BDeech to the ladies' gallery, which was un usually f«u- He ™I(luced some strong arguments in favour of 'female suffrage and female legislators, adducing examples of the satisfactory operation of the system in America, Manhood suffrage was inevitable, like a great advancing tidal wave. The political demoralisation in America is the effect of socialistic reforms, not ofmanhood suffrage. Mr Pox referred to_ Mount Aithos, ■nrhere no female of any kind is allowed, where cats were all toms, and hens all .cocks- When Governor Bowen visited it, -one of the monks asked him in confidance to describe what sort of a man a women Mr Bastings strongly supported manhood suffrage, and characterised the Bill as com promise. He condemned Government timidity. If the Hare system was left out of Mr Whitaker's Bill lie would preter it, but would generally support the Govern ' ment measure if, in committee, a clause were inserted conferringmanhoodsufiragepureand simple. He advocated the system adopted in Queensland, where the onus of regis tration was cast on the voter, who applied persodally to the Returning Officer for a registration ticket, paying a shilling for it. The voter was then required to sign his name, a fac simile of which was immediately made with the recording instrument. On the polling day if any doubt existed as to the identity of a voter, he would be asked to sign his name, which would be compared with the fac simile. Mr Barff supported the second reading, expressing strong disappointment with the measure. He condemned the proposed system of registration, and instanced a place on the West Coast where two hundred names of English men, and some Scotchmen were struck off on account of their being

alien b. Major Atkinson delivered a strong speech against the bill, alleging that the Premier had pledged the Government to manhood suffrage pure and simple, but had been ■obliged to give way to his colleagues, and sacrifice his own views. The Ministerial icy was the policy of funkers. The Ministry had done nothing for the country except talk. Under the bill the bone and sinew of the country was left to take care of itself, while facilities were given to pro perty-holders. The representation of the two races should be separated. Mr Ballance delivered a'powerful speech in support of the bill. If Mr Whitaker ■would strike out the portion of his bill em bodying Hare's system he would be one of of the true liberals of the country. Mr Whitaker : I accept that at once. Mr Ballance : But will the hon. gentle man's late colleagues accept it? Mr Whitaker : I don't know. The debate was adjourned at 12.30, when the House rose. THE LATEST. In the House Sir George Grey replying to a question from Mr Barton said, the separa ion story was a mere canard. ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN. In the Legislative Council, on the motion of the Hon. Mr Eraser, a select committee was appointed to prepare a Congratulatory Address to the Queen on the successful result of the Berlin Congress. BILLS PASSED. The Sale of Food and Drugs Act Amend ment Bill and the Cruelty to Animals Bill passed. THE BEER TAX. A deputation, consisting of Messrs Dod son, Staples, McCarthy, Johnson, Marshall, Joel, Todhunier, Manning, and Sharp, (M.H.R.), waited on the Treasurer to-day respecting the tax on beer. Mr Marshall, as spokesman, read a -written list of objections to thejtax. _ Mr Ballance replied in detail, stating that though the Government were anxious to study the convenience of the brewers, they were determined to adhere to the three-halfpenny tax. With regard to j contracts the Government proposed to enable brewers to recover from the con sumer. The Government will consider the ■ matter of allowing rebate on stocks. There would be a provision in the bill preventing private brewing by pubiicans. With regard io larg« employers of labour brewing for workmen, he would see what was' the English practice. Mr Macfarlane, M.H.R., who accom panied the deputation, urged that a remis sion on the sugar duty and beer tax would injure the production of barley in the colony. Ministers emphatically deny the statement that any disagreement exists in the Cabinet on vital points of policy, or that any Separation views are entertained,

CREEITORS' MEETINGS.

A MEETING of creditors in the estate of W. Willonghby, cab driver of Mount Eden Road, was called to-day, but only one credi tor was present- The debtor's liabilities were stated at £63 16s Id, assets, £26 17s 6d.

THE NEWMARKET RAILWAY CROSSING.

THE inhabitants of Remuera and New market held a public meeting last evening in Newmarket, to consider the question of a, bridge over the railway crossing, which is deemed unsafe in its present open condition. Mr Clayton, Chairman of the District High way Board, occupied the chair. The Chair man introduced the business, and recounted some of the accidents and narrow escapes of others at the crossing, which should be prevented by a bridge. He urged more over, the removal of the railway work shops to Newmarket which would be a great advantage to the workmen in several ways, and, at the same time, give a clear view of the trains. Mr F. Larkins then moved "That Mr Tole be requested to con tinue urging on the Government theabso lute necessity for the immediate erection of a bridge over the dangerous, crossing on the Remuera road, near Newmarket station." The mover pointed out the danger to which persons were exposed at this crossing, as Mr Barstojv had frequently shewn. Mr Larkins strongly urged the necessity for immediate steps'being taken for the erection of the proposed bridge. Mr Tonks seconded the resolution, and Mr Jenkins supported it. Mr James Baber moved as an amendment " That the word * bridge' be left out of the resolution, and that the Government should rectify their own engineering blunders." MrMcCanl seconded Mr Baber's amend ment pro forma, but was in favour of the original resolution which was carried almost unanimously, Mr Jenkins then moved, and Mr Movgin seconded, " That the member for Eden be requested to urge on the Government that the railway work shops should be removed to Newmarket, where there was a large area of suitable land available." Mr Scarborough objected to the Jposition of the site for the workshops being entertained by that meeting. Mr McCaul agreed with Mr Scarborough. _ It was, after some further discussion, determined to urge upon the Minister of Public "Works the advisability of having the railway workshops removed to New market, and that Messrs Tole and Moss be requested to support the petition. Mr Nolan then moved, and Mr Tonks seconded, remarking that it simply meant removing the rrcecourseplatform to a more convenient position, •' That Mr Tole be requested to urge on the Government the speedy erection of a station at.Green Lane, authorised by the late Government." The motion was put and carried) and the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

The inspection parades of the Scottish, Victoria and Hobson companies of volunteers took place last evening in the presence of Major Withers. The members were subse quently put through by Major Derrom, who exercised them in battalion drill.

necessary for lighting the district with gas." Captain Fraser, R.M., and Mr Superin tendent Thomson have been appointed a commission to inquire into some charges, brought by a female prisoner, in Shortland lock-up, against some members of the local police force. , .

WELLINGTON, this day.

THE PJMUTAKI ACCIDENT,

A telegraia received to-day brings intelli gence of a shocking fatal accident on the liimutaki early this morning. It would appear from the rcry brief particulars to hand, that a young man named William Stephens, residing at the Upper Hutt was driving along the Drake's Elbow between six and seven o'clock, when the waggon capsized and the man and two horses attached to the wagon were killed. Some of die passes in Rimu taki are well known to be very dangerous, At the spot wheie the accident occurred, the road consists of a cutting inside of the mountain with a sheer descent of about 200 feet at the side down which the waggon, with the unfortunate driver and the horses would appear to have been precipitated. MUTINY ON THE ALHAMBRA.

Seven seamenbelonging so the s.s Alham bra were charged before Mr Mansford, R.M., with combining to disobey the law ful commands of the master, Malcolm Muir. The complainant stated that they knocked off work at 10 minutes past 12 to-day, stat ing that they wanted their dinner, until the ship had sailed. They refused, how ever, to go to work, and the consequence was that witness had to put on extra labour to get the ship ready and was now detained witn mails and passengers. The magistrate said itwas an extraordinary way of expedit ing the business of a ship to give men into custody. He did not feel disposed to send them to gaol, and should simply order them on board the ship.

THE SEPARATION MOVEMENT,

At his sale to-day, Mr Duncan, auctioneer, said that in consequence of an article which appeared in the "New Zealander," a general want of confidence was felt as to the continuance of the seat of Government in Wellington. TMb had a depressing effect in commercial and financial circles, affecting more particularly landed proper ties. He had that morning waited on members of the Government to ascertain if there were any grounds for the statements which had been so rashly published, and was informed by a majority of the Ministers, whom he saw, that there was no foundation in fact for the assertions which had been made regarding Separation. Under these circumstances, and fiom the fact that he had received several requests by telegram, and letters from the fSouth, to postpone the sale, he had reluctantly consented to do so until early next month.

OFFICIAL INQUIRY.

An official inquiry was commenced at the gaol fco-day by the visiting justices, touch ing- the circumstances under which the convict, Hawkins, attempted to escape from the hard labour gang working at the new hospital building near Newton, o"n Friday the 9th instspfca^wasujre-captured. The circumstances of tEe escape'^re deposed to by the warders and not disputed, but then the visiting justices wished to pursue the investigation fHrther "in reference to the re capture of Hawkins and his alleged ill-treat ment by the warders. After some consultation the justices resolved to adjourn the inauiry in order to procure the atten dance of some persons who had stated that they were eyewitnesses of the ill-usage of the prisoner. PROPERTY SALE.

Mr J. H. Wallace offered at auction this afternoon, Professor Rowley's property in Willis-street. It was put up first with all foreshore rights, etc., and being started at £S0 per foot, speedily advanced to £160, Mr Chew being the bidder of that sum at which price it was withdrawn, Mr Rowley's reserve being £170 per foot. Councillors Diver and Mac Donald have both given notices of motion for next Thursday meeting of the City Council, to the effect that a public meeting of ratepayers should be called to consider a proposal for the raising of a loan of £15,000, for the formation and improvement of the streets in this city.

NEW THREE-CYLINDER ENGINE.

Messrs Pouter asd Co. have a new : portable three-cylinder engine just received from the patentee in Birmingham, the first which baa been imported into New Zealand. The, patent for this new engine wns obtained a little over a year ago by Mr Willans, the constructor. It is light, of quick speed, burns less fuel and possesses many other things which ore worthy of notice. The greateet novelty in this engine is fts compactness and the small number of working parts. All that is visible when it is working is a domed top box aboat 3 feet by 15 inches, with three small vertical cylinders cast upon it, and the cuds of the crank shaft protruding at eithei side. On examination it will be seen the box contains three cranks set at angles of 120°, driven by connecting rods joined to trunk pistons, each piston acting as a slide valve to one of the other engines. The parts are all connected to one_ centre disc valve, by the turning of which the steam passages are diverted, and the engine stopped or reversed in a second. The two main bearings are stuffing boxes, and what is most peculiar to a person not having seen it is, that the whole of the lubricating trunks and connecting rods are drawn from a tallow cup on the steam pipe. The power of the engine lies in the great speed it can be driven, hence its suitability for a circular saw, plaining machine, or anything where great speed is de sired. Its almost universal adoption in the old country more especially for steam launches proves thatits simplicity and dura bility have been thoroughly acknowledged. It will develop as much power as an ordi nary engine twice its weight, and having steam only on the top side of the piston, will run at any speed perfectly noiseless, let the bearing be ever so slack. Any per son taking an interest in the progress of mechanism, should inspect this novelty, which will be working at Messrs E. Porter and Co.'s yards to-morrow at noon.

AUCKLAND CHORAL SOCIETY.

Gounod's solemn mass formed Ihe subject of last night's concert. It has been performed by the Society on many previous occasions, but in spite of the wet and stormy weather, it again attracted a large audience. The nvu«ic, which we have before often noticed, belongs to that 'illustrative' or 'descriptive' class, which is at times so beautifully exhibited, and at times also ridiculously carictured, In the works o£ Handel and Haydn. Gounod's treatment of the words is throughout solemn and reverent. The simple plain chant of the Kyrie ; the rustling prelude to Gloria (suggestingthe multitudinous gathormg of angels); the steadfast declamation of the Credo ; tho profundity of the Crucifixus; the sublime grandeur of the Sanctus; followed by the almost unequalled Benedictus —all in their turn denote the highest artistic concep tion. No 'wonder that the music alwayß flrxls readjr listenera. Considering the short time occupied in preparation, the performance on this occasion was very creditable to the members and to their energetic conductor, Mr Rice. The solo parts were allotted to Miss Bdger (treble), Mr Harker (tenor), and S. Kiccardi (bass). This last-named gentleman, who has made many friends since his advent to Auck land, kindly oonsented to make this his first public appearance, under tho auspices of the Society. He is a most accomplished singer, possessing a rich and well-trained voice of great compass. His eolo "Domine," in the Gloria, was admirable. Miss Edgormust be commendort for doingjf all justice to the Gloria andßenedictus. Mr Harker deserves veiy great credit for his execution of the " Sanctua" under the trying disadvantage of a wavering accompaniment. The chorus, especially the trebles, sang well, both altos and basses were occasionally un mindful of the pin.no marks, and the tenors lacked power: but on the whole there was a decided improvement throughout in the pre cision- with which the leads were taken up. The band was in excellent tune, and did not drown the voices, except in one or two soft passages. The second r>art consisted of miscel laneous secular music. The band played an overture by Herold in a manner that must have been most gratifying to their indefatigable con ductor, Judge Fenton ; and the audience loudly applauded its performance. Balfe's romance. "Didst thou but knowhow|much I love|thee" was sung with exquisite tenderness by Mrs Mitchell, and Miss Maunsell produced a marked impres sion in Sullivan.s song, "Looking back." Miss James, whose lightness and dexterity of touch on the pianoforte we have before had the pleasure of noticing, played a fantasia on Irish airs and received an encore. 8. Riccardi, who was said to be suffering from hoarßenesa, substiuted thesong, "Inever can forget" (Millon), for the one announced, but being enthusiastic ally encored, he essayed (by particular request) the song set down on the programme, the "Evocazioni" from Meyerbeer's Roberto, which he rendered with great declamatory effect. A quaint, but bttauitful German waltz by the band ended the programme. Wo loam that this concert was arranged as a " stop-gup" to break the long interval occupied in the prepar ation of Mendelssohn's "Elijah," which will be performed by the Society early in September.

ROMANTIC ELOPEMENT.

Elopements are becoming popular in Auckland, and seem to have an irresistible charm to some young folks. On Monday a well-known young gentleman eloped with a young lady from the North Shore. His name°is not unlike that of one of our most illustrious poets. He is a good-natured youth, full of fun and frolic, good at all athletic sports, and a capital runner. He has now run away with Polly. Polly is a fair, pretty young lady, with a pleasant, graceful manner. She did not return home all day on Monday, nor at night, neither on Tuesday ; and the absence of Mr Spoke shave being identical, and as Polly had taken her jewels,it became evident that the two had journeyed to Jerusalem together. The police were requested to take them in charge, Polly being but young. Nothing, however, has been heard of the loving pair since Monday. He left the North Shore by the 9.30 boat, and she left by the 11 o'clock. The event has caused great excite ment In domestic circles, both being not only well-known but very well liked.

AUCKLAND PRESBYTERY.

AEJOURNED MEETING.

SUSTENTATION FUND.

The Clerk read the extract minute of a meeting of the Executive Committee ©f the Sustentation Fund, at which a resolution was agreed to, to the effect that the most practical form of bringing the Sustentatiou Fund scheme into operation would be to act in accordance wite clause 9. This clause provided that congregations which give £250 and more to their ministers, and who desired to pay1 the money directly, might do so by sending voucherst estifying to the payments of the stipend. Rev. G. B. Mutiro moved, " That the Presbytery act on ihe resolutions of the Executive Committee." Seconded by Rev. R. Somerville, and agreed to. It was decided to appoint delegates to visit the congregations, and instructjthem in the provisions of the Sustentation Fund. It was agreed on the motion of Rev I).. Bruce that the delegates be disposed as follows:—For St. Andrew's, St. James', St. Stephen's, St. Luke's, St. David's, and North Shore—Revs Macky, Brown, Som merville, and Messrs Lamb and Macffar lane.

Mr Peacock gave notice of motion — ■' That the hour of meeting be one o'clock. " The meeting then terminated.

NARROW ESCAPE.

A FEARFULLY narrow escape from a violent death was witnessed in Queen-street shortly after four o'clock yesterday afternoon. At that time in question, a little boy about six years of age, whose name we have been unable to ascertain, was riding on the back step of an omnibuß, when he was observed by the driver, who whipped at him. This had the effect of causing the child to jump off, but in doing so he came in contact with, a horse and spring cart, which were pro ceeding down the street. He was struck by the horse, and thrown to the ground by. the shock. The wheel passed close to the boy's head, barely grazing it. _ He was picked up by a gentleman passing at the time, and he attended to his injuries, which, fortunately, were not so bad as might have been expected. The danger to children riding behind omnibuses is extremely great, and it should, if possible, be put a stop to before some calamity occurs.

THEATRE ROYAL.

"FORSAKEN."

There was a good house at the Theatre Royal last evening to witness the second production of the sentimental drama''Forsaken." Mr Dillon took the part of the "waif," and Miss Edith Pender that of Philip Melford. Miss Lizzie Morgan was very successful as Susy William^, and her song " Home Sweet Home," elicited an imperative encore fromEthe audience. Messrs Steele, O'Brien, Burford, Musgrave, andEmmett, were all good in their respective parts, and we may saytthe same of - Mrs Walter JHill and Miss Lily May. The sawmill scene was really fine, while the scene in the interior of the Foundling Hospital waß surpassingly beautiful. Mr G D. Chaplin, the great American tragedian, will make his first appearance on Monday next.

Gas is superior to every other material as «, light-giving agent, not only on account of its brilliancy and its cheapness, but because it is safer, economises time and labour, and is more easily managed. Amongst all classes of society it is in high favour; taking rank with the necessariea, as well as the elegancies of life. It merits whatever can be said on its behalf. Those v/ho have enjoyed its advantages are always the most ready, as they are also the most competent to pro claim its praise.—[See Advertisement.]
