Councillor Wallis said they had met for a particular purpose, and he hoped they would go to that at once. Councillor Udy said as it seemed the wish of the meeting, he would alter his resolution so as to include the whole of the Council. He would move, " That a Finance Committee be appointed, consisting of the whole Council, and that they meet on Monday evening, at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of passing and paying accounts due by the Council." This was seconded.

Councillor Wrigley said he was now perfectly in order in moving that the next meeting of the Council be held at Ne\vmarket. Councillor Wallis had said at the Newmarket meeting that he had never brought before the Council the offer of the Newmarket Hall for the County meetings. He now gave that statement the most unequivocal denial, and appealed to the Councillors to say whether he had not done so. Councillor Wallis said the statement he had made at Newmarket was, that Mr Wrigley had never submitted to the Council, in his hearing, an offer of Newmarket H»ll at 10s a week.

Councillor Wrigley: TJiat was rejected in Committee. I say I did bring the matter before the Council.

' ".Councillor Wrigley's amendment waa not ,<jpnded. Udy's moti«n was put and carried unanimously. (Concluded on lourfcb. Page).

The New York correspondent of the San Francisco "Bulletin" telegraphs "A scheme matured some time ago for inducing labour, ers to emigrate to Australia must be sue cessful, judging from the increased number of ships taken up for that destination lately. The latest charter is the new ship Annie H. Smith, 1500 tons, to Sydney. The rates of passage are §40 to isso gold, and a good many who can raise the money are securing passages, mostly natives of the British Isles."

The death of Mr G. Tribe was briefly announced in a recent Wellington telegram. Mr Tribe belonged to an old and highly respectable family in the west of England, and he was a colonist of many years stand ing. He was formerly proprietor of an evening journal at Christchurch, and more recently, was editor of the "Wanganui Chronicle." He had represented Ross, Westland, in two Parliaments, and had generally supported the Vogel Ministry. He was a man of considerable energy and business capacity, and was instrumental in launching many useful undertakings. Ho leaves a widow, but, we believe, no family. His age was between 40 and 50.
