• _»r right, or justice? Has abetter understanding between the nations been promoted? and h-s anything been done towards a future more peaceful settlement of international disputes ? If these questions cannot be answered in the affirmative, then -is there no cause for con ..gratnlation on the part-of either a Christian or a philantrophist; neither of whom will or ought to be led away by the vnjgar claptrap of national prestige. 1.

I do not suppose anyone will contend that the smallest effort has been made to secure the Eeaceful settlement of difficulties for the future. at assuredly abundant grounds for national jealousies and misunderstandings have been left and created. Whether the action with the Indian troops was constitutional or not, its tendency is to place Russia and India in hostility; a policy that might seem' shrewd in ages of barbarism, but Which with our religious enlightenment we ought to be ashamed to endorse. In this 19th century I cannot look upon this as a question of vulgar prestige, or of national rivalry, or of suc cessful diplomacy, which every reader knows •is very far removed from truth or honor; but as a question of the emancipation of many peoples, justice, right, and'honor among nations, and a better moral condition of humanity at large, in which respects the Congress seems to me a fad failure, and with the dissatisfaction existing and the blood still flowing, any congratulations a very Bad mockery.—l am, &c...

WELLINGTON, this day.

YESTERDAY'S BUSINESS

THE most interesting topics discussed in the House yesterday, were the Disqualifica tion Bill and Land Tax Bill. The Dis qualification Bill prohibits persons receiving more than £50 on contract in any year from sittißgin the House. It-renders Legisla tiye.Councillors ineligible for seats in the House of Representatives, and vice versa, and imposes a penalty of £50 a day upon any member of the House who accepts a Civil Service appointment within 12 months from the time when he ceased to occupy a seat in the House. Mr Barff opposed the last provision, and moved au amendment thereupon, hi which he was supported by nineteen hon. gentlemen, but his motion was defeated, and the bill read a second time. During the course of the discussion Mr Barton made au onslaught upon the Canterbury runholders who came to the House and legislated for their own interests. Mr Rolleston protested, and the Speaker interposed, but Mr Barton was incorrigible. The other objection offered against the bill was by Mr McLean, who said that it was really meant to [clear Ministers for holding office illegally, a general clause being ap pended at the end clearing away all past transgressions against the Disqualifications Acts. Mr Stout offered to strike out the clause, observing that any irregularity which had arisen was due to the want of an Attorney-General in the Cabinet at that time.

THE LAND TAX The debate on the second reading of the Land Tax Bill was opened by Mr Ballance in a very good speech. Mr Fox had pre viously called attention to a serious printer's error in the bill, a half-penny in the pound capital value, appearing as Jd per £100. Mr Ballance spoke of the uncertainty of the land fund from"which this year's surplus revenue came. In some provinces the receipts were below estimate, and but for the excess from Canterbury and Otago a deficiency of £270,000 would have had to be provided for, instead of the surplus with which the colony entered ou the new financial term. He contended for the fair ness of the land tax and the unfairness of imposing all taxation upon consummable commodities. The duties on these were higher than ruled in neighbouring colonies. He explained very lucidly the principle on which the Government had acted iv exempt ing improvements. John Stuart Mill maintained the right of the State to the whole of the natural increase of land in value, or as it is termed the --unearned increment"; Government, however, would be satisfied with only a portion of this. The tax was more simple than the "all-round tax," and had the merit of greater fairness. An income tax, he observed, Was generally used only for extraordinary purposes — a war, tor example.. It had not been a success in America. Mr Ballance proceeded to defend- the joint stock and beer taxes. The revenue from English beer if the duty had been retained "at only 6d per gallon, would this year have been £86,000, whereas it was only £23,000, the high protective tariff levied in favour of colonial breweries having shutout imports. The New Zealand brewer was more highly protected than any other manufacturer. After careful in quiry, he believed the tax would yield £40,000 upon an expenditure of only £500 in collecting. Referring to the abolition •of the duty on grain, he proceeded to argue in favour of free trade, the mam object used being '.that, although possessing a smaller population, and levying low duties, >the revenue of New South Wales was much greater than that of Victoria, over looking the obvious reference that the home -productions of Victoria must be enormously -greater than that of her sister colony. He 'was similarly hazy when attempting to •show that the abolition of duty on grain was a good thing, because last year New South Wales, _vil.li does not levy duty .imported £46,000 worth of New Zealand grain, and £37,000 from California Ho -tontended that the change from ad valorem duties would put an end to extensive frauds. Mr Woolcock, the incidence of taxation hero of last session, followed. He thought the Government should have postponed the debate until- Major Atkinson, absent through illness, was able to attend. He directed his observations to Mr Mac andrew.. works' statement which, he said, although very good, would m Ins opinion fail from want of ways and means. He thought the Government should not put land along the proposed lines into the market from time to time for the;. purpose of raising revenue, but should clingto It for boua gfide settlement. The joint-stock tax was, he considered, an .objectionable tax on the aggregate capital of small investors. He believed in the beei ana laud taxes, but thought.the latter should be levied on a graduated scale, so as to tall heavier on the big mnholder than onJhe ■small farmer. He considered f^hanggs -in the tariff were tinkering, and thought he -would be able to show the Treasurei *here -he could save a quarter of a on the | -expenditure, and thereby render substantial *&tSti£f2ai he would support the "billas an attempt to place the burdenon the -right shoulders, although he did not ap- Sve of all the' Government proposals He hopeitheland tax would be in .■committtee, with a classification deßcnmm ■ating those lands that benefit by rajlways, and those which do not He; objected to a tax on improvement of town lands and also considered it unfair to make tenants of the : Crownpay as much as if the and was their „own_'. He objected to the joint and^urged the abolition of duties.on timber . cornsackP, woolpacks, f compensation to ; -farrhers:for.the; removal of the ;duty from * — SrDeLatouV spoke at considerable length, - defending all the Government proposals re garding taxation. On the land tax, he said those who supported the Government in the proposal did not regard it as a tax on the landowners, as the hon. member for Cheviot seemed to think, but a tax on what was known as the " unearned increment of rent.

He could not agree with the member for Cheviot that holders of pastoral lands should be exempted fre-m payment of the tax. This was more the assertion of a principle than the. imposition of a tax ; and if it were resisted then the question: would have to be considered whether property should not bear its fair proportion of the burdens of the district iv which it was situated. It was the duty of Liberals, aud any Liberal Government claiming to hold the reins of power, to rid the consolidation fund of such burdens as should be borne by means of local taxation in such a way that property would be called upon to discharge its duties, and then it would, pe.-haps, exercise its rights. As to taxing joint stock and loan companies. If it were found that foreign capital was being em ployed in the colony, and that the profits arising from the employment of that capi tal were drawn away from the'colony he thought the experiment should be made of imposing a small tax upon it. He did not see how they could attempt to balance the tax on foreign and local capital. Capital would go to the best market where it could fiud a more profitable field for invest ment than New Zealand.

Mr Sutton objected to several of the pro posals. The tax on beer and boots could fall only on the poor man, and as for reduc tions in the tariff it would not amount to more than 2s 9d per head pergannum. The debate was adjourned on the motion of Mr Wakefield. There does not appear to be any united opposition to the Govern ment measures.

VARIOUS MATTERS,

The minor questions dealt with in the House yesterday were not of much interest. Mr Ballauce . gave notice of another Imprest Supply Bill. He also stated, in reply to questions, that the £5,000 bonus for the production of 500 tons of beet sugar had not been with drawn and the Agent-General was informed of it. Also that the complete census returns would not be ready before next session, in consequence of pressure of work at the Go vernment printing office. . - Mr Stout stated, in reply to, Mr Wood, that the Government did not propose to in troduce a Bill this session abolishing Grand

Juries.

Mr Sheehan gave.notice of his statement on Native Affairs tor next Tuesday.

The House sat-till about 'half-an-hour after midnight. \

TRIENNIAL PARLIMENT.

The general impresion-.among; members is that the Triennial Parliament Bill will be come law. i - ■:"'■'

the condemned; -puriri. The petition of the Waikato settlers re specting the puriri timber refused by the Railway Department has gone against the Government in the Petitions Committee, as the Government practically admitted allthe_ allegations made by the petitions. Mr McDermott's petition for injury sus tained when attending the celebration of the Queen's Birthday has also been decided. The Committee recommend that tt__is- damage should be ascertained, and if ! any, be assessed and paid with the doctor's bill.

DISQUALIFICATION. There has been some smart speaking on the Disqulification Act. Some of the Op position are desirous of repealing the clause in the exsisting Act which exempted those who had been in the' Provincial Executives from penalties attaching to other members ou taking a government appoint ment within twelve months after resigning their seats. The general feeling is against the repeal. There are now very few of the members of the late Provincial Governments in the House. They are old and war-worn and if any of prosperity make it and an op portunity of finding them suitable employ ment they ought not to be derived of the clause. To 'their credit be it said, they are all of them as poor now as the day on which they entered on politics, while others have been making furtunes around them.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT,

Last night the debate on the Financial Statement opened with a speech of the Treasurer on introducing the Land Tax Bill. Mr Ballance referred in full detail to the measures proposed and argued each measur . separately, ably, and thoroughly. Mr Woolcock, the mover of the celebrated incidence of taxation motion last session, followed. He spoke well for an hour and a quarter, opposing the policy of the Govern ment, and was followed in the same strain by Mr Sanders. Mr DeLatour supported the Government in an excellent and thoughtful speech, well delivered and attentively listened to throughout, and thi3 debate promises to be as good and thorough as that on the Triennial Bill. It -will probably bring the Opposition into shape, as it affords many points on which they can rally; The Southern members insist ou the maintenance of the flour duty or the abolition of the timber duty with it. The beer tax is opposed as erratic, and though the land tax is supported on- all sides, there is a desire to see it extended, so as to embrace all property, real and personal, whether improved or' otherwise. The Companies' tax has supporters and opponents, both equally ardent. There are all the materials for a struggle on finance. The general opinion is that it will come, aud that Major Atkin son will be the leader of the Opposition. Practically he is so already, but the leader of an army without cohesion or rallying cry. The Government is strong and strongly supported. Those who follow them may be dissatisfied on minor portions here and there, but are all united in the confidence they repose in, that Ministers will go as far as circumstances will permit, and as . far as the welfare of the colony, and the highest interests of the people require. In this confidence they grow stronger daily, and there is little likelihood of their being shaken.

HARBOUR MANAGEMENT. A long aud somewhat acrimonious dis^ cussion occurred in the Chamber of Com merce yesterday afternoon on the proposal of the committee to ask the Corporation to hand over the wharf portion, of the re claimed laud to the Harbour Board, a finaucial arrangement being made, a portion of the assets and liabilities being trans ferred on suitable terms. ' Mr Pearce (late M.H.R.), proposed this, and was strongly supported oy Captains Mclntyre and Williams, Messrs. Duncan, Levin, and others, all urging the advantage to the port of placing the control of the harbour in the hands of a separate endowed body, and con tending that the Corporation was not apro perly constituted body to administer harbour affairs. The Mayor, Councillor Mac Donald, aud others opposed the pro posal, taunting the other side with selfish ness and with being too autocratic to take seats in the City Council, challenging them to contest the coming vacancies and try their hand in the Council, and by their wharf management. Ultimately the pro posal was carried by almost 20 votes to 4. This is the beginning of a determined struggle for possession aud admiuistration of the harbour.

A SERIOUS DISPUTE,

A curious case of alleged forgery was commenced at the R.M. Court yesterday. Alfred Henry McLean was charged by William Nicholson with the offence^ The case arose out of an alleged partnership and subsequent quarrel between the accuser and accused. Mr. McLean asserts a partner ship which Nicholson denies, stating that McLean was an employe' for some time past. Advertisements had been in the papers by Nicholson, cautioning the public not to pay money on his account to Mr. McLean, and by McLean that no receipts were of value" unless signed by himself. The case continued all day, and was ad journed. It is generally believed it will fall through as a mere squabble between the men.

A severe N_, W. gale prevailed here on Thursday night, bu£ no damage was done in port and out of the city.; ~

PATEA, this day.

The " Mail" says Mr Macaudrew's pro position in the Public Works Statement which practically leaves but three per cent, of Land Fund to Patea County, is viewed with alarm aud dissatisfaction. That the expenditure ou New Plymouth harbour is no benefit to Patea .vhich is thus deprived of funds urgenrly needed for roa_s of its own or for its own harbour. It says it must be a want of local knowledge which has induced Mr Macandrew to make such a proposition, thinkiug Taranaki and Patea interests allied, whereas they are j antagon istic. .. .

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 forth c 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.] -■ r '
