Mr Heale's Motion.—Mr Heale intro duced the subject of his motion at the last meeting, and said he was scarcely prepared to report upon the matter. The question was occupying a good deal of at tention just now, especially in the South. Colonel Haultain would like to hear a little about the report of the Commission at Dune din.—Mr Heale was not prepared to givejex tracts, but the matter was premature, al though it would of necessity have to be con sidered.—The Mayer hoped Mr Heale would defer his motion. —Colonel Haultain said a charge had been made against the late Governors, which implied a breach of trust, he was ready to show that they had done their duty literally and faithfully. —Mr Heale agreed to postpone his motion until the next meeting.

FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER

(JBY STAR SPECIAL WIRE),

WELLINGTON, this day.

The opinion that if the Government made a Ministerial question of the Companies Income Tax and Beer Duties Bill they would carry them is gaining ground.

THE NEWTUN BOROUGH PETITION. The officers to whom was remitted the consideration of the counter petitions from Newton respecting the formation of the dis trict into a borough, has reported that the majority of the signatures were against the proposed borough, therefore the Govern ment decline to incornorate the district. REPAIRS TO WHAU BRIDGE. Amongst other matters urged by Mr Tole on the Minister of Public Works, for im mediate attention, h_s been the _ Whau bridge. In answer to his communication, Mr Tole has received the following reply : —Public Works Office, Wellington, 23rd September, 1878.—Sir, lam directed by the flon. Minister of Public Works to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 23rd inst., and in reply inform you that the engineer in charge has given directions to have the Whau bridge repaired at once. PLATFORM AT ELLERSLIE. Delays which have from time to time occurred in connection with this platform for the Agricultural Association and others have at last ceased. Mr Tole received a letter from the Public Works Department, and instructions have been sent to the Dis trict Engineer to cause this work to be at once done. NEWTON BOROUGH. A letter from the Colonial Secretary's office to Mr Tole says :—" A dverting to your letter of the 31st July, I have the honour to inform you that Messrs Bavstow and Tole, commissioners appointed to inquire into the petition for aud against the incorporation of the suburb of Newton, under the Munici pal Corporations Act, 1876, have sent us their report, and Government cannot in the face of the facts stated therein proceed further in bringing about the incorporation of the district.—Signed, J. S. Whitmore." MANGERE BRIDGE. -HAMILTON HALL. Mr Hobbs gave notice to ask the Minister of Public Works on Thursday by what authority has the cost of repairs to Man gere bridge been deducted from the sub sidies of Manukau and Eden. The Hamilton Public Hall Site Bill, in troduced by Mr McMiim, proposes to set aside as a site for a Volunteer Hall a piece of land behind St. Peters' Church, at Hamil ton. JOINT STOCK TAX. It is generally rumoured in the lobbies that the Government have definitely decided not to proceed with the Companies Income Tax Bill, and it is doubtful of a majority on the Beer Duty Bill, The Opposition show a strong disposition to get ever the busmess of the present session, and go home. An easy way, therefore, is bridged for the Go vernment to sacrifice many measures which cannot possibly pass this session. Political prophetß think the Government, at the end of three weeks or a month, at least, may come down to the House with a statement to the effect that a large majority of mem bers on both sides of the House are anxious to return home ; and, anxious as the Go vernment is to proceed with many important measures, which pressure of other business has delayed, they desire to yield to the wishes of the House, and will,, therefore, prorogue on a day to be named. borne think a lew important measures will be kept under sentence in the meantime, and then will be suddenly executed at a few days' notice. y THE BEER-BILL. The Government whips have been anxiously feeling the pulse of their sup porters yesterday and to-day on the Beer Bill, and the Opposition say there is a clear majority against the Government on this measure, butif the Ministry make it a Go vernment question many wavering votes will be retained on the Government side, and the Bill will,be carried by a small majority. The Opposition still remains completely disorganised, and with no unity of purpose and aims. __,v„ ■ P LAN r>S. The Native Lands Bill, which is to con stitute a court appointed to sit continuously until the land claims are disposed of, and which has been drafted by Mr Whitaker, has been taken up by the Attorney- General.-who gave notice of it to-day. LEGISLATORS. ■ ■ ■ On the calling of the Council yesterday the following Councillors were absent: Hon.' Messrs Acland, P. A. Buckley, Nurse, Johnson, G. R. Robinson, Russell, Richardson, Williamson. Messrs Buckley, Russell, and Richardson are ill; Mr Nurse is not in attendance, though in Wellington; Mr Robinson left for the South yesterday. OFFICERS DISMISSED AND APPOINTED. The return of names of officers whose services have teen dispensed with and appointments made-_ since; the .fast of December, 1877, has been laid on the table to the order of Mr Sutton, and shows the totalamountofsalariespayabletonewofficers appointed since the date mentioned to be £41,393 7S 6d; salaries saved b^ofLcers discharged since same date, £20 866 the first amount includes about £5,950 on Suntof appointments to tne railway and education offices. Retiring allowances a?e not set out in full, but the amount is between eight and ten thousand. New officers include in some cases transfers which have been returned in other lists, but others are not. On the whole for the Civil Service this year, the cost is £10,000 more than last year- VOLUNTEER PASSES. In the House to-day Mr Bastings pre -1 sented a petition in favour of granting free passes on railways when proceeding to and from duty. •■' ~ „ Mr Barff gave notice to ask the Govern ment whether they will pay railway fares in the colony, of Volunteers and hie brigade on the occasion of the annual demonstra tions.

Three weeks' extension of time was granted to the Gaols Committee to bring up their report. Mr Taiaroa gave notice of motion in favour of placing £500 on the estimates for the translation of Alex. Mackay's works on the Middle Island Native Affairs. He also gave notice of a bill to amend the Maori representation powers of "select in price extended so as enable it to call for persons of papers relative to the powers, oav. and position of the police; BREACH OF PRIVILEGE. : Mr Fox gave notice that he will on Thunday call attention to a paragraph in the " Evening Post" reflecting on the ,iu hnminity of members of the House. The paragraph in /question referred to the moral Ld Physical ib jury-done to, boys employed inßdlamv's un to the rising of the House. PUBLIC WORKS FOR NELSON. Mr Saunders gave notice to move .on Wecnesday next,'that in the opinion of this Hon*, no system of public works can be satisfactory .or of colonial character that

purposes to exclude large tax-paying areas from its benefits ; and public justice demands that districts which do not pre sent any physical features and debar the construction" of a railway which would enhance the value of the land and take off traffic from roads,should either be exempted from contributions for public works, or should be assisted from the colonial revenue in the construction of their roads, bridges,, and wharves. MINES ACT. The committee to whom the Mines Amendment Act was referred, recom mended that it should not pass this session, 1 but should have the carefi.il consideration of the Government during.' the recess. The provisions of the bill could be immediately carried out without causing temporary era barrasment.. HARBOUR BILL. Mr Curtis asked whether th Government intended proceeding with the Harbour Bill this session, as an impression had got abroad that the Government intend to drop it. . The Treasurer replied that pressure of business had prevented the Government, but they hope they will be able to proceed with the BiU. Mr Bryce brought up a report of the Native Affairs Committee on the petition of John Topi Pataki, which set out that cer tain lands in the Middle Island were sold by natives possessing no title. The Committee reported that the question was a complex one, therefore it could not be dealt with by Parliamentary committee. It recommended that the matter should receive the attention of the Government.

Mr Sutton, speaking on the question of translating "Hansard" into Maori for cir culation among natives, said only such portions of speeches as suited the policy of the Government werepublished in the paper con . ducted by the Native Minister. LMr Sheehan : " No."] Mr Sutton : Well then it is conducted by a very intimate friend of his. (Great laughter.) Even of speeches only select portions were given. Ever and anon during very uneventful afternoons, the countenances of hon. members are turned upwards towards large plate glass skylights overhead, from which it will be remembered a large sheet of glass descended last year which would have annhilated Mr Barff but for the merciful dispensation of providence, the said dispensation being the absence of Mr Barff himself, and all the rest of the Solons from the House. The cause of members looking upwards is the howling wintry blast sweeping over the roof with a roar like a thousand Vulcan's forges in full blast. The building sometimes rocks and vibrates in a way which is perfectly alarm-

ing. The monotony of the afternoon was also somewhat relieved by a discussion on the Incorporation of Campbelltown Bill, intro duced by Mr Woods. Mr Stout said the proposed municipality had only a population ot fifty, and Mr Woods unfortunately resarded it as the Liverpool of New Zealand. Mr Joyce, without committing himself to precise figures, had a conviction that the place possessed a population of three hundred., But Mr Howe was equally certain there are only twenty-six males, including children, which caused Mr Wood in ;his reply to enlarge on the horticultural beauties and adornments of Campbe]ltown,-and to issue ; a.general invitation to all and sundry to '' come down to the Southern extremity of New : Zealand, and see for themselves. When the bill was read a second time on the : voices, Mr Wood wanted to go into com mittee at once, but his hopes were dashed by the inexorable decree of the Speaker,and the committal was ordered for this day week. READJUSTMENT OF REPRESENTA- : TION. : On the question that the House con- j siders it desirable that the Government should, during this session, bring down a ■ bill for the readjustment of representation, , or if such a bill cannot be got ready during . the pwjeent session, the Government be re quested to prepare one during the recess, Sir Robert Douglas suggested that the \ Government should bring down a series of resolutions, embodying the policy which . they approve on the question of represen tation, with the object of giving con- : stituents some basis for consideration during \ the recess. EVENING SITTING. All the evening was occupied with the debate on the motion to extend the tele graph to Collingwood. The Government : and their most earnest supporters are evidently endeavouring to compel a more clear line of demarcation between the par- ; ties by treating minor questions as party ones, in order to knit their supporters more . firmly, and pave the way for a firm stand in the Government financial bills by testing its adherence to their party. Many members who fear dissolution will vote with the ; Government on any question ; others wish te give the Government policy a fair trial; while some others fear neing called" to laccount by their constituents. Many of the Northern members, who were supporters of the late Ministry, are deterred from active opposition by a desire to give the native policy a fair trial, regarding the pacification of the natives as paramount. INCH-CLUTHA BILL. In committee on the Inch-Clutha Island Bill, which creates new Ridings, Mr Whitaker referred to the necessity of some general principle in dealing with these bills. Exceptional bills of this character were very objectionable, and led to a bad example to other parts of the colony. It was necessary that the general legislation should be altered for such cases, but hepro tested against such bills except in special circumstances. Mr Murray explained that residents in the present 'district desired to be sepa- The bill was reported with amendment, and the consideration of the report was made an order of the day for Wednesday ONEHUNGA GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Mr O'Rorke moved the second reading ef the Onehunga Grammar School Bill. He referred to the endowments given to the Grammar Schools of Southland, Waimate, Timaru, Riverton, and New Plymouth. These received various sums, ranging up to .'.. a thousand pounds. In thi. bill he did not ask the Government for any money. The Auck land College and Grammar School funds Would not allow their being asked to contribute anything. He regretted _to say they were in a deplorable position, and unfortunately there was no hope for anything being done out of their own funds. ■■ The revenue and expenditure were exactly on a par. The Bill would not trench on the Common School Funds because one-fourth of the Common School Reserves had been trans-, ferred to higher education. It would be deplorable if outof £212,000 voted for educa tion, something could not be done beyond dead level Common School education. He hoped the House would not debar pupils anxious for high-class education by refusing to establish a Grammar School in every large centre of population. Lnvercargill, Port Chalmers, and Tokomamrcr hadgot . Grammar Schools. InS the district of Auckland, there was no hope of anything beyond Common Schools education, except by establishing Grammar Schools. The benefits derived from the Um versity was infinitesimal. It was ex pected that the rent from the proposed endowments in the first schedule of the Bill would be £115 a year. The site in the second schedule, set aside for a cemetery, would yield a greater .income if laid out m suitable.sites. The third schedule com prised education endowments in the town of Onehunga.. The very utmost to be ex-, pected would: be £200 a year;.;<alsoj.f orty. pupils; altogether £600 a*year;7 Pupils were going from Onehunga. to Auckland Grammar School, away.; from home, eight to six miles, which was injurious. Private schools in Onehunga. were .not sufficient As the House passed-other Bills, he hoped ,it would not oppose this. - ._', ! . A l_li: i The Attorney-General said he would not . oppose the bill, but. wished to; set Mr ' I O'Rojke right. The Otago Reserves were

not sei aside for common education,'but for primary and secondary combined. In 1871 a quarter of the endowments were allotted for higher education. In land purchases in the North the Government had now allo cated a certain proportion for educational purposes. The reserves in the bill were not numerous. He presumed Auckland mem bers had no objection. The more high schools the better. The present educational system would never be complete without further provision for secondary education. That was the defect of the * present Act. The time was coming when the whole ques tion of secondary education would have to be dealt with in a comprehensive manner, $ Mr Swanson complained that Auckland members had not been consulted. If the bill went into committee he would propose that the title be amended to ''an Act for the endowment of a Grammar School m the district of Newton." This place has a far more numerous population than OnehuDga. They should go in for the greatest good to the greatefi* number. Onehunga was one of the smallest constituencies in the colony; Newton one of the largest. The Borough of Onehunga would be saddled with various encumbrances &£or the proposed school. He would undertake to provide them out of his own pocket if the title of this biU. was changed to Newton. This is most extraordinary dealing with with the public estate. Why should Onehunga have land set apart for itself which has been reserved for special purposes 1 Thib was not the first attempt made to get these endowments for Onehunga. It had beeu attempted for a great many purposes in a great many ways. This was a mere attempt to please con stituents. He was sorry Mr O'Roike should have to do that. Onehunga was only entitled to a share of these endow ments. Auckland members should have been called together. If Onehunga had the exclusive use of these endowments for twelve or fifteen years that gave them no title, but they should rather pay something. He would do all he possibly could to get the endowments for his constituents. They were in the muddle of the County of Eden. Panmure was as much entitled as Unehunga. Mr Hamlin would support it. A great majority of people in his district were debarred by distance from sending their children to the Auckland Grammar School. Mr Whitaker said this was one of those Bills which propose to transfer the property of one public body to another. To destroy one trust and set up another was improper. The endowment was not in the boundaries of Onehunga. The Education Board has not been consulted. It was a dangerous precedent. The Board should be heard in reply. They were going to deprive the Board of one of its most valuable endow ments and give it to a.small village winch had no more claim than a dozen other places in the county of Eden. He moved that the Bill be read that day six months. Mr Moss said Mr O'Rorke should consult the Auckland members. The Education Board had really no interest in these reserves, which were the property of the colony. The attempt to establish a District High School in Auckland failed. Two schools under the same roof would not work. The Onehunga Grammar School would be a great advantage, and Auckland members should assist. He would propose an amendment to constitute the Board elected by the electors of the district, and directly responsible to them. Indirect elections lead to great abuses. ' Mr Montgomery questioned whether this would not effect other bodies. Mr Wood hoped the Auckland members would agree with what Mr Dignan said. Newton was really nearer than many other parts of the city of Auckland. It was an attempt to deprive Onehunga of a Grammar School. , , . Mr Tole said if this bill affected anybody it would be himself. 150 acres would flit away. He urEted tke second reading, and a meeting of Auckland membeia. Mr O'Rorke agreted to *c __.eting of Auckland members after the second read ing. If he had not consulted Mr Swanson, the latter had consulted him, and wanted the endowment for Newton. There was nothing in the standing orders requinng that he should consult Auckland members. The Act provided that the instruments mentioned in the bill should be provided by the borough. The bill was read a second time on the voices. Mr Whitaker moved that the bill be referred to the Waste Lands Committee. Mr O'Rorke said the bill could not be expected to pass the double ordeal of Auck land members and the Waste Lands.

Mr Swanson said primary education, was of more importance than higher. It should bean elected Board and the school common to all. It should not be controlled by Mr O'Rorke and the Magistrate for One hunga. _~ ' The committal was ordered for Wednes day next. HARBOUR WO» KS. ,;

When the House resumed at eleven o'clock Mr De Latour moved the adjourn ment debate of the on the question that all harbour works in the colony should be dealt with on a geaeral plan, and that no money, vote, or endowment be given until approval by a competent engineer is obtained, be further adjonrned for a fort night. Agreed to on the voices. j On the Wellington Hospital Sale Bill, Mr Swanson pointed out that the rents would in two years exceed the present value of the fee simple, and wanted further in formation ; but Mr Bunny said an arrange ment was pending between the hospital trustee and the Government, which might render the bill unnecessary. The bill was read a second time. VARIOUS BILLS.

'The Bank Holidays Amendment Bill was read a second time, and ordered for com mittal on Wednesday. The Otago and Southland Reserves Leasing Bill was ordered for to-day. The Oamaru Athenjcum, Bluff Harbour Endowment, Patea Harbour, and Patomohe Site Bills were passed. The Oamaru Harbour Board Bill was postponed till Wednesday. The House adjourned at 12.45.

PECULIAR LICENSING CASE. Yesterday two persons, named respectively Baker and Beasley, were charged with having sold liquor without being duly licensed. On the 14th of August, Mr Lewis, hotel keeper, Te Awamutu, applied to Major Mair, the chairman of the Licensing Com missioners, for a permit to sell drink at the Hunt meeting. Subsequently Lewis sold the permit to Baker, who, .assisted by Beasley,.proceeded to dispense the liquor, of which they had 15 gallons of beer, 6 bottles each of whisky and brandy, and 2 of rum. The police laid an information, and the case has now. been heard, before Major Mair, Sergeant McGovern, from Hamilton,! con ducting the same. A fine of 40s and costs was, inflicted. ,

MASONIC NOMINATION. Some time ago tbe District Grand Lodge

of Freemasons of the North Island nomi nated Bro. W. S.; jftpo-bxrase. as -District Grand Master of the English Constitution vice the late Bro. Sir D. McLean), and sent home the nomination to the Grand Lodge of England. A report is now in circulation that Mr Moorhousehas been discovered ineligible for election, in consequence of certain for malities not having been complied with, and that another nomination will have to be made. It is not known whether an arrange ment will be made to render Mr Moorhouse eligible, and re-nominate him, or whether a new nomination will be made. The latter is thought more probable.

WELLINGTON, this day. SAILORS' HOME.

The Corporation of Wellington have de cided to provide a site upon which to erect a Sailors' Home. The Government will contribute £500 towards its erection. DUNEDIN, Wednesday. RAILWAY ACCIDENT. The 6.10 a.m. train to-day, from Palmer ston, on arrival in the neighbourhood of Rowley Bridge, near the Coal Point, and on going round a curve and down a heavy grade there, ran into an engine and truck on their way to Palmerston, conveying Oamaru stone. The truck had got off the line, and it is stated that warning was given to the approaching train from Pal merston. Jenkins, fireman of the latter train, jumped off, and was not much hurt, though he felt internal pains. White, the engine-driver of the same train,, sustained a simple fracture four or five inches below the knee. He was attended by^Dr. Brown, of Palmerston, and was afterwards conveyed to the Oamaru Hospital. It appears that the goods train from Oamaru was late, and that, one of the waggons breaking down, caused further detention. The station-master at Palmerston, without awaiting _ke arrival of this train, started the passenger train for Oamaru at the usual hour, thinking the goods train would run into one of the sidings, and the accident happened five minutes after. The passenger train did not arrive till 3 p.m , in consequence of the acci» dent. The damage to the engines is not so great as at first expected. The breaking of the buffers of one of the engines, and damag ing of the buffers of two waggons were the only injuries sustained by the plant.

The Auckland Skating Club terminated its linking season last evening by a pleasant reunion, which was attended by about 400 ladies and gentlemen, amongst whom were several officers of H.M.S. Nymphe. At the conclusion of the skating, JEr Shera moved votes of thanks to Mrs Wkitaker, the Pre sident, and Mr McKeck^J*-, the Secretary of the Club, who had rendered it many services. The vote was carried with acclamation, and it was announced that the CJub had closed until next season. After the fire has drawn up, Coke may be added in small lumps (not in large masses), either alone or mixed with Coal A fire made in this way is better for not being stirred, so long as ;there is space between the fragments of fuel for a free current of air. The value of Coke as a fuel and as a means of economy of Coal is hardly appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of Coal and Coke is invaluable forthe ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking, as it absorbs the smoke or in flammable gases given off by Coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter, than it can be made by any other means.—[Advt.} :
