Tince—the term "rotten." He regretted that such a word should have been applied to that Province. He had seen only one ]yl report and that stated the hon. member had said the state of Auckland province was a "~* public scandal. Now he must say that when the Government are resolving to force upon an unwilling people an institution r* which they certainly abhor, and determine as it were, absolutely to take representative institutions which they prize, and when these representative institutions are to be taken from them against the law, and which, according to his firm „ conviction, if taken away, would be a breach of the British Con stitution- (oh !)—an absolute breach of that Constitution. It would be found that modern constitutional writers agree that there is no instance of any alteration having been made in the Constitution of Great Britain without a dissolution of Parliament taking place, and so allowing every elector to record as he pleased his vote either in favor or disapproval of the proposed Consti tution, and giving the right to return representatives to the new Parlia ment, there to express the convic tions of people. (Opposition cheers.) He did say when a Province which had suffered many wrongs at the hands of that House, (cries of question), and at the last moment was compelled to bow down to a majority of the House on a subject of this kind; it was wrong for an officer of the General Government, and lately a member of the Ministry, to taunt and aggravate a people so oppressed in his belief as to apply language of that kind to them. You might tread upon a worm, but at last it would turn upon its oppressor. If they had in their breasts the feelings of men, a people so maligned, would make their voices heard. He called upon the generous sympathies of the House ; upon those who respected the feelings of their fellow men—upon all who cherish within their breasts a feeling of self-respect and pride for their country. He called upon all those actuated by such feelings to support him in his demand that some apology should be made, not only by the hon. member for Clive, but from the Government he serves. (Loud oh !) He said they should, because the Colonial Treasurer, in his financial statement, made use of lan guage which might well have caused a blush to rise to his cheeks regarding Auckland pro vince. An apology was due to his own feel ings, to those of the inhabitants of Auck land, and throughout the provinces those feelings were sympathised in. Would the Government look at what they were doing ? He denied it was in the power of any Minis try, because they were determined them selves to break the law and constitution, to force others to follow their illegal career—to force himself or others to do what was un lawful, or force the inhabitants of Auckland to a course of policy which was contrary to law of the British Empire. He was surprised t at the Bentiments expressed upon the subjec by the member for Timaru. (The Speaker here intenupted.) Sir George Grey here put himself in order by moving an adjourn ment. He maintained he had a right to be heard on the subject. 80,000 people were not to be insulted in the manner they were. He threw himself upon their sympathy whether Buch a proceeding was not one against which he, as representative of that great com munity, had a right to protest. He had a right to expect an apology for such language, and reparation for most improper and uneces sary aspersions upon the province of Auck land.

Mr Ormond said he could not recollect in what aspect he had used the word " rotten," theugh he believed he did use it when speak ing the previous night on the Auckland Province. Before proceeding further, he would like to answer the member for Auck land West, in reference to his being an officer of the Government. His position was simply this : for a number of years he had acted as the General Government agent in Hawke's Bay, and, in respect to these matters of course had a right to act in accordance with instructions from the General Govern ment, but he utterly denied that in his place in that House Ministers had any control over him. He denied he had in the slightest way intended to apply the term objected to to the people of Auckland. He intended to refer to the Auckland Provincial Council in having degraded itself by being so subservient to the will of the Superintendent, and the cry of strong language was used all round, Mr Ormond declining to retract until he had satisfied himself from the Hansard report that he had used 'the word in the sense attributed by Sir George Grey, Mr Mac andrew, Mr Reader Wood, and others.

The Division.

[From our Special Correspondent] WELLINGTON. This day. The division on the second reading took place this morning. As I telegraphed you, a number of the Opposition voted for the second reading, so that the result is no test of strength. The numbers were — For Government ... .... 52 Against ... ... ... ... 17 Majority ... .. ... 35

(Per Press Telegram Agency.)

After Mr. Stout had made a brilliant speech against the Bill last night, Mr. Wales followed in support, and Mr. J. C. Brown against. There being no other speakers Major Atkinson was called on to reply, which he did in a very vigorous speech, answering categorically the chief arguments of the Opposition against the Bill, and adducing additional figures in support of his financial proposals. % Mr O'Rorke called for a division. The following was the result:—Ayes, 52. Andrew, Gibbs, Tribe, J. E. Brown, Bluett, Ormond, Richmond, Reynolds, Wales, Pyke, Katene, Mervyn, Murray, W. Kelly, J. Shephard, T. L.

Kenny, Bradshaw, against Rolleston Wairdj Brandon. Major Atkinson moved that the House Bhould go into committee of the whole to consider the bill on on Tuesday next. Carried. The Houbo adjourned at a quarter to two. Altercation with Speaker.

Some altercation ensued between Messrs O'Connor, Murray, and the Speaker at eleven o'clock regarding the usual adjournment, apparently through misapprehension, and the Speaker told these hon. members they would never address him again in the way they did that evening. * Tr O'Connor has given notice to make the n&i Sr a question of privilege.

TOUCH NOT ; TASTE NOT; HANDLE NOT.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —In a copy of the Star a few weeks since, I noticed a paragraph headed thus : " 'Twas your fault Bill, &c." I do not exactly remember the circumstances of the case, nor the date of the issue of the Star ; but I was given to understood that an un fortunate woman, fined for drunkenness at the Police Court, said that it was her hus band's fault that she now occupied a prisoner's dock. That he (her husband) had decoyed her from home to look for him among the grog-shops, where she was led on little by little, from bad to worse, until she became a confirmed drunkard. This was followed by a few words plainly depicting the great influence one man's example has over another fellow creature. Now, Mr Editor, the ques tion I ask is : Are you yourself a total abstainer ? If not (which I believe to be the case), what right have you to speak against drunkenness. On what authority do you stigmatize the effects of intoxicating drink if you use the cause of the same. You say moderately. Bah ! Can you tell me of one drunkard who commenced with tbe intention of being such. Some years since, in a town in England, when teetotabsm was first con templated, a meeting was held composed of the leading men of the place, at which a clergyman spoke strongly against a teetotal system being adopted. He thought that going without altogether was resorting to extremes. Mind you ! he did not uphold drunkenness, oh no ! certainly not; but at the same time he was fond of his social glass. At this moment a drunken fellow came swaggering up the aisle, exclaiming, "That's right—hie—guv-ncr—hie—you're on —hie— our—hic-side—bravo, old pal." These words penetrated the clergyman's heart. He could not help seeing the force of the words of the inebriate, and the result was that he turned teetotal, and was for many years a zealous worker in the cause of tem perance. In your issue of Saturday last I saw a correspondent's letter enti tled, " Good Templary and the Cross," in which your correspondent " Citizen " denounced the editor of the Daily Southern Cross as a hypocrite. This may be true but wWt I cannot understand is the wishy-washy stuff that the Good Templars wishes to substitute in the place of alcohol. If he only knew as well I do, that intoxicat ing liquor, takenin any quantity as a beverage, is a rank poison, and that its effects are more or less injurious in proportion to the quantity that is taken ; and, also, that is very seldom necessary as a medicine, for often in cases of sickness it kills more than it cures. If there is any questioning, lam prepared to prove it. As I do not wish to press too much on your space, I shall wind up by stating that I have written the above to show " Citizen " that there are two sides to every question. By giving insertion to the above you will greatly oblige, yours, etc., S. Philpott, Good Templar.

LECTURE ON WHITEFIELD.

The attendance was not so good last even ing at the Young Men's Christian Association rooms on the occasion of the oration on the "Life and Times of Whitefield" by Rev. W. J. Williams, as might have been expected ; the weather possibly might have prevented many persons from venturing out. Mr. Batt ley occupied the chair and stated that four of the vice-presidents were hindered from appearing that night owing to severe colds which were fashionable just now. Rev. G. H. Turner opened the proceedings with prayer, after which Mr. Williams delivered his promised oration, commencing with a birds-eye view of great men in the fields of geology, history, astron omy, science and poetry, but the greatest of all great men, iv his opinion, was the great preacher, whose special mission was the winning of souls to Christ, and foremost smong the preachers of the past prominently stood the figure of George Whitefield. Mr. Williams proceeded briefly to sketch the several phases of Whitefield's career—first as the boy in the bar of the Bell Inn, in the ancient city of Gloucester, in Eng land's fruitful west, in what Mr. Williams termed a "beer shop," but which did not exist simply as a beer shop in those days ; but was one of those comfortable old English hostelries which inspired the muse of Shenstone and pleased Dr Johnson. Mr Williams briefly touched upon the theatrical society, in which Whitefield first discovered his powers, and then proceeded in rapid succes sion to pourtray the youth at Oxford, hia ulti mate connection with the Wesleys, John and Charles ; his first sermon in Gloucester, the persecutions to which he was subjected by the Church of England, his thirteen voyages to America, his intimacy with Lady Hunt ington, and finally his death at Newbury port, sear Boston. Mr. Williams referred briefly, and well that he did, to Whitefield's married life, wAich, like the married life of John Wesley, was not uniformly happy. Such men never ought to marry, and in this respect both Whitefield and Wesley com mitted a great error. Mr Williams reviewed Whitefield's style of preaching and his general character with a great deal of critical acumen and judgment. The materials for an oration on Whitefield are few, and conse quently any discourse upon him must be similar to that given by Mr Williams. We were rather surprised that the lecturer made no mention of Dr Franklin, the philosepher, as he and Whitefield were on intimate terms in America; in fact, to try to convert Franklin, it is generally believed, first in-* duced Whitefield to visit America. Mr Williams was also in error when he spoke of Joseph Hume as an attendant on Whitefield'B sermons, as the late member for Montrose was not born until after Whitefield's death. It was tbe historian, David Hume, the renowned sceptic; and the man to whom we owe the "joey," or fourpenny silver piece. Apart from these trifles, the extempore discourse of Mr Wil liams on the great preacher of the eighteenth century was a'masterpiece of oratory, and one of the best discourses of the season. Mr Goldie proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer, which was carried with acclamation, and Rev. A. Reid pronounced the benedic tion.

THE SCENE AT THE LANDING.

ALL THE PASSENGERS IN GOOD

HEALTH.

Motuihi, this day. I sent you news yesterday of the girls hav ing landed. Well, at 4 p.m., when they were coming off, it came on to blow and rain, and one boat had to put back. After great labour the other succeeded in getting along side, and then the scene was beyond descrip tion : one minute the boat half way up the ladder, the next far below, on|account of the heavy sea running. Half the girls had to sleep On shore and half on board.

At daybreak to-day (Friday) the boats came on board with them, and then took the married people and their luggage. While I am writing the single girls' effects are being got into the boats.

Every body is in good health, and anxious to come to town. Not a single case of sick ness.—A. Menzies, mate.
