Meeting at Parnell Hall.

REPRESENTATIVES OF THE xHRIDING F REQUESTED TO .VOTE AGAINST THE ACT.

\ AiEßTixfi of Pamell ratepayers wag hold in the Parnell Hall last night, the object being the discussion of the Comities' Act, and their repre sentatives conduct in relation to it. The hall was densely crowded, a large number of persons bein cr obliged to stand. Mr B Tonics was voted to the chair, and read the advertisement convening the meeting. As chairman, he did not consider it incumbent on him to express his opinion of the Act, or lo *a,y whether they should hang it up, or hang the Councillors, (laughter). Mr Kissling was present and perhaps he would address them. Mr KissliDg at once came forward. Ho was of "opinion that the subject they were met to discuss was great importance, as closely altect in? the interests of all. To-night he was glad,to sco a meeting of ratepayers, and not a mob who had come to hiss and to hoot. He saw before him an assemblage of gentlemen whom lie hacl known from his infancy, and for whom he had the greatest respect. At Newmarket, in conse quence of the interruptions, he was unable to give full expression to his feelings, and to the reasons why he thought the Act should be brought into force. The reasons he had assigned , at that meeting he should briefly touch upon again. In the first place it would be necessary to make some new arrangements for the tolls. If the Act did not come into force, all tho toll jr-itps which were not in a Koad Board .District wrulcl not be able to levy any tolls for two months as the financial notification would be rendered nnll and void. As to the slaughter house unless some measures were taken by them' the Government would at once take possession of the fees, and perhaps they would never see them again. The present slaughter house was a disgrace to humanity. He had visited it a few nights ago, and he considered that it was barbarous for it to remain as it was a single day longer. The speaker drew a vivid picture of the disgusting scones ho had witnessed In the slanghter-house. Tho Government, if they got the fees, would probably allow the place to remain as it was. ("No, no," and "The Corporation will tako it over. ) Ihat he did not think was at all certain. Then as to tho County Roads. Lrnlesa the County took these over, the Government would administer them and deduct tho expense from their subsidies. They ought to consider this carefully. They might depend upon it that if they allowed their roads to be maintained lrom Wellington, they would regret it. A stitch in time saved nine, and they could put in the necessary stitches if they had the roads, but if the Government had them, they would be allowed to become very bad before they were attended to, and would then cost twice as much. He had been asked to explain the Counties Act. There were 213 sections in it, and if they wished, he would go right through them. (Laughter). He had carefully studied all of them, and had extracted the pith, and he spoke in their inter ests not in his own, when he said they would act very unwisely if they rejected the system of self-government which hadv now been offered them. He had no personal ends to serve, by being in the County Council. He was there at the request of the ratepayers, and he had come to the conclusion he had done with regard to the Act only after due deliberation. After the expression of opinion at Newmarket he had tendered his resignation to the chairman—(sen sation)— and although he would not vote against his convictions, he would consent not to vote at 'l (The announcement made by Mr. Kisaling was evidently not expected, and created a singular effect, the audience being evidently puzzled how to receive it). Mr. John Abbott said he should not have pre sumed to address them but for some observa tions which had fallen from Mr. Kissling us'to the meeting at Newmarket. It was a falsehood to say that the people of that meeting had gone to it for the purpose of hissing and hooting Messrs Kissling and Wriglcy. The meeting was a respectable meeting of ratepayers, and whatever wasiiTcgularinthecourseof.it was owing to the imbecility of tho chairman, (laughter.) Mr Kissling: I said there were a numocr who went there for the purpose of hissing me. Mr Abbott: Mr Kissling said ratepayers were invited to go there for the pur pose of hissing him, and I say it is a deliberate lie (hisses, and cries of order and Parliamentary, please). The speaker went on to defend the idea of roads being governed from Wellington. The interest, taken in the Newmarket meeting wa< due to the ad cap tandum vulgus dodge of Councillors Kissling and Wriglcy (laughter). They had gone thither expecting to have a nice little meeting and a nice little vote of confidence, and they came to grief. They had dug a h<rle, and fallen into the midst of it themselves (laughter). They had erected their own altar. Mr Wriglcy had taken a faggot, and Mr Kissling had taken a faggot, and "Mr Taylor a bundle of stiaw : they had put them on the altar, and somebody had struck a match (laughter). He looked upon that Newmarket gathering as a glorious field day in which the risdit had triumphed. " Gentlemen in England now abed, Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, , ~ And hold their manhood's cheap whiles any

speaks. That fought with us at Newmarkeu (Loud cheers and laughter). He could say more. At Newmarket a great constitutional question had been settled, and hereafter the spot would be looked upon as the Runnymede of New Zealand. (Renewed laughter and cheers). He had never heard Caleb Wood speak so well as he did then. Hi" arguments were conclusive, and his facts overwhelming. But oh, when poor old Wrigley was immolated, (Roars). A Voice: Did we come here to listen to buncome or to hear an explanation of the Act ? Let's have the figures. Mr Abbott: Well, he would go into fieuros. He believed he had taken in figures with his mother's milk, and he was well prepared on that head. The Government subsidy was £3 800 a year. As to this.he thought they might possibly get the same proportion of it as they got of the road board subsidies, which was 16s 8d out of £2. The licenses would amount to £1300; the tolls to £3.500; land fund £105 (he Wished they might get it); and dogs £100: total £tOvIO (sic). * The expenditure would b-a: roads, £3 10ft; hospital, £1850 ; salaries, £1000 : total: say A'i.OOO. Here was a deficiency of £2000 to A voice: "Stand still, will you please (laughter). . . (Mr Abbott was walking quickly from side to side of the stage after the manner of Spurgeon. Another voice : "The income is £3000." Mf Abbott: If you are not satisfied, walk out. (Order order, and loud laughter). He would now wo into the conduct of the Councillors. First as to tho banking arrangement. A bank tender was received, and was accepted, and when one of the Councillors wished to know the tenor of it, it was denied to him, and was only furnished where an action at law had been com menced (hisses). If they did these things in the screen tree what would they do in the dry 1 (Laughter). Why did they want to act in the dark? Because their deeds were evil, and would not bear the light. (Cheers). Mr Kissling mi^ht well talk of the slaughter-house, but no exhalations from that fetid den were half so bad as the exhalation from that Council Chamber, foul with secret plotting^ and job bery. (Cheers genuine and ironical). Then as to the great seal' (laughter). "If I had the genius of a Newton, or the tongue of an archangel;,..., X. Jf. I could rifle the earth of her treasures or the sea of her gems—

Mr Abbot (indignantly): What is rot? He felt certain even if he had all these united with the mind of Shakespeare, or the fluency o£ Macaulay, not even then coulrl he do justice to that seal. What a scone was there depicted. It might be divided into three heads—celestial, terrestrial, and infernal. The garden of Eden, rich in loveliness and verdure, its apple tree so loaded as to surest unlimited cider (laughter). And then there was the lovely inhabitant—a lady as Nature made her—rich in that garb of innocence which knows no shame, an example of the truth that beauty unadorned is adorned th« most. This angel oE Wrigley's (roars of Jau^htcr), in all sober earnest, seemed a most incoii'Tnous lady.and somewhat sensual. Then there was the plough and the sheep. The idea was " tickle the earth and she will smile with the harvest." Mind lie did not say tickle the lady (laughter). The plough wanted some companions he should suggest a Vaile's double-action million power rotary engine, and a Strange's patent earth closet.. The chairman here interrupted the speaker. He had taken the chair to conduct a meeting to discuss the Counties Act. He really could not alow the time to be taken up with any more of Mr. Abbott's fervid and rather lewd allusions to the sS&I. Mr. Abbott maintained he had kept to fair criticism. He had simply held up the mirror in which thf*y could see the action of their Coun cillors reflected, and if the picture was distaste ful , they must blame their representatives not him. lie felt sure that " the cloud-capried towers, the glorious palaces—yea, the great globe itself," would pass away and be dissolved, but that seal would survive them all, and live for all eternity. Mr. Abbott retired amid loud cheers. .Mr. Caleb Wood said he should not attempt the ilowery eloquence of Mr. Abbott. He would mention a few matters of fact. He had been present- at one meeting of the Council, and he had there seen ar» oil gentle man insulted, and measures proposed and carried as if the Act was in force. He had been led by this to think of the importance of the subject. As to the tolls, of which Mr Kisshngi had spoken, he disputed the contention that any inconvenience would be caused by tho non working of the Act. The slaughter-house was certainly a preat nuisance, ;j.nd he hoyjed he «iiould s^n see it altered. The County Councils, 3ie took^S were intended to take tne place of the Pro*iiisM Councils. The material portion of the Act. i*rhis estimation at legist, had not been touchad upon by Mr Killing. He referred to the rating clauses, It had baen said fcbat Prcmnef&l Councils had died from <w*nt of fimrtg, but what would hava fceea their paaiitoa it. they had been fcbls, Jike the County Councils, to impose a Is m tho pound on all rateable proporty in tn» sprovfnes. Ho would leave Mr Abbott to Una tsct y>.e amount, but he might tell tlwtm this touch, \,feat they would have had ten times &&

been said that the Council did not require to levy the rate. But he had seen valuators pro posed, and from this it was evident that they had the rating in view. (Hear, hear.) Why was it that in the South they had almost unani mously agreed to hang up tho Act. Per haps it was that tho Southern people were wiser than those in tho North. With regard to the slaughter-house fees, he denounced them as a direct and unjust tax upon the butchers. He considered that it was only right that the butchers should be able to do their business, where they pleased. If taxation was necessary, let a general tax be imposed. Mr AVood alluded to the steps which had been taken to form Parnell into a borough, and said it appeared to him a monstrous thing that those representatives, whose riding was virtually out of tho County, should endeavour to force the Act upon other ridings. He thought it should be distinctly understood by the people of Pon sonby and Newton that they did not want to shove them into a, mess, which at the same time they were desirous of avoiding themselves.

Kherrin, for an alleg-d libel in letter, signed "Auckland," published in the "Waimate Tri bune" of the fourteenth. As Sherrin was about to leave, he was this morning arrested.

RACING NOTES.

Fluctuation is the osder of the day in the bet ting market. Puriri holds the position of nominal favourite at. G to 1, but it is not touched at that price. Even 8 to 1 could be got about him by a little trouble. Temploton being gene rallyinvestcdin. The idea is gaining ground that ho will be the chosen one of the stable. Fish hook is firm at about his old price, 8 to 1. Hippocampus is commanding the same figure. Titania was backed on Saturday night to win a co'iple ol! thousands at extreme odds, and is now quotable at 100 to 6 without takers ; Bower and Dead Heat are at 10 to 1; Punga and King Phillip 100 to 9; Danebury, Elfin King, and Guy, at 100 to 8.

Derby :—4 to 1 against Puriri; 5 to 1 against Fallacy and Danebury ; 7 to 1 against Hippo and Dead Heat.

In a £96 Calcutta Sweep last night, Rny fetched £1; Templeton, £10; Fishook. £8 10s; Bower, £tl9s ; Punga, £o ; Puriri, £4 ; Klfin King, £3 10s ; Hippo, £4; Fallacy, £1 10s; King Phillip, £5. This morning Guy and Puriri went twice round the outside hurdles with Danebury. The race made that pretty hot on part of the way, the two rounds being done in 1 minutes 11J- seconds. Guy is in splendid trim, and pulled hard all the way. Puriri also went strong. Danebury, though held back twenty lengths behind the leaders, went quite within himself, and could have gone up to Puriri at any moment. Bribery went a steady gallop by herself. Templeton and Ellin King worked together this morning, the pair being sent twice round at three-quarter speed. Punga and ft'itania followed the elder mare, going magnificonty. Hi:vpo and Tadmor went 1 $ miles. The pair started together, but the colt soon laft his mate in the lurch. Fishhook, Fallacy, and Dead Heat were sent twice round at a good striding gallop, the first leading, Dead Heat again going rather unkindly. Fishhook's time for the last two rounds: 2 mins, ljsecs. Right Bower galloped twice round the hurdles in frnin. 50 sees. He sweated a little, but looks well. King Phillip wont 2J miles in his hood after the visitors had left the ground. He went freer than usual, and, as appearances go, will strip one of the b -st horses on the course.

A LEAP FROM A WINDOW.

Matilda Davison, a young woman aged 19, leaped from a Avindow this morning, in West Queen-street, a distance of 20 feet. It appears from the evidenca of Mrs Fentoh, that the girl had been very strange in her manner during the last few days, and this morning, threatened to murder Mr Fenton with an axe. She subsequently went up stairs and jumped out of the window and got fixed in a narrow space between the closet and the house. The police were at once sent for, and the girl was extricated from her perilous position and taken to the police station. She has since been examined by Drs. Goldsbro' and Ellis, who consider the girl to be alTlcted with hysterical mania, requiring care and medical attendance. The bench, (Mr. Home and Mr. Cosgrave) ordered her to the Whau Asylum. The medical gentleman expressed regret that there was not some more suitable place of safety where persons of this character eouid receive due attention, and where in such circumstances they might speedly recover from their mental maladies,

PITT-STREET WESLEYAN ASSOCIA TION.

Thb second raocttng of the present fcewion o? the above Society was held last evening, The night was devoted to leadings and recitations froni miscellaneous authors. There Was & large number of members and many visitors, include

a fmember chosen from tho meeting, in the absence of the president. The first reading was from Mr Stephenson, entitled "Within your means." The piece was well read, excepting a little huskiness of the throat, which marred slightly. The piece itself was full of excellent mottoes for young men; what they were to avoid. Mr Birch gave a very nice reading. This gentleman will improve as he goes on. Mr E. .1. White gave that fine piece, reciting it, "Cato's soliloquy on the soul," by Addison. It was well spoken, but failed a little through a want of perception of some of the beautiful lines, where stress and fine modulation of the voice should have apppeared: a few pointed gestures should have been used, which would have given a finish to the whole piece.
