Violent Storm

A violent storm swept Whangarei between six and eight last night. It came on suddenly, accompanied with forked lightning and hail. The Comet says : " The stornj broke in upon nsfromN.W., then passed away to the E. obliquely. A lull intervened which was super seded byaheavy fall of hail from hugebanks of clouds haDging over our heads, which threat ened utter annihilation, while considerably westward of the zenith the moon was shining on t, the splendour of whose tinted rays formed a golden edge to the black clouds. Th scene was awfully grand. The thunder and lightning were incessant."

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

WELLINGTON.

{From cur own Correspondent.) This day. A Younjg Seaman Missing. t ;j A young seartfan named Scott left the ship a |ew nights ago in a mysterious jSamjer^ li*ypearc the youth waß well-con nepted at home, and his father sent out for him, telling him to come home and where to apply for the where-withal. He asked the captain for his discharge, which was refused. That night he disappeared, and next morning an oar and ship's rudder were found on the te«d!h. The sailor has not been seen since, A bafc.it is pretty well known that he is lj in£ perdu till the vessel leaves. Decline in the Demand for Coastirg

Judging by the signs of the times, coasting ei»ft,i{,6uch as brigantines, brigs, and schooners, bid fair to be at a discount sharUy; Several new coasting steamers have been introduced here lately, and several HWre a*e to be here shortly, besides less <»ks*'which are to be ordered from home. •Kb fewer than four are at present destined to nra"- between Wellington and Napier, bat as that is more than there is any /trade for, some of them will haj«e'' i to go into competition on 8om« -«wef' stretch of coast. Live freight is coming S»wii s6 low now that the regular coasters tetwtfip Bunedin, Lyttelton and Wellington that have been in that trade for years, are now compelled to draw off. The Newcastle colliers are cow doing the bulk of that business, as it pays them when it would not pay the regular trader. The collier dis charges coals at Lyttelton, then takes in grain for Wellington or elsewhere, and after discharging it proceeds on her voyage for more coals. The Canterbury, schooner, was put up the other day, and there waß a re serve ef only £500 upon her, but as none of the bids approached it, she was withdrawn from Bale. A lot more will soon be in the market. The'Hawea and Taupo are such capacious carriers that they seldom go away quite full, and never have to refuse cargo. It is stated that the N.Z.S.S. Co. is making overtures to them to amalgamate, but the effort is not expected to be successful. The Little Steam Launch Condemned. The little steam launch recently built at Auckland for Wellington harbour, for the conveyance of immigrants between Soames' Island and the city, is a pretty little toy, and would answer well for the silver streets of Venice, but she is no earthly use for Wel lington. She does not appear to be able to carry more than half-a-dozen statute adults forward of the engine, for if they stood aft wliere they ought to do, their weight wtrald put her stern flush with the water. H ever she ventures out in a rough breeze she must go down for a certainty. She carries just water enough for steaming between the island and the city and back, and should she be impeded by heavy weather she will only have enough for half the trip. She is con- Bidered a Waste of public money.

Abolition Meeting.

A public meeting was held last evening re the Government proposal for the abolition of the provinces. The following resolution moved by Mr. Woolcock, Provincial Secre tary, and seconded by Mr Guinness, M.P.C., was carried unanimously:—"That this meeting is strongly favourable to the aboli tion of the provinces throughout New Zea land, and heartily approves of the bill intro duced by the Government for that purpose." The second resolution, • also unanimously carried, was —" That this meeting regrets that the member for Grey Valley District, knowing, as he must do, the strong feeling that exists in this constituency in favor of the abolition of the provinces, has not hitherto given any intimation of his intention to support the Bill introduced by the Govern ment to effect that purpose." The meeting was one of the largest ever held in the Grey district.

WANGANUI.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day.

A public meeting was held last night, the Mayor in the chair. A resolution was pro posed : That, in the opinion of this meeting, the abolition of the provinces and local go vernment bills, are calculated to produce better colonial and local administration, to promote settlement, and to remove the dis content of outlying districts and the consti tuency. Further, earnestly hopes these measures will be carried this session.

Mr Field, engineer to Eoad Boards was for abolition but could not approve of the measures. He was cried down and bis reso lution ruled out of order.

The amendment was then put and carried by a large majority, only four hands being shewn for Mr. Field's resolution. The amendment having become the resolution, was carried unanimously, and a copy is to be telegraphed to Mr Bryce, the member. The greatest unanimity prevailed.

PARLIAMENTARY.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPON DJSNTJ

Flatness of Politics

Politics of the Times just now seem to be very rebellious, neither flesh nor fowl, nor good red herring. The Post also displays coneidei able oscillation. One night it swears by Grey, and another pumps dirty water upon him. The Tribune goes straight for the Government, but not at a very telling rate.

Ehymes for the Times

The Times publishes the following lines :— How happy could I be with Pollen ? "Were 'tother grey charmer away. But since they are both so enthralling I am placed 'twixt two bundles of hay. Last year I was eager to polish All tne provinces off in a day, But now I must say to sbo'.ish In an unconstitutional way. Provincialism looked black as night, And Centralism bright as day ; But at present though black ia not white, It is rapidly changing to Grey. The vacancy by Mr Tolmie's Death. Mr Stout, M.P.C., is expected to be brought forward for the seat rendered vacant by Mr Tolmie's death. It is not thought he will be opposed. The Herald correspondent telegraphs: " The Government anticipates a majority of fifteen to twenty for the second reading; and many believe that after- the second reading the Government will not press the Abolition Bill further.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The usual fortnightly meeting of the Harbour Board took place this afternoon. There were present Messrs Cosgrave, Eaton, Tole, Brett, Buchanan, M. Niccol, Boylan. In the absence of the Chairman, Mr. Boy lan was voted to the chair. PETITI6N FKOM THE CARTERS. The following letter from the carters on the Queen-street Wharf was read :— "To the Chairman and Members of the Auckland Harbour Board,—We the under signed beg respectfully to call the attention of the Harbour Board and submit for its con sideration at its next meeting th§ unsatisfac tory position in which we are now placed : limited by law to carry only 30 cwt., as a load of goods, to and from the Queen-street' Wharf. We would respectfully suggest that 35 or 40 cwt., be substituted, for this reason : the road to and from the wharf is level and good, and the load of 40cwt. is not, in our opinion, too heavy for the horses, nor would it prove in any way more detrimental to the wharf than the load of 30cwfc., and would prevent our unintentionally breaking the law, which is now sometimes the case as the greater number of loads are guessed at for the reason that there are no means at arriving at the exact weight at the receiving end of the wharf. Should the Board not accede to this our request, and 60 cwt is to be the limit by law, we beg to re quest an alteration in the tolls proportionate to fche increase, otherwise we as forwarding acents will be be compelled to increase oar charges to our customers, which they con sider quite heavy enough. We subscribe ourselves : Joseph Craig, Jaggar and Parker, W G. Winstone, Anderson and Co., W. Smith, Hi Elliott, and James Butcher." A discussion ensued, and Mr Hold ship moved and Mr D. H. McKenzie seconded, that the loads be limited to 2 tons. This was put to the meeting and earned.

ADVERTISING.

A letter from George Jones, jun., was read asking for a share of the Board's advertising. j&Mr. Cosgrave said there was a committee to settle such matters, and he therefore moved that the request be referred to the Finance Committee, with power to act. This was seconded, and carried. THE BREAKWATER.

A correspondence respecting Messrs Walsh and McCabe's method of carrying out their contract for widening the Britomart Breakwater.

From the letters it appeared that the Engineer had found fault with the cen tractors work, and that on receiving a letter from the Secretary of the Board the con tractors had written to the Board statiDg that their work was of a superior character to that contracted for. At a meeting of the Works Commit tee it had been determined that the engineer was right, and the contractors wrong. A reference to Messrs Wbitaker and .Russell had produced a letter stating that the contractor had their power to recover for superior work under the 6th clause of the agreement, and suggested that the Board might employ another engineer to give his opinion on the work.

The Chairman and Mr Tole were of opinion that the contractors, having arrived at deep water, found the work heavier, and were now anxious to get rid of their contract and leave the Board in the lurch.

Mr McKenzie advocated the appointment of another engineer. Mr Eaton thought it would be necessary to appoint two more, if any. Mr Holdbhip moved that the contractors be written to and asked to state their grievance definitely. CUTTER. FANNIES FINE. The Harbour-Master'a report on an appli cation from Mr Dufaur on behalf of Captain JRicketts for a remission of fine was read. The report stated that Mr Dufaur's version was a correct one, but did not see how the fine could be remitted, as a previous applica tion had been refused.

gjj£lt was proposed by Buchanan, and se conded by Mr Niceol, tJat the report be adopted. Mr Coegrave moved, and Mr Brett se conded, that, under the circumstances, half of the tine be remitted. HjThe amendment was carried. „„ ... finance. The report of the Finance committe was read and confirmed. Watson's contract. Mr.' Watson's time for constructing 200 eet of the wharf was extended five weeks. DBBBNTUBES OP 1860. In accordance with a recommendation from the Finance Committee, it was resolved that the negotiations for the payment of the 18G0 debentures be left in the bauds of the Chairman. TENDERS.— SILT POTTS. For constructing two hopper silt punts, five tenders were received. Mr Thomas Riccol's tender of 993£ for the two was accepted. CLEANING SILT BASINS. For cleaning out the eastern silt basin, three tenders were received, and that of Messrs. Jones and Vare for £247 10s accepted, subject to the appioval of the City Council. THE MAIN SEWEE. Mr Buchanan moved that it is desirable the main sewer at Queen-street wharf should be carried into deeper water. Ultimately it was agreed to defer consider ation of the subject till the return of the Chairman.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

THIS AFTEENOON.

Napier Swamp Bill. In the House of Keprestatives at 2.30, Mr Ormond moved the second reading of the Napier Swamp Nuisance Bill, the object being to enable the Swamps to be improved by filling in or otherwise, and by the Co operation, and to recover from owners of sections. The bill read a second time.

A number of petitions were presented, and notices of motion made.

Revenue Tables.

Mr Reynolds laid several papers on the the table relating to revenue imports, exports and marine department. The latter paper set forth in detail all that had been done regarding lighthouses during the past year. Mr Montgomery was understood to give notice to ask to-morrow for a statement of the amount charged upon each province for sums expended by the General Government on railways.

The other business was merely formal,
