The'short line "from Whangarei to Kanio, p opening up, as it will do, the important _ mineral and agricultural resources of _that I district, will come in as a portion of the i main North live, which will, when com- t pleted, connect Auckland with the Bay of 1 Islands. * MIDDLE ISLAND BAILWAY&. f Now as to the Middle Island. The woxks ( we propose for the future are -.— Otago : ( Central Dunedin to Albert Town, Lake - Wanaka, 160 miles, £1,100,000 ; Anibeiley < to Bruunerton, 110 miles, £950,000 ; Grey- j mouth to Hokitika, 26 miles, £220,000; : Canterbury interior mam line, Oxford to Ternuka, 85 miles, £3S0,000; South Ash burton to Ashburton Forks, 20 miles, £55,000; Alburv extension, 20 miles, £110,000; Tapanui extension to Heriot burn, 10 miles, £40,000 ; Fort-rose to Eden dale, 26 miles, £110,000 ; Otautau to Nightcap*, 16 miles, £75,000; Glutha to Catlin's R ver, IS miles, £95,000 jWaimea to Switzers, 15 miles, £70,000; Lumgtaj to Marora, 35 miles, £ISO,OOO ; Shag \ alley Branch Line, 9 miles, £35 000 ; Tapanui to Heriotburn, 10_ miles £40,000 ; branch to Livingston, 16 miles, £xoo,ooo, making a total length of proposed railways for the Middle Island or 076_ miles, at a total cost of £3.565 : 000. Adding to this an amount of £1,078,000, which is the esti mated cost of completing and putting into working order the lines already authorised and opened for traffic iv the Middle Island, we shall have a total of £4,652,000 for that Mr Macaudtew expressed his belief that that the extension from Clyde to Lake Wanaka which crosses a fine country as level as a bowling green will ulitinately be extended to Hokitika, via the Haast Pass. He said: "The length of that extension, from Albert Town to the now comtem plated termination of the line, is only 190 miles, and the hignest point of the range to be crossed is only I.SOO feet, as against 0,000 feet in the next line we propose to under take, namely, that from Amberley to Brunneiton, a distance or 110 miles. Although it does not appear that this Amberley-Brunnerton line, in proportion to its length and cost of construction, will open up a veirv large extent of country suitable for settlement, yet the area of such land that will be opened up is by no means inconsiderable. and the proceeds of its sale will go far toward defray ing the cost of the work. There can be no room for doubt that the traffic between the East and West Coasts will, by this line, be developed enormously. It is estimated that even now, were the line at work, there would be at least 1,000 tons of ccal alone brought across weekly ; and if, as I believe, this coal, which is quite equal to the best Newcastle, can be put into ship s holds at Lyttelton for somewhere about £1 a ton, it is difficult to place auy other limit than that of the carrying capacity of the line upon the traffic which should be developed. There is an almost unlimited quanity of timber which would find it's way to market by this railway. Hon. members will gather from the engineer's report that much careful ex ploration will be required before the exact route can be determined. From Bruunerton to Greymouth, as members are aware, there is now a railway in operation, and we pro pose to continue it to Hokitika, a distance of 26 miles." Mr Macandrew wentin detail into the other Middle Island proposals. GENERAL SUMMARY. Summing up these proposals, they involve an expenditure for railways in the North leland of £3,733,000, and in the Middle Island of £4,652,900; altogether, £8,385,000. It is proposed that the expenditure shall be extended over five years. The object of the Government will be so as to regulate the administration of the waste lauds of the Crown as to afford every inducement and facility to meu v, ho labour in the construc tion of railways to invest their earnings in land by laying off allotments for sale along the various* lines as they progress. Out of the loan authorised, last session there re mained, on June 30th. available for public, works, about £2,000,000. If we add to the Publio Works Fund from ordinary revenue during the next five years, say £3,500,000, the amount just stated as available will be increased to £5,500,000, and there will remain about £3,000,000 to be raised by further loans in order to meet the estimated cost of the whole proposals. It may perhaps be asked, is not £3,500,000 toolarge a sum to exnect to be spared from revenue ? CROWN LANDS OPENED. The Middle Island railways will ope four million acres of Crown Lauds which would theu release £5 an acre, returning the whole cost of the railway. As regards Crown lands fn the North Island, about 120,000 acres of the best laud on the West Coast poition of the confiscated territory is now being surveyed for sale. He did not ■wish to raise the expectations of hon. members unduly, but he believed that he was warranted in reckoning that from this quarter alone (irrespective of the large area already acquired and under negotiation in the same locality), we may expect to receive a net revenue of three-quarters of a million sterling. In addition, there are very large ai"3as cf land in the Thames and Piako districts which will at once acquire greatly increased value from the prospect of rail way communication being likely to be opened bet ween Grahamstown and Waikato. Other large blocks of land in the Bay of Plenty, Poverty Bay, and Wellington districts will shortly be available, and we shall have the gratification of beholding the North Island, for the first time for many years, yielding a substantial land revenue. ANNUAL EXPENDITURE.

He saidd : — '' The present proposals involve an expenditure of £1,677,000 a-year until the lines mentioned are completed; and if we can come to an arrangement as between ourselves —an honourable under standing, which ought to be held as binding as the laws of the Medes and Persians,— that, upon the completion of these lines, a similar amount shall continue? to be ex pended on productive railways only, it is a mere question of time when all the land throughout the colony which it is required to occupy aud render available by means of railway communication shall be so'rendered available. By the time that railways now proposed are complete, we shall no doubt find that many branch Hues will be under taken by private enterprise."

KOADS AKD DEIDGE3.

On the question of roads aud bridges he said: —" My colleagues and myself are clearly of opinion that they ought to be wholly devolved upon local.bodies,Jby whom the requisite funds must be found. One thing seems to me to be beyond doubt or qnestion. The colony must undertake all such works, or must refuse to undertake any. Any other course must be brimful of injustice. Last session we passed various votes for roads and bridges, with the understanding that the amounts were to be provided out of ths loan. Those votes will, I appr< heud, have to be made good in any case. Many of them are now in course of expenditure, and we pro pose to renew all the unexpended portions by putting them upon this year's Estimates. This will, iv round numbers, mean the ap propriation of about £102,000 for local works in the North Island, about £166,000 for similar woiks in the Middle Island. Thereafter we propose to finally close the account, aud to confine public woiks oper ations entirely to railway construction."

PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.

A considerable sum of money is required for expenditure on various public buildings throughout the colony. Amongst those to which I may specially refer is the Lunatic Asylum at Dunedin, which is too small for the number of inmates, and which it is pro posed to remove lo a more suitable locality, being an extensive reserve of 900 acres of Government land, the cultivation of which on the par: of the patients will it is hoped, render the institution self-supporting. It is proposed in the new establishment to make suitable provision for the cure of in ebriates, to enable which class of patients to be dealt with some special legisla tion will be necessary. It is also in tended to erect upon Hie same re serve adequate separate 1 nildmgs for the Otago Reformatory and Industrial School for boys and girls. The cost of this latter will be moretlian rgconpeti by gelling the

property upon wnichthe school at present I stands. While on this subject, it may not be deemed out of place to notice that the hulk in Wellington harbour belonging to the Public Works Department, being no longer required, we propose to have her fitted up as a Training School aud Reforma tory, into which boys convicted of criminal offences may be drafted frorhall parts of the colony, instead of their being associated with hardened criminals in the common <*aols or mixed with those whose only crime ,is that they have been left destitute and 1 neglected. Mr Macandrew [stated that the prices of materials has greatly reduced; indeed, the reduction on rails alone is so great that if the Government were in a position to pur chase ali;theirails they]required at once, they would effect a saving of £600,000. H concluded with -an earnest peroration upon the importance of pressing on the great work of colonisation. He was loudly applauded. Mr Stout, as Minister of Lands, said the Government had withdrawn from sale lands near the projected lines of railways in order to reap the enhanced value, and the House then adjourned.

women. The wise ones have already bought all my White, Blue, and Black Hamburg Net, and I have only some of the Brown left, in I different patterns, and that-is going fast too; j and no wonder, when I am selling it at tne ridiculous price of Is ayard. I havejustbought a lot of Black, White, and Brown Hamburg Trimming, and will sell it at 2d, 3d, and id. yard; so don't be too late. The ladies tell me there isn't a man more talked of by them in Auckland than I am, and no wonder, when lam always buying them something nice. I only wish _. could get some more Shirt Fronts like I am now sellinzat 6d each. What would the Queen say if she saw my new lot of lovely Cuffs and Collars? I hare plenty of the Collars, but the Cuffs are going so fast that they will soon be an sold: Embroidery. 4d a yard; Ladies, White Stockings, 6d; a few Boys' Woolen Jackets left at 2s. I will now reduce my 6s Jackets to 4s, and my Is ones to 33 6d. Already about three parts of the Scarf Shawls I told you of are sold, and which measure 3 yards 7 inches long, ana over 2 feet wide. If there are any married men who wish their wives to live a long while, and I believe there are some who do, let tneni prove it by treating their wives to one of these Shawls this cold weather.

They look like 18 carat gold, and if they are not I will give you your money back. I will now give your hus bands an inducement to take you out for a walk a little oftener by selling such handsome Watch Guards at 2s «ach. All I need say about them is that though " they may not be" more than 9 carat gold, they look as well as many that are 18 carat, and somebody loses awfully on them, I can assure you. As you ladies are fond of the beautiful, come and look at my immense utock of magnificent Belt Clasps, the highest price of which is Is a pair. The small shopkeepers should buy quickly my round j_ooking Glasses at Bd, Is, and Is 6d per dozen; Silk Cushion Cord, 6<i per dozen yards; Slates, 3d; Towels. 3d; fresh lot of Bog Oak Brooches, 6d each. I want to see how many sensible tailors will come and buy my 10 inch Tape Measures at Id each, worth 6d; my Liden Machine Thread at 6d a 2oz. reel, and my Tailor's Thimbles at 9d a doz., worth 3d each. If all the women in Auckland were as sharp as my lady customers, I shouldn t have any 200 yard reels of Glazed-Cotton left to sell at 8d a dozen, nor any 50-yard ditto to sell at Id per dozen; but there are sure to be some stupid women in every country. My Ruche (different colours) is going well at 4d a yard. I shouldn't be at all surprised but what some of the ladies have been telling their husbands about my Men's superior Felt Hats at 2s 6d, as there I has been a great run on them lately. I have also some at 2s. Handsome Coloured Satin Fur niture Trimming, 6d per yard; Coloured Fur- Braid, 6d per dozen yards; Black and Green Furniture Gimp, 6d per dozen yards; Black Bugle Dress Gimp, reduced to 4d per yard.

I am selling Carte-de-Visites of the principal people in the world at 10d each or 83 a dozen ; » Cabinet size, Is Gd each. What will the men , do when all my Satin Scarfs at Is are all gone, a>.dit will not be long, for I have already sold I 3 should think about 45 dozen. I Bhall want you l ladies to buy my handsome Belt Buckles at 2d , to la as soon as you can, as I have bought over , 92 dozen. 1 have also bought about 80 dozen pairs of Bracelets, which I am selling Gdand 9d a pair, and they are beauties ; ladies high Button Boots, 5s Gd. Some ladies have sense enough to give me is Gd for a good Umbrella, but they don't all appear to have. Military Braid reduced to 4d a dozen yards.

Now lam not going to say that there is one bad woman in a uckland, but btill I will say that sonic are a great deal better than others ; for histar.ee I believe some ladies come and get their bargains of me as esual, and hug them all to themeelves, not saying a word to their friends about the wonder ful bargains t hey have bought, whilst the (rood ladies show what they have bought of me. and tell the price they have paid, and so do good to those they know, including myself. I have a few Hawking Baskets cheap for tho3e who are thinking of going into business. There is one advantage tho ladies will gain by reading this advertisement over again, and that is they will be able to write down what they wish to remember.

But without dis cussing the pros, and cons, of the above tax, J. LEVY would call the attention of the Public of Auck laud— and especially the Working Classes—to tho Great Reduction which he has made in the price of Men's. Boj-'f, and Youth's READY-MADE CLOTHING. This great reduction on what is realiy necessary for the Working Man's comfort, will more than recompense him for the tax on beer. Warm Clothing is a necessity ; Beer is a luxury. Be wise, therefore, and have necessities first, and if you have any spare Cash afterwards, then indulge in luxuries. J. LEVY does not intend in this advertisement tos-sy much, as tho,Parii.imcu!ArT reports occupy so much space, but he has no fear but the few remarks he has offered will cause men to think aright, and if they aro wise, they will lose no time in calling upon their old friend,who assures them that he hp.3 in stock everything that is requisite for their requirements*. J. LEVY Makes no apology for republishing his PRICE LIST again. It caused a sensation before, and will do so again, especially as nearly all the Hues have been reduced.
