SATURDAY, JULY 27, 1878.

WAS such expedition as that which marked the passing of the first Act of the session ever known before ? From Fri day to Monday would have been moderate time, according to established precedent, for members to digest the gubernatorial speecli and make the acquaintance of their land ladies. But the Government having them safely lodged in the legislative hall did not permit them to depart thence before they read, a iirst and second time, passed through committee, sent up to the Legis lative Council,, received back, and finally ratified an Act "abolishing one of the late Sir Donald McLean's dearly-cherished ab surdities. For one of those unaccountable causes which defy explanation—unless it be the doctrine carried out so consistently by the Native Office, that a policy gains in profoundly in proportion as it transgresses evcrv rule of common sense—the late Minister to the heathen took away from the Native Lands Court the power of sub pocuiug witnesses. The Court, therefore, was exposed to the humiliation of obtaining evidence by the favour o£ those who were in a position to give testimony; and its whole business liiight at any moment be brought to a stand-till by a itiractory witness walk

ing out of Court. The evil of the system, beyond its damaging effect on the dignity and authority of the Court, was not so much felt when only natives were being dealt with ; for natives, if uninfluenced by un scripuloua pakehas, generally came when ever they were told. Bufc the Court and the native claimants' were sometimes placed at the mercy of Europeans. A refusal in connection with a most important case at the Thames Court brought the business to a standstill. The difficulty there was over come by the threatened cancellation of native interpreters' licenses; but such occurrences are extremely derogatory to the Court and destructive of that respect upon which its influence with the natives depends. Why a restriction so nonsensical and injurious should have remained _so long in force is even more surprising than |the speedy manner in which it has been cwiped off the statute book. The Government merits commendation for dealing with it row with firmne 8 and promptitude. But this is not the only sign of a radical change in the administra tive system of the Native Department, and a departure from the everlasting humouring and temporising which produced in the native mind a very profound and halt-amused ton ■ tempt for' pakeha laws and institutions. The bluster of the Maketu malcontents was ineffectual in tempting the Native Minister to suspend the regular operation of the law. Half the bounce used by the toa party would have sent Sir Donald McLean there \vith a hos^t of officials, caused a suspension of the sitting of the Court, and closed the district indefinitely. The course taken by the Government to secuic the opening of the Wahnate plains, leferred to in the following speech, is similarly decisive. This tract of fine country, confiscated for ,the rebellion of the tribes living north of Wauganui, has remained in the occupation of semi-1 OStilo natives. The late Govern* ment, lacking the firmness to expel, them failed to gain possession by cajolery. We have been told that the land could not be settled without provoking a native war. The present Government is resolved to try, and has ordered Major Brown to carry out the fruirey next month. As a pre liminary, the following placard has been posted on the land, in Maori : " Anyone discovered picking or pulling up surveyor's pegs that arc placed in the confiscated land will be punished according to law." The natives know that the Government has a right to the land, and when they see it really determined to enforce that right there will probably be an end of obstruction. A firm but just policy only will command the confidence and obedience of natives. The first bill of the session, then, is a good augur of two very excellent things—a short and practical session ; and the destruction of Native Onice mystery, humbug, and sham. We find members, at the opening, restored and sitting in their right mind ; is it too much to hope that we shall find them so at the close..

If the caucus of Auckland, Taranaki, and Wellington members, convened to press on the North Island Trunk Railway fore shadowed in the Governor's speech, means that there is danger of serious opposition to that great colonial work, we fear our con gratulations on the hopeful prospects of the session and the broad character of its measures were premature. It would he instructive to watch the very men who freely gave the late Native Minister £250,000 a year to squander in fostering a native difficulty aud corrupting the aboriginal popu lation, begrudge the present Government theconiparativelysmallsum required to open the island for settlement from end to end, and establish the supreme authority of the Crown, iwhicli, while the King country exists as a refuge for murderers and other outlaws is A sham. The proposition is too monstrous for belief, and until Parliament so shamefully stultifies itself, Vt; shall give its members credit for more intelligence and patriotism.

The despatch of a Papal,,inter-nuncio, or Ambassador, to London, arobahly relates to the re-opening of the diplomatic negotia tions with the English Government, which, we were before informed, failed in conse quence of inability to reconcile the views of the two principals respecting the nature of the relations that might sub sist. Information on the subject is Very meagre, and we know nothing of the objects or nature of the diplomatic tie sug gested by the Papal See (which no longer exists as a European State.) The papers by the mail may throw some light on the matter.

The additional £10,000 per annum al lowed by Parliament to the Duke of Con nau"ht brings his annuity up to £25,000. Her Majesty receives £385,000 altogether, from various sonrccs ; the Prince of Wales, £40,000 from the public Treasury ; the Prin cess, £10,000 ; the .Crown Princess of Prus sia, £8,000 ; the Grand Duchess of Hesse Darmstadt, £G ( 000; Duke of Edinburgh, £25,000; Princess Louise, £f>,ooo ; Princess Christian, £G,OOO ; Prince Leopold, £15,000 ; Duchess of Cambridge, £G,OOO ; Duchess Mecklenburg Strelitz, £3,000; Duke of Cambridge, £12,000 ; Duchnss of Teck, £5,000. Altogether, £562,000, which is rather astiff sum to pay for a Royal Family. Moreover, five of tho personages receiving annuities can scarcely bo called British sub jects, but lay claim to the gratitude of the country in one or two instances for marrying at second hand the Queen's daughters.

" A Daily Traveller" confirms the state ments, already published, with respect to the disgraceful state of Mount Eden Road. He has repeatedly assisted to extricate un fortunate animals laden with scoria which have stuck in the mud there. The Public Works Act, he observes, gives power to the County Council to cause the removal of toll-gates, and lie thinks the Government would also have the power to interfere. He hopes the County Chairman, from humane motives, will examine the road and send a report to the Government. He re marks that it is absurd to think that " the Mount Eden Board are to have tolls amount ing to 2s 9d per day for a dray and two horses drawing scoria, and not repair the road for more than 50 yards from the toll gate."

The perplexed young man on matrimony intent will find an infallible guide and use ful friend in the pamphlet issued by Messra Holloway and Garlick, of the City Hall Ar cade. If he be a stranger in Auckland the carefully-sketched plan of Quoou-streetwith adjacent thoroughfares, will direct his foot steps. On the other side of the leaf he be comes interested in the Arcade by a brief sketch of its origin and development, and every page reveals to his wondering gaze the stores laid up to supply the manifold wants of man. From a walnut marble-top cheffonicr, with plate-glass back, to the in evitable cot, there are spread out before him a bewildering selection of household gods. Lest he should be discouraged, however, from his felicitous enterprises, there have been inserted cunningly-devised tables, showing him how he can furnish a neat three-roomed cottage, with all the essentials to connubial bliss, not excepting the double bedstead and kitchen poker, for £22. Or, if his ambition soars higher, a four-roomed cottage is at his disposal for £45.; and a perfect fiVe-roomed palace for £100, with fixings for drawing room—elegant damask suite, cheffonier and what-not thrown in—together with neat furniture for dining-room, two bed-rooms and kitchen. These epitomes of what man really requires before venturing on the troubled sea of matrimony will deliver the bachelor from a multitude of perplexities, and will, no doubt, be reaped in double measure by the philanthropic publishers who thus come to his aid in the hour of great need.

A stir was caused in Newmarket last night by the discovery that Mr Hogg's chimney was on fire. A young man named Holmes, however, promptly mounted the roof at some personal risk, and mainly through his exertions the fire was extin guished.

The annual tca-moeting and concert of the Tonic Sol-fa Choral, Union was held last evening in the meeting-room, Alexan dra-street, when about 170 persons were present. The tables were presided o\ ci bj the Misses Osbourn Shove, Rogers Keynolds, Harris, and Mrs Blakey. After ample justice had been done to the good things provided, the tables were cleared and the room prepared for the concert. M F G Ewingtou occupied the chair, and spoke for a short time on the usefulness and growing popularity of the Tonic Sol-fa method. The choir, consisting of about 20 voices, under the conductorship of Mr T. Cranwell, then went through the following programme in a rcry creditable manner - Sacked: Chorus, » Let all Men praise the Lord •" quartette and chorus, "Be merci ful unto me 0 Lord ;" chorus I will cry unto God most high ;" quartette, Cast thy burden upon the Lord ;" authem, " Like as the heart." Secular : Chorus « Merrie Gipsies all are we ; reading, A good word for wives," Mr F. G Ewington; trio " The Bells of St. Michael's Tower ; solo and vocal accompaniment, '.'Come now 'tis early Spring-time ;" reading, He wanted work," Mr Thos. Boll; chorus, " The Hunting Song;" solo and accompani ment, " Shepherd bom to sorrow : vocal nolka " Como now maidens on the sea ; quartette, "Dream of home;" serenade •'Slumber darling ;" .chorus, 'Nobody cares for thee;" reading, "Tall Ifilk, Mr F G Ewington; choius, Cheerily on we float;" hardest song. "Softly shines the pleasant morn." The National Anthem brought to a _ close a very pleasant and enjoyable evening. Troopers of Nixon Light Horse are requested to attend, in uniform, a meeting on Monday evening next, at the Harp of Erin liotol, for the consideration of impor tant business, under the presidency of Oapt. Isaacs.

\ A public meeting was held on Thursday * at the Star and Garter Hotel (Ooromandol), to consider the advisability of having a steamer built for the Coromandel trade. Mr Gco. McLeod occupied the, chair, and in a few well chosen words, directed the attention of the meeting to the fact that a Htcainor built for this trade, and in the hands of the people, would be a lasting benefit to them, not only in a pecuniary sense, but also as providing them at all times with the means of rapid transit, wherever they might wish to go ; and, further they would not be dependent upon any Auckland Company. However, he would not detain the meeting by any other remarks, but would call upon Mr Holmes (who had been invited down here) to give some idea as to the cost of a suitable Hi earner. Mr Holmes then entered into details with regard to cost, at.d from his remarks, if, was gathered that a steamer much superior to the Durham, and much larger, could be built at a cost of £3,G00. The number of shares taken by the Coromandel already amount to nearly three thousand, and a committee of three persons was appointed to canvass the district, so that it may be concluded that a steamer o: .ho class required will at once be placed on the stocks.—(Correspondent.)

The charges under the Arms Act brought against Mr Sidwcll, a store-keeper at the Wade, occupied the chief attention of the Resident Magistrate yesterday, but the evidence of the several witnesses was of so contradictory a nature that they were dis missed. One of the witnesses, who had come down for the purpose of giving evidence, was left out in the cold, and last night was begging for the price of a supper and bed.

Mr Cox, agent of the Scripture Gift As sociation, presented a number of prizes yesterday to the children of the Remuera ami Newmarket public schools for the best written and repeated Scripture exercises, which was quite an event among the chil dren. Roy Mr Munro and the members of the school committees were present. Mr Cox intends visitiug the Mount Albeit and Mount Eden schools, in the course of next week, on a similar mission.

Messrs. Roberts ami Shorter have arrived at Invercargill. The latter makes his first appearance before us. He comes vvith the reputation of having made the largest number of spot strokes on rrcord—viz., 207,-and shows himself an opponent werthy of Mr Roberta's skill. ITe receives 250 points in 1000, and at those odds the issue is always doubtful, Mr Roberts having upon average slightly the best of it.

Neville Thornton, scene painter and actor is starring at Nelson, and on the occasion of the opening of the Oddfellow' Hall, he read an address, which was accepted as Ins own, and, according to the Nelson " Even ing Mail" oithe 19th instant, " was loudly cheered." The address, which he termed a prologue, was, witli the exception of some dozen" lines, the poem which gained tho prize at the opening of the Theatre Royal in Auckland two years ago. Mr Thornton, with the air of a victor, bowed his acknowledgments to the audience without reference to the author of tho linos in their original form, and the people of Nelson went away with the im pression that a great poet had appeared before them.

One of my reasons for objecting to the Turks is that their very exsistence in Europe has been due to the rivalries between Euro pean Powers, and that their scheme of policy is to speculate upon these rivalries in order to ensure impunity to the most rotten, corrupt, and despicable" Government with which a country has over been cursed.—" Truth"

All those of our readers -who have hitherto taken any interest in our annual aquatic festivals, Avill regret to learn of the sale of Messrs Hunt's open sailing boat, Brothers, which lias so lon^ upheld the honour of our port in the open bout races. The Brothers was built several years ago by Messrs Carr and Son, and her fine points -were not. unnoticed then. She first distinguished herself in the open boat race in the regatta of 1375, when she carried off the first prize with case, under the skilful manipulation of the Messrs Hunt. .She entered the lists at the two succeeding regattas, and was most successful, taking altogether the first prizes for 1875, 1876, and 1877. The success achieved by the little boat was very great, and she rose high in public favour. Numbers of boatbuilders now endeavour to turn out vessels to beat her, about the best of those being the Strawberry. She was beaten by the Brothers with very little difficulty. The Pet was her next opponent, and she proved a very formidable one. Several races took place, two of which were won by the Brothers, and the other by the Pet. The latter race was disputed by the Hunts, who claim that their boat has never been beaten fairly. Very few vessels can claim such honors as the Brothers won for herself, and these successes were, no doubt, due in a large measure to the skill of her owners in handling her. However, she will, perhaps, never be seen in the waters of the Waite mata again, as she has been forwarded to her new owner, Mr G. Mountain, Pureroa, Bay ot Islands.

The plaintiff in the breach of promise case lately heard in Sdyney, Miss Phoebe Mann sell is not, as reported, the same Phoebe Maunsell whogot handsome damages against Mr Cassius, of the West Coast, about five years ago. And on the subject a Melbourne correspondent to a Wellington paper says:— "The case was heard in Melbourne, and was, I suppose, the dirtiest on record. The late H. D. Ireland was employed against poor Phcebe, and his cross-examination was simply terrible. When I saw the name in the Sydney paper I interviewed my friend the editor of "Punch,"and we at once proceeded to see. who Phoobe was. We ascertained that she was not the Phoebe whom old Cassius used to call his " darling," but that she was her first cousin."

Thomas Oronrreil, ro« of a Putney blacksmith, who aftcnmr#s became Earl of Essex, was beheaded on Tower Hill, July 27, 1540, 338 years ago, for alleged treason and heresy. Crtmwell was the friend of Wolsey, and assisted in opening the way" for the' Reformation. The friend ship which existed between these great men of Henry the Eighth's time has been immortalised by the poet, Shakespeare. We would call the attention of nursery men, gardeners, and others, that the time for receiving tenders for tree planting in various streets, has been extended by the City Council, until 2 p.m. of Wednesday next, the 31st inst.

The new Theatre at Nelson was opened on the 19th inst. About 1,000 persons were present; in fact the house was filled toits utmost capacities. At 8 o'clock Mr Neville Thornton read a very neat prologue in verse, and afterwards the drop scene was exposed. The performance, which seems to have been conducted by the Oddfellows' Amateur Company, consisted .'of Maddison Morton's one-act drama, "The Midnight Watch," a concert, and the farce of " Stale Secrets."

Mr E. J. Matthews, of Hepburn-street, writes stating that he ia not the successful tenderer for Ponsonby Road school, the contract was taken by Mr W. J. Matthews.

Messrs Baird's sale of nursery] stock was held yesterday at the Mechanics' Bay nurseries, Jand a large quantity of forest trees, fruit trees, plants, and shrubs wore sold. We understand that the balance will bo fiold on the .same grounds sometime during the next fortnight. The greenhouse plants, hot bod plants, and flowering shrubs will be taken to the market-house for sale on next Friday. Due notice will be given of the description and quantity of plants, &c, and the time of sale.

A short time ago we mentioned the dis covery of splendid white nnd grey marble in immense quantities at Creswell Sound, South of Milford Sound. Specimens were brought up by the chief engineer of the steamer Maori, nnd have been left forn day or two at our oslice. The white marble is remarkably pure in colour ; nnd as there is paid to bo n mountain of it, the discovery is an importand oue. Operations have already been commenced to turn it to account. During a recent performance at the Circus at Hobart Town, IvLdllo. de Granville, the woman with the iron jaw, who, it will be re monbercd, was advertised to appear here with Cooper and Bailey's show, missed her hold, and fell during one of her feats heavily to the ground. She was immediately picked up by the attendants, and was found to be suffering severely from a shock to the nervous syrftem. Considering the height from which plie fell, it was a wonder she was not killed. Says an American Minister, writing of the London Press in 1817 :— " I have been told that some of them yield a profit of £15,000 per annum. The profits of the "Times" arc said to have exceeded £18,000 per annum. The cost of a daily paper to a regular snscriber is about £10 sterling : they are circulated by agents at a penny an hour in London. When a few days old, they are sent to the provincial towns, and through the country at a reduced rnte." —" World"

PARLIAMENTARY.

FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER. WELLINGTON, Friday.

SWEARING IN

Johnnny Martin appeared in a white vest white kid gloves, and white camelia in button-hole. The only noticeable feature about the swearing in was that he took a long time to sign his name. Captain Humphries, the new Usher of the Black Rod, bore it with great solemnity, but appeared troubled, and had some ditfi culty in the management of the long black stick. He enjoys one of the best sinecures in tlie colony. THE OPENING CEREMONIES.

The galleries filled at the opening. The Governor was gorgeously dressed. When the members of the IJouse trooped in at the front doors, Major Paul appeared with a mace over the right shoulder. The Speaker, Mr Macandrew, and Mr Ballance were in front; next, Messrs Moss, Hobbs, Whitaker, and Atkinson together. Major Atkinson stood hat in hand, listening attentively. The Governor read the speech in a firm voice, but stammered at the Maori words. Perfect silence reigned throughout the Chamber until the final gubernatorial benediction, when the Lower House opened. NEW MEMBERS. Messrs. Teschomakor and Montgomery introduced Mr Turnbull. Messrs. Mac andrew and Stout introduced Messrs. Moss, Cutteu, and Barton. Messrs. Sheehan and Hamlin introducced Mr Hobbs. All the galleries were full. Members occupiedthefollowingpositions: On the right of the Government benches, Messrs. Sheehan, Stout, Fisher, Mac andrew. Immediately behind and on the left of thojn, Messrs. Montgomery, Turn bull, Woods, J. C. Brown. On the same side on the cross-benches, Messrs. Seaton, Canington, Harper, Kelly, Moss, Barton, Wallis, Hobbs, Ilaiuliu, Bunny, Woolcook, Gisborne, Whitaker, Fox, Atkinson, Richardson, Moorhouse (in one bench, in seat? occupied at the beginning of last session by Auckland mem bers). Mr Swanson in his old seat on the left of the Speaker. Messrs O'Rorke and Dignau on tho cross benches at the back. Messrs Teschmaker, Wakefield Williams, and Tole were occupant- of the Canterbury benches on the Speaker's left ; two Maoris, with Messrs Young and Grace, interpreetrs, were in the back corner on the right of the door from the library.

The only novelty in the proceedings was a debate on the Native Lands Act Amend ment Bill, which was absorbed by Messrs S-heehan, Whitaker, Barton. Atkinson, and

Sir R. Douglas. The interpreter referred to by Mr Sheehan, refusing to attend the Court as witness, is Mr Guildiug. The bill passed through all stages without material alteration.

The Government relieved Mr Baker, son in-law of the late Colonel Balneavis, of his position in the Native Office. The cause has not transpired. PRESENTATION TO SIR GEO. GREY.

A caucus of Auckland, Taranaki, and Wf.-liri^ton membci sis called. The meeting coacenis measures to press on the North Island Trunk Railway. Otago members appear favourable to the work, provided the railwny is constructed from land; but will o]ip«;:-. ii if a largo loan is asked for the "]Viit FAIiNALL'S PETITION.

Messengers are running about v. ;'th documents. Members from all part:: of >.'■: ! rolony are interviewing Minis ters i! . the wants of their districts. PAPERS ON EDUCATION. Papers h;ive been laid on the table relat ing^ "rhic-ition. Colonel Wln'tmoreon the Btn of January last draws the attention of the "hancellor of the New Zealand Univer-' sity U the fact that the General Medical Council of Great Britain on Education and Exatsiinafion recognised matriculation exa mination of the Universities of Melbourne, iSyuiioy, and Adelaide as sufficient testi moniiijs For proficiency in regard to the preliminaiy examination of medical stu floe':-. but the examination of the New Zeal:-u-r! i niversity was not recognised. M; J Eallance writes to the Agent-Gene ral on tho 22; id May last, instructing Sir Jiiliu-Yo,_;el to support the application of the New Zealand University to extend to the colony tho scholarship established by rhe Gikhrist Trust. He states that Dr. Hector learned from Dr. Carpenter that these fire opeu to New Zealand. IMMIGRATION. Papers relating to immigration from July, 1577, to July, 1878, show that Mr Reid approves of the payment of £250 to Kenna way on tho termination of his engage ment. Mr IT. M. Brewer, Sub-Immigration Officer at Wangaxrai, "writes contradicting- the report that the district is unsuitable for German immigrants. Mr <;i';;:s writes to the immigration officers to discountenance future nomination of foreigner->. All future nominations of the kind will be considered separately. The Boa. J. T. Fisher writes on the 3rd January that some limit should be placed on the fir.je luring which nominations may be acted upon. It approves of the sug posiir.n tu".r all nominations made prior to the 30th Jv.iie, 1576, be cancelled unless rcnowed, Mr I'uacandrew, on the 2nd February, urgcH the Agent-General to send practical ?a::u-:o with means ; and on the 18th ivi'aroh. calls the attention of Ihe Agent- General to tho fact that since the Otago r.^ei'ey was placed under his department tli ■ immigrants that have arrived in Otago ore not oquaJ to tho?e formerly sent out. - The majority, not Scotch, are ignorant of farming. Oil tho 20th March, in reference to tho liot of live thousand agricultural and domestic servants sent by Sir Julius Vogel, Mr Macau-drew says : " Many of the trades enumerated arc not desirable immigrants. Many parts of the colony are already "luffed." He thinks immigrants should be conveyed from Europe by steamer. AGENT" GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT. On the sth April, Mr Macandrew writes that the Government are prepared to accept the tender of the Albion Company for tLo cn;r.-.:.yaucc of immigrants to Otago. lie expresses a desire to reduce the expenses of Die A gent-General's Department, to between £2,000 and £2,500 a year, exclusive if the Agont General's salary, and advertis ing expenses. Tho Government think a i Secrotnry at £SCO is unnecessary. On the 19th April, Mr Macandrew again writes urging steam communication with New Zealand. He regrets that at the initiation of the immigration policy steam communication was not established. They ought to have employed the money paid for the Californiau service in establishing a postal and immigration service combined. In subsequent correspondence Mr Mac and row thinks Commissioners for_ the security of immigrants might be abolished, and informs the Agent-General of the con tract with the New Zealand Shipping Company. Ho says salary ought not have been charged with the passages of Mrs Cochrane and daughter. On the sth July, Mr Macandrew instructs Sir J. Vogel to send 2,200 immigrants to Okigo, being COO additional to the Bluff. He trusts that great care will be exercised in selection. The best agents would be success ful colonists. These instructions were sent consequent on a communication from Mr Bastings Hatch, Mayor of Invercargill, who writes on tho 26th June, asking for 100 immigrants to arrive in September ; 300 in October; and ditto in Movember, Decem ber and January. On the 11th July, Mr Macandrew wrote to the Agent-General that the Government does not' foci jutisfied in paying income tax on the salaries paid in the Agent-General's i~j Gpnrrrn 311^, On tho l?th, in reply to a letter from the Agent-General, setting out that the appro priating of blocks of land for sale in England mificht attvacf- immigrants. Mr Macandrew says Ministers have arrived at the conclusion that such a course would be unfair to the people in the colony. Throughout" the cor respondence, Mr Macandrew speaks in glow ing terms of the prospects of the colony. SIR JOHN COODE ON TARANAKI HARBOUR. Sir John Coode reported against the New Plymouth harbour scheme as impracticable I" "was proposed to allot one-third of the entire waste lands ot Taranaki as. an endowment for this work.
