PARLIAMENTARY.

WALLINGTON.

SFBOM OUJB SPECIAL CORRESPON-

YesterclaCidi^^ ./\to general business which is ste^n'/ .ating on the paper. In reply to^-'S- Parker, the M nister of Public Works stated that the Waimate branch railway would be proceeded with as soon as jnaterial could be conveyed along the main |j nei in reply to Mr O'Connor, Mr Richard son said the Waitara and Wanganui-railway would be let as soon as possible in two con tracts. Representation. The chief discussion of the afternoon took place on Mr Murray's motion, that any Bill for the readjustment of representation should be framed as far as possible on the basis of 2000 population for every electorate, except where a district possessing a less population shall comprise 1000 miles, and a population of 1500. The mover spoke well, shewing the evils of pocket boroughs, and the grow ing tendency in that direction in New Zea land. Sir Donald McLean assumed the usual au t-""vtic role which he seems to have adopted, and. said as the Government had intimated their intention to bring down a measure, Mr Murray's motion was an improper one, and should be withdrawn. Sir George Grey and Mr Reeves protested against the manner in which the Government were witholding information respecting their proposed Representation Bill, while certain members were apparently in the secret of the re-distribution. Mr Reeves pointed out the fact that Mr Moorhouse is already seeking the suffrages of Poverty Bay, an electorate not yet in existence. Mr W. Kelly said the Poverty Bay people had petitioned for a member, and asked Mr Moorehouse to stand, but he was not can vassing. Messrs Reid, McGrlashan, Sheehan, May, O'Connor, and Stout spoke in favour of re presentation on the basis of population, and to the present unequal distribution.—Mr Sheehan pointed to Taranaki especially where the population of the whole province did not amount to that of the Thames, yet there were three members. The Colonial Treasurer said the Govern ment would bring down the bill next week if public business was sufficiently advanced (which it is not likely to be), and urged the withdrawal of the motion, which Mr Murray agreed to. Soldiers' Graves. The subject of Soldiers' Graves, which Mr W. Swanson drew attention to early in the session, was again brought up by Mr S. Williams moving for a sum to be placed on the estimate to put the graves in order. Sir Donald McLean promised that the motion should be complied with. Sir George Grey suggested the endowment of an orphanage out of the confiscated lands for the purpose of providing for the widows and children of those who had fallen during the war. Wi Katene and Parata urged that Maoris should be included. The matter was then left in the hands of the Government. The Cospatrick. Mr Murray's motion instructing the Immi gration and Public Works Committee to in quire into the Cospatrick disaster, and take steps to prevent recurrence, was withdrawn upon the statement of Major Atkinson, that everything possible had been done. Hawke's Bay Land Jobbery. The correspondence between Mr Sheehan and the Secretary of Crown Lands upon the subject of Hawke's Bay land transactions was ordered to be produced on the motion of Mr Sheehan.

Mr. Russell's claim, recommended by the Select Committee, was brought up on the motion of Mr. Curtis, to place £616 13s. 4d. on the estimates in the terms of the commit tee's award. He observed that the Supreme Court had decided in Mr. Russell's favour against the Waste Lands Commissioner. Mr. Ormond, of course, endeavoured to defend the Law Officers. The debate on Mr Cnrtis's motion was adjournsd for a week. Timber Rights. Sir George Grey, in moving for the corres pondence on behalf of the Shortland Sawmill Company relative to the acquisition of timber rights, said he believed the Government had passed an Act specially for the benefit of this Company. Mr Rolleston also de clared his opinion that such was the case. Sir Donald McLean denied that any Act had been passed for the benefit of a com pany. The motion for the production of the correspondence was agreed to.

LAST NIGHT.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.)

Telegram Copyright Bill

The House last night was mainly occupied with business of little general interest. Some discussion emued upon the Telegraph Mes : sages Copyright Bill, moved by Mr Harrison. He explained that the object of the bill was to protect newspapers or persons who pro cured news at considerable expense, by pre venting that news being appropriated by papers contributing nothing towards iis cost. He referred to the law in Victoria, by which the Melbourne Argus obtained a perpetual injunction against a certain piratical paper. The bill protected news for only forty-eight hours.

Mr Eeeves said that, although the bill affected the interests of newspaper pro prietors he was not aware the mover was acting on their behalf. He thought the bill uncalled for, and that it should have been entitled an Act to protect the Press Tele graph Agency. He was not going into the way in which the ageDcy business was carried on, but in all probability by the time this colony was in communication with Europe and America another mode, one more in accordance with the require ments of the colony would be adopted, and when that time arrived perhaps it would be necessary to protect newspapers in their rights as far as telegrams were concerned. The Bill now was premature, unnecessary and uncalled for. He objected to the penalty clauses as they would fall entirely upon the minor newspapers of the colony, and he was confident that it was not the desire of larger newspaper pro prietors to pass such a law. He moved that the Bill be read that day six months. Mr T. L. Shepherd could not understand one newspaper representative saying the bill was necessary, and another that it was not. Evidently] more information was wanted on the point. Ho suggested that the bill be submitted to a select committee. He tb ought it unfair for the enterprising papers to bear heavy telegraphic costs, and other papers be allowed te copy from them with impunity.

Mr Steward said there waa no doubt tue grams were the most valuable part of papers, and the Victorian Parliament thought it but right to protect enterprise in that direction. The bill might not be necessary just now, but it would be when we were in telegraphic communication with Europe. He would not like to see the bill thrown out. The mover ought to have consulted the newspaper pro prietors before introducing the bill, and to door'), him the opportunity of still doing so, [after -ioved the adjournment for a week. S*oll' was °PP ose(i to all monopoly, thby,i e '.j he thought there might; be some necessity for encouraging and protecting newspapers where they went to great expense in procuring news. •Mx. O'Conor opposed the bill altogether. Who asked for it ? News would come to the

country and be paid for. The House should hot interfere. He supported the member for Selwyn.

Mr Luckie said it was asking for what was impossible. News was free as air and could not be protected. For instance what was to prevent him picking up a piece of valuable protecred news in the street and introducing it into his speech in that House, and then telegraphing where he liked as part of his speech ? It was impossible to copyright news, and what good was it 48 hours after. He believed the member for Grey Valley represented the Press Agency in the matter. Mr Balland regretted that a conference of newspaper proprietors had not been con sulted in the bill. They might then have agreed upon some kind of measure. He agreed with the principle of Copyright H. The member for Nelson was wrong, stating it was impossible to protect telegrams. Reuters Agency was a case in point. Several times that had been made a test question, but Reuter always successfully defended his right. It was wrong that one paper should take the telegrams of another without pay ing. He supported the adjournment of the debate, that some alteration will be made in the bill. Adjourned for a week. The House rose at 12.30

THE POULTRY EXHIBITION.

To-mobuow and Saturday the new Market will present a livelier aspect than for some weeks past it has exhibited in consequence of the opening of the Auckland poultry ex hibition in the centre of the Market-house. We heartily commend annual exhibitions whether of poultry, animals, fruit, vegetables, and flowers, or of anything that tends to the comfort, convenience, and pleasure of the community at large. The good that such exhibitions produce cannot be completely and accurately computed. The award given on such occasions may be trifling in value, but they are encouraging, and act healthfully upon the mind and sinew of in dustry. Besides by such encouragement we get not only the finest fruits or pictures or animals, or poultry by these shows, but they act as antidotes to that natural in dolence, or rather degeneracy which seems inherent in human nature when without an object and without the stimulating reward. The committee, therefore, and the secre tary, who have been at so much pains and labour in organising the Auckland Poultry Association are entitled to the gratitude of the people generally for their endeavours to improve the breed of animals and the size of poultry. We notice that the prizes for first and second classes are one guinea and half-a-guinea; it is not the simple amount gained, however, with those who study such things, as the honor and feeling of honest pride which every true worker experiences. The show will embrace no less than forty-two diffe rent kinds of fowls, ducks, geese and turkeys. The sum of £20 has been set apart by the Association as special prizes for fowls which may have been imported from beyond the Australasian colonies since September of last year, to be given in sums varying in amounts as specified by posters ; pigeons, canaries, parrots, cockatoos, magpies, rabbits, cats, and dogs. The merits of exhibits in the poultry classes will be determined on the principles laid down in Wright's Illustrated Poultry Book, and pigeons will be judged by Tegelmier's Standard. From the very large number of entries in the different sections, the poultry exhibition of this year seems likely to excel that of tha previous year. Dog-fanciers will, we under stand, find among the various breeds of dogs plenty of substance for discussion. The exhibition will be opened in due form at two o'clock on Tuesday, and at nine o'clock on Saturday morning. The Association, with Sir George Grey, X.C.8., at its head, and an influential committee for its management, will no doubt become one of the permanent institutions ofaithe city. We are requested to state that anything for exhibition only in the Show will be received to-morrow free. The dogs and poultry have been separated in two distinct compartments so that the noise previously arising from that source will not occur this year.

REV. MR. AGNEW'S SECOND LECTURE

The second lecture of the Rev. P. P. Agnew delivered last evening in the City Hall, chiefly on " Cockatoo" Island, near Sydney, was intensely interesting, and it was a matter of regret the audience was so limited. As » lecturer, Mr. Agnew is perfect in his style, every word being uttered with a distinctness which is audible to every per son in the hall, and his descriptive powers are of no mean character. He has a thorough knowledge of the subject he undertakes to explore, and with his own eyes he has witnessed the scenes which he depicts with so much graphic power. His description last evening of the position of Cockatoo Island, was extremely beautiful; he designated the island a gem of beauty set in a sea of silver. The lecture last night, was of a brighter cast than that of Monday, and was at times exceedingly pathetic, at other times humorous, and altogether of a more pleasing character. Mr. Agnew, more over, was in a better cue, as he was suffering on the evening of his first lecture with a severe cold. It is not to be expected that the stern realities of convict life, with which Mr. Agnew has to deal, can be turned into a farce ; subjects which breathe the " still sad music of huma nity, and tells of crueltiee, and savage oppression, and law, apart from justice, dealt out by hands, crimsoned as were those of the drunken, brutal Judge Jeffries, whose charaoter has been so well sketched by the late Lord Macaulay. Mr. Agnew has set himself a task in favour of suffering humanity which he is deter mined fearlessly to execute. His narra tive of the sufferings and death of the genuine Scotchman, John Muir, was more thrilling, than the most sensational romance could possibly be; while the honest Thomas Williams, the quaker, who because he con scientiously objected to taking a Bible oath, was sent into the living tomb, and kept there in the solemn darkness, occasionally brought up and mocked for the religion which he held sacred, and then put back again, until he became a "drivelling idiot," and at last, in the absence of reason, kissed the book clutched the dry bread to keep him from absolute starvation, and then died, was thrust aside, without any enquiry being made as to the cause of death, and all this torture and death because, as * witness, he objected to take the oath. Specimens of convict speeches, thetemperancefamily, the Frenchman's story, Jack-in-the-box, and last, the imprisoned bar ber, whose great ambition (while a prisoner) was the desire to bite the warder's aoße off, because he himself was deficient in the facial ornament. After this man's release, he turned over a new leaf, and is now a respectable hairdresser in Sydney, and never likely to return to Cockatoo Island. The barber's "Farewell Ode," which the lecturer read, was one of the most perfect poems that we have listened to for a long time. In point of description, it was equal to Byron, and (in plaintiff music) equal to Moore, and this is no exaggeration. The rev. gentleman's lec ture was frequently cheered, and at the close he announced, that on Friday night his subject would relate to bushrangers, when statements would be made which he should hardly dare to make in Sydney, and he hoped he should have a larger audience, not on his own account, but in order that he might have the opportunity of giving utterance to important truths which might have a happy influence.

His Excellency the Governor, the Marquis of Normanby, has signified hia pleasure in* accepting the Presidency of tho Auckland Turf Club,
