition ers to all their agents to employ to the great est possible extent the night tariff, notwith standing this and the enjoying of the two hundred word allowance per day the iujutzs tice suffered by the Stab as compared with the morning journals will be manifest from the following few examples of the amounts actually paid by the Stab on certain days for telegrams, placed side by side with the cost of the same services to the morning papers : —

That if any reason existed for raising the tariff to keep the wires clear, the rates staoulid have been raised uniformly, so as not to give special advantages to one class of journa la over another ; that no special injustice woul d have been done if Press Telegrams had bee >n raised to sixpence a word uniformly to all ; that it would have been a mere question ()f expenditure, and all must have borne it alik- b That the claim of Press Telegrams to con gideration will be seen from the fact tkat under the present system of sending Press Telegrams through the medium of one Agency the Department often gets paid twice, tlmce, and sometimes four times for the one mea -Bage by different papers in one place, and ira this way receives for many day Press mes sages the ordinary fare for private telegrams. That in view of the foregoing manifest in* justice, your Petitioners would respectfully submit that it would be a very reasonable! concession to make to evening journals that; the limit of two hundred words might bes extended to at least one thousand, as the-, number that might be received by them dur ing the day at the night rates, which am available to an unlimited extent to the morn ing papers ; and secondly, that any messages; given in to the Telegraph Office at a reason able time, and not delivered until Taluelese* because after the hour of publication, may be declined by, the evening journal or, if accepted, may be paid for at night rates. That the following table will show how reasonable such concession of a thousand Words would be, and how unequally weighted an evening journal -would still be as compared with a morning contemporary. Taking the messages received by the Star on the dates before given, and allowing 1,000 words at night rates, the following would be the amounts to be paid : —

From this table it will be seen that even with an an allowance of 1,000 words at night rates, an enterprising evening journal would be unequally handicapped as against the morning papers, while the rapidly increasing ratio of cost would be ample to protect the department from any obstruction which it does not at present suffer.

LAST NIGHT.

[Per Press Telegram Agency.]

Stamp Duties. The House re-assembled at 7.30. Progresß was reported on the Debtors and Creditors Bill. Stamp Duties Bill was ad vanced as far as clause 107. The following clauses were postponed :—From 60 to 53 in clusive, which relate, to the stamping of

appointments ; also, clause 66, relating to bills of lading; clause 89, relating to stamping of mortgages, was struck out. Considerable opposition was raised to clause 96, dealing with policies of sea insurance, which was postponed, the Go vernment promising in the meantime to obtain all possible information as to the amount of revenue derived from that source, and stating if they found the tax to be harassing and only realised a trifling amount, they would strike it out; but declined to strike out that and all other clauses bearing on the matter until that information had been obtained. The Bills of Sale Bill passed on the motion of Mr Reid. Con sideration of the amendments made by the Legislative Council in tbe Otago Waste Lands Act Amendment Bill, was postponed till 'I uesday next. Re -distribution of Representation- Mr Bowen moved the second reading of the Representation Bill, in a comparatively brief speech, the burthen of which was that the Government did not think it advisable at present to do more than rectify any glaring irregularities in the representation of the colony, feeling that they could not well deal with the whole question of re-distribution of representation until the colony had been laid out in shape. The attempt to deal with the question now would seriously retard the next elections. The Government, however, would be prepared to consider in committee any sug gestions from members to impvove the bill, and members were requested to give early notice of any suggestions in that direction. Sir George Grey took great objection to the bill as most unfairly drawn up. Instead of attempting to give representation according to population, it was not only perpetuating the old standing injustice, but absolutely | increasing ib. He objected to Hawkes' Bay and Timaru getting increased representation and Taranaki being allowed to retain its three members, and attributed the latter solely to that province being well represented on the Government benches.

Mr. Cuthbertson moved the adjournment of tbe debate.

The bill provides for the following new members :—Thames, 1 member ; Napier, l!jj; Grey Valley, 1 ; Tiniam, 1 ; Hokitika. 1 ; Waitaki, 1 : City of Dunedin, 1. The City of Christchurch districts as constituted under this Act shall, in addition to the members now returnable for the districts of " City of Christchurch East" and " City of Christ church West," return one member. Clause G. The electoral districts of "City of Christ church East" and "City of Christchurch West," as now constituted under the said 4cl;s, shall together form one electoral district, and be called by the name of "City of Christchurch district." The electoral districts of " Auckland City Eat>t" and " Auckland City West," as now constituted under the said Acts, shall together form one district, and be called by t.he name of the •' Auckland City District." The present rolls are to be affirmed as correct and supple mentary ones added to them.

Supply. The House v/ent into Supply upon the estimates, cl;iss six dealing with native appro priations. All the items under that head were passed without reduction or alteration. The House adjourned at 12.30.

A piece of water-washed gold-bearing stone was found yesterday in the creek, near Whangarei. Similar pieces have been found previously from time to time, but nothing was ever seen of a likely reef. The stone looks well. It is particularly hard, and shows no sign of mundic. The specks of gold are of the best quality in appearance. Dr Hector has said that gold would be found at Whangarei Heads, being a continuation of the mountain range from Cape Colville. Where the stone alluded to was found is in an' entirely different range.

A destructive lire occurred in George-street this morning at two o'clock. Robertson and Scott's, drapers, shop was burned to the ground. The police and town's people rendered every assistance in saving goods, but owing to a scarcity of water, the amount saved was not large. Scott is insured in the New Zealand offiuo. Robertson, who has just commenced business, was unfortunately not

insured

Mysterious Drowning Case at Onchunga.

An extraordinary case of drowning took place at Onehuuga this morning between ten and eleven o'clock. At that time tho persons who happened to be in the neighbourhood of the wharf were startled by hearing agonising shrieks, proceeding from the water near the outer end of the pier. The sounds appeared to come from under neath the wharf, and the words, co far as they could be distinguished in their inco herency were : " Save mo ! oh, save me !" A general rush took place to the spot from all quarters, and one of the sailor belonging to the Ladybird, which was lying at the wharf, jumped into the water to the rescue after only divesting himself of his coat and boots. Tbe tide was coming in at the time, and the force of the stream through the piles was very great. By the time the anxioua hearers of the cries had arrived on the spot all was quitt, and though the swimmer remained in the water for gome time, nothing could he discover of the un fortunate person from whom the sounds had proceeded. At length a rope was thrown to him, and the man, now greatly exhausted in his efforts to stem the current, was taken ashore. The great question was then raised aa to who it was who had thus suddenly met a watery grave. It was a most sirvilar scene, as each looked earnestly \ und to see whether a friend was missin;'. Up to a cousiderable time after the accident no clue to the missing pei son was discovered. ftobody had seen anyone fall from the wharf, and no one could say that he had missed a friend. The event, as may be imagined, caused great excitement in the port. ??;Latest reports say that no clue, to the mystery has been obtained. Perhaps some ventriloquist has been playing a practical joke.

AMUSEMENTS.

THE PRTNCE OF WaTJES THEATRE

The beit comedy in the English language—as the " Hchool for Scandal " h.ig been termed by a high authority— was produced last ni.ht by the Company now playing at the Hrince of Wales Theatre. W« could not expe t that such an exacting piece would be placed on the stage in such a manner a» to leave nothing to he desired; but taking the many difficulties into consideration, we must congratulate Mirs Carry George nnrl htr coadjutors upon their so/cess. There was a good house but at the commencement the andlence were unsympathetic. Duiing the progress of tha play, however, they warmed up considerably, and by the time the screen scene was arrived at were thoroughly en rapport with the performers, who played up towards the climax with great spirit Miss Carry George as Lady Ttazle rather surprised us. We must confess that we had ai rived at the con clusion that deep pathos was that lady's strong point, and should cerwinly not have selected Lady Teazle as a part she was lilcely to make a hit in: but we find ourselves altogether mistaken The delightful, teasing, tormenting, provoking, captivating coquette, has not been better played in > ucklaud than it was last night. The character was thoroughly hit off, and all the legitimate points taken advantage of, and there was in addition that freshness and timch of originality about the impersonation which dis tinguishes genius from mere accurate copying of great examples. The Larty Teazle of Miss Oorge was in every respect a portraiture of which the artist may be proud. Mrs Candour, by Mrs C. Hearle, was well c<nceived, and bvolved in a consistent and pains taking manner, as all this lady's parts are. Miss Emma Rogers was quite and characteristically modest as Maria. Mr lawrence played the difficult roleof Charles Surface sufficiently wtll to gain much ap plause, but it is hardly to be reckoned his best cha racter. In MrO. Searle's Sir Peter, there was con siderable talent displayed The fault if we may be allowed to point one out, in this gentleman's acting is want of reprse In his conscientious efforts to make the most of a part he is at times tempted to overstep the limit of moderation. We trust that this hint will be taken note of, for it is given in the pure spirit of friendliness and with the intention of removing a blemish from an actor who is making steady but marked advancement in his professisn Mr. Collier as Joseph Surface had a thankless part to play but he played it well for all that. It may bo rather an equivocal compliment, bat this gentleman acts a villain very naturally. Mr. Tom Burton's Sir Oliver was a performance of some merit, a remark which also applies to fam Poole's Crabtree, and Mosps The others did their best. To-night Macbeth is an nounced, with Locke's music.

BARLOW'S CIRCUS.

Many months have passed since the people of this city have had an opportunity of witnessing feats of horsemanship and acrobatic exorcises on a grand scale, a. circus in Auckland invariably meet* with a large amount of patronage in Auckland aod the issues are mostly of a satisfactory nature. Times are not over brisk generally, hence something with features new have the effect of dispell ng real or imaginary glooms. Barlow'a circns has had thousands of admirers in Melbourne and the < ther cities and towns of Australia and New South Wales, and if criticism may be taken as a guarantee of success then Barlow's grand equestr aa performances by the mam moth stud of Lilliputian horses and juvenile riders form one of the we nders nf th* nineteenth century The large pavilion will be fixed on the site adjoining the ma'ket house, with entrance from Wellesley-streel and will be opened on the evening of Monday next. The horses are of the most splendid description and the riders are "Cremona," the beautiful and intelli gent Arab boy; also Selim, the wraderful, who will repeat those dari'g Jeaps through hoops and fire balloons, which astonished the settlers in Melbourne. Young Eomn" is known as the prince of juvenile eqnestnans and performs in trie most perfect manner his vaulting act and admired two horse scene. • 'thera will perform feats of acrob-tism, tumbling and con torti n. The Australian Grimaldi will bring in his monster troupe of educated doKS and dancing mon keys. Barlow's entertainment is reported as one of the moat xmusing and instructive, that has ever been presented in the s-mthern hemisphere and it will no doubt, still succeed in winning public favour.

BINNEY, FAVORED with instructions from Captain Henry Burton, will sell by auction, on the ground, on Wednesday, the 13th October, at 12 o'clock, the follomng-splendid properties:— Hobson and Cook-streets : 13 Building Allotments. Very Superior 12-roomed Dwelling - house, Coach-house, Stable, &c, and Section on which same are situate. Nelson-street : 7 Building Allotments. This is a chance rarely to be met with for persons to acqnire Freeholds in the (Sty, so close to the main centres of population, with all the advantages of the suburbs. Among others which thisproper> posesesseo are the following :— The construction of the Graving Dock on the re claimed ground at the foot of Hobson-sr^et; the con tinuation of Custom-house-street to Nelsen and Hob son-str«ets, the whole to be properly graded. The Harbour Board reclamation in Freeman's Bay —all being now undertaken, and in course of <omi>le tion, —alike point to the certainty of an increase in value of the properties immediately in the neighbour hood of these improvements.
