Mr. Vogel and Mr. Thomas Russell

The Post last night had a rasping article on the way Mr Russell was sent home, and Mr Vogel went home, <md publishes Mr Voxel's letter of instructions to Mr Russell. It says: " When the above letter was ■written, Parliament was sitting. On the 31st of August, the last day of the session, the Premier informed the Bouse he had arranged with Mr Thomas Rusaell to pro ceed to Sydney (with a view to making wrangements with rh.e N S.W. Government for carrying on the San Franoisoo Mail Service) ; not a word was hiuted as to the probable necessity stat^u in Mr Vogel's letter three -ays previously that Mr Kuesell ehould also go to England, and not a single word was said to lead the house to understand that Mr Russell had been authorised by the Government; to arrange a contract on terms which it had not sanctioned, and varying greatly from those it had sanctioned, and not a word was said of Mr "Vogel's own intention of proceeding to both Sydney and England, although Mr Kusself was informed of the fact. Let it also be remembered that this intention when affirmed in these columns, had been officially contradicted in" the Government organs. Why did not Vogel read to the House the 'sstructions contained in the above letter ? Had he done so the probability is that the House would not have sanctioned the trans action. A more flagrant case of deception we never met with. Mr Vogel and his colleagues -vare evidently afraid to trust the House. They Kent .Russell off to nogotiate a contract whioh they probably knew would not. Tbe approved oi by the House, and ttusted to their power this session to carry the mat ter through. The whole transaction, which :,t vroiild hardly be an abuse of language to call a conspiracy, is exceedingly discredit able to alj concerned in it.

THURSDAY.

Tbs House met at 2.30 p.m. Amendment to the Abolition Bill. Mr, CUbbs gave notice of several amend ments in the Abolition Bill. Conveyance of Immigrants. Mi S ;out gave notice cnat he would ask. :: By what authority Sir Julius Vogel entered into & contract with the New Zealand Ship ping Company for the conveyance of immi granfcs, r~C. whether the Government in tended to i-vify the same." Bqa-i Boards Acts in ITative Districts. Mr. Shee-haii asked whether the Govern ment would lay on the table the correspon dence in reference to the Road Boards Acts in native districts. He was answered in the affirmative. Government also promised to lay on tbo table all correspondence relating to the Oyster Fisheries! Act. Disqualification Act. The following committee was appointed to enquire into the alleged breaches of the Dis qualification Act:—Hon. Major Atkinson, Sir Gecrge Grey, Messrs G-. B. Parker, Johnston, Stout, Curtis, aael Rollsßton.

The House resumed at 7.30 p.m,

Abolition of the Provinces Bill

The Hon. Ma^or Atkinson said : Sir, — 3cfore the Order of the day is read for considering the report of the Committee of the wnole House on the appropriation clauses of this bill, I desire, with the permission of the House, to take the first opportunity vrhich the Government have'had of stating to the House the course they intend to pursue. With reeard to the amendments which have been proposed by the hon. member for Port Chalmers, the Government have from the first invited hon. members opposite to join with them in the endeavour to render the bill not only effective, but satisfactory to the people at large ; and I desire, on behalf of the Government, to thank the hon, member for Port Chalmers for the frank and ready way in which he has met the invitation. Anyone who reads the resolutions moved by the hon. gentleman must see at a glance that he not only accepts the situation, but has determined to bring the weight of his great influence and abilities to bear with a view to rendering this bill as perfect as possible. The Government'regret that they are unable to accept the'propositions which he has made ; bat, if I understand the principles contained ia them, they are in entire accord with the bill we are now con sidering. We shall, therefore, be prepared to go a little further than the hon. gentle man proposes upon the same road. The principle of the Government bill, with which these resolutions are in accordance, is, that local revenue should be locally appropriated and spent; therefore if the people will be more satisfied that this is really the inten tion of the Government by having boards in the different districts having a community of interests, we shall be very glad to meet them ia that respect. We shall, therefore, be pre- Jj&i'&d to introduce a bill dividing the various provinces into large and small districts, in wbicb Boards of Works, elected by the people, will be appointed, and to which tb% balance of th« land fund will be appro priated. With vegard to education also, we &3YS declared that we desire that the large reserves which iave been made in the various provinces ~;i~uld be secured for educational porposes in Shose provinces. We shall, therefore, be prepared to introduce a bill to constitute or confirm the various Boards of Education in the several provinces, and to convert to tho3e boards, or rather to vest in t&etii, all the reserves that now vest in the Superintendents for educational purposes. That is, shortly, the way in which the Go vernment propose to meet the resolutions of tho hen. member for Port Chalmers. We shall not, of course, accept them, but we shall introduce measures to give effect to Tnat 1 iiave now Btated.

UNKNOWN.

Attet Major Atkinson's statement last OMprt, Mr Stout said that after the admission °i fee Qovemwent, its would be better to re

consider their position, and let the Abolition Bill stand over till the new bills were brought down. ,

Mr Reader Wood concurred. It appeared that the Government were going now to abandon the chief provisions of the bill,

The Treasurer dona nothing

The Government aban-

On the /notion for fcbo Hohsq going into Committee, Sir Gsorgo Grey said there ought to be p/u lesaft one law ofEccr of the Crown to advise and instruct on the legality of the measures brought before them, attached to the opinion of the late Attorney-General, as several lawyers on his side of the House held opposite opinions on the point. The hon. gentleman travelled over much ground in former speeches and letters about the ille- I gality of changing the constitution of the country without appealing to the people. He said, pass that bill aud each province had a right to begin ab initio, and decide what future form of Government it should have. Auckland had a special right to do this because she had been robbed of her land fund and her seat of Government taken away. He for one would assist the people in such a course as that taken in the United States. The purport of the bill was to give up your liberties under the constitution, and live under this bill and get more money. He (the hon. gentleman), expatiated upon the excellency of the con stitution, and how a road was open for any citizen to pass from the Town Council to the Provincial Council, the General Assembly, and finally Governor of the Colony. The Bill ought to be called an act to take away representative institutions, as it created a governing class. Why were the titles of honorable given to certain classes. That was illegal. Be dared them to go before the country. If they did and the country en dorsed the measure, he -.vould offer no further opposition. He denounced the bill as evi dently favouring the governing class in taxa tion, and grinding down the mass of the people. He hoped the House would refuse the detestable measure. He declared he would resort to every means the rules of the House afforded to retard the bill at every stage. £ir Donald McLean said the whole tenor of the speech of the hon. gentleman who had just sat down was tfcut he wanted to sever this eolrny from the great country to wlach he iow belonged, and es;ablish a republic. Cc retried to what Sir George Ch«>y h&n said ahout the BiJl taking away the rights of the people. The object of the Bill really was to extend the rights and privileges, and the question of delay and appeal to the country w*s quite unnecessary. It had been before the country for years, and had been, decided that abolition was abao luteiy necessary. What did the hon. gentle man (Sir George Grey) do for the rights of the people when he had power. The most arbitrary acts of the present Government were light aa a feather compared to Sir George Grey's. The House believed it had the power to pass the Bill now. He believed it had decided to do so, and the country had spoken unmistakeably in accordance ■with ths" opinion of the majority of the Houie. The Government would therefore retract nothing.

Mr Carrington and Mr Takamoana spoke in the same direction. Mr Montgomery against.

Messrs W, Kelly and May also spoke in favour of going on with the Bill, and at midnight Mr Thomson moved the adjourn ment of the debate.

(From our own Correspondent.) This day. The Hutt Meeting. There are letters in the papers yet quarrel ling about the last Hutt meeting, as to whether it was really in favour of abolition or against it; but the, evidence is so conflict ing that it is next to impossible to side entirely with either. The Post's report made out that the New Zealand Times' report told a fib. The Tribune, of course, agreed with the Times, and each paper had its own re porter present. The papers themselves bad a slaDging match over it, and each backs its own reporter. Sitting on the Rail. The Tribune last night wants to know what the Times means. Any way it says it ought to be one thins; or the other (which, by the way, it is not being neither, fis'a, flesh, nor good red herring), and that letting "Idarenotwaitupon I would," is neithergood for the Times nor for anyone else. 111-natured people say that the Times is an exact counter-picture of the mind of the member for Eden—at present a piece of elegant oscillation.

THE DEATH FROM THE 'HAWEA.'

Mr. Editor : Sir,—When T first read the painful news of a passenger jumping from the Hawea and thus committing suicide, leaving two young children onboard, I was disgusted at the apparent cowardice in thus escaping from his difficulties; but when, through your remarks last evening, I found who the deceased man was, my disgust quickly changed to the feelings of the deepeat sorrow knowing him as I did, his terrible nervous ness, painful t anxiety, and honest intentions coupled with the deep responsibility he had to meet were far more than enough, to upset the reason \oi much less excitable tempera ments.; I will not be the judge, he has chosen one oi unerring wisdom, he cast his lot in with us and through no fault of his was unsuccessful. Let us then do something to mitigate the painful position of those he has left Start the ball rolling again, "for the good that we may do," and here is something to the fore.—Yours, &c, Minus a Name.

THE ICELAND ERUPTION.

Additional Details of the Imposing

Event

The following is a translation from the paper Nordavfari, published at Akureyri, in the north of Iceland, on the 17th of April :

On the evening of the 4th inst, an intense glare was observed in the sky all about the eastern horizon, and when seen by Laxardal it appeared to proceed from a more southerly locality than before. A few men therefore joined in an excursion to the scene. This time the eruption had found a new outlet in a southeasterly direction from Burfell, a good deal more than half way east between it and the Jokulsa. When they had got as far east as Hyannfell, they beard heavy rumblings in the mountain, but the weather being stormy they thought this might be only the din of gusts of wind travelling through the hills. Approaching Burfell they perceived that the din increased, so as at times, to give them the impression of MANY ENORMOUS WATERFALLS. Tumbling over the precipices. Ai certain intervals these thunders rollsd away, and then began with increased vigor. Having passed Burfell to the eastward, they were surprised all of a sudden to hear no din at all, but it soon made itself heard again as they approached the place of eruption. The fire arose up from three lava craters, in a line from south to north, which it had piled up around itself on a perfectly level piece of ground. At the distance of fifty to eighty fathoms to the west horn the craters a large fis3ure had formed itself as the firo broke out, and the land had sunk in to the depth of about three fathoms. Into the hollow thus formed the lava had poured at first, but now it flowed in a southeasterly direction from the two craters. The northernmost crater had the appearance of being oblong, about 300 fathoms in length, and from this crater the

MOLTEN RED-HOT LA.VA Was thrown about 200 or 300 feet into the air in one compact column. The top of this column then assumed a palmated appearance, and the lava fell down in small particles, like drops from a jet of water, which, as they became separated from the column, grew gradually darker, and split into many pieces, burating into lesser and lesser fragments as they cooled, yet when they fell on the edge of the crater, they were still in such a molten state that they were splashed about like water dashed against a solid substance.- As a matter of course no flames were observed, but the glare proceeded from these columns and the seething lava in the craters. The columns rose np at various points within the largest crater; but most frequently toward the ends, and at times the explorers could count twenty to thirty of them. No real smoke accompanied the eruption, but a bluish steam, which expanded and whitened in colour, as it rose to a greater distance from the crater, and such seemed to be the power of this blue jet of steam that it rose

STKAIGHT VP INTO THE AIR For many hundreds of fathoms in despite of a heavy wind blowing. The din to which reference was made before apparently pro ceeded from the boiling action inside the crater, which in power and force exceeded any noise produced by waterfalls. In the midst ©f this din there was heard now and then loud cracks, exceeding any report of cannon, and these- reports were followed immediatety by a blue steam column shoot ing up into the air. This is about the sixth eruption which has broken out in these mountains since the present volcanic action began. With intermissions of from 10 to 12 days the eruptions are1 gaining steadily in intensity. The din mentioned before could be heard clearly from the Myvatus Sveit— that is to say, it is audible at a distance of about 20 English mile*. » w ; < <
