PARLIAMENTARY.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, this day. rr.Tr GOVERNOR'S PRIVILEGE "case. It i - believed the Privilege:; Committee will report recommending an alternative resolution mildly expressing disapproval at tlie action of tiie Governor. Considerable discussion is anticipated in the House on the Committee's report. It is rumoured that a passage in the Governor's memorandum was inserted by a j private Secretary without careful revision j by His Excellency, who is much annoyed | at the blunder which he thus committed as j Queen's representative. A strong feeling prevails here against the bias of the Gov ernor. ■ DR. WALLIS. Dr Wallis will probably leave on Wed- f nesday if a pair can bo got. He is still a Separatiouist, but believe.-' the present junc ture not adapted for pressing the Separation policy. THE REFUSAL OP GOVERNMENT HOUSE. It is rumoured in the lobbies that the Governor refused to grant Government House "-rounds and ball-room for the Indian Famine°fetc, and threatened to remove the furniture out of Government House, if the recommendation were persisted in. This is mere rumour, but appears to be well founded.

BROTHER WILLIAM

Brother William is said to be the author of several articles in the "Times," discovering State secrets, and reflecting in a dastardly style on Sir George Grey's veracity, which in public estimation here is above such attacks.

"INGOMAR" AT THE THEATRE.

This claesioal drama w-as represented on Satur day evening at tlie Theatre Royal with much success, and met with a very cordial reception. It is always a venture, especially in this city, to introduce a play too closely associated with art or refinement of thought; still, the picture of the Greek maiden Parenthia, aa represented by Miss Mary Loduski Young, was favourably re ceived. This lady's impersonation of the heroine was unique and graceful. Mr Belton represented *' iDgomar," the barbarian of the piece, with studied ease and care. Mr Leopold as Polydor, Mr Searle a3 Wyron, and the other less promi nent characters, were all sustained with estim able fairness and precision. The orchestra per formed a number of popular airs from such composers a3 Mozart, Gung'l,and D'Albert., and two original pieces by MrD. Cope, the leader of the orchestra. This evening will be presented Shakespeare's "Romeoand Juliet," Miss Young representing Juliet, and Mr C. Wheatleigh the character of Mercutio. Th's performance has always the effect of drawing a large house from the time of its first representation at the Globe Theatre in the days of the bard himself. Per sons then thought that " Romeo and Juliet was a very foolish thing, Dut upon maturer consider ation they came to the conclusion that the play was like many young persons, and that there was some philosophy in it; consequently Shake speare was not a fool. We anticipate a success ful issue this evening at tho theatre, with two sach stars iv the lead as Miss Young and Mr Wheatleigh.

REPRESENTATIVE VOLUNTEER CENTERS.

The International shooting contest between the representative men of New Zealand, England, Ireland, and Scotland, cp.me off ou Saturday afteonaon, at the Mount Eden range. The whole of tho four classes was under the superintendence of Captain Derrom, while the separate teams were under the immediate command of Captains Morrow, Mowbray, White, and Lieut. Skinner. The men were distinguished by badges on their arms: the English by St. George's Cross ; the Irish by the harp; the Scottish by the Thistle; and the Colonials by the Southern Cross and fern leaves. The day was tolerably line for the shooting, and much interest was felt in the proceedings by a number of visitors who had assembled on the breezy range. The Colonials were the favourites at the start; English expected to score score second. It was stated that the Scottish did not consider themselves in posses sion of a team good enough for the competition, but entered the lists merely to make upjtlie event. The English fired steadily aud well at 209. 400, and 500 yds, having at this stage of the firing a lead of 11 points over the Colonials. It was therefore considered their victory, as they were esteemed superior at GOOyds. At the last range the Englishmen made woeful shooting, and it was soon apparent that they were out, of the contest, the Colonial, making excellent shots. Ro3e scored two bull's eyes ia his first in tkree shots; Dorc did the same; Whlieand Partington each scored 10 win. three rounds. The -cottish fired their best at this range. Brabazon (Hobson) .cored 3 b-ili's eyes, as also did Bruce, but they were known to be too far behind. The Irish, however, bid fair to collar the English, Bell firing splendidly. Their total was brongh within 10 points of tho English team. The declaration of the score was re ceived with cheers. Captain White, of the Colonials, called for three cheers for their opponents. The English manifest a willingness for a second contest, and it is stated that the Tham.s Scottish have already got up their comrades in arms being beaten, and will challenge the young Colonials. If this is correct communication between" Auckland and the Thamrs mnst have been rapid. ' Subjoined. i 3 the score:—Colonial: Rose.

ST. MATTHEW'S SUNDAY-SCHOOL CHOIR ENTERTAINMENT.

The Lome-street Hall was comfortably filled on Friday evening, by a respectable audience, on the occasion of the musical and literary enter tainment by members of Mr Webb's Sunday school choir. Rev. R. S. Hassard occupied the position of chairman, and in a brief speech in troduced the performers, stating the object of the concert, namely, to aid the funds for the new harmonium. The singing of tho young people was generally good, and the pieces and choruses rendered by the choir shewed the good effects of careful study and regular practice. Mr Webb conducted, and much credit is due to him for the efficiency of his choir. The proceedings were opened by the Orpheus String Band, and, considering that this was their first appearance, their musical debut was very creditable. The choruses by the choir included " Come, old comrades," "Men of Harlech," "Hark, the distant bells," "Come where my love lies dreaming," and "Home again." Master Swales, quite a lad, presided at the pianoforte. The songs of the evening were "NilDesperaudum,"by Mr Nairn; "A sweet face at the window," by Miss Normanby ; -'Let the Angels in," by Waddel; "On the distant prairie,' by Misses Chappell, Normanby, and Wright; "The unfortunate wife" (comic), by Miss Lretitia Campbell; "Brightly smile and sweetly sing," by two sisters, Misses Waddell; " The Norseman," by Mr Massey (not the poet); " Spring-time of the year," by a lady; " Sing not of tho past," Mr Spry; duet by Misses Normanby. very sweetly sung, and encored; 'Little Footsteps," by Mr Saunders, but voice not suitable, lacking tenderness of {expression. "Old Man's Darling" (comic), written by Martin Hannkiii, and given in character by Mr Nairr. Mr C. Haunkiu gave a stump speech on Adam's " rheorv education fo'-' the race." Rev. R. S. Hassard read a fairy tale, entitled "Old Mother Goose," which was highly appreciated; Miss Seuffert recited the "Lost Child" (not Hoods), a sentimental poem. Mr Arthur Cleave gave a satirical parody on "Out John," shewing the importance of the Debtor-; and'CreditorsActto persons who live beyond their means. The parody was written "by Mr Blackmail, and faithfully rendered by Mr Cleave. Tho enter tainment, which was of a very pleasing character, closed wich the National Anthem.

A NEW ZEALAND DIVINE ON EARLY CLOSING.

Tiir. London " Public Opinion" quotes the following admirable remarks : — f The Rev. It. L. Stanford preached at All Saints' Church, Dunedin, on the subject of 'A Wrong-doing in Our Midst.' Tlie evil denounced is one that may be taken to heart by the managers of more than one establishment in Auckland : ' I want to speak more especially about a wrong-doing in our midst which does, I fancy, escape attention, but which is producing evils of wln'cii we shall sooner or later have to bear the consequences. I refer to the wretched habit of keeping banka especially, but also

some commercial houses, open half the night. Open, that is, so far as the clerks are concerned. In the first place, the forcing young men to etay till nine or ten o'clock at least to work, night after night, is a de frauding of a neighbour, for there is an un written law here declaring that a certain wage is given for a certain time of labour. 1 don't think I exaggerate when I say that it is becoming the settled habit of the banks to keep the men in their employment at work till ten or eleven, night afternight, by asortpf irresietiblemoralpresstire, which it is utterly impossible for them to resist. This miserable policy arises from two causes. One great cause of it is simply bad manage ment. The other, mere greediness. I understand that these young men are often by no means too busily employed all day. In some of those institutions which are the worst offenders, and where this is the case, the evil is one solely of bad management. In those cases where work goes on all day and half tbe night, it is simply a question of greediness. The place ia short-handed, in the desire to give larger dividends, and every shareholder is concerned in the .sin. I am well aware of the difficulty of dealing with a subject like this. It seems when we inquire into it to be just nobody's fault. It is one of those matters that ought to be banned by public opinion ; and it can, I think, be cured in nG other way. I should like to point out to you—some of whom may have brothers, or husbands, or sons, suffering under the enormous evil—the con sequences that are almost certain to follow from this wrong-doing. It is simply impos sible to hope that a young man, often a nere lad, entering one of these places, can £0 on leading a healthy, God-fearing, ronest life, with nothing to be ishamed of, and nothing to conceal, such as I love ,to ihink of as the ideal of a young man's life. God has implanted instincts of happiness and animal spirits in your son, which will, find an outlet, healthy or unhealthy, as the case nay be. To turn him out of his office at .en or eleven o'clock at night, after a whole lay spent more or less in the vitiated atmosphere, is to deprive him of all means of healthy recreation, and as an inevitable consequence to drive him at last to un healthy amusement. Don't suppose this a far-fetched prediction. I have seen this happen with my own eyes again and again in this country. You, the managers or shareholders in banks, you who have some influence more or less, and who are shut ting your eyes and holding your tongues about this monstrous crime, are responsible before God for the ruin, moral and physical, of many a young man who might have lived to be a useful member of society. I .race swiftly his career. No chance is rjiven the lad for cricket or boating, md so on. Every chance is given him ior gambling aud drinking at mid night. Gambling leads to debt, and debt leads to thieving. I say that we have ill known young promising lads run .he gamut Of disgrace, and lose their life's shances through nothing else but this miserable crime of keeping them at work all the evening. Do you ask how you can interfere ? Oh, you can find plenty of ways if you really desire to bring about any moral reform. You can cut out these ulcers if yon choose. Would to God it were only as msy to remedy the ill effiects they have ieft behind them. By your silence you are giving consent and approval, and helping .be immediate manager to defraud his servant and rob him. Rob him of health, happiness, honour and honesty. I speak strongly of this social fraud, because I think it wants attention attracted to it, antii it becomes well understood that an office that requires to be constantly open at tiight is thoroughly badly managed. I have nothing, of course, to say about occa sional ' pressure on mail nights. There is a great deal, of nonsense, remem ber, about all this pretence of hard work, constantly requiring night work, that wants exposing. I repeat it, and challenge contradiction ; in every case where late hours have become the habit, it is either owing to miserly management or bad management. Once more, and in con nection with this subject, I remind you of the social sin of late shopping on Saturdays, by which you defraud your neighbour, and 10b him of his holiday. The free-thinking part of the community are, I fear, strong enough to keep the shops open in their sel fish indifference to their neighbours' wrongs. I am sure that no servant of Christ, when once his or her attention is attracted to the question, will go on repeating the sin. The wrong done to the shopmen of this town is of the same nature as that wrong done to the bank clerks ; it is greater in the num bers of the sufferers, it is less as regards the effects, because it is only on one night, not every night, that it is perpetrated. The offenders will have to answer for their sin one day, when it will seem a very poor excuse to say that you never meant any harm, that you never thought of what you' were doing, or you never remembered what the consequences might be. You cannot escape the respon sibilities under which you lie with regard to your brethren " '
