colony. He thanked the Opposition for having compelled the removal of a bad plank in the Government, ship, so that it might be replaced by a good one. Mr Wakefield considered the Govern^ ment position a humiliating one. The Go vernment .should have resigned when defeated in accordance with the statement of the Treasurer that they would stand or fall by their bills. : , Mr DeLatour said the Opposition had snatched a victory by accident. Major Atkinson said he did not desire to prolong the debate. It must be a matter of satisfaction to the Attorney-General that certain members of the Opposition had not acted in the manner he attempted to show with regard to pairs. It would be more satisfactory to the House, when they found that the Attorney-General had wrongly accused members, if he had got up in his See and admitted his error. He (Major Atkinson) wished for the sake of the Gov trnment that it Avas half-past five so that they might retire to solitude to consider the most unfortunate position thevAverein, He did not envy them the Cabinet meeting they would have between then and Monday, especially when he con fdered the firm stand they had formerly taken up in the House. Their defeat had been caused by the inordinate conceit of the Premier and his colleagues, which had led themto believe that, without possessing a-knowledge of the requirements of the country, whatever proposals they made, evolved out of their own inner consciousness, would be accepted by a maionty of the Bouse; and to a great extent that belief had been borne out Members to the number of from 30 to 35 had got up in the House and said the bills would operate unfairly between the rich and the poor, but had said they would vote for the bills because it was such a very excellent Government. Of course this Government was entirely above the sus picion of wanting to cling to office, that Ling about the last thing m the wor d they would think of. He hoped they would not put the country to the expense of a resignation. If they could believe the Minis terial statements upon these questions he would feel quite-easy in his mind, but there Avas no saying that what they declared to be their intention on one day they might notjitmore in the next. Therefore he wished to ad"d his tittle to reasuring Ministers, and not to put them out of office on such a paltry matter as this. The Opposition were not going to bringdown a no-confidence motion. They did not want to turn the Government out. He might go further and console them by saying that even if a no-con fidencs motion Avere tabled, he Avas not sure that he Avould vote for it. He hoped the Government would take his advice, pocket the affront, and remain in office. The Premier arid the Native Minister had distinctly stated that they would accept amendments from their friends, but never from, their enemies. Had they accepted this defeat from their opponents or from their friends ?.' Was the hon. membei for Manawatu a-friend of the Government?

Mr Stout: He will not carry his amend ment.; ''" ' L :'•" -'

Major Atkinson : The Government had" the wisdom of the serpent to wriggle out of their, disposition. The Opposition were prepared to make a golden bridge for their flying, enemy to retreat over. . He hoped the mmber for Manawatu would with draw his amendment. No doubt he would feel that the resignation of the Ministry would be a. great loss to the colony. The Attorney-General had said that the beer tax was an insignificant thing, and therefore they could give it up ; and they wished the House to believe that they gave it up because of the action of their friends, whereas they had been compelled to adopt their present course from the action of the Opposition. The Government, from the high pinnacle which they occupy, had not thought it necessary to consult their friends as a whole ; and they supposed that they had only to say they were going to do this or that, and the majority would vote for it, whether right or wrong. The Government had been absolutely unsparing in the terror ism they had exercised over their friends ; and had endeavoured to manage their opponents in the same way, but without success. Major Atkinson went on to say : We are prepared to meet them in the country whenever the hon. gentleman likes to make an appeal to the country. If they are prepared to go to the country upon this let us be off about our business : let us go to the country and see whether the country want this Beer Tax Bill. The Treasurer said : "You niust deal with these bills as a fiscal whole : that is to say as the policy of the. Government, and perhaps, looking at the course of the debate, it would have been better if all our financial pro posals had been embodied in one measure. All our proposals are internally connected with each other. If you take away £30,000 in one place, you must make it up iv another. I will accept any division that takes place as a test in the whole of our financial measures, but I hope the hon. gentlemen will not think that having voted for the second reading they are at liberty to emasculate our bills in com mittee." If ever tbere was a claim made by any Government to have their measures considered as a whole that claim was put forward in the speech of the Colonial Treasurer. Two of tbeX bills, which em bodied cardinal principles of the Govern ment policy, had been withdrawn, in con sequence of the action of the Opposition, with the strong concurrence of the friends of the Government. The member for City West had actually stated in the House that he was going to vote for a measure which he believed would do injustice to the country, because the Government had called upon him to do it. He did not desire to obstruct the Government. Let-them retain their seats, and let members get home to their business as soon as possible. _ . _ Mr Hamlin said that last session the present Government was twitted with not having a policy, and now it Was said they lacked boldness. The Opposition had lacked the boldness to pronounce themselves nponthe Government policy, -l.tet was the weakness which characterised many members of the House. Why did not those who disapproved of the Government policy come down with one of their own ? They had voted against their consciences at times in order to lead the Government into, wrong paths. Why did not'they take, a stand m the Electoral Bill or Land Tax.Bill? The Opposition claimed the credit of compelling the Government to withdraw certain measures, but that' was done at the request of their friends. The Opposition were now supporting a Property and Income tax because they say they were popular. . J. ne House and the country should not be misled by such sophistry. He could not trust the Opposition; and therefore he would support the Government. , ~ Mr Saunders deprecated the unconstitu tional influence brought to bear against the Government in that House, a power which had far too much influence already He would advise Government in future to put ouaUtheYr measures «by permission of the Licensed Victuallers." , , Mr Kelly expressed regret that the Government had withdrawn the hill, and *he had known what was was going to be done, he would not have voted for the laud Tax Bill. < , ... , +ll( _ „ Messrs McLean and Brown twitted the Government, but thought the amendment should not be pressed. , ' ... Mr Wason regretted that the Opposition had not made an earlier stand,.and thwaited the nefarious Land Tax Bill. '~ -, , ;n At s.4o:the debate was adjourned till Monday, and the House rose. At a caucus 1 of the Opposition members yesterday, a .resolution was passed a that they would arrange ho more pairs witn d .

DR. POLLEN ON THE! ELECTORAL

In the Legislative Council Dr. Pollen, in speaking on the second reading of the pectoral Bill yesterday, quoted,from Sir George "Grey's speech, delivered in the |?wer House on the second reading of the BIU, to show the remarkable contrast

etween that speech and that of the Colonial Secretary in introducing the measure into that Chamber. There was very high floAvn language in the first, Avhile here the Colonial Secretary had said it contained the " stumping principle of manhood suffrage." The Colonial Secretary denied having used such Avoids. Several hon. members Avere certain such Avords were not used.

Dr. Pollen said he had taken them down. It was elicited that the Avords used were "some of the principles of manhood suffrage." (Loud laughter.) Past experi ence showed that the Maori vote could be sold usually for a rum. . There Avas a gentleman at the Bay of i Islands honoured with the regard of the Premier as an aspirant for parliamentary honors, but Avith no chance of getting into any elective House, Avhatever he might in another place (laughter) ; Avho had placed a number of natives on the roll on the strength of their tribal rights, Avhich was illegal. A number of natives had been made electors bj forging their names. Colonel Whitmore said Dr. Pollen Avas stating that which had been proved not to be facts. Dr. Pollen said it was not yet disproved. A commission was merely appointed to in quire who had not reported. He Avas saying this to show what would be the result of Maoris being placed on the roll. DEPUTATION TO.MR. STOUT. A deputation waited on Mr. Stout to day, and urged the establishment of a School of Mines. The Otago members wanted it in connection Avith the Otago University, but the general opinion of the deputation Avas that a general national scheme should be devised Avithout reference to locality. Mr. Stout said the Govern mont sym pathised Avith it, and Avas Avilling to assist; but could not make any definite promise until in possession of more data. Mr. Barff said he had Avritten to the School of Mines at Ballarat for detailed information, and Avhen received he would lay the proposals before the Government.

THE "POST" ON OPPOSITION PATRIOTISM.

The "Post" last night says: "The time has arrived when it will be useful to the public to recall a few prominent eveuts which oocurred at the close of last session, and which shewed the patriotism of those gentlemen, who with with their friends, grace the Opposition benches, and claim to be patriots ardently seeking their country's good. The country must never forget what it has lost in its capacity for the accom plishment of important public works which this year wouln have been provided had the four million bill of last session been passed in its original form, nemember how popular the loan was on the London market, and how three, times the amount asked was subscribed for within a couple of days. Never before was a more popular colonial loan placed on the London market. Had the four millions been maintained instead of being reduced to two-and-a-half millions, the whole amount would easily have been floated, and the public works of the colony ivould have been to that differential additional value carried on, to the great advantage of many parts of the country. But driven by the pertinacious opposition of tbe" party which could not hope at that time to return to power, and was determined to harass the Ministry, however much the country might suffer, the Colonial Treasurer was compelled to move for the reduction of the loan to three millions. That motion was lost by one vote, and ultimately, only two and-a half ' millions were given. Curioußly enough, half-a-million was lost entirely by the manipulation of pairs. Two members paired for an hour, one being absent seeing a friend away by the steamer. The hour elapsed. The Op _>ositton leader hurried on the division, and five members after insisted on claiming the vote of the paired member present, and thus obtained a niaiority of one. But for thi3 there would have been a tie, and the Speaker, as in Buch circumstances is usual, would have given his casting vote for the three mil lions. Who were the prominent men that thus sacrificed the public works of the colony, first by obstructing the Government in what was not a party but purely a colonial question, and com pelling the motion to reduce to three millions, and then by taking the not very lofty advantage of five or ten minutes, reducing this sum further by belt a mil.ion? The names of a few of the more prominent patriots who last year sacrificed so much of the colony's power for providing public works are—Messrs Atkinson, Boweri, Ormond. Douglas, Fox, Russell, McLean, Rol leston, Teschemaker, Wason, Curtis, Mont gomery, Johnston, tfitzroy, and others. We leave the conclusion to the intelligent reader.

AMUSEMENTS

CHEEVERS, KENNEDY, AND BENT'S MINSTRELS.

This clever combination of talent drew a fair house at the Theatre Royal last evening. The performance was varied and attractive, and succeeded in keeping the audience highly amused. The ballads by Mr. T. Campbell and Mr. "Vernon Reid were capitally rendered, and elicited loud applause. Messrs. Roper and Drayton were also in good voice, and they sang extremely well. Likewise Messrs. Cheevers, Kennedy, and Bent in their comic business. The great speciality of the evening was the violin solo, "Life on the Ocean," by Mr. Martin Simonsen. The selection was performed in a masterly manner, and Mr. Simonßen was com pelled to submit to an encore. Messrs. Cheevers and Bent, in their Dutch, Irish and Negro specialities, were very successful, and their lightning changes of character and costume were really wonderful. The various farces were well performed, and sent the audience home in the best humour. The programme will be repeated again this evening.

THE CIRCUS.

The Circus in the Market Keserve was largely attended last evening, by hundreds of visitors, who laughed and wondered, and wondered and laughed at the remarkably clever performances of the actors and equestrians, in which they displayed unerring talent in horsemanship and art. The acrobatic feats elicited warm applause, as well as the series of muscular exercises. The pretty ponies, illustrated by the hand of nature, especially "Butterfly," brought out a ringinground of plaudits, whilst the band played merrily. The. somersaults attracted a host of admirers, whilst the intervening witticisms and odd sayings of the Grimaldians were worthy the genius of Theodore Hook. The matinee, this afternoon, was patronised by juveniles and their guardians to a large extent. New novelties and specialities will be Introduced this evening"

DRAPERS AND EARLY CLOSING.

(To the Editor.) Sir,—ln reference to the above I beg to state that the large drapery shops in Australia have for years and do now close at 2 p.m. on. Saturdays, and have found anything but Ipss or incon venience arise from it. Why not so m Auckland J It seems hard that drapers assistants should be required to work from 15 to 17 hours on Satur days, and all other trades and professions make a short day of it No wonder there is drunken ness among them. The first thing, as a rule, the weary assistant does on leaving work on Satur day night is to repair to the public-house; and why 2 Because he feels he requires a stimulant or perhaps could not do without it. How is it we so seldom find aged men as assistants? Because nnder such slavery they die before they become ajyed. And where is the remedy t It lies in the hands of the people themselves. Let the mer chants, and employers of labourers and me chanics' pay their men on Friday: that will do a Rood deal. Let the shops all close on Saturday afternoons, and give the men fair play. Look at the drapers' assistant, and you will see tne effects of long hours written on his face.—l am, etc., Fair Play. , .

..,;■• (To the Editor.)' gi r _I was pleased to notice in your _last nitrht's issue, correspondence under the heading of Early Closing. It is high time some steps were taken in this matter; but I think it cannot be" expected that business men can close their housedoh Saturday nights, which is their best harvest Working men are at liberty to make. thSu^chases,anl,iffornothingelse,e^oythe_r Oi?eenSreet parade in the gaslight. But why nhtfoUow the example of large towns at home, where it was my privilege for some years to Soy a bal-holiday on Wednesday This was done without any pecuniary loss to merchants, whilst it conferred a great boon on and masters themselves, as the hfnlfit derived from the afternoons recreation enabled them to work with .better spirits, and consequently business met with more success.- Yours, eto., Health.

At Queenstown the whole country moved by a landslip. The Lake arose three feet higher than ever before known, and the town presented a deplorable appearance. The upper part of the town was 33 feet under, and low-lying portions wholly submerged, there being eight or ten feet of Avater in some places. Echard's hotel had four feet of Avater iv it. Hallenstein's store, higher up the beach, three feet. The premises of Mr Holop, chemist, the Prince of Wales Hotel, Victoria and Davis's, brewers, are gone, and fears are entertained for the safety of Echatdt's, from Avhich the proprietor has removed, and the Masonic Hotel is seriously damaged. The damage cannot be estimated for some days, but owners must be great losers both as regards buildings and stores. All business has been removed to high grounds. The Shotover is fully ten feet higher than during the Old Man floods. The quartz machinery in Arrow district is comparatively uninjured. The flood in Pomahaka lias been fearfully high. Kelso is several feet under water.

COROMANDEL, this day, TOKATEA.

Tokatea.—The miniug manager reports seeing blotches ot gold in the stone when breaking down from No. 2 in the stope going'towards No. 3 leader. It continues to look Well. Fenton continues to get pay able crushing stuff in his tribute. _ He is very much dissatisfied with the high per centage by the Company, and would like to have it reduced. Where tributers. are only fossicking the surface for a few speci mens, I would not recommend any reduc tion. In Majorey's tribute, after striking further on the new 'find, more specimens were obtained, and 961bs. got for the week, making ISOlbs from them. This is a dropper from the Tokatea reef at right angles between it and the right hand branch, right on the crown of the hill, about one inch thick. The run of gold is about 3 feet wide, and about 2 feet from the old reef. Hornibrook's tribute is driving No. 1 level through to the surface, and obtained lllbs. specimens from the surface of the right hand branch In Nos. 1. 2, aud 3 tributes there is nothing found pay able yet. With reference to the applications submitted for report, I would recommend the Company to prospect these before letting; Bonanza.—The mine manager reports that he has sank a shaft 40 feet, and also opened out a. drive from the bottom ot the shaft, which is in about 26 feet. About 6 feet more driving will cut the reef. He has taken out 14 tons from the Junction as a trial crushing, which will be crushed this week or next. He has discovered two gold-bearing leaders on the surface close to the shaft. One is about 8 inches, the other 4 inches, and has taken out a f ew.sroall specimens very coarse gold. Can get a splendid prospect by crushing or washing. The large reef is carry ing two splendid walls, the two leaders in the face carrying solid stone, with every promise of getting a good patch of specimens. He has started to drive on the leaders, and are getting out good stuff.

The GOODS are of the BEST QUALITY and MOST FASHIONABLE STYLES, having been made according to A ... J. LEVY'S OWN DIRECTIONS ! and he is well known to the Auckland Public as the Most Fastidious Clothier and Tailor to be found in the city. jJSTThere has always been a scarcity of BOYS' and YOUTHS' CLOTHING in Auckland at this time of the year especially, but amongst this shipment will be found an abundant assortment to' choose from of the latest styles.. OOYS' AND "YOUTHS CjUITS., Of any size. KNICKERBROCKER SUITS, for Bbys from two to twelve years of age, to suit both the richest and poorest (a want hitherto much felt).

LEVY keeps the best assortment of MEN'S AND JUVENILE CLOTHING in Auckland', and this year he is determined to "out-do Herod," and so> defy competition. J. LEVY'S constant study is to have a different style of Clothing for sale than is to be had at any other shop.
