LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE.

fy<f%m y reopened the debate at 7.30 in co»\ *»ati on °* b**. 1- thought very ]ittl| hTe con^ ke said o^i one side or the oth* / Alt ihough never an ultra, provincial ist \ el -enc *e(*. tne Superinteadents and p r a7Lfeial Councils a a having done a great <Jeal ofgoo' I for the c olony. He regarded the kjjlir/ith s aspHiioD, as it was being brought forward by thoafe who were going to benefit t jj el nselven by drawing provincial revenue into the General Government coffers. He understood that the measure was only tenta tive, bu'c why not a perfect one at cnce. There hi*d been ample time to prepare it. The bill reall;v decreased Provincial revenues, and provided nothing for out-lying districts. It concemtrateri the revenue of the colony jjjto certain centres of population. He believed, if '«he country was polled, it would be in favour of a change of Go vernment, liut it would not favor that bill. The >an. gentleman repeated the most of the arguments and figures employed by jjjju in his ■ speech at Wairarapa. He asserted jt was thf> General Government's desire to jay hand'i upon the Provincial revenues, w hich was at the bottom of the measure. Money /joust be had somewhere to carry on tie trunk railway, and it was only to be got y robbing the provinces. Even then there would :notbesixpenceleftfor roads and bridges jn com itry districts. Government would soon find tb ey would have to face taxation. There would, be more log-rolling now than ever. The Government were rushing the Bill through, knowing that if it did notjpass this gessic ac it never would pass. He hoped the Bill ~s rould not go bej ond the second leading. It was impyssible the Bill could be got throvngh the committee. He suggested that the ] flpuse be adjourned for six weeks so that members might consult their consti tuer icieß, but better still to wait for a new Par] iament.

ft f r J. Shepherd supported the bill, though he hoped it would be amended very consi derably in committee. His strongest reason fore supporting the bill was that it applied t'ae abolition principle to the whole colony, ""fle believed in a strong central administra tion, centralising police, lunatic asylums, surveys, &c, not so much on the score of (economy as efficiency. And the reason of his supporters wes that the present system of finance should be improved. Hitherto no one outside the colony and few in it could understand our complicated finance and if we wanted more loans we should be able to make them comprehend onr resources. We should be able to show our monetary transactions in one account.

A long pause ensued, followed by cries of 11 divide" and "question." Mr Dignan, then, in a few remarks, moved that the bill be read that day six months.

Sir Donald McLean said that the Govern ment would resist that.

Mr Sheehan said that, though the Govern ment wanted no discussion, he would not al low the debate to be closed 'so summarily. He denied that the Opposition were unfairly proroguing the debate, but the time might come when it would be necessary for the Opposition to take another course. Mr Bnckland had said that the constituents had given repiesentatives power to alter the Constitution, but the course Mr BuckLiud was taking was diametrically opposed to his constituent's wishes. He asserted after five years'experience that Provincial Councils were far more careful in the expenditure of money than the Assembly. He argued that the Ministry originally took power as the friends of the provinces, and that as the House had not been returned to deal with the question of abolition, it should not meddle with it. He said it was the influence of the Bank of New Zealand which caused the resolutions of last session to be passed. That institution was the cus todian of the Government's conscience.

Mr W. Johnßton moved the adjournment of the debate at 12.30 p.m.

THE VESSEL IN QUARANTINE.

The barque Dover Castle, with the first half of Mr. George Vesey Stewart's special immi grants, arrived inside Kangitoto Channel last evening after a quick passage of 88 days. In consequence of the westerly gale blowing she brought up in the channel for the night. The Dover Castle is a fine Sunderland built vessel owned by Shaw, Savill and Co., launched in 1858, originally Al at Lloyds for 14 years, and re-classed for 9 years in 1871.
