whole thing was illegal entirely, that it must ie done in daylight.) Mr W. Atkin, who vas' just in the act of handing in'proxies, turned round, and ad dressing Mr Thorne said, "You do not dc"" 1/ tte*, honour of the proxies, I sent ? I / "" a : We don't know about that. / SM'me : Yes ; I may, I may suggest gtiJ . v . .bg. Mr Atkin : Yhy should you suggest such a thing ? Why should you hatch such a thing in yonr imagination ? Mr Thorne : I have a perfect right to. If they are all right, why should you be afraid of them? Mr Atkin : I certainly should be afraid o f yon. Mr Atkin put in his proxies, B everal of which were objected to. The Chairman said that all objections should be afterwards enquired into. He had been adrised that a proxy signed by power of attorney was invalid, but that would be a question for the scrutineers and himself afterwards, and if the proxies objected to would not effect the voting if thrown out, no action upon them would be neccessary. Mr Dowden objected to being called upon to settle legal points. Mr Thorne said that he had been at the trouble of obtaining Mr McCormack's opinion' j[r Thorne gave a summary of the . decision which was handed to the chairman and was read at isDgth as follows .—lf proxy forms are signed and witnessed without the persons name who is to exercise the proxies are they legal? I think the proxies signed by a ratepayer without his appointing at the same time the person he intends to vote for him is bad—(a voice : That question does notarise!) —because the ratepayer does not in fact appoint a proxy, but deputes the power of appointment to the person to whom he gives the blank paper. The proxy form should he put into the representative hand of the ratepayer who signs it. I think the Chairman, if satisfied that proxies were not in accordance with the Act, should reject them, but this course must be adopted with caution, and in the case of a dispute whether the proxy is Ayalid or not, the Chairman should accept it, but make a note upon it that it has been objected to, with a view to a view to any proceedings to dispute the elections. The Chairman: That is exactly what I have done. Are proxies signed by a legally-appointed attorney of ratepayers valid ? I think not. The Act seems to provide expressly the power of appointing a proxy to vote. See section 12, and I think only the ratepayers can give the proxy. Can the attorney vote in person ? I think not, as he is not a proxy in terms of section 12. Supposing the power of attorney gives him power to vote ? Mr. Tole here said that he considered it unfair to try and force gentlemen to vote one particular way by bringing in a lawyer's opinion. Every gentleman present might have got contrary opinions. The Chairman : I believe that of six, three lawyers would be on one side and three en the other, especially if they got a good fee beforehand. He then resumed reading the opinion, which was as follows : — I think the proxy forms, signed by a ratepayer without appointing the person he intends to vote for, is bad. The Chairman: I consider this last the most important point, and shall ask the proxy-holders to answer it. Jimmy McGnire again called out it was all ilJegaJ, and they ought to adjourn till to morrow night. A Voice: Why ! Jimmy man, that's Sun day, McGnire: No. it isn't. It 's Saturday, and I'll do a good twelve hours' work in it too. A Voice : Why, Jimmy, it 's to-morrow morning now. McGuire : You shut up ! Mr A. Stewart then gave in several proxies. Be said : I tender certain proxies, I Btaie them to be right; but to be ques tioned by the Chairman of this meeting, I will not snbmit.

The Chairman: You will not answer ■whether the proxies were signed in blank or not. Mr Stewart: I will not. I tender the proxies with the the statement that they are right. Of these proxies G. A. Avey's was objected to by Mr Rees, as not having been Bi'gned in tbe presence of a Justice. George Giles, objected to by Mr Thorne, as a bank mpt. A Porter, objected to by Mr Jones, and Henry Hawkins, objected to by Mr Bees, having been signed in blank. Notes were taken on a legion of objections; and the objections became as monotonous as the previous taking of votes. Whilst the "slow" business was being proceeded with, it was as much as most could do to keep awake. Many were smoking, some chatting, otheis dosing in various uncomfortable positions, and the prony holders, and objectors to the proxy's watcbed each others movements with an un tiring vigilance that would ensure rapid pro motion and numerous rewards in any detec tive force. About half-past three in the morning a generous individual volunteered to putthegaß out, but the proposition was not received favourably by either side of the house. At last, all the proxies had been read, and nearly all objected to. The work of recording the votes was then commenced. Mr William Hughes offered, if appointed, to act as judge of proxies ; as he believed himself to be about the squarest dealing man round the room. The services tendered were not however, accepted. Jimmy Maguire pressed his pro posal that breakfast should be ordered, and » Bpecial rate struck for the purpose. Mr. Maguire then had a requisition drawn up for breakfast for all, addressed to "Brown at the Corner," but could not induce the Chair man or any ratepayer, to assume the respon sibly of signing it, when he again vehemently declared that the whole proceedings were nlegal. After this, several legal questions Vere vigorously debated. Shortly before four o'clock a ratepayer gave it as his firm opinion that it was now too late in the morn "g to be prepared for the Provincial Council, and desired that the meeting be postponed nntd to-morrow evening. The Chairman announced that he would not declare the poll until the objections had been settled.

The consideration of objections was then proceeded with. At a quarter to 5 a.m. the Chairman arose and said that from the re peated and insulting remarks to which he was subjected by Mr. Morton and others, he Would vacate the chair. His own opinion was that the whole meeting was illegal, as it had been summoned by the Chairman without the consent ef the Board, but he , ,nofc desired to interfere. However, he could no longer bear the interference and annoyance to which he had been, sub ,^ ted by the crowd around the platform. •u>e Chairman then, taking his coat, was Proceeding from the platform, when all around fled to the body of the hall, and amid the warmest expressions of regret and apology from those who had offended, all Parts of the house requested Mr Boardman to resume. After considerable hesitancy, and after receiving a formal affirmative vote oy acclamation to the question, " Have I or nave I not the confidence of the gentlemen present that I will do my duty without fear or lavor, 'he consented, and with none but tne scrutineers on the platform, the scrutiny and computation of numbers were concluded, ultimately, after some disenssion, Messrs. Masefield Rees, Thorne, Jones, and others con ße nted*|fwithdraw all their objections lhl l nu 4 Proxieß» and at six o'clock wVh J*__L^ ounced tne,,esult, giving _tli- the Personal voting, then £iw2* ng 'and then the totals aB

He then declared Messrs. Tola' Morton, Stewart, Dacre, and Jakins, to lave been elected. 1 On the motion of Mr Upton] Messrs Matthew and Russell were electedpditors, and after the Chairman had mafe some remarks strongly deprecatory of/tie "bar barous " system of voting under tie High way's Act, and expressing his intfntion of taking action to have it amended *> as to assimilate to the system in nfanicipal elections, the meeting separated^ ten minutes past six in the morning.

REV. G. H. TURNER ON "MAKING YOUR MARK."

Such was the suggestive title of the lev. G. . H. Turner's lecture last evening, it the Young Men's Christian Association!room, which was filled with a highly resectable audience. P. L. Prime, Esq. (mayoij occu pied the chair. Prayer having been offered by Rev. W. Wilkinson, the Chairman intro duced the lecturer, who, upon risirf, was greeted with prolonged applause. Mr. Tur ner, in opening his subject; said he ras but a young man, and the discourse he w*s about to offer was more especially addressed to young men. After some preliminary obser vations on the capabilities of che mud, and the opportunities for progress ; he proceeded to enlarge upon the immediate subject of his lecture, and said the world of the present demands men, and he believed ttot such institutions as the Young Men's Asscciation, were calculated to assist young menin their endeavours to rise in the world, or h other words, to make their mark. Tae rev. lecturer then referred to numerous examples of men who had distinguished then-selves either in art, science, or literature, and by their industry and genius had cut their names in the temple of fame ; he noticed I especially, Cook, the voyager ; We'it, the painter; Newton, the astronomer ; Stephen son, the engineer; Jeremy Taylo:, the Shakespeare of theology, whose writings have thrown a charm around Christimity ; Bloomfaeld, the poet, and Brighi, the orator. Having noticed the stiggles o^ these men in making their mark, said every man should first determine in his own mind what be ought to doin ac cordance with the natural tendenciesbf his disposition, and the object sought to he at tained should be a worthy one. Space'alone prevents us from giving more than a bird's eye view of Mr. Turner's lecture, whici was frequently eloquent and illustrated ;with numerous anecdotes and favourite petic quotations which young men are apt to in dulge in. But over and beyond its loral adornments, there was a great deal of soind, practical common sense deduce i and an excel lent lecture was the result. On the motion of the Rev. Wm. Tinsley, a vote of thinks was unanimously accordtd to the lecturer, and with the benediction pronounced by lev. Alex. Reid, the proceedings closed. S"me disappointment was felt by the audimce in consequence of the omission of the pro mised musical selections by Mr. Lambert md which omission was not explained as it should have been. We trust that on futare occasions care will be taken to prevent a similar disappointment.

NAPIER

(From, our own Correspondent.) This dayj Native Land Grievances. Terms have been proposed by Mr Sheebin for the land taken for the Napier aid Waipukurau Railway to Ormond agab. Arbitrators have been appointed on eaeb side to inspect the lands. Mr SheehSn opened the meeting, addressing the natives in Maori in a speech of three-quaiters of an hour, detailing the business submitted to the meeting. The discussion occupied two days. The meeting closed with a speech by Mr Sheehan'; The result was that the whole of the recommendations which Mr Sheehan proposed were adopted unanimously. AU the natives expressed confidence in Mr Sheehan's houesty of purpose. On the second day Mr Whitaker, son of Mr Whitaker, of Auckland, was introduced by Mr Sheehan to the natives, and was re ceived cordially. The meeting shewed conclusively the deter mination of the whole native people of the province, regardless of cost, to maintain their rights. The most interesting feature of the meet ing was an expression of regret at the depar ture of the Hon. H R. Russell for England. Mr Russell thanked them in appropriate terms for their good wishes, and said he would return shortly again to assist in the work in hand. _■'_•-« The meeting of natives at Pakipaki in terested in the blocks of land in dispute between themselves and Europeans termi nated last evening, having lasted two days. The meeting was perhaps as Targe and in fluential as any that has taken place in the province, including leading representatives from every settlement. The most numerous section and most interested supporters came from Omaha, Henere, Renata's brother and Noa Huke being leaders. The meeting was of a most orderly character, and the pro ceedings and speeches were of a peaceful and loyal character. Amongst the principal business transacted was the pro-* posal for the appointment of a new com missioa to enquire into the grievances, armed with powers to give decisions the same as the Supreme Court, which was unanimously negatived. # _^ The statement made by certain Europeans to the effect that the natives were preparing to challenge the sales of land to the Govern ment in the province was considered. The statement was denounced as utterly false by all the principal chiefs present, comprising those who took part in the sales in question, getting up one after another and repudiating the charge of doing anything of the sort. The question of the future conduct of various questions to be brought to trial was brought before the meeting, and a committee of three principal chiefs was appointed to direct the general business on the natives' behalf, and the question of finance was considered and satisfactorily settled. It was made an in struction to the committee and solicitors that cases selected for trial should be as much as possible of a representative character, to prevent unnecessary litigation and expense w the parties concerned. 4. A petition was drawn up and signed by persons interested praying an enquiry into the claim for com oensation for services during the war at laupo and Poverty Bay. A petition was prepared and signed asking the General Assembly to enquire into the daims of a portion of the Patutahi ilocks for services rendered at Poverty Bay. It w.o agreed that the petition embodying the whole grievance be prepared md sent direct to the British Parliament. It was also resolved that the native member of ;he Assembly be requested to ascertain why 10 portion of the native people have been lualified to serve on juries in cases between Europeans and Maories, and it was resolved ;hat an address be presented to the Hon S. R. Russell in recognition of the services -endered to the native inhabitants of the srovince before his departure for England tt was determined that the Wananga which was|Jpublished at Pakov^a" be removed to, Napier.

A pleasant gathering will be hel<? in the Choral Hall on Monday evening next in celebration of the anniversary of the Orange Institution. We do not profess to any ac quaintance with the inner working of this Order, which lays claim to the high position of being the bulwark of Protestantism, but we know that in such of its outward develop ments as it is permitted for the outside world to see, the Institutition seems to be much more closely associated with social enjoy ments than with swords, javelins, and plots. On the present occasion the Society comes before the public with a first-class musical and literary programme. We need not re capitulate the various items of the programme as given by advertisement in another column. It is sufficient here to remark that the enter tainment will be contributed to by some of our most popular amateurs. Ministers of various denominations will deliver suitable addresses of an instructive character, in keeping with the aims and objects of the institution. An old offender named Catherine Douglas was arrested by Constable Clarke to-day on a charge of stealing an umbrella, the pro perty of Mr Maxheld, and a pair of opera glasses, owner unknown. The umbrella was taken from the hall of Mr. Cardno's house, Hobson-street, on the morning of the Bth inst. The opera-glasses had been sold for Is 6d. They are a small, but apparently very good pair, in black leather, with portions of a sus pending chain on each side. The owner will oblige by calling on the police and identify ing them at once. Catherine says a gentle man gave them to her at the Theatre. The gale of Sunday last was felt with great force at ;Waiuku. The Whiriwhiri school house was blown over. A pane of glass was blowk out of the Presbyterian Church, and otherjdamage done. , Some hlman bones, evidently many years buried, wire found at Messrs Sims and Brown's Baip-building yard, North Shore, " buried on :Jhe beach. They were, in all pro babilty, thl remains of a native or European drowned, whose body had been thrown up on the short and since covered with sand by the tide. \ A singular importation came into the colony frorri Hobart Town with the Bella Mary this trip. This was nothing else than a Tasmanila Devil which had been sent for by Mr Brown, Mr Robert Graham's manager at Ellerslie Gardens. The animal is described as most precocious looking andjof a great size. We under stand that the Custom-bouse officer was quite nonplussed to know what rate of ;duty to charge up|n it. While the discussion was going on the animal evinced his decided disinclinationlo leave the ship, and, getting a slant, made a bolt for the hold, where he has taken up a strong position, and defies all attempts to capture him.
