to the remark that other men would (ake the Speakership at the salary. He knew men who would occupy the ministerial benches at a reduced salary, but they would be dear at the price. The item was carried. PAYMENT OF MEMBEKS. Mr Taiaroa, a Maori member, threw a shell amongst the would-be economist by moving that the whole £21,575 be struck out. He said they ought to begin at home in these matters. Tin's was negatived by forty-seven to seventeen. —Mr Sauuders ! moved that the amount be reduced by £5,574, making the honorarium £150.— Sir George Grey said the Govern- 1 ment had frequently affirmed the ?rinciple of payment of members, t was an ancient English custom. Many believed without payment of members a large number of desirable men would be ex cluded from the House and leave the legis lation in the hauds of the wealthy classes, and all experience shewed that that class in variably legislates fov its own interests. The Government would have been inclined to introduce a bill this session, but as an ap proach to this £200 had been placed on the estimates, the question was whether £200 was Bufficient. The Government thought it better to leave that question to be dealt

with by the new Parliament. Neither edu cation nor necessity had ever qutitificd him to judge of these matters. He had never known what it was to want money, there fore, would much prefer to leave the matter to be settled by the new Parliament ; but if the amouut was too small they might increase it by special votes. Be believed it to be a fair amount. (Crica of " question"). Sir George Grey spoke with more force than on any occasion previously during the session. Taiaroa's motion was negatived on the voices. A division was demanded. During the interval there was a scene of great animation in the House, and it was evident members took more real interest In this question than any other during the session. Little knots were collected in every part of the House, engaged in earnest discussion. On the question again being put, the noes gave out no uncertain sound, and the motion was negatived by 41 to 19. Mr J. E. Brown proposed that the ten members of the Legislative Council residing in the city of Wellington should receive no honorarium, whioh would reduce the amount by £2,500. Mr Moss in a sarcastic speech criticised this Artemus Ward style of sacrifice. He asked Mr Brown if he would agree to a further reduction of £3,570 by striking off the honorariums of nineteen gentlemen who walked into ayes looby on the last motion. Mr Brown replied that lie did not think the forms of the House would admit of such a motion. A Voice : We can suspond the standing orders. The Chairman : Order, order. Mr Brown : When fete present motion has been dealt with we can deal with yours. Mr Sheehan said there were social reasons, which need uot be discussed, why Wellington members were eutitled to honorariums. Mr Moss objected to the phrase "expense of members," and said he would vote for "payment," Ho had eoasulted his con stituents on the question, and they favored his views. He did not believe there was a constituency in the colony which would not support the payment of members if the question was fairly placed before them. It was a pity that members were placed in the invidious position of votiug their own salaries. He would like to see a bill introduced to place matters on a permanent basis. Mr Hursthouse said lie had not «one iuto the Ayes lobby to seek popularity ; his popularity did not rest on what he did in the House. (Some members, who were evidently thinking of the triumphal arch business, here laughed heartily). As a working man's candidate, he could not afford to attend parliament without re muneration. He thought it members were to be paid the money should be subscribed by their constituents (load cries of "No! No !"). Mr Hursthouse, whose mind -was evidently still running on that arch, went on to say they were goiisg to tear down everything. The discussion here degenerated into a general squabble over tfao question, and Mr Brown ultimately withdrew his amend ment. The whole exhibition was most humiliating. The honorariums were passed. SIR W. MABTIN'S PENSION. A long discussion occurred on the question of Sir W. Martin's pensiond. Sir George Grey in moving the pension said Sir W. Martin received for some time £1,000 a year. He had to perform duties which entailed great wear and tear of the mind and body, and hi 3 health had been much impaired. Sir W. Martin would be entitled to £500 a year; the next Chief Justice who retires would receive £750, v.iiilo the other judges would get £500. Mr McLean saifl Sir W. Martin had been all these years satisfied with his pension, and if the Government considered him entitled to any sum they should put a sum on the estimates. Mr Bowen strongly supported a pension of £500. It would not be creditable to the colony that a gentleman who had occupied the position of first Chief Justice should have a pension only a little over £300. Sir W. Martin had attainments beyond Ms legal knowledge, was a great philologist, whose ability was acknowledged in reference to the South Sea Island dialects. His special knowledge had been very useful in England enabling scientists to discover connections between the different races of the South Sea Islands. Max Millie r had expressed his hiah appreciation of Sir W. Martin's service.

Mr Swansou hoped the House would set its face against the system of increasing pensions every session. Lobbying had been going on respecting " this old gent's pension" for several days past, and several other Tite Barnacles were now clung on his skirts. If a man. deserved well of the country let a lump sum be voted for_ him, and invested, so as to give him certain in terest.

Sir George Grey said neither Sir William Martin nor auy of his friends has had any communication with the Government re specting this matter. He (Sir George Grey) never told what he proposed to do. He never asked any member for it, and never authorised any member to ask for the vote. Money was a matter of indifference to Sir William Martin, and he (the Premier) could not say that he would accept it. He merely asked, the House to vote this in re cognition of Sir William. Martin's services. The item passed.

BELLAMY'S,

There was a most humiliating scene in the House least night, when the item " Bel lamy's," on account of establishment, £250, discussed. Mr Fox said the place "\v as simply a restaurant or private grog shop. Members ought not to guzzle at the expense of their constituents. If present prices did not pay let Bellamys 'charge another three half-penny on beer, and something extra on wine.—Mr Stout said in New South Wales no liquor was supplied to members within the precincts of the House ,>fiply sandwiches and coffee. Here many -Honourable members were observed pulling wry faces, and two went out to get drinks. Mr Stout went on. to say that the true remedy was to abolish Bellamy's. Did any member imagine that tradesmen did work as the|}House was doing..? Did tradesmen go away from their work every half-hour to some public-honse and take a drink ? Yet that was the case in the House. (Oh, oh.) Mr Sheehan said he would support the item. In the Auckland Provincial Council when there was no Bellamys the whipshad to search club and public-houses at intervals dur[ ingdebatesin order to getniembersnpfor divi sion. It there were no Bellamy's members "would make one for themselves. The membeTs of this House were not free from the ordinary frailties of humanity. (Sar castic " No, no," and a voice, ."Oh, dear, r '°» not at all.") He believed the abolition °f Bellamy's would impede business. He sP'-tke from experience, for he hadto keep a

little Belalamy's of his own in the Auck land Provincial Council in order to keep his party from straying away and being absent from divisions. Mr Fox (sotto voce) : That was a \<j y bad school for a young politician^ Mr Wason said it was not s© much the guzzling he objected to as the fearful gorg ing. There was constant stuffing, morning, noon, and night. There was always a dis gusting odour of game, meat and even onion. (The tone of strong disgust in which Mr Wason uttered the word "onion" elicited roars of laughter.) Then there was the cabbage water faugh. He held in Ms hand the card of Bellamy. On one side was printed a glowing advertise ment about the quality of wine and spirits. H3 would leave the Native Ministers to judge of those. But on the other side, there was full board per week, £2; lunch and dinner, £1 12s; breakfast and dinner, £1 15; dinner only, £1 ss. Was not this a pretty state of affairs? There was no good hotel accommodation in Wellington. The days when hon. members had to buy and cook their own chops had passed away. He' thought this subsidy unnecessary.

Mr McLean said the last time he was in Sydney he had dinner with excellent tipple in Bellamy. Mr Fox said they ought to introduce the system of the United States where nothing but tea and coffee was drunk Avithin the precincts of the legislative buildings. He attributed bad legislation to excitement caused by drinking in Bellamy. Mr "Wood here endeavoured to throw oil on the troubled waters." He thought they were wasting time. (No no, and question). Mr Wakefield thought the prices should be increased.

The item was retained by 29 to 22. The other legislative items passed, the whole sum, £391,597, only being reduced by £250, after a discussion occupying a con siderable portion'of two sitting days. SINECURES.

A long discussion took place in the House on the item Examiner of Standing Ordei s on private Bills. Mr Swanson considered this bad because there was nothing to do. The item was retained.

On the item sub-libraian, there was another hot wrangle. Mr Swanson objected to the term " sub," because probably some other swell, who was called librarian, got the money for doing nothing, while the sub librarian did all the work. Item passed.

BELLAMYS.

General disgust is expressed in the lobbie.3 to-day over the discussion last night, especially at vote in aid 6i Bellamys. It is said the House committee found a balance of £800 to credit of the establishment at the opening of the session if the money could be collected. One lobby on dit is that Mr Macfarlane says he would take over_ and boss Bellamys without subsidy as a private spec, and sees hi_ way to make a thousand a year clear. PEIVATE CLAIMS.

Mr Hobbs presented a petition from Thomas Barnaby, of Pukehohe, Auckland, asking for redress for a deduction made by the District Engineer on timber supplied by him to the Government.

Mr Chamberlain moves in the Council on Tuesday that a return of the surveys;' of Kaipara and Helecsville railways be printed. Mr Swanson has given notice to ask the Government whether they have taken any action towards the settlement of the claim of Mrs Eliza Neurant, and if not weather they intend to take any action in this matter.

THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

The proceedings in the Legislative Coun cil were not very important. Colonel Brett kept one attitude during the whole sitting. Captain Eraser's " Hear, hears " were few and far between and given in low tones. There was a touch of the pathetic when Colonel Whitmore described the im mense amount of work done by the Govern ment Representative in the Council. When moving the Executives Councillors Bill he enlarged greatly on this, and said it was more than one mortal man could reasonably be expected to do. He did not refer to the physical work, though that was very large. No, ft was the vast mental strain that told. This drew the sympathy of his whole audience, especially when the hon. Colonel put his hand to his head. Even Dr. Pollen opened his eyes and smiled approval, and other former Ministers energetically exclaimed " hear hear." Dr. Pollen himself spake in favour of the bill, and .waving his indispensable penholder, expatiated on the bad way Ministers were generally treated by an ungrateful public. The learned doctor made a joke that, alas, was only audible to four Councillors immediately surrounding him, but as Sir Dillon Bell was one of the fortunate four, and praised the doctor tor it it must have been a good one. At any rate, those who had not heard it looked enviously toward^ those who had, Avhich the lucky quartette treated as an other joke, and laughed again. Sir Dillon, sustained by Hall's *' hear, hears," slated demagogues generally, and strongly con demned a recent series of articles on the Civil Service. He himself thought that Ministers and Civil Servants generally were actual martyrs to duty, and this he said from his own long experience. Mr Waterhouse though there was not so much suavity in words when there were two Misistera in' Council, and when there was only one "too many cooks," &c. There was more pathos when Colonel Whitmore, answering an objection made,. said he would allow the Bill to lapse, and hinted something about resigning, the room echoed with "No, no," and Captain Fraser brought out a very sonprous "Go on." The Captain strongly advised the Colonial Secretary when assisted to hit back again, this he assured him he had found to be an infalliable remedy for hypercritieisrn. The gallant colonel defended the Civil Service, and while not believing it to be- perfect said it would compare favourably with any Civil Service in the world, and he, therefore, strongly de precated the recent articles on the Service. The cheering was loud and long when Sir Dillon Bell assured the Colonial Secretary he had mistaken the feeling of the Council. Mr Waterhouse thought that the colonel, from his military instances, was too ready to pitch into anyone straight away without staying to see if they were friends of foes. At last the second readiug was carried amidst great applause.

REV THOMAS BUDDLB'S LECTURE OST "CREDULITY AND SCEPTICISM.""^ Owing to the inclemency of the weather, Mr Buddies lecture on "Credulity and Scepticism was not largely attended. .Col. Haultain occu pied the chair, and called upon Rev. R. Taylor, who offered a prayer. The choir then sang •'Can I forget the Valley r The chairman, in his'few introductory remarks, said that all who knew the lecturer were perfectly aware of his ability and he felt convinced that those present would have an instructive and edifying lecture. Air Buddie then proceeded with his lecture, whica evidenced a large amount of stuay and careful research, and altogether, in the space of two hours, wa3 an able de^enco qc the commonly-received principles of Christianity. His subject embraced two extremes : Credulity, believing without evidence ; and Sceptic ism, doubting everything without faith. The lecturer described the difference between these extremes with scholarly skill, and showed that Christianity was based upon, belief, founded upon sufficient evidence. The character of Harrington, depicted m Heniy Hoe-era' "Eclipse of Faith," a book whion was recommended to young men. showed the un happy conditou of a man without faith. A number of sceptics were successively referred to al3O credulous sects, the dogmas of which could not be accepted without a large amount of. credulity. Tho lecturer successively reviewed the particular tenets of Catholicism, Tractiaran -sqm Ritualism, Mohammedanism, Mormonism, Spiritualism, &c, and was astonished that persons should allow themselves to be cheated out of cheir common sense by euch absurdities. The lecturer was especially hard upon Kqman Catholics. The story of the discovery or the "Bookof Mormon," by Joe Smith, was graphi cally told, and modern teachers and writers reviewed, and their teachings exposed, including Parker and Emerson of America and TycdalJ. Huxley, and Newman ot Ireland The "Lost- Tribes," a subiecv ?ppa?e¥tlfr possessing charms for the • credulous, in this colony, was humorously touched upon, creating laughter (A. Voice: "The writer In the Stak, for instance ">. The various forms of reliriouß belief, including their superstitions, i also Pantheism. Atheism, Nationalism Secular- \ I ism, and Materialism, were revealed. He

He instanced Joseph Barker, of Wortley. near Leeds, as a npticable example of a once rel gious man. doubting and descending into blank atheism, and retiring to America, and whoi subsequently thought himself back again into a religious life. He hoped that none of the young men of that Association would cast aside the grand old truths of the Bible for such works a* Darwins Descent of Man, and the fallacies of so-called science. The length of the lecture and the numerous subjects treated, preclude even a fair description of the lecture, which closed with an exhortation to young men. earnestly expresed to stand by the unfailing truths of Scripture, the basis of their faith, assuring them that they form the beat security for their present, and f ature happiness. The lectnre.wag well received and a vote of thanks was carriedby acclamation on the motion of Rev. Allan Webb seconded by MrEwingten.

POLICE COURT —This Day.

(Before R. C. Barstow Esq., X M.) WHIPPING A CONSTABLE.— Henry Schu macher, expressman, was charged with drunkenness and with assaulting a con stable Avith a whip.—Prisoner pleaded not guilty.—Constable George Alexander de posed that prisoner was very drunk yesterday in Shortland-street, and seeing that he was incapable of taking care, either of_ himself or horse and cart, he arrested him. He then struck him with his whip across his arm.—To prisoner : You were backing your horse across the street. You were perfectly incapable, you struck me intentionally, you did not intend to strike the horse, you was very drunk.—Sergeant Mulville de posed that a crowd of people hadgathred round the prisoner, who was very violent.— Prisoner said he had a few glasses, and was in the act of giving his horse a stroke, when it brushed the official coat, he was certainly drunk.—Fined 5s and costs for the assault, 14 days' imprisonment with hard labour.

Assaulting A Wife.—Arthur Kirk was charged with violently assaulting his wife with his clenched fist, on the 16 th inst.—Prisoner pleaded not guilty.—Mary Kirk deposed that her husband came home in a state of excitement, broke the oven, and struck her a violent blow on the head. He raised the broom, but she escaped the blow. He swore he would cook her, and scalded hei with boiling water. He would not work, and she had only received 17s 6d from him for ten weeks, she considered her life was not safe, and she was compelled to seek the protection of the Court.—Tofprisoner,: You are contin ually drunk, your conduct is disgraceful.— Prisoner: I have been suffering from a cold, and have uot been able to got work for some time.—His Worship said that was a reason why he shonld be kind to his wife, and especially as he seemed to depend upon her for his bread. He might have taken a lenient view of the case, but he, the prisoner, had been up before for ill-treating his wife.—Sub-Inspector Pardy said the man evinced no disposition to work, and he was continually on the drink. His Worship said there were plenty of stones to break at Mount Eden.—Fined Is and 9s costs, and to find sureties to keep the peace for six months, himself in £20 fand two others in £10 each.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE CONFERENCE. The conference of School Committees of the educational district of Auckland was held at the City East schoolroom last evening, when the following districts were represented :—City West No. 1 and No. 2, City East No. 1 and No. 2, Ponsonby, Newton, Waiotahi, Kauwaeranga, Tararu, Parawai (the last four 1 names districts being represented by Mr Speight), Titi rangr, Parnell, Moira Eden, Pukekohe East, and Graf ton Road. Apologies^for non-attendance were received from Nga ruawahia, Newmarket, Coromandel, and Whangarei. Mr Gorrie was voted to the chair, and Mr Kcvan appointed Secretary. The Chairman read copies of resolutions passed at a conference held at the Thames relative to the constitution of the Board and the abolition of cumulative voting.

Mr Steadman said, the working of the Act in City East was very unsatisfactory. Teachers were appointed and removed without giving the Committee any voice in the matter, and this was contrary to the spirit of the 48th section of the Act. The Board got £3 12s 6d to £3 15s per head, and only allowed the Committee 2s 6'd, which was insufficient. They had frequentle to pay water rate and other expenses from their own pockets, < while they found great difficulty in obtain ing money for the necessary repairs. The Chairman informed Mr Steadman that the Hon. Mr Ballance had stated in the House that in future ,10s per head would be allowed to Committees for ex penses. Mr Speight said a circular from the Board had informed the Thames Com mittees that the 2b Gd a-head wjis merely temporary for this year. Committees often ran into unnecessary expense, for which the Board was compelled to pay. With reference to teachers, he said that it was only pupil and assistant teachers who were removed and appointed without consulting the Committees, and they were the appren tices of the Board. Mr Peacock moved—" That a petition be forwarded to the Government from the School Committees of Auckland district, requesting that clause 45 be altered, so as to make the appointment of teachers rest with committees, subject to the approval of the Board, and in cases where the Inspector or Schools considers it desirable to remove a teacher, that such removal should only take place with the consent of the com mittee." Seconded by Dr Purchas, who considered that no teacher should be appointed to a common school without the consent of the committee. Mr Boardman moved as an amendment— "That this: meeting respectfully suggests to the Board of Education that school com mittees should be in all cases consulted be fore the appointment or removal of any of the principal teachers of a school, in ac cordance with the 45th clause of the Edu cation Act." Messrs Br early, Steadman, White, Thorne, Purchas, King, and Speight, ad dressed the meeting, after which the amendment was put and lost, and the original resolution agreed to. It was decided, on the motion of Dr Purchas, that a copy of the resolution should be forwarded to each of the Auck land members of ihe House ot Representa tives, asking them to support it. Mr Speight then moved the following resolution, agreed to by the Thames Con ference : —"That the Auckland Education District should be dividad into sub-districts, each estimated to contain (as nearly as may be convenient) an equal number of children, and each to appoint, through the school com mittees, a representative, such represen tatives to represent the Board of Education. The formation or alteration of such sub districts to be provided fur in clause 12," and added, "In case of vacancy in such Board, such vacancy to be se-filled by the sub-district. Seconded .by Mr Boardman and agreed to. Mr Speight, moved the following resolu tion, Avhich was carried unanimously :— " That, in the opinion of Conference, the 65th clause should be altered so as to do away with cumulative votes." On the motion of Dr Purchase it was agteed to, "That the Government be re aucsted to make provision for the establish ment of training schools for teachers as soon as possible." Mr Boardman proposed, "That in the opinion of the Conference, it was highly desirable to establish school libraries in connection with the schools in the district, pointing out how by this means persons after leaving school would be able to con tinue their own education." Seconded by Mr Hughes and lost. The Chairman, Mr Peacock, and Dr Purchas were appointed to draft the resolu tions agreed to for presentation to the Government. The meeting then terminated, with a vote of thanks to the Chairman.
