Canterbury should • t if Land Fund Avere colouialised, on land law and a uniform price k 'rtpl-ud throughout the colony. The forJ policy of the present Government !£ preferable to the paltry pilfer * nolicy of the Atkinson Ministry, ?* t he would not pledge himself to it till r\L w the details. He urged the direct Son of property as the only means of l'v-ecnrin"' a sound economical finance. 2H«s that even this session a tax—say ttennyinthe£ like the Wellington °\Sn rate-should be imposted. He i Jsone confidence in the present, but „1 in the late Ministry. He thought the Jlosed loan rather too large. ittOrmoa&'s Reckless Charges. %r Ormond considered a uniform price f _Snd utterly impossible. He declared L so-called Provincial liabilities, a the supplementary estimates tad by the present Government were only schedules proposed o be con idered by the late Ministry. He Avould Strongly oppose most of the former being Seabn, and the public money wasted on L__, They were chiefly bogus estimates from'oiago. He would also oppose a four million loan as unnecessary, and only to be obtained at a ruinous sacrifice. He con demned Sir George Grey's "reference iv his ___..-speech after taking office to the £170,003 claims as outstanding by the con tractors, and which Sir George Grey said would probably be found to be due, mo _t of these were an attempt on Brora's part to take advantage of contracrs, and to make the colony pay for works never done. These J_2jias were simply monstrous, and it aa^us a significant-fact that Brogden's firm "were strenuous supporters of the present Minis try and mainly instrumental in putting them on the Treasury benches. SIR GEORGE {GREY DENIES THEM.

Sir George Grey said they Avere utterly false. 1 Mr Ormond repeated the statement. Sir George Grey said he would ask for a Committee to investigate the charge, and "moved that theAvords be taken doAvn. ORMOND'S LIE NAILED, The "Hansard" reporter's notes Avere sent for, and the words taken down. After some altercation, Mr Ormond ad mitted the Avoids used, and contended that he was justified in using them. He then withdrew.

M> Stout then moved that the Avords were derogatory to the Privileges oi the House as" implying a charge that members votes were influenced by con tractors, and that Mr Ormond be required to apoloeise. ORMOND'S FRIENDS ATTEMPT TO BRAZEN IT OUT. Nearly tAvo hours of very angry and rather disgraceful discussion ensued. The Speaker several times appealed to the House to preserve order, and at last-to let the affair drop. Sir George Grey denied having had any conversation Avith the Brogdens about iicav claims, and said he thought the firm hostile to him from Captain Holt's former connec tion with it. Several resolutions and amendments were proposed. _Cr-OxmozL& Compelled to Apologise. Ultimately, all were withdrawn in favour of one by Mr Stafford, expressing regret that Mr Ormond should have used such words, and asking him to withdraw them. On re-entering the House, Mr Ormond made an apology for having used such words, and continued his speech. He •strongly supported the generalising of the Land Fund, now that that could be done without endangeriug the unity of the colony. He Avould support the present Ministry in taking the Lana Fund, and then do his best to put in another Ministry to administer it. IN COMMITTEE ON ESTIMATES. The motion for going into Committee of Supply was then agreed to. The |vote for the legislative debts was passed, and progress reported. The House rose at 1.30.

NEWTON KIRK SOIREE.

THE6oiree to welcome back the Rev. Dr Wallis from Wellington took place last evening in tho -Newton Kirk, East-street, when the church was croAVded to the doors with members of all denominations. Solarge was the audience that aiewminutes after the commencement it was to find a seat, and forms were placed down the aisle to accomodate those persons standing. An excellent tea was provided for the occasion, the trays being presided over by the following ladies:—Mesdames Wallis, Morris, want, Suitor, Stokes, Campbell, Trimble, Grubb, Sims. Sinton, Smith, Black, George, aeron, and Mi3ses Maxwell, Robertson (2), Sims, Roger. (2), Haslett, Martin (2), and Hudson. A fraj- was also provided by the bachelor's of the congregation. It was not until after eight oclock that the tables Avere cleared away, and we public meeting commenced. Mr Henry radon took the chair, and called on the Rev. William Evans to open the proceedings with Prayer. A large choir, consisting of between 25 Md3oladie3 and gentlemen, under Mr Skinner, «en sang the anthem " Arise, Shine!" which was Beautifully rendered. The Chairman said it gwe him pleasure to see such a large meeting gambled to do honour to Dr Wallis. He could that it was a union cf Christian people, members of Christian churches.

He Avas glad to say, however, that "»e congregation attending the Newton Kirk JJS at last consented to the " innovations " referred to. He believed this to be the thin «aaof the wedge, and hoped that the time Avas aosgar distant when he would see Dr Wallis "jjapg -lis seat -with the other Presbyterian roisters k the Presbytery.

He said that, after IJ^'almost, uninterrupted service in his he had been granted a four months leave £ absenm As they already know, that four months Avas spent in Wellington, attending jawoanient, but despite the fact that he had SS ,a sreat deal of hard Avork, he returned S„ ed and decidedly stronger. Still he was aWmf the PresentjParliamentary session Avas Egg included. Some persons regarded his mm his charge, and going South to mix in iS 'i 3 not exactly in accordance with his nS ligations. They thought that clergy- S^oild not take any active part in political _r«™. and he admitted there was much truth >MB. He would be very sorry to see clergy a^cnerally leaving their congregations to to "i their time to the consideration of politics, h_L m one or two instances he could see .no tion „ and he Avas sure no solid objec inflno„ ou!d be offered against such. These "fences would have the effect of counter s'l^6^ deal of evil in the House. Trie reni_= 3 classes Avere all supposed to be resented in the House, and he did not see rem_«ou_' ,Wghest interests should not be lK ente J d as well as our lOAvest; but secu eSffia aud infidels generally endeavoured to anrT 6.- min isters of the Gospel from takiDg ItaJ, <JiY c part in relation to public affairs. iCL, tn? earhest period in the annals of ChL terlaniom it would be found that its took a great interest in political and n! -ft was the Covenanters in Scotland Sd___ ?uritans jn England to which we are Wli_?? forthe revolution of 1688, Avhom placed ''asm m on the throne of England, and

procured for us the advantages of civil and religious liberty which we now enjoy. It A\-aa just, possible that he had devoted too much time to public affairs, but ho would like to say that at the same time he had been working for the Christian interests. Dr Wallis spoke strongly against the action of the House in ex cluding the Bible from Public Schools. He had never believed in the introduction of hymns and instrumental music in Presbyterian Churches, but had always considered the Psalms of David the best hymns, and the throat of the Avorshipper the best organ for praising God. He Avould only Avarn the congregation against converting the worship of God into a mere musical concert. \\ ith reference to what Mr Macnicol had said as to his joining the Presbytery, he wondered Avhat that body would say to him leaving his duties for four months to go to Wellington, to take part in Parliamentary debates. He thanked those gentlemen Avho had officiated for him in his absence, especially mentioning the Revs. Lawry and Wallis, and Mr H. Barton. Dr. W aids sat doAvn amidst loud applause. Solo—" Incline Thine ear." Quartette—" God is a spirit," Rev. Wm. Evans then addressed the meeting. Ho cordially welcomed Dr. Wallis back, and felt gratified to see such a large meeting assem bled to meet him. Meetings of this kind were of great A-alue in promoting a spirit of brotherly love amongst the congregation. The rev. gen tleman related several amusing incidents in connection with his OAvn experience. Choir—Anthem, " Jesus, Lord of Life." Duec—- Lord of aU power and might." Bey. A. Carriok. the neAv pastor of St. Andrew's, was the next speaker. He did not agree with Dr. Wallis in regard to his opinion of ministers of the Go«pel taking an active part in politics. But if that gentlemen had a taste iOr politics he would in no way hinder him from his pursuits. He did not think the Church was the proper place for musical instruments, ex cepting where there was no vocal talent auongst the audience. Mr W. J. Suiter, in a brief but pleasant speech, proposed votes of thanks to the "Ladies," the ' Choir," and the "Speakers," which were carried with acclamation. Choir—Anthem, " Oh, Sion." The benediction Avas then pronounced by Dr. Wallis, and the meeting terminated.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The old, but not the less interesting play of tho "Stranger," Avas performed last evening at the Theatre Royal. The characters of the hero and Mrs Hader were admirably impersonated by Mr and Mrs Morton Tavares. The play through out was carefully represented. Miss Clara Henderson pictured the Countess, and Miss Nelly Daley sustained the character of Charlotte with average ability. Mr Belton appeared as the Baron Steinfort, Mr Verner as Count Winterton, Mr Starle as Solomon, Mr Leopold as Peter, Mr Melville a3 Francis, and Mr Alex ander as Tobias. The "Stranger" Avas ably introduced, and favourably received. After the "Stranger," the second act of "Faust and Marguerite" Avas performed in a highly satis factory manner. This evening Mr and Mrs Morton Tavares Avill take their benefit, on Avhich occasion Tobin's ever-pleasing drama of the "HONKYMOON," Avill form the chief attraction of the evening* Mr Tavares Avill appear as Duke Aranza, a"d Mrs TaA'ares as Juliana. The comedy is one of the mo3t popular of English comedies of the past, and was written in 1792, by a Wiltshire lawyer, John Tobin, born in 1770, in the city ot Salisbury. Ili3 other play Avas tho " CurfeAV, now forgotten. The after piece will be the famous screen scene from Sheridan's "School for Scandal." Mr Tavares as Charles Surface, and Mrs Tavares as Lady Teazle. la tho interval between the dramas, Professor Henni kie and Mdlle Stella will appear in their aerial suspension act. An other feature of interest Avill be the presentation of tho prizes to the winners in the four-oared BOAT RACE, by Mr Tavares. The bill of this evening is suf ficiently attractive to fill the house, and as the endeaA rour on the part of the management to produce nothing but high-class productions, which have stood the test of time, and Avhich still continue to Avin the approbation of the public of to-day, Aye trust that citizens will shew their appreciation of real merit by giving the company a cordial loception to-night. We notice further that Shakespeare's tragedy of Macbeth will be performed to-morrow evening, and that the performances of Monday night avill be given as a complimentary benefit to Mr DeLias, and will close the present season.

WESLEYAM DISTRICT MEETING.

At the afternoon session yesterday letters Avere read from Wangarei earnestly request ing that a minister might, as soon as pes sible, be sent to reside there. | The supply offiministers to meet the various demands is not likely to be very great, but it Avas decided to recommend that the conference should appoint a minister to Wangarei if in a position to do so. The Key. Hoam Waiti gave the meeting an interesting account of a visit which he had paid Hokianga, during the year. He repoited that jo-reat need existed for additional ministerial oversight, and it was resolved to recommend the appointment of a native assistant minister to labour in conjunction with the European missionary at Warn:a. At the commencement of this mornugs session the President read a letter from the Secretary of the Wesleyan Sunday-school Union, inviting all the ministers to a social fathering to held on Tuesday next. Ihe two candidates for the ministry—Messrs. Salter and Martin—were called before the meeting and underwent an oral examina tion in the various doctrines and religions ordinances that are accepted by the Wes'evauMethodist Church. Ihe result of two hours' questioning shewed that the voun" men had' well-studied the doctines of their°Cluirch; and were in a position to acquit themselves very creditably.

THE SALMON OVA.

Advices have been received in town to-day from the Punui River district (King Country), Avhere Mr Firth a feAv weeks ago located 40,000 Californian salmon ova. The neAVS is to the effect that tAvo days after Mr Firth's departure the ova began to hatch, and that in the enclosure the fish ate SAvarming in thousands. Scarcely one dead egg was discovered. The natives are greatly pleased with the success of the experiment so far, and keep a constant watch over the young fry to prevent the incursions of eels, and also to see that no damage is caused by the sudden rises in the river. News has' also been received from Sydney in reference to the consign ment of ova Avhich were sent on from here by the steamer City of Sydney to Mr A. S. Webster on behalf of Sir Samuel Wilson, of Melbourne. The ova were repacked here, and supplied with fresh ice. When they arrived in Sydney the ice was again renewed, and the ova were transferred to the A.S.N. Go's steamer, City of Adelaide. When last seen they were in splendid condition, and there is scarcely a doubt but they will arrive safely in Melbourne. By a telegram received last night from Canterbury it appears that out of 50,000 sent from here, about 45,000 have arrived in a healthy state.

A dish of very rich specimens from the NeAV Golden-Pah Mine were onvieAv to-day in the Colonial Bank. In appearance they very much resemble the stone from the LFnion Beach Mine, being of greyish blue quartz, and very heavy. Some of the samples are nearly half solid gold. At this season of the year, Avhen Nature is so profuse in her adornment, clothing herself in such lovely garments, it naturally inspires the good HouseAvife with the desire to make her dominion alike attractive.

Sixth Issue of this work, has much confidence in commending it as an INVALU ABLE ADVERTISING MEDIUM. The Book is widely circulated in all parts of NeAV Zealand and neighbouring Colonies; is placed in the leading English and Colonial Libraries; at the Chief Stations on the Pacific Railway, for the use of Travellers to and from the Colonies; and in other important positions, to secure publicity within and beyond New Zealand. We claim, however, for it the greatest value to 10-?al business men as a Permanent Work of Reference, Avhich finds it way into the home of nearly every settler in the ProAdnce, and is consulted almost daily throughout the year. It may be submitted Avith some degree of confi dence that the importance to. commercial men of being represen tedin a book of this kind can not be over-estimated. •<v_A further reason Avhich might be urged why such a work should receiA'e support from every one interested in the welfare of Auckland.^ is the practical benefit conferred upon the City and Province \>y the annual publication of a book setting forth, in an interesting form, the capabilities of this pare of the Colony ; its his tory, description of country settlements, roads and other means of access, cost of carriage, and the mass of other information, revised to latest date eA'ery year. The Book—Avhich is the Largest Publication ever offered for a Shilling in New Zealand—must depend almost AvhOily upon Advertisements to defray the heaA'y cost; and as e\-ery business man is in terested in its success, favourable attention to its claims is solicited with some degree of assurance that they wOl receive this year, as heretofore, a cordial recognition. mHE ALMANAC AND TTANDBOOK OF 1878 Will be far in adA ranee of any sf its predeces sors ; the whole of its contents new, written specially, and of a more than ordinary in structive character.
