Thk resolution of the House of Representa tives yesterday^ adjudging the Governor guilty of a, breach of privilege in taking cognizance of business before parliament, administers a sharp snub to those political proclivities and party leanings which the Marquis of Nonaanby has repeatedly ex hibited during his term of cilice. We are sure that no people could be more loyal, none have shewn more respect for the successive representatives of Her Majesty ia this colony, than the people of Auckland. If, therefore, the present Governor-has not secured that esteem and goodwill which was maintained by his predecessors it is because the people sus pect, and not without reason, that he has opposed himself to a cause which they have sincerely at heart. For the Governor as an emblem of the tie which unites the colony to the homo country we have a profound respect ; but when the Governor becomes a political partizan he throws oil' the armour that would securely protect him from the rude bufFettings" of popular warfare, and is no more invulnerable than any other politician possessing ex ceedingly crude notions of popular sym pathies, and aspirations. The " Herald " this morning discusses the subject of the Governor's oifence in an article as forcible in its authorities as it is feeble and impotent in its deductions. The precedents culled by the writer from Hastnll are weighty. On various previous occasions in England the principle had been decisively affirmed, but on the 17th of December, 1873, the House of Commons resolved: "That it is now necessary to declare that, to report any opinion or pretended opinion of His Majesty upon any bill or other proceeding depending in either House of Parliament, with a view to influence the votes of members, is a high crime and mis demeanour, derogatory to the honour of the Crown, a breach of the fundamental privileges of Parliament, and subver sive of the Constitution of this country." Language could scarcely express more strongly the alarm with which any undue influence exerted by the King on the parliament was viewed by the House of Commons, and yet immediately afterward the writer in the " Herald " inquires : "To what does all till == trivial formalism (!) and hunting up of ancient musty and inapt precedents lead?" "Is it not some thing like farcical to aver that a Governor of a Colony, who is daily kept acquainted, as are every man and woman who read the newspapers, with what is going on in Parliament, shall pretend that he knows nothing of such proceedings ?" Surely the " Herald " does not suppose that in the 18th century more than to-day the Sovereign was ignorant of what was tran spiring within the walls of parliament, or can fail to see that the whole structure of representative Government falls in ruins if the Crown may directly in fluence the proceedings of parliament, or. as the Marquis of Normanby has done, antici pate a decision which may never be arrived at by the legislature. This is no question of "trivial formalism" and "inapt precedent," it aims at the very root of those constitutional liberties which have been bought with the blood of England's long line of illustrious patriots. We may value these privileges below their worth, but still there is a general feeling of pain and resentment at the partizanship dis played by his Excellency in his relations to the political factions now forming the colonial' parliament, and that feeling is neither inure nor less than an offspring of the same strong English instinct which breathes through the resolu tion of the House of Commons quoted by our contemporary. The conclusion of the "HeraJd" that "the mistake his Excel lency appears to have made was not so much in refusing to call Mr Wilson to the Upper House, as in ' giving reasons,' " is scarcely less shallow than its flippant references to "trivial formalism." If the reason given by his Excellency was the true reason ; and if that reason is found to be bad, opposed to constitutional usage, and a violation of Parliamentary privilege, surely the action, which was founded on the reason, must be bad also. If the Governor's only ground for refusing to appoint Mr Wilson to the Upper House was the pending want of confidence motion, and it is admitted that His Excellency should not have allowed that to weigh with him, surely Mr Wilson ought to have been ap pointed! It is true that the Governor may change his ground, and openly disclose his animus against the Grey Cabinet, by posi tively refusing to nominate Mr Wilson; then' the resignation of the Ministry: would become inevitable, and it would be for Parliament to say whether it Vas. prepared to submit to His Excellency's dictation.

The members of the Domain Board have kindly granted the application of the Odd fellows, for the holding of their demonstra tion in the domain on the Prince of Wales birthday; when, amid the festivities of the day, the two new representative banners will be unfurled, ~ .Mr.Farrell, late of, the, brig Vision, has 'opened; an hoterhi Apia, ' j ' The' p,s_ Takap'una is'to be laid on for conveying 1 horses' to the North Shore races from 9 a.m. on Thursday next.

An Indian woman, whjle bathing, on the 26th, near Victoria, British Columbia, was pulled beneath the surface of the water by an octopus, or devil fish, and drowned. The body was discovered the following day, lying on the bottom of the bay in the em brace of the monster. Indians dived down, and with their knives severed the tentacles of the octopus and recovered the body. This is the first recorded instance of death from such a cause in this locality, but there have been several narrow escapes.

Mr Caleb Robinson, of Grey-street, writes: "Sir, —Allow me through yonr useful paper to state that,l think His Excellency was quite risrht in not appointing the gentle men nominated by the Executive,, seeing that there was a charge of incompetency hanging over their headh. Would any arbitrator attempt to make a report or decide a case until the question at issue had been fully disenssed ? Would any judge appoint any man to an office at the recommendation of others who^were at the same time liable to be turned out_ of the same department, seeing the appointment was chosen to strengthen their case ? Would any merchant take such a recom mendation for the appointment of an em ploye in his prime ? Would you, sir, take such a recommendation for anyplace in your office ? Sir, I think that it would be wrong for the Governor to appoint anyone, no mat-, ter by whom recommended, in the present ;jtate of the House ; for from what I can gather, the public opinion is that there should be a dissolution, and let the country decide ; although I have very little faith in that operation, seeing that our interests are generally thwarted by the Southern mem bers having a majority in all cases affecting the two islands, and I think the *>nly cure is .Separation. [Our correspondent is unfortunate in Ills similes. The Governor docs not occupy die position of arbitrator, judge, or em ployer. His attempt to place himself in that position is precisely what has led him into an infringement of the privileges of Parliament. Parliament appointed Ministers, and it will be time enough for the Governor to assume that the House lias no confidence in them when a resolu tion to that effect' has been passed.—Ed. E.S.] ,

Mr W. E. James, of the Mysore Itevenue Survey Service, Avritcs to a friend in Eng land :— ;< Bangalore , July 22. There is nothing to write about save the famine, which is staring every one in the face ; the cduntry is like a vast desert. My com pound,' where cvefi last year I was able to keep two cows, will not now graze a goat. The railway is taxed to its utmost limit, and is bringing 4000 tons of grain a week into the province ; but as this will only feed a million and a-half of people the other three million and a-half in Mysore must starve, as all the stores of grain in tlic country are exhausted. Already "the sufferings of the people are a'VYfiil ; thereis aregularserviee organised in addition to the police to keep the streets of Bangalore clear of the dead and dying, but outside the municipal limits dead bodies are lying in all dire ction ; tho lower castes are cooking aird eating the bodies, two men were caught doing so, and have been brought before the magistrate this week. Two clays ago, when riding past the Hussar stables, I saw a crowd of wretched woman and children routing in the dung heap, and picking out the undigested grains ot corn to eat."

The fifth of November'is last losing its character as the anniversary of the gunpowder plot of the time of King James, and is now mainly remembered by boys, who seldom trouble themselves about the event"which bonfires and crackers arc intended to celebrate. A few attempts at getting up a blaze were visible in the outskirts of the city; but nature was not favourable to the follies of youth. The rain descended upon the insignificant Guys, and put out the fires. All was over by bed-time, and no mischief done.

We have to acknowledge £1 from" Grate ful," and £1 Is from F.W.D., iti aid of the Famine Fund; also 3s 6d from J. V., for Widow Coughlau.

A distribution of books was made yesterday by Mr'F. Larking for the Gift and Prize Association, to the children of No. 2 City West schools. The scholars were examined, by Revs. Allan W. Webb and R.

ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH.

A meeting of the congregation of St. Andrew's church was held last evening, the Rev. Bruce in thechair. Hot. Mr Brown explained the action the commissioners appointed by the Presbytery had taken in relation to the call of a minister to fill the pulpit of St, Andrew's, the Rev. Mr Davidson of Rutherglen, near Glasgow, being named for the position. Mr Thomas Peacock in formed the meeting that the call had been sent to Rev. Mr Davidson, who had declined to accept it. A letter had Since been received from Professor Bruce, which held out no further immediate prospect. Another letter had been shown to the committee, in which it was stated that the clergyman who had at one time been expected at Remuera, bnt who had gone to Africa, might be induced to accept the call if it were given to him. A very strong feeling existed among the congregation in favour of the Rev, Alexander Carrick, who had been conducting the services of the church for some time past; and it was pleasing to observe that the general [op nion of the congregation and committee was unanimous in regard to the ability aud suitability of Rev Mr Carrick as minister of that congregation, and the present meeting was called for the purpose of presenting the resolutions of the committee. Mr Peacock then moved, and Mr Whitson seconded, " That the commissioner appointed by the Presbytery be appointed to take the necessary steps for moderating a call."—Rev. D. Bruce (Moderator), then read letters, speaking in high terms of the qualifications of the Rev. A, Carrick, from Rev. J. M. Eung, of Gould-street Churcfl, Toronto; from the Rev. W. Garron, D.D., Knox's College, Toronto; from the Rev. William Grey, Knox's College, Toronto ; and from Professor Fraser,—ln reply to Mr Mowbray as!to salary, Mr Peacock said the committee had unanimously agreed to give the Rev- Mr Carrick £450 per year, and an aliowance of £150 to bring airs Carrick and family from Canada. The committee were unanimous on the proposal now made.—After some remarks from Mr Sibbin, the report was adopted, and a further meeting announced to be held on- Monday evening next in respect of the call.

To the Editor : Sir, —It is currently reported that a letter has been addressed to your journal from a recent employe in the Union Beach mine, containing positive state ments effecting the mine; and that those statements are such as, if true, to clearly sheet home charges of improper conduct. But further, that being of such a r,ro- Dounced character, the letter cannot, for prudential reason, be inserted. May I inquire if this report be correct ?—Yours, &c., QuiESTOK. [We believe the writers of a letter on the Beach mine forwarded to us have made no secret of its contents, which may bear the description applied by our correspondent.—Ed. E.S.]

The secretary of the Indian Famine Fund brought for our inspection a small box of ferns. It is in the form of a book with boards of mottled kauri, the back of rewarewa, and a diamond of mottled totara in the centre; the word " Ferns" is c.arved on the back ; the inside is lined with velvet, and the ferns themselves are very handsome specimens, being of an excellent form and colour. The box is the work of Mr T. Cranwell, and has been pre sented by him as a contribution to the Famine Fund, and will be- on sale at Mr Waytes'. We think that a purchaser will be readily found, for a prettier or more suitable present for English friends can scarcely be imagined, The alligator which, was brought to Auckland in the schooner Mary Anderson has been splendidly stuffed by Mr Yandle, taxidermist, of (.iucen-street, add will be exhibited to-morrow in the empty shop adjoining Messrs Hewin Bros., at the corner of Queen and Wellesley-streets. The monster is 1-ift. Gin. long, and of great bulk. It is well worth inspecting. Mr Justice Gillies leaves by the Rotorua to-day for Wellington to be present at the Court of Appeal. Durinujjhis aVsjr.ce the Registrar will sit in Chambers on Tuesdays and Fridays. Israel Edwards, an old sailor, who fought under Nelson at Trafalgar, died at Brighton. It is said that he was 106 years of age.

The Melbourne Cup.

" CUP DAY " AT FLEMINGTON

[By Augue.]

Plere we are on the course at last, a good, hour before the first race wi.l be run, and with plenty of tune to look-about us.

The story of our adventures by the way would fill a bulky volume. We arrive lat Spencer street station early under the delusion that wo should escape a crush, and so we might if all the world had not thought it would do precisely the same thins?. As it was. we were tearfully bustled and squeeze'!, for we af c not fat nor powerful. Only voluminous people fare well in crowds. At last, however, we managed to enter a first-class carriage through the open window, falling bang on our head, to the detri ment of a smart new hat, specially purchased for tho occasion.

Bus thank the gods, all that is over now and till the awful moment when the manner of returning homo becomes a necessary consider ation, we have nothing to do but enjoy our selves.

Already the grand stand is uncomfortably full, and "the " hill " appears a s< arming mass of human beings. The ladies' costumes, most of them specially purchased for this great occasiQn, remind us of Koy.-tl Enclosure at Ascot, and "the lawn" at glorious Goodwood. A person, some time ago, published a book entitled, "'How o dres3 on fifteen yjounds a year." It must have been a terrible secret to reveal. Most of the ladies at Flerr.ington to-day, look as if they could not dress on £1,500 a year. As Australian fashions follow English fashions closely, we are Bcaroely astonished to observe that grey, pink, canary, and light blue, are the tints most in vogue for ladies' costumes Skirts are worn as tightly as evei\.displaying the human form to perfection or imperfection, as the case may be. Bloom of roses, majesty of bismuth, and lip salve, are not positively articles of wearing. apparel. They will, however, be largely adopted at Fleminston to-day, to hide the ravages of time and an Australian climate. Dear me. how densely crowded the stand is, we can hardly move." There is a sound as of subdued cheering, and a lady near us gushingly remarks, "It's that darling. Sir George,'' and so it is. Behold our Governor, placidly dignified, suavely smil ing, and with him we observe a burly old English gentleman, whom we havonodisticulty in reccLrni-ing astlicpopularrulerof New South Wales, "Sir Eriiiles," the bookmakers call him.

Andnow "on right, on left, above, below," we can sen nothing but a seething mass of humanity The bell ring's for the first race, and the cours:-. is cleared. "Sweeps" are hurriedly made up, and ■we lind ourselves hurried on all sides by friends. each of who n want us to " put in " his own par ticular lott ry. By-and-bye we hear a shout, and observe f-.omc jockeys' colours flash past. The race is over. We saw nothing of it—but no matter, " the cup's the thing"" We will take a walk amongst the vehicles. Lunch is the busi ness of the hour. We part-ike of chicken maronnnise, and quaff the glorious vintage of champagne, tempered with lumps of ice. Our spirits rise, and we Kaze noon ttie festive crowd with favourable eyes. What a strange motley mob it is. In England, the occupants of the grand stands at the chief meetings?, are always tolembly well dressed. Here the neatly cos tumed townsinaa rubs elbows with the rough bushmnn, in his immense hat and corduroy breeches.

The bushraen take a great interest in the event of the day. Ni^ht after night for months past, they have discussed the handicap in their lonely nfrcs, and finally they have risked their two or three pounds on " the Governor's colt,;' or Johnny Tail's lot." To-day they meet together tncorners and talk of past cups, of the peerless Barb, of the noole Quack, of the game Don Juan, and of Wollomais' easy victory. But hark ! the bell is ringing for the Cup. Clear the course !It ia time we found a good place to view the race from, Ah ! this wOl do. We are onlyjustready when the horses appear.

What a field ! " Talk about, the Cesarewitch,' says a new chum n-^ar us, " Why we have never seen so many starters as this at Newmarket for half-a-dozen years." We wMi the quality of the field equalled its quantity. There are some very nigged bushes amongst them. The favourites are beautifully trained, and really look as though they ought to win, but then we know that fan ccd horses never do carry off the Melbourne Cup. Here they come past the stand for the first time. An outsider leads, but the favourites are in a good position, lying well up as they disap pear in the distance, and opei;a glasses are brought into use. A momentary but anxious silence prevails, till the horses come in sight again. Then there arises a perfect Babel of voices, everyone shouting out the names of the first horses. "The Wilson wins—no, Tait wins —Haricot—Amendment—Artful Joe," and then we hear a wild shout as the winner of 187 i for the second time dashes" triumphantly past the post.

THE LATEST MARKET MOVE MENTS.

By the files to hand by the Rotorua, we have notes of the. market movements on the Melbourne Cup up to the l«-t inst. The following are the bulletins sent by the " Sydney Morning Herald" special reporter from the course.

Melbourne, Saturday, Oct. 27th. Plenty of good work was done this morning, but nothing sensational. Savanaka is firmer for the Cup. Beting remains as telegraphed yesterday, namely:—" Savanaka is now ihe favourite for tho Cup. and 1000 to 100 has been taken ; the same price is offered against Woodlands."

Painter, Pride of the Hills, Royalty, Wollomai. Aldinga, and Needle went par ticularly well this iMorning.

Monday, Oct. 29. Ine sensation of the day has been the advance of Savanaka for the Cup, and after 1000 to 100 had been taken, he left off firm at that figure.

PARLIAMENTARY.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day. YESTERDAY'S BUSINESS.

When the House met yesterday there were about 34 members present. The Ministers looked very cheery in their places as usual. The Premier gave notice of an Act to amend the Disqualification Act. He also laid on the table a return of customs col lected ; this was ordered to be printed. Several reports on petitions were brought up. The report of the Railway Management Committee, with evidence, was ordered to be printed.

THE GOVERNOR'S PRIVILEGE CASE.

. Mr Trovers presented the report of the Privileges' Committee. The report states : " That, in obedience to an order of the House, immediately after the adjournment on Friday last, the Com mittee sat. Since then they had given con sideration to the question. A division took place ; and a search for precedents was in stituted. Ihe Committee found that the records of parliament and constitutional history tend to the principle that no notice should be taken, by an act of the Crown, of any matter in agitation in the House ; and smch notice was an infringement of the privileges of parliament." The report quoted the memorandum of the Governor, stating that the Governor declined to act on the advice of his Responsible Ministers, because a want of confidence motion was pending.

Mr Travers moved : " That this House concurs in the report o? the Select Com mittee on Privileges, and that a respectful address be presented by the House to the Gvernor, enclosing the resolution.? ft was understood to be the desire of the Speaker that the House should adjourn until half-past seven.. Sir George Grey thought that time should be given for consideration. Major Atkinson opposed the adjourn ment, and wanted immediate discussion. Sir George Grey said the object was to obtain time for careful consideration.

Here Mr Fitzroy and some other Opposi tion members laughed. Mr Recs slated members of the House for laughing at a proposal to take time for con sideration in such a serious matter.

Mr Travers made an excellent speech on the constitutional aspect of the question. SIR WILLIAM FITZHEKBEIiTS

HEALTH

In the Eoifse yesterday afternoon, the Premier, with indulgence, moved that the Speaker be authorised during the remainder of the session to call upon the Chairman of Committees to take charge at such times as he may require him to do so. (Cries Aye.. Aye). Major* Atkinson seconded the motion, and it was carried on the voices.

The Speaker'thanked the; House. He is evidently in ill-health.

Mi O'Rorke tcok the chair soon after wards, aiid the Speaker retired. In answer to Mr Stout, the acting Speaker, said that the proceduiein the case of the breach of privilege would be to embody the report in an address to the Governor, and present it to his Excellency. THE NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION. - Mr Hamlin was the first to speak on the resumption of this debate. He made a strong attack on Major Atkinson for breaking his pledge to allow the new Ministry time to sift the state of the finances before trying to oust them. He was very hot in the Native Lands' Bill, and deelired his convic tion that war with the natives would have followed its passing. He believed the member for Egmont was influenced by sor did and mercenary motives in bringing it down.

Major Atkinson, in an angry tone, asked the Speaker if he heard the language used by the hon. member. Tht Speaker ruled that the words^were uuparliamedtary. Mr Hamlin withdrew them, but he could not help being under the same impvession. He called upon the native member Takamaona to verify what he said about the natives. If they did, it woiild probably cost them another ten million. Headvocated the keeping of the Ministry in office because they would open up the country and conciliate the Maoris.

Mr Tole spoke next. He condemned the conduct of the late premier in showing such haste to bring down|the motion. It showed they were actuated by no desire for the good of the country, but only by a desire to get back to office.

Mr W. Wood advocated adjournment until the Goyernor and Government had come to some decision on the breach of privilege. Major Atkinson was against this.

Mr Kees said the Governor must do one thing or the other. He must either follow the advice of his advisers or reject it. If he rejected it the Ministry had only one course, which was to resign. He held that it would be unfair to

all parties to proceed with business while such an important matter was pending. The Governor was a person not recognised in the Constitution Act, and is his excellency had determined to beard the House, the latter would be bound in defence of its rights to refuse to recognise him, and Ministers would be forced to resign. Mr Tiavers spoke in favour of the adjourn ment. The House adjourned until 7.30 THE EVENING S TTINF. There was a good muster of members at the opening of the evening sitting, as every one was on the gui vive to know how the Governor had swallowed his bitter draught The Speaker read the reply from his Excel lencyi which was to the effect that he had sent it to his constitutional advisers, and as soon as he knew their advice he would communicate it to the House. There was some laughter on this being read to the House. Sir George Grey moved the adjournment of the House. After several gentlemen had endeavoured in vain to get a hearing, Mr. George McLean Avas allowed to proceed. He said the Government were simply playing with the House. They knew they were to be beaten, and wanted to delay the stroke.

Mr. Moorhouse, who followed, said he believed the whole difficulty had arisen in consequence of the Governor being still led by his previous Ministers. The House which during the short sitting had been uncommonly lively, ad journed at Sj p.m. until 2.30 p.m. to morrow.

This Afternoon

THE DIVISION.

THE GOVERNMENT WIN

After the House opened to-day, Mr. Larnach gave notice of a bill to borrow for public works.

"After a short silence, the Speaker asked whether it was the pleasure of the House that he should put the question in the pending want of confidence debate.

When me Jspe a w j^,^,^ tQ , m ± th? question, Mr McLean rose to speak.

Mr Stout : " Who wastes time now ?" Another voice from the Government

benches : " Why don't you face it ?" Mr McLean said he was now going /SX ■with the question of no-confidence.

SUPREME COURT.—THIS DAY.

CHAMBER SITTING.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies),

RE M. KENNEDY (BANKRUPT).

This case had been adjourned from last Court day, when the application for dis charge was made, 0:1 account of an error in the trustee's report.

Mr Robinson, on behalf of the bankrupt, now renewed the application, an affidavit of the trustee having been tiled in the meanwhile.

His Honor granted the bankrupt's discharge. BE LEW AKD GOLDWATEK.

Aii application was made through. Mr Tyler for an order of the Court giving permission to enter and seize certain goods stored in Lewis Bros, bond, and in respect of which Lewis Bros, hsd issued bond warrants to Messrs Levy and Gfoldwater to secure payment of certain bills and pro missory notes. Mr Hesketh, on behalf of Lewis Bros., objected that sufficient time had not been given to file affidavits in reply; and secondly, that assuming the application to be heard this morning, the Court could not decide on it whether the goods were Lewis Bros, or the trustee's, but could only give the trustee leave to bring an action. His Honor concurred in this view, sad said he did not see how he could grant the order for a search warrant, but only author ising the bringing of au action. Messrs Lewis Bios stated that on the accounts between Levy and tJold water jpid themselves being adjusted, they would be prepared to pay the ballauce in and hand over the goods.

RE ARTHUR UTTIXG. APPLICATION UNDER THE FRAUDULENT :^-'nsJ:-'§^ debtors' act. MTa." E. Whitaker applied for an order for the trustee to be allowed to prosecute the bankrupt under sub-section 15, of sec tion 7 of the Fraudulent Debtors' Act, 1875. The clause sets forth that a bankrupt may be prosecuted who obtains goods on credit, under the false pretence of carrying on trade. The application was supported by seveial affidavits, which his Honor studied atten tively and then said he considered they dis closed sufficient to justify hint in issuing the order applied for. There was other private business trans acted.
