which -were to melt away, to lead the jiouse to believe there was no Opposition. The country wanted to get afcthe men who browse sheep over thousands of acres, with out even keeping shepherds to look after them. It was circulated in Napier that the Government, being liberal, had cast off the Maori vote, ide strongly denied that. Last session the Native Minister received deputations, and made promises. :He did not absolutely commit himself to writing, but said that such matters would be favourably received. Then telegrams would be sent throughout the colony that the hou. gmember for blank had a most cordial interview with the Minis ter of Woiks respecting a bridge over the Molyneux. It would be put in print, and itwoudbe said that the hou. member for blank had don-j his duty. The idea which now animated the public was; that the policy ot corruption should determine and absolu tely close ; that men who would occupy positions of agents coming within the Bribery Act should be excluded from the Ministerial benches of this colony for in definitely by long terms. The coming leader of the Opposition had declared him self opposed to manhood suffrage and the re-distribution of .seats.

Mr Wason said last session the Opposi tion had no leader. It was a committee of safety. He might have put the leadership up to tender. The Opposition last session absolutely sold the leadership to the wealthiest person iv the House. Mr Sutton said ths Government would best consult the interests of the colony by attending to the Road Boards and Counties Bill, instead of abusing an Opposition which has no existence.

In conclusion, Mr Sutfc'm had a fling at the Native Minister's Private Secretary, whom he charged with eaves-dropping and touting for his chief's popularity on stump ing tonrs. Mr Rowe said the speecli of the hou. member was a very extraordinary one. It •was the speech of a young member, unac quainted with Parliamentary business. There were members in the Bouss who did not require advice, who would not bow down before the idol of party. He main that there shotild have been an Income and Property Tax, the whole colony should have been divided into smaller districts. He characterised the Ministry as fragmen tary with no unity of purpose, If they wanted a party there should be some well defined party principles in the Ministry. He referred to his journey up Dun Moun tain in search of copper, and travelling over slippery ground, to which lie compared the Ministry. He would advise them to retire for a week, and consult until they knew their own minds, until they were united. They must not expect to have a united party or lead a majority of the House. The House -would not bow down to. any idol whether ■ gold or silver. Reporter (sotto voice) : Or Dutvilla copper). He iwould vote for the motion believening it neces sary to do justice to the colony throughout. Twenty per cent of the land fund should be devoted to public works. As will be !seeu by division list Mr Rowe had the pleasure of voting with a noble band of eleven against 52. After a lengthy debate, the amendment was lost by 52 to 11. ' The following is the division list :— .: Ayes : Messrs Atkinson, Ballan.ee, Barff, ■Barton, Beet-ham, Bowen, Brandon, Bryce, Bunny (teller), Carrington, Cutten, Dignan, De Latour, Feldwick, Fisher, Etzroy, George (teller), Gibbs, Gisborne, Green, Grey, Hamlin, lleslop, Hobbs, Hodgkiu son, Joyce, Kelly, Mncandrew, Manders, McLean, McMinn, Montgomery, Moor house, Nahe, Oliver, Orrnond, O'Rorke, Pyke, Keeves, Richardson, Russell, Sutton, Saunders, Sheehan, Stevens, Tawiti, Tesch niaker, Thomson, Tole, Waliis, Wason, Wood. Noes: Messrs. Douglas, Fox, Macfar lane, Morris, Richmond, Rowe (teller), Seymour, Sharp, Swanson, Whitaker, and Woolcock (teller). SUPPLY.

The House then went into Committee of Supply, and thefollowingitemswerepassed : —Stamp Department, £5616; Registrar- General's Department, £5,000; printing and stationary, £12,540 ; geological, £3,462 ; exploration, survey, aud inspector of mines, £1,000. A lon^ discussion occurred In committee on the item " Secretary to the Premier" (Mr Mitchell) many members objecting to his holding the additional post of Ban sard reporter, and insinuating that he might be biassed iv reporting speeches affecting his superior. Mr Giaborne defended Civil servants, pointing out that] they ale the servauta of the colony, not of the Ministry of the day. Mr Swansea pointed out that Mr E. Fox had been secretary to three successive Premiers. Major Atkinson moved that the item be struck out, but on division it was retained by 36 to 14, four members of the late Government voting against it. A lontr discussion also occurred on the electoral item, with reference to the recent revision scandal at the Bay of Islands. Sir Robert Douglas in the course of debate said that in his own election ho knew that dead men voted. Ultimately the whole electoral item was postponed. CHARITABLE INSTIT UTIONS. A Ion«■ discussion ensued on the item, £50,000 %r charitable aid. Mr Ballance said the Government intended to subsidise Charitable Institutions in the proportions of one pound for each pound raised, leaving them to organise themselves. There were twenty-two hospitals in the colony now supported, and 11 hospitals in the centresjoi population maintained out of the Consoli dated Fund, and managed by the General Government. In couutios and municipali ties the Government would deduct the amount of snhsidies from the Consolidated Fund. Tnc Government believed the local bodies were far more competent to deal with these institutions than paid officers. Sir Robert Douglas thought the votes should be placed by a general poor rate. Mr Swanson said local mrnagement in Auckland would mean a poor rate levied in towns. In the Couoty of Eden many, ladies and gentlemen were ready to devote time and attention to the sick, but if any body had an idea that the Auckland hospital cculd be maintained by voluntary contribu tions, notwithstanding that the County of Eden was one of the richest in the cololy, he would be entirely mistaken. From the North Cape to Lake Taupo all sick,: and all accidents were sent to the Auckland Hospital. Was it to be understood that Parnell, Newmarket,, and Newton ■ must contribute locally? (cries of "Yes."). Then God help the people who go round with the nat there. There was a refuge for old men and women to be maintained. ,It really meant a poor rate, which would be obnoxious. The people of Men were not stingy in the cause of charity, but though the most liberal he -would like to see the Colonial Treasurer going round with the hat there. ,-, MrPykesaidifthc Govcrnmcntsnpportecl hospitals in wealthy towns like Duncaiu justice should be allowed to country :,.?K*S?oeluui asked the House to pass the vote and fight it out when the BUI j came Sir'R Douglas moved that the item be struck out, as the present arrangement was a mere sham, and money intended for pub lic works was being expended for hospitals. Mr Balance explained that the urn, which was' to be bronght down wouldplace all hospitals oh a square footing. ■; ' j ...,„, The vote was then passed, and: The House adjourned at 2 o'clock. ''"■' The House is now suffering from anew fit of industry. Though. ths attendance ;is thin, it. appears determined to sit until two o'clock for weeks'to come. ... r ■ REVENUE ACTION. During yesterday afternoon,, Mr Ballance.

BISHOP COWIE'S LECTURE.

Thk Rif{ht Rev. Dr.Cowie, Bishop of Auckland, delivered a scholarly lecture last evening, at the Wellesley-street rooms, before the members of the Christian Young Men's Association, 'On Ihe most ancient Christian writing after those of iheNew Testament." The chair was occupied bvthe pre-ident. Colonel Hauitaiiij who intro duced his Lordship with a few appropriate re marks on the interest which should be f«jlt by Christian people in such lectures which tended to strengthen their faith in Holy Scripture. Mis-i Gertrude James, the pianist, performed a very pleasing selection ot music, after which the Bishop proceeded with his lecture, WJ&ich con sisted in authenticated statements,respecting the discoveryof a beautiful letter, fuu or Christian sentiment and admonition, written in the year AD 95- by Clement of Itoinie to. the :Church of Corinth, and a. critical analysis with extracts from Clement's epistle. ; One are. of this letter said his Lordship, writ'en in Greek, is deposited and carefully preserved in the British Museum. Ie is generally supposed that demont was.of Jewish extraction, of the family of Flavius Cement of ...Home, and one of the dis ciples of later Apostles. He died Bishop of Homo in the year 102. The, manu script o£ the . epistle was ■preserved, in the library of uho patriarch of Alexandria, and with the Alexandrian MS3. of the* New Testament Scriptures was sent to Charles the Kirat. by Cyril l.ucaras ra 3628. In our time within these lest few years, a cw of the .letter wa "discovered by Uriennioa, Bishop of M«ce : donia at Constantinople, and, a Syriac. trans ation, bearing all the evidences of being in dependent of the. Alexandrian copy. As to the importance .of these discoveries, it might be ri-ntioped that the authenticity of the tragedies of Aeschylus depended upon a manuscript of the Kleventh Century. The later disco very of this nore "n'-ient copy afforded a wonderful oon irmation of the genuineness of the manuscript in the British Aiuseiim. This was the most ancient a n d evangelical «r«,^"^. Testament. There was no doubt whatever that Clement,held tho highest place in the Roman Church." The letter is addressed from Ihe ChSrchof Rometo.tho Church at Corinth," Th^lWiop referred to the reasonable opinions oftho™oSlea*addß(&o^ißx;t:.theflW.in.Tteoo(. of tho £enninenes«oi ,lho lett.-r., Dr Westcott, the °egius Professor of Divin ty. was ot opinion that Clement Was art-immediate dss-iole of one oftn^Sstlea^prpbably of St. Peter, and his n nifiion vra.% ' grounded upon., the like n«e of certain ' words by both.

The;oeca«ion of writinK the letter was to appease the feuds thai had broken out in the Church at Corinth. Tho Bishop next gave extracts from the epistle to show how deeply the writer had studied the 01.1 T^ament, and how greatly Clement was ; imbued with their spi. it of peace andcpncihation; iJ£ fov example; all Mice things God the Creator and M^tei-of tho Univee-e ordered that you I iKeuKTba nt peace arjcl concord, doing EQO& lj)

Other passages were quoted by t^elearned lecturer, and concluded with the folio'>ine remarks and prayer of Clement:—l he Popes chimed authority for their Church as pro oppdinK from the Bishop of Kome, but history !?nvers Kthe relation, and shows plainly that the Bishop 'derived hiri authority from the Church, Mid not the Church from tbe Bishop. The prayer was as follows:-" Grant to us, Lord, that we may set our hope upon Thy nanv-, who art the primal source of all creation. Open the tyesof our heart, that we may know that Thou lit Highest in <he Highest. Holiest, and ihni Ipsus Christ J8 Thy Son ; inai inou aii/ vnifli-q that we may Buhnut ourselves to tnem do PK Thy wHl> Who, said his Lordship, would have grudge" the Church of Homo lierpnmaoy Rev "it Taylor, to the bishop, a-.d the the lady musician, was carried by acclamation.

The Murder at Waiapu.

(BY TELEGRAPH.)

(PEtt PKESS AGKNCY.)

giGISBOItNE, Thursday. The Wniapn minder case is creating great interest here. The Coroner's inanost com menced yesterday. Mr Ward is retained for the defence, and from the evidence it would appear tliat the only crime will be one of manslaughter. The native prisoner Re nenine, who was charged with rape, is now to be arraigned for murder. The Court sat late last night, being delayed by one of the witnesses fainting under cross-examination It will probably last a week

This day.

At half-past 12 last night the jury brought in the following verdict: "That the said Hirea Whakaaru on the 28th August, 1878, on a terrace above the Waiatouto Creek near Te Awanni was found dead, thcere ap pearing marks of violence on and inside her body, the hoid marks being in the opinfon of jurors, inflicted by Henare Pete and and Peneanieten, which caused her to dio." They also made this presentment, " That tho action taken by the committee (native) at Waiomataina, relative to investigating the cause of death of the deceased is worthy of the highest coinmcnd.tiion und praise. The evidence taken before the said com mittee, and retaken at this inquiry has very inner assisted the jurors in arriving at the verdict. The said jurors arc also impressed with the advisability that representation should be made to the Government that action may at once be taken to prevent the wholesale' traffic in spirituous liquors by public unlicensed persons so close together in outlaying districts, such as where the oiience was committed."

THE LATE DROWNING CASE.

THE BODY FOUND

The body of Peter Jowau, the sailor be longing to the ship Lady Jocclyn, who fell over the wharf about a fortnight ago while in a drunken state and was drowned, was observed floating alongside that vessel to day by George Stevenson, one of the crew. He i\t once reported the matter at the water police station, and Constables McFeltrigo ■and Sampson at once obtained a boat and recovered the body. It was very much decomposed, and the features were so much disfigured as to be scarcely recognisable. Woods, another sailer, who was with deceased at the time of the accident identified the boJy as that of Jo wan. It was then conveyed to the dead house to await the coroner's inquest.
