I et him employ it in some way other making it the means of placing j fellow - colonists in a position of in ft irity. Why should one man walk ahout wi n the power of forty-five men in his pocket? (Cheers.) Is land everything? Is life nothing? Are domestic affections nothing v—arc these nothing to the poorest among you ? Has he not to protect his home and his children by means of the laws which he is called on to obey ? Should he not he allowed as much right to protect his own property and his children as the richest man who lives? Why should not he be allowed to vote for the furtherance of that protection in equal proportion to others ? Is it right that a man, because lie has land, should have such a number of votes because he considers it, above all other things, such a precious possession? Is it nothing to the man of large family that he should have some security for making provision for the health anil education, for the temporal and spiritual welfare of his children ? Is it of more con sequence that some gentlemen should have more power to adorn their estates, and leave great properties in laud to their heirs? Must land be everything, and life, virtue:, morality, justice, and equity nothing ? It is the most monstrous proposition I ever heard. (Loud cheers). Sir George Grey then went, on to speak of the social misery existing in England, the hardships endured by the labouring classes. He reviewed his Parliamcntry action in urg ing that justice be done to the North Island in the matter of education, goals, and Lunatic Asylums. There was a strong party interested in the aequiremet of land by indirect means through the Native Depart ment, and no reform in tin's respect could be effected until the Native Department were swept away, lie advocated a land tax, as the means of compelling monopolists to part with unutilised land. He bad advocated the abolition of the gold duty. The Government contended that the Counties Bill gave the people the power of deciding how they should be taxed, and he had there fore asked the Government to insert a clause in that Bill giving the miners power to abolish the gold duty. The Government refused to do so, alleging that the bunks paid the tax, which he denied, and he contended that any tax which operated prejudically against an industry was an objectionable tax. He never drank spirits himself, but lie thought the tax on spirits should be removed. He did not believe that the drinking customs wore reduced by the tax. Jle argued "that the great runholders, living in England and drawing large incomes from New Zealand, should pay an income or property tax. He had endeavoured to prevent the monopoly of the runs in the South,and to throw them open to auction at the expiration of the leases in 1880. Large fortunes had been received from those im mense tracts of land, and they provided an incentive to the runholders to keep any Ministry in power that would support them. The speaker advocated Separation and triennial Parliaments, the abolition of a nominated Upper House, and a different mode of appointing (rovernors. Sir George concluded amidst loud and prolonged ap plause. Mr Carpenter moved, "That this meeting have the highest confidence in Sir George Grey, and pledge themselves to support him as their representative." MrjJGreenville moved, as an amendment, amidst much noise, " That a vote of thanks be accorded to Sir George Grey for his attendance, but the meetihg regret they cannot approve of his policy as their repre sentative." Loud crys of "No, no," and uproar. Only 13 hands were held up for the amendment, and the vote of confidence was carried by a forest of hands, amid deafening cheers. Mr Howe, M. H. It., then attempted to address the meeting, but the feeling of the meeting was so unmistakably against him, that lie was compelled to retire.. The meeting broke up with enthusiastic cheering for Sir George Grey.

LAUNCH OF MESSRS. FRASER AND TINNE'S NEW STEAMER.

One of the prettiest and most successful launches ■which has ever taken place in Auckland, came off this morning on Messrs. Fraser jincllinnoa allotment under the cliff in Mechanics Bay. The vessel launched is an iron steamer ot about r>o tons register, and shaves with Mr Yeomans vessel launched at the same moment.the honour of beinu; one of the first iron steamships of any size built in Auckland. The keel was laid about four months at^o, and since that tune the urn have kept steadily at work upon her till on Saturday she was sufficiently advanced to be ready to send into her destined clement. Her length on keel is 126 ft.; over-all, 132 ft. ; greatest beam, 17ft. Gin.: depth of hold. 7ft. 6m. ; arausht when loaded, Oft. Gin. Her lines are rather full fore'ard, but her run is graceful and nice]/ tapered away to the stern post. Her bottom is almost'flat amidships, and she is calculated to carry well on a shallow draughtpi water. She is to'hc fitted with compound surface condensing engines (of the firm's manufacture), of oO hp nominal, capable of working up to 200 h.p.. and of driving her at the rate ot fully ten knots. Her screw is 6ft. in diameter, with a pitch of lift The keel, bilge, and-shecr streaks are of ;: inch iron plates, the rest of the plating is ;>-l<» inch The angle-irons forming the framework aroii inches by three-eighths, and are placed at distances of 20 inches. The steamer has been built according to Lloyd's rules, and will wcalvo a high class. We shall be able to give a full description of the internal accomodalion when the trial trip takes place; at F™^ ono;i"-h to say that her saloon is on deck amid ships it is 10 feet long and has sleeping accom modation for 34 passengers, There is also a re cabin aft. The Inkl is 61 feet long, and is wl ventilated to enable live stock to be carried The ri» is that of a three-masted schooner. The machinery is all ready, and will be placed in her i '"ciatelv. The preparations for the launch were al made on Saturday, and as the time of hi-hTwater 0 o'clock) approached this morning, otiprations Fully as many assembled on the Jj"ak water, while the yard on all sides was hu«v with faces, and at least seventy showed ScoifldeSaointhe security oe tho arrange, mentsbv stowing themselves on board the new ship The proceedings were presiled over by vi • vVaishaw. who has superintoded the non v. «vk duv ng he building, and Mr Turner, who hZ. f had charge of the wood work was n=n r.rescat At exactly a quarter to no t« was passed for .the "rally fn"" at lifting to commence, and iminediatelj forty puirs of stalwart arms began driving home t°v-wedges » the cradle. In a few minutes the ship was sufHciently lifted to enable the keel block"to be knocked away, and now only the do-shores kept her from running clown the ways, i pause ensued while Mr Walsh aw made a close inJwction to see that no obstacle was in the road to inte 'lcre with her descent. Then, just as the dock was on the stroke of the hour appointed. The.final order was given, the last connecting links were severed with an arse, and without a oment of suspense the good steamer ltotoma )"in" for that was the name given her at this ' ; c 'ure by Miss Fraser, began her first journey. S owlv at 'lirst, but gradually accelerating her «-°ed she traversed the ways amid the loud Krs of the assembled crowds and with ppSt an oscillation, settled herselT upon the ■ the water.

board streaks are of $ iron plates; the other plating is 3-16ths in. iron. Her angle irons measure pn. by 2 in., and are Knch thick, and 20* inches apart. Her draught when loaded will be about sft. The engines are to be com pound surface condensers, with cylinders measuring 10 inches and 19 inches in diameter. Her passenger accommodation is very good for so small a vessel. She has an after cabin measuring 18ft, by 12ft., and6ft. high, and a deck cabm for ladies, measuring 12ft. by 9ft. The workmanship, whatever may bo said of the finish, is unquestionably sound and strong. Some exception has been taken in our hearing to the rivet, heads being left projecting beyond the sides. We may say in respect of this alleged fault that good judges tell us some of the best builders in England systematically leave their rivets in this state to secure greater strength of frame. Like Fraser and Tinne's vessel, the lines of the Kina (so named from the Maori word for th*» echinus or sea urchin), are full and round, giving her great buoyancy, rather than a clipper appearance. The launch altogether has been under the direction of Mr David Gouk, who has been somewhat delayed in Ms preparations owing to the awkwardness of the position. The vessel has had to be brought down from Mr Yeoman's yard, and placed in position for sending off into the little creek left between the new dry dock works and the other reclamation works. The sinallness of the space rendered great care necessary, and the ways had to bo placed at a very steep angle. Miss Eva Yeoman chris tened the vessel, which went into the water quite as gracefully as expected, one of the ways being put purposely lower than the other, to give a certain direction to the vessel's course after entering the water. Messrs Price Bros., of the Thames, have made the machinery, which will be placed in her ill a few days. The Kina is to be placed for the present on the Coroman- Ylel trade. She is to be ready for sea in three weeks time.

A man, named Jeremiah Doig, laid a complaint before the Commissioner of Cus toms, this morning, against the Master of the Industrial School. He stated, that at ten o'clock last night, his child, a girl, ten years old, came home, having escaped from school, she had heavy irons on her legs, and the iron had eaten into the ilesh. He said too, that she was in a weak emaciated con dition. Ten minutes after she arrived she was followed by the officers of the school and police, who demanded her with the irons still on, and took her to the Police station, whence she has been taken to school again. Mr. McLean promised a strict investiga tion, and should the statements prove true, redress. He said it was anything but his duty and desire to shield anyone who had committed such an offence as that alleged.

On resuming m Grace v Grace, the Chief Justice said they desired to hear nothing further from Grace, and adjourned the further hearing until to-morrow, when Mr Buller could produce an affidavit as to the receipt of a copy of the petition by the Solicitor General.

THEATRE ROYAL.

A NEW season at this new and popular place of amusement, will open this evening, under the lessee-ship of Mr. l>e Lias, upon which grand occasion, the talented Lingard family will appear for the iirst time, in this city. Both Mr. W. Horace Lingard, and Miss Alice D. Lingard, who have "won fame iii England and Australia, will com mence their new career this evening, in Mr. Byron's three-act-comedy, entitled " Our Boys," which was performed for more than fiOO nights in London, and 52 in the cities of Duncdin, and Christ cliurch. The comedy comprises bnt comparatively few characters, yet these are sufficient for success. Mr. Lingard, repre sents a retired buttorman, and Miss Lingard will impersonate Mary Melrose. Miss Laura Wiseman, appears as Violet; Mr. Lawrance as Champney ; and Mr. Holloway as Charley Middlewick, Mr. and Mrs Hedc, will also figure prominently as Sir Geoffrey, and Belinda. The comedy will be well put upon the stage, and well repre sented : hence good results must necessarily ensue. The piece with which the Lingards oneii, may be said to be the most successful comedy of the day. "Our Boy; is ulic composition of Mr. li. J. Byron : and it enjoyed a run of over (>'oo nights,at the Vau deville Theatre in London, and has been tremendously popular wherever else pro duced. The plot of the piece though simple, is well constructed, and the dialogue pointed and racy. The story turns princi pally upon a mistaken idea of what is parental and filial duty. Mr. Lingard takes the part of Perkin Middlewick, and his acting in the character is spoken of everywhere as worthy of the highest praise. lie thoroughly throws himself into his role, and his style is eminently natural, and at the same time in the highest degree artistic. .Mrs Lingard plays the part of Mary ideirose, and if the Southern press speaks truly, her performance is a rare treat. It is a splendidly complete portrait of a beautiful woman, (a part, Mrs. Lingard requires no making'up, to assume) audits effect is heightened, by the most beautifully depicted emotional traits. The Lingard's are bound to become favourites.

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXHIBITION.
