It was within a few minutes of the usual hour of adjournment for dinner, and a rapid run was made down the order paper, several members with good appetites, having gone away under the belief that the discussion on Mr Fox's motion would continue until half-past five. At length Mr Manders was found in his place to move his motion that the Government should not adopt the amendments recommended by the conference on the Counties Act, until after considera tion during recess. He had uttered a few sentences when a chorus of sueezes and cries of "Time" caused him and his motion to collause. and members rushed away to feed. r '-_- . -r. _. T7.T T -O-CCfT? DTTIPO

PARN ELL RESERVES.

Tbe Waste Lauds Committee reported the Parnell Reserves Bill with amendments, which are to the following effect: Section 95, to be a site for a Town Hall, and be vested in the Corporation, the remainder to be endowments for a public school, and to be vested in tbe Board of Education.

Mr Mossmovedthat the Bill be committed this day fortnight.—Agreed to. The Bill is almost certain to pass.

FISHERY PROTECTION

Mr Rowe gave notice to ask the Govern ment whether they intend to amend the Fishery Protection Act, 1877. Mr Rowe's object is to induce the Government to en large the meshes allowed by the Act, which at present provides (that every fish under 9 inches shall be put back iuto the sea, and almost always killed, thus variously injur ing the fishing industry at the Thames. Mr Rowe also presented a petition from Mary Yelland, a half-caste of • Coromandel. The petition states that her mother was the wife of a person entitled to the half of cer tain blocks, ou the East Coast, which had been confiscated after the war. The peti tioner alleges that'none of her people went out in rebellion, aud therefore claims com pensation. GOLDFIELDS WORK.

Mr Rowe also gave notice to move that the correspondence between certain parties at the Thames aud the Government, having reference to the extension of the tuunel from Karaka Creek to Tararu Creek be referred to the Goldfields Committee.

THAMES VALLEY RAILWAY.

A mistake was made in the Public Works' Statement respecting the Thames Valley Railway. According to the statement of the length, this railway is to be only thirty miles, which would only bring the railway from Hamilton to the head of the river. It appears that Mr Macandrew was guided by Simpson's old survey. Mr Rowe's eagle eye observed the blunder. He promptly interviewed Ministers, who held a Cabinet meeting to-day, and agreed that the rail way should be extended to Grahamstown.

PETITIONS,

Mr Morris presented several native petitions respecting claims to land in Tauranga. Hori Karaka presented a petition from Wi Kakene, and 48 other natives, respect ing the making of the road from the Bay of Islands to Hokianga. PAYMEMTS TO ROAD BOARDS.

Mr Ormond moved : ** That this House will to-morrow resolve itself into a com mittee of the whole to consider a respectful address to be presented to his Excellency the Governor requesting that provision may he made for payment to road hoards of one third of all moneys . that have accrued, or may accrue, on account of the sale of land on deferred payments within any road hoard district since the passing of the Act of 1877 or not."—Mr Bastings moved the addition of the word "county." .

GOOD SPEECH BY MR. MOSS,

Mr. Moss, in speaking to the motion, said he would oppose the moliou if it was intended to localise the land fund. He held in his hand a return of certain pay ments which members might study with interest. It was a return of receipts and expenditure of various Counties, and a perusal of it would justify his objections to the localisation of the laud fund. He ap prehended that this meant that a man in one part of the colony might buy land at £2 an acre, which would be the very cheapest at the money, and much cheaper than land sold in other places at 2s an acre. But having bought land at £2, they expected that the Government should ex pend an equal sum in improving the value of the land. Localisation of the land fund had always presented itself to his mind in that shape. In Canterbury, people were supposed to pay £2 an acre, whereas iv reality they paid £5 and £7. A man would have, say a £100, aud being ambitious to settle in the Province of Canterbury, was obliged to go to some capitalist and ask hinTto buy land for him, ..because if he pur chased the land, he would have no money to improve it. He would, therefore, satisfy some capitalist of his experience and practical ability, and induce him to buy the land at £2 an acre, on condition of leasing it at 5s an acre for 5 years, and pur chasing it at £5 an acre _, at the end of that time. Large areas were sold in that way. They have thus operated against men with small means, but after purchasing land the purchaser required the Government to expend an equal sum to increase the value of the land, a policy which he for one never considered right. He would quote from the return of Cook County, which levied rates amounting to £968, and received aid from various sources to the amount of £3,251 ; Hokianga County levied rates to the extent of £78, and received aid amounting to £232. Hawkes' Bay levied in rates £1867; reeceived in aid, £3,595. Geraldine began its career with a balance in the bank of £2,704 ; levied rates £3,906, and received in aid from various sources the same year, £173,265 12s 6d; and now has at its credit £151,960 5s 2d (sensation) ;and County Geraldine is now prosecuting a further claim to its share of the sum of £227,000, which it alleges had been w ngfully detained from it.

Mr Rolleston : I think the hon. member is misquoting the figures. Mr Moss : Will the hon. member show me where ?

Mr Bolleston: H he will refer to the return.

Mr Moss : Well, I will not tie myself down to a reference of more than two pence, but if lam wrong I should be glad to be set right. I can only say this return is full of instructions, and one which the House might ponder a little before deciding to localise the land fund. Another return lying on the table gives similar information about road boards, which taxed themselves heavily and realised small aid, while other boards taxed themselves lightly and received thousands of pounds from various sources, and to enable them to carry on works in their dis tricts. Therefore if the motion had ft ten dency to restore legislation which had been repealed, he would feel strongly bound to oppose it.

The motion was agreed to with an amend ment that the House resolve itself into a

committee this day fortnight. . Mr Rolleston said he had looked through the return on the table and felt bound to admit that the member for Parnell was not misquoting figures.- DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER BILL.

In the discussion on the second reading, of ihe Deceased Wife's Sister Marriage/ Bill, Mr Rees, iv replying to the argument' of Mr Wakefield that the measure; should? not pass irotil the ImperialgParHameiit bad; set the example, said such counsel breathed & spirit of subserviency. If influenced by

uch an argument they must stop all reforms in the colony. Were we to be told that, because marriage with a deceased wife's sister was made illegal forty years ago, we. must not extend the franchise, for instance, in New Zealand, and not pass different laud laws that we might jut come up to the limit at which the Parliament of Great Britain stops, and go no further. The proper thing was to consider whether they should do that which is right, wise, and just without fear of any. consequences that might happen, or whether people from New Zealand might visit England or not. The member for Geraldine had said this agitation was got up by a clique. Why, all reforms were originated by cliques. (A member: "National.") What did it be gin with but a few men who got together and were ready to devote themselves, their time, and their money to sonic object which they believed right. (Mr Shrimski : The Abolition Bill.) They were not tbe men who were prepared for slight reasons to change their political views like the mem ber for Geraldine. Mr Wakefield :It is possible that the hon. gentleman refers to me. Mr Rees I should think the reference is too plain. Mr Wakefield : The hon. gentleman made a most offensive reference wbich I could not believe him capable of. The Speaker deprecated such remarks. Mr Bees submitted that he was iv order, aud so long as he did not transgress the rules of debate, he claimed the right to reflect r iipon the actions and words of members of 'the House. There were men who for the sake of rounding a period or cracking a joke are prepared at any time to alter their opi nions. History abounded with such exam-" pies. Tbe old Parliament of Great Britain was full of such examples, and there were persons in this House prepared to follow their example. Even the present Premier had been charged with being the bead of a clique. In all great reforms in government, . politics, religion, art and science, men had i levelled at them accusations that they were a clique. In all early stages of the develop ment of reforms cliques existed. All honour to such cliques who were ready to stand obloquy and reproach, sarcasm and insult for that wbicU they be lieved right. The arguments u._ed against this bill were the stock arguments of people who did not like to see the existing state of things disturbed because they feared they would lead to other reforms. Mr Moss said his present feelings he might say has prejudices, were against the bill, but he could not help asking whether it had been shown any benefit could result from main taining this old law, and why therefore should they prevent tnese marriages. They knew these marriages were frequent, aud therefore there should be some strong reasons against them, he had beard no reason whatever, which justified opposition to such marriages. The House was occupied up to half-past nine o'clock with tbe discussion- on the Deceased Wife's Sisters' Marriage Bill. The ladies gallery displays a larger collection of youth and beauty than has been seen, for many evenings past, and the strangers gallery is crowded. The second reading was received with great demonstrations, many member clapping hands. Division List.—That- the Deceased Wife's Sisters' Marriage Bill, be read a second time. Ayes for receiving : Messrs Ballance, Barton, Brandon, Brown, J. C. Brown, J. E. Bryce, Barringtoo, Cutten, DeLatour, Driver, lusher, Fox, Green, Haoilin, Henry, Hislop, Hobbs, Hodgkin son (teler, Joyce), Kelly, Kenny, Macfar lane, Manders, McLean, McMinn, Mont gomery, Moorhouse, Moss, Murray, Nahe, Oliver, Ormond, Rees, Reeves, Richardson, Richmond, Kowe, Russell, Saunders, Shrimski, Stevens, Stout, Sutton, Swanson, Taiaroa, Wood, and Woolcock.

The result was received with cheers. When the House resumed at 10.30, after the usual adjournment for refreshfhent, there was a beggarly account of empty benches, about twenty-six members being present, and three messengers. Mr Saunders re-opehed the ball on the Education Amendment Bill, by relating an historical anecdote how that the Catholics of Nelson during the Superintendent elec tion of 1867 offered their services to either of the two candidates who would support denominational education, and he warned the House against a possible repetition. He admitted the effensive character of some books used in the schools, but thought the denominational system would produce a worse state of things. He strongly coun selled the House not to legislate in the direction to re-reproduce bieotry which lightened the fires at Smithsfield, Paris, Madrid, and Rome. He would do his best to eradicate the offensive portions of rascally books, but not to return to the denomina tional system. MR SHEEHAN DENOUNCES SEC TARIAN EDUCATION. Mr Sheehan delivered a very forcible speech. He said he was well entitled to speak on the hill as he was an Irishman by birth and a Catholic by education. He had been told on good authority he was a very bad Catholic. (Hear, hear.) He intended to oppose the bill, because by voting for it would be denying his political life. In 1871 and 1572 he iutr oduced legislation in the Auckland Provincial Council to render educatiau secular. He had been told if he supported the secular system he would not again be sent to this House, but if a man could not come into this House except at the will of the Catholic vote he was not worthy of the seat. He came here as a colonist, and declined to be bound by, or at the bid of any Catholic priest or any other person. (Loud cheers.) If he could not keep his seat in the House without that support, he would resign it to-morrow. (Ronewed cheers.) Catholics were strongly advised by the people who ought to lead them into proper paths. In 1872 he found in the pro vince of Aucklaud, wherever a denomina tional school came into operation, it would vest in some other denominations, while in towns the Catholics were strong enough to support schools for themselves. People knew he was a bad Catholic and was prepared to be so, rather than support a denominational system. He would not join those who were prepared to place Catholics in a bad position. The tendency of the bill was to kaep open the natinal and religious differ ences, which he hoped would never fiud a permanent footing in this country. They had got Orangeism, and Hibernianism, and all el .menls of what may become a bitter struggle in tbe colony. He appealed to tbe House to support the Government in providing an educational system for the whole colony. Catholics had a good case lin the objections to class books. He would aid in securing books untampered by prejudice on one side or the other. It would be an injury to the Catholic people to pass the biU. If the Bible and religion were worth talking about, surely they ought to be ablo to stand a secular system. They have children morning aud evening, on Saturday and Sunday. It was nonsense to talk about conscientious scruples. He knew many would jump on him for saying this • but denominatioualism was against Catholics themselves. Beyond their power o alter the present condition of education, they may make a fight, but would leave behind sores which would rankle for years. The members for Nelson was going dead against the people he desired to serve. By establishing this system' they would build up a barrier between two classes in the colony, not ouly in religion but in national ism Why talk iv this colony of Irishmen, Englishmen, aud Scotchmen ? Let us ferlet these distinctions, and. endeavour to buildup something.better.- They should abolish denominational education. -He hoped the time would come when they should hear no more of Catholics, Pro testants, or Presbyterians; .but people would come as representatives of the colony to do the business of the colony, and that Catholics would see their true interests'm

a strictly secular system of feducationi -.He; intended to oppose the second reading of : JSir Robert Douglas supported the Bill on the ground of fairness. >'■ _ Mr Barff, in supporting the Bill, said more Protestant girls attended the Convent School of Wellington than Catholics, because of the excellent system of educa- Mr Seymour supported. Mr Murray 1 also supported. Mr II enry moved"the adjournment ot the debate, but on division this was negatived. Ayes, 27 ; nees, 33. ... . . Mr Pyke moved that the House ad 3°Mr" Barff pointed out that this would shelve the Bill. . . , Mr Pyke said his only object in the Homing adjournment was tturt members did not appear in a fit state of mind to dis cuss the question. (Loud cries ot on, oh ") After the doors were closed, Mr Pyke, who now saw the error of his ways, appealed to the Speaker whether he need vote with the ayes, as he had moved the adjourn ment under the impression that the dis cussion would be revived on a future day. The Speaker abruptly drowned his hopes by calling for another teller for the ayes. The division resulted : Ayes, 31; noes, 60. The Bill was therefore shelved, rhere was an immediate rush out of the House, and cries " Its shelved." Tbe House adjourned at 12.30. AUCKLAND PETITIONS. The Petitions Committee reported favourably on the petition of John Wheeler," of Mauku. On the petition of Mr McDermott they recommend that medical expenses aud actual time lost while under treatment be repaid. _- THE BAYHOF ISLANDS ROLL.® 1 It is stated in the lobbies that the result of the Committee of Inquiry respecting 500 names placed on the Mongon'ui and Bay of Islands electoral roll will show indescrea tion on the part of some friends of the Ministry. EDUCATION ACT AMENDMENT^

ACT.

Mr Curtis, in moving the second reading of this bill explained that it was to enable 25 householders to form themselves into a school district, and that they might call on the Education Board to constitute them as a school district with a committee; that the education must be free, that the books must be approved by the Board, aud that they shall be entitled to a share of the Board funds. Mr Thomson moved that the bill be read this day six monrhs. He did not believe that the hon. gentleman had really any hope of the bill being carried. Mr Manders supported, aud Mr Wool cock opposed the bill. MR. SHEEHAN AND DR. GRACE.

A curious story is going the round of tbe lobbies. After the House adjourned last night Mr. Sheehan met Dr. Grace in the lobbies, when Dr. Grace said " You have killed that bill, referring to Mr Curtis's Education Amendment Bill, and I will make you suffer for it." Mr Sheehan walked away. Dr. Grace followed. Mr Sheehan said " I refuse to have anything to say to you." You must not dictate to me as to my action in the Hou_>e. Friends ntervened.

CALEDONIAN GOLDMINING COM PANY.—ANNUAL MEETING.

The fourth annual meeting of the Caledonian Goldmining Company was held at noon to day, at the office of'tho company, Short land-street.

gf^About a dozen shareholders were pre sent.

Mr C. J. Stone, Chairman of Directors, occupied the chair. REPORTS AND BALANCE SHEET. The director's report shewed that during the past year the company had obtained a considerable quantity of gold, from the Otago ground, which was purchased in 1876. By this means the directors have been enabled to continue tbe prospecting of the mine without making further calls on the capital of the country By the Company's operations, 1,533 ozs. 11 dwts. of gold have been won, which sold for £4 229 Os lOd. The varions tributes have yielded £697 13s 6d, and the revenue from winding for other Companies has been £687 7s lOd. An arrangement has lately been made with the Golden Crown, Waio tahi, Cure, Red Queen, and Manukau Companies, to put iv a drive from the 640-feet level of the United Pumping Asso ciation, a distance of 600 feet; work has been commenced, and the drive is now in some 120 feet. The manager of the asso ciated drive reports that, already auriferous ground has been reached, one load from which, having been crushed, with a result of 8 dwts. of retorted gold, and indications are very promising for a better yield. Mr C. B. Stone retires in ordinary course from the Board of Directors, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election. The report of Mr T. James, Mine Manager, gave an encouraging account of the progress of the workings of the mine. # The statement of receipts and expendi ture showed — Receipts : From debtors, 1877; £70; gold, tributers and tailings, £5,058 0s 4d; 'winding, £617 6s lOd; rock drill, £111 2s ; calls, £637 10s ; total, £6,494 0s 2d. Expenditure : Bank of New Zea land: overdraft, £877 15s 8d ; mine expenses, £4,425 10s 2d; temporary investment at.6 per cent., £1,000; balance at bank, £190 14s 4d ; total, £6,494 0s 2s. _ :* The Chairman moved fclie adoption of the report and balance-sheet, and congratulated the shareholders on being in a better posi tion new than in 1676 or 1877. The bank overdraft had been paid off, and £1,000 in vested at interest, while there was a slight balance in hand. The directors had not seen their way to declare a dividend, but, at the same time, the company's prospects were much better than previously. The report and balance-sheet were adopted

ELECTION OF DIRECTOR,

On the motion of Mr J. M. Lennox, Mr. C. B. Stone was re-elected a director of the company.

Auditor.

Mr Waymouth was re-elected auditor, on the motion of Mr White. This beinoj the whole of the business, the meeting terminated.

KAIPARA STEAMSHIP COMPANY.

The provisional directors met at Helensville last evening for the purpose of allotting shares amongst tbe various applicants. It was determined before proceeding with the alloment, to withhold 2,000 shares until the company were paying dividends, when it was confidently expected that these could be placed at a premium, which premium would form the nucleus of a reserve fund. 56 applications were dealt with, of these five were declined and the others modified so as to divide the 4,000 shares amongst 61 holders. Mr A. Burcher was appointed manager. In accordance with the artrcles of association, shareholders will meet in the first week of November .to elect a perma nent board of directors, auditors, &c.

Sad Occurrence.

THE SECOND MATE OF THE BELLA MARY DROWNED IN A GALE.

The barque Bella Mary, which arrived from Hobart Town shortly after sundown last niaht, reports heavy weather during nearly the whole of the passage. On the night of tbe 19th instant, at about half-past seven o'clock, ,vhile the vessel was hove to in a heavy gale, a sea broke over the vessel and carried away the second mate, named John Morgan; The night'was intensely dark, and the sea so high that it was impossible to lower a boat to attempt bis rescue, and even if a boat had been lowered it would not have been of any se whatever.

THEATRE ROYAL.

" MONEY AND MISERY."

Another new piece entitled "Money and Misery " was produced at tbe Theatre last night with Mr Chaplin in the principal part. The plot is rather commonplace, but was redeemed by the clever acting of Mr Chaplin as Lord Clements, who achieved a genuine success. Mrs Hill had to represent a somewhat unpleasant character, and Miss May seemed overweighted. Mr Steele and Miss Morgan deserve great praise for their representations of the poor half-starved labourer and his wife, and Mr Emmett as a drunken milkman created much laugh ter.

TO-NIGHT

'-Money and Misery" will be repeated. To-morrow "The Serious Family" is to be produced.
