On the motion for second reading of this bill, which, has been through the Legisla tive Council, Nr Tole said he would be prepared in committee on the bill to move an amend ment to increase the period allowed for leasing endowments, from forty-two to sixty-six years. He said that in the pro posed bill, the limitation of the period to forty-two years would do an injustice to the Auckland Harbour Board, which at present had power to lease for ninety-nine years. Mr J. E. Brown said the bill would give too much power to Harbour Boards. Messrs Bryce, Woolcock, and Swanson strongly urged the Government to proceed with the bill. The second reading was carried on the yoicps PETITION OF S. J. EDMONDS. In reply to Mr Swanson, Mr Sheehan said the Government would consider during the recess whether they could give effect to the recommendation of the Poblic Petitions Committee, in the case of S. J. Edmonds. SHEEP BILL. The Sheep Bill was advanced through committee, with a number of amendments, as far as the 67th clause, and progress was theMR P SUTTOxy OK THE NATIVE POLICY. T.fr Sutton, in a speech last night on going into Committee of Supply, quoted in extenso from the Auckland STAR special reporter's account; i»f the meeting between the Premier, Native Minister, and Tawhiao. He raised shouts of laughter when quoting some of the lighter touches iv the report ; and many members nearly went into con vulsions over the portion narrating your special reporter's interview with Tawhuu, and the fact that the latter immediately issued a royal proclamation, prohibiting any other newspaper than the Auckland Even ing Star from circulating in His Majesty dominions. (Here one hon. member, celebrated throughout New Zealand for his impartiality and wisdom, ejaculated : "And quite right too.") Mr Sutton went on to quote all the beautiful thoughts and poetic touches from the report, and dwelt to the delight of the House, amidst loud cries of "Read more of it," on the con concertina-playing . festivities, liberal distribution of a sack of lollies by the Premier, the phrenological examin ation of the Native Minister's head by Dickey Diamond and other pictures of romantic incidents, and sentimental and poetic conversations, which immor talised the occasion, and shone like tte corruscations of an oriental fairy scene in your specialreports. Mr Slieek&n's Eeply. No sooner had Mr Sutton finished his diatribe upon the Native Minister than Mr Sheehan was on his feet, and made one of the most tremen dous oratorical onslaughts on the member for Napier ever heard in any New Zealand Parliament. During its delivery Mr Sutton, with countenance flnshed scarlet and bewed head, listened to the.scathing de nunciation of the Native Minister. During the delivery of the speech members appeared astonished at the vehemence of the remarks. Mr Sheehan began by observing there was • an. old saying that they should not condemn a man without a fair hearing. He went on to say, withjireference to your Special's in terview with Te Kooti, when the bottle of Red Heart rum \vas produced, that it was through the medium of rum Mr Sutton ac quired native lands. He would never give away two coats to the natives as Sir George Grey did at Hikurangi ; but would strip them naked of laud and clothes, and leave them to starve. There were returns on the table which proved how Mr Sutton acquired lands.

Here Mr Sutton rose to order. He said the Native Minister had no right to make statements which were absolutely untrue, especially with regard to private matters. The Speaker: I think the hon. member cannot expect to be dealt with in any other way. The Native Minister continued : If he wanted a man to act as a sleuth hound he ■would select the member for Napier. He (Mr Sheehan) was prepared to listen to members on the other side of the House; but they must be foemen worthy of his steel : someone who could come into court ■with -dean hands, which Mr Sutton could ! not do. He (Mr Sheehan) had been many years engaged in native business, but never Thought an acre of native land; but the present condition of the member for Napier would show how differently he acted. He (Mr Sutton) had given his last kick and uttered his last insult when he opposed the vote for hospital assistance to the natives of Hawke's Bay. If he (Mr Sheehan) desired to retain his self-respect, he would not answer such attacks as had just been made. Theymust come from some one wiiis. standingin the country and the House ; with a reputation, and no back scores to wipe out. He (Mr Sheehan) had read plays, where in the last act some notorious criminal came forward and cleared his accomplices of crime; but in the present case, Mr Sutton denied charges •which hitherto he had not dared to con tradict. He recognised Mr Sutton as the propounder and improver of what was called ■Oriental finesse, which in. a bush public iouse would be called "cut-throat euchre." The member for Napier understood the process—inducing natives to sign away pro perties over liberal supplies of stimu lants—because he had practised it. Those who knew the work which he (Mr Sheehan) had done this session would not blame him for delay in introduc ing the Native Lands Bill. He would in troduce the billon Friday evening, and take the debate on second reading; but would not waste time in defending his own policy against one whose only native policy had been drunkenness, poverty, and death to the Maoris. If he (Mr Sheehan) left offica to-morrow, he would do so without having a single acre of native land. Mr Sutton had threatened outside the House that he would keep his (Mr Sheehan's) nose to the grind-stone, but he had better not try it. If that member would attack him in this unfair and cowardly manner, then he would make it hot for him. Referring to the state ment by Mr Sutton that the last Ministry had been seven years in office, he said the member for Napier had better not ask for seven years, or he might get it in ..-another way. He would advise the hon. member to leave the discussion of these matters to somebody with unsullied hands and clean consciences. He had been un fortunate enough to have met Mr Sutton some years ago in Hawke's Bay, and that was the secret of the present attack. The member for Napier could not say during that time he (Mr Sheehan) ever injured him by one unfriendly word or action. ' Mr Sutton : I could name fifty. Mr Sheehan : The doetritie of restitution *was unpleasant to some people, but he had a lively hope it would come in Hawke's Bay. Mr Sutton: It has been seven years . <coming. Mr Sheehan: No; only five. Murder ■would out. There were many instances on record of evidence being disclosed after many years, which resulted in criminals 'being punished; but he would advise the member for Clive not to trust to the Statute ■ of Limitation. SUPPLY. After the House had advanced the "Estimates a stage, it adjourned at three ■o'clock.

A WAIF. —Charles Frederick Smith was charged with a breach of the Naval Train ing School Act, by not being unier proper control. —Detective Grace said he had heard frequent complaints from persons residing at the back of the market, respecting the boy's conduct. He had 1 been running about in a half-naked state, sleeping in holes and corners, and picking up food in the streets. —The step-father said he had tried, but could not keep the boy under control. He would not stay at home. His mother was an invalid, and had been confined to her bed for weeks.— Ordered to the Training School for four years, to be brought up in the faith of the Church of England. FOEGING AND UTTERING. — William Johnson, a thin young man, of six feet two inches in height, was again brought up on ■ two charges (1) with forging and uttering an . order, purporting to be signed by p. Rout, ■with iintent Jto defraud (2) with imposing upon Mrs Willcocks, with a view to getting certain benefits, on the 15th inst.— Sub-Inspector Pardy said that Mrs Will- I cocks keeps a lodging house, and prisoner 1 presented the order with intent to defraud ; j he had also presented another order at the i Blue Post dining rooms, purporting to be ' signed by Mr Brown, with a similar object. The prisoner was a " loafer," and had a docided objection to honest labour, other wise he might get assistance and do very, j well.—His Worship said it was a very ! serious offence against ssciety and one that : could not be passed lightly over.—Three months' imprisonment with hard labour.

The Young Tailor.—Andrew Mac donnell, a youth, was charged with absent ing himself from the service of his master, Mr George Bryett, tailor, on the 4th insfc. he being an indentured (apprentice.—Mi- Tyler appeared for the defendant, and pleaded not guilty.—George Bryett deposed that he was a master tailor in Shortland street; the defendant was his apprentice (indenture produced).—Mr Tyler submitted that the indenture was bad on the face of it. Ist, it had been executed for six years, whereas the Act allows but fire years ; 2nd, the 10th sec. of the' Act had not been com plied with, iv the master not covenanting to provide meat, drink, etc. for the apprentice during his term.—His Worship said the Master and Apprentice Act was very vague, and not suitable to all case. There should bo two Acts, one for the government ap prentices, and another for ordinary cases ; these necessaries could not well be supplied. —Mr Tyler quoted from "Burn's Justice" and other authorities to shew that a master rmist find these necessaries, according to law.—His Worship said that another section showed that the finding of these things was according to agreement between the master and the parents or guardians, and not imperative on the master. The excessive term of six years, however, was fatal to it, as the law is clear upon the term of five years. —Mr Bryett asked that the Court would allow the case to be adjourned, in order that he miaht employ counsel.—His Worship said that all the lawyers in Auck land would not alter the case. The indenture was bad. The law only recognises live year apprenticeships.—Mr Bryett : Could not the apprentice be compelled to serve five years ?—His Worship : I could not deal with -that matter, as the boy was appren ticed for six years.—The case was dis missed.

The post-mortem examination of the body of McKelvie showed the case was hopeless from the first passage. The bowels cloaad in con sequence of an immense strain he had to bear whilst buried 30 feet under the mullock. Cap tain Goldsmith, Inspector, is blamed in connec tion with the accident by some, who maintain that he should have seen that the pass in which deceased was buried was timbered, instead of being built up with stone. Another mining accident happened yesterday afternoon. Mr Andrews, employed by Uibuters in the Moanatairi mine, went up in the pass to clear ie, when two truck loads of stone fell on him, burying him up to tho shoulders, nearly suffocating him.

WAITEMATA COUNTY COUNCIL.

The half-yearly meeting of the Waitemata County Council was held this afternoon. Present:—Messrs O. Mays (chairman), Bond, Lamb, DUworth, Gibbons, McKay, aud Sinclair, and Mr Alwright, surveyor.

. Kodney County Council,.—The fol lowing resolution was received from Mr Nathaniel "Wilson, chairman, which "was passed at their Council meeting of Saturday last :—" That circulars be forwarded to the chairmen of the counties of Waitemata, Hobson, "Whangarei, Bokianga, Bay of Islands and Mougouui, asking for theirco operatiou in endeavouring to obtain greater consideration from the Governniant in their public works policy, which at present con templates an expenditure of £8,335,000 on railways during the next five years, and omits any provision for these counties, except a short extension of two and a half miles from Kamo to Whangarei, while there is scarcely a road throughout this part of the country, which can either act us a feeder of traffic to the northern terminus of the railway, or that can iv the least degree answer as a substitute for the rail ways in more favoured localities, and that the above Councils be invited to appoint representatives to a Conference to be held in Auckland during the summer with a view of taking joint action in the matter." —The Council considered the motion a very sen sible one, agreed to the view expressed therein, and resolved to appoint a delegate to represent the Council. The chairman said he had received a tele gram from Mr Macfarlane, requesting the Council to appoint a delegate. He would move a vote of thanks to that gsntleman for the interest he took in the affairs of the Council ; seconded by Mr Lamb and carried. Letters.—A number of letters were received and dealt with. OPITO Bridge.—The tender of Mr J. Inglis vras accepted for the building of a bridge at Opito, for the sum of £195. A DISTMCT POUND.—Mr Enoch Bond desired |o kuow what the Council were going to do towards supporting a pound in his district. The chairman hoped that the Council would not interfere. Mr Bond immediately became wroth, and declared that the pound was a necessary evil, and should have support. It would moreover, bring in a small revenue. The chairman said if the two boards were not able to govern the pound, they were not fit for such au establishment. Mr Bond was about to rise, and gave vent to words which were not parliamentary, but was quieted by a due exercise of authority on the part of the chairman, who moved " That the Council have nothing to do with the . pound," which was carried amid cheers and laughter. Financial Statement.—The statement of receipts and expenditnre of the Council for the half-year ending Sept. 30, 1878, was brought up for discussion and approval. The receipts for the term, including balance of £26'912s in bank, amounted t0£3,0199s lid ; expenditure in the various districts, £1,176 8s 3d ; balance in bank, to the credit of County Council fund, £1,843 Is Bd.

CONCERT IN AID OF ALL SAINTS' ORGAN FUND.

Thk concert given last night in the Ponsonby Hall, in aid of the organ fund of All fcainta' Church, was a great suooess. The hall was full, about four hundred being preeent. At the opening Mr Jenkins apologised for the absence of Mrs MarteUi through indisposition. Mrs Woolley kindly took her place, and played the opening pianoforte solo. A duet by Mrs Taylor and Mr Burnhum, "Flow on, Thou Shining1 River," followed, and was very nicely sung:; as also was "Jessie's Dream," by Mr Macindoe. Miss Vaughan, who was set down on the programme for the aci f eong " Scenes that are Brightest," was suffering from a severe cold, and it was only with the greatest difficulty that the committee induced her to sing. Under the circumstances, she rendered the air very welL Mr Brett gave " Oh! Hear the winds that Blow," in good voice, and Miss Halstead sang very charmingly "Apart," which was loudly applauded and encored. A oomic song " Milk to my Tea," introduced Mr Broughton, a gentleman recently arrived in the colony, who is, without doubt, an admirable amateur comedian, and, if he remains, will be a great acquisition to entertainments of this kind. A duet by Miss Vaughan and Mr Brett was appreciated.; and the closing pianoforte solo by Miss James, who appeared, at Mdlle. Char bonnet's last concert, was a very finished performance. Tho young lady must also be highly complimented for her accompanymonto. The second part of the entertainment consisted of a negro minstrel performance, in which the local talent shone in ebony, to the general amusement and entertainment of the audience. The manner in which they acquitted them selves in the unwonted roie was a theme of general commendation. Mr Wynyard as tam bourine, Mr Marks as bones, and Mr Lewis as Mr Johnstone, were particularly good. The jokes were fresh, pungent, and. localised. The programme of this part, which we need not refer to in greater detail, beyond remarking that Mr Harding's eong in the sentimental, and Mr Lewis's in the comic line, were the besr, wa-j as follows:—Overture, Band; opening chorus, company; song. " Annie Lisle," Mr Mtoddart; song, "Barnum's Chorus," Mr Wynyard; song, "Thou art ever in my dreams," Mr Harding ; song, "Come darling rest your little head," Mr Forder: song, "Little German Band," Mr Marks; song, " The old log cabin in de dell." Mr Lewis; song, "The heart bowed down. MrStoddart; song, " Far o'er the deep blue sea, Mr Hanncken; song. "Complaints" (c>mic), Mr Lewis; the chorus, " Dixey'ij Land," by the company, bring ing a capital entertainment to a termination. "We had almost forgotten to mention the cornet dnetby two juvenile McComishes, eight and ten years old respectively, which was very re markable in its way.

THEATRE ROYAL.

KELLY AND LEON'S MINSTRELS,

The programme at Messrs Kelly and Leon's minstrel and burlesque opera entertainment was repeated last evening, with a success quite equal to that of the previous evening, notwith standing the inclemency of the weather. During the whole of the evening the audience appeared to be highly delighted with the performance; and the various songs, &c., were enthusiastically applauded, and many of them encored. The laughable sketches and comedy of "His Grace

R. Smith, that win position as teacher would oease at'J three months worn that date, and that a copy was iwnt, to each member of the committee. The chairman returned a reply on the sth July to the effect that the dismissal was Illegal as the school coiumttteo had not been consulted.—Mr Darg«.vil<e proposed, •• That the correspondence be referred to Messrs Hesketh and Kichmond for their advice under the circumstance*."—Mr Moat thought, it would not be fair to the Board's solicitor.—The chairman thought it should be referred to the executive ooniniittoe.—Mr Luke suggested a meeting of the Eoo.rd 'jest Friday to take the matter into consideration, but as this course did not meet the approval of the majority the chairman's suggestion was adopted.

Placing WheeLbarrow and Mile Posts on the Rails.

There have been many sensational rumours of stones, &c, being placed on the rails for the purpose of throwing trains ofF ; but until this week no human being could, be dis covered who could be charged with being the perpetrator of so infamous a crime. On "Wednesday night a telegram from New castle was published, stating that attempts had been made to throw a passenger and a goods train off the line, and that a tramp was suspected by the police. Last night another telegram appeared, stating that a man named Figget had been arrested by Detective Doolan on thin serious charge. We -would fain hope that neither Figget nor any other man is guilty of so diabolical an attempt to destroy life. The detective appears to have shown considerable zeal on this and other occasions, aud is said to be justified on the course he took in follow ing up and capturing his man. The morning passenger train from Waikato appears to have been first operated upon, while running between Taupiri and Huntley. Two substantial wooden mile-posts had been torn up and placed on the line, one laid across, and the other placed in an oblique direction, as if to cause the wheels of the engine to glide off the rails. The guard-iron brushed the impediment off. A wheelbarrow is also said to have been placed a, little distance further along the line, but was sent spinning over the embankment.

EVENING STAR FRIO.A i\ OCTOBER IS



Times of August 3, gives a remarkable in stance of the truth of the old adage about murder. It says : —Sarah Brewer, inmate of Bedwellty Workhouse, Tredegar, has confessed that 45 years ago, when at King ston, Herefordshire, she murdered her ille gitimate infant, a week old, by a very large dose of Godfrey's cordial. Six years after wards she married a waggoner, named Phill potts, at Stoke Edith, and disposed of two more children the same way. The doctor eaid they died from iuflmmation of|the lungs. She says she cannot rest any longer, and bodes God will forgive her. After the fire has drawn up, Coke may be added in small lumps (not in large masses), either alone or mixed with Coal A lire 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 Goal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter, than it can be made by any other means.—[Advt.J
