He said vTr need not tell them he was an opponent of the •Ministry. (Hisses and confusion.) He said the government were in a worse,; position than hpfore Sir George Grey's stumping tour. Ihe ■Krtliat Sir George Grey they uttered had leeti torn to tatters. (N0.n0.) Whero was the wiector Bill ? Gone into the waste paper basket. S voice: " sTou helped to put it there.") . Then where was the Hill for the redistribution of S SO much talked of. Why the Govern ment voted against it. (A voice: "So did .yon Then Mr Sutton went in for the Electora Bill and the Maori vote, hut could only get, anplause from a very few, Be then went n\ at the Laii wavßill, and condemned the power given by the Bill. He then touched slightly upon the Beer Duty Bill, and said ho voted against it becaufe of the cost of collecting the revenue. He next touched upon the Waikato meeting, and read a few extracts from tho report. He fsaid a gentleman who was well paid, and who is going to Kuglund as an Immigration Agent, was tin reporter engaged in this matter. (A Voice :"A good man. too "j He said that Sir George Grey had no right to denourmc the late Sir Donald McLean for having been in company with murderers, when he hims-df followsd suit. He then said that the TaUpiri railway was a iob, and that Proudfont was the successful waggon tenderer, and that other-, were follow ing suit. He then said he was not bound up in any party. (Continued hisses-, and cries of Oh ! Oh!") He had been a working man himself. Mi Sutton then sat down, amids' a fearful uproar

MR. KB HIS CALI.KD UPON. Mr Rees was then ca'led upon, and he came forward. Before he hnd fairly started, the Chairman objected, and said it was Mr Sutton s meeting. Mr Rees said he was aware that Mr Sutton had ca'led the meeting, and that Mr Buchananhad offered to pay the rent of the ha 1, Tint Mr Sutton declined it. Mr Sutton then came forward, and protested against Mr Rees sneak ing. (Groans.) Mr Rees then sa <i I hat it would not be wise for them not to hear both sides of the question, for the people would say that they were frightened to hear the trmh. .Cheer,?, and loud cries for him to sneak.) Mr Kennedy, the Chairman, asain objected, but th - meeting would not hear him. . . MR SUTTON HISSTCt. DOWNT.

Mr Sutton then attempted to speak, but he was literally hissed down. The meeting now saw that Mr Sutton's people did not intend to allow the true po-iition of affairs to be brought before the meeting, nnd so the majority in the room then determined that he should not be further heard. At this point, a fisherman, one of Sutton's principal supports, got very angry. The Chairman ami Sutton, find ing matters telling strongly against them. through the continual noise, left the room, and turned off the gas. without, even'getting a vole of-thanks for their impartial chairman. As soon as the chair was vacated by Mr Kennedy, THffi GAS WAS HiXTINu U .SHED. Mr Rees proposed, and Mr Buchanan seconded, fcl.at.Mr McDougall should tike the chair, which was put to the meeting, and carried without, a dissentient voice. Shortly after McDougal was in the chair, the remainder of the gas was puo out, so that the meeting was in total darkness. The Chairman then said it was impossible to take a motion, owing to the darkness: but he would call upon the meeting to show their con fidence in Sir George Grey, by giving three cheers Bwhich were responded to most he irtily. THREE GROANS FOR SUTTON. People tnen called for three groans for Mr Sutton, which were most lustily given. A vote' of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings. For myself, I tliink it'was a pity Sutton did not allow the questions and Rees's observations to be made. If he bad done so. I quite believe it to have been possible for him to have had a vote of thanks recorded in his favour for meeting bis constituents, but ! am afraid he will never get a Napier audience to hear him again. . ■ . .

Fire in Wellington.—lncendiar ism.

(BY TELEGRAPH)

(From our own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day. A THREE-EOOMEt> cottage in Ingestre-street was destroyed by fire ias-t night. The cottage was the property of Mr J. Melwain, and was occupied by George Brighting, a young un married man ; his mother, who is a widow; a younger brother, aged 16; and two girls, of ten and seven years old respectively. The inmates narrowly escaped with their lives. To-day, in examining the scene of the fire, a discovery of a strange and significant nature was made. Several aid sacks partially saturated With kerosene, and a bottle which had contained inflammable oil, were found under the floor of the house, just at the soot where the fire appears to have broken out. An inquest will be held.

The following somewhat romantic story respecting the burnt-out inmates of the cottage, is told by a correspondent of the " Pos'" :— About eighteen months ago it was telegraphed by your special correspondent at Chiistohurch, that Mr Brighting had received the welcorue news that he was heir to thousands of pounds, and was leaving with his rami v for England via San Francisco. Unfortunately, just an that period, Mr Brighting was drowned, and the widow and family shortly afterwprris removed to Wellington. Having; left all business matters to her husband, and not being fully acquainted with the circumstances that linked her husband With such good fortune, the widow was at a loss how to act; but one ot two Mends interested themselves on behalf of the family, and they believe that from information received, Mrs Brighting should at once proceed to England, and claim what of right belongs to the survivors of Ihe deceased. For some weeks past, Mrs Brighting has worked hard in making prepara tions for the voyage, but thi a disaster has left the family homeless, and with comparatively nothing. She will probably sail in the Kakaia, leaving her family for the present in Wellington, and it is hoped that the present circumstances may be more than compensated for by the smile of Dame Fortune. Mrs Brighting desires to thank those who have helped her in a pecuniary way, and promises that in the event of her success, the several amounts shall be returned to the Wellington Benevolent Institutions.

OAMARU STONE.

During his tour in the South, His Worship the Mayor, Mr H. Brett, paid a visit to Oamaru, and while there was invited by some of the leading residents to inspect the Oamaru quarries and the handsome build ings erected of stone obtained therefrom. As the result of his examination, Mr Brett has brought back two very fine samples of the stone, which maybe seen at our publish ing office. We learn from particulars sup plied to His Worship that the stone can be sawn and cut with the greatest ease ; and it has been found from many years' experience that it becomes harder from exposure. An analysis of it made by Mr G. W. Blair, Chief Engineer of Public Works in Otago in 1577, shows that its chemical constituents are as follow:—Carbonate of lime, £90-15. alumina, '1*55 ; oxide of iron, 55 ; soluble silica, 45; insoluble,-matter, 715; loss, 15. The stone is quite soft when quarried, but hardens rapidly, says Mr Blair,' when exposed to a dry atmosphere, which enables it to be worked into the most elaborate ornamentation at little cost. Mr Thomson, Civil Engineer, also reported favourably on the Oamaru stone in 1871. The Oamaru bridge, 'whose span is 24ft., and width between paiapets ISft., was erected from this material in IS6O, and has been found by recent inspection to be in perfect coudition. Amongst the other fine buildings which are constructed'of Oamaru stone, and exhibit every mark of stability and permanence, are the Bank of New Zea land at Oamaru, the Star aud Garter Hotel, and many other very handsome structures. Otago University in Dunedin, Bank of New South Wales, a four-storey building ; first Church of Otago, of Gothic style, with a lofty tower and spire, aud some tine orna mentation ; Otepopo bridge, and several smaller bridges. The stone has also been largely used in graveyards, as headstones and monuments, which exhibit no signs of deterioration.

_ The stone can be quarried in blocks of any size, the dimensions of those ordinarily quarried being from 20 to 80 cubic feet each, from which building sizes are cut with an ordinary cross-cut saw, the teeth of which are set a little wide. Fine columns or pil lars are made by putting slabs ot stone into a turning lathe, when any design may be produced that is capable of being turned out ftorn timber. Ordinary joiner's tools may be used for dressing the stone into elaborate designs, the cost of labour being less by more than one-half that of working a hard free stone. The fact that the stone is largely used for millggchimneys and for church spires in Otago shows that it possesses great strength. A flour mill in Oamaru, four storeys high, was built of the stone, and has a substantial and durable look.

It is anticipated that the stone, when its qualities become fully known, will come largely into demand in Auckland, whence return cargoes of timber may be taken to Oamaru, where a line market exists. The stone can be put on board at Oamaru at 9d to Is per cubic foot, and the Union Steam Shipping Company will convey it hither at 22s per ton of 22 cubic feet. One advantage of this stone for building purposes is that it requires" no plaster for the wall of rooms. ' The houses in Oamaru show no signs of decay, but are better to-day than when erected; the surface of the stone wherever exposed being quite hard, and the edges aud carvings as true as when first used.

THEATRE ROYAL.-MR DARRELL'S DRAMA.

This now popular drama. " Transported for Life," from the facile pen of Mr George Darrell was presented last evening to a large house, with unabated interest; and wilt, by particular desire, be repeated to-night. The drama is favourably placed, and the scenery and acting are in happy union. Mr DarrelPs Hubert Chandos is f vii of animation, and Mrs Darreli's impersonation of Edith is a natural' picture, tinted with womanly beauty and tenderness. The idealities of Mrs Hill and Miss- Raymond possessed merit; also the representations of Messrs Steele and the other stars of this talented company of players. We learn that at the close of the Darrell season the Auckland play goers will have an opportunity of welcoming our old dramatic friends back to Auckland, in the- persons of Mr and Mrs Hoskins (Miss Florence Colville), who are leaving Christ church for this city. ■"'•'/.,.

EXCURSION TRAIN TO WAIKATO.

On Friday, 29th, a cheap and well-arranged excursion train leaves Auckland at 6 a.m. for Hamilton, Kukuhia, and Ohaupo, re turning the same day,, reaching Auckland at 11.30 a.m. As this train arrives at Ohaupo at 11,20, and does not leave again until 6.30 p.m., excursionists will have seven good hours to visit the bazaar at Hamilton, review the races between Hamil ton and Ohaupo, or anyplace in that dis trict. As time is an object, the railway authorities advertise that the train will only stop at certain stations,' and not at any be tween Mercer and Hamilton, that district having a local train suiting the require ments of the settlers, but those local settlers will have to remember that their train leaves sooner than.the excursion train. At Rukuhia station, which is between Hamilton and Ohaupo, passengers may leave the train and take a short cut to the course. From a point near this Rukuhia station we understand that Mr Ben Edwards, and other enterprising coach pro prietors, will run 'busses on to the course. Citizens Avho have not visited Waikato have thus an opportunity of d oing so in one day, and on this occasion they will be able to witness the brilliant evolutions of the Te Awamutu Cavalry, who will hold a review in the presence of their esteemed commander-in chief, Major Jackson. The country is clothed in the garb of spring, and offers special attractions to townspeople. Single fare only charged for the trip.

In this case, adjourned till, yesterday, Mr I Chapman applied for a rule hisi. The. case was recently heard at Christchurch before Justice Johnson andajury. The petitioner, a journalist; married the respondent," iShen Miss Comalina Virgilla Pelossie, at St. Kilda, Victoria, in 1865. They afterwards removed to Christchurch, where tney lived happily together; one child being the result of the marriage. In 1876 the re spondent paid a visit to her mother at Adelaide. She alwayshad a longingforthestage, and when in Australia ioined the Wbeatleigh Company under the name of Nellie Daley, and there met the co-respondent—Alexander—who is well known on the New Zealand stage, and com mitted adultery with him. She conti.iued to travel with the company after her return to the colony, and saw her husband at Christchurch, but he then had no suspicion of her unfaithful ness. She left for the North in the company of Alexander, and continued her illicit connection with him, until her husband heard of it, and instituted proceedings for a divorce. There was practically no defence. A counter charge of adultery had been set up, but there was no attempt to prove it. The decree nisi was granted. RYLEY V. RYLEY. This case was heard last week, but was post poned, aa a doubt aro^eas to tne domicile of the respondent. If he had forfeited or superseded his domicile in New Zealand, by acquiring one at Fyi or elsewhere, the Court would have no jurisdiction.
