believed that tlierß was in the house a party strong enough to carry Abolition, and he thought the sooner that was accepted abe bette . He, for one, should be ver" sorry to see prnvlticfallsm, as It had existed, be re estiblishf d, It had been useful to no one. Some thing rew must be adopted He thought the party ghoald adopt this course—Admit Abolition, and then tbfire m-'gbt bo a reasonable prospect of turning the Oovprninert cut on the financial questlan. If so, anoiber government would be found favourable to sllo^irg any pa»t of the colony, which desired it. to curry en its own p.ff .irs. That was simply his own idea- As to finance they had heard of a very long art! nble address of Mr Bees' on that subject.—Well, Major Atkinson-(A voice: He's a humbug.)—after ten tUys j'r.cubattom. had repl'ed. and had derided Mr Hops' fismrps. and said they were all wrong; that if they addrd this amount to that, and took away that, a', il divided by that, fhere was the balance, (Laugh tor.) I. wnsasecond edition of tlie thimble and the pea Now ha did unt want to puzzle them like that But he ecm'd tell them plainly that last year the revenue did nnt meet the expenditure by a quarter of a mii'ion. and on tho prosent financial year there was another' deficiency of the same amount That meant they wetfe going to the bad at the rate of a htirirter of a million a year. Vogel bad told them three years ago that when ten millions were spent they would actually be receiving £20,000 a year clear profit.. The ten millions had been spent, a__S instead of a profit they were P&jdng four or five hundred thousand a year, and the railways, did not piy. There was never a more scafldalous, false, or delusive a scheme than that of 1870. It had been tested by tho expedience of six years, and now the man who was i's author had the assurance to tell the House it was a: success. (A Voice: Hn deserves the groans after all). Asa reference had been made to hims°]f. and the ettnek made ou him in the •'Sou hern Cross," be wished to publicly stite th.t in all the years he had I'ved in that place there was no man who could convict him of a single act of im propriety or dishonor A charge had been made against liim that he had cold himself for £10 Just as reasonably h« might accuse Mr Luckle of Be'ling himself for 2d every day. (Laughter) The speaker bore explained the transaction alluded to, in which he had simply with three others who had applied for the same piece of la?<d. accepted TlOas a considera tion for his beneficial interest in it Be was not anhamed of the transaction and pliould do tho same ntfain. Colonel Wynyard in al'udingto the hubbub made about it at the time said it wasi the most paltry charge ever made against a'man. It was not true that the Land Board was done away with on that account. It was abolished after a full and complete inquiry. In which the transaction he had referred to was not once mentioned Ihe true reasons of the attacks made upon him by the.editor of the " Cross " W/.S that once in Parliament Mr Luc-le, who at that time performed rather a curious part in reference to Pir Julius "Vogel had accused him of selling him self for £300. Be then reminded Mr Luckle that there was no occasion for him to sell himself for so small a figure ; that he had lived long enough in the world to know how to mate more than that in an ether way, which was to imitate Sir Portinax MoSy cophant, and follow on the skitts of some great man. und boo-oo to him on every possible occasion, and if , noo»ssary lick his boots (Roirs of laughter.) Since that time. Mr Luckie had taken every opportunity of assailinij him. He had only made two apnlloations for land in his life—the one he had alluded to, and another for 120 acres ef the Island of Pulnui. This he had withdraws withot any consideration whatever. He considered a man who would use his position ss editor of a paper to maliciously injure a man's reputa tion ra. a scandal and a shame to the community. (Oheers ) Mr McColl proposed that after Mr B. Wood's speech they should withdraw the resolution with regard to the petition. This was agreed to. Mr Wrigley said after the recant attempt of the Cross they should take every opportunity of express irg their corfidence In Sir George Grey as their leader at the present time. He was sorry that the resolutions had been thrown out Tho basis, as arranged for the division of the debt was advantageous to the province, for if they had 120,000 to sp.nd on their educational ar.d other local requirement>«. Just think what thr-.y could do with it. The whole policy of the Government had be->n to hinder s.ttl.ment. He proposed the following resolution : " That the mem bers for this rrovince b» requested to give Sir George Grey m ur_flinching support to secure justice to this portion of the colony." [Loud applause } Mr H. Davison seconded the motion, which was put and carried unsnimously.

Mr Suiter next proposed, and Mr R. Graham seconded , a vote of thanks to Mr B Wood for his Instructive address.

John Keenan, William McGivern, and James Nason, pleaded guilty to being drnnk last evening, and were subjected to a fine of 5a each and costs. POLLY PUMPKIN. Mary Orr, known as Polly Pumpkin, was brought up for the third offence. Mary said she was really drunk, but she was excited ; her scratched face and black eyes were wbat are called "scoria rash." Fined 10_ aud costs with a caution gratui tously. J.RT?ACH OF QUARANTINE REGULATION*. John McLeod appeared ia answer to a charge of escaping from quarantine. Mr Brookfield appeared for the proseou tion. Mr Tyler, for the defendant, pleaded guilty, and said that although the fine for auch an offence was heavy, he hoped the Court would inflict the smallest possible fine The defendant was in good health, and had been employed waiting upon the sick, and he was induced to leave the island with a view of seeing his brother, whom he had not seen for twelve years. McLeod was also ignorant of the quarantine laws, and if a heavy fine was inflicted the defendant would hare to go to prison, for upon reaching the quarantine station the defendant was only in possession of one new English farthing. Mr Tyler thought, moreover, that as the defendant had suffered already, and the case had been sufficiently made known to the public to act as a caution to others, that a nominal penalty wou.x! meet the case. Mr Brookfield did not wish to see the man imprisoned, bub he thought the Court should impose a sufficient fine as a warning to others. The Court said the plea of ignorance conld not be accepted, as the quarantine laws were much the same all over the world ; still, as this was the firßt case under the Board of Health, and there was some mitigating cir cumstance, the fine would only be £5; costs, £3 12s. MULTUM IN PARVO. Robert Macdonald was sammoned on two charges, 1, with allowing offensive matter to drain into a footpath from his premises in the New North Road, also with neglecting to clean his yard. Mr J. B.

Mr Hawkeswood, the father of the boy, Bald Sergeant Oamble ought to have summoned the Newton boys also, who began the stone-throwing. Sub-Inspector Pardy objected to this interference on the part of Mr Hawkeswood. Sergeant Gamble proved the case beyond a doubt, and the court, remarking on the grow ing evil of throwing Btones, fined the boy 10a and costs. WANDERING HORSKS. Daniel Hamilton, farmer of Epsom, was charged with allowing his horse to wander, unprotected in Carleton Grove, on the 10bn inst.

Mr Calshaw said he was quite capable of defending himself ; and|it could not be shewn that he was the proprietor of the establish ment in question. Constable McGrath served the summons upon defendant, who was lying in bed at the time, while his wife was doing washing. Mr Calehaw said that the property be longed to Mr Chapman; but Mr Chapman did not recognise him as his tenant. The next place was a trotter-boiling establish ment, where a large business was done, and it was from their chimney that the fhre gushed forth. The Bench fined him 10s and costs. Defendant: You must give me me a week's credit, gentlemen. The Court: Very well; pay on Tuesday nexo. A MILKMAN IN" TfiOUSi/B!.

BOLTED. Sarah Ann Conway, was "summoned under 'the Licening Act, for being drunk and very disorderly in Durham-street on the 16th inst.

THE OPERA.

" LA PERICHOLE."

This lively production of Offenbach was pro duced a second time at the new theatre last night. The performance was again well re ceived, and we thought the audience seemed to enter a little better than on the first night into the fun of the dialogue. Madame Simonsen again acted and sung the part|of the heroine with the most charming sim plicity and piquancy, and again brought down the house by her irresistible humour in the marriage scene. Signor Morley exhibited & decided improvement on his firat night's performance, a. he threw himself into hie part and played it well. In voice too he was better than we have yet heard 11112: The company, as a whole, exhibited the improve ment generally manifested in a second per formance, and were rewarded by frequent rounds of applause. To-night the grand opera of " Massaniello " will be presented, and as special pains have been taken by the company to put it upon the stage in a style adequately imposing, and With every advan tage of accessory and mounting we may ex pect a triumphant success.

The Clematis.-Confirmation of her Loss.

We learn to-day that there can be ho' longer any doubt of the identity of the capsized vessel sighted by the Elizabeth, Minniehahs, and Harriett Armitage, near Bank's Penin sula, with the ketch Clematis. Captain Smith, of the Minniebaha, has telegraphed to Mr Cashrnore, asking him whether the centre board of the Clematis oame through tho centre of the keel, or through tho bottom on one side of it. Mr CashmOre telegraphed bach that it came through on one side, and named which side. In reply to this, Captain Smith says posi tively that the vessel was the ClerUatiSj as he noticed the peculiarity. The Government cheerfully responded to the request of Mr G. P. Pierce as to Renr_ing the Luna in search. She left Wellington yesterday; and arrived m Lyttelton at nine o'clock this morning, after an unsuccessful voyage. When the last telegram was sent, it was anticipated that the Luna would go out again. The Gazello was also likely to go out on her own account to endeavour to rocover the wreck. A rumour is spread in town to-day that two or three passengers, whose names have not transpired, were on board, but we can find no confirmation of the report.

THE AUCKLAND PORTS.

(To the Editor of tho Riu),

Sis, —(With a scribbler's privileges) I beg to say that I am only slowly recovering from the shock caused by the concussion with the galvanic battory of your planet with the numbers 3 and 2 -S3—living, moving, feeding poet*, and Auckland still in swath ing bands. Juno and Saturn, to say nothing of those who are teo modest to subscribe themselves poets, or t. ose who never compete upon princiole, or those whose nervous temperament was so affected by the announcement of the prize, that tke pan absolutely refused to perform anything intelligibly. The Star had previously affirmed that the city contained one born poet, and I thhnght it Just poaslhlo that there might be one or two more by adoption, but 32. Goodness Gracious i What is th» place oomiug to f Why wo shall get up some fine morning and see Auckland gliding off (Theatre Royal and all) on the outstretched wings of some moa-like Pegasns, with tho intention of allightitog gracefully en Wellington. Climatic influences indeed ! Where will it all end? Th ere is one thing to be said for the rhymestar gene rally. With probably more or less of conceit, there is a very large proportion of the kindliness of human nature in his or her composition which in more thun can be said for the would-bd critic—a creature that gives one the impression of a cross between tho bull-dog and th« monkey, and near of kin to the colonial rowdy.—Dob la__..

SIMONSEN'S OPERA COMPANY.

(To the Editor of the Star.)

Sir,—ln this morning's Daily Southern Cross appears a letter from Mr L. M. Raphael, lately employed by me as advance agent. There is only one part of the letter which I desire to answer, as it casts a slur upon my character. Every Monday morning, as it is well-known by all the members of my com pany, I settle all accounts, and pay all tho salaries to the people employed by me. Latterly, and, for reasons not necessary to explain here, I have a pay sheet which is signed by all the ladies and gentemen em ployed by me. Yesterday morning I requested Mr Raphael to do as the rest, and sign this paper ; he point blank refused. Last Sun day week, 13th inst., on my arrival in Auckland, I settled with Mr Raphael for all expenses incurred by him on my acoount up to that date for telegrams, postages, salary, etc. I did so in the presence of a witness, and my books record the fact. I did not know that in the last week, Mr Raphael had incurred any expenses for me ; if he had told me so I would have paid him, as it is my custom to settle accounts weekly. But I think that if Sigoor Morley, Mr A. Richard son, Miss Lambert, and all my company sign a receipt for their Balaries, Mr Raphael has no right to refuse to do so, unless for some particular reason of his own, which by his letter of this morning can easily be guessed at.—l am, etc., Martin Simonsen. fWe are compelled to hold over until to morrow a letter from Mr Keith on the same subjeot.—Ed.
