rights. He would be able to shew, actually at the present moment in the land, a power in the shape of a wealthy institution whichcould have any person it chose appointed Governor to support their interests. Referring to the Js monetary instution he said : " You have an * ex-Governor in the same establishment and you have the whole of that interest with its use of two millions of our money used, at tho present time agaist the people of this country. Those powers may be justly used, and I admit, beyond all doubt, that the great money institution to which I refer has been of the greatest possible use use to the country in times gone past; it had incurred great rises and had been the means of establishing many men usefully and honorably in different paths of life. Though this use of power might be re pugnant to the great mass of people inte rested in that establishment, it was un doubted that this measure was proposed at the instance of that institution in order that from the land fund of the Middle Island greater security might be afforded for the moneys advanced for carrying on the policy of the Government. The Governor had committed himself to a line of policy from which he could not recede. His assent to all the measures submitted must be a cer tainty. In such peculiar circumstances the Assembly should pass such an Act as would delegate to the people the duty of choosing under what constitution they would be governed. Let a new basis of representation be fixed ; let Ministers lay before the country their proposals, and whatever the country chose he and his party would assist in carry ing out the people's expressed wishes. If the Government would not accept the suggestion and persisted, they would find there were men who would not submit to it, and he firmly believed they would be right in resist ing such unlawful proceedings. It would be unlawful according to constitutional law that powers once granted to the people could not be taken away except by that Legislature which granted the powers. Then as to statutory law, the Act on which the Government was proceeding was never in tended to be wrested so as to be applied to the purposes proposed. Parliament had been deceived into passing the Act, and at the time it was passed into law it was Bever intended to use it for the purposes of robbing the people of their representative institutions which they now enjoyed. The term, "abolishing the pro vinces," as used in the Act, never contem plated interfering with representative insti tutions. Ihe present Chief Justice had laid this down distinctly. He had told them that there were five provinces of New Zealand, the boundaries of which were fixed by proclamation, and the meaning of the term —" abolition of provinces," mentioned in that Act, simply meant altering those boun daries. This he had illustrated by instancing the case of Canterbury and Westland. The moment Westland had been proclaimed a province, the Canterbury previously in ex istence has been abolished, but had not been deprived of its representative institutions. If great manifest privileges were granted in specific terms to the people, general words in an Act of obscure meaning, could not take such rights from them. The Climax of the Speech—Resistance to the Death. The following was Sir George Grey's closing peroration :—"I tell this House of Representatives it cannot in point of law or justice, do what it proposes. The member for Timaru used the word revolutionary, for which I thank him. Revolution contem plates a lawless act, and I say this act is more lawless than revolution, it is a coup cle Hat by the party in power, who seek to establish themselves for ever as representa tives of the people. Will it succeed ? I can only say for my part that, as Superin" tendent of Auckland, I will never surrender the rights belonging to me by law. Let the House try to deprive me of those rights. So long as Courts of Justice exists in the land ; so long as there is a judi cial committee in Great Britain will I appeal to them. You will gain nothing by hurry ing in the end ; you will be defeated. Press it on and you will bring about a revolution you little think of. All posterity will raise their shouts behind me. I shall have a fol lowing in which I shall glory in time to come. I appeal to those around me not to commit themselves to it; I appeal to the career of the member for Timaru (Mr Staf ford), whom I have never known to sacrifice right or justice to expediency, to try to obtain for the people of New Zealand a fair, full, and just consideration of the constitu tion you propose to impose upon them before so imposing it j I appeal to the Native Minis ter, whom it has been one of the hopes of my life to see in that position, to give his coun trymen time to fairly consider the matter ; I appeal to the Treasurer, who has done service to his country, to whom dangers and diffi culties have been nothiug, and in the field been equally efficient, not to go down to pos terity with a bad name ; 1 appeal to the Minister of Public Works to keep to the duties of the profession in which he excels, and not to meddle with constitutions about which he knows nothing, and I appeals to every minister whom I desire to see successful, and to aid in the path of success. Why force me into a contest when I am co clearly in the right, and they so clearly in the wrong? Again, I appeal to those tribunes of the people ; those real kings of men who by their own labour have raised themselves from humblest conditions not to kick away the ladder by which they have risen, and so prevent their children and children's childrenfrom rising even higher. I tell them that they must and shall not do it. The people will insist on them not doing it. Although my voice is only one, I tell you the people will so insist. I have put before you two pictures, and it is now for you to choose which you adopt. It is only a question of a few months delay— a delay pregnant with consequences, —because if that delay is not given Ministers will be entering on a course which they see not the end of. You have no mercenaries such as the Emperor of France to carry his coup de fiat; you have not means nor power to carry one out. Speaking on my own be half, I tell you I will resist you to the death if you try it! Throughout the whole speech, Sir George Grey was continually interrupted with en thusiastic and continued applause. He spoke with great eloquence and effect, and on Bitting down the applause was quite demon strative.

Sir Donald's Reply. orr Donald McLean instantly sprang to his feet and made a short and vigorous reply. •He said it was the intention of the Govern ment to increase—not take away the "gats and powers of the people. They knew the country was with them. It was their fixed determination to carry aboli ■fi aD, d notning would make them swerve inthe slightest degree in the matter. The attitude and tone of Sir Donald was decidedly buligerent and defiant. Mr Stafford's Vindication. Un sitting down, Mr Stafford jumped teon« f a?\ in firm a*d cour teons terms rephe(J . to Sir G personal references and appeal. He gave his r easo n a for supporting the Govern oxTl a-Ild ulUußtrated' from the exprience ot Jamaioa how representave institutions was rionW WM y- -7Hf ked what ™°° the people of New Zealand had in forming a con stitotion drawnup by Sir George Grey in a co ng vel aUed G™^™*t-house whe yn the co ony was portioned off with pencil and v* M^Fitz Aroused doE^_ i t 'bert arose as Mr Stafford sat ODDo3i?# ■' • • old fire went »* his *twtp- Jamgirrepressibleandcontinuous

laughter, with his droll chaffing. He spoke of new fire infused into the debate by Sir George Grey, and said that before he was afraid to speak, and generallyjexercised him self in the alleged new privilege in a manner that f It'ctrified the House.

Tlis Minister of Justice- The Hon. Mr. iJowen succeeded in an ex cellent speech bt-yond anything anticipated. He specially referred to Sir George Grey having snapped his fingers at the House. Close of the Debate- Mr. Rolleston replied. He said there was no intention of moving an amendment, as the Government assured the House the address had no significance. The debate was altogether a war of giants, to which an end was put by the intervention of Teddy Wakefield, whose dreary speech drew a wet blanket over the proceedings. No amendment was moved, so the address passed without even a cheer, and in a half filled House. The Financial Statement. Sir Donald McLean announced the financial statement next week.

The House rose at eleven o'clock,

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.)

HUMAN SHADOWS. Thomas Reed, who was unable to tell his name until reminded of the seme, was fined 10s and costs for being drunk last night. Thomas McKay, who did not appear for feited his bail. A LOAFER. William McKeown was charged under the Vagrancy Act with drunkenness and vagrancy, and with having no visible lawful means of support. Prisoner said he was guilty but was going to the Waikato to woik as soon as Mr Mar tin should send for him. Mr Broham said the prisoner was a drunk ard and a loafer; he had been frequently convicted. Fined 10s and costs. AIRY DREAMS. Henry Bennett, alias " Harry, the Rover," wes charged, under the, Vagrancy Act, with being found on the premises of John Currie, in Queen-street, on the night of the 23rd. Prisoner admitted being in the premises, but he was a hard-working man, and merely went in to lie down. He wes not a vagrant. He was not there for any unlawful purpose. Detective Jeffrey deposed that, last night, he was informed that a strange man had crept into the premises of Mr Currie, coach builder, and had made up a bed of straw. His snores disturbed the neighbours, and at tracted attention to the spot. It was thought at first that a pig had got into the place.

Prisoner said he was really a hard-working man, but had drank tco much whiskey, and made him feel sleepy. He had been em ployed by Mr Messenger, and had only come from Wellington three weeks ago. His Worshp said that he had rendered himself liable to a long imprisonment, but as he was a stranger and nothing was known of him, the court would only send him to gaol for fourteen days. WANDERING LUCY. Lucy Duncan, alias "Lucy Long," was charged with drunken and disorderly con duct. The prisoner confirmed the charge, but was sorry. She felt bad in the head, and took three nobblers of brandy, which over came her, and she fell to earth. Fined, 10s and costs. POUNDING JOHNNYV Martin Kenny, a seaman,^_was charged with using desperate language toward John Graham, his superior officer, on board the Robina Dnulop, on the 24th inst. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. John Graham deposed that prisoner was disobedient and called h^m all sorts of names, threatening to pound him up in mincemeat; he was afraid ©f him. His Worship : Are you really afraid of him? Prosecutor : Yes, your Worship, he is a desperate fellow, as you see. His Worship : I am afraid I cannot assist you, you must lay an information under the Vagrancy Act for using indecent language. Prosecutor : What security has an officer got, your Worship, against a seaman like-this man? His Worship ; How long have you been at sea? Prosecutor : About four months. Well, I must discharge him, and you must biing him up under a different information. PROFESSOR EVANS. George Evans, described as a hair-dresser, was charged with larceby of half a sovereign, on the 23rd inst., the property of Henry Wolfe, of Auckland. . Mr. Broham asked that the case might be remanded in order to the introduction of the facts of the case. Mr. Joy, who appeared for the defence, asked that prisoner, who wa3 a respectable barber in Queen-street, might be admitted to bail. The case was remanded until Tuesday, and bail allowed in two sureties of £40 each. BREACH OE SLAUGHTER-HOUSE ACT. Albert DornwelJ, secretary of the Co-opera tive Meat Supply Association, was sum moned for committing a breach of the Slaughter-house Act by killing "other than his own cattle at the Three Kings. "*"**•*•' Mr Brookfied, who appeared for Mr Clayton, briefly stated the facts, and be lieved that Mr Dornwell had acted without any intention of infringing the Act. The matter was simply brought as a matter of principle. y Mr Hesketh, who appeared for Mr Dorn well, said he would admit the facts ; but the question was whether his client had com mitted an offence by killing other than his own cattle.

His Worship said the gist of the matter was whether Mr Dornwell could use his own licence for the Co-operative Society ; he was of opinion that he could not do so. As Mr Dornwell had no doubt acted without any wrong intention, he suggest the withdrawal of the matter, and, as Mr Dorn well now knew the law respecting the license, if he acted so in future, he would be liable.

Mr Bruokfield said be would have no ob jection to a withdrawal, provided Mr Dorn well paid the expenses ; there were a num ber of witnesses.

It was finaliy agreed between counsel to divide the expenses, and withdraw the case.

THE POUNDING CASE.

Martin Kenny was aj<ain brought up under the Merchant Seaman's Act, for wilful dis obedience of orders. John Graham (the master) and James Sin clair (a seaman) proved the facts. The ac cused had not only threatened to pound the prosecutor into mince-meat, but had refused to cut wood, and do other work. The prisoner, with an impertinent air, addressed the Court, and was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment.

According to a telegram this morning from the Advertiser's Wellington correspon dent, the surreptitious miners' rights matter has been narrowed down to Mess.rs Brissen den and James Mackay, jun. Mr Mackay is here busy squaring accounts with the natives and Europeans, by whom his visit has long been looked forwardto with interest. He proceeds to Mackay town to-day on a similar errand in a specially chartered steamer, and on Tuesday leaves for Welling ton to look after his own interest. Agricultural Leases at Ohinemuri. A meeting of Mackaytown residents is to be held to-day on the spot, to discuss the leasing of agricultural land area regulations. Some sharpers want increased areas, but, as Sir George Grey says, the good lands are scarce, and it is desirable to give all a show instead of a few speculators merely. The charges are admitted, very justly, to be too high. State of Roads. _ The Tairua road wants immediate atten tion, as its terrible condition is a great draw back to prospecting at an important time.

Jokes of a very offensive and annoying nature were resorted to for some time previous to the election. Printed cards were industriously circulated having for their object the holding of Mr. Walter up to ridicule, and this has been fol lowed up by the forwarding of notes to a cumber of gentlemen purporting to be invitations issued by Mr. and Mrs. Walter to a party to be given this evening. Mr. Walter informs the Star that these letters did not emanate from him.

Desperate Attempt at Suicide in Hobson-street.

Mr.. Wti/ltam Eobwsjn, a brother of Cap tain Robinson, of the schooner Jessie Hen derson, made a most determined attempt to commit suicide this afternoon. Mr Robinson resides with his sister, Mrs Watson, iv Hob son-street. To-doy, at about a quarter to two o'clock, he lay down on the sofa after dinner. He has been very unwell for some lime, having been under treatment to Dr Hooper for erysipelas. Leaving the dinner things on the table, Mrs Watson went round to her grocer's down the street, remaining absent about ten minutes. When she returned a horrible sight met her \i w. A knife was lying on the table covered with b'ood. There was blood also on the tablecloth, and clots of blood on the floor from the sofa to the door. Following the fearful track, Mrs. Watson, seriously alarmed, ran to the back yard. Her brother was here discovered sitting on some wood holding his hands to his neck. His throat was cut almost from ear to ear, and blood was pouring from the wound. Mrs Watson's cries alarmed the neighbour?, who ran in and were shocked at the terrible sight which the house and Mr Kobinson presented. Medical assistance was at once sent for, and Dr. Hooper and Dr. Bayntun were in attendance in a very short time. An examination of the wound after the sufferer was got to be revealed the fact that],the jugular vein was not severed, and though the'unfortunaW. man must have used the most determined cIX. rts to complete bis puipose, the depots pronounced the wound not fatal. Mr. Kobinson was quite sens-ible, but gave no reason for his extraordinary act. i rom what we learn, it appears that disapp int ment in a love affair has preyed upou his mind for some time past. i.This led to his drinking heavily, and there is little doubt that the consequent mental aberation has resulted in the present attempted s^lf destruction.
