about the Beer Duty Bill. (No, no.) Well that was said in the lobbies. It would be fatal to the conference of the supporters of the Government if they did not deny that. {No.),**!£> the .-Government; did say that, it was cruela'tid treacherous to their supporters. He again asked them to deny it. If they had said that, they would lose the confidence of the best half of their supporters. He appealed to the hop. member for Manawatu to withdraw his amendment, and allow the Government to discharge their own bills. Then, let the Government pass their estimates, prorogue the House, and endeavour next session 'to propose bills more in accordance with the feeling of the Bouse and the country. To bring forward any new financial measures this session would be worse than what they had already done. The Government had secured to themselves this session as much degrada tion as any Government could expect in one session. If a re-distribution. of seats and an amended Representation Bill had been passed, he would have asked the Go vernment to dissolve. It was perfectly • certain nothing could be done by the Go vernment or the Opposition until they had a fresh election. The House was dis organised, the Government demoralised, the Opposition demoralised, and the country in a state of distrust and uncertainty—not knowing where to turn, either to the right or the left-and the sooner the Government got to the country the better. The Colonial Treasurer (Mr Ballance) said : This measure (the Beer Duty Bill) had been the victim of an accident. He was not prepared to admit the dictum of any hon. gentleman that the measure was ill-conceived. What was the usual indica tion of public dissatisfaction with a Go vernment measure—public meetings, peti tions, and protests. Had any of these things taken place on this occasion? occasion? No. Then from what class did the Opposition to the measure spring? Entirely from the class immediately arlected by it; and the land owners and that class had combined to reject a measure which he believed it would have been to their interest to pass. It had been said that he (the Colonial Treasurer) had stated in the House that the Government would stand or fall by these two measures. He would say that he never stated anything of the kind in that House, and iteration and reiteration of the allegation was contrary to the fact. No doubt these measures were part of the Gov ernment financial proposals, and he did ask the House to consider them as a whole, because they were founded upon the necessity of fresh taxation being proposed. (The hon gentleman quoted from his speecli on the Land Bill when he said that he had calculated that the revenue from the beer tax would amount to £53,000, and that either the tax should be taken off English beer, or the brewers should be asked to con tribute something towards, the revenue.) On the second reading of the Laud Tax Bill he had connected the proposals together and had showed the importance from a financial point of view ot this Land Tax. (The Treasurer then quoted from his speech in which he said that if the House declined to impose a beer tax, it would interfere with the Government financial proposals gener ally. If they took away £30,000 and at the same time reduced the duty on tea and sugar the House must make up the defi ciency from some other source.) That was the alternative. He then put before the House on the second reading, and that was the alternative which he would put before the House. The House was bound to put the Government in a position to makeup that amount of revenue.

.Mr Shrimski : "Carriages." Mrßarff: "An income and property tax." •Mr Ballance continued :He would, tell the House the coivrse which the Government proposed to adopt on this occasion. The Deposition, according: to the hon. member for Egmont, had taken credit for the rejec tion of this measure, and if the Opposition had done this it would have an opportunity of affirming the resolution of the hon. mem ber for Manawatu (Mr Johnston), whether the Opposition was able to do so. If the House negatived the amendment of the hon. member for Manawatu, the Govern ment proposed to withdraw these two measures. The word of the Premier had been given, and the Government could not go back from that, therefore those measures would be withdrawn". The member for Dun stan had referred to a matter which involves a point of honour. He had stated that the Government supporters were told that the Government did not care about the Beer Tax. He (the Treasurer) would say that those supporters were not told that by the Government, or by any person authorised to say anything of the kind. He had stated in the House over and over again that it was the intention of the Government to bring forward this measure and abide by it. Now had the Government adopted an unprecedented course in withdrawing these two measures—any course inconsistent with the honour of their right to continue to hold their seats on the Ministerial benches? He found that this was one of the com monest practices in the English parliamen tary discipline on the introduction of a great financial scheme, that if the Chan cellor of the Exchequer found that some parts of it did not meet with the approval of the House and the country, he had acceded tothegeneralwish, and had withdrawn those parts which were opposed and were un popular. Many hon. members would re member the introduction of the match tax. Mr Lowe estimated that the Government would receive from that tax something like half a million. Petitions were sent in from allpartsof the country, public meetings held, and it was found that the agitation against the: tax was not confined solely to the match makers, but proceeded from all parts of the kingdom, and that the working classes were aroused. The present case, however, was altogether different. There was no popular "clamour against this tax. Where had been the public meetings to protest against it ? Where had been the agitation of the wages class? for which the hon. member for Manawatu professed so much solicitude. There was no agitation from the publicans. The publican interest was silent upon this "matter. They had a particular class repre senting the industry sent up here, and they had gone about the lobbies lobbying members of this House. These were the SsfLaences that were brought to bear. i. his was the secret of the rejection of this measure. The Gladstone Cabinet held a •meeting, and came to a resolution to with draw tile match tax, and Mr Gladstone made this announcement: Ike Cabinet considering the state of opinion which prevails with respect to the financial pro posals of the Government, and especially with "respect to the tax on matches, have luthorise Pd the Chancellor of the Exchequer <to state that the Government do not intend to • proceed with the proposal. In 1848 when there was a proposal to increase the income tax from seven pence to a shilling, the Government, in the face of the Opposition to their pro posals, stated that they did not propose to proceed with the resolution embodying that proposal, and in 1376 an occurrence took .££ A, tKe vote of members we.eq.ual ana the Speaker gave his casting vote from office, and the Opposition did, gest for a single moment that it was the duty of the Government, because part and tire from'office. He (the Treasurer)^ ■several.other instances,when the same thing •duce: a modifications in the bill which h.id

een sent up to another place. The i Treasurer then proceeded to say : " Well, sir, in the first place, the Government do not consider that fresh taxation proposals 'should :::'bo*:':submitted""; to;"" the' House* at this late period of the session. We do not, in the first place, consider that the circumstances warrant us in expect ing that attention would be given to a fresh scheme of Finance, which would do justice to ourselves. We are not prepared, there fore, to submit any fresh scheme of finance, and least of all are we prepared to bring down any financial proposals which could possibly bear in them the impress of retaliation or vindictiveness to a class. Now with regard to a modification of the measures proposed in another place, the Go vernment do not think that any modifica tion whatever should be made hi those measures. They are satisfied with the proposals, and they hope and believe that they will pass into law. The question then arises how are we to get this thirty thousand pounds. Hon.' membets will remember that when I introduced the Financial State ment I referred to a particular item for harbour defences of forty-four thousand pounds, which I suggested might fairly be charged to the Public Works account. These harbour defences are not for the present, but for all time. The amount is £44,000, and it was simply from a feeling that the Public Works account should be relieved, and from the fact that we had sufficient revenue to spare that £44,000, that it was placed upon these estimates to be provided for out of revenue. Now the amount *ye are called upon to supply is £30,000 for the beer tax and £10,000 for the Joint Stock Companies, and £8,000 for the timber duty f making very nearly, together, the amount that is proposed for 'he defence of the harbou if of the colony When I state clearly the' state of this vote for harbour defences the hon. members will see the reasonableness of our proposals. Guns, torpedoes, &c,, would amount to about £25,000, and, upon the estimate made by Sir W. Jervois at home, the cost of these works will be about £19,000. Now, the cost of these works will not require to be met, in all probability, during the present financial year; but we estimate that that amount will be charged. We propose, there fore, to take this £44,000 out of miscel laneous, making it no longer a charge upon the revenue, but making it a charge upon the Public Works Account, and bringing it in upon the Public Works Supplementary Estimates. Now I thiuk this the best Avay of meeting the difficulty, and it seems to me that the account can fairly be made a charge against the Public Works Account. It was put down there, I have said, in order that as few charges as possible should be brought into the Public Works Account ; s so that this account might be conserved for the prosecution of public works and for purposes of immigration. I may also state that, according to the policy which I suggested in the financial statement —that any surplus of revenue might. fairly be placed to the credit of the Public Works account, so that if our revenue should should show a good deal of elasticity —more than Avas expected during the present year—that £44,000 would abso lutely be covered by the revenue ; because that amount would be place to the Public Works. We are now placing it to the ] Public Works account, and if there should be a large surplus of revenue the Public Works account Avill be recouped for this expenditure for harbour defences. We think that is a fair way of meeting this j charge. Now, with regard to the revenue, I will take this opportunity of stating that upon the estimates for the September quarter we might reasonably have assumed that the surplus of revenue over and above our estimate would be more than sufficient to cover any deficiency. The September quarter shewed a very large increase indeed, not merely over the revenue of the corres ponding quarter of last year, but over our estimate. I have not thought it prudent to assume that the three other quarters will shew a corresponding increase. I thought it safer and more prudent to make this charge .upon the Public Works account; and though I very much regret the with drawal of this measure—for I believe the duty was placed upon a luxury—l am prepared to justify them, and to shew that they were done in the interests of the colony. The Customs Tariff Bill and tne Land Tax Bill are two of the greatest measures ever passed in any one session, and they alone, are sufficient justification for the action of the Government. Sir, I think the condition of the .Customs tariff, especially with regard to the position of duties derived from spirits and beer, is unsatisfactory in the highest degree There can be no doubt that the large con sumption of colonial ale has affected the revenue by a large decrease in the con sumption of spirits, and the revenue derived from them, and has also caused a decrease in the consumption of English beer, and unless something is done to recoup the loss which the revenue has sustained in this respect, I say we shall have to put on a larger tax on property than we have proposed during the present year. I will throw that idea out for the reflection of those gentlemen who have voted here to destroy a tax which I believe to be equitable and just. The hon. gentle man resumed his seat amidst cheers. Sir Robert Douglas said the Opposition might have objected to the breach of Stand ing Orders in sitting after 5 o'clock on Fri day. Dr Wallis attacked the action of the Op position, stigmatising? it as petty. The Opposition instead of being victorious on the Beer Bill had meerly been made tools of. Mr Johnson, in replying, attacked the Premier for his action on the Land Bill last session, and charged the Government with assisting in stuffing the Bay of Islands roll. He concluded by desiring to withdraw his amendment, Mr Sheehan objected to the withdrawal. The amendment that the bill be read that day six months was then negatived on the voices, and Mr Stout's amendment for second. reading to-morrow carried. The bill will now be withdrawn. LEGALITY OF SITTING. Mr "Whitaker asked the ruling of the Speaker regarding the House at last sitting continuing after 5.30, because, if what Sir Kobert Douglas said was upheld, all the proceedings which occurred then, all their business would be_ rendered invalid. The Speaker said he would lopk carefully into the question, and give his ruling to morrow. ; CHARITABLE AID. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr Stevens brought forward the following resolution, which he had previously given notice of : —"That it is expedient that the House should be informed in what man ner, and under w hat authority, the adminis tration of hospitals and other charitable in stitutions will be conducted upon the next meeting of Parliament. ; Mr Ballance said they intended to deal with this question upon the general prin ciple, but they intended to encourage the voluntary principle as much as possible. They would, however, avail themselves of all possible sources of information befores submitting their proposals to the House next session. In the meantime the distri bution of funds for charitable purposes would be distributed on the principle of pound for-pound for voluntary contribu- ; tions. The Government would appoint a Commission to inquire into the whole matter during the recess.

SUPREME COURT.—MONDAY.

CRIMINAL SESSIONS,

(Before His Houor Mr Justice Gillies.)

FORGING AND UTTERING,

John Thomas Young, aged 24, described as a grocQr, pleaded guilty. to two charges of forging and uttering, ou the 26th of August, with intent to defraud his master. Prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done, and he hoped His Honor would give him as light a sentence as possible, as this was his first offence. His Honor said he regretted to see so young a man, who ■ had been but a few months iv the colony, giving way to habits of dishonesty, and sentenced him to twelve calendar months. THE CASE OF HORSE STEALING. Henry Fuuke, found guilty of stealing a horse on the 28th September, the property of Mr Every Maclean, was brought up for judgment, he being considered a sane person. The evidence showed that prisoner had been several times convicted of larceny, and on every occasion assumed insanity. He was for several months in. the Whau Asylum, but was set at liberty on the testimony of competent witnesses. Sentence—lß months' imprisonment. STEALING FROM THIS PKRSON. Henry Black, alias Broom, uged 38, described as a labourer, was arraigned upon an indictment charging him with stealing a pocket-book, containing £9 in uiomey, from the person of Emaiinel Christian, settler, on the 21st August. . ". Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Brooklield stated the! few, circum stances, of the case, which will, be within the recollection of our readers. The prisoner and prosecutor met in the Cosmo politan Hotel at nine o'clock on the morning of the 21st, the prosecutor being under the influence of liquor at the time. The j>ri soner and several others got up a quarrel for the purpose of attracting the interest >of Christian. The pretending combatants surrounded the prosecutor, who had previously exhibited his money, aud: in a moment his pocket-book and notes vanished, and prisoner also, who escaped out of the side-door. i Some amusement was caused among the spectators in Court by prisoner's scrutiny of the heads of the jurors as they were suc cessively called into the box, airi chal lenging the least intellectual:looking of them, prisoner being a reputed speculative thinker, a student of Thomas Paine, and a phrenologist. Emanuel Christian deposed that he was a farmer at Matakana, and that on the 18th August he came to Auckland on business. On the morning of the 21st he went out for an early walk, and feeling thirsty went into the Cosmopolitan Hotel for a drink. Prisoner here pulled out a copy of the depositions taken at the Police Court, and desired that witnesses might leave the Court.

Witness continued : He pulled out his pocket-book to pay for drinks round, when he exposed the notes. He was the worse for drink. The barman asiked to take care of his money, but he did not give it up. A row commenced -with prisoner and, three other men. Prisoner was punching a little man, and he, not liking to see a little man imposed upon, went in to help him, and at that moment his money went out of his pocket. Cross-examined at great length ill a some what ingenious manner by prisoner, until stopped by the Court, his Honor telling prisoner lie must not lecture the witness or speak hypothetically to him. Prisoner : I'm an innocent man and I am battling for my liberty. James Sweeney, barman, deposed to the prisoner ■ coming in with live other men and wanting a drink, which he could not pay for; Prosecutor, while calling for a 1 drink; displayed a roll of notes, and imme diately after Black and his associates got up a row, in which the man was robbed.1 Nathaniel Blair deposed that he saw Black snatch the prosecutor's pocket-book out of his pocket and then bolt. Miss Kobertson and .Sergeant-Major Mason gave corroborative testimony. The jury considered for half an hour; and returned a verdict of guilty. Seutence : 18 calendar months. . - v LAECENA AS A BAILEE. Ernest King. Bruce, aged 27/ was arraigned upon several indictments, charg ing him with larceny aa a bailee of two "boxes, containing goods, chiefly wearing apparel, on the 22nd of April, the property of Patrick Gorman, of the North Shore; also, of larceny of a saddle and bridle, on the 29th July, the property of Mr Bevan, of Hamilton. -. Prisoner pleaded guilty to the first charge, and guilty of obtaining a loan on the second charge, viz., the goods taken from Mr Gorman's hotel. On being asked what he had to say why the judgment of the Court should not be passed upon him, he said, that he fully intended to have redeemed the property and was taking steps to carry out his intention, but a rumour got abroad that he was aboutto leave the Colony, which was not true, but which proved fatal to him. Mr Bevan would never have taken steps to prosecute him had he known of his intentions earlier. He wished- to call several witnesses as to character. • Sentence : 9 calendar months. ATTEMPT TO MUKDER. William Franpis> Crowe, aged 62, labourer, was charged with attempting to kill and murder Harry Black alias Broome, at Newton, on the 13th July. ... ■; . Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Brooktield opened the case, and stated that the prisoner aad the wounded, man were both fighting men, and on the day in question Broonie went to a house in the neighbourhood of Newton for the purpose of seeing a girl under the prisoner's roof. Prisoner objected to hia entering the house, when.an altercation took place, and the blow was given which caused the wound. •:. \

DRAPERS AND EARLY CLOSING.

::•:■" (To the Editor.) Sir,—Whilst perusing the columns of the Stab last evening, I canie across a letter treating on Early Closing, the writer of which imagines the •;drapers' assistants are not as justly dealt with as they might be. Saturday,.afternoon would, indeed, be very ni,ce for them to renovate their somewhat fagged natures,' but I maintain it is better for a few to suffer than a great number, as the following will prove. The writer, evi dently; in .thinking of a few drapers, forgot the inconvenience the hundreds of the poorer classes, who are unable to obtain their draperies earlier in the week than Saturday night, would baput to through such a movement—the majority of whom receive their salaries at 6. p.m., after which they visit the draper, grocer, butcher, and baker. Then again,: what a dark miserable place Queen-street' would.be for the hundreds whoso delight, in a promenade ..in" the gaslight, to refresh'themselves after a week of wearisome labour. ;So -for theses two simple reasons I think that the general public would be greatly inconvenienced should such a state of things ever exist as gdrapery establishments being closed on Saturdaytevenings.—l am, &c, Con tentment ■'■-': " ' ''

THE " TIMES " ON AFGHANISTAN ?.;' DIFFICULTY.

TORRES STRAITS MAIL,

The Torres Straits mail arrived at Cook town on October 2.

LONDON, August 16. The " Times " exhaustively discusses the situation of Afghanistan. It considers English interests safe, and says Shere Ali must be made to understand how necessary a friend England is and how distrustful a foe is Russia j and that the Queen's Indian forces will be able to account for whatever force Russia can bring into the country. Russian diplomacy will not be without its uses, if it keeps this country vigilant in developing the local sources of strength in India. 563 persons have been arrested since Nobilings crime, for insults against Emperor William. Java news is to the 24* h August. The reports of the coffee crop are not favourable. The Circe, with a cargo of flour irom New Zealand, reports that while stranded on Bampton Island, south-west of New Guinea, the vessel was plundered by natives. A Convention was signed yesterday at Vienna by Count Andrassy and Kavatheo dori Pasch, relative to the Austrian occupa tion of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The duration of the occupation is not fixed, but the sovereignty of the Sultun is recognised, and prryers will continue to be offered for his Majesty in the chamber and mosques. The Marquis of Bute has given £5,000 towards a Catholic Cathedral at Dundee. HJFurther Dutch reinforcements have arrived at Acheen. Operations are con tinuous. Sickness prevails among the troops. In the House of Commons, in answer to Mr Holt, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said he had had no communication with the Pope as to the re-establishment of relations between England and the Vatican. Hoedel's execution is the first execution in Prussia for many years, the Emperor having always previously refused to confirm a death sentence when pronounced by the Courts. THE CYPRUS RAGE. The English Press condemns the vacillat ing conduct of the authorities with respect to the Indian troops at Cyprus. Sir Stafford Northcote acknowledges 180 cases of* fever there, in reply to a question in Parliament, but asked the reporters not to publish his reply, which was suppressed. The Indian troops at Cyprus were reviewed by the Duke of Edinburgh, together with the white troops. After the review the native officers were presented to the Duke. A petition was presented to Sir Garnet Wolseley, ask ing that the Greek be established as the official language at Cyprus. The petition was refused. The < English language is to be the official lan guage. Six companies, with a capital of £4,200,000, were formed in London during the last'two weeks for speculations con nected with Cyprus. A line of large steamers will be laid on from Liverpool to Cyprus. 500 applications for passages have been received. The first shipment of cargo consisted of fifty barrels of beer. The Porte has declared that the treaty respecting Cyprus did not imply the renunciation by Turkey of her independency. Turkey would listen to the counsels of England, and herself introduce reforms. There would be no necessity for this before the installing of British residents in Asia Minor.

Home Rulers have calied a national con ference in Dublin for the purpose of placing the organisation on a better footing.
