E' w^.Sl .1 this Act took- AW? tb 0 rberties- ™ jeaple; bathe wondered how the lion-: -;er for Auckland City West could bif-'-got such ah opinion. Al thongb l& beld, speaking in the broad, ifease, that every man in New Zealand was fully represented in the present Parliament, of course be must be understood not to be taking into account at the present moment certain inequalities in the representation of the colony. He held that by thk bill very many in New Zealand would be still bettor represented than they were before. They were also told that the bill should be re ferred to the electors before being passed by the .Assembly, but he could confidently ask the House bad. the bill not been already re ferred to the electors, and had they not already decided in its favour from one end of the country to the other? (Cries of "No, no," and "Yes, yes.") The party to which he had the honor to belong for the last twenty years always consistently strove for the vital principle of this bill. He only regretted that the hon. gentle man who wa3 the recognised champion of this principle had not the duty of moving the second reading of the bill, and these completing the scheme with which his name had been identified for so many.years. In conclusion, he need only say that the prin ciple, and it prevaded the bill from the one end to the other, was the unity and oneness of the colony, and the only principle con sistent with true local self-government, and that was what this bill provided. Sir George Grey moved the adjournment of the debate till Tuesday next. Sir Donald McLean said the Government had no objection, but hoped when the debate was resumed on Tuesday, it would be con tinued" to its conclusion without any more adjournment of debates. The debate was then adjourned till Tues day evening, at half-past seven. Indemnity Bill. The Immigration Expenditure Indemnity Bill, interim report of Select Committee {Finance), was read. Messrs Bunny, Eolleston, Keid, and McGlashan. and Sheehan condemned the present system of audit. Mr Pearce, Sir P. D. Bell, Mr Shepherd, Mrßowen, and Major Atkinson supported the'course as necessary, the latter taking npon himself full responsibility for the action of the Government. The Bill was reported to the House with out amendments, and read a third time and passed. Mining Companies. The second reading of the Registration of Mining Companies Valuation Bill is to be committed on Tuesday. Mr Reader Wood on Colonial Finance. Mr Wood asked, If the Government on Tuesday intended going into Committee of Snpply before the debate on the Abolition Bill, as the Opposition (although anxious to go into finance) wished to have a full report of the Finance Committee, and other in formation, before debating the subject ? The financial proposal of the Government aright be likened to some beautiful image which they were called upon to worship ; but they objected to have first, perhaps, the charming grace of the head to admire; then the exqui site symmetry of an arm, then the fair pro portions" of the bust, the gilding and orna mentation of the dress, ere they would admire and criticise it, perchance, as ono captivating harmonious whole. He hoped, therefore, the Government would not go on with the Committee of Supply until the abolition debate was finished.

Mr Atkinson, on the part of the Govern ment, had no objection to state that the Government would propose to go on with the debate on the Abolition Bill; but it must be understood that after Tuesday the Go vernment must go on with the regular business of the Bouse.

Departmental Statements. In reply to Mr Beeves, the Native Minis ter said he would make his statement on native affairs on Wednesday next, Major Atkinson would make his on Immigration on Tuesday or Wednesday, and Mr Reynolds his on the Marine Department on Tuesday. The House adjourned at 1,23.

SIR GEORGE GREY ON DANIEL O'CONNELL.

The Press Agency furnishes by telegram thefollowing summary of the speech delivered by Sir George Grey at the O'Connell cen tenary, a more condensed account of which appeared in last night's Star :—" Sir George Grey, whose rising was the signal for a tempest of frantic cheering, which lasted some minutes, proposed, " The land we live in- He said the real pith of this toast was "men, be men." The men who lived iD the land, and who made the land what it was, after encountering much toil and many difficulties, and even dangers, which some of those present had shared with him self,—those men and their families, he said were endeared to him by a thousand associa tions. Prom these he might wander to pass an eulogium on the great man whose memory we now celebrate. He had seen that great man, and had the privilege of hearing some of his greatest speeches. One of O'Connell's giftß seemed to be his power of estimating the necessities of mankind, a fact only re cently acknowledged by modern politicians. He found his country depressed and with little education according to modern notions, but he detected lying dormant a power which properly exercised in the development of political rightß might be rendered of the highest service to mankind. He believed that his countrymen might be fitted by edu cation for noble actions, and so he educated them until political knowledge became poli tical power, and those without heard that voice arising from the beleaguered millions within, which told it was not safe to keep them longer imprisoned in that prison of religious disabilities, and so they jet them go forth into the world. They have issued forth a wonderful multitude generals, admirals, rulers, statesmen — a noble army led by O'Connell—a conquering boat which has spread over the whole world. J-he Government has been Hlumined by their wisdom, the army and navy have been rendered more energetic and victorious by their skill and valour. For aU this we are indebted to O'Connell. . He taught the great truth: a truth whose virtue now is felt by all mankind—that a race not allowed fall politi cal rights must sink in the scale of humanity, i-rough him a great nation has been re leased from thraldom, and that conquering 'ace has sent a detachment to New Zealand, *«o to whom the colony is in no slight degree jadebfced for its prosperity."

Mr Stout, M.P.C., for Caversham, ad dressed his coDssituents last evening, speak ing chiefly on the abolition question. He strongly opposed abolition of the .Middle Island provinces, mainly on grounds of objection to nominee of the Government, and because it involved putting the land fund into the common purse of the colony.

THE SHIP FERNGLEN.

The ship Pernglen cleared at the Customs to-day with a general cargo and a long list of passengers for London. The cargo list will be found elsewhere. The Pernglen is lying in the stream quite ready for sea. A steamer is to take the passengers oS at at It) o'clock on Monday morning, and by mid-day it is probable she will be under weigh. Cap- Frater does not leave at the most favorable time of the year for securing passengers, and we have little doubt that it is owing to his own prestige and the good character given to the ship by his foutward passengers that he has been able to secure so many for the run home. The Fernglen may be gone before our next issue so that we take this opportunity of wishing the captain, pas sengers, and ship God speed and a pleasant voyage. Passengers: Saloon—Mrs H. Mc-' Donnell, Mr and Mrs Welsh, Messrs E. P. Tippett, Henry Williams, and Henry Mc- Murdo. Steerage—Mr and Mrs Carlaw, Mrs Ibbetson, Mr and Mrs Joll, Misses Sarah Callis, H. L. Fleming, Laura Ibbetson, Ellen Ibbetson, Jane Carlaw, Messrs Jno. Ander son, Anderson, Chas. Ibbetson, Jno. Reid, H. M. Richards, J. J. Burgees, Her bert Hurndull, A. J. Heath.

Cargo per Pernglen for London :—2339 cases gum, 12 casks do., 42 do. tallow, I package, 42 bales rags, 1 do. tea lead, 2 cases files, 306 tons copra, 514 sacksdo, 38 bales cotton, 124 do wool, 40 do leather, 14 do skins, 1 case tools, 1,640 horns, 2 pieces wood, 1 packet do,, 5 kegs beeswax, 1 case do., 1,506 bags manganese, 200 tons do., 9 casks glue pieces, 82 ingots zinc, 5 tons, 6 ewt. shank bones, 2 cases ferns.—J.

The Police and the Hotelkeepers.

ARREST POP. PEE JURY. Two girls of bad character named Harriett Podestere and Annie Absolom were to-day arre Bted by the police on a charge of having committed wilful and corrupt perjury in giving their evidence yesterday in the Licensing Act case, in which Mr.'Evans, landlord of the Pacific Hotel was accused of selling alcoholic liquor on a Sunday. It will be recollected that the two girls swore most positively that though they were in the house on Sunday evening last they ha.d no liquor supplied them, nor saw any liquor supplied to any body else. Qn thier testimony the charge against Mr Evans was dismis-ed. They will be brought up on Monday and it is said that evidence will be forthcoming proving their assertions to have been totally false. \.-.-'.i

Among the passengers by tho Fernglen for London is Mrs McDonnell which has led to an impression that Colonel McDonnell is going home. This however is not the case. Colonel McDonnell is still under engagement with the General Government as Land Purchase Agent, and proceeds to Wellington Bhortiy in connection with his official duties. "An inquest of melancholy nature was held at Middlesborough recently. The deceased, John Watson, was employed at the Carlton. Ironworks. While standing near a cabin a ball of-red-hot molten slag was drawn past him by a locomotive. Suddenly the ball burst, spreading itaeif over Watson, who was .removed to the Cottage Hospital, but gradually «u_k and died.
